Fargo and Moorhedd Bicycle Dealers
Join in Honori1g Return to 2 Wheelers

April IS TO May has been desig-
mated as Bicycle week by bicycle
manufacturers, Jobbers and dealers
all over the country 20 commemorate
the return to favor OF the reliable two

dealers win do their share in making

II am reliably informed by leading
manufacturers" said a well-known
local dealer today. that the total out.
put OF bicycles in this country last
year was very close to the million
mark. and only thR shortage OF raw
materials prevented the manufacture
and sale OF an even greater number.
Twenty years ago. when the coun-
try was bicycle crazy not one mill
lion bicycles were sold per annum. All
indications this year point to record
breaking sales. The bicycle business
has been going its way quietly and
efficiently, the poorer makes OF bicycles
have been weeded out and now the
manufacturers are making better BIZ
cycles than ever before and are turn
ing them out in ever increasing guam
titles in response to a steadily increaS-
ing demand.
This return OF the bicycle is not
a fad. The bicvcles are being ridden
because they fulfill a definite need
that is taken care OF by no other
vehicle. Schoolboys not yet old
enough to handle a motorcycle or an
automobile. simply have to have BIZ
cycles. The American boy does not
walk these days. He is as efficient as
his father. He rides a bicycle and
goes to more places, sees more sights,
gets there more quickly than his father
did. Mighty few American boys grow
up nowadays without having owned a
bicycle. If Dad doesn't buy one, the
boy earns one, by selling papers. car
rying parcels, doing errands. A boy
must have a bike, and he gets 1t.
Not only the boys are riding, how
ever. Mothers are encouraging their
daughters to ride. The mild, health
full exercise is beneficial to the grow

Autumn.

The colors, mists and airs of autumn
are here. The coming and the progress
of spring always call forth more praise
and notice than autumn. Especially is
spring favorite with the poets, who
throughout the ages have inclined to
paint autumn in sad and gloomy words.
They have called it the sad season of
the year. Poets sometimes have vision,
fancy and genius, but they are often
ingual extremists. In their verbal ex-
cesses they will turn language upside
down to put blue in the skies and pink
in the roses, with never a word about
late frosts, shivering robins, the Fourth
Of March or blighted peach crops. When
they adopt autumn as a subject it is
their habit to 60 the limit in harping

Wing Shots.

Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan edi-
toriaiize on the wing. They are here to-
day, and gone tomorrow. Neither is
chained to desk Neither is obliged to
keep Office hours. Both are keen and
restless men to whom routine would be
irksome. Both are probably at their best
under the existing arrangement.
Mr.. Roosevelt's task is the more try
ing. He is connected with daily paper.
He must keep up with the procession
His "stuff" must bear intimate relation
to what is passing. He must choose his
topics hot from the griddle.
Mr.. Bryan's paper comes out once a
month. He has leisure both for choosing
and treating topics. If he wants to
spread" himself on something that ap-
peals with unusual strength he has
time. He is not in hearing of any
raucous calls for copy.
The thing can be done. Mr.. Bryan has
been doing it for twenty years, and with
pen has been as busy as his tongue He
has probably sent in copy from every
state in the Union. His speaking en-
gagements are numerous, and they keep
him on the go. His popularity ON the
platform and the stump continues, not
withstanding the failure of his presi-
Dental ambition.
Mr.. Bryan could probably give Mr..
Roosevelt pointer or two in the bust
ness. As they are personal friends, they
ought to meet for the purpose Mr..
Bryan's experiences would be both in
teresting and valuable The veteran of
twenty years would speak with author
ity to the novice of a few days.
There are advantages and inspirations
IN such an arrangement. The writer on
his travels meets and converses with
many persons worth while; and many
good ideas are produced by such dis
courses. And, of course, Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Roosevelt, by virtue of their emf
nence, meet the intellectual pick of the
communities they visit.
The telegraph and the fast railway
mail service are blessings in this line
of work. The travelling newspaper cor
| respondent has long been served, and in
way to multiply his number and in
| crease his usefulness. The travelling
editoriaiizer is now in commission,
and his number may be multiplied.
Something depends on how Mr. Roose-
welt develops his opportunity, and shows
how often a wing shot can score. The
daily task is the true test.

