PUTTING AN END TO ou1BB LING

President Wilson's final note to
Germany is brilliant and forcible
statement of the facts of the contro-
versy. 1t rises above the plane of
quibbling. 1t interprets internation-
al law governing the disputed points
and applies that law to the case in q
way that must impress all the world
of the bigmindedness of the American
attitude. The president has cleverly
used Germany's own arguments to
prove his case and, in the judgment
of this newspaper, there can be no
further misconception of the position
of America. All that America asks
is that she be permitted to 60 on
about her business unmolested, and
she asks it of Germany the same as
of any other nation.
The note sounds honest. 1t does
not hedge. II has the ring of docu-
ment that springs from conviction.
Its diction ls wonderfully crisp and
free from useless decoration. If there
is any doubt in America about the
righteousness Of the attitude Of the
president, it ought to be dispeIled BY
. Gasoknb 1aAdi1e 81 this message.

WEALTH IN DAIRY COWS

Huron Huronite: A representative
of a stock yards company has just
completed his annual tour of South
Dakota. After Investigating condi-
tions he says the prospects for busy
live stock season we're never better
than now.
Everything is growing that soil and
water can make grow and it is upon
that growth that he bases his conclu-
sions relative to the output of live
stock for the market he represents.
Native grass is abundant and alfal-
ia and corn are growing in profusion
and food for stock is nowhere cur
tailed. The present season is unusual
everywhere in the west. 1t has de-
| veloped all crops to the highest point
of excellence.
This observer finally turns his at
tentions to the dairy COW, the steady
wealth producer for the region be-
tween the Missouri river and the
Black Hills, saying:
And q paramount factor in the
matter of raising the mortgage on
South Dakota land and putting the
country between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills back on it's feet,
will ge the dairy cow and the cream
cry business. You have little con-
ception of the strides which the
! creamery business is making and you
have little idea of the, enthusiasm
which prevails among eastern men
who have loaned money on live stock,
| in this part of the state"
The region west Of the Missouri
river was once one of the great cattle
producing ranges of the country.
Cattle ran wild, or nearly SO, and ct
the annual roundups were accounted
for and the marketable ones trans
ported to the packing houses. The
plains afforded grazing for winter and
summer
The homestead law destroyed the
ranges and the country went back to
a productive condition for num-
Der or years. But the COW Is reclaim
ing it.
The conditions that produced meat
are just as good for the production
of cream and year by year the dairy
herds are increasing and are growing
more and more profitable to their
owners.
Every train that comes east is cream
laden and il will not be long before
special and regular cream trains will
be run. The region west of the M is-
souri, ls destined to occupy an i'm
portant industrial position in the
west. Summer and winter alike, its
products will go forward to the con-
sumner, bringing quick and endless
money returns.

come. The valiant Russian front wears
thin. the French and British offensive
in the west has pierced, but not rup-

Through our long delays the enemy has
seized new initiative in the near east
