Ed to come Over after dinner. With
the sunset Anna seemed better. She
insisted on coming downstairs, and
even sat with them on the balcony IN
til the stars came out, talking of
Christine's trOusseau, and, rather fret
fully, of what she would do without
the parlors.
you shall have your own bOudOir
upstairs" said Sidney valiantly. "Ka-
tie can carry your tray up there. We
are going to make the sewing Dom
into your private sitting room, and I
shall nail the machine top down."
This pleased her. When X. insisted
on carrying her upstairs, she went in
a flutter.

She dropped asleep before the doc

after eight, the door of the Wilson
house slammed and a figure crossed
the street, it was not Ed at all but
the surgeon.
Sidney had been talking rather more
frankly than usual. Lately there had
been a reserve about her. X, listen

them, after her way.

Carlotta Harrison was in Sidney's
hospital! A thousand contingencies
flashed through his mind. Sidney might
grow to like her and bring her to the
house. Sidney might insist on the
thing she always spoke Of-that he
visit the hospital and he would meet
her, face to face. He could have de-
pended on a man to keep his secret.
This girl with her somber eyes and
her threat to pay him out for what
had happened to her-she mean dan

CRISIS CHANGES
ALL, Ne SAYe

Relative to the present crisis
which has come with the break
OF diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany,
the Duluth Herald. i'm al editor
ial says.
Though all of us face the dis
agreeable necessity of breaking
diplomatic relations iw+h Ger
many with sorrow and regret,
and contemplate the possibility
that the break may lead us into
war with that country with keen
err sorrow and greater regret
what of those among us who wcro
born in Germany. who have beliav
ed IN Germany. who have loved
Germany second only to the land
of their adoption. anI who sud-
denly find themselves citizens of
nation that is at odds with Ger
many and soon may be forced in
to war with her?
They are entitled. these people
whom we have long d fovorahly
known as good ncighbors and
good citizens to our deepest con-
sideration.
Though it is hut one in thou
sand of their number who i'm this
and recent other controversies
have put German interests above
American interests. there is grave
danger that some of us NAV
spread the blame for this among
them all; and against that every
one of us hould be Oh guard.
That in the great war thew
should have sympathized with the
country that gave them birth 40
long as the issues we're confined
to the continent of Europe is not
to their discredit. but to their
credit: we should have been un-
able to respect them if it had > IN
otherwise. They have been no he
the less loyal Americans because
of that. If we had been in an
other land while America was al
war and had failed to do as they
have done-had failed to stand up
for our native land. and had fail
cd to resent bitterly the lack OF
sympathy with America we found
lthere-wc should have been pol
troonS unworthy of the name OF
Americans.

MAKING GOOD IN NORTH OAK

Among the cases illustrating
tEe manner in which men are max
ing sood On the farms of North
Dakota. the following is taken
from the flies of the North OAK
ota Development League Press
Bureau at Grand Forks.
Last spring Joseph Floven
bought 100 acres of land near
Watford. On the greater part of
this land he sowed flax. Last fall
he harvested and threshed 1900
bushels of flax and snld it at So
25 per bushrl. Out of the S5,-
600 in round numbers. which he
Vcceived, he paid all Of his 'ex-
penses for the year and then had
more than enough left to pay for
his farm.
f. b. Dewey, of Woodwork, in
Stutsman county. wished to avoid
paving the cost of shipping scr
coming to market. therefore, he
set two men at work cleaning his
grain before it was hauled to-
town. He found that he was max
ing a profit Of II cents bushcl
by doing this, and. even though
the price of grain is high, he thot
that All additional IA cents was
worth while. He not only re-
ceived a much better price for the
cleaned grain, but i'm the screen
ings which were left he had a
large quantity of valuable feed.
Four years ago. Arne Moen, of
Deep, Bottineau county. bought
i25 breeding ewes in Montana,
paying $4,000 for the lot. He
had kept them on waste land along
the river bottom. and they have
required little attention. Since
he bought the sheep he has sold
wool for close to 100000, and
last week he sold $50 read. raised
from the original flock. for $3.50

There are a few German in th;s

There are few German in this
country, it is true who are not
American citizens and who make
no professions whatever of beily
Americans. They are those who
have violated American neutrali-
ty in their efforts to be helpful to
Germany. The law can deal with
these. and will deal with them. We
mention them at this time only to
point out the need that we do not
confuse them with those of Ger
man birth who have cast Their
homes here. who have cast their
lot and invested their all with us.
who are citizens of the United
States. and regarding whose 10y
atty to the land Of their pledged
allegiance there is no doubt
whatever.
1t is a sorrowful time for all uf
us in this peace-loving land: but
for those whose hearts are torn
between love of the Fatherland
and love for and devotion to the
land of their adoption it is a time
of sorrow and perplexity beyond
description.
That is why they deserve our
kindly consideration. That is
why we should be careful not to
give offense to them needlessly.
That is why we should. not abat-
ing one jot our grim determine
ton to stand up for our rights
and our self-respect. whoever
whoever challenges them. have a
tender thought Of them in their
hour of grief and per2lexity.
Their loyalty to America we
may not doubt. The clear dis
tinction between the many who
are faithful and the few who may
be tempted by the bitterne of
the situation to pass the limits
of good taste we should never ov-
erlook. They need our sympath-
les. not our suspicion; and if we
labor with them, we would that
we might be borne with if we were
in their places, it will be better.
