In a land where they never play ball,

On his gingerbread throne

Do you think he would fight
If he knew the delight
Of throwing a bottle Of pop at the

GROWTH IN DAlRYlNG.

North Dakota is changing from a
one crop state to a state devoted
largely to diversified farming so rapid
" as to make the change almost re
voIutionary. Yesterday The Forum
published some remarkable facts in
this connection as brought out in an
interview with E. A. Greenwood, as
sistant state dairy commissioner
After an exhaustive investigation
Mr.. Greenwood found that the butter
fat produced by the herds of the state
this year shows an increase of from
so to 65 per cent over last year.
r. Which practically means that the
. states dairy business has increased in
that volume in one year.
Another indication of growth was
+ in the number Of silos in North Da-
kota. The silos have almost doubled.
! Last year there were 700. Before 1914
comes to q. close there will be 1900.
These figures are important to every
, citizen Of North Dakota. They NEAR
a vastly increased volume Of bust
/ ness in the years to come. The dairy
; industry brings in surer and more
kcertain results than wheat raising.
There is always a big demand for
/ dairy products and the price is always
fgood. Where the wheat crop brings in
a big influx of money at one time, leav-
Ftng the farmer without cash returns
for the balance Of the year the dairy
industry brings in a steady income,
week in and week out the year round.

HOW LONG WILL WAR LAsT2

long will the war last?
It's a fool question of course, be-
kcause there is no certain answer. But
when there Is an unanswerabIe ques-
ktion it is the custom to look up pre-
Ecedents. The New York World men
tions the following:
The two most recent Central Euro
kpean" wars were settled in an amaz-
E1ngly short time. In 1865 Prussia and
kAustria went at each others threats
over the Juicy Schleswig- Holstein bone
Ito which neither of them, by the
Eway, had n right. That war lasted
fonly seven weeks, and it ended in
PRUSSIA giving Austria a terrible and
Fh~umiliating beating.
| France and Sardinia also gave Aus
Etria crushing defeat in 1859-in a war
pin which the general fighting lasted
Fless than a month. This list does not
I1nclude Italy's earlier and feebler
struggles for liberty, against Austria.
AS in 1S48-49, etc.
In July, 1870, France and Prussia
swent to war. The general fighting in
that war lasted barely a month. OF
course, the siege of Paris and other
Emaneuvers dragged on much longer.
But the actual clash in the field be-
9gan early in August and ended early
! In September.
a The Russo-Turkish war, six years
afterward was longer by a year or
more, but the Turco-Greek war in the
'90s was a matter of one swift cam
paign. The Russo-Jap war was also
comparatively brief.
In W history here is-roughly
1.-The duration of the important wars:
Revolutionary war, eight years; war
OF 1912, two years and eight months:
Mexican war. two years and eleven
weeks; civil war, foul years: Spanish
war, seven and one-half mor this (with
the bulk of the fighting lone in two
and a half).
All but one of the foregoing were
duels between two nations. The last
general European war was the Grim
can, when England, Frarce, Turkey
and Sardinia combined against Russia
from 1854 to 1856. That var continued
! for about two years and resulted In
q sound thrashing for Russia.
Before that the Napoleonic wars in.

co-operative Marketing.

Duluth Herald: In the attack upon
the problem of high cost Of living n
very important thing Is definitely
on the whole, to get food products
from producer to consumer.
Because of inefficient and wasteful
marketing methods, the consumer
pays too much and the producer gets
too little,
Another equally important point
that is as fully established Is that
the answer to this is cooperation
cooperation marketing anyway and
perhaps some time cooperative buy
ing in behalf Of the consumers also;
though hat is less certain and will
be slower in coming If 1t comes at all.
That's why people are studying
European marketing methods; for In
stance Denmark, a country much
smaller than Minnesota n with
much poorer soil that Is exporting
several times as much annually as
Minesota's total production, and that
is getting he advantage Of this good
business for it's producers by CO.
operative marketing methods.
But students Of this problem do not
need to go to Europe. Cooperation
is established, and Is successful, in
this country. For instance, ranges

if it were not for cooperation there
would be no citrus industry worth the

most adverse conditions as to distance
from markets, cost Of transportation,
time necessary to reach markets and
the like, the California people have
built up their huge enterprise simply
by reaso Of their elimination OF UNI

