PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN
WHILE FIGHTING

The censorship in Europe since
the beginning of the present con-
fict is more rigid than ever be-
fore, yet Popular Mechanics Mag
azine in it's October number pub
fishes a sixteen-page "war Sec
tion' made up chiefly Of views
all of them intensely interesting
Aerial warfare, long predicted
by aviation fans,'' has become
an actuality, and a discussion Of
the aerial events which have
already taken place, is an i'm
portant feature. The article
states: ''In its first month this
greatest of all wars has demon
strated that the nations airy
nawes' are a factor Of warfare
to be seriously reckoned with.
It seems to have been proved
too, that no airship Or aeroplane
is safe against gun fire from the
ground at height of less than
one mile. One of the important
questions which the experiences
Of this war will also ultimately
answer is that Of the relative.
value Of the two general types OF
air craft; whether the lighter
than-air dirigible to which the
Germans have mainly pinned
their faith, or the heavier-than
air aeroplane, faster and less ex-
pensive, which is the mainstay OF
the French, English, and Russian
air navies, is superior in war. A
rather significant fact in this
connection is that in almost every
instance in which a Zeppelin is
known to have been used for Of
fensive work the dispatches have
later reported it's destruction. -
Every authentic story or pict-
ure from the war zone is obtain
ed at great risk, and doubtless
it would be- interesting to know
under what conditions some of
the views published in the Oct
ober Popular Mechanics Magazine
were photographed.

RUSO WAS SCENE OF
A FATAL TRAGEDY

Last Sunday afternoon while
taking his gun from an auto in
which he had gone hunting with
Eve friends Emil Miller OF
Velva was shot and almost in
stant!y killed by the accidental
discharge Of his gun. The acci-
dent occurred on the sidewalk
crossing of the main street of
Ruso and was due to the trigger
catching on the auto door, tax
ing effect just above the heart:
After being shot he cried: :.
am hurt and fell. He died 20
minutes after.
Mr. Miller, but recently came
to Velva and is a brother Of
Grant Miller who lives south
west Of here. His remains were
taken back to Velva.-Ruso Re-
cord.

the attention Of the township
officers of the county and the
road overseers that the time is
not far distant when SNOW can
be- expected and that the weeds
and grass should be cut from
the roadsides if we, are to have
fairly good roads during the com.
ing winter. This is matter
which should not be neglected
any place in the state, as roads
in the winter time are the most
material, more so than during
summer. Many townships have
already attended to this matter
and such townships arc entitled
to- credit for the good and prompt
work they have done in the SER
vice Of all who travel our roads
during the winter season.

Girl. IN PARIS WRITES OF
WAR TO PARENTS

Paris, Sept. 2-In case the Ger
mans get close enough to Paris
to lombard it, which we think
is impossible at the present time,
l of course will leave then, and
will have ample time to do it
in, as we can tell by the ad-
vance they make, which is very
slow now. They are today fight
ing about seventy-five miles from
here and, we expect to hear the
guns in a couple of days.
Does it seem possible that the
world in the twentieth century
would see thing so savage and
barbarious as this is?
For the las three days we
have had visits from the German
aeroplanes dropping bombs on
Paris. Luckily, no damage was
done, each time having aimed
at the hospitals or railroad sta
tions and the big banks. They
also dropped bags of sand with
a message: "The Germans are
at the gates of Paris; You had
better surrender OF course
the Parisians received this mes
sage with a laugh and shrug
Of the shoulders, as much as to
say, ''let them come, we are
ready"
In the forts surrounding Paris
there are 25O,O0O soldiers.
Each day now brings in trains
after train cf wounded. ahd ref
ugees from Belgium and the
north of France.
Sunday 300 trains went out Of
here with troops for the 'front.'
iers; the coaches were all cover
ed with flowers and flags and
written on them with chalk such
things ais, "Pleasure train to
Berlin" "The kaiser's birth
day party William we would
like to meet you.' You look at
the men all smiles, cheer them,
then turn and think how few
will come back; for the losses
are terrible for all countries con-
cerned.
One thing is very nice here and
that is the government sending
word to the families if anything
happens to your relatives at the
front, if they are killed, wound
ed, sick or taken prisoners you
are informed at once. Each sold
i.r wears medal around his
neck with a number on it and
it is by these they are known.

