give Minot without exception the most
beautiful park system in North Da-
kota.
Riverside park, located in the east
ern end of the city, is the most popular
spot in Minot these warm summer
days. The mile drive thru the woods
has been covered with crushed stone
which WILL soon be packed as solid as a
pavement. A large shelter house will
soon be constructed in the park at a
cost of $500. This will have large
veranda about it with comfortable
seats. The roof of the building will
serve as band stand, at one side of
which will be constructed huge
sounding board. Minot's new 25-piece
band will give free concerts in the
park twice week during the summer,
for a period of twelve weeks.
A refreshment stand will be main
tanned at the shelter house and meals
served.
The new superintendent has already
begun identifying the already pretty
spots. A number of the black and
gray squirrels have been procured for
both parks and signs posted warning
all visitors to tie their "houn' dawgs"
on the outside.
The parks will be the source of a
great deal of pleasure during the sum-
mer months and our friends from the
country and the surrounding towns
will find welcome there at any time.

It appears that Germany hasn't
shown a great deal of respect for the
United States, and apparently has not
concerned herself to any great extent
whether this nation became involved
in the conflict or not. Germany first be-
came angered at this country because
we insisted on selling ammunition and
arms to the Allies. Of course, under
the rules of modern warfare, this was
allowable, but Germany considers that
morally this was not right, because
without these arms, the war might end
sooner. The United States has been
perfectly willing to sell the same
things to Germany, but it is impossible
to ship them to that country. The at
tack by German aeroplanes on the
Cushing, flying the stars and stripes,
and the blowing up of the Gulflight,
an American vessel, furnishes US more
reason for becoming involved in trou-
BILE with Germany, than even the Lusi-
tania incident. The United States will
insist on settlement, but in the
meantime, it appears that no Ameri-
can vessel in European waters is safe
from attack. The Germans consider
America mercenary nation and the
Anti-American press hints that even
tho Americans were killed on the Lu-
sitania, this country will be glad to
settle the matter for money consld-

POISONING DEMONSTRATIONS

Arrangements have just been made
whereby the United States govern
ment man will remain in Ward county
and demonstrate the preparation of
gopher poison. 1t is planned to give
one free demonstration for the prepar-
alton of this gopher poison in each
township.
Plans for organizing the gopher ex-
termination work are being made so as
to poison the gophers on unoccupied
and nonresident land while resident
land owners are expected to poison the
gophers on their own land. Demon
STATIONS have been made in some
eight townships. The poison as pre-
pared by the government is not only
effective in every instance, but is very
cheap. It also has many advantages
over other poison, in that it will keep
Indefinitely and is eaten by the go
piers thruout the whole gopher sea-
son. Ordinarily rains and dews do not
affect it.
This organized campaign by the
County Agent assisted by the United
States government, means the saving
of hundreds of dollars to the farmers
of Ward county.
Townships through their Board of
Supervisors desiring free demonstra-
ton in the preparation of this gopher
poison should write to the County Ag-
ricultural Agent, w. A. Peck, and ar
range date for such demonstration.

The Independent is in receipt of a
somewhat childish letter from Tom
Hall, referring to some printing done
by the State Game Board and defend
ing the Knight Printing Company. To
say the least, the letter certainly was
without the dignity, supposed, at least,
to surround the Office of state official.
Now, Tom, we know all about that
printing. We said a couple of Fargo
job houses did the trick. We know
why the Attorney General was never
consulted by either you, Brewer or
Jorgenson. We know that this print
ing, and also all the rest of it, includ-
ing the hunting licenses, were all
printed months before they were need
ed. Before the snow went off the
ground. We know why the haste, and
so do a whole lot of the other men,
bers of the "Press Gang" Take care
of your pals, Tom and Charlie, before
the country printer dub wakes up, and
then you can say how sorry you were
and express your vain regrets profuse-
ly. Then when he is gone, go into
your inner sanctum, and laugh at the
country dub, whom you only remember
at election times. We might go far
Their and show up how you and another
state official conspired to keen lot
of printing away from the Devils Lake
Journal. Blamed if we don't begin to
believe that what Col. Bloom says
about you is pretty near true.

One of the most difficult tasks in a
newspaper office is getting the facts
relative to births, deaths and MARI
ages in the community. Many people
take it for granted that when person
dies, the editor is familiar with every
detail of the deceased and his activi-
ties, when as fact he knows absolute
ly nothing about him, but he has to get
his information from other sources
same as other persons would have to
do. It is the same with regard to
marriages or other more or less i'm
portant happenings in the community
In almost every case the editor has to
dig up the particulars or satisfy him.
self and other readers of his paper
with meager and inaccurate account
The editor of a country weekly has
something like a million and half
of things to think about in week and
the patrons can hardly overestimate
how much he appreciates any effort
they make in furnishing him with the
facts for news items.

