depends on the farmers of the
United States. Their every effort
to facilitate the garnering and
marketing the wheat and other
grains, will do more positive good
to the allies than all other eff
forts combined. The manufact-
ure of arms and munitions would
cease were it not for the mobili-
cation Of the food supplies of the
country which are produced
through the efforts Of the farm
err. Transportation would be
stopped, in fact everything in the
great war would be brought to a
standstill were ii not for the
efforts of the American farm
ers. Let the farmers stop their
work and in the shortest possible
time German and Austrian
troops would march triumphant
ly over the French and English
lines and later seek for huge
indemnities from the United
States. Therefore in price fixing,
the men who are in the commits
sary department of the United
States should be as fair and just
as possible Nand aid the farmers
in their work of supplying the
world with food.

The Mott Pioneer Press points on
the Importance of the present wa
to all future generations, in the fol
lowing way:
The man, woman or minor
who is not concerned as to the
outcome of the present struggle
is to be pitied and enlightened.
He or she is really unconcerned
through ignorance. They have
failed entirely to grasp the true
inwardness of the situation con-
fronting us as a people. Let US
suppose that the history Of our
country were to end with the
present generation. Does any
one imagine that our statesmen
would be materially interested in
the settlement of the questions
in dispute? Hardly.
Naturally, then, 1t Is mainly
the future of the country that is
to be considered. What that
future is to be will depend upon
our action now.

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

For the benefit of "slackers, paci.
fists and traitors" The Dickinson
Press publishes the following com.
ment:
An unarmed vessel is sailing
on the high seas on her legiti-
mate errand. Without warning
a German torpedo is sent into
her vitals. The crew of thirty
eight take to the life boats. The
submarine energies and COM
mands the luckless men to
mount her deck. The life boats
are destroyed, the life preservers
thrown into the sea. the U-boat
submerges and the victims are
drowned like SO many rats in a
tub of water. This in short is
the tragic story of the Belgian
Prince torpedoed on the last day
of last month. Think ii over q
minute, you slackers and paci-
fists and traitors to your coun-
try, who would still take the
desperate chance of having the
Huns invade your own shores
and make Belgium Of America.
The Williston Herald, on the even
ing of the opening of the fall term
of the public schools of the state,
has a timely admonition in the fol-
lowing editorial:
The first duty of high school
students is to their country, for
the United States needs men and
women OF trained and educated
minds. The majority OF the col
lege graduates of military SER
vice age are already in uniform,
many Of them are commission
ed officers, and thousands of
others are In the officers train
ing camps. France estimates the
value OF an officer at two hum
dT-ed times that of private.
for in this war where modern
science plays the greatest part.
brains we'll trained are of more
value than force of men. in
valuable as that force is.
When the war is over, the need
for educated men and women
viii be even greater. for the re-
construction period will be even
harder than that of actual war;
fare. The responsibility in this
will fall heavily upon the people
of the United States.
Every high school boy should
remain in school thisa year, and
those who are under conscrip-
ton age, who have graduated
from high school should enter
the universities this fan in order
to fit themselves for the best
possible service to their coun-
try.

There is a gripping interest about
the soldiers life that makes a strong
appeal to vigorous Americans. This
Is doubly true in time of war when
the soldier has serious object in
view and gives his whole mind to his
new duties.
You will find this interest growing
as you advance. New scenes and as
sociates will bring you a new point
Of view. You will be less wrapped
up than you have been in many
purely personal questions, You will
cut loose from many Of the petty
details which tend to smother a
mans individuality. You will devote
more time to thinking.
The healthy good fellowship of the
camp also can not fail to stimulate
you. Thousands of men drawn from
all walks of life can not be thrown
suddenly together without bringing
to light many qualities previously
unknown. You will probably be-
come better acquainted with yourself
than you have ever been before.
In order to get the most out of this
new life you must devote yourself to
1t heart and soul. A good start is
half the battle in making your way
in the army. Even If you are not
now. much interested in military aft
fairs-if you are entering the SER
vice, not because of personal inclina-
ton, but solely because it is one Of
your obligations as a citiZen-you
are going to become keenly interest
ed after you once get into the swing
and spirit of the army. This will be
true in at least ninety mine cases out
of every hundred. Recognize it now
and play the game hard from the
very start.
Your Monthly Pay.
While the men in the national
army are serving at the call OF duty
and not for money, nevertheless
everyone will be paid more than
enough to take care of all necessary
expenses. These expenses are very
slight. Clothing, food and trans
poTtation are provided by the gov
eminent. In addition, the private
soldier receives $40 per month while
he is in the United States and $33
per month while he is abroad. Fol-
lowing is a table which shows the
pay for some of the higher non-com-
missioned ranks:

