arms, if adopted by the American
government, which have netted mil
lions of dollars to British manufac-
turers.
When the French commission ar
rived it was learned that the British
models were not in use on the French
front because they were out Of date.
The French offered to supply the
models Of their trench warfare imple-
ments free of cost to the United
States. Was England fighting for
democracy when she tried to put such
a trick across on the Americans?
Mr.. Henning writes in the Tribune
on May 1st, the following:
"That the British fear the worst is
evidenced by the fact that of the
100000 fighting men England has
assembled and trained, 100000 are
being held at home to repel possible
German invasion, while only 2,OOO,-
900. are on the fighting line in France
Great Britton has refused to send an
other 100000 on the ground that the
destruction of shipping by submarines
might make it impossible to return
troops to England in the event Of an
invasion. Now the United States is
commanded to awaken from three
year lethargy and save the allies from
disaster!"
It seems to the writer that England
certainly has plenty of nerve. Did
not England try to assist in killing
democracy when she attempted to as
sist the South during the Civil war
Also, how much democracy did she
fight for and grab when she fought
the Beers? Has England been fight
ing for democracy by holding Ireland
down for years? Why did our govern
ment refuse passports to the three
American Socialist delegates to the
Stockholm peace convention? The
press of this country claimed that this
convention was pro-German. And
the press Of Germany stated that "un-
der the cloak of democratic principles
England's interests are being pres
erved." And the Austrian press fears
that 'tthe Austrian Socialists are GER
tainly only serving entente interests.
It is therefore easy to be seen that 1t
was only pro-intemational.

Let the robbery 60 on for from to

won't have anything to fight about.

l heard money-lover say after he
had closed out homesteader who
had put in ten years of hard labor on
his farm: Why, says he, the home
steader has lost nothing because he
had nothing when he started and is as
we'll off now as then. The farmers of
North Dakota have been going slow
for the last twenty years and they
have seen where they were heading

noticed that at Souris Sandstrom
dug up a string of figures supposed
to be what the railroads made on
cars and passengers on their roads.
Sandstrom submitted no proof that
his figures were for the passenger
traffic of the roads aside from freight.
Anyone can quote string of figures
but that proves nothing. Even the
Grand Forks Herald had not the gall
to try make out that any railroad in
the state made $1,000 per mile on
passenger traffic and when Sandstrom
fired his great bug boo that if the
people of North Dakota had been al
lowed to vote themselves a new con-
stitution that their hired men might
vote the people into lot of wildcat
schemes that would take the peoples
homes from them it fairly put the
cold shivers down my back, like it
did yours to when mother used to tell
me that if l was not good the bogie
man would get me. That kind of stuff
seemed to take with some the way
they clapped.
Sandstrom stated in his closing ad-
dress that if he was sent to Bismarck
again to represent the people he would
not be dictated to by anyone or any
click of men, he showed what kind of
representative he is. He carries
the idea that he is elected to repres-
ent Sandstrom and no one else. No
wonder he voted against allowing the
people to vote whether they were to
have new constitution or not. Mr..
Sandstrom thinks that the average
man should be used as child and that
he don't know what is good for him
and if he sings him little patriotic
talk and tells him his cattle and hors-
es are all thorobreds and kisses his
children and says that his opponents
are all Free Lovers and that he is do
ing the representing business at a
loss of 100000 session-but you can
have his services or not, as you please.
But he wants it strictly understood
that if he goes he is to represent
Sandstrom.
When l heard him say in the barn
at the fair grounds that he was out
100000 | wanted to get right up and
pass the hat so as to raise that $4,000
and l might have done it if had not
heard of some Of the petitions sent
to him to get him to vote for Bill "a.

toner's that thought that Sandstrom
was representing them they might
have fixed me so that / couldn't sit

. COMMUNICATION.