Germany, in a note to the United
States, deplores the fact that lives
were lost on the Lusitania. Germany
declares she has given her submarines
strict orders not to modest neutral ves-
sells not carrying contraband of war
and any violation of the order will
meet with prompt payment Of dam
ages on the part of Germany. The
Kaiser further says Germany is will

The sinking of the Lusitania, by a
German submarine, resulting in the
loss of 1916 lives, nearly 200 being
Americans, is considered as one Of the
most deplorable acts in the history of
the nations. It was contrary to all the
rules of modern warfare. Germany
has laid down new law of the seas
and the question is, will the other ma
tons quietly acquiese? 1t will do this
nation absolutely no good to make
protest unless we are willing to back
our words up with deeds. We would
only be making ourselves the laughing
stock of all nations. The Germans ex-
cuse themselves on the ground that
the Lusitania was an English vessel,
flying the British flag, and carrying
half a million dollars worth of ammu-
milton. The German Embassy had
placed advertisements in the New
York papers giving warning of what
might be expected to happen. Ac-
cording to all previous rules of war
fare, neutral passengers on even an
enemy's merchant vessels were sup
posed to have certain rights, and they
have always been given an opportun-
ity to get out of danger before such
vessels were destroyed.
The Lusitania incident is the most
serious problem that has confronted
this nation since the beginning of the
war. President Wilson and his cabinet
are trying to remain calm. The people
are advised mot to rock the boat"
The United States is in no position to
go to war, even tho the incident war
ranted it. No good can come of quick
action on the part of this government
We should reserve our opinions for the
present and trust to the men we have
placed at the head of our nation.
In the meantime, the whole world
stands aghast at the wanton destruc-
ton of the lives of hundreds of inno-
cent people, many of whom were de-
fenseless women and children. Are
we again living in the barbaric ages?

The Chicago Tribune sent kilograms
to the governors Of all states asking
for an expression regarding the Lusi-
tania incident, stating that the pres
ident would put it up to the people
whether this country would rush into
the conflict or not. Governor Hanna
replied that the matter was up to the
Washington officials and that he had
no doubt but what it would be handled
in a wise manner.

Seeding in northwestern North Da-
kota is almost completed and the crops
are coming up nicely. We have had
little rain this spring, but the soil
was in very fair condition. We are
certain to get plenty of moisture, for
we are due to get an average of seven
teen inches of moisture during the sea-
son, so prepare for an abundance OF
moisture about the time it will do US
the most good. It takes no weather
prophet to figure this out. Farmers
are planting corn this week. This is
fairly early and will insure an abund-
ance Of nice mature corn by the end
Of the season. Some fields of oats,
barley and max remain to be seeded.

No one wants the United States to
become involved in war, and we con-
graduate President Wilson on being
able to avert trouble thus far. There
is no question, however, but what this
nation is very poorly prepared for any
trouble that might arise. The adage
that it takes two to make quarrel
may apply to men, but not necessarily
to nations. This country needs as many
submarines as we can possibly build
and her coast defenses should be
strengthened. 1t is just as we'll that
millions were saved on battleships,
which are not proving Of any great
value in the present conflict. None
of US want war and for that reason it
is up to US to become better prepared
to defend ourselves.

MOTHER BURIES BABY
AT SEA; CLUTCHING
BODY WHEN RESCUED

London, May 1O.-A pathetic story
is told of two English women who
were picked up by boat. One had
buried her baby at sea. The other
with an infant held tightly to her
breast. On being taken from the sea
she looked for moment into the
child's face and then said "Let me
bury my baby" She then placed the
body into the water.

In an address before an audience in
Philadelphia Monday, President Will
son sounded the keynote of what will
undoubtedly be this country's course
regarding the Lusitania incident. He
did not refer directly to the tragedy
but undoubtedly thought of it. He
said in part: "There is such thing
as being too proud to fight. There is
such thing as being so right that it
does not need to convince others by
force that it is right"

Leo Frank, the Atlanta, Ca, He
brew, convicted of numbering Mary
Phegan, the factory girl, has been SEN
fenced to die June %. Petitions sign
ed by millions have been sent to the
governor Of Georgia, asking that the
young man be reprieved. AS there
seems to be a serious doubt as to
whether Frank is guilty, it would be
a safe bet for the governor to spare
his life, and in the meantime, addi-
tional evidence may be brot to light.
To execute Frank at this time, would
be little short of crime.
