a laugh. "You can never tell, Nina,
who is the sender of a valentine" he
managed to reply in manner in

Bolton grinned. maybe It was
Jack who sent them" he suggested.
~ am sure he's still q fond admlrer,
you can't wriggle out that way,
Bob" Mrs. Harrington insisted. IF
Jack should do thing like that I'd
straightway faint; no, believe first
I'd ask him what he had been up to
and remind him that conscience Is a
terrible thing"
Don't be too hard on the poor
boy" Mrs. Bolton spoke UP, glancing
proudly and gratefully at her hus-
band. Even Bob sometimes forgets
these-these little things. But St.
Valentines Day? Well, that was the
day on which we became engaged! :"
And she glanced archly at Bob. who
flushed and smiled back-dutlfully
Presently dinner was served. 1t
was an excellent one. no doubt; but
Bolton had only vague notion Of
what he was eating. His thoughts
we're upon st. Valentines Day. And
the fruit and the candy!
Who could have sent them? Was
he justified In taking the credit unto
himself? Would he be found out?
And properly Inundated?
Confound 1t, why hadn't he remem-
bered the day! Edith was so sur
prised and pleased, and so proud to
SHOW him off, before Nina,
Well, right or wrong, he was In for
It now and-comforting thought!--no
sclf-respecting sender of valentine
would have the bad taste to divulgc
his identity. At all events. he'd have
to stick 1t out! Was he downhearted?
No! -.
Later, in their own room, when
Edith thanked him prettily for her
valentine he, graceless scamp, smiled
and smiled as one who accepts laurels
solely because It is more modest to
do so and have II over with than to
protest.
"I was so afraid you would forget,
Bob" his wife added. Nina is for
ever harping on the Indifference Of
the average married man toward his
wife in little matters Of sentiment
such as this-and you should have
seen her face when the fruit and
the candy arrived"
Bolton laughed. He decided to take
the plunge. "1t's kind of rough on

WAS THERE A TRADe7

The Minneapolis Tribune figures that
Wilson got about three thousand Of his
votes in Minnesota through trade be.
tween the Democrats and the Socialists.
There is no doubt that the Republican
national ticket was outrageously traded
in many quarters, but this is TIE first
suggestion that trading went on between
any party and the Socialists. who are
supposed to play lone hand at the polls
Oh election day. It has been asserted
that the Socialists, in States where the
blanket-bal primary prevails. have
been made use Of to swing the nomin.
atoms of one or the other of the old
parties. But there stern political moral.
ity was thought to be immune against
any Establishments on the day of the
real election.

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT

Loans are made to farmers only.
Land speculation is not to be encourag
ed by the Act.
These statments give the intent of the
law, but whether this intent can be car.
ried out is, Of course. unknown at the
present time. Persons who are owners
or about to become owners of farm land
may become borrowers. And farther, to
quote the words of the Act, mo loan
shall be made to any person who IS not
at the time, or shortly to become epgag.
ed in the cultivation of the farm mort.
gagged"
Tho borrowers must fill out blank
stating the objects to which he means to
apply the loan. II he apply the money
to some other purpose. the Federal Land
Bank, holding the mortgage may declare
the mortgage due and payable forthwith.
To keep watch over the borrowers use
of funds, is one Of the special duties of
the secretary treasurer of the local Ma.
tional Farm Loan Association. He shall
assure himself from time to time that
loans are applied to the purposes set
forth in the application blank. And he
shall forthwith report to the district
Land Bank any failure to comply with
tho terms Of tho application.