War And Peace
By Great Writer
Walt Mason in Judge Gives the
Following That Compares
War With Peace

The bugles sound: the pranc-
ing charges neigh, and daunt-
less men have journeyed forth
to slay. Mild farmer lads will
wade around in gore and shoot
up gents they never saw before.
Pale dry goods clerks, amid
wars wild alarms, pursue the
foe and hew off legs and arms.
The long-haired bards forget
their metred sins and walk
through carnage clear up to their
chins.
My country calls'' the loyal
grocer cries then stops bullet,
with his form and dies. 'Tis
glory beckons!'' cry the ardent
clerks; a bursting shell then hits
chem in the works And dark
winged vultures float along the
air, and dead are piled like cord
wood everywhere. A regiment
goes forth with banners gay; a
mine explodes, and il is blown
away. There is shower OF
patriotic blood; some bones are
swimming in the crimson mud.
Strong, brave young men, who
might be shucking corn, thus
uselessly are mangled, rent and
torn. They call it glory when
fellow falls, his midriff split
by whizzing cannon balls; but
there s more glory in a field Of
hay, where brave men work for
Is bits a day.
The bugles blow, the soldiers
ride away, to gather glory in
the mighty fray; their heads
thrown back, their martial shoul-
ders squared-what sight with
this can ever be compared? And
they have dreams Of honors to
be won, of wreaths of laurel
when the war is done. The wo-
men watch the soldiers ride
away, and to their homes repair
to weep and pray. y
No bugles sound when back
the soldiers come; there is no
marching to the beat Of drum.
There are no charges, speckled
with their foam; but one by one
the soldiers strapple home. With
empty sleeves. with wooden
legs they dr;' along the high
way, up the village hill. Their
heads are gray, but not with
wei ght of years. and all the sor-
row of all worlds and spheres is
in their eyes; fer they have
walked with Doom, have seem
their country changed into a
tomb. And one comes back
where 20 went away, and 10
widows kneel alone and pray.
They call it glory oh, let glory
cease and give the world once
more the boon of peace! I'D
rather watch the farmer go afield
than see the soldier buckle on
his shield! I'd rather hear the
reaper's racuous rear than hear
a colonel clamoring for gore!
I'd rather watch a hired man
milk COW, and hear him cuss-
ing when she kicks his brow,
than see major grind his snick-
ersnee to split a skull and
and make his country free! Ia
rather watch the grocer sell his
cheese, his boreless prunes and
early winter peas, and feed the
people at modest price, than
see a captain whack an ample
slice. with sword or claymore,
from warlike fce-for peace is
veal, and war is merely woe.

THIS STATE AHEAD OF
ILLINOIS IN CORN RAISING

Joe Haney, who lives down in
Illinois, where they raise twenty
five bushels Of corn Or thirty
bushels Of oats on an acre of
land costing from $15O to $3.50
an acre-and figure they are
lucky at that, was an arrival
last week to lock after the thresE
ing Of his crcr. He owns a
half section down on the county
line, just west Of the Northern
Pacific tracks. He finished
threshing this week and receiv-
ed AN average Of nearly twenty
bushels of $1.1O wheat from ever
acre he had in. Right near his
place a neighbor has a field of
corn that will return fifty BUSH
els to the acre-and never turn
"a hair. Mr.. Haney says that the
high priced Illinois land looks
like thirty cents in comparison
to his $50 an acre land in Eddy
county. He reports that every
thing is dried up in his state
this year and they will be lucky
to get fifteen bushels Of poor
quality corn to the acre. "Joe''
says they can't run fast enough
to slip any more Illinois land
over him.-New Rockford Tran
script.

A woman on the Fort Berthold

The Woman's journal makes
the following comment. "Con-
gress will shortly take up the
question of giving filipines in
creased rights Of self-goMern--
ment. So far Congress has not
seen fit to take up the question
Of giving the women Of the

OHIO'S GOVERNOR
TO KEEP HANDS OFF
w the Organization Of the General
Assembiy-Howard. Of Barnes
Vile Likely TO Be Presi-

Senate.

COLUMBUS. o. Dec. $50 far
Governor-elect Willis has not d.
vulged any OF his selections for offic-
rs within his gift. As Congressman
he will serve in that body until his
Inauguration as Governor. January
IL Mr.. Willis has determined 10
preserve his announced neutrality as
TO the organization OF the General As
Bembly. Urgent pleadings have failed
to shake him. as he has adopted a
policy OF hands OF. In despair. Re
publican State Chairman Edwin
jones has practically surrendered
the contest to put tried friends of Mr..
Willis in the leadership OF the two
branches OF the General Assembly.
II is becoming evident that the
plan OF non-interference has been ac-
cepted at face value and since the
Governor-elect will not organize the
two houses. others will do IL for him.
In charge OF those assembling the
Legislative machinery is foremost the
late Republican chieftain. Harry NJ.
Daugherty. He has grasped the sit
'uauon In a frm ann and the de-
~velopments indicate his plans are

TEN. OF the Senate. this post carry
dng official leadership.
Although the rucleus of an organf-
cation is forming to measure strength
with h Daugherty cohorts. efforts
thus far have lacked the driving
force that portends success. While
the selections mad are not hostile to
Governor Willis they lack the warm
d~riendiiness OF the men that would
have been chosen by Chairman Jones.
IN alignment of committees, the con-
troll Of the Speaker is absolute and
much may be done or not done to
rhwart the program OF the Governor
At present Charles ID. Conover OF

lead the Jones faction against Jack

lawmakers are only waiting a call TO
challenge both. Those who have

made evident when Representative

he withdraw from the Speakershfp
