JUST roUIT STRUGGLING"

There seems to be but one course fol-
even the moderate drinker to pursue
and that is the plan adopted by the
maiden lady OF uncertain years who
found contentment when she quit
struggling"
District Attorney Hildreth says that
after July the man who goes tc
Minneapolis, buys a quart of beer for
HIS own use, and brings it back to
Fargo by train, automobile, or on foot
is. violating the law.
The game is no longer worth the
candle in North Dakota-if 1t ever was.
It isn't worth while becoming a law
breaker. sneaking across the river, and
sneaking liquor into your basement. tc

OF beer, even IL you have been one OF
those who thought 1t necessary to your
comfort. The habitual drinker and the
moderate drinker alike. appear to be
give up the struggle, and learn to re-
nounce". Most Fargoans may live to
see the day when they will think back
and marvel that any sane person de-
liberately insulted his stomach with
poisonous beverages, until he BECAME
intoxicated.
II looks like a last farewell to John
BarIeycorn not only in Dakota but the
nation. He was a gay old dog in his
day. but nobody will miss him after
the first wrench.

been that the excuses for lynching
parties have been growing fewer. The
Memphis crowd made up for the scare
ity by adding some picturesque brutal
ity, but in Houston they have decided
that merely enhancing the brutality is
not enough to make up for the scarcity
Of such parties. They have included
negro automobile drivers who have ac-
cidents, among those eligible for i'm
promptu hangings.
The number of negroes who own au-
tomobiles cannot be large, and IL they
do not supply enough material for mob
violence. the field will probably be en-
larged to include cases of drunkenness
and vagrancy. White men who acct
dentally kill children or adults with
their motor cars, generally escape
with a warning not to do it again, but
then. OF course, the North never "un-
derstands" the South and its treat
ment OF the negro.

NEUTRALs WILL SUFFER.

First, America; then her allies; then
the neutral nations. For Germany and
her allies, nothing.
That is the policy that the United
States in it's new position of the most
powerful food dictator in the world,
will pursue. Under the new Espionage
bill, the President and his assistants,
have complete control over the exports
Of foodstuffs from the United States
Trade will be interfered with as little
as possible, Mr.. Wilson has an
nounced, but great precautions will be
taken against any food reaching Ger
many or her allies.
The neutral nations will not be de-

nounced that they will be given as
large a share OF the surplus from this
country as 1t is possible to give them.
but. to supply the needs of the allies
will be the first aim, after home needs
are filed.
This policy will mean that the posi-
ton of neutrals will become more and
more difficult as the war continues.
They will find 1t increasingly difficult
to get supplies of raw materials and
food from America. They have been
using these supplies to exchange with
Germany for other needed commodi-
ties, and this exchange must neces-
sarily cease.
Countries like Holland, Sweden. Nor
way and Switzerland will probably be
brought nearer to starvation than the
belligerents with the possible exception
Of Germany and Austria. Meanwhile
the ships Of three Of these countries
are being sunk almost daily by Ger
man submarines. How long such con-
ditions will be tolerable is a question
that time alone will answer. II the
surplus of food is not sufficient to sup
ply their needs, they may be forced
into war for self preservation.

THE FUTURE OF THE AIRPLANE

Several weeks ago The Forum ex-
pressed the belief that the end of the
war would see amazing developments
in the commercial use of the airplane
and that factories that are now turn
ing out machines by the hundreds fol-
war purposes, would be compelled to
find a new market for their product
with the result that the airplane
would come into common use.
Evidently this idea is held by many
who have thought of the future of the
airplane. The London correspondent
of The New York Sun writes under
date of June as follows:
Nobody seriously doubts any
longer that after the war aircraft
will be used for q considerable
variety Of commercial purposes.
THE element of expense is not
nearly so great as might be
imagined. The uncertainties of
this kind of transportation as well
as the dangers have been reduced
by the experience of the war to
really remarkable extent. The ac-
cidents in flying are now nearly
all the result OF experiments in
aerial gymnastics. When it comes
to plain sewing'-just simple get
ting through the air in a straight
ahead fashion without any trim
ming-the skilled aviators whom
the war has developed make it
pretty nearly as safe to travel in
aeroplanes6 as on railroad trains.
"Aeroplanes are now being built
that could very decentIy carry a
dozen or fifteen passengers, and it
has been calculated very plausibly
that an aeroplane route from
London to Bombay, once 1t could
get a fair share of the travel,
would be able to make as low a
rate as a steamship line. possibly
lower.

CONSERVE THE GARDEN YIELDS

All OF Fargo's efforts to increase the
amount Of land planted to home gard
ems. will go for naught unless some
provision is made for conserving the
crops.
Even in normal years, perishable
garden truck gluts the market during
! the short season when it is ready for
! consumption. This year the results of
the home garden movement have been
remarkable. Many a resident of the
city has half block or even an entire
I block Of land in garden. The crops
: promise to be exceedingly large, and
+ in the course Of two or three weeks
immense supplies OF fresh vegetables
viii come on the market. To sell these
vegetables for the price that will then
rule, will not begin to repay the gard
eneTs for their time and effort. 1t would
be criminal to waste this surplus, and
it would be a disaster to permit the
many who have undertaken gardens to
become discouraged and abandon them
another year.
- Here is work that the agricultural
college faculty might well undertake.
II they would issue bulletins, properly
timed, instructing gardeners how to
can surplus supplies OF perishable veg
etables, The Forum would be glad to
give them publicity. One housewife
told The Forum her system today. II
always cook just twice as much as we
need" she said, land the surplus put
into cans for the winter. In this way
! can the surplus from day to day with
out extra trouble or expense" It
sounds good.
The problem OF such vegetables as
potatoes. carrots and rutabagas is diff
ferent. tProper storage facilities are
needed, 80 that If the bottom drops out
Of the potato market in July and Aug
ust, gardeners may put away their sur
plus for the winter months. The man
without basement in his house and
with half an acre or an acre in potatoes
is presented with a serious problem of
storage. How can he construct an in
expensive and practical root cellar?
The Forum would like to give publicity
to the best solution of this problem
also. It should be a solution that will
put the gardener to the least possible
expense ana trouble.

THE NEXT TEST.

/ Calls to service are being met by the
country one by one, and each test is
being passed with a greater degree of
success than the preceding one.
- First 1t was the registration for the
draft. The country was more than 80
per cent loyal in this. The number OF
those who evaded registration was
ridiculously small when compared with
the total population. A few hundred
, arrests have been made, but nearly
100000 men registered.
Next came the Liberty Loan, and
this was oversubscribed by more than
so per cent. The number Of small sub
scribers was especially noteworthy.
Third on the list was the call for
donations to the Red Cross. The So
ciety asked for 800, ZOO, 900 and got it
in a week. The returns are still COM
ing in and the total donations will ex-
coed the sum asked for by several mil
lions.
A fourth call is for recruits for the
regular army and the national guard
The government wants both branches
of the service placed on a war footing
before the draft for the new army is
made. 1t needs about 10000 volunteers
for the regulars, and as many more for
the guard. The campaign is now under
way.
What will be the next test? Possibly
a call for aviators. Beginning August
rs the government expects to graduate
each week from the primary training
schools for aviators, about 200 young
men, the number to be increased later.
