AGREE TO LIVE UP
TO SALARY LIMIT
Western Magnates Promise
Each Other They Will Be
Faithful This Year.
ANOTHER MEET FOR OMAHA

Faithful promises to rigidly observe
the salary limit were made by the
Western league magnate gathered for
the special session at the summons of
President Zehrung at the Hotel Rome
Monday.
The salary limit was the paramount
issue before the magnates. 1t was to
settle this question that primarily
caused Zehrung to call the meeting.
Shortly after the 1916 campaign
closed several of the moguls an
nounced to the world that the salary
limit had been abused, mistreated and
knocked to splinters all year. No
denials .swere forthcoming. Silence
seemed to signify that everybody ad-
mitted everybody was doing it.

Many man feels that he IS down
and out when as a matter of fact he
still has in him many years of good
service that can be brought out by
proper treatment. Stomach trouble
often makes one respondent. 1t hits
him where he lives, saps his strength
and energy and makes him feel like
giving up. Give him a few doses Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to improve his
digestion and invigorate his liver and
bowels, and in most cases recovery is

IANAMOOSE Is
VERY ACTIVE
Splendid Record in Support
of Many Patriotic Eff
forts Us Attained

AnamooEe, NJ D., Dec z1.-The bus
mess men of Anamoose have organ
Jed themselves in a body under the
name Of the Anamoose War Aid and
Relief league, with L. g. Albrecht,
former state senator, as president, DR..
III. M. Presler as vice president, and
r.. J. Funke as secretary and treasur-
err. The purpose OF the league and its
activities are principally TO take full
charge OF all patriotic work. such as
a special drive for Red Cross mem
bership, soliciting funds for the N. M.
G. A., Armenian relief, and providing
suitable entertainments for the boys
who are joining the colors, as well as
any other work along these lines
A committee is already active solsc-
iting FUNDS for the Y. M. g. a., and
another committee Is on the special
Red Cross membership drive, working
with the school faculty whereby they
aim TO get as members the entire en-
rollment OF the school, over 500 in
number.
Anamoose has the record OF having
the first organized Red Cross chapter
this chapter have ever since the out
break of the war been active in help
ing organize local chapters In towns
and townships in Pierce, Sheridan and
McHenry counties. In view of the
fact that practically 96 per Cent OF the
population in this vicinity is made UP
OF foreign born, and that many Of the
farmers have no newspapers, and
during the busy seeding time last
spring the farmers naturally did not
have very much time to read and
study up on the registration laws,
the people of Anamoose did effective
work towards getting every young
man within the prescribed age limit
to register; and Anamoose has the
record of not having a single Stacker.

BISMARCK MAN
HURT IN FRANCE

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 21.-Captain
A. A. Jones. former chief dispatcher
at this point for the 500 line, and
one Of the first two Bismarck men
to receive commissions In the United
States quartermaster department.,
lies in French base hospital with
both arms in plaster casts as a re-
suit Of wounds sustained Nov. IA.
News to this effect was received
Thursday by Mrs. Jones, who has
continued to make her home here =
Captain Jones after receiving his
commission spent several months
in service at Fort Smelling, and he
had been at the front only q short
time when he was wounded. News
Of his injuries has been more than
a month in coming, probably be-
cause the Bismarck soldier preferred
not to alarm his friends until he was
past the danger mark, which his
letter to Mrs. Jones would now in
dictate. .,t.
The gallant North Dakota officer
was very prominent in Bismarck af-
fairs during his long residence here,
and he is an able railway executive,
standing very high in his examina-
tions for a commission. He was
among the first quartermaster off,
GERS to be sent to France, His duties
in France have been with the lines
Of supply, and It is presumed, in the
absence of more definite advice. that
his injuries came from a chance
shell, dropped far behind the first
line Of defense.

GERMANY's "PEAcE

Through neutral diplomatic chan

limitations that Germany is consid-
ering a peace offer, and the terms OF

vengeance. President Wilson has
made It very clear that he does not

part Of the state, commends itself to
every man who comedies that the
farmers have a right to organize for
their own protection-and that should
include every fair minded man in the
state.
That feature 10 that the organizers
Of the new league propose that the
affairs Of the league shall be in the
hands Of actual farmers and that the
league itself shall have representa-
tive government, and not be subject
to the control Of two or three dicta-
tors.
The Forum has no direct informa-
ton Of the aims and purposes of the
new organization, further than was
contained in the special dispatch
from Minot last evening. II however,
an organization Of farmers could be
effected, which would be truly repre-
sentative Of farmers, and which
would work for the advancement of
the economic and social interests of
the farmers, and which would keep
free from class legislation and any
appeal to class prejudice. The Forum
would hail it enthusiastically. The
more cooperation, the better, and in
such cooperation there is no reason
to exclude the business men OF the
towns and cities.
The Forum earnestly hopes to see
the day when all class feeling will
be eliminated in North Dakota. It is
just as much to the interest of the
farmer to help build up prosperous,
enterprising, thriving little cities
throughout the state. as it is for the
cities to see prosperous, fairly treat
ed, friendly farmers surrounding
them. The farmer need only picture
state without towns or cities where
he can go for amusement, for sup
plies, for schools. for churches, for
colleges, and for social intercourse, to
realize this. The merchant and the
banker don't need to be told what
hard times on the farm mean to
them.
The proposed new league, doubt
less, will Immediately have to face
the charge that 1t is fostered by
big Business, in an effort to wreck
the Nonpartisan league. The Forum
isn't in the confidence Of Big Bust
ness" enough to be able to affirm or
deny this. This much we do feel,
however: II 1t is organized solely
for the purpose Of lighting the

icy Of its own but merely one Of
destruction, 1t viii fail and will de-
serve to fail.
On the other hand IL it is organized

