oLpHLANKET ON ENTHUSIASM.

Orders that all movements Of troops
must be looked upon as military Sc
crets, have had the effect Of throwing
a cold blanket on the military en-
thusiasm OF the country.
The orders may be a necessity from
a military standpoint, but they are
undoubtedly hurting enlistments. and
affecting the spirit Of the soldiers
themselves. The first troops that go
to France may slip away at night
aboard transports, and land at some
English port" before this country
knows they have gone. The New
York World has suggested that everSs
regiment that goes abroad. should
parade at some stated time. before it's
departure. The suggestion is a good
one. The time and place Of departure
need not be made known, but Ameri-
cans who stay at home should be
given the opportunity OF saying a
public farewell to the men who are
bound for the trenches. It would be a
good thing for the men who go and for
the rest of US who stay at home. Such
a parade would do the work Of a
thousand Liberty Bond statesmen, and
an equal number Of Red Cross solicit
tors.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
IS NEED OF THE NEGRO
Fifty Years of Educational Effort Re-
viewed In Report of National
Bureau,

washington, June 20.-Investigation
of so years OF educational effort
among negroes in the south, recently
completed by the federal bureau of
education and made possible by the
corporation of the Phelps Stokes fund
of New York, emphasizes more than
ton, particularly the education OF
negro children in agriculture and SIM
pie trades rather than the higher
learning of the printed page.
The investigation made by DR..
Thomas Jesse Jones, specialist in
the bureau of education, with a corps
of assistants under the direction Of
Commissioner Claxton, reviews so
years of effort by public author
tiles, northern philanthropists and
churches, and negroes themselves to
educate the black race in the south.
The report says three -fourths of the
$500 900 negroes in the south live in
rural communities, and that there are
5000, 900 negroes engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits, cultivating fully 100,-
100000 acres. AS owners and renters
of land, they are cultivating 41,500,00
acres. This acreage is twice that un-
der cultivation either in Virginia or
in New England, according to the re-
port. Nevertheless, the south does
not produce enough food to feed itself,
on the rest Of the country
annually for farm products recently
as worth $750,000,000.

CANADA DOING
BIT" WITHOUT
BEING PUSHED
Has Never Been Called On
For a Man or a Dollar
For War

Fergus Falls, Mimi, June 20-The
British parliament elected by Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, has never
called on Canada for a man or a dol
lar to carry on the war. The Cana
dian parliament, elected by the peo-
pie OF Canada, governs Canada.
When Great Britain decided to enter
the war, the Canadian parliament
voted to stand by the British in
avenging the invasion of Belgium.
Captain A. Hezzlewood, OF the Brit
ish army, who has been engaged in
recruiting work in Canada, made the
foregoing statements in an address
here. He Is a brother OF Mrs. A. r.
Kits OF this city, and was a promin-
the time of the war.
When Great Britain decided to en-
ter the war" said Captain Hezzle-
wood, the Canadian parliament voted
to stand by her. It first voted to
equip division, which means 10000
men. Within a month 10000 had
volunteered. and were armed and
equipped. In two months they were
on the seas. Then Canada decided
a total OF 100000 men. To date, it
has raised 100000 men. American
newspaper correspondents have told
us how these Canadians are lighting.
Often as high as $50 men have gone
into action, and came out with only
200."
Was Pacifist Nation.
Canada, according to Captain Hez-
zlewood, was like the United States,
a pacifist nation before the war; the
people there supposed that wars were
2 thing Of the past until the present
catastrophe overwhelmed them The
United States and the British Empire,
the closest of neighbors, had just
celebrated 100 years of peace. The
idea Of American troops ever cross
ing into Canada never occurred TO
them and Americans never dreamed
of Canadian troops marching into the
United States.
Captain Hezzlewood stated that
with only about 1000, 900 people Canada
has only raised $50, men and more
than twice that number volunteered,
but many have been rejected. Canada,
he said, has for two years been watch
ing the casualty lists roll up as this
nation will soon begin to watch
them; her homes have been desolated
as the homes of the United States
will be when the realities of war are
actually brought home.

