HARDEST HIT,

Spain is n il not the most de
pendent. OF European nations. She is
suffering more from economic trou
Ibles than many Of the b%elligerents
Shortage 81 coal is becoming serious
and opens up a splendid market for
the United States. This nation leads
the world in the production of coal.
Nearly twice as much is mined as in
the United Kingdom.
Spain is in the market for three
million tons Of the product and the
nearest available market is the Unit.
ed States. Spain imports more than
she exports of all products to the en-
tent of $3,OOO,0oo annually. .m, 900.
But Spain has a staggering public
debt when her resources are taken
into consideration. 1t exceeds that Of
this nation. Her latest report shows
a public obligation Of $1,814,270,0 0C,
or nearly 100000 900 more than the
United States. Spain now is fifteenth
on the list Of our best customers and
her trade has a value of $31,41,7 23.
War in Europe should increase this
materially in 1915.

EATING POTATOES.

By the department of agriculture
We are all advised to eat more po
tatoes II bread becomes too dear.
This Is not wholly to the liking of
many. To the cynical 1t may seem
like the French nobleman's advice
to his peasants when they could get
no bread to eat grass; but this is not
the spirit OF the agricultural depart.
ment. 1t is an economic statement
that is worth considering. Although
the potato is an American contribu.
ton to the worlds diet, it is much
more used for food in Europe than in
this country, says Philadelphia 1nquir-
er. We all eat potatoes in modera-
ton, but in Germany they may be al.
most called the staff Of life. This coun.
try produces an average Of .Sout 200.
100000 bushels a year, while in Ger.
many 1t is five times as much. More
potatoes are raised annually In Eu.
rope than the whole wheat crop or the
world amounts to, and the crop in.
creases yearly. Curiously enough, we
import potatoes In considerable guam
titles. Although growers Of potatoes.
in this country complain Of small prof.
its, the consumer pays . high price
for them. It is evident that there Is
an enormous economic loss between
producer and consumer. That is In
part due to the fact that potatoes are
commonly bought in small quantities,
whereas nearly every householder
could buy several bushels at q 70
duced rate.

CASE OF CLAY COUNTY,.

North Dakota will rejoice if Clay
county goes dry for the suspension OF
the liquor business in Moorhead Will
simplify the enforcement of the liqlol
laws in North Dakota. AS long as
Moorhead, East Grand Forks aud
Breckenridge continue in the nefar-
ious traffic, the enforcement of the
prohibition laws becomes doubly hard
in this state.
While law is one Of the ~preventives
of i%ntenrperance' it is a weak tnstru.
sment unless backed up by public
opinion. n,P rohibitory statutes d. are
broken reeds except when an aroused
people demand strict enforcement.
Il North Dakota can cooperate with
Minnesota when her counties contigu-
BUS to this state go dry. Over tweny-
ty.five years of prohibition have

Of how to enforce the liquor laws.

that as long as England maintains her

The helplessness of this nation to

shocked we may be at attacks upon

that is a problem for the belligerents

This nation is in no shape now to
start as the avenger Of civilization.
1t may be proper to register our pro
test, but it would be foolish to sever
relations with Germany because thai
nation refused to cease it's present
treatment of belliserent ships.

safe under the American flag " the

Knights Of the Road Put Up Shrewd
Scheme to Aid Widow In
Dire Situation.

"That the drummer is the right sort
Of chap was demonstrated to me to-
day." said a Pittsburger. Coming in
on the train was a widow woman with
three kids. From the amount of her
drapery she had on I guess her hus.
band had just died and left her a gum
tree. You could tell she had seen
good, easy times, but maybe there was
some neglect about insurance. What
with the kids and other reasons you
could see she was nervous about this
travelling. Anyhow, we hadn't gone
far before the conductor found out that
she was on the wrong train. Then she
broke, down, but she was as proud as
a well-bred m could be. It didn't
take the hummelshine, were six Of
them-long to find out that she was so
badly fixed that she had spent her last
dollar on tickets and was like to be
stranded with the kids in a place
where she didn't want to land. The
drummers wanted to help her, but they
didn't know how to 60 about it; she
was so darned reserved that no one
had the nerve to offer to pull her out.
But finally they got in the smoke room
and figured out the thing on a time
table. They all Clipped in and then
called in the conductor. He was the
right sort Of a fellow. The way he
done it was fine. He walked back to
the lady with a thoughtful air and
said he had telegraphed to New York
and had had the tickets changed. To
see that woman's face would have
done you good"

might have Jared better. There are
still certain spots in the suburbs to
which the nightingale returns year at.

One Of them is Wimbledon Common,
where the bird sings every spring, oft

those who hear him. It is commonly
believed that because, az all the world
knows. the nightingale sings by night.

REFUSAL

! It is not expected that Germany
will refuse to abandon her submarine
attacks upon belligerent merchantmen.
A recent note to the United States in
Dictated that she is willing to alter her
attitude toward the merchantmen OF
neutrals even though they carry con-
straband Of war.
The United States regards it
as a duty to protest against Germany's
raid OF %belligerent merchantmen.
But the British order in council has
/ thrown into confusion all information
al regulations governing traffic
by belligerents. The English trade
embargo which many diplomats de-
/ clare is a violation of international
law was answered by Won Tirpitz's
declaration of submarine warfare on
! merchantmen and armed vessels alike.
Is Germany's attitude toward beli.
gerent ships properly the concern OF
this nation? If boats Of American
registry carrying American colors
have the freedom of the seas in COM
pliance with the Hague regulations
has not Germany discharged her obi
cations to this nationo
In other words is it incumbent upon
this nation to mediate between Ger
many and England on any PROPOSE
ton?
Is it neutrality in the strictest sense
for us to appear in the role of a media
tor to secure safety for British COM
merce under the guise of protecting
Americans?
The situation offers great opportur.
ity for this nation to prevent the wan-
ton destruction of life by attacks upon
unprotected. merchantmen. But do
we owe England more in this contro-
versy than Germany?
Should not our note to Germany de-
manding protection for non-combat-
ants on sea be followed by another to
England demanding a modification Of
the order in council?

dent Wilson in this controversy, but
