Fatted calf Is a Sheep.

cSyrla is probably the only country
wherein the fatted calf is still-meta-
phorieally speaking-killed. 1t comes
about In this way: Each family Sc
lects from its flock a particularly fine
sheep. sas 1t sheared and brought intG
the house at the beginning OF winter.
1t is washed and most carefully kept
while lhelng fattened with selected
food. Sc overfed is the animal that
fhe owner helps 1t work Its tired jaws
During mastication In order to COM
Idete the fattening process When
some distinguished visitor arrives. or
some great event transplres, the sheep
is killed. "a the Syrian people eat
only fresh-killed meat, never refrige-
rated meat, The entire animal must at
once be disposed of--cooked-so 1t
can be stored for future consumption.

RELY ON AMERICAN GUNNER
People Of Country Expect Much From
Him as Result Of Accuracy
Shown in Past.

Americans will rely upon the
American gunner in the war. Ger
mans will be surprised by his ac-
curacy, observes the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal. The Spanish-American
war was not great war, but it served
to prove the capability Of the Ameri-
can behind the naval gun. Germans
may turn to the history of the de-
struction Of Cervera's feet if they
would discover the fact.
The news that the first periscope
which came into view from the decks
of the American steamer Mongolia
was cleanly hit at 1000 yards is in
spring news, but not astonishing
The reported hit is the sort OF a hi
a keen-eyed American gunner vel
seasoned by target practice woulC
make in actual warfare. There is M
doubt that the American gunner will
shoot as coolly and as straight at
German periscope as at naval tar
get. Yankee cool-headedness in ac
tion is to be expected. Yankee bril-
hancy in action can be looked for
ward to as a matter of course.

Great Financial Thorouahfsre Once
Path Along Barrier Built by Dutch
70 RepeI Indians.

Uptown New York is a checker
board, but downtown is a crazy quilt
and its streets show, bit by bit, the
character and color Of the old city.
In the same way the street names
tell its history. Every blue and white
lamppost sign is the title of chap
ter. Each tells in a word OF two a
story of Dutch New Amsterdam or
Of English New York OF Of the little
city Of 1776 whose citizens didn't
bother to change its royal name,
though they pulled the king from his
pedestal in Bowling Green, says a
writer in the Guaranty News.
Lower New York is a small dis
trict-perhaps a mile each way-yet
even this little triangle is at least
twice as large as the early Dutch
city. For New Amsterdam's north
ern boundary-its extreme cup
town" lmit-was a "waal' which
ran across the island from river to
river where the financial business of
New York has its center today. 1t is
incongruous to think of Wall street
as the outskirts of anything, least Of
all of its own district.
The "waal" was built to protect
the Dutch burghers from Indians;
path followed the wall houses were
built along the path, whereby it at
tanned the dignity of ''straat." In
1864 the English won the city des-
tined to be ours in only little more
than century--and .anglicized
"T'Wall STRAIT" into Wall street. In
1776 the Sons of Liberty found that
name harmless enough, and other
Americans have kept it through a
revolution and through a century
and a half of business growth.

NATION OUT OF TRAINING
Business Men Of Today Have Lost the
Physique Of Their Predecessors,
Gained by Hard Work.

A trade association had a banquet
the other day and, following the
usual practice, had its picture taken
at the tables. The photograph is an
interesting exhibition Of the national
physique. Not one banqueter in ten
looked as if he were in training, few
looked as if they could climb flight
Of stairs without putting like switch
engine, declares the Toledo Bee.
Now the predecessors of these
men in the trade were a lean and
hungry lot. They had muscles be-
cause they had to saw wood for their
wives kitchen fires. They could walk
miles and miles without weariness,
because, for one thing, most Of them
had been soldiers and, for another,
because they had to keep hustling in
order to keep from starving. The
struggle for existence put those men
in training. They worked IA hours
day, ate farm hands breakfast
and slept like children.
We have marvels in the way of ath-
letes and many thousands of citizens
who get their athletics by looking on.
We have institutions for putting
men into condition and untold hun
dreds of men out of condition. We
have prosperity, and flabbiness, lux
ury and nervous prostration and a
score of other diseases Of soft living.

Fighting Huns Instead of Fire
Flag Purchased by Firemen.

The city fire department has on dis
play a magnificent service flag 6x9
feet and carrying eight stars each of
which represents a member who has
joined some branch of the military
service of the government. The flag
was purchased by the volunteer fire
men of the city, and is commemora-
tive of the number of men who have
been identified with the work and are
now carrying guns and wearing khaki.
The stars on the flag represent the
following men:
William OLeary, first lieutenant,
164th Infantry, 51st division, now in
France.
George Marsh, sergeant in same
company.
William Holt, corporal in same COM
pany.
Neil Wheeler, corporal in same COM

too complicated for solution outside
a decision by the supreme court of the
United States and we have our doubts
if the same is worth the expense ne
cessary to carry this case to the
supreme tribunal Of the land.
The bond issue carried and that
without the help of any swivel chaired
patriot who goes to Washington with
Haunting banners proclaiming the fact
that Imperial Ward county is impover-
ished and begging the aid of a govern
ment that already has troubles of it's
own. We are glad that Minot had
a man in the person of A. A. Robin
son who went quietly to work and
outlined means whereby Ward coun-
ty may help itself. Ward county is
not bankrupt by any manner of means
and consequently is not asking favors
of the outside world. We are album
dainty able and ready to take care Of
ourselves. Patriot Carol, however,
took different slant at the matter
and availed himself of another oppor-
tunity to exploit Carol. The coun-
try is chock full of patriotic citizens
who are lying awake nights thinking
up some scheme whereby they may
get little publicity for themselves
provided Uncle Sam pays the expense.

of Minot poor children, as we'll as
those whose fathers are in the service
of their country. The Valet has Sc
cured the names of the poor children of
the city from the teachers of the Mi
not schools, and the clothing of these
children will be taken care of free.
The Board of Directors of the Nat

vote the week between Christmas and

dren's clothing. There is no question
but what many diseases are spread by
unclean clothing worn week after
