GAINESVILLE, Mimi, July 16.-Clay
county has a very promising bean
crop this year. Owing to the high
price of the beans many farmers
have planted tracts who never raised
them before. Five and ten-acre
plots are numerous and several
farmers have as high as 40 acres.
Special help for the cultiyating
and the harvesting of beans u now

NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR.

Struggling home from Fort Shell
ing have come a number Of Fargo
and North Dakota men who have
failed to pass the severe physical and
mental tests prescribed for the stud
ent officers.
Many Of these young men are said
20 be feeling keenly a sense of
humiliation, and occasionally their
friends lower their voices when they
speak Of 1t, as IL it were a mark of
disgrace.
On the contrary, these young men
should be entitled to wear some lit
tie insignia to show that they have
at least offered their services to the
country.
The Fort Smelling test is a severe
one indeed. There are many minor
physical defects which will bar a
man. Many a man who has not had
college training. finds the studies
hopeless for him. after many years OF
close application to business.
s Others simply have not the person
atty for officers. and are unable to
master themselves and think in front
of company of men. It is incon-
ceivable that any man would give up
his business or his position and go
to Fort Smelling unless he had every
intention Of getting commission if
possible, and the man who has done
this is entitled to hold his head just
q little higher than before he went
away, instead Of feeling any necessity
for apologizing for his return.
MORE SHIPS; LESS DEBATE.
The American temper expresses
itself in the inelegant order to play
.ball' and that much quoted individ-
nal, the average man, is delighted
that the President has settled the
controversy between General Goeth-
ais and Mr.. Denman.
Whether the ships should be made
OF wood or of steel, or If both, SEEM
ed not so important as that they be
made.
With the Presidents decision
directing the Emergency Fleet corp
grafton of which Major General
Goethals is manager, to take charge
Of construction and authorizing the
shipping board to operate the vessels
after they are built and to requisi-
tion and operate tonnage now on the
seas. the dispute between the two
men Is ended and definite plan of
Action win be followed. The build
ing OF ships is one of the big tasks
of the war and to the people who
have heard indirectly great argu-
ment and talk over every question
seriously occupying the country
since March, decisions are greeted
with acclaim.
Work will now proceed. The news
dispatches give credit to the friends
of Major General Goethals as
blaming the Presidents decision as
victory for General Goethals. Mr..
Denman, chairman Of the shipping
board. believes that wooden ships
have been given a larger place in the
contracts that absorbed the first half
billion appropriation for ships. and

may be revived as to what proper

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

Says The Litchville Bulletin:
I'VE believe that war. as an
institution. will eventually be
banished from this planet, in
spite of what a certain Inilitarist
school of philosophy Of con-
tinental Europe teaches to the
contrary. War is repugnant to
at least 95 per cent of the worlds
population. But wars are declar-
ed by the other per cent with
out consulting the wishes of the
big majority. Eventually, and
God speed the day, autocracy as
a form of government will be
outlawed and all civilized nations
will be pure democracies. Then, q
government will perform no act
not in accord with the wishes of
majority, the power to de-
clare war will be taken from the
hands of kaisers and emperors
and the kings and lodged in the
hands of the people, and when
that day comes. war will be no
more"
What have you done?" is tn,
pertinent question asked by Thu
Pembina Pioneer Express. in tn,
=
What have you done to help
win the war? Think it over; you
will readily admit your duty in
this direction but have you per-
formed, shall you perform that
duty?
This does not mean the SUI
preme duty of offering your life
to your country. That test comes
to comparatively few but you,
whoever you are, without distinc-
ton of sex or age, have duties in
patriotic services to your coun-
try. These latter services may
and mostly do mean the perform
ance of very ordinary things in
ordinary life. Cultivation Of corn,
digging potatoes, clerking in a
store or bank. cooking the fam
lily meals, may all be mixed up
with patriotism. But not every
one who raises corn, potatoes, or
washes dishes becomes thereby a
patriot"
The Casselton Reporter comments
on North Dakota aridity as follows:
Two lumbermen, who were
coming to North Dakota, bought
a quart of whisky in Moorhead
and brought 1t over the North
Dakota line. They were appre-
hended and will become famous,
as theirs was the first case un-
der the 'bone-dry' law. In UNI
ted States court Judge Amidon
ruled that a single bottle Of
liquor carried into this state,
even though for personal use. is
interstate commerce in the
80 he %
of March 8, 1911 commonly
known as the 'bone-dry' law.
The Judge considered the men as
unwilling violators of the law
and imposed only a nominal fine
of $500, but rather intimated
that future criminals would be
used in different manner"
The Fargo Advocate comments as
follows on the /. w. W.:
Socialism running rampant in
ridiculous riotry is what Russia
had for a. while. Do the sane
people on this side of the big
ocean desire anything like that
over here? Masked deliverers Of
]. w. w. poison, anarchists, and
organized freebooters of the till
ers of the soil, are proving such
dangerous menaces to the right
eous laws of our land, and such
dastardly gun-spiking enemies to
speedy progress in this war, that
the United States government
has decided to do something def
mite and drastic to eliminate
these demons of deviltry. Uncle
Sam will strike in this war,
swiftly and decisively, and can
not be hampered by menacing
misfits."

knives as a golf player uses clubs.
Fortunately butchers do not use as
much coarse language as golf players
do. 1t is just as well that golf
players took the idea upsf1rst. one
could never send the children to the
butchers IL he cursed like a golf
player.
In cutting a large piece of meat a
butcher first makes a start with his
pocket knife, then he gets down a
large Persian cutlass, a Spanish
rapier and several dirks and bilbos.
When these are tossed aside ne
swings a battle-axe to break the
bone and then gets out his buck-saw.
In some cases a whinyard and a
scimitar are necessary.
Butchers are usually poor at do
ing sums. This is why fifteen cents
worth of cold ham always comes to
eighteen cents.

British, Italian and French delegates
met together. l hope this fall to see
the American delegates also meeting
with us.
France already has sacrificed one
third of her manhood. Out of seven
millions OF men who were modified,
two millions are either dead or inca :
pacitated for further fighting. The
losses of our allies are just as severe,
Russia has lost three millions, and the
losses of Rumania and England have
been tremendously heavy.
1T is this man power exhaustion
which makes il necessary for our
countries to consider every day wheth-
er the continuance of the war is pos
sible, whether the sacrifices have not
been too heavy. whether it is worth
while to continue to impose these sac
rificeS on our peoples.
we have considered this PROPOSE
ton repeatedly, and the conclusion we
have arrived at is that whatever it has
cost and whatever it may cost, 1t
would be crime now to stop the war.
