THE END Of
THE WAR WILL
i. SEE OUR TRIAL

! The most serious problems to con
front the United States will come af-
ter the conclusion Of European peace.
Though often brought to the point of
embodiment in the present struggle,
the fixed determination of the Ameri-
can people to keep out has averted
that calamity.
But as Congressman Mann points
out:
while we are adopting can and
measures for our trade and industrial
development, let us also, in view of
the conditions in foreign lands, put
our house in order to defend and pro-
tect ourselves against any foreign ma
ton or nations. Our wealth will soon
excite the envy, if not the cupidity of
the outside world"
TIE wal is costing Europe $50, ,000,-
600 a day. 1t has cost the nations in
volved not less than seventeen billions
for its first year, according to a group
of Europe's most eminent statistic
ians. The property loss incurred ex-
ceeds fifty billions.
The war is now being, and for some
time has been, fought on credit. The
interest on the bonds like those now
being placed in the United States
must be met by the producing indus
tries of the indebted nations. The
property destroyed must be replaced.
Industry will stagger under the load
thus piled upon it.
New markets will be sought. What
are more attractive than hat of the
United States? But how can Eur
opean industry, crippled with interest
charges and debt, compete with u
free labor? The contest will be un-
equal, and teh study of every Euro
pean government will be to equalize
it. One way, the obvious way, to at
tain equality will be to force US into
a war which will burden our people
with taxes as those of England,
France and Germany will be burdened.
A short, sharp war would leave our
country defeated in the field, still f.
nancially strong enough to pay a war
indemnity that would put the con
queror on it's feet again.
This is no vain imagining. 1t is the
obvious course for the nations now at
war-any of them-to pursue. But
if our people awake to the necessity
to complete preparedness such a Sc
quel to Europe's wal may be averted.

What Is a Placer?

A placer is an unconsolidated deposit
accumulated by mechanical processes,
carrying one or more minerals in COM
mercial quantities. All placers are
secondary dcposits-that is, the mate
rial of which they are composed was
originally derived by erosion of bed
rock. Although it is undoubtedly true
that under certain conditions nuggets
Of placer gold have been enlarged
through chemical precipitation, yet this
action is a negligible quantity in plac-
ers. Placers may be derived solely by
rock w%eathering without water sort
ing, but more commonly are the result
of water transportation, sorting and
deposition. Many Of the richest plac-
ers are those formed by the erosion
of older placers and the reconcentra-
ton Of their gold.

For the Ultra Precise.

Professor Thomas r. Lounsbury said
at Cambridge in a talk on English:
But precision can be carried too far
The ultra precise, even when logically
right, are really wrong.
IAN ultra precise professor went into
a hardware shop and said:
"'Show me IL shears, please
"'1ou mean a pair Of shears, don't
you! said the dealer.
"No,' said the professor. L mean
what l say. l mean a shears
THE dealer took down Il box of
shears.
"Look here. professor he said.
Aren't there two blades here? And
don't two make a pair?'
"'Well, you've got two legs. Does
that make YOU Il pair of men?' And
the professor smiled at the dealer tri.
umphantly through his spectacles.
He was logically right, but, really,
he was wrong.'-Philadelphia Bulletin.

At THEDUN|QUE

Mrs. O'Brien, newly rich, vainly as
pires to social prominence, an ambition
in which her common, ch~ess-loving
husband does not sympathize. Pretty
Mary Ellen, the daughter, and u JAP
butler constitute the household.
One day, Mrs. O'Brien sends out in
vitations to a party which the Van
Dusens and Van Astorbilt's refuse to
attend. While she is mourning this
loss, an automobile breaks down in
front of the hause, and a slender
young mar who introduces himself as
Lord Algernon Ste Clair seeks refuge,
while the car awaits 4 repairman.
Mrs. O'Brien seeming u noble match
promptly invites him to stay for the
party.
Meanwhile a tough looking char
acter alights from an automobile, and

rejoins his friends and disappears. An
hour later, immediately groomed, he
enters the club Of which O'Bricn is a
member, and finding the solitary old
freshman playing a lonesome game of
chess, offers himself for partner. In
this way he obtains an invitation to
attend Mary Ellen's party.
In due time the guests arrive, con
sisting of the good-hearted but litter
ate Flannagans, their two children
and the stranger. There Immediately
mmence a vigorous suit for the
hand of pretty Mary Ellen on the part
Of Lord Algy and the stranger. Mary
Ellen shows preference for the stran-
ger.
That night weird things happen.
The stranger who has been invited to
spend the night, slips into the library
in time to see O'Brien much excited

that has deity poked through the por-
tiers in search Of the electric switch.
In another instant the stranger throws

is a scuffle and the stranger disap-
pears, gun in hand, through the
French window. An hour later Lord
Algy, in his room, cautiously draws a
string Of pearls from his pocket, only
to turn and face the gun of the stran-
ger, who raises his head from back OF
Lord Algy's bed.
There follows explanations and the
stranger shows his badge as a govern
ment secret service agent, long in the
search of the crook known as Lord
Algy. O'Brien rejoices and Mary Ell
len slips her hand into that Of the
"stranger's" while Mrs. O'Erien,
thoroughly disguised, hurls a volume
Of "Who's Who in Society" into the

THIS MAY INTEREST YOU

The First National Bank of Devils Lake has
a large amount of money to loan on grain in
granaries or in elevators. 1t has loaned money
to the people of this vicinity for years at 8 per
cent, and will continue to do so.
If wheat is stored in an elevator according to
the Federal Reserve Bank requirements, it will
cost a man $3.50 if he borrows $1,000. 90 for
ninety days at E per cent as follows:
1utCleol P1C.OO
Elevator charges :. $3.50: On 1900 bushels
$3.50
A loan of $1,000 on 1900 bushels of wheat
would be at the rate of 66} cents a bushel, which
is a liberal loan.
A loan of $1,000. 90 from The First National
Bank of Devils Lake for ninety days at s per
cent on wheat in the farmers granary would
cost him $1,000, or $3.50 less than it would cost
at 6 per cent if borrowed on money obtained
from the Federal Reserve Bank on wheat stored
in an elevator.
To borrow money that comes from the
Federal Reserve Bank will cost a man $3.50 for
$1,000 for go days at 6 per cent, which, added to
elevator charges, makes rate u per cent as grain
must be stored in an elevator if he makes the
loan.
To borrow money from this bank will cost
a man $1,000 for 100000 for 80 days at 8 per
cent as we do not require grain to be stored in
an elevator.
