ZEPS FOR TRANSPORT IN PEACE

The Germans, says a Copenhagen dispatch, recognizing tie
failure of Zeppeins in war, are now planning a more peaceful
use for their airships. a Berlin telegram states that aerla'
traffic will be developed to a great eXtent.after the war, and u
bill to this effect is shortly to be introduced embOdying plans
formed by the Information Air Traffic society. According to
this program the main airship routes viii be Hamburg, Berlin,
Vienna and Strassburg, and Karlsruhe, Dresden, Prague and
Vienna. From Vienna the line will be continued to Budapest
and Constantinople. Branch lines will be established in all di-
rectons in Germany and Austria.

NO TIME FOR HECkLING

Women engaged in picketing the White House have hif-
erto been content with making fools of themselves. Last We'd
nesday they displayed Il banner at its gates addressed "To me
Russian Nation" on which was written "President Wilson and
Envoy Root are deceiving Russia. They say we are a democracy.
Help us win a world war so that demOcracies may survive.
In so doing these women tried to make fools of the American
people and help our enemies. This will not deceive or infll-
ence our Russian guests. 1t is easy to explain the incident to
them. but when some garbled story about it reaches Petrograd
it NAV not be so easy for the truth to overtake the lie. Having
abused the license they have been permitted to enjoy, these Wo-
men should be suppressed as common nuisances if they again
attempt to hang around the White House. Patience has ceased
TO be a virtue.

PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT FOOD

Too many men in congress or editorial chairs do not
know the American farmer or agricultural conditions. 1heS
lei! the farmer what he should do without knowing that he
can do or what he is willing to do. James A. Patten, The Chi
caeo grain merchant, who does know the American farmer, tells
his ill-advised advisors: "You can talk humanity all you vii
aud patriotism all you want to, but only the appeal to the peck
etbook will make the farmer grow wheat. Better put a mini
mum price on wheat to guarantee the farmer a good profit"
Farmers are not gamblers. They take enough chances ON
drought, storms, insests and prices in the ordinary course Of
events without the risk of raising more wheat than can be sold
at a profit. They are taking the usual chances, but the only
way to secure avery large acreage of wheat is to guarantee a
fair minimum price.
We hear much about eating more corn and feeding less tc
cattle and hogs. More corn should be eaten by human beings
but livestock should not eat a bushel less. This country can
easily produce more corn, but the people cannot eat it will
relish in the form of bread, mullins, cake, etc. in place of
wheat flour products unless plenty of fats or butter is used in
cooking and eating it. No cook has ever yet baked anything
made of corn that is fit to eat without using fat of some sort,
and most people want plenty of butter on it. The hog supplies
the fat and the cattle the butter, and corn is usually the cheap
est food for both.
To make sure of plenty of food congress should guarantee
minimum prices and assist the farmers in financing the rails
ing of grains and livestock. The disposition to do so is appar-
ent in Washington and the bills now before congress contain
such provisions. The danger lies in the efforts of some OF
ponents of the administration to draw a herring across the
track. If the debate is prolonged the extra acreage of winter
wheat will be lost.
Let those who live in cities pray, like the little girl in Hans
Anderson's fairy tale, Give us this day our daily bread, with
plenty of butter on it."-EXchange.

INVENTIONS TO HELP WIN WAR

and a member of the Italian war commission, has placed heforn
the United States authorities a new field wireless outfit that
can be handled by one man. Though am here on a political
mission, nope and believe that the United States government
will adopt this system" he said. at has proved wonderful u
The outfit is said to weigh only about twelve pounds and can
be operated with one hand. 1t has IA transmission radius of
several miles. Captain MarcOni said it was impossible for him
to give further details of its construction at this time. Army
Officers to whom he has explained the workings are quoted as
predicting that "it will mean as much to the military world as
wireless telegraphy meant to the commercial world" 1t has
been instrumental in frustrating attempted surprise attacks
by Austrians on Italian forces, according to the inventor.

