great idea and we hope to live
long enough to see it come true.
The Parshall Leader makes the
following comment on the conviction
Of Mrs. Kate O'Hare:
Kate CHare, Socialist speak
er, was found guilty under the
espionage act and will be SEN
fenced soon. She is q disgrace to

is merited and would have a
salutary effect in preventing

The Casselton Reporter comments
as follows on the saving Of meat and
wheat:
H. C. Hoover, federal food adj
ministrator, in a recent state
ment made some claims that ev-
cry American ought to know. He
said:
The results of meatless days
have for the first time created a
sufficient visible supply Of meat
to allow us to partially comply
with the quantities requested by
our allies.
As to wheat we have already
exported the whole OF the sup
plies of 1917 harvest, over and
above the normal demands. It
is now necessary to restrict ex-
ports so as to maintain supplies
at home. Therefore all exports
from this time on are limited to
the amounts the American peo-
pie save from consumption.
Dealers in meat and flour, and
people all through the land
should think this matter over.
Our country demands conserva-
ton. Millions Of homes can still
help the government. Let us all
do it with a win.
The Mandan Pioneer comments on
Governor F'razier's advertising Of
his patriotism, as follows:
Governor Frazier has sent out
large posters with his photo en-
bellishing the center, while
around Is printed his loyalty ad-
dress. Strange that the governor
of an American state should find
II necessary to advertise himself
as being loyal. Wen bet dollars
to doughnuts that Governor
Burnquist doesn't have to do this
to convince his people Of his
simon-pure' Americanism. No,
Gov. Frazier, you may buy tons
of paper, and smear barrels OF
ink over 1t, and you can't con-
vince the real one hundred per
cent pure American citizens OF
the United States, that a man
who sat on the same platform
and cheered the disloyal speech
of La Toilette, or who sat on
the platform in Williston when
Townley said "this is q war Of
the rotten rich" and did not
raise his voice in protest (per-
haps you even cheered this);
that a man who fought to the
last ditch for House Bill Az
which cut the word patriotism"
out Of the constitution of the
state: that q man who invited
the notorious peace pcounciI to
come into the state and hold its
meetings; that a man who har-
bors the Tottens, the O'Hares,
and Socialists and disloyalists,
you can't convince by cold type
against your acts that you are
the real thing In loyalty, that you
are the kind Of an American
that the patriotic farmers and
business men of this state ought
to have in the governors chair
at any time, much less in this
time Of the country's emergency.

industry in March and September,
1914, 1915 and 1915. These figures
were reported by the employers and
the Burger Zeitung accepts the data
as typical for the better paid classes
of workers" These wages were in
creased between one-third and two
thirds in the different trades from
March, 1914. to September, 1916, and
then, at the high point, German
workmen were averaging from 1872
per day in the wood industries to
$1.96 in. the iron and metal trades.
And that meager reward il the best
that the German toiler has ever
had.
No wonder that just before the war
a social survey Of Berlin found 55
per cent Of all the families in the
kaiser's capital lodged in one room
for each family. They couldn't pay
rent for two rooms. That's where
the rulers OF Germany got some OF
their money. They practiced the
class struggle while their dupes were

Gated in the northeast corner of the
southwest quarter of section 16-4-3
in territory that few months ago was
regarded as worthless. The sand was
reached at 1884 feet and when the drill
had penetrated it to a depth of 16

production looked good for $50 barrels.
At this depth the well caved in and
drilling operations have been delayed.
When deeper drilling is done the
chances are that production will be
materially increased.
