THE FIRST BALE OF COTTON.
(~llouston Chronicle.


The first bale of cotton has come in
from Lyford, of course.
Ii opens up a season which promises
well for the Texas farmer.
The price has broken all records, and
taking into account all possibilities of a
decline "a the crop comes ON, il promises
TO be unusually high.
Those who wanted valorization in 1914.
when cotton was selling for q cents. may
thank their lucky stars they didn't get it.
If they had the buyers would now have
a chance to invoke government aid on the
reverse side of the ledger.
In the meantime there is little in sight
but prosperity for Texas.
With 25-cent cotton and - oil we can
well afford to be optimistic. even If We do
have To pay S14 a barrel for flour.
Fall should find this state in a splendid
financial condition, and ready To increase
liz agricultural and manufacturing output
for the next year.
With shipbuilding under way nj all our
principal ports, with a ready market for All
our products, and with capital TO work on.
there appears no good reason to worry
about the future.
When the thousands of ammunition
workers are turned loose in the East after
the war j. over we shall be in a fine posi-
tion 10 tell them of q god place in which
10 live and invest their savings.

Memorial Day at Breckenridge

A large number of Odd Fellows
and Rebekahs responded to the in
vitation extended by the Brecken-
ridge Odd Fellows to attend the
Memorial services of the lodge held
at the Methodist church there. A
large chorus choir rendered several
beautiful selections and assisted
with the singing of the hymns. The
sermon was preached by Rev. DR..
Dodds, pastor of the church, and
was an impressive one, dealing with
the vital things of today and show
ing how the principles of the order
were such that practicable appli.
ance could be made of them for
the good of mankind. Friendship
and love are two very essential
things in these days of strife when
hatred seems to predominate.
The meeting was a successful
one i'll every way.

A Curious Mistake

A curious mistake in fact is be-
ing passed along by some Of the
Minnesota newspapers with regard
to Colonel Roosevelt and the policy
of the United States in the early
days of the war. The Madison In
dependent Press apparently start
ed the ball a-rolling, and others
are keeping it going.
Here is what the Independent
Press said:
1t would have been much
better for this country if his
(Roosevelt 50 advice has been
acted OH the day that Ger
many invaded Belgium. Had
we acted then we would now
have an army, and it is pos
sible that the war would be
over and that without our hav-
ing to send man to Europe.
Why, friends, Roosevelt's adj
vice at the time of the violation of
Belgium WAS acted upon! 1t
was followed to the letter-not be-
cause it was his advice, but be-
cause, by some strange freak of
chance, Roosevelt at that time saw
things in a proper light and prop
or relation, and declared over his
own signature. in his own magazine
that the Belgian violation, bad as
it was, was not a thing to cause
this country to interfere.
Had we acted then" we would
have acted directly contrary to the
advice of our most strenuous ex-
president-and would never have
heard the last of it. "Had we act
ed then" we could have done no
more than protest against the Ger
man action; for under the admin
istrations of Roosevelt and his self
chosen successor our army had
been reduced in numbers. our an
my and navy supplies had been
allowed to run low. and our naval
program had been left at the mer-
cy Of greedy private interests that
were literally bleeding the nation
al treasury for their own special.
individual gain.
Why not forget politics in dis
c'lssing our present situation, and
admit that even a democrat may

HAVE BIPRAPPBD
RIVER BANKS

Through the Waterworks depart
ment the city of Wahpeton have
riprapped the Ottertail and Red
river banks at the neck of Island
Park.
Due to the high water last year
the river banks on the east side of
the Red river and the west side of
the Ottertail the river banks are
fast eating away. This spring just
after the ice went out, the banks
again began to slowly slide stream
ward. The neck has now narrowed
down to about fifteen feet i'm some
places.
Within this fifteen feet there is
somewhat of a strange phenomenon.
10 people who have not seen this
place, we might say it is the only
place near here where one river
runs south and the other north. The
riprap work is being done with the
cement blocks taken from the street
crossings, owing to the paving of
Dakota avenue this year.
Another place where the river is
slowly but surely cutting it's way
into the bank is on the east side Of
the Red river where the main trunk
of the water line running from the
he'd river to the place of inlet near
the power house in breckenridge.
1t seems to us that the city of
Breckenridge should also Join
hands with the Wahpeton officials

the job could be completed this
year and done for good. as the old

WILL TRAIN AT
DEMlNG, N. N.

North Dakota guardsmen, as
well as those of the 18th divisional
area comprising Minnesota, Iowa,
North and South Dakota and Ne
braska, will put in their period of
training at Deming, n. NJ.
This information was carried
Tuesday in an announcement of
Secretary of War Newton ID. Bak-
er relative to the location of
guardsmen training camps in the
south and southwest. There are to
be several i'll Texas, one in Okla
homa and one in Deming. Trans
portation facilities and directness
OF route are said to have brought
about the determination to send
the 18th divisional area militiamen
to Deming. The route from Min
neapolis is direct through Kansas
City. This designation is expected
to stand unless there is a later
change by the war department.
Deming. is an ideal camping spot
being well elevated and no mes
quite jungle or swamp to clear,
such as the men had at on the
border in the camp of 1916.
1t is reaffirmed today that the
guard on mobilization will be held
about two weeks in the armories to
allow the men to arrange home af-
fairs or attend to business details.
They will then be sent to Deming
making it probable that North Da-
kota troops will be on their way
to the border again about Aug. 1.

One by Ono the Roses Fade

Fairmount Friday afternoon and
when the battle was over there
strewn on the field of battle laid
ten killed and six wounded.
Rapid Firer Hyperion using a
curtain fire again their frontal at
tack and massed formation was to
no avail, they keep the ranks full
and pushed around to the base of
operation 6 full divisions, while
only one division was able to come
across and oppose them.
On the sixth day. General Ward
arrived in command and with en-
couragement to his men, feinted to
the right and to the left, made a
direct frontal attack, screened with
a barrage fire, supported by heavy
artillery, soon caused the opposing
forces to retreat.
Larson was the observation scout
and behind his basket, signalled
General Ward the distance and the
angle that each shot should be
fired.

"HELLO" BOYS
TO BUY BONDS
1nstallment Plan Which Pro-
vides for Payments of
81 per Month

Arrangements have been made
whereby employees Of the North
western Telephone Exchange Com
pany may subscribe for Govern.
ment bonds of the Liberty Bonds
and pay for them on monthly in
stallmcnts. according to am an
nounccmcnt received by Manager
Geo. NJ. kloidy.
I'm addition to the S5,OO0,OOO of
the bonds which the Bell Telephone
System has taken, it is expected
that the employees of the various
companies of the system will sub
scribe for an equally large amount
under the plan of paying for the
bonds OH monthly installments.
The installment plan provides
for the payment of 81 each month
for ten months and S. per month
for two months on each $50 bond
for which the employee subscribes.
This will enable telephone employ
ces to pay for their bonds in one
year and collect six months inter-
est in June, 1918. This will give
them a return of approximately
3 l-2 per cent interest on each in
stallment paid.
In case an employee desires at
any time during the year to make
all remaining payments at once
and take up his bond, he will be
permitted to do so.
