FAReo's DUTY.

Fargo today is sqsarely confronted
with a duty and an opportunity.
/ Members of the executive commit
tee in charge of the Liberty Loan in
North Dakota are meeting today to
complete their plans for disposing of
the states share of the loan.
The campaign is on, and every cit
lien of Fargo should ask himself, not
shall subscriber" but how much
is it possible for me to subscriber"
Every dollar OF this loan must be
placed in America. Former loans for
American enterprises both warlike and
peaceful, have come. in part at least,
from the stocking banks of the thrifty
peasants Of Europe. No such assist
ance is expected or desired this time.
This is an American loan, and peo-
pies loan.
The committee hopes to raise at
lease t15.OOo.OoO in North Dakota.
Based on population. that would be
about the states share Of the total.
Every citizen OF Fargo should ask
himself: how many Of the bonds
can / handler"
The Forums news columns will con-
tain fun information as to where ana
when the bonds may be procured.

KEEPING ABREAST.

WAR strips the frills from the life OF
a municipality as well as from that OF
the individual.
Movements which seem vital in times
OF peace sink into relative unimport-
ance in wartime, not because they lose
any of their inherent worth, but be-
cause every movement Is subordinated
to the call OF the country.
THE Fargo Commercial club has dis
covered this fact in time to avoid be-
ing left drifting aimlessly in civic
backwater. According to local item
in The Forum last evening, the club is
planning to turn itself into patriotic
organization, devoting all of it's activi-
ties to the many lines Of service open
tD those who are not doing the actual
fighting.
Some of those lines are: Red Cross
work; survey of the labor and ma
chinery of the state; the home defense
Ieasue; the four minute men; aid in re-
cruiting and in organizing the machin-
cry for CONSUMPTION.
Fortunately, the Red Cross work will
be we'll taken care of by those already
in charge. The commercial club needs
do nothing more than lend it's active
support.
: The survey Of labor is a big task.
Dakota's manufacturing industries
making anything of value to the coun-
tfy in wartime, are few and unimport-
ant. but the farm labor problem is
Tremendously important one. Fargo
should place itself at the head of the
cities of the state in an effort to solve
this problem. It is vital that the labor
needs of the state be known, that they
be supplied, and that the distribution or
labor be efficient and prompt. Without
funds for its work the commission ap-
r,ointed by the governor can do little,
and the commercial clubs Of the state
will have to step into the breach.
= The home defense league is already
we'll organized, and needs only the sup
port of the club. but organizing the
four-minute men is another big task
and an important one.
Other activities will call for atten-
ton and the commercial club has the
opportunity to act as the one big clear
ing house for all war activities, not
only in Fargo but in all of North Da-
kota. Fargo must assume the respon-
sibilities as well as the perquisites of
being the metropolis of North Dakota,
and the state has a right to look to
her for leadership. There will be no
Question about cooperation If Fargo
shows the way.

PASSES AT $46s.75
Sixteen Bases on Balls in Two Games
Costly For Kansas City
Owner.
(By Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, May 10.-Each
time Roy Sanders gave q base on balls
during the two games he pitched re-
Gently for the Cincinnati Reds, George
Tebeau, owner Of the Kansas City
team of the American association, lost
$468.75. Those are the figures a
statistical fan here has compiled since
Sanders was turned back to Tebeau's
team.
The basis of the fans calculations
was that Sanders had been sold to
the Reds for $500, but he allowed
sixteen walks in the two games and
then was sent back. Just what final
disposition will be made of Sanders
has not been determined by Manager
CAMEL of the Blues.

Condition Brought About by War Con.

Houses For Rent.

London, May 10. - War conditions
have brought about serious diminu-
ton in. the volume of business on the
London property market, and also in
the prices obtained for the compare
lively few properties that have changed
hands.
Figures just compiled show that sales
by auction or by private transaction
have declined so per cent. Regarding
the letting of house property. there has
been a sharp decline in the leasing of
large houses, and the letting of medium
houses is almost stationary; small
houses are let readily. In the case of
shops there is a normal demand for
large and medium sized places, while
the letting of small shops is at dis
count Factories have found tenants
without difficulty and rentals have fol-
lowed the demand.

