Of Peace

ME whole air at the first Christ
mastide was tremulous with JOY.
1t, was a time for holy song, for
inspired paean, for seraphic song. Let
joy come still to our homes and hearts.
Christ gives brightness and beauty,
gladness and glory, to the whole circle
of life and duty. Come, Lord Jesus
There shall be room for three in our
homes. Once there was none in the
inn, but only in the stable. Now our
best is thine. Only honor US with thy
benefcent presence.
Let US away with strife at this sea-
son. Now is the time to speak kindly
words. Let us not carry into the new
year the enmities of the old. Let not
the harsh notes Of contention come
into the heavenly song Of peace.
Christ came to give peace, and from
heavens throne today he bends to give
peace to all who trust him. He was
the only person ever born into the
world who had his choice as to how he
should come. He might have come
man, as did the first Adam. He came
a babe. He inserted himself into our
race at it's lowest and weakest point.
If he were to lift the race he must
get under it. He glorified the cradle;
he glorif1ed boyhood; he sanctified
motherhood.
But Christ must be born in each
heart in order that we may have true
Christmas. Are we rejoicing in the
gifts Of human love? Shall we be
mindful Of him who is the "unspeak-
able gift?"-Rev. DR.. Robert s. Mac
Arthur in Homiletic Review.

Child Jesus comes from heavenly
height
To save US from sins keeping.
On manger straw, in darksome night
The Blessed One lies sleeping.
The star smiles down, the AnseIs
greet,
The Oxen kiss the Baby's feet,
Hellelujah, halleIujah,
Child Jesusl
Take courage, soul in grief cast down:
FORGET the bitter dealing.
A Child is born in David's town
To touch all souls with healing.
Then let US 60 and seek the Child,
Children like him, meek, unde6led,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Child Jesasl

Oh, blessed day which giv'st the eternal

Oh, come to US amid this war of life
To hall and howell come! To all who toll

HUDSON BREAKS
STOCK RECORDS
IN MANY Events
Super Six Sets Marks in Speed,
Hill Climbing and Cross
Country Runs

Since its introduction at the autO-
mobile shcw last year the Hudson
"super-six" has won practically every
stock car record in the country. Per
haps the greatest of these is its round
trip across the continent, made In
IL days and 81 hours.
A seven passenger touring car
which, with baggage and passengers,
weighed 5000 pounds, was driven from
San Francisco to New York in days
3 hours 81 minutes. 1t beat the best
previous record by IA hours SO min
utes.' II beat the best time held to
within a month Of the time the Hud-
son made its run by 1-3 days.
At the end of the trip the Hudson
was going so well that II was decided
to turn it about and try for a record
going back. 1t was the first attempt
ever made by a car to do a round
trip across the continent. The return
trip was made in days 81 hours, or
a total for the entire round trip Of
10 days 81 hours. Heavy rains were
encountered in the Sierra Nevada
mountains on the way back. which
delayed the time fifteen hours.

ing a Hudson stock "super-six" chas-
sis, covered 1919 miles in "a hours on
the Sheepshead Bay track under

With this same car, with racing
body equipment, Milford had made the
fastest time for a stock car on record
with the American Automobile asso-
citation when, on Daytona beach, he
covered a measured mile at the rate
of 1G25S miles an hour.
The greatest hill climb in the world
is that up Pixies Peak A super

way. It defeated 20 cars for this non
stock event.
The "super-six" showed such speed
that it attracted the attention of race
drivers looking for mounts. Ira Vail

The old Prussian army grouped to-
gether its giants; the Russian army

men and others unhappily distinguish
ed by physical popularity. Idiosyn,
crasies of the kind extended farther.
At coronation soldiers lining the

The new form of salute is a symbol of

M. Kerensky's substitution of the
voluntary salute for the compulsory in
the Russian army may seem a small
matter to the man In our streets,
though appalling to our martinets. In
reality is possesses a significance I'm
pondered by either. Until the Revolu-
ton, military regulations of the Mus
covite forces perpetuated degrading
traditions. The Emperor Paul was a
snub-nosed man, so all his snub-nose1
soldiers we're 5rigaded together, in
compliment to their sovereign. -.

The Ananias Club

The Minneapolis Journal: John NJ.
Baer, North Dakota's Nonpartisan
league congressman, promptly con-
Ananias club for charging him with
saying in his campaign for election
that "Americanism is not an issue.
The charge was made by the Col
onel on the occasion of his twin city
visit, and it evoked from Mr.. Baer
long telegram in which he denied
"once and for all" that he had ever
made the statement that "Ameri-
canism is not an issue.
But the files of The Fargo Courier
News, organ Of the Nonpartisan
league, furnish evidence that Mr..
Baer did make precisely the state
ment that Colonel Roosevelt accused
him Of making. On June 28, under
a Cando, N. D., date line, the Nom
partisan organ printed an account Of
a speech by Mr.. Baer, and quotes
him as saying:
Bread and butter problems are be-
fore the people today. Bread and
butter problems have to be solved. 1t
is no time to attempt to make Amer
icanism an issue and win the cam
paign by flag waving"
Really, Mr.. Baer owes Colonel
Roosevelt an apology, unless. he
means to consign The Courier News,
which is supported, maintained and
edited by the league whose candidate
he is, to that same Ananias club,
whittier he advises the Colonel to re-
tire.

