WAR ON BARBERRY

Barberry eradication underline
direction of the Department of
Agriculture and Labor. North

ously in evey part of the State.
The Department of Agricul.
ture and Labor thru it's special
agents is endevoring to locate
every barberry bush or hedge
within the State and ordering it
destroyed wherever found. This
eradication is carried on in order
to enforce the Barberry Law
(Senate Bill No. 1867, which pro-
vides for the desutrction of all
the common barbarries in the
State of North Dakota, as it has
peen Scientifically demonstrated
that they carry the spring stage
of the black rust of wheat.
1t is to be noted that the Jap
anese Barbarry (Barberis Thun-
bergii) is exempt under the law
and thus it is only the common
barbarry (Barberis Vulgaris)
that must be dug out and dis
troyed.
The Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Labor or his agents
will gladly answer any inquiries
about Identification of the shrub
or any other matter pertaining
to this law.
The Department hopes that
everybody will cooperate in dis
troying this wheat pest, and
thus help produce a bigger
and better crop for North Dak-
ota than ever before.

MAN DIED MONDAY

Ed. Hobson, of Parkers Prairie,
Mimi, who has been employed
at the r. Gunkel farm this
spring, died some time early
Monday morning. The man had
been attending a "Tea Party"
Sunday afternoon and when he
returned home that evening re.
fused to come out of the wagon
in which the trip was made.
Later in the evening another
attempt was made to get him to
come into the house and 20 to
bed but he could not be aroused
so blankets were brought and he
was covered up where he lay.
Along toward morning, when
the rain started, parties went
out intending to carry him into
the house if he could not be
awakened, and the discovery
was made that he was dead. The
authorities were notified at once
and Coroner Heimark came down
from Finley. After examining
the body he decided that an in.
quest was unnecessary. Under
taker Washburn prepared the
body for burial and it was shipp-
ed to the home of the deceased
for interment.

THEY ARE LOYAL
Miami Herald)

Naturally, in a time of war, there
is an excitement that often leads
men to do and say the things that
they would not under more peaceful
conditions.
Two things ought to be clearly
and calmly kept in mind. This coun-
try is not at war with the German
people. AS President Wilson said.
our sympathies are entirely with the
people of Germany. who by long
wears of education have been de-
ceiyed into supporting au autocratic
and INSCRIPTIONS government. Our
fight is not with them, but with the
autocracy that is Just as much their
enemy as ours. We should. there
fore. have no hate in our hearts for
the German people, AMI we have
none Neither should we be susplc-
ions of those who were German born
or who are the sons and daughters Of
German parents. those who have be-
come naturalized, who have cast
their lives and fortunes with us.
neither should we be unjust to those
Of the same parentage who are not
naturali2ed. and yet live among us.
There will be much said against
our German population that ought
not to be said; suspicious will be
harbored against innocent people,
that ought not to be harbored, and an
inflamed condition of the public mind
might lead us into doing those things
that we, as a civilized people. would
always regret.
The German who has lived among
us as a citizen. is as loyal to the
American flag as the rest of us. He
has demonstrated that loyalty before,
in war, and would do it again, if nee
essary We must, however, remem-
Der that the German still retains,
and should retain. love for the faith
erland for the land where his people
live and from which he sprang. We
would think less of him than we do
If he could forget the place of his
birth
But as between the German flag
and the American flag the German
American can be depended upon to
fight for the stars and the stripes.
One of the finest things that have
been said on that subject is quoted
in a recent number of the New York
Sun, giving part of an address by
