OUR DUTY PLAIN.

The duty of the United States ia
plain in the unfortunate crisis that
Is embroiling all Europe. Neutrality
in all things is now and probably will
continue the watchword. Our money
should not 60 across the seas to help
finance or prolong the carnage.
II American banking houses extend
credit to France, they cannot deny a
German, English or Russian loan.
Loaning one nation only would be a
breach of neutrality, and to loan all
Unfortunately would lower our
sense Of duty in this great contro-
versy.
Inability to finance large war loans
will have q decided effect in shorten
ing the war and that is a consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished.
On the other hand, it is self-evi-
dent that the United States needs all
her cash reserves to finance her own
commerce and to move the crops
which are now ready to be put into
the various markets of the world.

GENUINE ANTIQUES.

London, Aug. 22.-For the benefit
of Americans and others who desire
to buy misunderstanding their visits to
London, the authorities Of the City
of London recently established a de-
partment at the Guildhall where pur-
chasers may ascertain whether they
have bought genuine or sham articles
A case Of sham antiques has been
collected and the intending purchaser
after a visit to it should be able to
Judge whether articles offered to him
are real o. otherwise, while those
who buy before visiting the Guild
hall can soon learn whether their OBJ
jects of art are worth the money
they have paid for them.
Articles in lead and brass appear
to occupy the special attention Of
the antique faker, who is today some
thing more than a highly skilled

ALFALFAlN SOUTH AFRICA.

4 London, Aug. 22.-Great Britain
will soon have a new source Of meat
supply in South Africa, in addition to
that from the United States, Canada,
Argentine and Australia. 1t will come
through the South African Union, an
organization having the backing OF the
farmers of that part Of the empire.
The country is able to raise from five
to eight crops Of alfalfa per annum,
and the area can be enormously in
creased by irrigation. Blooded stock
has been imported, and a party OF
farmers are now visiting England for
the study of stock raising and, in par
%ticular, the handling of frozen meat.
The first of the new meat will he
shipped to England next February.
Whether the supply will do more than
merely to meet the growing British
demand is problematical. At any rate,
it is not expected to influence the
market price of meat to any extent
for some years.

INCOME TAX IN GERMANY.

Berlin, Aug. 22.-The small Prus.
sian city of Gorzno has lost the dis
'tinction Of levying the heaviest tax
OF any city in the kingdom, which it
possessed since 1911 until last year.
The citizens there who earned 800 a
month paid $15.75 monthly as an in
come tax alone, not including church,
real estate and business taxes. The
city, Of Stuhm now has, according to
the reports for 1914, the highest taxes
of any Prussian city. These amount
here to only III per cent of the 500
a month mans earnings. The rate
of taxation increases progressively,
SO that the man with $4,000 yearly
pays $276.19, a little more than 10
per cent, and a man who has an in
come of $4,000 yearly is taxed $613.2O
nearly fifteen per cent. Twenty
West Prussian cities impose a mu-
nicipal income tax of at least 800 per
cent. of the state tax. The highest
municipal tax of the Greater Berlin
municipalities is 10 per cent, and
some of them get along with 100 per
cent.

CORN THE SAFEST r o

This year has demonstrated be-
yond a reasonable doubt that corn is
not only a safe crop but a profitable
one. Corn this year spells financial
salvation for more than one North
Dakota farmer.
The perfection of the corn crop is
a prelude to diversified and intensi-
fed farming. This state Is gravitat-
ing slowly toward both. A year like
this, when on all sides the beautiful
stand Of grain seemed to spell a bum
per crop, has its lessons, which in
the long run means real progress. 1t
is the corn crop that has come to the
rescue in many parts of the state.
Although the Slope country is for
tunate in yields of all forms of crop,
this year is demonstrating more po-
tently than ever what can be done
with corn. ~
The next important question is the
selection of seed. Thomas Cooper,
director of the North dakota Agricul-
tural station, is taking special pre-
cautions this fall for the curing of
seed corn. A great deal OF attention
will be given by the department dur
ing the first part Of September to
seed corn Last year, through the
efforts Of the field agents, 25,ooo bush
els Of seed corn we're selected and
cured in the state. 1t is hoped this
year to double the AMOUNT. j
Good corn should be selected early
and with special care Through the
various seed corn weeks and other
agencies Of publicity, the farmers
have been awakened to the necessity
in, this line.
The success of the corn crop in this
state depends upon the selection OF
early varieties and varieties adapted
to local conditions

a COST OF STRIKES.

London, Aug. 22.-The last general,
strike of coal miners cost the trades
unions of the men engaged in that
industry just $4,000, 900, and notwith-
standing an increase of 100000 in
membership Of all trades unions, the
grand total of union funds at the be-
ginning Of this year was over a mil
lion dollars less than before that
strike. In 1912 the last year for
which g. report has been made, there
were $50 trades unions in the country
with a membership of 2,597,772, and
funds amounting to nearly $80,000,-
900. The income of the unions alone
amounted to nearly $20,0oO,000 and
they expended s3,oOo,Ooo in unen-
ployed benefits; So, 100000 in strike
pay; $4,000, 900 in sickness and acct
dent benefit, $2OO,OOOkin funeral bene-a

WHAT OF THE BRITISH,

WHAT OF THE BRITISH,
Everyone desires to know some
thing relative to the position and the
numbers Of the British in France and
Belgium, but the movements of the
English. troops seem to be carefully
gusrded by the news censors.
All the information that has siftet
in is to the effect that 100000 British
troops landed in, France. 1t would
seem that the presence Of the British
in large numbers both in Belgium and
France is an inevitable sequence of
events.
Their ~embarkment took place at
Calais, Dunkirk and Ostend. several
days ago. News Of their showing in
this world war is awaited impatiently.

PETER THE GREATS WILL.

PETER THE GREATS WILL.
Although there is a question as its
authenticity, the Copy of the Plan of
European Domination" left by Peter
The Great and known historically as
Peter The Greats Will, is interesting
in the present crisis. Clauses 9, 10
and II follow:
Clause 9.-Russia must necessarily
extend herself toward the north,
along the Baltic Sea. Our kingdom
must advance as far as possible to-
ward Constantinople and the East In
dies. Whoever shall reign there will
be the true master Of the world.
Therefore, we must excite continual
wars, sometimes with Turkey, some
times with Persia; create dockyards
on the Black Sea; take possession,
little by little, of that sea, as we'll as
of the Baltic, which is a point doubly
necessary for the success of the pro-
3ect; We must hasten the downfall Of
Persia; penetrate as far as the Per-
sian Gulf; %re-establish If possible,
the ancient commerce of the Levant,
through Syria; and advance as far as
the Indies, which is tho emporium of
the world. When once there we a
do without the gold of England. .
Clause 10.-Russia must carefully
seek and keep UP the alliance with
Austria; apparently second her de-
sign for future domination over Ger
many; and we must excite underhand
against her q jealousy of the Princes.
We must excite each and all of these
to seek succor from Russia, and ex-
ercise a sort of protection over the
country. which may prepare our fu-
ture domination.
Clause live must interest the
House Of Austria in the expulsion of
the Turk from Europe, and neutralize
her jealousy after the conquest If

war between her and the old States

In describing this witty play, Allan

your tango engagements and go. You

ty' and Meg will keep your good
