which the worms come are laid in the
fall By a common yellowish brown
moth, often seen around lights in the
evening. The little worms coming
from these eggs iva over winter in

warm days. AS soor As spring comes
they feed ravenodsly, choosing grass

the latter part of May o. the first o.

A HUMAN STREAK.

The following from the pen OF Col.
VIM. Mexican shows very human
streak that one cannot help but love
in this pioneer newspaper man who
has fought the good fight through the
lean years when others were discour-
aged, writing booster articles to en-
courage the less optimistic, when even
the strongest fears faltered. 1t is
such men that have made North Da-
kota ad why not pass the bouquets

them. The Enterprise says:
The Valley City papers all had
something mplimentary to say

WHY NOT BE FAIR?

One of the state papers whose edi-
Tor is a new man in the state is print
ing articles, relative to the condition
of the finances of the state that are
misleading and which are written for
the sole purpose of strengthening the
position of the writer who is an ap-
pointive state official and so we'll
known for trickery and political pros
titution that his name need not even
be mentioned These articles are a
positive detriment to the state and
cannot by any possible stretch of the
imagination have any beneficial effect
for either the state or any set OF indi-
viduals. For the first time in the his
tory of the state, affairs are being con-
Quoted according to the courts in
depreciation of the law and while we
may regret the curtailing of expendi-
lures. we are bound to admire the man
who has the courage to demand that
all business be conducted on a bust
ness basis and that the law of the
state be obeyed by the state officials.
Taxpayers will not be misled by the
clamor originating within a set of fell
lows who have an axe to grind but will
appreciate the motive that lies behind
the effort on the part of the members
of the board of equalization to act &C.
cording to the letter of the law and
when they pay taxes, to know that the
money will be expended as the makers
of the constitution intended. The
state is not bankrupt, on the contrary
is in better shape than ever before
but the reserve has been used to re-
duce outstanding obligations, which
seems to be very good business policy
and the fellows who are making the
noise would be doing more for this
great commonwealth if they were to
admit the simple fact that this is the
best state in the union, governed by
the best set of officers, offering the
best opportunities, having the best
schools and having all state business
conducted on an honest business basis

CAN PEACE POLICY BE OVERCOME

We believe not, or at least not at
this time so far as the dirty Turks
are concerned. The United States can
not afford to become embroiled in this
war as it might easily do by giving too
much weight to the Turks firing a gun
in the general direction of one of our
boats, which perhaps in view of all the
circumstances might as we'll have been
out of range of the Truk guns. After
witnessing the destruction of human
life in the European conflict, the pow
erty and intense suffering, even unto
death, of innocent women and chill
dren, it would seem that our president
should be upheld in his peace policy,
even to the extent of suffering slight
insults. We don't want to fight, not at
all, this country is prosperous and
happy and if few of our citizens have
Travelled to foreign parts and are made
to suffer, it is a question as to whether
Or not We can afford to spare many
thousands of our very best young men,
in order to avenge the wrongs real or
imaginary. In any event We are with
the president heart and soul in his
policy and sincerely hope he may
avoid any war with any nation, even
though they richly deserve a licking.

UNDERWOOD TARIFF DOOR
SWINGS ONLY ONE WAY

There is a scarcity of potatoes in
Manitoba this year. North Dakota
potato raisers would like to take ad
vantage of it, but there is a Canadian
duty against importations amounting
to zoe a bushel. That means that
other Canadian provinces have the
first chance at the Manitoba market,
because any potatoes exported from:
our state must pay duty of 20 per
cent into the Canadian treasury.
The proposed Canadian reciprocity
treaty which was so roundly and al
most universally condemned in our
state had at least the good point of
mutually. We we're to have some ad
vantages in the Canadian market and
they were to have some in ours, but
the Underwood tariff bill gave the
Canadians greater advantages or pre-
ferences in our market than had been
proposed in the Canadian reciprocity
pact and with absolutely no conces-
sion by Canada to our product. How
long will the people stand for that
kind of one sided deal? The worst Of
it is that the gift of our markets to
Canada, so far as agricultural pro-
ducts are concerned, has also been
given to all the other nations of the
world. It is a case of help yourselves.

URGES AMERICANS TO BUY AMER
| cAN.MADE GOODS.

In the December Woman's Home
Companion Frank A. Vanderlip, presi-
dent of the National City Bank of New
York, urges Americans to buy home
made goods. His appeal is in the form
of letter which he sent to the Com
panion approving an article in the o..
tober number by Ida NJ Tar1ell in
which she showed how the present
war has opened to American women
an opportunity to assist business in
this country by patronizing American
products. Miss Tarbell said that our
dependence upon Europe is due to the
neglect of our own products in the
past by American women who have
: been spending vast sums for articles
of foreign make. Mr.. Vanderlip's let

Lord Nelson, Togo, and others.

Lord Nelson, Togo, and others.
While others are specializing as to
whether the captain Of the Emden
will find a permanent place in the
literature Of the sea the matter-of-fact
editor of this paper has been trying
to recall some of the statements made
by naval critics about the practical
worthlessness of any war machine
carrying the name of cruiser. The
naval critics have been fond Of meas
uring the naval strength of the differ
ent countries by taking account only
of battle ships of the dreadnoughr
type. If we are not mistaken our own
hero, Captain Hobson, used that
measuring stick. TO the country edi-
tor, with no claims to special knowl-
edge along naval lines and quite likely
looked upon as profoundly ignorant
by the "critics,' it would seem that
the career of the Cruiser Emden has
demonstrated that cruisers, partlcu-
larly those which can attain high
speed, are of immense value and
should be an important factor in de-
termining the naval strength of ma
ton. 1t has been learned during the
European war, if not known before,
that the business of armed war YES
sells is to destroy commerce as well
as battleships of the enemy. As far
as destroying commerce is concern
ed it would seem that the cruiser can
put it all over the battleships, and so
far as the Emden is concerned if its
destruction had been left to battle
ships it would still be sailing upon the
high seas with all of the impudence
and much of the skill Of John Paul
Jones.

BOOZE BARRED FROM RUSSIA.

We hea rim this country of the var

to entirely abolish strong drink in a
day is miracle that outshies any
day is a miracle that outshines any
that the fact that this people are con-
sidered the most backward among the
civilized people makes the fact more
astonishing.
Not one drop of vodka, Whiskey,
brandy, gin or any other strong liquor
is obtainable in entire Russia today,
which is territory covering one-sixth
of the habitable globe.
The story how strong drink has been
utterly banished was related to the
Associated Press by Michael Demitro-
witch Tchalisheff, the man who is d.
rectly responsible for putting an end
to Russia's great vice. the vodka habit
This prohibition, which has been
carried out to the finest detail, means
that the vast population who have con-
sumed billion dollars worth of vodka
yearly, has been lifted like miracle
from drunken state to sobriety.
The marks Of suffering, the pinched
cheeks and hideous condition among
the peasants are already disappearing
like magic; their minds are brighter
their faces wear healthy glow, cloth.
ing and homes show the great change
which has been brought about since
the day of mobilization began, when
the sale of vodka, the manufacture OF
which is a. government monopoly, was
ordered discontinued, together with
that of other strong drink.

The CRUISER EMDEN.

A favorite topic for editorial writ
ers of late has been the German cruz
ser Emden. It's career since the op-
ening of the European war has been
such as to appeal to the imagination
of those who have read the lives of
naval heroes, or perhaps even to
those who have in youthful days read
dime novels of the black flag type.
Some Of the editors refer to sucn
American heroes as John Paul Jones,
Farragut and Dewey, and of foreign
countries to such heroes as Drake,