Sterling on Liberty Loan Bonds

Senator Thomas Sterling spoke
for the liberty bonds Wednesday
afternon at the Opera House, and
in the evening gave the four minute
talk at the picture show. The sem
ator reviewed the important mea-
sures that congress had enacted,
and asserted that the congress just
closed would go down in history as
having handled more vital questions
then any other legislative body
convened in the land. He also pre-
sented the truth that the war was a
battle for fundamental principles,
with autocracy and militarism on
one side. democracy and civilization
on the other. As a self-respecting
nation we had no choice but to ac-
cept the gage Of lattle thrown
down to US by the imperial govern
ment of Germany.

and treasure may triumph and our
efforts be blessed with high achieve

house and is endeavoring to keep
it a wholesome place of enter
tainment. You can help in this
matter by giving you patronage to
all of the high class things that he

that CUP OF TEA
The Beverage that ExhlIer ates But
Does Not IntOxlCdte

Emil Johnson, of the Erlandson
& johnson Co., in talking with US
the other day said that he did not
lay claim to any particular quailn-
cations except in one line. He
/ was aware that there were men
who could preach better than he
could, that there were others who
knew more about politics. and there
were others who could fight better
than he could, but it always made
his good Swede blood boil when
any one pretended to sell a tea as
good as the c.. E. w. which he has
been selling for the past thirty
years. Lots of people think | am
a queer sort of fellow, Emil says,
and some Of them may not love me,
because | never pretended to be
much of lady's man, or much of
a sport, but they all like my tea,
and are bound to have it. Old
residents Of Milbank and Grant
county who moved away from here
years ago. when speaking Of the
old town always mention Johnson's 8
tea, and some of them have kept
up a correspondence with him dur
ing all these years, with tea as the
interesting subject. Many Of these
people have been able to wean them
selves away from all the old associ-
ations by forming new connections
and friendships, but they have
never been able to wean themselves
away from Johnson's tea. Here is
a sample of the letters he receives
every once in a while:

Patriotic Schools.

The public schools are nurseries
of patriotism. Do you remember
that it was from the city high
school the first enlistments came in
response to the president call for
volunteers, and really the first
awakening to the fact that we were
at war was when these boys left in
q body for their military duties.
The boys had come fresh from
their books that told the story Of
Bunker Hill and Lexington, of
Chickamaugua and Gettysburg and
the glorius deeds of the countless
American heroes who had died to
make men free in every war in
which the republic has ever en-
gagged. Can you wonder that their
blood was fired with noble desire.
They would have been unworthy
the heritage handed down to them
had they not felt the impulse for
patriotic service. And so the
high school students the past week
felt called upon to show their pat
riotism in the purchase Of liberty
bonds. AS noted in another col
umn, the senior class has taker
a 500 bond. and following then
the sophon ores, freshmen. anG

to be behind hand, have purchase

Must Silt and Grade Wheat

The elevator managers have re-

grade all wheat purchased. Fol-
lowing is a letter sent out by the
state board of railroad commission
ers stating that the board will in
sist upon sitting and grading wheat
by the elevator men before purchas.
ing:
Board Of Railroad Commissioners.
Pierre, Oct Is, 1917.
SGentlemen:
Numerous complaints have been
received in this office to the effect
that elevators in many places are
failing to comply with the provi-
sions of Chapter 368 Of the Laws
Of 1913 of this state relating to
weights and measures This stat
ute. as you are undoubtedly aware,
prescribes the unit or standard
measure for all kinds Of grain and
seeds. Section 3 of the at pre-
scribes the number of pounds
which shall constitute a bushel of
the different kinds Of articles
shown. Sections and S Of the
statute provide in substance that
before any dockage can be made
for dirt or other foreign matter in
grain, seeds or other agricultural
products a careful sitting and
grading shall be made of the COM
modify offered for sale and that
no greater dockage shall be taken
than the proportion the mixture of
dirt bears to, the contents to be
docked, and also provides that it
shall be unlawful in buying to take
any greater number Of pounds to
the bushel than is allowed in the
act.
The complaints that have come
TO the board indicate that in both
respects the statute is being violat-
ed in some instances. That is, for
example. buyers are taking more
than sixty pounds of wheat to the
bushel and are taking more than
thirty-two pounds Of oats and
more than forty-eight pounds of
barley, etc. These complaints also
indicate that in addition to taking
an excess number Of pounds to the
bushel. dockages are being made
without any sitting or grading Of
the grain and the amount Of dock
age is entirely an estimate. OF the
buyer. In some cases it is report
ed that both excess weight and an
additional dockage are taken.
You are advised that the Board
of Railroad Commissioners and the
Market Commission will be obliged
to enforce the provisions of Chap
ter 36S of the Laws Of 1913. The
matter has already been submitted
to the Attorney General and we
are advis ed that states attorneys in
the several counties will be request
ed to see to it that the require
ments of this law are observed.
This circular letter is being sent
to all elevators including those
against which complaints have been
made as we'll as those against which
no complaints have been made. It
is sent for the purpose Of directing
the attention of all elevators to the
statute.
Yours very truly,
H. A. Ustrud. Secretary.
