An increase in extension work is be-
ing planned for North Dakota wom-
en-. Director Thomas P. Cooper an
nOunces that the agricultural extern
sion department of the Agricultural
college in cooperation with the feder-
al government have completed prelim-
mary plans for beginning an extensive
home economics campaign. AS basis
for the work the state will be divided
into districts. In each of these will
be placed permanently woman, train
ed in home economics extension work.
She will conduct series of meetings
and demonstrations, as we'll as meet
classes and study clubs that may be
formed. Food saving and substitution
will be studied and demonstrations
made of new food products and of food
products suggested by the federal
food department. AS preliminary to
placing these women, who may be
considered as .itinerant home econo-
mics teachers, in the field, May C. Nc
Donald, in charge of home economics
extension work will hold a series of
conferences with representative won.
EN- in different parts of the state. The
general plan Of the proposed work

for effective cooperation Dates for
meetings have been set as follows:

other districts will follow as rapidly

War Industries Board
viii Set Metal Price

Washington, Aug. 30.-Production
cost estimates on which the govern
ment will base the price it will pay for
it's steel requirements were gone into
at conference today between Ber-
nard M. Baruch of the war Industries
board and w. B. Colver of the federal
trade commission. The two officials
also discussed copper costs with John
D. Ryan of the Amalgamated Copper
company
The war industries board, which will
negotiate all government purchases,
will set steel and copper costs soon.
TodayMr. Baruch gave out information
as to methods to be used by the trade
commission in determining costs.
The main problem the war board
faced in fixing steel prices is whether
to set fiat price for all mills or to
arrange a scale based on production
costs in each mill. If the first plan is
followed it may call for readjust.
ment of the purchasing arrangements
of mills which do not produce their
own raw material.

! A PATRIOTIC COMPARISON

I'd rather be woolly worm than a
German submarine
A woolly worm contemplate, despic-
able and mean; 81
For woolly worms are not ashamed to
stay in sight and crawl,
But submarines must sneak along or
they'll not go at all.
I'd rather be woolly worm than be
German spy
Just be a fuzzy woolly worm, curl In
a ring and die;
For woOlly worms are wOOlly worms
the same all through and through:
A syp may seem "slick one" but he
is woolly too.
I'd rather be a woolly worm and rank
with bug and snake,
The measliest little ,woolly worm than
be a hyphenate;
For hypenates, to hear them talk,
would turn the land to smoke,
While Woolly worms, cen woody
worms, they never even croak.
But I'm glad I'm not woody worm,
I'm glad I'm what am;
For am an American who can fight
II for Uncle Sam Il
Can help to squelch the submarine.
the spy, the hyphenate
For these, as an American, l cannot
tolerate.

Wilson's Prompt Reply to
Pope Is Surprise to Many

Washington, Aug. 29.-Discussion of
President Wilson'S rejection OF the
pope's peace proposals in diplomatic
circles today revealed that even some
of the entente governments were I'M
prepared for the prompt fashion in
which the president disposed of mat
ter OF such tremendous importance. ;.
There had been no doubt at any time
as TO the general nature of the reply,
and the understanding is that the Unit
ed States was generally looked upon
as the nation 70 speak first, but some
OF the allied foreign offices, accustom-
ed to long dellberated moves in diplc,
macy, regarded the exchanges that
had been going on between Washing
ton and their own capitals as barely
completed. They had rather expected
further discussion of the time for dis
patching replies.
Had Good Reasons
1t was realized, however, by the en-,
tente representatives in Washington
that President Wilson must have had
some good and sufficient reason for
acting so quickly. A diplomatic critic
ascrlDes the motive to a desire to i'm
press favorably the great Russian con.
vention at Moscow while that, body is
still In plastic and receptive state.
1t also was suggested that the presi.
dent might have wished to anticipate
by his remarkable state paper obstruc.
tive action by the pacifist elements.
Comments from the press of Europe.
including Germany and Austria, is
awaited with interest. Bitter attacks
upon the American note by the Ger
man press and possibly condemnatory
speeches by German officials are fully
expected when the presidents reply is
nnally allowed to leak through the
censors to the German public. But
Tor the present, at least, no further at.
tempts at peace negotiations on the
old basis, involving continuance in
power of the present autocratic Ger.
man regime, is anticipated.

where is THE AMERICAN FLAG?
Ask, and the worldwide winds will
answer,
AS they blow from the land and the
sea;
The flag of America is waving 4
In the highlands of liberty.
Wherever the human races
Are cozened, coerced and oppressed
You'll find the American ensign
Beloved and honored and blessed.
It has never been waved for conquest,
Nor Haunted DER deeds of shame y
Nor waved DER the fell marauder,
AS he ravaged with sword and
flame.
1t has parted the gates OF commerce
To the Hindu's fertile shores
1t has carried it's blessings to China,
And opened her long closed doors.
The Armenian looks to it in trouble,
Ang again with his dying breath,
The Cuban, with it's folds around him,
Has hallowed its memory in death
Loved as the emblem of freedom,
Where Spanish subjects were slain
It encouraged the Filipinos
To struggle for freedom again.
Where is the American ensign?
Seek where the oppressed are found
Struggling to gain their freedom
From burdens that. weigh to the
ground. s5
Go search where the homes are happy
And the lands are free from strife;
Where the voices are ever of freedom
And the cities are teeming with life.
Where is the American ensign!
/ 1t is waving on very sea; 4:
Its message is peace and blessings
And its motto is Liberty.
Go, search where the Christian re.

SONS of May, II
And dark was the sycamore's shade to
behold, s5a N:
And the oaks tender leaf was Of en-

Their chorus of rapture sang jovial
and loud;
From the soft vernal sky to the soft

There was beauty above me, beneath,

The mild southern breeze brought a
shower from the hill;
And yet, tho it left me dripping and
chill,

To gaze where the rainbow cleaned
broad overhead.
