NATIONAL SOLIDARlTlES.
(Kansas City Star.)

The United States need have no more fear that the great mass of Its people will not stand together In the case of national emergency than the European nations had cause to fear disanection among their people, Before the En- ropean war there was no more solidar- ity in France, England and Germany than here.
 Certainly there was no more in Great Britain, where peace societies, Keir Hardies. militant suffragets, the Irish row and labor troubles make, by com parison, American dissensions or diff ferences of opinion mild indeed.
 In France, Gustave Nerve, Anarchist or Syndicalist, and Jean Jauroes, of one of the patterns of socialism, were rep resentative of millions of Frenchmen who regarded as monstrous the action they are now taking part in with all fervor.
 Right after war was declared there came out of Germany the false story that 100 socialist deputies in the reich stag had been shot by military com mand. As a fact, those deputies and the more than 4,OO0,O00 workingmen and small tradesmen they stood for were heart and soul with practically all other Germans for the var. Yet the

untrue rumor reflected the divergent views that had prevailed in Germany until actual war melted all diyergen- ,.es away.
 And that melting away of differences IS what war or any great national crisis does.
 We of the United States have no need to magnify the influence of per sons who might seek to obstruct the way of the nation to it's manifest des- tiny. When that destiny becomes un- manifest in the sharp light of facts, the voices of those who ob- struot will die away or become as the cracking of thorns under a pot.

WHEAT WAS S1.5o PER BUSHEL

Wheat made another high record
price on Monday of this week, when
the top price on the local market
reached $50 bushel. The price
has been steadily advancing since
Thursday and the much talked of
81. SO wheat finally became reality
on Monday. Two or three loads were
hauled in by farmers near town, who
got the top price in years on bal
ance of last years crop left over after
seeding. Perhaps the biggest result
Of this advance in the market comes
to those who have had their wheat
crop of year ago stored in the ele-
vators with the hope and expectation
that the prediction of dollar and a
half wheat would materialize before
the harvesting of the present crop.
Among those who have been hanging
on for the big money is Donald Nc
Lauchlin, who on Monday sold up
wards Of 1000 bushels of wheat that
he has had stored at the Langdon
Farmers elevator since last fall.

sented by L. S, Champine, the holder

Judging from the time particles of
coal were first brought to the surface
by the drill until the sign Of coal be-
ing present disappeared would indicate
that coal was deposited there in what
unquestionably are paying quantities
from q mining point OF view. Samples
which Mr. Bone showed on returning
to Langdon show the coal to be of the

mined in the western part Of this

Rain Accompany frequent Inunder ana
Wind Storms Warning of Light Frosts
Two regular or marked storm per-
iods are forecast by Hicks in his pre-
dictions for the incoming month OF
May. These are in addition to storm
already scheduled for the closing days
of April and which promise to overlap
the end of the outgoing month and
reach close about the End or 3rd OF
May. This storm, which is expected
to be in progress when the month OF
May opens, is due to sweep from the
west to the east, reaching the Atlantic
coast by the Bird and is likely to be
followed by several days of cool
weather. Both rain and wind are to
be embodied in a reactionary storm,
which should be central in most
western and northwestern sections OF
the country by the 9th or 7th, and as
its varying path is from south to
north, thunder and clouds of torandic
formation may be expected as natu-
raj result in some localities. In
northern regions the clearing of this
storm period is likely to be attended
by light frosts at night. The first
real storm period in May, according
to Hicks, should be central about the
10th of the month involving dates
from the Sth to the 18th.
A succession of electrical storms
may be anticipated during this period
also unusually heavy downpours of
rain. The barometer will gradually
rise with the change of the wind to a
westerly direction, a cooler atmos-
phere and strong probability OF frost
about the 18th, which may recur for
two or three nights follows to the end
of the period. In reactionary storm
from the 18th to the 18th, further
prolongation of wet, stormy, May
weather may be expected with rapidly
occurring changes from one extreme
of temperature to another. The sec.
ond regular storm period of the month
will cover from the Goth to the 25th,
insclusive, with the 22nd as its cen.
ter, and owing to the lateness in the
month in which it appears, it shoult
be given watchfulness for signs Of
approaching changes of weather ant

The growth of the state is shown

to the fact that the population Of

that people are returning to North

rich aluvlal farm lands of our state
after having tried the lures of the