THE ECHO IN EUROPE.

Expressing suspicion Of Pres
ident Wilson's demand for a
democratiZed Europe because
America herself was far from a
real democracy, he concluded his
address, after a tremendous ova-
tion by praying for blessings on
the peace exertions OF Pope Ben
edict and Emperor Charles."-
News Dispatch.
Here is the echo of the Obstruction
lists heard in Europe.
The foregoing dispatch is an ex-
cerpt from the address Of an Aus
trian statesman at a peace demon
stration in Vienna.
The Obstructionists are obstruct-
ing not only the successful conduct of
the war, but even more directly the
coming of peace.
The banners that were faunted by
the handful of militant suffragists,
the rantings of La Toilette, the con-
slant railings for the "conscription
of profits, when profits were being
conscripted, the yelps Of the paci-
HSISS ana tue open revolution pTGdCn-
ed by the 1. w. w. put those words
into the mouth of that Austrian
statesman.
If the words mean anything, they
mean that Austria wants peace,
wants even an American peace, but
fears to accept an American peace,
because she fears that American
democracy is a sham. Who told her
American democracy was a sham?
Who sent the word across the At
who has a son who is likely to be
home Of freedom?
The answer to that question strikes
home to every American who has a
son in the service; to every American
who has a son who is likely to be
drafted If the war is prolonged.
America is just coming to a reali-
zation Of the harvest that will be
.reaped from these seeds of disloyalty,
and it is time for the sewers to hunt
cover.

An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.


The Minneapolis Tribune: Il is
greatly to be hoped that North Da-
kota as farming community will
not suffer an enduring black eye be-
cause of the figures submitted by ex-
perts from that state at the Nonpar-
| tisan league conference in their ef-
| fort to show that the government s
basic price of 1920 for wheat is quite
too low to AFFORD the North Dakota
farmers a fair profit on their grain
]. N. Hagan, commissioner OF
agriculture of North Dakota, offered
data tending to show that the cost
of producing a bushel of wheat in
his state was far above 1920. He
talked glibly of poor yields, Of the
frequency of crop failures and of
other adverse conditions. He placed
the average yield per acre this year
at seven bushels. which properly may
be called a crop failure.
The general impression to be gain
ed from Mr.. Hagan's exposition of
this and other years in North Da-
kota was that that state Is q good
one for the farmer, prospective
farmer, or land buyer to remain away
from. What DR.. E. +. Ladd, presi-
dent Of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college, had to say did not help
much to dispel the impression, al
though he thought 1920 a busheI
might be a reasonable price for his
farmer neighbors If the government
would see to it that prices Of other
things were made proportionate to
that Of wheat.
Now come ten farmers of Cavalier
county who have pooled their mathe-
matics and figured 1t out that with a
yield Of 10 bushels per acre-in round
numbers-the cost to produce a
bushel of wheat was $2.6S. The
Minot Daily News says these farmers
made their reckonings on an average
Of several years,
Although the wheat crop Of very
many North Dakota farmers was
very poor this year, it is to be doubt
ed that the agrarian interests of our
sister state, or any other class of
citizens who wish to see the state
develop in population and agricul-
tural wealth, will thank these cal
culators for the publicity they are
giving the community. Isn't it true
that North Dakota is a much more
attractive state for wheat farming
than it has been painted by these
statisticians? If not, why have
farmers gone on raising wheat there
from year to year?

WILLING TO REVIEW
! "PIRATING" CASE
Supreme Court Will Pass On Iniunc-
tion Granted Associated Press.
CBy Associated Press. J

Washington, Oct. 10.-A supreme
court decided today to review federal
DEGREES which restrained the Inter-
national News service of Hearst
service "from pirating" news from
The Associated Press. The action
does not stay the operation of the
injunctions.
New York, Oct. 10.-The case of
The Associated Press against the In
ternationaI News service for pirating
Associated Press news was decided
by the circuit court of appeals OF this
district. There was no right of ap-
peal to the supreme court, but both
sides petitioned the supreme court
for a writ Of certiorari to review it,
The Associated Press being anxious
to secure a decision of the highest
tribunal in the United States upon
the subject.
The petition OF The Associated
Press for a writ of certiorari recited
that ii would be content to rest it's
rights upon the decisions below
without requesting the supreme
court to assume the burden, except
that nothing but a decision Of the

HOOVER SLOWLY WINNING.

Minneapolis -four mills cut their
prices another fifty cents yesterday,
and on the same day. Julius H.
Barnes, head Of the government
grain corporation, announced in q
speech at Oklahoma City that ma
terial reductions in the price of -four
should result in the very near fu-
ture.
The United States food admins
tration department is putting up a
gallant fight to solve an almost i'm
possible problem and it is winning
slowly. The maximum price Of wheat
before the food administration took
the market in hand, was approx
mately $3O6 a bushel. 1t was cut to
S2.2O, a reduction of So cents a bush
el, or about % per cent.
The maximum price reached for
-four was about $3.50 per barrel, and
il has been reduced to $1O.5O or ap-
proximately 40 per cent, with the
promise of still further reductions.
MIR. Hoover and his associates have
before them the most difficult prob
lem that has arisen from the war,
and they seem to be making a very
promising effort to solve 1t. Before
taking office. Mr.. Hoover said that
The food administrator would be the
