When the Presidents peace note
in January was given to the press
a panic set in on the stock markets
Of the country. A day or so later
Mr. Roosevelt, running true to form,
wept bitterly over the plight of these
'small investors" who were ruined
in immense numbers, he said. The
small investors were all gamblers on
the stock market. This is proved
by the fact that they were ruined.
An investor loses little by small
depreciation of the value of his
stock on the market He still has
the stock and the returns on it are
practically unchanged. If he sells it
he loses only the amount of the drop,
and as this is but small percent
age of what he paid for it, he can
not be ruined. 1t is only when he is
dealing in margins that ruin can
follow.

The print paper manufacturers
have thrown themselves on the
mercy of the Federal Government,
since they have been threatened with
prosecution for boosting prices.
At President Wilson'S direction,
Secretary McAdoo summoned one of
the principal manufacturers who was
acting as spokesman for the others,
and informed him that inasmuch as
the Government itself was not per-
mitted by the Constitution to i'm
pose prohibitive restraint upon the
press, the Administration did not in
tend to remain idle while an alleged
monopoly through extortionate
prices for print paper, effectually
imposed greater restraints than the
Government might ever contemplate
Mr.. McAdoo, it was said, speaking
for the President, informed this
representative manufacturer thai
with many daily newspapers of the
United States threatened with being
forced to close up, special session
of Congress would be called, il
necessary, to pass legislation te
restore prices and supply to a norm
al level At the same time the Fed
eral Grand Jury in New York was
preparing to bring indictments TO,
criminal prosecutions. The seque
was the action of the manufacturers
in signing an agreement permitting
the Trade Commission to fix fail
prices.
1t is understood that the Admins
tration is going further and taking
steps to guard against any shortage
of supply in the future. Through
the forest service which already has
been. at work on some phases of the
problem, plans for re-forestation ot
wooded areas now devasted for WOOD
pulp, are to be worked out, which
are expected to furnish ample sup
plies for American publishers in the
future.

The Nebraska legislature has a
bill before it which authorizes cities
to adopt the city manager plan OF
government. The city manager plan
merely means that the city elects q
small group of men to determine its
policy and to hire an expert to spend
the public money in exchange for
service. This is so like the manner
in which all successful businesses are
conducted that the existence OF
strong opposition among the politi-
clans is not surprising.

Prohibition Sweeps On.

The prohibition wave sweeps on in
states and nation. The greatest
surprise is Indiana. A strict pro-
hibition bill has passed both houses,
the senate vote being 38 to IL and
the house vote 70 to 2S. The bill
becomes effective, after signing by
the governor, on April 2, 1918.
The liquor interests in that state,
after controlling the democratic
state convention, then voted the re-
publican ticket and thus set the
democratic party free from obli-
CATION, and a considerable number
Joined the republicans and put the
measure through by a large ma
jority.
The amendment has been submit
ted in wyoming and is sure to be
submitted in Utah, New Mexico and
Florida, In Minnesota the bill has
passed one house. Submission is
also under consideration in Illinois
and Wisconsin.
At the national capital the senate
has already passed the bill making
the District dry, and it will pass the
house before adjournment.
If a vote can be secured on the
national amendment it will show a
large gain over the vote two years
ago. and 1t is quite sure to be sub
mitted by the next congress. The
cause goes from victory on to
victory.-The Commoner.

quantity of waste is being returned
to the mills to be re-manufactured

Even in far-away Texas, waste

the country overcome the shortage
in paper to good profit to them

For several months their teachers
had urged them to save all old news

Sale Day" was held. The children
brought piles and piles of papers and
magazines to the school yard in
every sort of vehicle, including
automobiles, wheelbarrows, small
express wagons, baby carriages
clothes baskets, gunny sacks and
boxes on rollers.
The sale was superintended by the
principal, Morgan Jones, and two
bankers were present to pay off as
the papers were weighed. More
than $4,000 pounds Of paper were
obtained.
The school required students te

spread to other schools and each will
have a similar sale day.
Garages have offered two and a

being saved to swell the deposits.

GERMANS
. AND DYNAMITE

Medora, N. D., Dec. 6.-"Some-
where in the Bad Lands" two rabid
Germans are running wild with 100
sticks of dynamite. Officers every
where have been warned to watch
for them, and the federal authori-
ties have been notified. The explo-
sive was stolen from the Consolidat-
ed Coal company's Medora mine.
Manager Brodie discovered the
boxes from which the dynamite
was taken one and three miles west
Of Medora, partly imbedded in the
# earth in such manner as to
indicate that they had been thrown
from westbound Northern Pacific
train.
Two Germans applied lor work at
the mine several times during the
last week, but never reported for
duty. They disappeared the night
the expGyiVE was taken, - carrying
suitcases with them when last seen.
1t is believed that they loaded the
boxes of dynamite On west-bound
train while 1t was switching in the
local yards, and then transferred the
explosive from the boxes to their
suitcases, dumping the empty boxes
overheard.
Following closely On the heels Of
the Lennon outrages, the affair
has created considerable consterna-
tion in the Bad Lands.

