The conscr iption bill has finally
been passed by congress and signed by
the president. A compromise was
made on the age limit, which was
fixed at 21 to 80 years. June 9Th is
fixed as registration and on that day
ali men between the ages mentioned
will be required to register, and from
this list the first selection will be
made. The estimated number eligible
in this state is eighty thousand men,
an estimate considered rather high
conside ring our total population.

Ravinia Park is to Chicago what
the Chautauqua is to hundgeds of COM
munites in the Middle West. A dis
position to close this park during the
war brings the following plea to
Save Ravinia Park" from the Chi
cago Tribune:
Americans hope this war will not
be wasted. They want to find the
American Republic strengthened by
il, enriched by it, paid for the sacri-
fees involved in it, and emerging
from it q better nation for the people
who will constitute it. They want it
to have, a. the result Of this sacrifice,
not only mure sscure Life but q

The arrest last week of Rudolph
Flamindinge at Los Angeles, Cal, !,
seems to have been a rich haul. He
was charged with being a German
spy, and from information that he
has given, it appears that the coun-
try is divided into ten secret service
districts each having a chief, and
numerous subordinates. Communica-
tion between the various heads is
carried on by means Of code system.
operated by carriers. It is believed
that through the information received
a roundup can be made of all the
secret service operatives in the coun-
try.

A Report on Rotation Of Crops.

lhatlenal crsp Improvement Ssrsiee.1
The tenth annual report of the
North Dakota Demonstration Farms
is ready for distribution. The crops
are rotated on these farms. The re-
suits indicate that rotation Of crops
pays. The average wheat yield was
29M bushels. This wheat was in most
cases followed by corn that had been
manured. Oats 5s1z bushels, barley
S7A. rye 111s; alfalfa as tons per
acre. The rotation practiced on each
farm is given in the report as well as
detailed account Of just how each
0eld was handled.

better life. They want to burn out
the dross and leave the fine gold.
They want the national character "a
be stimulated and refined. they hope
that nation at once more muscular
and more esthetic, Of higher moral
and more sensitive artistry, will be
the result Of meeting pain and sub
mitting to punishment. II life is not
to be made more worth while ia
America because Of the pain which
Americans must meet, then the whole
scheme Of sacrifice is wrong. If it is
to be more worth living then the
scheme is right.
Pork chops are not worth defend
ing. If the life consists Of getting
them and. eating them, then the SOON
er life is terminated the better. Real
estate and radishes are not worth a
single mans life, and no mans life
would be worth while If there were
merely real estate and radishes, cabs
bage and kings, three squares and
eight hours sleep life which reach
ed its high spots in card playing. danc-
ing and sensuality.
This homily precedes a plea for
Ravina Park. War time economies
are suggesting that the funds which
have supported this home Of summer
music near Chicago be diverted to the
more practical demands Of emergency.
It is merely to be suggested that the
life which we hope will be enhanced
by sacrifice is served in peace times
BY such institutions as Ravinia.
This institution has been built up,
in spite of encouragement, until now
it stands as servant Of the. better
things in American impulses. We
believe in tough bodies and refined
minds. Universal service will pro-
duce tough bodies. An Institution
such as Ravinia park will produce
refined minds.
1t would not be- good economy to
lose in war time and because of war
time economy. the results of years Of
careful building at Ravinia. We be-
lieve in barracks and music, bayonets
and poetry, flowers and cannon the
heroic destructive forces and the es-
thetic constructive forces. Thus life
is preserved and decorated, made safe
and made worth while. Pork chops
and feather beds do not justify life.

The order that has been issued by
the president requiring all citizens of
the United States between the ages
Of 21 and 80 years Of age to Register
on June 5th, is not in the nature of a
plea or a suggestion, but is manda-
tory. Every such citizen who fails to
do so is liable to penitentiary SEN
tence Of one year.

The annual state firemen's tourna-
ment will be held in Rapid City dur
ing the second week in June. The
attendance is not likely to be very
large, as SO many of the boys are en-
listed in national guard organiza-
tions.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Col. Thatcher writes the Tyndall
Tribune from Indiana, that on ac-
count of the war he will be unable to
visit the Washington Highway in

THE PRESIDENTS DEFINITION
OF GERMANISM.

Innumerable articles and many
books have been written to define
"Germanism" and show to the
world what il means
In this message to Congress De.
cember 4 President Wilson defines
it as follows;
This intolerable Thing Of which
the masters Of Germany have shown
MS the ugly face, this menace Of
combined intrigue and force which
we now see 50 clearly as the Ger
man power, a Thing without con
science or honor or capacity for
peace. !
This Ching must be crushed, and
if not truly brought to an end, at
least shut out from the friendly I'M
Of the nations, says the
President, and it's only when this
Thing and its power are indeed de-
feated that the time can come when
we can discuss peace with the Ger
man people.

Miss Hopper Is managing the con-

Miss Katherine Kemp Stillings, and
stopped at her former home in pass

north as Detroit and Green Bay, Wis,

her removal to New York, Miss
Hopper was widely known as local

Mr.. Martin Calm is again in the
city and it is interesting to hear him
talk of musical doings Of the time
when he taught piano here several
years ago. The other day he spoke
of Alvin w. krech, an enthusiastic
musical amateur, who had two pianos
in his home, where he and Mr.. Calm,
and Mrs. Macintosh and Mrs. Gilbert
Hitchcock used to meet at stated in
tervals and play two-piano ensembles
for eight hands, usually reading them
at sight. Mr.. Krech was connected
with the Union Pacific during its
reorganization and has since risen to
an envied place in the financial world,
making New York City his home.
