CHANCE TO "EvEN UP".

Farmers in Cass county have an
opportunity to even up" this year.
After several bad crops and crop
failures, the district surrounding
Fargo is taking record breaking
crop off the land this ycar-record-
breaking in money return IL not in
actual yield per acre.
There is little doubt but that the
cash value Of the crop Of Cass coun-
ty will exceed all previous records.
this year Within a mile or two of
the Fargo postofTice can be found
wheat that will yield from 30 to IS
bushels to the acre. Such a crop,
when it is found on a land a few
miles further from the city, would
pay the cost Of the land on the basis
of its value last fall.
Instead of being a calamity. the
recent hot wind is now looked upon
as a Godsend. 1t ripened the wheat
and resulted in what is probably the
earliest harvest in the history of the
county. The cool weather following
has been ideal for harvesting, and
there will be a longer season for
fall blowing.
Cass county has indeed. many rea-
sons for thankfulness this summer,
and 1t should be prepared to extend
a helping hand to less fortunate
parts Of the state in the way of loans
or credit.

Why the Entente Will Re-stdte
Its Peace Terms This Month

! under duress in the future. But this
does not invalidate the principle in
the slightest degree; 1t merely i'm
creases the technical labor of apply
ing II. Nobody doubts that the
Rumanians of Hungary wish to be
annexed to Rumania. The entente
note Of January did not deal with
this problem; the August conferences
will.
Nor did the entente, in its January
note, definitely declare for the inter-
Dardanelles-With a sufficient terri
tory to give military protection.
Even IL one or more nations are
allotted the task OF furnishing the
international police, this Is evident
~ the solution of the problem that
VIII be adopted at this months con-
ference. The situation is similar as
to Mesopotamia, Arabia, Syria and
Palestine and the German colonies.
Lloyd George has declared that Ger
many and Turkey have shown them
selves UNIT to govern these terri
tories and that they should be ruled
in accordance with the wishes of
their inhabitants. It remains to de-
clare that these wishes should be
ascertained by an International
to which Germany also may be ad-
mitted, though only on the condition
that a revolution shall have establish
ed a trustworthy and democratic
government in that country.
Finally, the entente note demand
ed "all just compensation and in
demnity due for losses suffered'-the
claim to be more. definitely stated,
apparently, only at the peace confer
ence. It should be specifically
stated and doubtless it will be stat
ed, that no claims are to be made
for military expenditures such as
those placed upon France by Bis
marck in 1870 (although this particu-
lar plumber should be repaid, nor as
punishment for wrong done. but only
for actual financial damage against
international law and military usage.
Moreover, only a small part-if any
of these indemnities could be
financial, as financial indemnities
would be extended over a long period
and would prevent future economic
development,-to the damage not
only of the nation thus wrought, but
Of the whole world. For example,
ships or railway material may be
given for ships or railway material
wrongfu1ly destroyed. And above
all there are still territories so small
that they cannot be independent
(such as some islandsl and terri
tories inhabited so sparsely or by
people so undeniably backward that
q plebiscite could not be the sole
consideration governing their dis
position. The surrender of these
territories may also count as in
IDENTITIES. 49,
Some such terms as these are un-
doubtedly already in the minds of
the leading statesmen of the entente.
They are approximately the terms
America has long had in mind, and
will probably ensure, for the first
time, the wholehearted support Of
Russia.

Vigilanteo.

BY William English WaIlinq of the
NigiIantes.
The British government has twice
indicated it's willingness to accept
the invitation of the new Russian
government to call a conference to
re-state the. peace terms Of the
entente. And now we hear from
Petrograd that this momentous con-
ference is to occur before the end
of August.
1t is probable that the motive of
Great Britain Is not only to meet
Russia half way, but also to formu-
late a program that will enable all
the entente powers to combat more
effectively the insidious pro- German
peace propaganda-which has OBJ
tanned a foot-hold not only in Rus
STA, but in America, in Great Britain,
in Italy, and even in France.
Undoubtedly, the two chief inter
national principles promulgated by
the entente in their last peace state
ment, which dates from January,
were the demand for the free
economic development of all peoples"
and the demand for guarantee of
the land and sea frontiers Of all peo-
pies" Now the German imperialists
have declared that they wish to en-
cal principles to Germany either by
changes of frontiers in favor Of
Germany or by means of a partial
control over conquered territories
and the territories of neighbors and
allies, and the text of the entente
note does not make it clear that the
entente did not intend to use the
same method. So the August con-
ference will make 1t clear that the
entente does not undertake to make
all peoples safe by means of terri
torial readjustments alone, though it
will insist on territorial changes as
a military guarantee wherever
democracy also requires them. 1t
will guarantee the safety of all peo-
pies only as far as this can be done
by the military and economic power
of league of democratic nations to
enforce peace.
Other phases used by the January
note of the entente seemed to suggest
territorial changes opposed to the
principles both of democratic Russia
and of democratic Americans Mr.,
Wilson has expressed them. The
was made for "the restitu-
ton of provinces and territories
formerly torn from the allies by
force or contrary to the wishes of
their inhabitants" The phrase might
seem to carry us back a thousand
years, as the former German
Chancellor Won Buelow does in his
Imperial GermAny". The phrase be-
Games just only If some such word
as recently" is substituted for
formerly.
Next, the entente demanded the
from foreign domination"
of a specific list of peoples. 1t would
have been better to demand their
liberation according to Lloyd
Georges criterion-"the wishes of
the inhabitants" 1t is true that
these wishes cannot be freely ex-
pressed as long as these peoples are
under duress or expect to remain

