How to Get Acquainted.

The problem Of getting acquainted is
big and troublesome one to the new
conner in any community. The young
bride who has three or four even
two friends in the community where
she settles has a rosestrewn path he
fore her. She is feted and introduced
and generally treated as if the world
had been made for her. So if you have
friend or So in the new community
wherein you settle, your problem is not
very difficult. Bide your time, and your
friends will gladly extend their social
life to include you. Desirable new
corners are always welcome.
One Of the hardest things for new
conner who wants to make friends Is to
discriminate between desirable and un-
desirable persons. The old resident has
little difficulty III doing this. But the
newcomer, to whom every one Is Il
stranger. finds it a hard thing to pick
and choose. For this reason the one
friend is a godsend. She or he can
start the newcomer on the right road
to meeting congenial and interesting
persons.
The young woman who must go into
a big city as total stranger will often
find herself happier II she boards for a
few months than il sh~ settles down in
an apartment. II she goes to a we'll
recommended boarding house she is
likely to meet desirable persons; she
can look about and choose the neigh
borhood where she wants to live, she
can find her bearings. in fact, before
she really settles down.
The letter Of introduction is also help
flu. In starting the newcomer out on the
right track. II you think the matter
over and make inquiries you will almos,
certainly find some one of your friends
who has an acquaintance in the new town
to which you are going. And almost
every one Is glad to receive and act or
a letter Of Introduction.
After you have once started to make
friends your troubles are not ended. Yor
must make them feel that you want
them to remain friends. and that you are
willing to do your part in making the
friendship worth while. Return all frs
calls promptly and. graciously After
that, II you find that any one who has
called on you is not congenial you neeG
not continue the friendship But never
commit the rudeness of failing to return
a first call Return Inequalities, Also II
you are invited to teas and luncheons
and dinners. do something in return. A
tea will probably prove the easiest and
least expensive and most all-includins

yourself ready to do your part in the

FRENCH SHOES NOT PRETTY

or buckle, more or less barbaric, placed
at the top of the vamp.
Naturally. this buckle presents a chance
for something eccentric and conspicuous,
and the most is made of it: but the fas-
tidious woman can omit it altogether or
use one of well cut white crystals. The
huge round buckle Of crystals is not as
much admired as one that is cut in q
good design, and the preference is given
to the oblong shape.
One of the tricks in these buckles 10
to make them of crystals to match the
gown and have as little metal showing
as possible. Bows of any kind are utterly
out on shoes, except the fiat ones which
are put on English pumps.
Black satin cothurnes are very attrac-
tive, but what do you say TO jet? Yet
the latter is good when the shoe Is well
made and fits the foot The lacings are
of black satin. and there are two tiny
leaves made of solid crystals set on the
vamp as a buckle.

Like all other branches of city life. there
is formality and constraint about the
social life of the churches.
o. course the small community. where
society is less formal, is by far the most
agreeable for the newcomer to enter.
The suburbs of the big cities are more
friendly than the cities themselves, and
they have the added advantage of gen
orally being less expensive at the same

FRIDAY, AUG. IS, 1918.
THE CROP SITUATION.

The Forum publishes tonight a
summary of the crop situation as re-
ported from all sections of the state.
These reports, which are from con-
sservative and reliable sources, show
that while the 1913 crop is not going
ito be a record breaker it is going to
be a good money maker
The wheat crop is not heavy, but
1T will be an easy crop to . harvest,
and much more profitable crop to
handle, bushel for bushel than the 1912
crop. The bumper yield of last year
was accompanied by an exceedingly
heavy straw, which simply ate up
twine and labor. This year both the
twine bill and the labor will be much
cheaper, which means that more of
the money received for this crop will
be retained by the farmer.
The Forum has stated before that
it believed the price this year would
be good. There is a heavy wheat
crop in the nation, but not as heavy
as first expected, owing to the drought
In Missouri, Kansas and other soft
wheat states. On the other hand the
northwest's crop of hard spring wheat
Is going to be decidedly short. on the
whole, and this should have an effect
on the market, favorable to the farm
er. The drought has also cut down
the estimated yields of corn material
ly, which should also have the effect
of boosting the price of wheat.
North Dakota business men mani
fest a feeling of optimism that shows
they consider this a very favorable
year and the general opinion seems
to be that this will be very pros
porous fall.