Wisconsin Finds
Meatless Days
Shows Results
(Ry Associated Press.l

Madison, Wis, Dec. 20.-An inter-
esting insight into the surplus
created by meatless days in Wiscon-
sin is afforded by the amounts of
pork entered into cold storage dur
ing October. The report Of the state
dairy and food commissioner for that
month has just been completed and
shows that the increase in pork was
from 566,995 pounds to 775,645
pounds or 3Sh per cent.
Fish increased over 400 per cent.
There are now 3,32e,94S pounds in
storage in the cold storage houses.
Beef increased to 2,757,720 pounds or
SO per cent. In spite OF lifting of the
ban on poultry for meatless days, to-
gether with the appeal for its use
as a substitute, poultry held in
crease from 283,021 to 464, 5s5
pounds or 5Sh per cent.
Eggs in shells showed q decrease

would consent to an inconclusive
peace. The disposition of Alsace and
Lorraine, for example, was to be left
to a plebiscite. 1t Is the one clause
that seems wholly fair. France
should consent to that and this very
fact is expected to weaken the de-
termination of the French.
England is to pay Germany for the
colonies she has taken, and the
money Is to be used in rehabilitating
France, Belgium, Serbia and Rum-
ania. Such a solution is unthinkable.
The mere fact that Germany recog-
nizes that rehabilitation is neces-
sary, Is admission of her crime. Nor
can America ever consent. to-: this
trading Of dominion over smaller
peoples. 1t Is the very thing she Is
fighting. The question Of the colon
les must be settled separately, and IL
there is any justice left in the world
Germany must pay for the restora-
ton OF the countries she so ruthlessly
devastated, and pay Internationally.
That is a crime that must be atoned
before other peace terms can be even
discussed.
The Russian provinces are to be
independent under a German plan.
Why not under a plan they them
selves select?
Turkey is to remain intact. And
Palestine to be restored and Armenia
to be left to the mercy of the murder
ers who are DISCRIMINATING an entire
race, cold bloodedly and deliberately?
Society can't make peace with a
thief because he promises to give
back part OF his plumber. The world
can't make peace with an outlaw
nation because it offers to give up
part of its booty. The first and
greatest requisite is the assurance
that it will become law abid-
ing. Until that one aim is attained.
all peace discussion is futile. and
once it is attained, nothing much
else should be a bar to the conclusion
Of peace, provided always that the
nations that were ruthlessly overrun
and whose neutrality was so GRIM
inally violated are restored so far
as it is possible.

s Reign of Terror"
Pictures Splendid

\ 'Europe's Reign Of Terror, the
picture offering at the Orpheum the
latter part Of the week, opened
Thursday 70 good crowds. se
The picture Is one OF the best OF
its kind brought to Fargo this sea-
son, and ID unique in that II presents
war scenes from all sides.
Submarine warfare, land fighting,
destruction OF battleships, scenes
from the battle Of the ,Dardanelles,
air battles, as well as pictures of
noted leaders both in Germany and
in the allied countries. are present
ed.
The audiences that witnessed the
picture Thursday evening were ex-
ceptionally well pleased with the en-
tire offering, which bring home the
realities OF Europe's war in q most
forcible and convincing manner.
Al new star of the screen
armament Is coming to the Isis,
theater today for a two days run.
William Fox is presenting her in his
latest photodrama, The Painted
Madonna. She is Sonia Markova,
Russian girl who arrived in the Unit
ed States recently from the country
that Is seething with the results Of
revelation. The girl brings to the
screen not only new face, but also
q sweet one and one showing the
dramatic talent she possesses. She
is called "the Girl with the Big Black
Eyes" and after you see her you
win know the reason.
Her vehicle, The Painted Madonna,
gives her ample opportunity to run
the entire gamut of emotions. 1t
has to do with an artists search for
the beautiful girl who fed from him
after drawing on his canvas a daddy
long legs. Both suffer human misery
during the years that follow.
A rather unique ending has been
arranged by Director Edward Dillon
for Ann Pennington in her newest
Paramount picture, 1.-The Antics OF
Ann" This is a distinct departure
from the conventional ending, which
as a matter of course displays the
hero and heroine in fade out" Of
some romantic love scene.
In 1.-THE Antics of Ann" the cele-
brated little dancer Of "Ziegfield
Follies" fame is seen at the close OF
the film bravely eating biscuits with
her (of course) screen husband. She
made the biscuits herself, and judy
ing from what we have previously
seen Of the fair heroine, fudge would
be distinctly more in her line.
The story is one of the most spon-
taneously humorous Of any Miss
Pennington has so far appeared in. 1t
IS to be shown at the Garrick theater
today and tomorrow.