inches below the waist and is made
with three-quarter bell sleeves and
comfortable loose arm-holes. The
sleeves and the lower edge are finished
with narrow bands of soft grey tur
and there is an embroidery OF the

most alluring costume, a Spring-ike
costume and it sounds such new
note that it is Of unusual interest,".
A great many beited coats and coats
that extend little below the hips will
be worn. They show variations and
notifications OF the Winter model,
but the loose coat that suggests the
Eton, vet is not an Eton, makes one
Of the featurts Of the season. A
second model giving the same idea is
closed at the front without a vest and
is finished with a narrow rolling collar,
but it shows three-quarter sleeves and
it is loose, extending Just a little below
the waist line, so that we may look
for those features with a certain sense
Of security.
Every possible period and every pos
sible influence is to be found in the
fashions Of the day. The various semi
Oriental countries that are engaged in
the great European struggle have had
their influence, but we also are looking
backward over historic times, and the
Moyen Age period and the Directoire
period both are represented. Great
designers use what they please and
each has his followers. Incidentally
it may be added that they do not
hesitate TO combine one period with
another and to take liberties Of various
sorts, If anything that makes a pretty
costume and an attractive costume
can be called liberty. Really, we are
not bound to follow this period or that.
If we take an idea from the Moyen
Age and another from the Direc-
toire and work them together into a
costume, we do not need to dub il
this or that, we we'll may be con-
tent If its beauty is apparent. A
handsome gown that gives evidence of
a feature that cannot be overlooked is
made of black satin that rs richly en-
broidered with gold and silver but it
is inset also with bits Of turquoise
blue velvet to give a very fascinating
touch. 1t is made in what we once
called a loose fitting princesse style,
but which was really suggested by
that period Of the middle ages that
knew only costumes of the sort. Il
hangs in loose lines and it is finished
with a round neck and with long
close fitting sleeves. At the neck there
IS a sort of yoke-like arrangement that
extends well down the front to form
an empiecement and this empiece-
ment S )ws rich embroidery with a
few insets of the blue velvet to give
relief. The long sleeves with the half
round neck belong to the Moyen Age
period and they are conspicuous, in
the designs Of the Spring. Satin is to
be a favorite material and the rich
embroideries harmonic with it to
perfection.
The sports costumes are a revelation.
They are marvels Of color and they

VUTTNTER here in old Gotham is
NJ apt 20 mean a succession OF
w disagreeable storms. Those
Of us who must stay at home and
endure them have little practical use
for the new costumes, but they are
DISPLAYED in alluring forms and one
likes to think of the South with It's
sunny skies, its pleasures. its beaches
and its what not, whether they are
to be enioyed in actuality or are not.
Such pictures afford a pleasant con-
trast to the rain and the sleet, and the
thought that there is enjoyment in
the world and that there are pleasure
spots Is always an agreeable one. The
output of Southern designs is inter-
esting, too, whether one uses them
Immediately OF does not, for they are
sure to reveal indications Of what is
to come with the Spring, and it may
fairly be said that they represent the
coming events which cast their
shadows before. With every change
OF season comes the favorite street
costume. Those exploited at the
South show many variations, but it
is a relief to feel that the coat suit
is 20 be a popular costume OF the
warmer season and that it is being
offered in really fascinating forms. We
shall wear a great many street gowns.
The simple one-piece gown takes an
important place and top coats for
sports or for country events will be
largely used, but the coat suit will
take an important place in the
Southern and in the Spring wardrobe
and the new coat suits are fascinating
in view Of the season and its needs.
To a certain extent the sports idea
colors all fashions. Sports cos
TUNES are by no means reserved
for sports. Unhappily, they are
not even always reserved for country
wear. One meets them out of place
and out of season, and sometimes
it would seem that they have been
so much misused so largely ex-
plotted in an unfortunate way, that
they cannot retain all their favor
and smartness, but the present out
look would indicate the sports cos
TUNES in greater number and in the
most picturesque effects, in striking
and vivid colors, while the color effects
and the certain briuiancy enters into
the costumes Of other needs, to a
limited extent at least.
A very beautiful street suit which
exemplihes much of the best that the
season has TO offer is of light weight
cloth IN a very beautiful shade of
blue that is bright and Spring-like
without being vivid. 1t consists Of a
simple full skirt with an under skirt
Of soft grey satin, this under skirt
being narrower than the over one Of
blue. Over the hips and below them
the skirt is embroidered with one wide
and one narrow band of grey soutache
applied over a simple stamped design.
At the front it is plain to give an effect
of height that always is becoming.
The front, by the way, is so arranged
as to form a wide box plat or panel,
consequently, the embroidery starts
beneath its edges. The coat marks
an innovation. IL IS a short, jaunty
