PROVE SILAGE PAYS AS FEED
Demonstration Near Dickinson Shows
What SiIos Can Be Made to Mean
When Properly Used.

Dickinson.-A practical demonstra-
ton Of what the silo will do for the
farmer in this country was completed
at the w. J. Motley farm, twelve
miles south of Dickinson, where TWEEN
ty-seven head of 2 and 3-year-old ma
tive steers were fed on siage during
the winter.
The steers belonged to Berring~r
Brothers, who own local meat mar
ket. The cattle were delivered to the
feed grounds on Nov. Is and at that
time had an average weight of 936
pounds. When weighed up this week
they showed an average gain of 27S
pounds head, which gave the feeder
good profit at 7A cents pound for
his winters work. Corn silage was
fed morning and night at the rate Of
forty pounds a head, a hay ration be-
ing given the cattle at noon.

RAIL ACTIVITIES IN STATE
viii es Confined to West Central
500 viii Build to the
1erthold.

Grand Forks. - Railroad oonstruc
ton activities in North Dakota this
year will be confined almost entirely
10 the west central section of the
state, with the district west of the
Missouri river, heretofore without rail
facilities, as the goal.
Definite confirmation of the 500 rail
roads plans to build line from Ma
koti through the Fort Berthold reser.
walton has been given in letter by
G. w. Webster of the presidents office,
who says that, unless unforeseen con-
ditions arise the road will be con-
structed. D. Larim, of Ryder, made
the inquiry that brought forth this an.
nouncement.
The 500 road viii also extend it's
Ambrose extension, but the operations
on that line will all be in oMntana.
The Great Northern probably will
continue the laying of steel from Arne-
gard, the present terminus of the Nc
Kenzie county line from Fairview to
the Missouri river. There is a pos
sibility, however, that this years op-
erations will carry the line only as far
rs Watford.
Engineers are out on the New Rock
ford to Lewistown line again, but the
report that the Great Northern has
purchased the Turtle Lake line of the
Northern Pacific will not down. Until
that is definitely settled it is uncertain
whether the line will be built from
New Rockford.
The activities of the Northern Pa
citic will be devoted almost entirely to
the extension of the Stanton line.
The Midland Continental will run it's
fine from Wimbledon, in a northeast
erly direction, and may carry it
through to Grand Forks.

Join the Tax League

The largest problem which the next legislature of Alabama will have to deal with is that relating to taxation. Many important questions will come before the lawmakers, but tax meas ure seeking a reform of the present unsatisfactory law will easily over shadow all other measures, important though several may be.
 Lawmaking is easy enough when people are agreed upon what they want. Many bills submitted to legis- lative bodies are without complex fea- lures. But the ablest students of po- litical economy are free to confess that the application of theories of just taxation are extremely difficult. Still in several states of the union the revenue acts seem fair and are so generally satisfactory that little or no complaint is made. There is no reason then why we cannot have good tax law in Alabama.
 The time has come when our grow ing cities and our ever increasing ag- ricultural interests demand tax legis- lation that will approximately meet the views of all reasonable people. Tax leagues are now being organized in every county. No legislative leader has outlined tax bill, but when the time comes wise heads will evolve a good measure. In the meantime, a campaign of education is in order: rather it might be said campaign of organization.
 A strong league has been formed in Jefferson county. Eugene L. Brown is president. The office was forced upon him, but being public spirited citizen MT. Brown simply could not decline. The membership fee is only $2. This Jefferson county organiza- tion will have an immense enrolment. but every county in the state should have a league with all taxpayers members.
 When the state is organized by counties a general convention should
 
 be called to meet in Montgomery just before the assembling of the legis- lature. In that convention a compe- tent committee to draft a measure should be appointed
 But the urgent cry today is: Join your county league. ,..

Methodism In Washington

Both branches of the Methodist church-north and south-are strong in Washington, and now the Methodist Episcopal church, south, is about to erect there an imposing edifice that will compare well with handsome ca thedral churches in the more important cities of this country The committee on plans, appointed by the general conference, met in Birmingham yester- day and in view of the fact that the sum of $300,000 has been subscribed it should not be long before ground is broken for actual construction work The committee includes Bishop Can dler and Bishop Mccoy, and they are earnest and enthusiastic.
 A splendid site for the church has already been acquired. It is on Mt
 Vernon avenue and is opposite the great Carnegie library. It is the in- tention to spend about $25O,OOO on the structure.
 | Washington has long been noted for the magnificence of its public build ings. The government will never tire of adding to the architectural gran deur of the national capital. Washing ton is a city, too, of elegant avenues and of stately homes, and is known far and wide as the leading exponent of the city beautiful idea in America. The Methodists, in determining to contribute to the architectural beauty of Washington, must be warmly com mended. Although the great denomi-

spondent, and there was also protec- tive shield of metal network which is erected over the Kaiser wherever he makes his quarters. In addition to these precautions, which are provided in advance by "small army" of en- gineers whenever the Kaiser moves his quarters, bodyguards and sentries ga- lore kept watch about the Emperor's person. Around the chateau, accord ing to the correspondent, were three unbroken lines of sentries, with bat talion of infantry and squadron of cavalry encamped near. Inside the chateau there were guards at the Kali ser's door, guards in the hall, guards at the front door and attachments inn mediately above and below the room in which the Kaiser slept.
 In his motor car, after his august slumbers were ended, the Kaiser vls- tied various points along the battle line, "a safe distance in the rear, de- livering nine speeches during the morning, "all bombastic and eXces- sively martial in tone" Materials for luxurious luncheon were comman- deered from a French country gentle man. The meal was prepared for the Kaiser by his chef and served by fun 'kies in gorgeous uniforms. After lunch there were more speeches to the troops and then quick trip in his motor back to the chateau for dinner. At no time was he in danger of the enemy's bullets.
 If this correspondent is to be cred ited-and the Kaiser is probably no more careful about his safety than the King of England, the Czar of Russia or the President of France would be in similar circumstances-his "going to war" looks for all the world like an imperial picnic.

The Kaiser "At the Front"

An "eyewitness" describes in a re- cent cable dispatch typical day spent with Emperor William of Germany while he was visiting his troops in France. This account may be some what exaggerated for the purpose of putting the Kaiser in a bad light, and then again his excessive caution may be in reality due to what the corre- spondent calls a conviction that his safety is essential to Germany and his person is of more value to the German cause than an army corps.
 On the occasion described the Kaiser is said to have spent the night in a French chateau, elaborately housed and protected in extraordinary ways from aerial and other attacks. Sacks were piled on the roof, says the corre-

THE ILLUSION OF WAR

By Richard Le Gallienne. War
 I abhor,
 And yet how sweet The sound along the marching street Of drum and fife, and l forget Wet eyes of widows, and forget Broken old mothers, and the whole Dark butchery without a soul. Without a soul-save this bright drink Of heady music. sweet as he'll And even my peace-abiding feet Go marching with the marching street. For wonder, wonder goes the fife, And what care l for human life! The tears fill my astonished eyes, And my full heart is like to break And vet 'tis all embannered lies, A dream those little drummers make. O. it is wickedness to clothe Yon liideous grinning thing that stalks Hidden in music, like a queen That in a garden of glory walks, Till good men love the thing they loathe Art, thou hast many infamies, But not an infamy like this 0 stop the fife and still the drum. Anu show the monster as she is.
