Fruit is much cheaper than meat,
and yet people cannot be made to see
it. Take a bushel of pears for dol
lar, and when laid away for month,
what enjoyment for a family, afford
ing dozens Of desserts. For dollar,
scarcely four meals Of steak or chops.
And yet SO many spend their last cent
for tough COW, as though their lives
depended on chewing fiber. If you
have children, buy pears and apples,
cheat the doctor.

The problem of how to deal with
the young is one that all wise parents
and every friend of youth study care
fully. The chief of the Milwaukee po-
lice department says, "Take care of
the boys, the girls will take care of
themselves" The opinion of such a
man deserves consideration, and it is
very likely that he has pretty nearly
hit the nail on the head, but all the
same the wise parent will not overlook
his daughter. Nor will he forget that
in almost every place, especially in the
cities there are always men and wo-
men to be found whose sole business
is to procure the downfall of boys and
girls. These wretches have to be
guarded against by the utmost vigil
lance or they will play havoc with fam
lilies.

Americans hereafter will be salts
fed with spending their summers in
their own country instead of using
Europe for playground. When the
war broke, countless thousands of Am
orleans were abroad. They found that
instead of being wanted in the far-off
land, their money was no longer APP
preciated and they were never as hap
ny in their life as when they again set
foot on their native land. Perhaps
Americans will learn that there is ac-
tually something to see west of the AL
leghanies. Glacier Park, Mont, can
compare favorably with anything that
can be seen in Switzerland. Better
a hundred times spend the summer
along the beautiful lakes of Minnesota
or the prairies of North Dakota than
suffer the Inconvenience of those
quaint German villages. The tomb of
Napoleon may prove inspiring =
peace be to his ashes-but one can
have livelier time at Niagara. See
America first.

a lucky first year for me and Bertha
has been camping on my trail for
week to buy her a dress with a drape
in it the way mother used to tie back
the curtains. Bertha says it is a
dream and she's right-as far as she
goes-but nightmare" is the name
of the dream.
Bertha is funny-all women are
she has more judgment in some mat
tiers than a whole jury Of Solomons.
She can see so far ahead in business
matters that it would take seven dol
lars to send postal card where she
is looking. She made me buy barn
and Silo that are paying me big.
She makes me get a bunch Of hogs
and she knows as much about grains,
crop rotation, ETC., as the high-brows
who wrote the books.
And after all that, to wear crime
like that dress! She's the limit.
Before very long l must get a Ma
chine Shed and I'm going in today to
see Mr.. Johnson at the Rogers Lum-
Der Company about it.
Bertha has it figured out that save
$4,000 a year on depreciation of my
machinery if l build a shed. Love
to all. Your Son,

Once more the season of frequent
colds has come.
Everybody ought to know how to
avoid colds but the number who bark
and shuttle proves that the simplest
precautions either aren't understood
or else aren't practiced.
Fallacy one about cold is that it
should be kept heated. Fresh air,
fresh air and still more FRESH AIR
is the best preventative of colds. It's
the sharp contrast between the stuffy
air of overheated rooms, with their
billions of flying dust specs and bac-
terra, and the cold outdoors that
chiefly breed colds. You may get a
cold while breathing fresh air but it
won't be the fresh air that causes it..
Did you ever see hunter, woodsman
or primitive Indian with a cold?
Fallacy two is that you should
'tfeed," that is, gorge cold. Of
course, you must eat. But don't over
eat. And be doubly careful that the
bodily excretions aren't interrupted.
If you must eat more than usual put
the emphasis on fruits.
Drink copiously and freely of pure
water is a good medicine for a cold
much better than whiskey.
But the best care is to be careful
with exercise, eating and ventilation
that cold won't have anything to do
with you.
Walk more, open the windows more,
drink more water and avoid dope.
just try this prescription the next few
weeks and let us know how you'like it.

Olaf Lokensgard, chairman Of the
board Of county commissioners, sug-
gests a plan that appears to the In
dependent to be a good one and we
are not sure, but think that Mr.. Lok-
ensgard voices the sentiments Of the
other members Of the board. His plan
is to set aside certain amount q
money to furnish thorobred sires fol

sHERMAN's DEFINITION or WAR

lSEEhMAN'S UEtlNIIlON OF WAN
Gen. Sherman's definition Of war is
often quoted, but few are familiar
with the utterance which led up to the
famous summary of war. Here is what
he said: II confess, without shame,
that am tired and sick of war. It's
glory is all moonshine. Even success,
the most brilliant is over dead and
mangled bodies, the languish and la
mentations of distant families appeal
ing to me for missing sons, husbands
and fathers. It is only those who
have not heard shot nor heard the
shrieks and groans of the wounded and
lacerated that cry aloud for more
blood, more vengeance, more desola-
ton. War is hell"

Two smooth real estate men from
Calgary visited Minot recently, en-
deavoring to sell lots within six
blocks of the depot" in some Canad-
lar town. They offered the lots at
just half the price, but found few buy
ers here, if any. People of this city
who have money to invest would
rather place it where they are sure
of good returns. Long ago we grew
tired of buying stock in gas wells
worthless gold mines and apple or
chards. Many have made money in
Canada and we are glad of it, but
thousands have been left "holding the
bag" and they would like to interest
Americans with money to assist them
in letting loose. No thank you, we
will spend our money for good North
Dakota dirt, the best investment that
can possibly be offered. North Dako.

The present war has caused prohi-
bition to be inaugurated in Europe.
In France the sale Of absinthe is pro-
hibited, in Germany the drinking places
are closed and in Russia the sale of
vodka, the Intoxicating drink of the
peasants, is prohibited. The cause
given for these precautions is that the
people need to keep their heads in time

with their armament they might have

Sunday, Oct. 4th, has been set aside
as a day to pray for peace. The
chances are that the Germans in the
U. S. will slip it over the president and
pray that Germany may wallop the
Allies, and those in sympathy with the
allies will pray for the humiliation Of
the Germans. If we do not get results
on this prayer day it will not be Gods
fault.
The above from the Plaza Pioneer
is a sample Of "Froggie" Smiths bril-
liant editorials. It is an insult not on
" to every peace-loving German in
this country but to those who formerly
resided in the countries represented
by the allies. While true Americans,
regardless Of blood, were praying Sun
day for the terrible war to end, Smith
and other men Of his ilk were no doubt
making fun Of them in this manner.
For shame!
