Reserve Officers

Wayne county can be proud Of the record her
sons made at the officers reserve training camp
at Fort Benjamin Harrison.
Two of them received commissions as cap
tains, and many Of them received minor appoint
rhents.
Those who were not fortunate enough to re-
ceive an officers commission, may console them
selvese with the thought that they showed their
pluck and patriotism by entering the camp and
trying for the honor.
Many of them will join the army. They will
have no trouble in obtaining positions as non
commissioned officers, for the training at the
camp has given them an advantage that other re-
cruits cannot obtain. They ought to have little
trouble in working their way up to an officers
rank.

Send Him Away with a Smile

The sentiment of the committee that is ar
ranging farewell reception for the drafted men
is worthy of emulation on other occasions.
If a soft answer turneth away wrath, smile
often conquers where crouch fails man
who can smile when he is taking the count, is the
man who can come back.
A smiling regiment of Americans will go far
way to brighten the hearts of the French poilus
who have been in the trenches for three years
and have seen death first hand
If the boys develop the smiling habit before
they leave home, keep it up while they are in the
training camps, and take it across the Atlantic
with them, they will acquire an accomplishment
that will make many dark hour bright and turn
many a discontinue into lark.

Testing Our Health

The number of men rejected because OF phys
ical debility by the CONSUMPTION boards the coun-
try over is less than during the Civil war, accord
ing to army officials. This would indicate that
the race instead of deterioratng has held its own
Medical men have not had time to codify the
results of the national health census, but one
conclusion seems certain, namely, that many who
were rejected had permitted minor defects to be-
come permanent ailments. Many OF the men
were ignorant of the elementary rules OF hygiene
and health, and were suffering from defects that
could have been checked and cured in their incipi-
ency.
The health authorities of the United States
will be in possession of vast amount OF data
when the reports are turned in. 1t will enable
them to obtain facts that ought to be of supreme
Importance in formulating direction and sugges-
ton for the improvement of national health
Of course, many of the men who were reject
ed are not disqualified for hard work Army life
requires the pick of manhood and the very best
physical constitutions. Because man does not
measure up to the stringent requirements of army
tests, is no proof that he is ncapicitated for USE
full service in the industrial commercial indus
trial life of the nation.

The following has been submitted

The following has been submitted:
AS long as our present form of gov
eminent stands, this will continue to
be government Of political parties.
Only through the agency of one of the
two great political parties can an in
dividual voter make His or her full
weight felt. Non-partisanship is we'll
sounding term, but this often well
meant enthusiasm, in ultimate results,
is pretty much the same as the result
Of the efforts of "one who beateth the
air" In purely local affairs there may
he at times a semblance of justification
for non-partisanship, but If the indi-
vidual voter would exercise his full
right of suffrage at all times and take
active part in all party primaries the
result, from the standpoint of better
government, would be infinitely better
than if the voter waited to take part
in an election after undesirable candi-
dates had been chosen probably by all
parties after light primary vote had
been cast.
To the new women voters of 1ndi-
ana this appeal is made: Identify
yourself with some political party.
Study carefully the fundamental prin-
ciples of all parties, and after you have
come to a conclusion, become an ac-
live integral in the party of your
choice and pledge yourself always to
vote, in party primary, caucus or con-
vention, when the opportunity pre-
;ents itself.
Influences already are busy trying
to convince the women voters of In
diana that they should be "non-par-
tisan" 1t will not be difficult to con-
vince your friends that they should
never become a part of force that
could be moved in any direction that
designing politicians might indicate.
Be a full-fledged voter and when you
reach this height you will be an &C
tive, alert and influential members of
some we'll organized political party.

THE PROBLEM PARAMOUNT

With the cry growing ever stronger
for an unprecedented increase in
acreage planted to food crops this
year, the problem of providing seed
for the farmers is one of vital i'm
portance and every days delay means
a decrease in production which will
swell to mammoth proportions in even
a weeks time. Banks, elevators, COM
mercial bodies and organizations of
every class which have the public
welfare at heart have united to give
all the assistance that lies in their
power, that increased farm production
may be realized, working at the same
time for greater city lot cultivation.
Dickinson bankers have come to the
fore in this time of stress, and this
week gave assurance that they would
extend every aid to all worthy appli-
cants, those who are unable to finance
production and those who cannot
raise funds for increasing their al
ready large acreage. Local financiers
I up in arms because Of a report
which was sent the Federal Re-
serve Bank in Minneapolis, to the eff
feet that they had refused to cooper
ate in furnishing funds to the farmers.
They declare that they stand ready