Will you kindly grant space for
the following.
We are told these days that we are
in this war for the sake of democracy.
The writer is not a German and never
has sympathized with the German
autocratic class who are the cause OF
this war and who are conducting it.
The German common people believe
in and desire peace. About this there
can be no question. Karl Liebknecht,
the German Socialist representative,
who stood firm in favor of the true
socialistic philosophy and principals
of international brotherhood and
peace and against the present war for
which Germany stands condemned be-
fore the world of moral thought was
tried and sentenced to prison by the
imperialist bunch of that country. AT
the special election called in the dis
trict which he represented to elect
someone to occupy his place (which
is the Kaiser's home district) another
socialist, who is an ardent advocate
of peace was elected by an enormous
majority. The result certainly shows
where the German people of the Kai-
ser's home district stand on the war
question. There are several matters
of Importance that the officials OF our
government should act upon immedi-
ately.
For instance, why do they not pass
a law which will allow the conscriptlon
of all incomes of $4,000 and over? 1t
we are fighting for democracy let US
fight along democratic lines. AS we
have conscription Of human beings 1t
would certainly be along the lines OF
democracy to conscript fortunes. The
newspapers of the country tell US that
thew are in favor of democracy. They
print long editorials about killing the
German Imperialism by crushing mil
itarism. Yet all of these same papers
advocate editorially universal training
Of the young men of this country al
ter the war. In other words, it would
seem that they want to kill militar-
ism in Germany and establish it IN
this country.
Militarism is without doubt the abb
solute enemy of democracy. The
writer sympathizes with France and
Belgium but questions the actions OF
England in doing her bit toward this
worldwide fight for democracy.

Chicago Tribune Of May 8, occurs in

GIVE CANNING
A FAIR TRIAL

"Don't judge the success of canning
by your first effort with whatever
product you happen to find in market
when you begin operations" says a
statement just issued by the United
States department of agriculture. 1T
is more than likely that If you were
beginner at canning you started with
strawberries, the first fruit available.
If you did you should realize that
strawberries are one Of the most diff
ticult of all products to can satisfac-
torily. 1t is next to impossible, in fact,
to can this fruit, as distinguished from
preserving it Tin which case a much
larger proportion Of sugar is usedD, so
that it's color, size, and texture will be
preserved.
1T is normal, If ordinary canning
practices are followed, to have straw
berries shrink, turn more or less brown,
and float to the top Of the Jars. The
product is palatable, however, and will
keep perfectly if the sterilization has
been done properly.
"Don't feel, therefore, that your
strawberry canning Is a failure. Above
all, don't become discouraged and fear
that all your canning will be unsatis-
factory. Practically every vegetable
and fruit worth canning may be canned
and kept in condition fairly compar-

Worlds Largest Organ, in
Great English Cathedral,
Is to Have 1867 Pipes

The largest organ in the world is
Mt Liverpool. 1t is the gift of Mrs.
James Barrow of Waterloo, near Liver
pool. Started in January, 1913, it was
to take four years to complete. Says
London Tid-Bits:
This organ will have five manuals,
167 speaking stops, and 215 draw stop
knobs, and total of 1O,567 pipes. The
action itself will be electro-pneumatic
and tubular-pneumatic on the Willis
system. The keys will be laid with
heavy plates Of ivory without surface
Joints and the key frames will be of
ebony. The music desk, draw stop and
pedal jambs Of console will be made
Of rosewood and the pedal board will
be made Of teak. The four tremulants
will be rather unique, inasmuch as the
player will be able to regulate the
rapidity Of the vibrato at will by means
of pedal. The blowing will be done
by seven separate installations and
each separate installation will be cleo
trically blown, and the speed will be
automatically controlled by the rise
and fall of the main reservoir. The
starting and stopping will be easily ac-
complished at the console by simply
pressing three sets Of push buttons.
Now, probably most people will think
that the organ will be altogether too
large, but when the size of the cathe-
dral is taken into consideration, it will
be readily seen that the organ will by
no means be out Of proportion. The
total length Of the cathedral is 60 feet,
width across the main transepts 200
feet and the height from the floor to
the apex of groining 115 feet.