Of both belligerent armies, has been the
! main obstacle to further Italian advance
and the overrunning Of the compare
lively few remaining defensive posi-
tions held by the Austrians in this par
ticular region. Fierce battles rage here
daily.
Adviccs indicate that Gen. Cadorna
soon will once more smash forward in
the region to the northeast of Gorizia
in order to reach the coveted goal-all
high lands dominating Austrian plains
before the winter months seriously cur
tail effective military endeavor.
Though there has been considerable
fighting on the Carso front which
stretches to the Gulf of Trieste, advices
would indicate that Gen. Cadorna has no
desire to forsake his present advantage
in the Monte San Gabrielle region for
the more chimerieal one to the south
ward. His forces in the latter region
continue to engage in minor infantry
activities while the Austrian lines de-
Tending Trieste constantly are bathed
in artillery fire, but the main Italian
effort very possibly will continue to be
excrted in the lower Julian Alps.
Gen Cadorna, however. may adopt
new tactics to meet the terrible resist
ance offered by the Austrians in the San
Gabrielle section. 1t would appear that
he seeks to isolate this position, sending
armies to either side and on to the east.
Preparations for the new drive are we'll
advanced He may strike at any mo.
ment.
Austria's military necessity is written
large on the face of current events.
Not only have military leaders removed
strong forces from the less dangerous
Trentino front. but have called on Ger
many for greater aid. Austrian forces
have been removed from the battle re-
gions of Galicia and Bukowina, which
provinces were practically reclaimed to
Austria by the Teutons' effective drive
of some weeks ago. Chaotic conditions
! existing in Russian armies preclude the
possibility of their assuming the often
siye in the near future, and Austria can
well transfer large proportion of men
on this front to resist the Italians. That
Germany also realizes the absolute peril
of her ally is indicated by the fact that
despite her own difficulties on the west
ern front she consents to the transfer of
certain Austrian units from this arena
to the Isonzo regions.
Further Italian endeavors undoubt-
edly will be resisted as at no time be-
fore. Gen. Cadorna's advantage will in
crease as he progresses, for the enemy's
natural defenscs will grow less and less
powerful The italian commander is
about to reach out. That he will take

tary leaders.

The National Party.

The name of the new party is not
felicitous for the purpose IN view. II
lacks observation-disclosures. Both OF
the old parties are national IN essence
and record. Both have made national
history of great Importance, and both
stand today for policies of large ma
tional import. Both are national IN the
most comprehensive sense of the word
A name Of itself, of course, neither
floats nor swamps party. The popuiIst
party did not flounder because of its
name. Neither did the progressive, or
bull moose, party. Neither did the
justice party. The prohibition party has
not succeeded as n national organization
because of its slender foundation. One
meritorious, is insufficient for an organ
lation asking national control when SO
many issues are always involved in a
national campaign.
Still, in this matter, there is some
thing in a name. A party should be
web named. 1t counts considerably in
the equation.
And this suggests, what has often been
noted, that the two old parties now in
existence are excellently named. Both
names describe popular government
"government of the people, by the peo-
ple, for the people," Both have been
tried in Office, and while in control have
made great history Both show illus
trious names on their lists.
Why should either name be .aban-
doned' The charge that both of the or
ganizations have fallen under maiign in
fuences. and that neither can longer be
depended upon to legislate for the COM
mon veal, is a mere flourish of i'm
patience. Nothing bears it out. Much is
quotable to disprove it. Both of the
parties are today in health, and capable
Of further sound service.
There is every probability at present
that the old organizations will survive
the war, and that even if the war con-
tinues until then the next presidential
campaign will be decided between them.
A democrat or a republican will be
elected President in November, 1920. So
that we shall probably see some of the
men who are figuring in this new move
ment shoot their bolts in little while,
and return to their old affiliations in
time to have hand in the naming of
the air when great battle is in progress

Latest British Offensive.

The latest British drive in Flanders
eastward of Ypres nets to the victors
nearly 5000 prisoners, gains ground of
strategic value, brings the Ostend-Lille
railroad under fire of British guns, in
dicts material losses on the enemy and
further shocks his morale. All gains
made are held. The British achieve the
same results which have followed each
Of their strokes in Flanders since the
tide Of battle turned. Every time the
British strike the Germans recoil To
blast the enemy out of his carefully pre-
pared and long held positions means
that the British have superior gun power,
superior man power or superior morale
The fair inference to be drawn from
the results is that the British are su-
perior in all three qualities. The Ger
mans counter attack, but their efforts
fail. They do not gain their objectives.
they do not retake the positions lost,
<Thieh, if not valuable, they would not
fave occupied and the counter attacks
Aerely interrupt but do not stop the
mmer blows that successively drive
Them out of their positions The Ger
mans do not meet attacks and make at
tacks as they did a year ago. This is
significant of the growing power of the
allies and the waning power of the Teu-
tons. How long they viii stand the pun

futile to argue with the poets. They

The importance of spring as season is

Fall. on the contrary, is the falling
time, though it is now very old fash
ioned to say "tha fall "Autumn" is
the proper thing The Latin parent of
that word meant the time of increase
or the time of ripening and fruiting.
Autumn has its charms It may not
be as sprightly and as dainty as spring.
but it has maturity and comfort. There
is also a substance in autumn which
spring has not. Radishcs and straw
berries are toothsome, but the corn and
potatoes of the autumn feed the man.
Spring is the time of blossoms, but it
is autumn when the trees and vines bend
under their weight of apples, pears and
grapes Besides all this, autumn is with
US now. and it is point of good sense
to appreciate and to make the best use
of that which we now enjoy.
