JUST AS IMPORTANT,

A Hughes victory without Republl'
can control of both branches of Con.
gress would defeat the intent of the
voters. Under our system Of govern.
ment such situation is possible.
The more reason, then, that the scorn.
plexion of the next Congress be Re.
publican by a safe working majority.
The Republicans must elect % can
dates to control the senate. In the
November elections, 90 Senators are
to be chosen. Seventeen Of these
seats are now held by Democrats and
fifteen by Republicans.
1t seems likely, however, that
whichever way the election goes for
President, the selection will carry
with it Congressional endorsement
or reputation of that body.
Republican leaders are leaving
nothing undone to wrest control Of
Congress from the Democrats. The
Maine election gave the Republicans
gain of one in the Senate. Seven
more seats must be captured from
Democrats besides retaining the fiji.
teen now held by Republicans to give
Hughes party control.

FARM LABOR.

! The labor survey in it's various as.
poets as conducted by r. L. Stanley,
representative of the United States
Department of Labor, assigned to
North Dakota, has emphasized the me-
cessity of standardizing methods in
securing help for both the farming
and industrial districts.
. 1t is no longer possible for farm:
er to drive to town and procure com.
petent help. Not only are the men
not to be found, but the kind of men
that sit about pool halls or make liv-
cry stables their rendezvous usually
prove dismal failures as farm hands.
The time for farmers to get in
touch with the best sources of farm
labor is ahead of the season, not in
Its midst, as is usually the case.
Each year the problem of farm labor
becomes more serious. The war in
Europe has cut down the number Of
immigrants to this country, which
merely makes the necessity greater
for bringing the employer in more di.
rect touch with the labor supply.
So acute has the situation become
that eastern corporations whose de.
mand for labor is great, have invaded
the South and are bringing north
thousands of negroes to perform work
done in normal years by arrivals at
Ellis Island.
If the war continues, the North Da
kota farmer with bumper crop upon
his hands will feel the pinch of la
Dor shortage. Now is the time to lay
plans for next season.

"fHou SHALT MOTT"

That church attendance has beer
falling off for more than a decade has
been acknowledged in many pulpit
deplored in religious journals, and be
come the subject of many a worried
hour for deacons. elders, trustees and
presbyters. Some congregations have
gone out of existence. Theological
seminaries have sought vainly for
the quotas of students required to
carry on the work of their denomina.
lions.
And it has been assumed, there.
fore, that religion itself is losing its
hold in many families.
Is this conclusion justifiable?
The whole country is now about to
reply. The answer will appear in the
amount of interest aroused by the
proposal of the Episcopalians to
shorten the Ten Commandments at
their convention in St. Louis next
month.
Shall the Ten Commandments be
boiled down?
Tens of thousands of persons who
have stopped going to church know
the decalogue by heart, and obey it.
The commandments have changed
their form more than once. In the
beginning the two tables of testi.
mony," written with the finger of
Cod" were broken by Moses, and Je.
hovah again wrote 1.-The ten words"
of the covenant.
There are two texts of the deca.
logue, that of Exodus Xxx, PIT, and
that Of Deuteronomy V, 6.21. The
version in Exodus is regarded as the
older form.
The division of verses made by the
Lutheran and Catholic churches diff
fers from that of the Protestants.
The Jews teach a short form 10 chill.
dren.
The commandments have been
translated into thousands of Ian.
guages and dialects, but their essence
has never been lost. For they EN-.

and the heart of Jew and Gentle
saint and sinner. They will cause
the people as whole to speak out
and betray the true depths of their
interest in religion.
We live in time Of great psyche

the form of dreadful war. In this
country it may mean a great wave oil

CLOSES BANKS.

Carranza has closed the Banco Ma
cional and the London and Mexico
banks of Mexico City, because they
are involved in a movement to de-
preciate the Carranza currency" The
two banks named are, in effect the
money trust of Mexico, and have
branches throughout the republic.
What ultimate effect the closing of
these big institutions will have upon
Mexico's financial system can only be
surmised. The immediate result
must must be a distressing stagna.
ton Of domestic trade and probably
a series of commercial bankruptcies
throughout the country, unless Car.
ganza has provided a remedy in ad.
vance, which has not been made pub.
lie.
The political effect may be rather
more accurately forecasted. The in.
situations closed are owned almost
wholly by British and French CAPT
talists. Allied with the banks are
many of Mexico's largest manufacture
ing and producing industries. All
these will suffer severely. Carran-
za's decree verges close upon the con-
fiscatOry and we are poor prophets
if there is not an immediate and EN-.
phatic protest from the French and
British governments that must have a
decided effect upon the whole Mexican
situation. ID

Glaring Headlights
Cause of Accidents

Every user of the highways who
has been subject to the menace of
glazing headlights on automobiles
will be glad to learn that a remedy is
to be applied at the source. A COM
mittee OF the society OF automobile
engineers has put the matter up to
the lamp makers, and the proba bilit-
les are that ere long new cars will
come equipped with devices to elimin-
ate the glare of the headlights. This
reform is being FASTENED by reports
from a number Of states that drastic
laws on the subject will be enacted
this winter unless the manufacturers
do something t overcome the danger.
The thousands of cars already in use
will not be affected, of course, by the
headlight reform. Therefore, it is up
to every auto owner who has any con-
sideration for the rights and safety Of
others to equip his lights with some
device that will eliminate the glare.
The lumber of deaths al serious
accidents that have been caused by
glazing auto headlights should make
the Punishment of glazing lights I'M