There Is not another industry in the
world that SO completely demonstrated
the efficacy of cooperation. The dairy
business Of Denmark is a standard ex-

the elimination of wasteful processes.
But Denmark's dairy enterprises could

Mothers With
Babes In Arms Weep
AS Husband Go to War

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 20-Some very
painful and deeply pathetic Genes
were witnessed at the C. P. R. depot
at 6 o'clock Tuesday night, when the
second big contingent of British re
servists left for the east.
Fully three-quarters Of these men
who have received an imperative order
to go to the front are married. and
the station platform was %thronged
with young wives and sisters and
mothers, most of them crying pitifullI.
Several Of the wives carried wee
babies, and it was heart breaking to
see their big bronzed fathers snuggle
them in their arms for a last time,
and reach up g. rough finger to wipe
away the mist that would gather
around the eyes, despite their efforts
to bear their loss bravely. Some Of
the women were so overcome that they
could not watch the train as it pulled
slowly out of the station.
Anxious for Loved Ones.
In some hastily interviews before
the departure of the contingent the
names of fully a dozen Winnipeg men
were taken, everyone Of them married,
and for the most part leaving small
families behind. The wife of Walter
G. Cole, of Fort Garry municipality,
was present to wish him a fearful
goodbye, with a babe in her arms
that was only a few months old, Will
liam Robinson, of 152 Inkster avenue,
was obliged to leave his wife and baby
boy just five months old. Mrs. David
Rainey, of $50 Langside street, whose
husband left with the others, said she
had a little girl not yet Z years OF
age and a boy not quite four. 1t
was practically the same story all
through the list, a story Of homes dis
organized and loved ones left to spend
many lonely and struggling months
before. the return of the bread winner
provided he does return.
Some good hearted young fellows in
order to console the weeping women
after the train had pulled u spoke
cheerfully n loudly.
They'll all be back" they said.
The remark was treated ~scornfully
by the grief stricken women. Some
of them looked up quickly and angrily
as though the words were a sacrilige.
In their depression they seemed to
feel that they had gazed on their deal
ones for the last time.
In the conversation h a occurred
one could hear statements Of homes
partly paid for, that would have to
be given up, and the uppermost
thought in the mind of all the married

CHILD LABOR DECREASES.

That child labor is decreasing in the
united States is proved by h report
,on occupations recently published by
1.-the bureau of the census.
This report shows that between 1900
and 1910 there was a decrease of 1884,
236 in the number Of children 10 to Is
years of age engaged in n~nn-agricul-
! turaI pursuits. OF this number 1855
! were boys and 51,570 girls. The ma
tional child labor committee consid-
ers the census figures very gratifying
as showing the results Of their
work.
I'VE have been sure for some time"
says Owen r. L~oyejoy, general secre-
tary, that there must have been a
decrease in the number OF children at
/ work, but until now we have never
had official figures to prove such a de-
ease Since our organization in 1904
J we have secured improved child labor
or compulsory education laws in every
state in the union"
There are still eight states, how
ever, in which the generally accept
ed 1~4-year-Old limit for work in manu-
kfacturing establishments is not recog-
Fnized, fourteen states that allow chill
dren under Is to work at night, and a
great number Of states that do not
hproperly regulate the employment of
kchildren in dangerous trades, street
Etrades, and various occupations out
side Of factories and stores.

can be done If Americans once set
ktheir minds to keeping their children

hcation and health"

ENIGMAs, TRUE ENOUGH.

St. Paul Dispatch: 1t has teen well
said in the telegraphic dispatches that
the military situation in Europe is an
enigma. That the policy OF the war
bureaus to shroud the movement of
troops in impenetrable mystery is
along the line Of military necessity
and therefore sound, from their view
point. is not doubted. But it is not
alone to the maneuvers of armed
forces that the enigma is confined.
Certain matters Of national policy are
obsCured and it would aid the under
be cleared up.
For example, the receipt In this
country Of newspapers from Vienna,
printed in the early stages of the
trouble, indicate that Austria did not
f~oresee the general conflagration
which would follow her demand upon
Servia. 1t is obvious, from the lead
ing editorials in The Neue Freie
PreSse Of Vienna. and the u~tterances
of Count Julius Andrassy, former cabi =
llSL munster anu lSduST OI OPINION
both of which may be taken to reflect
public n official opinion-that the
possibility Of England being drawn
into the conflict never was thought of.
BY both of these authorities the dec
laration of Sir Edward Grey was TAX
en- as expressing the firm determine
ton Of Great Britain to hold aloor
from all continental difficulties.
This is highly inconsistent with the
commonly accepted German challenge
that Great Britain planned and pre-
cipitated the general war, though how
Vienna could so have misinterpreted
the u~tterances Of the British foreign
secretary is incomprehensible.
Another inexplicable situation is
that in which Belgium is placed. 1t is
inconceivable that Germany, with it's
marvellous preparedness for every
contingency, had not complete knowl-
edge of the attitude that Belgium
would assume toward the passage Of
troops through its territory, or that
the belligerent aspect Of the little
kingdom came as a. surprise. Ger
many undoubtedly knew that French
drill masters were in charge of Bel
gian soldiery for years past.
1t Is the German contention that
France violated the neutrality pact by
flying aeroplanes over German and
Belgian territory before war was de-
clared, but an interview cabled this
morning from a Minneapolis physician
in London gives the statement of a
German officer that they had been
maneuvering in Belgian territory two
weeks before the war storm broke.
Each side insists that the other had
~endeavored to be beforehand in the
struggle which to both seemed immi-
nent and inevitable.
Ultimate history will deal with these
matters and clear up others which
now are hidden. but the desire of the
world for information of causes and
motives, as well as of daily occurrence
es, is actuated by something stronger
than and above mere curiosity.
