Tuesday evening from Harper hospital
Detroit, where she recently underwent
successful operation for appendicitis.
She was naturally considerably fatigued
by the railroad trip, but continues to
improve quite satisfactorily.-North
Branch Gazette.
We wish to call the attention of own
ers Of threshing outfits that there is a
state law against the blowing of engine
whistles on the highways. 1t would
also be a sensible idea to blow the
whistle only when absolutely necessary
and cut out the wild cries many of
them make at times.
Frank Wilcox last week sold his 100
acre farm in Greenwood township; con-
sideration $4,000. The purchaser has
taken possession and Frank has bought
the Andrew Award house and lot, op-
posite the Yale Lumber 81 Coal Co.'s
yard and will move in this week. We
welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcox to our
midst.
Report comes from Brockway and
Emmett townships that the storm last
Thursday did great deal OF damage
to growing crops. The hail riddled
the corn and the wind laid the wheat
and oats fiat. Will Jurden aud Fred
Theel say that after the storm In their
sections one could scoop up hail stones
by the shovel fulls. Other parts Of the
county nearby got only slight rain

meth and l.. Roy Fuller, motored over
to a small stream south and west of the
village of Almont Friday and spent the
day fishing. They caught dozen nice
brook trout. Cooking utensils were
taken along and the fish were prepared
and fine meal enjoyed. No one ever
doubts Roy's word, but for fear some
one might possibly say he was telling a
fish story regarding catching brook
trout In this part of the state, he
brought one home and showed il to
several people.
Hiram Brown called at the Exposi-
tor Office last Friday and renewed his
subscription until 1920. Mr.. Brown is

L. W. W. AGREEMENT DROPPED

The statement is given out in press dispatches that
the reason for the rejection Of the Townley-I. w. w.
agreement at the Valley City and Devils Lake meetings
was that those who participated in the meeting believed
that the proposed scale Of wages was unreasonably high.
That may have been the sole consideration taken into ac-
count at those meetings. AS to that we are not Informed.
But it ia a fact that a very large number of farmers, m
Guiding not a few members of the Nonpartian league, are
opposed to making any contract with the I. w. w. or any
other offshoots. regardless Of the terms offered.
These farmers recognize in the L. w. W. an organize
ton which is based on anarchy. and which counsels and
promotes crime. They have witnessed it's behavior in
other states, and many Of them have suffered from its
malicious activities here at home. They know that its
leaders preach the reputation of contracts, and they
know that even if this were not So. there is no way by
which the organization can hold its members to the full
ftlment Of their contracts. A contract with such an or
ganizahon is binding on the farmer, but it is not binding
on the transients who appear as the other parties.
1t would be a good thing Of the farmers could have
assurance of the help they need at just prices. But a
contract with the I. W, W. gives no such assurance.
Something has been said about the desirabilty of ratify-
ing this agreement in order that the farmers Of the north
lence. This. too. is a desirable end to be attained. But
if a disorderiy element holds out the threat of prospect
I've violence, It Is poor business to buy peace with a con-
tract, especially a contract which is not regarded by the
other party as having any binding force. These are con-
siderations to which farmers in general are giving some
attention. It Is possible that they may have influenced
the decisions of the Valley City and Devils Lake meet
ings.

EXEMPTIONS AND APPORTIONMENT

1t in reported that the managers Of severalsslarge
corporations are urging their employees to claim exemp-
ton from military service on the ground that the employ
ment In which these men are engaged is necessary to tho
maintenance of the military establishment. While this
is being urged on a large scale the act is held to be an
indirect evasion of the draft law.
It is evident that in considering claims for exemp-
ton many cases must be treated individually, each on
fs own merits" The circumstances are so varied that a
general rule can scarcely, be made to apply. There, are
cases 50 simple that the general rule will suffice. A.man
Is exempt If he Is already in the military or naval service
OF the United States. He is exempt If he belongs to one
OF certain designated classes Of officials; If he is a regular
minister Of the gospel; and SO on. In such cases there
is no middle ground. In other cases, as those relating to
occupation, each case must be investigated, and exemp-
don or the reverse must be based on the ascertained
facts. .-44% @a
1t will be borne In mind that the apportionment is by
states, and that claims for exemption will also be first
considered by local boards. Thus, North Dakota ts re-
CURED to furnish b,606 men. The exemption Of any
number Of individuals does not change the quota. When
one man is declared exempt, some other man from the
same state must be drawn in order to bring the list up
to the required number. There is every reason, there
fore, why exemption boards should deal fairly In the mat
ter Of exemptions, and there is every reason to believe
that this will be done. =