Cold Storage Plants

Washington, Dec. 9.-Disclosures
by the United States department of
agriculture showing tremendous in
creases in cold storage holdings
throughout the country, as compared
with those of a year ago, drew the at

The report Of the department,
which was forwarded at once to Presi-
dent Wilson, shows great stocks Of
frozen and cured meat in the whole
sale slaughtering and meat packing
establishments and public cold stor-
age Dec. 1. Some increases over the
holdings of a year ago reached SIS
per cent. Firms reporting holdings Of
frozen beef were shown to have 49,

of IL per cent. There were $780,

Peace Move Started by Central Powers
SEED SPUDS SCARCE
In SOUTH STATES
Ten Southwestern States Appeal to
North For Seed

Minneapolis, Nov. 11.-Ten states of
the southwest, including Texas. are
sending inquiry II Minneapolis for
seed potatoes, and the situation is not
only serious, but in some of its as
poets is alarming, Dean A. +. Woods
of the college of agriculture declared
yesterday in issuing a warning to
Minnesota farmers to hang onto po-
toes for next springs sed.
There is an actual scarcity of good
seed, the dean said. Some districts in
Minnesota produced good crops, but
asa whole the production of the state
was short. Estimates or the quantity
actually raised vary from so to 60 per
cent of a normal crop.
Serious Crop Effect Feared
The big annual southwest demand
for the hardy, prolific, northern grown
seed potatoes usually begins toward
the last of December and many car
laods go south in January and Febru-
airy. This year ther9 is such a scar
city of good stock, say agricultural
experts and men in the wholesale po-
tato trade, that the whole situation
has been changed.
IF the Minnesota farmers do not
provide themselves with good seed,
the crop Of the state in 1917 will be
seriously affected" Dean Woods said.
IL would like to reach every farmer
in the state who raises potatoes. If
he has taken measures to provide
good seed for next spring, well and
good. III not, and | fear that many
farmers have not, l would like him to
know the situation.

NOn-Resident Land Owners Improve

Mr.. and f. A. Benjamin, who spent
several weeks in Miller looking after
property interests returned to their
home in Danville, Illinois last week.
While here they purchased a third
quarter of land a couple of miles
north of town. and have made ar
rangements to build and develop their
farm. After a careful personal Hinves-
tigation Mr.. Benjamin decided that
this was the practical thing for a non
resident land owner to do.
The Press has several times sug-
gested the wisdom Of this course to
people who are holding unimproved
land in South Dakota. There is a
strong demand for farms to rent, and
considerable demand for farms to
buy, but there is practically no de-
mand for land to rem or buy with
out buildings. The explanation Is
readily discovered by any one who
cares to seek it. There is more land
now under cultivation than the pres
ent population can handle thorough
ly and efficiently. The result is that
which always follows a surplus Of
anything indifferent farming and
low rentals. The great need is more
farmers to do better farming. And
more farmers are eager to come II
they could secure improved farms.
Real estate men have realized this
condition for some years, and have
advised their clients not to break up
any more land, unless they intended
to erect buildings and secure farmers
to farm the land.

INCREASING
In NUMBER and KIND
They Need Some Attention From
Those Who Like To See Them

1t is interesting to not, that among
their varied sentiments many Lewis
paper men of the state are more or
less nature-lovers They are now
making a plea 10 their constituencies
to help the increasing numbers and
varieties of featne, Ell songsters COM
ing into the state. Pioneer settlers
recall that very few birds were II be
seen about the new towns when they
first took up their homes here. A few
varieties annually came to the scar-
tered patches of timber in gulches
and along streams, and ventured out
upon the prairies somewhat. But il
was noticed that they always remain
ed within quick flight Of two things,
viz: trees and water. Since trees
have grown to a considerable size in
the towns and cities, the birds have
increased in number and varieties.
Thus it is evident that our migra-
tory visiters require two things in
particular. Water they must have,
trees they will have. And while the
pioneer settlers efforts have furn-
ished them trees in towns and upon
many farms, there still remains the
question OF a regular, every day
supply OF water. This must be fur
nished in many instances by thought
full people. In the towns and cities
it should be by an open par or shall
low vessel kept filled with water
through the summer months some
where upon the lot for the birds to
drink and battle. For the daily bath
is as important to them as to the
human-perhaps more so. But water
is so common and plentiful that CON-
paratively few people ever give it a
thought in connection with the birds.
A moments Thought, however, d~isclos-
es the fact that birds can not urn
hydrants or faucets. Some one must
do ii for them.
The man or woman who loves to
see the birds about should always
keep an open pan of water on the lot.
The birds will discover 1t, and build
their homes near this regular supply
of their n most important require
ment, and they will return year after
year to this known supply.
