Now that the winter season is set
ting in in dead earnest Langdon is
beginning to appreciate, both in the
home circle and the constantly recur-
ring social event, the absence Of fifty
or more of s"our boys" who have
within the past few months proffered
their services to their country, either
in the army or naval service Of Uncle
Sam. With the approach of the holt
day season the feeling of lonesomeness
will extend into not less than three
hundred homes lin Cavalier county.
1t is as we'll to bear in mind that this
~lonesomeness is not only felt in the
homes here, but extends into some
far away training camp, very likely
Camp Dodge or Camp Greene, or
maybe "somewhere in France"
where there is a boy who in his spare
moments is letting his thoughts wander
back to the fireside of the folks here
at home in old Cavalier county. Don't
for a moment think that the feeling
of loneliness is all being experienced
by those who were left behind. Re.

Except for the large acreage of rye
that has been sown nearly al! over the
county this fall, there is but little of
the land that will be placed under Gull
tlvation next spring already plowed.
Many of the farmers say that in
their opinion the fall blowing done
this fall when the ground froze up
will not reach half what is done in
The way of fall blowing in an aver

setting in of winter would seem to
have caught many with considerable

Just what the western part of Cav
alier county did in the way of subscrib.
ing for the second issue of the Liberty
Loan Bonds can be realized to some ex-
tent by the glancing over of the list
of those subscribing for bonds in the
last issue of the Sarles Advocate.
There are over two hundred and
twenty ma in the list, and it reads
as though in a number of instances
each member of the family purchased
a Liberty Bond. Sarles was certainly
ready and willing to stand up and be
counted, in the furnishing of both its
quota of men and money in the hour
of its country's greatest need.

~SUPERFLUOUS LEGS.

In all the cries and lamentation that
arise generally about periodical trolley
strikes and in all the solemn deliver
ances of experts upon the subject,
there never is a sign of that sort Of
philosophic perception which might
turn these social phenomena to account
and view the resulting situation logi-
cally as it should be viewed-as an in
centive to walking, says Philadelphia
Bulletin. Nobody wants to walk now
adays. Physicians tell you what an
excellent and invigorating exercise
walking is, even OF city pavements, and
they themselves hustle for a trolley or
a taxicab rather than walk half a dozen
blocks. Legs are becoming a bore.
The day may come when we shall be
actually ashamed Of them. They are
of use now only to tango with and as
appendages adequate to lift one high

heads of the crowd. 1t has required

er than walk ten blocks laboriously
learns golf, a game which he may de-
test, in order to keep fit. And yet, as
physicians and philosophers have al
ways viewed it, walking is better than
any other sort of exercise because it
may be enjoyed alone, without distrac-
tons and with innumerable invitations
to meditation and mental exercise.

1t is exceedingly gratifying to learn
that in so many different localities
over the county the allotted apportion-
ment of Liberty Bonds were over
subscribed. Good old Cavalier county
certainly lined-up at the counter to
buy bonds in a most splendid way.
Even Archie Sillers, the farmer
cashier of the First State Bank of
Calvin, who manipulated the cam
paign in this county, is more than
pleased with the splendid work that
was achieved all over the county in
the "drive' Of the last week of the

The surest form of patriotism Il
sacrifice. 1t is a gift to the common
good. A man may hurrah, wave ban
ners, march in parade and stand when
The Star-Spangled Banner is sung, but
these are not patriotism. One must
give up something; n must suffer to
be patriotic. Then patriotism becomes
a sort of religion. whose spirit is C
ritice. In these days the spirit is up
pcrmoSt. In the volunteer and CON
script it is equally evident. They step
forward as sacrifices to the cause of
humanity and freedom. 1t is a sacred
relation to assume. Every man who
enters the army to meet the great prob
lem Of the age is called of God as
much as st. Paul was. But he must
feel this junction upon his life. The
greatest figure of today is the young
man who goes forth to offer his life
for his country, says Ohio State Jour-
nal. He should feel his divine mis-
sion. lie does the best any mortal can
do-he presents his life for the cause
of truth, honor, justice.

border German

On the eastern border German and Russian soldiers fraternize. r. will be hard for German or Russian officers to get them to fight again. If the German soldier is driven too hard, likely as not he will cross over to "his friends the enemy" and vice versa.
 British murmuring is patent in the careful wording of dispatches and there would appear to be a gen eral reaction in all the nations against war. It appears that those who went proudly forth to conquer the world would be thankful in deed if they could stop this in ferno and return to conditions be- fore the war. The militarist ma chine is cTeaking in all countries. It's perpetual call for sacrifice, foI privation and it's terrific lie about duty to king, kaiser and emperor has about exploded when they watch the protiteers grow fatter and the monarchs grow proude1 while the masses sicken, suffer ana die.
 The world is now ir the melting pot. No man knows what will como forth. Men and things, institutions and kings are being mixed in the terrific smelter where the dross is to be purged.
 The most secure throne is whc1b- ling: divine right is being shot to pieces. The most sacred insritu- tions are being shaken to their foundations. Rights are beinG torn to tatters, parchmen's of pfiviiest a"e being scorchea end shfivelIeG 10 ashes or nothirG1pcs.
 They have sown the wind and now-behold the whirlwind. Just think of what the thoughts of the former Tzar must be in the Tar skoeZelo-if he coud undo what he has done! Consider the feelings Of the Kaiser when he sees his shat tered soldiery and his maimed legi- ons displace the sound upon the fir ing line! Is it any wonder they tell us their nerves are broken down or that they whisper that old Franz Josef went to his grave al last a gibbering idiot.

MODELLING.

It is to be hoped that the more or less serious news coming out of Europe will make a deeper impress sion than does most news upon the people.
 The people there have long since sickened of the war Already the official head of one ruler has been Topped off into the basket of inutil- ities and signs are not wanting that others may follow. Germany is not all unity. There the workers are about satiated with the bloody feast of slaughter and the hungry men and women are in riots cut down with machine guns. Fire and sword stir these nations and in France and England, careful as may be the censorship, things are little better,
 A New York paper, March 5, says in an article by a French so- cialist Military blunders have been mounting for two and one halt years, Every one in France is now anti militarist. Peasants, clerks, workingmen, ParisiG ms, Bretons, soldiers from the invaded regions, men from southern and central France-all.
 In France oS per cent of the SOL diers and civilians wants peace-a lasting peace.