AMAZING DEVELOPMENT

In the wonderful feats of Miss katherine stinson at
the state fair visitors are given an impressive object les
syppi in the amazing development Of aviation within a
..sauIzen years or less. =..t
~ The Langley experiment and the painstaking effort
sor the Wrlghts are matters of history. A few people at
length became convinced that If all the conditions. were
right a man could actually fly. Hoxsey appeared at one
or the fairs at Grand Forks, and did some splendid fly
Ing. But even at that time there was little to indicate
that the art had in it anything likely to be of great use.
Then long flights were undertaken. The British channel
was crossed. There was transcontinental flights In this
Country. Trick flying was undertaken, and experts began
EHS practice some OF the feas in which Miss stinson has
become the acknowledged leader. She and her associates
have demonstrated, not merely that a human being can
fly as well as a bird, but that with a machine properly
constructed, and with the requisite skill, a human being
can do things in the air that no bird that ever wore
feathers can approach.
Aviation has played, and is playing, a tremendously
important part in the war. It is often said by men who
are In a position to be we'll informed that the war will
93e won IN the air. Just now everything that is done IN
the direction Of perfecting flight is sdone with reference

AN UNTRUE STATEMENT

The trouble with the statement Of the German
re1chstag as to the causes, OF the war is that it is untrue.
The statement Of the terms on which the reichstap thinks
peace should be made is preceded by the statement that
Germany went to war to protect her freedom, her terri
tory and her trade. Nobody was threatening the freedom
Of Germany. No seizure of her territory was in prospect
or contemplated. Nobody was interfering with her trade.
Her goods and her ships were free to enter every port in
the world on as advantageous terms as were granted to
any other nation. German subjects were everywhere free
from molestation. Germany had planned for the war
for forty years. She had prepared for it. When her rul-
es believed that the time was ripe Germany started the
war. And now the war must go on until Germany has
had her fill of it. The war will go on until GERMANY is
whipped. It must go on until Germany is SO well whip
ped that she will have lost the taste for war.
1t Is idle at this time to talk Of terms of peace. When
Germany announces that she is whipped and. ready to ac-
cept such terms az her adversaries may propose. peace
terms will be presented. But there is a lot of hard fight
Ing to do yet bsfore Germany is reduced to a properly
humble frame OF mind. =

Until last February, when he was
appointed Prussian food controller,
there had been little in the life of DR..
George Michaelis to distinguish him
from hundreds of his bureaucratic col
leagues, who had been fitted by their
parents for the military service, and
had faithfully filled a series Of grad.
ually ascending posts, from that of
collector or magistrate to the presi-
sdency of a municipal council, and at
the advent of old g had received
an under secretaryship as g. reward
for a life Of bureaucratic labor.
DR.. Michaelis was born in 1857, and
entered the department of education.
He taught in the German government
school at Toxic from 1885 until 1889.
In the latter year he returned to Ger
many to complete his law studies and
was admitted to the Prussian bar at
schneidemuhl, Posen, i'm 1891. He
served in several small judicial offic-
es and then, in 1902, became first
president Of the municipal council Of
Breslau. =.
Seven years later he was appointed
under secretary of finance, serving
under Freiherr Won Rheinbaben. AS
Rheinbaben was then an old man, 1t
may be presumed that the administra-
ton of the department fell chiefly up
on DR.. Michaelis. Rheinbaben was
succeeded by the present encumbent,
DR.. Lentze, in 1910, with DR.. Michaelis
still under secretary.
To this office he added that Of food
controller in February. His first ap-
pearance before the Prussian diet was
on March Z. Government organs like
the College Gazette had prepared the
way for a serious declaration as to
the food question in Prussia. DR..
Michaelis said, in part, according to
the Westphalian Gazette:
I'VE have discovered in the third
year Of the war that among all sec
tons Of the people the general feel
ing evidenced is not I'M of that en-
DURANGO for which we had hoped. This