Anent free speech the Fargo Ad-
vocate, the official labor organ of the
city, has the following to say:
THE only men who rant around in
fearful phraseology about the danger
to free speech in this land of ours, you
will find with few exceptions, to be
men whose past inclinations, and
present affiliations are with those
clamorous characters who defy all
laws of decency and patriotism, who
ramp and riot around with a far
greater degree of righteousness than
any paresis- be- deviled mariner on the
high seas of the unfit, and who, when
it comes to enthusiastically, and all
sacrificingly assisting the United
States in prosecuting this war to the
speediest and most triumphant con-
clusion are not worth the dynamite
to blow them to the seven islands Of
forgetfulness.
Nobody believes there is any dan
ger to free speech in this nation but
boss driven Socialists, and those foes
of the government whose mastodon
museums of thought would be en-
thralling studies for famous phren-
ologists whose interest in mental
phenomena, or in balance wheel
truancy is of continuous faithfulness.
The abusers of free speech will be
compelled to take the medicine they
deserve. This is war time.
Says The Grand Forks Herald: I'VE
have heard a good deal from and
about these citizens Of the world
The term is a broad and generous
one, and, rightly used, it bespeaks a
conception of human sympathy and
human duty altogether admirable. But
when the term is used to excuse the
evasion of obligations which all de-
cent people recognize, it is being
prostituted to an ignoble purpose"
Nobody can quarrel with this senti-
ment from The New Rockford State
Center: :, ..t
THE average man will of necessity
have to bear the brlint of whatever
burdens this war will impose, for
soldiers or money. While the very
rich will be hit harder than for years
perhaps in all their lives-yet the
heaviest burden, financial and other
wise, all things considered, will fall
upon the average men. Come to
think of it, while the average man is
overlooked at banquets and social
functions. and while he is not regard
ed as up on the latest. edition of the
tango, ETC.. yet he makes a mighty
good soldier and helps out wonder
fully when the nation has heavy
load to carry. 1t will pay big, there

Up

fore, for the country to be good to
him."
Says The Bismarck Public Opinion:
THE Fargo Forum thinks that the
suggestion of The Mott Pioneer Press
that millionaire barnacles be draft
ed for farming good, and try to
visualize some portly pultocrat riding
tractor at a. M Right in line
with this we would suggest that some
newspaper men take to riding trac-
tors at a. m; then maybe they
won't always be harping on the fact
that organization was all right for
the farmers If it was their kind of
an organization, one that would work
in the interest Of the plutocrats it is
trying to poke fun at"
Well, we've signed away our right
to the pursuit Of happiness for two
weeks, and promised to ride a trac-
tor during vacation if necessary.
Says The Hannah Moon: "Presi-
dent Wilson's message to the Russian
people is a definite, clearcut state
ment of principles for which the Uni
ted States stands in the present world
war. 1t is an expression OF a real
American and he speaks for all real
Americans"
Correct you are. sir.
The New Rockford Transcript won
ders: ''If God is with the Kaiser who
in HI is pushing Gen. Haig."
In paying a neat tribute to Former
Governor Hanna, The Williston
Graphic says:
when feeling runs high, when the
average man begins to think that
some one or some organization is en-
croaching on his right, his property,
or endangering his liberty, things are
apt to be said and done which later
bring regret. In times like these,
however there are always O few men
who stand out from the crowd, who
tend to business and 'hew to the line
where the hewing will do the most
good for the greatest number"
Regarding ingrates The Bismarck
Tribune says:
"a Socialist in lola Kan, in a pub
lie speech, grossly insulted the Stars
and Stripes.
THE man was caught by a crowd
of citizens and forced to salute the
flag and declare his love for it; then
released. Right enough and speaks
we'll for Iola's moderation as well as
patriotism.
But you can't make a patriot out
of an migrate"

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this lis pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces win last the whole family for
months.
{ Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonfuI is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy Iather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, 1T Ioosens
and takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff.
