THE FIRST GRAY HAIR.

You looked at yourself in the glass
this morning. And what a jolt your
mirror gave you! 1t was as though
your physician had told you you had
fallen victim to some disease quite
beyond cure.
For you saw in your mirror that
which is the visible sign of mans
lock-step with time-a gray hair.
Wherein did the shock ofSour first
gray hair lie? Surely whitened
head, not to mention those occasion.
al streaks of gray that are belied by
bright eyes and springy gait, is a
common sight. Yet somehow you
had never figured that gray hair
or two was in store for you. You, in
your fancy, were exempt. Youth was
yours for all time. though for others
you recognized it to he but a pass
ing incident.
Well, let US sit down and weep
over that first gray hair OF yours,
which, as days pile on days. will null
tiply itself a hundredfold. Truly
enough it signalizes not so much the
end OF youth as the beginning of age.
Let us sit down and weep.
And now, our weeping done, we be.
come sane again and we realize that
maturity is the flower Of life, youth
being but the plants stalk. We real
ize that nothing grows except, it ages,
that decay itself is but the rest that
precedes growth anew. II this be
true of weed, wherein is it untrue Of
man or woman? 81. h.a ..,rg.@4$
The first gary hair gives youth a
shock, but It's no more shocking than
the first tooth was to your babyhooa..
Yet so long as teeth come in the way
of nature, who would be without
them? ..a. .t7s:t q

ADVERTISING A CITY.

Rushing into the public prints with
notices that are prejudicial to the
best interests of the city will and is
now working to the disadvantage Of
Bismarck. The Tribune has taken
the position that in the absence of
any epidemic, in the absence of any
serious conditions, it would not &C.
cept notices wholly unwarranted by
actual health conditions.
In the future. however, all official
notices Of this character will be
properly labeled and credited to the
parties inserting them. The Tribune
is convinced that Bismarck is heal.

pure and wholesome; that this con.

short-sighted policy.

THE TURN IN THE ROAD.

When you were little tad and got
spanked for running away, what was
it that called you?
When you were just beyond the
marble playing age and ventured fur
Their than the precincts Of the bound
aries prescribed for your wanderings
afield, what called you then?
When you deserted your native
village with its friendly voices and
we'll known hooks and crarnies for
the deafening noises and confusing
byways of a rushing city, what voice
did you answer? #
And today, when-after the long
grind at work bench or desk, in the
market place, or wherever it be that
you give of yourself in return for
your daily bread-you tramp thlon.N
parks or point your automobiles nose
toward the city's limits for a country
run, what calls you?
Like the child, you still find pleas
ure in running away for strange ad-
venturings. Like the boy, you slip
across the boundary line just to see
what lies beyond. Like the youth,
you seek surcease from those things
that have become monotonous
through long familiarity.
For-no matter what your age-in-
satiable longing, Unborn curiosity and
belief in the unknown drive you on.
Always enchantment awaits. so you
say, at the turn of the road.
And so it does await, If not at this
turn, then the next or the next, or
perhaps at the very last. For each
new turn spells hope, and each new
hope spells increased faith. and in.
creasing faith in the end cannot spell
other than the vaguest hope triumph
antly realized.
Listen! In encouragement men
have said, Nothing is changeless ex.
cept change" And this is, indeed, a
truth, though like all truths thing
Of happiness, and not despair. For
without change there would be no
progress And progress is the all OF
life, calling always from the turn OF
the road just ahead, calling forever
even unto the end that never will be

Fl For reasons quite generally under
stood, Packard's nomination to sue

by the senate of the Fifteenth as

nomination to the upper house sew

been his political pilot, Bill LANCER
comes out with an opinion to the ef
feet that, no successor having been
confirmed by the senate, Mr.. Packard
will hold over until the next session

again come before the legislature.
Only recently, Bill LANCER endeav
ored to convince the supreme court
that this rule could not hold good In
the case Of Messrs. Scow and Pow

successors. To be absolutely cor

does, claim that his bitter defeat was

the President said to the nation and
you will find it voices the warning Of
a prophet of old to a careless and
forgetful people: Il call heaven and
earth to witness that have set be-
fore you life and death, blessing and
cursing;. choose, therefore, life, that
thou and thys seed may live
That sameKWrrible warning is be.
ing voiced to@y by every thoughtful
man in this hation. They are begin
ming to see what the President has
seen for long months--the imminent,
immediate danger of this nation in
this world war. II,
The armies Of our allies cannot
win unless amply supplied with food
and munitions. If they do not win,
the United States remains the sole
obstacle between a victorious autoc-
racy and. world dominion.
That ID theS situation the President
sees and the SStoys from France and
Great Britain are emphasizing. The
German U-bdat blockade is very
serious matter. Unless England can
gather from the ends Of the earth,
food. munitions, equipment, steel and
coal to distribute to- France, Italy
and Russia, the Allies cannot sustain
the fight. II England, through starv-
alton, is forced to peace, the back
bone Of the battle against autocracy
is broken. Then America will have
to face the beast alone. .~..
That means millions of American
soldiers to the battle front, perhaps
on this very American soil. 1t means
the gravest peril to what Washington
and his patriots established in 1916,
and to everything that Americans
have added to the structure of free
dom and democracy since that time.
g How can 1t be averted? BY food
and supplies and ships to carry them
to the millions of soldier our allies
have furnished, ready and willing to
do the fighting if they can be fed and
equipped.
The United States government will
see to the providing of the ships
Only the people of the United States
can see that the food is supplied.
There must be such a harvest in the
United States this year as the world
never saw before. If this war is not
won by workers in the farm fields o
the United States, it must be won, OF
lost, in long years of war and at the
cost Of the lives of hundreds of thous
ands Of American boys and men. Is
that worth working and planning
for?
There is little more than month
left of seeding and planting time
From every point in this land should
thunder that message, Choose
therefore, life, that thou and thy seed
may live"
It should echo from every little
school house and be heard in every
lodge room in America. Every man
who has influence with another man
should put the situation squarely ur
to him. It should meet men and
women at every turn. Men should
strive for action, knowing that they
are working for God and their coun
try.
Action now that will bring a ret
ord food supply will save hundreds OF
thousands Of American lives, avert
orphaned homes, widowed wives
weeping mothers, save democracy.
Choose, therefore, life, that thou
