"Fingy" Corners has offered his
services as boss stevedore to Uncle
Sam, and will superintend the load
ing and unloading Of American trans
ports in France.
The name OF 'Fingy' Corners may
not carry any significance to the
average resident OF Dakota. even
though he has achieved measure Of
national prominence, but tales Of
"Bingy8 are swapped at every port
on the Great Lakes. His career has
been q picturesque romance Of fresh

have his cowardly submarine teeth
sunk into the vitals of great ships
loaded with innocent men. women
and children, and consigned them to
a.watery grave. Even Royal Bengal
Tiger would scorn to use such cow
ardly teeth as this latter. The Royal
Berlin Tiger alone is capable OF such
| tigerishness.
The Rayol Bengal Tiger never at
tacks the female of his species nor
the young of his species.
The Royal Berlin Tiger has attack
1 cd Wantonly and viciously countless
women and children and inflicted up
on them cruelities worse than death.
1t Is an insult to the Bengal tiger to
compare him to the Berlin tiger.
No words can correctly express the
distinctive growl, or roar, or snarl
OF the Royal Bengal Tiger. 1t is
sufficiently frightful, but listen TO the
far more frightful snarls, and roars
and growls of the Royal Berlin Tiger.
Out of Their Own Mouths.
William Roscoe Thayer, in a book
entitled: "Out of Their Own Mouths
has furnished the information.
One takes when one can, and one
is wrong only when obliged to give
back"
Il begin by taking; later I shall
find pedants to show that was quite
within my rights"
IF there is anything to be gained
by 1t, we will be honest: IL deception
Is necessary, let us be cheats.
ut is my imperial and royal com
mand ISSUED Aug. 10, 1910, that you
concentrate your energies to
exterminate the treacherous English,
to shatter and annihilate General
French's contemplate little army"
''Ye shall love peace as a means
to new wars, and the short peace
more than the long,.
BE not considerate of thy neigh
bor.-What thou doest can no one
do to thee again. Lo, there is no
requital."
"This new table, o, my brethren,
put / upon you: Become hard"
"In the intercourse Of state with
state there are no laws and there
can be none.-A war may be waged
for political interests, but never for
an idea"
"There is no legal obligation upon
a state to observe treaties. Treaty
rights are governed wholly by con-
siderations of advantage.
France, - we must ruthlessly
weaken this country politically and
economically for the sake of our own
existence"
I'VE must keep Belgium firmly in
our hands" (Claws, more proper
ly)
No True German.
From Pastor d. Baumgerten: ANY
one who cannot bring himself to APP
prove from the bottom of his heart
the sinking of the Lusitania, who
cannot conquer his sense OF the
monstrous cruelty to countless per-
fectly innocent victims 49, and give
himself up to honest Joy at this
victorious exploit of German power
such a one we deem no true Ger
man."
If the above Royal Berlin Tiger
snarls are not sufficiently frightful
let one hunt up Lissauers Song of
Hate, and If that pals upon one,
let him look up the Song Of the
German Sword.
Mr.. Thayer concludes his introduce
ton to the book "Out of Their Own
Mouths" by saying: Cruelty and
mendacity! These two words sum
up military Prussianism."
He asks the question: you are
Americans, can you picture Washing
ton or Lincoln as supporting any of
these devilish ideas?"
Do we want to follow the advice
of the pacifists and wait till the snarl
heard on our soil before we act?

The Forman independent News
tells Of one of those who left North
Dakota and returned. as follows:
We talked the other day with a
man who owns a farm in the
state of Washington, and who
lived on it three years. He said
that after the first year, 1t was
his hope by day and his dream
by night to get money enough to
buy a ticket back to North Da-
kota. He finally talked some
body into giving him money en-
ough to come back on, and he
has ever since been singing,
How glad l ami" Rather beats
How dry l am"-doesn't it?
The Garrison Advance is not
ashamed of the boys who represent
Mclean county. You might substi-
tute the name Of any county in Da-
kota for Mclean in the following
editorial and it would still be
true:
We have had an opportunity
of sizing up the boys that made
up Mclean county's quota Of the
national army and we are con-
WINGED that the new national
army of drafted men is going to
be hummer. The men we saw
represent men who have had ex-
perience in civil life that will
make them especially good SOL
diers. They are going to be alive
and capable of rapid development
and able 20 handle themselves in al
most any position. The Kaiser
had better turn tail when the
boys Of Mclean county hit the
trail.
