 "We must take practical measures inn mediately to effect the promises given by the Bolsheviki party" Lenine said. "The question of peace is a burning one today. therefore the first act of the new government which is to be formed is to offer to all nations democratic peace, based on no annexations and no indemni- ty. Such q peace is to be concluded, not by diplomacy. but by the representatives of the people"
 Lenne explained that by annexation he meant the forcible seizure of any ter ritcry in the past or in the present with out consent of the people. He asserted that all secret treaties meant to benefit the bourgeoise must be published and yoided to benefit all.
 We plan to offer an immediate armis- tice of three months" he declared. dur ing which there shall be elected repre- sentatives of all the nations hot dIplc- mats, who are to settle the question of peace.

SEED CORN SELECTION

Field meetings will be held in vari-
Gus parts of South Dakota during the
first week in October for the purpose
of showing approved methods of Sc
lecting, curing and grading of seed
corn. These meetings will be held in
corn fields under the direction of
State college and the Y. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, and the demon
strators will assist in the selection of
seed corn in as many fields as posi-
BILE in each neighborhood.
Farmers who desire such meetings
in their fields should phone or wire
the State college extension division
at once. Those asking for meetings
will supply transportation for the dem
onstrator to the field meeting from
the nearest railroad point, and will
notify their neighbors regarding the
demonstration. The other expense of
sending the demonstration will be

him pain. His jaws were sore and
bleeding. His upper lip was smashed
where the club had fallen. One eye
was almost closed. Several times
Sandy came near, much pleased at
what he regarded as the good results
Of the beating. Each time he brought
kazan with it, and the dog snarled and
snapped Savagely at the end of it.
That was what Sandy wanted-it was
an old trick of the dog-slaver. Instant
ly he was using the club again, until
with a whining cry KaZan SUNK under
the protection of the Snag to which he
was fastened. He could scarcely drag
himself. His right fOrepaw was
smashed. His headquarters sank I'M

beating he could not have escaped had
he been free.
Sandy was in unusually good humor.
"Tll take the devil out of you all
right he told Kazan for the twentieth
time. "There's nothin' like beatin's to
make dogs an wimmin live up to the
mark. A month from now you'll be
worth two hundred dollars or I'll skin
you alive!'
Three or four times before dusk
Sandy worked to rouse KaZan's ami
mostly. But there was no longer any
desire left in Kazan to fight. His two
terrific beatings, and the crushing blow
of the bullet against his skull, had
made him sick. He lay with his head
between his f%orepaWs, his eyes closed,
and did lot see McTrigger. He paid
no attention 10 the meat that was
thrown under his nose. He did not
know when the last of the sun sank
behind the western forests, or when
the darkness came. But at last some
thing reused him from his Stupor. To
his dazed and Sickcned brain it came
like q call from out of the far past, and
he raised his head and listened. Out
on the sand McTrigger had built ii fire,
and the man stood in the red glow Of

again now-the lost mourning cry of

up his club, and leaped toward him.

Trigger returned to the fire he was
breathing hard again. He tossed his
club beside the blankets he had spread

Several times that night Kazan heard

response, fearing the club. He watched
the fire until the last embers Of ii died

there was nothing left for us but to
assert Jul rights and to defend them.
No country in the world hates wal
more than we do. Only extreme prov.
ocation would induce us to take up
arms. Experience shows ~abundantly
that a peace-loving nation is not safe
because of that fact. Belgium and
some of the Balkan states are evil
dence OF ii.
AS the world is constituted, and has
been through thousands of years of
strife, there is only one safe plan, and
that is to follow the advice of Wash
ington-in time of peace, prepare for
war. If we had done this a few years
ago, we would have saved billions of
dollars and ems Of thousands of lives.
1t is common knowledge in military
circles that trained men, by knowing
how to take care Of themselves in
camp and in the field, reduce the NOR
tally and casualties at least two
thirds, and, what is even more vital,
men of special training only can be
used in modern warfare.
Nationally, we need a little fore
sight, a keener appreciation of the
necessity for providing for future CON
~tingencies. We cut ice in the coolest
sort of weather when nobody wants
ice. for we know il will be demanded
a few months later; so we prepare in
mid-winter, for our comforts during
the heated period of summer
The plan Of universal military train
ing as outlined in the Chamberlain
bill, would make available at all times
millions of young men who have had
sufficient military training to enable
them to become excellent soldiers
with a few weeks of additional train
ing. This would safeguard the ma
ton and prepare it against any on
t%ingency that would probably arise,
and if one should never arise, the
training and discipline would be the
very best experience that any young
man could have. 1t would make him
stronger physically, more alert men
tally, quicker to see and to act. Also,
it would increase his earning capaci-
success in his life work. Our boys
appreciate this. | think the majority
of them would be glad to take the
training.
War is a calamity beyond descrip-
ton. We are sorry that any of our
young men should be compelled to
engage in it, but there are some things
worse than war, and one would be to
have our country dominated by a for
eign poverty a rule, of ruthless
militarism that counts war as a regu-
lar business.
Since the boys may at any time be
called upon to defend our country and
our flag. we W. ii to them to provide

national function both efficiently and

sibility is up to the American citizen

bill or some similar measure by con

No one in the northland can accuse the Nome Chamber of Commerce of not being up to snuff in their endeav- OTIS to riIther the business interests and trade relations of the territroy.
 On being informed by the Nugget this afternoon that E,ihu Root was appointed chairman. of the American commission which will leave for Rus sia shortly to assist in the rehabilta- lion of that country the Nome body ever active-sent him the following wire:
 The business interests of Nome, Alaska. the nearest American city to Russian territory, desire 10 express their congratulations on your ap- pointment as chairman of the Rus sian commission, hoping that among the resultant benefits may be the en- couragement of reciprocal trade re- lations between the two countries by the establishment of a custom house on the Siberian coast opposite Nome and the extension to Americans of com mercial and mining privileges equal to those enjoyed by Russians citizens in this country"

International News Service.

WASHINGON. Apri. 26.-Elihu Root was called 70 the capital this morning and was closeted with the president for over a1 hour. He was appointed as chairman of the Amer ican commission which will leave for Russia shortly to assist the provis- onal government in the rehabilitation of tha. country.
 Charles R. Crane, the we'll known Chicago millionaire is also a mem- Der of that body. President Wilson will select the other members of the commission and the party will sail for Russia at an early date.

It proved a false alarm and from all accounts was turned in by some boys. The city ordinance provides a punishment for such offense and the penalty is a fine of s250 an6 costs.
 This is the same box from which an alarm was turned in yesterday 2f- ternoon and the authorities have talk en extra measures for the apprehen. sion of such offenders who surely cannot realize the seriousness of suct proceedings.

Many who are in good money will not be able to work on this ac- count during the coming summer.
 At the mouth of the Koyuk he met Marshal Jordan and Hart Humber on the way to St. Mikes also Joe Shel- don, Frank Shaw and Bud Welch for Dime. At Golovin bay he met John Hegness with Harry Wells and Ed Johnson all in good shape. Albert says the trails are perfect at night but day travel is the hardest kind of work
