OLD LAND MARK
BURNS TO GROUND

Wlliston. N. D.. Jan. 25.-The
house on the H. v. Smith farm, about
ten miles north Of the city burned to
the ground. H. T. Smizer, who lived
there came to town with Mr.. Durum
and that night, Claude Clausson, who
works for J. w. Brown noticed a light
shining in his window. He looked out
and saw the Smith house was on fire.
Brown phoned the neighbors while
Claussen hurried over to the house.
He broke in but was only able to get
out trunk and a few other things as
the fire had considerable headway
when he arrived. 1t is not known lust
how the fire started but probably from
an overheated stove. The house was
one of the best in that part of the val
ley and was worth about $1,40O and
was insured.
This building is one of the old land
marks of the Valley. part of it having
been built about twenty years ago.

PLEA FOR PREPAREDNESS
 BASED ON PATRIOTISM

the cost of a war. even with one Of the lesser nations of Europe, which would likely be avoided in case the country was prepared. The prudent, man early in life takes out life insurance In order that his estate and his family after being deprived of his aid may not suffer. Pre- paredness is nothing more than insur- ance. Of course if we knew there would be no ward it would be folly to spend this money, as it would be folly for tho merchant to use part of his income for fire insurance if he knew there would be no fire-but he doesn't know it. and there is no power on earth that can give him that knowledge.
 TEere are great men, good men, and DE triotic men on both sides of this issue It iS then merely the howl of the dema- gogue to assign insldious reasons and motives to those who favor preparedness. Tt could with equal propriety be charged that those who oppose it do so because trey deplore the spending of the neces- sary money because they want it for rivers and harbors, public buildings and other so-called pork barrel appropria- tions.
 So far as I am concerned the safety of my country comes first. I hope that there will never be another war, but am not blind to the fact that there are likely to be many more so long as fsSlible men control the destinies of nations. l be- lleNe the pest ana greatest assurance that this country will keep out of war is to prepare it without stint to defend itself. The party that does it may never re- ceive full credit for the act from the people. because there will be no war, and no way to determine whether there would have been had it not been done. But woe to the pacifist-if there comes a war and the country Is nov prepared for 1t. Upon the head of the advocate for peace at any price will fall the just condemna- tion of the people. for it will be him v ho has deceived them. and lulled them to sleep in fancied security.
 So convinced am of the necessity of preparedness that I would walk to Ala bama if necessary to vote against any member of Congress who opposed it. and though I am a democrat l would register my vote against my own party if 1t stood in opposition to it and some other party stood for it. With me my coun- try first and my party next. In the end. too, the country will see the wisdom of the Presidents plans May it not regret that they were not adopted, but rather may the country congratulate itself that he had the courage to stand for it against violent opposition from many of the Iead- CTS in his own party. Sincerely yours,
 C. F. STEWART.

TRADING QUIET ON
 COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at Small Advance, But Fi-
 nal Prices Were Lower

New York, February 5-The cotton mar ket was very quiet today and sentiment seemed to be more or less unsettled over international affairs, with fluctuations narrow and irregular May contracts, for instance. sold up from F. Ole to F G7c, but eased off, closing at 12 Ole, with the general list closing steady net unchanged to points lower.
 There appeared to be some overnight selling orders around the ring at the start, and the opening was steady at an advance of 1 point on September. but generally 1 to points lower. Liverpool was better than due however, while over night advices from the south indicated no change in the spot situation, and at the start there seemed to be somewhat less nervousness over international poli- ties Houses with Liverpool and New Orleans connections were moderate buy CTS around the opening figures, while there was some scattered covering and prices worked up during the first hour, with March advancing from Il soc to Il .85c while January sold up from F. 12c to 12.21c, and October from 12 Sc to 2.23c. The advance was checked at this level by renewed liquidation, and prices later
 
 under moderate offerings which came partly from Wall street sources, and which may have reflected continued ner- vousness over the diplomatic situation. Trading was quiet during the entire morning and small orders were sufficient to influence prices in the absence of gen eral business. Reports from London re- Viving rumors that the British govern ment intends to undertake general control of shipping attracted some attention, and it was reported that while ocean freight brokers were still quoting a rate of s per hundred pounds on cotton from New York to Liverpool room could be booked at $2.75 The amount of cotton ship beard at the close of business yesterday showed a decrease of about 33,0O0 bales for the week, but the clearances last week were larger than for sometime past. Reports from the domestic goods trade indicated continued activity, and mills are said to be well engaged for the next three months

COTTON DECLINES ON
 FOREIGN SITUATION
Market Sagged Under Liqui- dation Caused by Uncer-
 tainty of Developments

New Orleans, February 5-It was nar- row weekend session in the cotton mar ket today, with shorts hampered by the following they have recently acquired. and any real buying power out of the question because of international politics. Fluctuations were far from broad, and much of the trading was of an evening" up nature. Uncertainty over develop ments in the Lusitana case served to in crease weekend liquidation on both sides. Liverpool was much better than due on futures, but opening trades here were at the decline, and around the call prices lest to points. CcNering by shorts as sumed fairly large proportions momentar- iIy and the initial decline was recovered and replaced by d net advance of l to 4 points. This small rise brought out fresh offerings, under which the market sagged to a level to points under yesterdays last prices. The close was steady, un- changed to points down compared with yesterdays close.
