| flict means an exhaustion of men,
as we'll as of treasure. Men will
be needed over there as much. if
not more, than money. There can
be no competition between coun-
try of Americas great vigor and
infinite resources and countries
that have spent themselves"
America was destined to lead
the world commercially and fin
ancially in fifteen years. The
war simply fastened that mani
fest destiny. For an American
to fear the aftermath of the war
appears to me baseless."
The president of Armour & Co.
then proceeded to give reason for
his unsuitable optimism.
Not a War Prosperity
"Our is not a war presently, al
though to be sure, ammunition
orders are accelerating the pace
he said. 1T is fundamental in
that the products of the farm are
the basis of it. We are still large
ly an agricultural community,
and as agricultural prospers, the
whole country prospers.
Look at our crops and the
prices we are getting for them.
Both have no parallel i'm the coun-

in harvesting, but is now coming
abundantly to market The en-
ormous daily exports shw that

run Of hogs will be large.
Big Demand for Supplies
The demand for these necess-
aries is in proportion to their
supply. Europe is buying as she
has never bought beofre. md the
swelling bank deposits reflect the
heavy European payments as we'll

Take for example the National
City bank of New York" (of which
Mr.. Armour is directory "a year

institution We're 100000. To-

Bankers as a rule have been
hard put by these startling in
creases. Rates are low, but the
money will all be profitably en-
ployed. 1t is only a question
of time; and the employment of
so much money will mean just SO
much more prosperity.
"The south. which only few
months ago was in despair, is
now, to speak collequially, drunk
with prosperity. Planters are
finding no difficulty in marketing
their cotton at good prices. That
section Of the country is fortu-

in the lumber trade. Timber in

TOTEM GETS REHEARlNc
IN ELECTION CONTEST

Bowman, N. d., Nov. 1t-E. P
Iotten, whom the supreme court
recently declared had forfeited his
title to the office of county judge
of Bowman county because he
pledged to the people of the coun-
ty the return to- the county treas

elected has been successful i'm OBJ
tanning a rehearing before the
supreme court and arguments on
that new feature of the case will
be made the latter part of the
week.
Mr.. Totten. i'm his rehearing

the former county judge, VINO sue
cessfully maintained the suit a
gainst Totten was without right
to contest the position, and that
he is not legally a hold over Of
ficer and cannot now hold the po-

GRINDING GRAIN FOR
DAIRY CATTLE

In a test to determine the need
of grinding feed for dairy cattle
it was found that cows fed whole
corn passed % pdr cent of it
whole in the droppings, heifers
II per cent and calves 6 1-3 per
cent. When fed whole oats the
cows passed IL per cent, the hei-
fers S 1-2 per cent and the calves
3 per cent. When whole oats and
corn were fed together the cows
passed 26 i-2 per cent, the heifers
~ t-2 per cent and the calves
6 per cent which indicates that the
dairy cow needs her grain ground
but that calves waste very little
when fed whole grain, with beef
cattle grinding corn has not been
found to pay.

LlNDE TO CONTINUE HIS FIGHT
AGAINST RAILROAD CO.

Attorney Genral Linde evident
ly does not intend to give up his
fight against the railroad COM
panies, wherein he is trying to en-
join them from the Importation
of intoxicating liquors into the
state for illegal purposes. Ask
ed as to his opinion of Judge
Amidon's decision he said:
Linde's Statement
II am particularly surprised at
Judge Amidon's decision in the
liquor injunction cases because
the question is in fact a new and
novel one, yet l do not intend to
abond the INDUCTION theory until
the question has been passed up
on the United States supreme
court. However, these actions
have been of substantial value
because l am satisfied now that
the railroad companies fully
realize that the importation of in
toxiating liquor for illegal use
must be absolutely discontinued
Powerful Weapons Left
notwithstanding the decision
the state of course. has powerful
weapons to use in enforcing the
law prohibiting the importation
of liquor in that every carrier is
subject to criminal prosecution
and l shall insist on prosecution
being instituted against every case
where illegal deliveries are made
More Costly Now
SIN fact, the only different since
the juction has been dissolved

PROSPERITY HAS comErosrAy

J. Ogden Armour, Multimillion-
aire packer, belives that prosperi-
ty has come to stay in the United
States. In an interview printed
Mr.. Armour says our prosperity
is not war prosperity, but that
the products of the farm are the
basis of it. Mr.. Armour said:
America is rapidly rising to
an unprecedented prosperity. a
prosperity which would have been
Uncomfortable a year ago and
which be enduring. 1t will be
boom-like for. say, three years
and should not be affected by a
termination of the European war
within that time.
Gives His Reasons
''The idea that the cessation of
European hostilities must affect
us adversely is. believe academ-
ic.'' said Mr.. Armour. I'm the

countries no at war will not be

POLITICS AND POLICE. - Yes,
the police department of Chicago
stinks- Mayor Thompson was right
But the politics responsible for police
rottenness also stinks. In cities all
over the country there are detectives
and police officers who have profited
by crime. 1t seems that policemen
hired to protect the public find it
more profitable to protect criminals
and let the people go hang.
There are reform waves and moral
spasms in all communities, but they
soon spend their fury - some new
sensation shoves them off the first
page of the newspapers and things
go on pretty much as they did before
This is the age of big business and
big lawlessness. Where there is big
lawlessness there will be little law
lessness. Seeing the big fellows get
ting their easy money the little fell
lows try it out for themselves in a
little way.
Even policemen, sworn officers of
the law, see opportunity for easy
money and try to be business men
as well as policemen.
Yes, the police department stinks,
but so do the stockyards - and so
does business generally.

Christmas spirit is good thing dur
ing the Christmas season, why isn't
it good thing all the year around?
OF course, it's a good thing for all
of us to get closer to the Christianity
of Christ for a few days before His
birthday-and a little of it is better
than none at all. But wouldn't it be
fine if we could feel toward our
brothers all the year around the way
we try to make ourselves believe we
feel toward them during the brief
Christmas season?
You might try taking an inventory
of yourself about Jan. I and see how
you stack up in your own honest
opinion of yourself as MAN.
Ask yourself what you have done
during the year that has made the
world any better for your having
lived in it.