to assist any person who needs funds
or seed to raise a crop.
Local elevators have been doing all
within their power to enable the farm
ers to procure seed. w. ]. Motley,
manager of the Farmers Cooperative
Elevator Company, personally has aid
ed to the extent Of several hundred
dollars in enabling the farmers to
get seed for the spring planting, and
the elevator company has also assisted
all applicants for seed. Mr.. Motley
asserts that if the farmers will file
their applications at once for seed
which they require it will be possible
to get another carload of good seed
wheat. He declares, however, that the
growers must cooperate with the COM
pany by making their wants known as
soon as possible.
The Russell-Miller Milling Company
announces also that it has about $500
bushels of good seed wheat IN hand,
which it will sell at the market price
or trade for inferior wheat. This
grain is of SO per cent termination
test.
The state of North Dakota and the
national government must act i'm
mediately and make greater efforts to
relieve the situation, as seeding time
is here, and a delay of a few days
would mean a loss in Stark county
alone of hundreds Of thousands of
bushels. Cooperation of the banks,
the elevators and all commercial
bodies is vital. The nation will need
food as never before in it's history,
and nothing should be left undone in
the effort to raise a record crop this
year..

With the nation at war, it is all i'm
portant that citizens of this country
become proficient in the use of
arms, and a valuable aid to acquiring
this proficiency is practice in range
rifle shooting. Now is the time when
rifle clubs throughout the country are
of inestimable benefit, and any boost
which may be given these organiza-
tions is a step forward in prepared
ness. Efforts are to be made to in
crease membership of the Dickinson
Rifle Club, and citizens of the city
should help along the movement in
every way possible. Join if you can,
but at all events, boost it along.

raised for support of baseball during
the coming season, Dickinson slumb-
ers on, not a chirp being heard as to
placing a team in the field for 1917.
Whiting, splitting at a crack and
tatting are all very we'll as indoor
sports during the frigid season, but
they are usually considered rather
tame as summer pastimes, and are
usually associated with moss, rust and
weeds in the main street.
When baseball does not flourish in
a city in the summertime, you can lay
a bet that the livest place in that par
ticular burg is the graveyard, that the
happiest man in town is the under
taker, and that the average natives
idea of a joy ride is a calm jaunt in
a hearse with the winds whispering
through the plumes and the mourners
ambling on behind. And this is not
that kind of a municipality. At least,
it has never been in the past, and let's
not let it be said to u shame that
this sad state of affairs has at last
come to pass.
Let's get out and boost for a real
diamond representation here this year,
and let's have a rousing campaign
that will raise the money needed for
financing a team. It's the biggest ad
a town ever had, and at the lowest
possible advertising rate. Put the tat
ting in the mothballs and let's play
baseball awhile.

Food stuffs are steadily raising in
price. Flour, potatoes, vegetables,
beef and pork have never been as
high as they r at present and the
end is not yet. It is an absolute GER
tainty that these high prices will
continue until long after the war is
over, 80 no n need have any appre-
hension about seeding every foot of
available land to foodstuffs or feed, or
to buy cattle or hogs.

The large milling companies antici-
pate a marked shortage in wheat
next fall and are urging farmers to
sow as large an acreage Is possible.
Prices are sure to remain high, and
there is every reason to believe that
$3.50 or better will be the ruling
price for wheat next fall. Steps are
now under way to guarantee that the
price will not go below this mark.

PLANT THAT GARDEN

People of a nation are prone, in
the hysterical moments following a
declaration of war, to lose sight of
all save the mar with the gun. They
give but a feeting thought to the
second line of defense, the stay-at-
home, who in his humble way remains
at the plow, the loom and the forge,
that those who go forth to fight their
country's battles may be clothed, fed
and armed. He is all but forgotten
in the delirium of the moment.
But the lessons of the present war
bring home more forcibly than ever
that the man in the trenches must be
well fed, properly clothed and have
the best of fighting equipment. And
the greatest of all these needs is
food.
And the farmer is the mar who
must provide this food. Every inch
of land which will bring forth a crop
must be utilized this year, as never
before, and each one can do his part;
in. fact, must do his part. Every lit
tie garden spot which is planted this
year will do it's share toward lessen
ing the danger Of famine.
Are you, people of Dickinson, will
ing to do your share to the end that
this nation and it's defenders may be
properly fed? We know that the citi-
ZEN Of this city are not one whit be-
hind the people of any other COM
munity in patriotism and that they
will do their share. Plant every back
yard and vacanat lot, turn every pos
sible tract of ground into a garden,
and you will be as truly helping your
country as though you were on the
battle line, facing the shells of the
enemy. And do it Now.

immigration figures show that the
Great Northwest is more and more

PERFECT ANSWER TO
U-B0AT TERROR FOUND

The Philadelphia Press publishes
a story to the effect that America
has found the perfect answer to the
German submarine terror" 1t is said
to be a merchant submarine stand
ardized at about $500 or 5000 tons
dead weight, of such speed that it
can, even when submerged, easily
elude any surface pursuer and non
sinkable.
The craft, the invention of Simon
Lake, according to the Press, is, ca
pable of submerging within half a
minute and has been so standardized
and simplifed that the first one
may be turned out in four months
and others after that at the rate of
three or four per week. 1t will burn
oil and the construction is said to be
such that its parts can be made sim
ultaneously in many widely separted
steel plants.
