UP TO US TO WIN

About the only danger that could
threaten the success Of our arms in
the war upon which this country is
launched would be q minimizing of
the importance of the work before
US.
After almost three years of war,
after pouring out blood and treasure
until nearly bankrupt in both, the al
lied nations yet seem almost as far
from victory as at the beginning.
Their leaders admit the terrible de-
struction wrought by the U-boats, and
frankly rejoice that this country has
elected to cast its lot with them, prac-
tically admitting that without our aid
victory would still be far in future.
Now that we are committed to the
fray it should be our single aim to.
carry it to a successful issue. This
will never be done by half hearted
measures. What the allies need is
MATERIAL assistance food
and men. These we must furnish to
the limit of our resources. We must
pour money into their Golfers; we
must dispatch to their shores every
pound Of food not absolutely needed
to sustain life here; we must send to
France tremendous army that, add
ed to those of the allies, will by its
sheer weight Of numbers crush out
all opposition.
Let our part in the war be short,
sharp and decisive. We must prove
ourselves AMERICANS, and not
slackers.

ONE FOR ALL-ALL FOE ONE

The present high pressure stage Of
modern efficiency is demonstrated in
the momentum and rapidity with
which inventions, improvements and
reforms follow each other. What ~
quire centuries Of accomplishment is
now accomplished in decade; what
was left for q lone man to sspouse 10
supported assiduously by millions;
every aspiration and tendency has it's
source Of champions. Today, the most
efficient is not he of infinite learning
but he who has faith in what he be-
Heves-and works for it. And the
exemplification of efficiency is coop
Grafton. North Dakota and this COM
munity need more Of it.
Like the individual, q community
can only attain to its highest oppor-
tunity by efficiency. Its successes, its
failures, are eloquent Of efficiency or
the lack Of it. What the individual is
not willing to do the community can
not hope to accomplish. It is the
unity Of effort, the application Of the
best constructive forces within it in
Q common cause for the benefit Of the
community, that makes of that COM
munity power and impelling force,
. desirable place to live in, and the
best place in, the world to invest ones
money and buy the things one needs.
War is not holiday. On our sue
cesses or failures in the kitchen, in
the pursuits Of our daily occupations,
the Zone for all and all for one morale"
Of those left behind lon these, no
less than on our successes or failures
on the battlefield, depends whether
or not the nation shall stand or fall.
Each of us has his opportunity, his
serious responsibility. AS individ-
uals make community, so commune
ties make a nation. This nation must
not fall, it's banner of liberty be
trodden in the dust to submerge those
ideals of democracy for which the
flag stands.
We must take care of the COM
munity, give to it the best that lies
within US, and SO dedicating our ef-
forts insure to posterity, unsullied by
defeat or lapse in duty, those stars
and stripes that emblemize our lib
erty and ideals.

DRAIN ON FRENCH MANHOOD
Comparison With Other Wars Shows
How That Country is Feeling Ef-
fects Of Grim Struggle.

One day last week heard Sterhane
Lauzanue, editor of the Matin OF Paris,
SAY that ore person out of every ten in
France is q soldier ia the war.
That is terrifcally heavy Jnobiliza-
ton In no American war has the NUM-
Der OF soldiers in proportion to popu-
lation equaled that.
During the entire eight years of the
American Revolution 800 600 soldiers
served under Washington. Had they
all been in the army at once it would
only have matched the present French
mobilization but there were never
100000 soldiers in the Revolution at
one time-less than one person in
thirty of the population.
I About one in twenty, counting militia
who never heard the whiz of bull
let was the best they did in the war
of 1912.
The war of Mexico required only one
In 200.
Mobilization in the Confederate
states during the Civil war was heav-
Ter than in the Union states. The big
gest Union army in the field at one
time was about 100000, or one out
of every twenty of the Northern popu-
Iation.
The war with Spain called out only
one man from each 300 population.
Recently / heard member of the
Canadian parliament say that Canada
had raised 100000 troops for this war,
which makes the drain upon the Do
miniOn's manhood just half that in
France.
We're Russia to call out its nghting
strength, as France has done, the
czars army would embrace 100000
soldiers.
Verify, in the grim language or Bis
marck, on another occasion, France is
being bled white. ''-Girard in philadel-

Honest Man.

Annis Burke of the Claypool hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received a letter from a
man in Louisville, who. several days
before, had been guest at the Clay
pool.
III his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was pair of his over
shoes from his checkroOm. He dia not
notice that they were not his UAti, he
got TO Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his, but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had ,.ken his overshOes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had never no

CANADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LABORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it for food
stulfs, finds itself almost in the throes
of a labor famine. A novel mems Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going TO Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as a homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered TO count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been big pro-
Queer of grain and il is estimated that
there is a shortage Of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop In 1917. This shortage has
been caused by SO many young men
having left the farms to go to war and
1t is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
DO three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce.
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years AS
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada 5 need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
10 get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 160-acre farms, sat
isfy the Government that he is work
ing for farmer and that time will ap.
ply as residence ON the land filed for
just the same as if he was actually
living on it.-Adyertisement.

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CHILD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseatlng,
harsh physic into a
sick child.


Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on-castor oil. calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
n your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach. and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
OF California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies children
OF all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

TO PROTECT COAST
Navy Department Preparing for
Defense of Nation.
TO RUSH u-BoAT cHAsERs
High Speed Coast Patrol Vessels VIII
Be Delivered to Government With
in Threee Months-Bids for
Six Cruisers.

washington, March 14.--Navy de-
partment officers, preparing for the
defense of the nation in case of war,
took these steps:
1. Purchased 16 nonrigid dirigible
airships for coast and harbor patrol
work. Cost, $649.250.
.. Took steps toward contracting for
the quick construction of 100 or more
high-speed coast panol boats of hew
type for scouting against submarines.
Builders said that these could be lie
livered within four months.
3. Obtained information to be used
if the government decides to take con-
troll of shipyards in time of war.
4. Treated with Chicago and great
lake shipyards for the building of large
wooden vessels 40 feet long, propelled
by powerful steam engines.
Larger Than "chasers."
Details of their armament and equip
ment are now being worked out. but
probably will not be made public. They
will be more seaworthy and have a
much larger cruising radius than the
standard submarine chaser" an So
foot gasoline motorboat.
Some of the companies represented
in the conference have turned out
large numbers of "chasers" for the
British government They will have
to make changes in their plants in or
der to build the larger boats wanted
by the American government.
Representatives of the major ship
builders also appeared at the depart
ment during the day, bringing data
concerning their corporations and
plants. for which Secretary Daniels
recently asked
For Guidance in Crisis.
The information Is for use in de-
termining the allotment Of new con-
struction and also is desired for the
guidance of the government in the
event it becomes necessary to exer-
else the authority granted by congress
for communicating private establish
ments.
Secretary Daniels announced that
bids for six scout cruisers of the 30
knot type, designed last year, would
be opened Wednesday. Contracts for
battle cruisers will be awarded soOE
on the basis of cost and 10 per cent
profit already agreed on with the build