Yes, this phrase has gotten SO common
that that the newspaper paragraphera
now simply write the initials. "High
Cost OF. Living" is the most common
talk of the day. whether it be in news.
papers, stores or at the breakfast table.
As we have noted in these columns,
there are some peculiar things connected
with these high prices. One, notably is
that while each and every person is do
ing his best to increase the price of bis
own product, he is at the same time
!Aicking hard against the high prices OF
the products Of other people.
just now, there are extensive move
ments in the eastern cities among
shousewives' to organize boycott on
ioodstuffs, particularly eggs, butter and
-four. In some cities these movements
ssd organizations have had some slight
effects in lowering prices.
These expressions of public sentiment
have even reached political circles and
there is no doubt that law will be in.

the object of placing an embargo on

A ..DlsTRlcT JUDGE"
:; sUPREMEcoURr

Our grave and reverend supreme court
of this state is in rather an undignifed
scramble for Office this week, especially
notable as our wonderful primary law
tried to take the judiciary out Of the
mud OF every day politics.
The trouble lies in the fact that the
first judges by specific authority of the
constitution took Office on December 4th
OF that year. Since that time all suc.
cessors have taken at the same time as
do ala other officials, which is the first
Monday of January. The newly elected
supreme judges claim that in their case
they should qualify on the fourth day
of December, while the present iustic-
es claim that they are entitled to serve
out their full terms which would end in
January.
"A popularity of this case is that it is
a case that must be tried before the su.
preme court itself, but rs all the justlc-
es are concerned 10 the decision therefore
all Of them are disqualified to sit on
ahe case, and as . result the court for
the time being will be composed of dis
trict jndges.
1t is quite possible that the decision
will have hearing on the case OF the
dictatorship in this First Legislative
District in which there is also legal
tangle as to length Of term Of the senator
But it is not probable that the latter
will ever become matter Of supreme
court decision because according to the
rules of all legislative bodies, such bodies
are the judges OF the qualifications OF
their own membership.
Still, If the senatorial matter should
come to the legislature, and the supteme
court had already decided on certain vi
tai points, we wonder whether the senate
would pay auy attention to the "prece.
dents" of the supreme court, or decide
as they usually do, almost purely on a
party basis with little attention to the
actual merits of the contest.
But it locks as though the "district
judge" supreme court will have to de.
eide whether the constitutional term Of
four or six years goes. or whether it has
been changed.

In Serbia the Serbian army is still
moving northward and recouquering
their own land, but without much heavy

Britain was composed of selection of re-

NO NATIONAL GUARD
HEREAFTER

In long article published IN Golfers
Weekly returned militia officer scores
the government with verysserious charg.
es.
Some of his points are-that the mill.
tia were deceived by the government
and expected to remain on the border
but few months at most. That their
places we're taken by regulars for which
purpose the regular army was to be re-.
cruited to its full strength at one. The
latter has not been done.
That the recruiting of the regular
army cannot be done at the present rate
of pay, about fifty cents day. That
the guardsmen left positions and occupa.
tions at which they were making good
wages averaging from four to seven dol
lars day on which they supported their
families. Many of these families are
now actually suffering for want of means
Of support.
That no designations of officers or ap.
plications for discharge are accepted by
the government based on "business mat.
ters''
That very large number of officers
rendered their designations and that
many more would like to resign.
That the desire to return home is al.
most unanimous among both officers and
men. That owing to their experiences
almost every man in this militia will
close his connection with that organiz-
alton at the earliest possible moment.
That only actual war conditions and per-
sonal patriotism will ever induce them
to join the ranks again. Hence their
usefulness as trained and organized
body as reserve Of the regulars in
preparedness" will be lost. That their
experience will deter new recuiting to
the ranks of the national guard and
therefore there will hereafter be no
national guard.
The writer's,remedy is to increase the
pay OF the regular army and to make it
larger.
Personally except for an extraordinary
efervesence of personal patriotism
which few men posses, we hardly see
any inducement fer any man to join
either the national guard or the regular
army for fifty cents aud board per day.
when common farm hand In North
Dakota gets tom thirty.tive to forty
five dollars and board per month. Dig.
ging dirt as common laborer pays a
hundred per cent better than trench
digging in the army.
Guess Uncle Sam will also come in
under the " H. G.. L. as we'll ss do
other employers.