band, John H. Sullivan, at the
home of Mrs. Caroline Talley in this
city on the afternoon Of Oct. 8, was
found guilty of manslaughter In the

The case had gone to the jury at
four o'clock that afternoon.
The prosecution was in the. hands
of States Attorney Herigstad. Sink
Ter and Eide appeared for the de-
fepse.
From evidence brought out, It
appeared that Sullivan had come
nome intoxicated that morning. She
undressed him and put him to bed
and In the afternoon he awoke and
called for a drink of water. She
got him the water. whereupon he
began to abuse her, she said. She
knew what was coming, so ran into

she knew she could not get away
from her infuriated husband.
Mrs. Sullivan is 40 years old and
appears to be about 80. She has a
daughter 20 years of age and a son
OF l8 living in st. Paul. Sullivan
formerly was engaged in the saloon
business in Plentywood, Mont.
The state produced evidence to
show that Mrs. Sullivan made an
admission that her husband brot
home bottle of whiskey and that
she had taken a drink with him.
The defense produced evidence to
show that Sullivan at times had
treated his wife in a brutal man
ner, dragging her about by the hair.
for instance. The defense showed
that after Mrs. Sullivan had shot
her husband. she got towels and
sat down beside the body and at
tempted to stop the flow of blood.

Jonas Anderson, the head man at

arrested last Monday on the charge

dalls court waived examination and
was bound over to the district
court, his bond being fixed at $500
which he furnished, j. O. Norlin

Mr.. Anderson, 1t is alleged, allowed
gambling to go On In the building
across the track which he rented.
Mr.. Anderson enjoys playing cards
and it Is said that he on several oc-
casions invited some Of his friends
to sit in a game in his room with
him. To make things more inter-
esting small stakes were occasion
ally played for, and everything
would have probably gone lovely
we're 1t not for the fact that Ander-
son did not exercise enough care as
to who he invited into his room.
His trial will come off at the next
term of district court unless he
pleads guilty before that time.

ENDS QUARREL WITH
CHARGE OF SHOT

Ray, N. D. Dec. 6.-John Caille
was filled full of shot by E. l.. Gun
derson, a renter, during discus
sion as to the ownership of a straw
stack which Gunderson claimed, and
on which he alleges Caille persisted
in feeding his stock.
= Owing to the prominence of both
parties, the shooting has attracted
much attention. Gunderson was
one of the earliest settlers in this
region, and until the last summer
he held the post Of cashier of the
Linwell State Bank. Mr.. Caille is
also an old citizen of the commun-
ity and he is past 70. Despite Gail
les age, Gunderson claims he shot
in selfdefense, fearing he would be
"beaten up" The shot was fired
at close range and 40 perforations
were found in Cables body. No
arrests have yet been made. Caille

ASKS j. S. TO HELP
WESTERN FARMER

Washington, Dec. 6.-President
A. c. Townley, of the National Non
Partisan league, yesterday asked
President Wilson to urge upon con-
gress an appropriation Of $780,
100000 for the purchase of seed
and feed to be sold at cost to farm
ers Of the Northwest, who he said
are in financial straits because of
the failure of crops in two success
sive years.
Mr.. Townley told the president
that the farmers in North Dakota.
Kansas and parts of Montana and
Minnesota whom he represented,
had answered the country's call for
more food by increasing their acre.
age this year and that the failure
of enlarged crops mad hit them
heavily. Added to that he said,
was a shortage Of grass and feed
which compelled the farmers to sell
their cattle.
During the conference Mr.. Town
ley pledged the president the alle-
glance Of the northwestern farmers,
declaring that they desired to do
everything within yneir power to
aid the government in the war.
Before going to the White House
Mr.. Townley called on food admin
istrator Hoover and urged his sup
port to relief measures for the
northwestern farmers.

KenmaPe Cash Store Has
A Large Holiday Display

The Kenmare Cash Store of Ken
mare will no doubt be the holiday
shopping headquarters for this Sec
ton of the state between now and
Christmas. Mr.. Knudson has put
in a larger stock of holiday goods
this year than he ever did before,
and having bought everything right,
he is in position to sell right. In
q double page ad In this issue of
The Tribune he gives a few sug-
gestions for holiday gifts, but tho
store is simply loaded down with al
most every kind OF merchandise i'm
aginable. People may visit this
store with list of those to whom
they intend giving gifts, and they
will have no trouble whatever in Sc
lecting something suitable for every
one, no matter whether he is old or
young. The clerks in this store,
who have many years of experience
in their lines, will do all in their
power to assist the patrons of the
place In selecting suitable gifts,
and we are sure that people will
find shopping there a pleasure ia
stead Of task. Mr.. Knudson spent
considerable time In the east last
summer selecting his holiday line,
and we can truthfully say that ho
didn't forget any department when
he made his purchases.