Mrs. Margaret M. John, formerly a
neighbor Of Mrs. Prentice, testified:
"Mrs. Prentice told me she thought
a great deal Of Rose. She said that
sometimes she gave Rose 25 or so
cents, but did not pay her any wages.
Just for a treat, Mrs. Prentice said,
she would take Rose to the cemetery

Food MASTERS Branded as
DisIoya| to Country by
Head of Camp Fire Girls

That people who waste food are as
bad as those who overeat, was the as
sertion made to Camp Fire girls by
DR.. Luther Gulick, national president.
Doctor Gulick continued:
eve should look upon such persons
who are willing as hosts to take the
best of the food on the table, leaving
our guests, the allies, to get anything
they can, as disloyal to our country"
The list Of suggestions for patrlotc
manners follows: Save and use ev'
ery scrap of bread or other wheat
product; use meat or eggs but once
q day; use all leftover bits OF meat
and bones for soup, stews and hashes;
use corn in place of wheat to consid-
cradle extent; buy only the food you
need; clean out all bread and cake
bowls and dishes used for cooking
cereals with spatula; scrub the po'
tatoes and eat the skins; do not have
many things to eat at one meal; nave
only two courses at meals; use rice
instead of potatoes; use rice water
for SOUPS; spaghetti and macaron1 take
the place of potatoes; use the less ex-
pensive and more nourishing cuts Ok
meat; use little butter; leave no scraps
on your plate; don't help yourself to
more than you can eat; when serving
food make the portions small; use veg.

in your own garden; can all fruits for
yourself; in the fall gather all edible

Poultry Pointers.

Never allow broods of chicks to be
mothered by any except clean, healthy
hens, for filthy, diseased mothers carry
sickness and death to the youngsters.
A chick with lice will stand and cry,
or drop it's heal as if sleeping while
standing up, but the fault may be with
the disposition of the hen. If she is
not naturally a good mother, there is
no remedy but to get rid Of her in the
brood yard.
Fowls are not likely to contract
tuberculosis from domestic animals or
from man, yet birds that have had
the disease are serious menace to
other farm animals, as well as the
poultryman and the family.
Do not neglect to give room to the
growing chicks. At six weeks, the
chicks are independent Of the brooder,
and may be put in cold brooders or
colony houses. Their inclination on
cool nights will be to crowd. Piling
up means trouble. For this reason it
is best to have not more than twenty
in q group.
Let your poultry have the free range
of your orchard. There they will not
only find the shade so grateful to them
in hot weather, but they will feed on
multitudes of insects which may be in
furious to trees and shrubbery.

some slangy phrases that would
make us feel less blue, but say
the stuff I handed out would

Of course it does no good to
try to frown the hours away-to
deprecate all pleasure and to

this war is mentioned, it seems
infinitely small to talk in
flippant terms, or cen, perhaps,
to talk at all except to plan

OBLIGATION RESTS UPON THOSE AT
HOME AS WELL AS SOLDIERS At FRONT
BY REV. CHARLES STELZlE

For those who cannot go to war-as
we'll as those who will go to the 'front.'
there is a distinct obligation to dedi-
cate themselves to the task of helping
on the great new brotherhood of the
world.
This brotherhood will be founded
upon the revolution which is sweeping
through every country on the globe,
and which is working itself out through
the war, from the effects Of which no
nation can escape.
Nor can this movement for the BROTH
erhood of man be retarded by petty
hates and spites or by the ambitions
and intrigues of kings and cabinets and
the heartless Vaccinations Of con-
temptuous politicians.
For hundreds of years the race Of
men has been getting ready for this
world brotherhood. And all the signs
point toward the fulfillment of the
noble ideals which has been vaguely,
though persistently floating through
the hearts and minds of those who,
each in their day and generation,
brought their contributions toward this
world democracy.
The Russia Of hundreds of years Is
no more-the car is gone forever.
The Germany Of generations has closed
itself into be opposed by every for
ward-looking nation, and by the larger
minded Germans themselves, until 1T
has been crushed for all time.
England - self-confident, self-satis-
fed, luxurious, with class spirit highly
developed-though sound at heart
has seen the need Of closer and SIN
cerer cooperation with the wider-vis-
toned nations of earth.
Observation-Disclosures and gay, often
careless-although it had the blood of
heroes and martyrs in it's veins-can
never again be what it was.