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
Kitchen Convenienee-Ag good way
to keep small articles which are al
ways getting lost in place is to have
a couple of shelves in the kitchen
just far enough apart to allow a
pasteboard box to slip between them
easily. The shelves should be just
little wider than the length of the
box and the, boxes all the same, size.
Shoe boxes do very we'll. Set them
side by side on the lower shelf with
ends to the front Of shelf. The up
per shelf serves as a lid to all Of
them For knobs to pull them out
by, place a small screw inside the
front end of box, hold a cork on the
outside and drive the screw through
the pasteboard into the box. Make a
list of the contents of each box on a
piece of notepaper and paste on the
front. This saves lots Of time when
hunting some small article in a
hurry, as you can see at a glance
Just where to look for it. The top
shelf may be covered with oilcloth
and furnishes a place to set many
other articles that too often occupy
needed space on the kitchen table.
Use Snap Fasteners-Instead Of
sewing rosettes or bows used in
trimming a child's bonnet or cap,
fasten them on with one or two snap
fasteners such as dressnakers use.
They may be quickly changed and
several sets of different colored rib
bon used for the same cap.
To Make Noncon1bustiie Dresses
Put one ounce alum or salammonic
in the last water in which muslins
and cotton are rinsed. or a similar
quantity in the starch in which they
are stiffened. This will render them
almost uninfiammable. or at least
they will with difficulty take hTe,
and If they should will burn with
out fire. 1t is astonishing that this
simple prcaution is so rarely
adopted. Remember this and save
the lives of your children.

DIRECT ACTION.

| Direct Action is what the I. w
W. want; what they preach and
advocate.
Direct Action" was what they got
at Bisbee and Butte.
But while it seems almost like
poetic justice, two wrongs do not
make a right. The deportations at
Bisbee and the murder at Butte
were as reprehensible as the teach
I ings and the acts of the l. w. w.
themselves.
1t is therefore surprising to see a
newspaper like The Chicago Tribune
editorially condoning such crime.
That the I. w. w. have openly
preached violence and sabotage. is
no excuse for murder.
Leslie's Weekly also openly ap-
/ plauded Bisbee's action, and under a
heading Good for Bisbee". says:
| Bisbee, Arizona, taught the l.
w. w, when it crowded them
into cattle cars and hustled them
out of town, that no self-respect-
| ing business community Will
tolerate men who deliberately
instigate violence and confisca-
ton, and make war against their
country.
I'VE roughnecks are on top

There is no pretense about the
/. w. w. 1t is in favor Of murder,
arson. or any, other crime to ac-
complish its purpose.
Bisbee suspended business
while it's Citizens league of l.
500 patriots, augmented by about
300 from Douglas, armed with
machine guns, checked up every
disturber and rounded the whole
bunch in the city park until
special train could be made up
to ship them out of the town.
That is how Bisbee did 1t.
Bisbee has stood sfor the new
freedom of labor. 1t has taught
a great patriotic lesson to all the
other communities on which the
]. w. w. threatens to infiict its
noisome presence.
Best of all, it has aroused the
nation to a sober sense OF DUTY
in putting an end to senseless
tolerance of those who would
rule or ruin.
And Bisbee is on the map to
stay, with the american flag
waving over 1t.
Long may it wave!
Fortunately through the good
sense of the farmers Of North Da-
kota, the shrewd agents of the l.
w. w. and their apologists failed to
get a footing here; and North Da-
kota is not likely to be presented
with the problem Bisbee faced.

THAT SWIMMING HOLE.

In answer to a recent editorial in
for making some use of the Red
river for a bathing beach, there
comes one which at least merits con-
sideration.
r. T. Refs. a postoffice employe of
this city, in a communication to The
Forum, outlines a plan. which from
a superficial investigation, appears
to be wholly feasible and repIete
with possibilities.
Mr.. Refs suggests that the low ly
ing ground beside the armory. where
the river overlooked last spring. be
used for a swimming hole. The city
already owns it, and at present it is
neither an ornament nor useful. Part
Of 1t could be walled off and the bot
tom concerted. The abandoned city
filter could then be put into service
again to filter the water for the
swimming pool. A small water
wheel at the dam or a gasoline
engine would supply the power for
a pump, to pump the water from this
filter into the pool, and it could drain
back into the Red river after it
reached a certain level, giving a con-
stantly changing supply of filtered
water.
The pool would be in a natural
amphitheater. and on the side of this
a uyafar fohoggan coY,Id he coO-
structed at trifiing cost. A few bath
houses, and some loads of sand
dumped along the banks would give
Fargo a unique outdoor swimming
pool at very little cost.
Nominal charges could be made
for the use of the lighthouses, towels
and swimming suits, and this income
should be ample to pay for the
supervision of the pool, and for the
slight cost of pumping water. The
initial cost, therefore, would be all
and this would consist chiefly of
concreting of the bottom of the pool.
This would depend entirely on the
size decided upon for the pool.
1HGL0 hlSh6 NC bOAlS engineering
difficulties connected with the plan
that do not present themselves in a
superficial study of it, but If it could
be worked out 1t would give Fargo
an outdoor bathing place in the very
heart of the city.
In the winter months the pool
could be used for a rink. One end
If il might be put under shelter and
turned into a curling rink, and the
remainder left available for skating
and for hockey. The lighthouses
could be turned into warming rooms
for the skaters, and dressing rooms
for the hockey players.
The beginning need not be elabor-
ate. It could be undertaken on
very small scale, and gradually add
I'd to from year to year, until Fargo
had a swimming hole two or three
blocks long one blocks walk from
the heart of the business district. 1t
would be worth its cost as an adver-
tisement to the city - something
unique in America.
Let's think it over and get some
estimates at least.