Summer ought to be the months, of
most perfect health, but owing to con
taminated, water and - milk, unripe
fruit, germs and. insects the average
Of. health is not good at this time of
the year. There is much, skin trouble
from acid fruits, and much dyspepsia
and diarrhoea from cold foods and iced
beverages :-.... .sf!.n r. &-.4S-
The skin trouble is easily stopped by
disseminating fruit for a few days, and
by the use of a mild laxative to, clean
the bowels and tone the blood. The
dyspepsia is likewise corrected by the
use of a laxative that has combined
with. 1.-The elements of a digestive
tonic. Hence the best remedy to use
Is DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, which,
as Its name indicates. is a pleasant

imports of manufacturers materials
exports of manufacturers and agri-
cultural products, movements of manu-
factures' materials within the United
States, activities of transportation
agencies, and the supply and distri-
button of currency at the latest avail
able dates. In practically all of these
figures of the fiscal year 1913 exceed
those of the former high record year,
1912. Imports of raw material for use
in the manufacturing Industries ex-
ceed those Of 1912 by $77,000,00O and
imports of manufactures for further
use in manufacturing exceed those Of
last year by $55,COO,O0O. while exports
of the products of the factories ex-
ceed those Of 1912 by $167, 900. Cot
ton, silk, fibers, tobacco, hides, lumber.
copper. pig tin and chemicals used in
manufacturing, all show increases in
the quantity imported in 1913, COM

principal manufacturers materials,
such as wool, rubber, tin and iron ore.
the figures of 1913 differ but little
from those Of 1912. The total value of
all imports for the year was $1,812,234.

CLASS WARFARE.

- The Minneapolis Tribune comment
ing on the Industrial Workers of the
World says:
1T would be an eXaggeration to say
that the Industrial Workers of the
World are real danger to our system
OF government. That would be taking
them too seriously in a country that,
at bottom, is soundly conservative
No propaganda that Is directed to
the over throw of our present social
system, whose boasted rallying cry is
NO God, no country and which is
avowedly for an irreconcilable war on
society, can make headway in this
country. But the ability of this
organization to create dissension
among the lowest type of labor, those
chiefly of foreign birth and therefore
most susceptible to such revolutionary
demagogic influence, has been too well
demonstrated the last year or two

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Success.

Hartford. Conn, Times; A contem-
porary discovers in the literature cir
culated by one Of the financial institu-
tions in this city this quotation from
James J. Hill: -e~ -..
If you want to know whether you
are destined to be success or a fail
ure in life. you can easily find out. The
test is simple and infallible. Are you
able to save money? If not, drop out.
You will lose. You may think not, but
you will lose as sure as you live. The
seed of success is not in you"
All of which must be accepted as
profoundly automatic If we hold that
the one really to be desired. the one
actual success of the life God gives us,
is the accumulation Of goods. That, it
Is true, is the standard of success most
generally recognized by civilization.
But it seems to border on the brutal,
the demoralizing. Consider some of
our "successfuT' men. o..
Perhaps a deeper and more inspir-
ing significance can be read into it
when we remember that the gift of
acquisitiveness is often the foundation
for the virtues of abstemiousness, Of
frugality, of self discipline, of sane
conservation in mental. moral and
physical resource.
Mr.. Hill is a great accumulation Of
goods, but he is also great as a guide
of sound philosophy, as a builder Of
far vision. Still, can we accept abso-
lutely his dictum of success? There
were disciples once who were told to
take no thought Of what they should
eat or what they should wear. Their
task, their opportunity and their
teaching removed them from the field
of money saving. Yet they have been
accounted men of much success. And
in it's centuries the world has known
many teachers, leaders, helpers, SOL
diers of the COMMON good, who went
out of it leaving behind them nothing
more than the blue skies and the run
ming brooks, the green trees and the
humanity which they had loved-with
perhaps the coats on their backs.
Was the seed Of success not in
them?