TOWER or LONDON
FOR WAR MUSEUM
Favored Because Better Adapted Than
Other Famous Sites
Offered.
fBy Associated Press.l

London, May 1O.-The Tower Of
London is favored as the place destin-
ed to become England's greatest war
museum because moat surrounds it
in which could be displayed the Ger
man submarines captured in the war.
The Crystal Palace and other less
famous places that have been offered
as sites for the museum possess no
such feature.
In housing the relics of the present
war in the ancient Tower of London
there is no thought of displacing the
historical exhibits 1t now contains. The
collection will illustrate the operations
of the navy all over the world and OF
the army on all the fronts. The
admiralty, the war Office and the
ministry of munitions will deposit in
the museum a large mass of official
exhibits.
It is planned to hold a preliminary
exhibition during the coming summer.

there, are speaking of reorganizing the
Nonpartisan league"
Not boastfully, but simply in the
spirit of spreading the truth, The Mott
Pioneer Press relates the following:
"A farmer hitched up to his old
wagon the other day and brought a
load Of twenty-five bushels of potatoes
to town. He traded his load for a new
wagon, sold his old one to a second
hand dealer for $50 (more than the
potatoes cost him to raise) and left
for home wearing a smile visible from
the rear. Who says the tales of the
Arabian Nights are fiction?"
The Forman Independent News is
entitled to place in the Open Forum
with the following: The market
quotations on kings is now the lowest
in the worlds history-in fact about 10
cents on the dollar, with little prospect
for recovery and less yet for dividends
in the future" Good time to sell Kings
Preferred short. Queens and Princes
should decline in sympathy.
The editor of The Valley City Cour-
Ter admits he may be a crab and then
promptly proves he isn't with the fol-
lowing:
Maybe the editor is a crab, but it
takes a crab sometimes to start some
thing. Why does basketball, football
or baseball come ahead of patriotism
in this city?
"A striking illustration OF this comes
to our notice at this time. One of
our high school students left Wednes-
day morning to take up his cross for
the government in the navy service.
Did we hear half hundred fanatical
school students yelling their heads off
with the school yell? No. Did some
body give him wrist watch? Not on
your life. Yet this young man with
his face turned to duty, has left his
home. his schooling and all the
pleasures of a young life, to give his
services, and his life If need be, for
his country"

ENoLANp's MIRROR.

Newspapers are records or current
events; mirrors Of the times. To the
Forum office, daily, comes a copy Of
The London Times. THE Thunderer"
and the picture it mirrors is not "Mer-
RE England" but g. saddened. deter
mined England, bent on seeing it
through"
More than page printed in type al
most too fine to be legible, is devoted
to THE Roll Of Honor" a list Of SOL
diers and officers wounded or killed
in action. The picture it centuries up
of an English family feverishly scan
ming the lists, hoping and praying that
a. familiar name does not appear, is
not a pleasant one, but it is a picture
that may be not unknown in Fargo
before many months have passed.
The advertisements tell many a
story, most Of them tragic. 'Tnel-
sigible" is the word that appears at the
tend of most advertisements for a po-
sition found in the want columns, pro-
ivided the seeker is a man. If the word
lis missing, the advertisement general
sIy states that the writer is an officer
invalided home or disabled. England
has little use for the man not in khaki.
unless he has a good reason for it.
: Outside OF a page Of stock quotations
and financial news, and appeals for
various charities and reports OF their
activities, the newspaper is virtually
war journal. The campaigns on the
different fronts are discussed in a
way that presupposes the complete ia
miliarity Of the readers with every de-
tail Of terrain.
Judged from its principal newspa-
per, England is a country with but one
aim. one hope, one thought-war.
