editor did not take his advice about pub
licly telling their neighbors of their short

knows his share Of the waste basket, but
if he could look at the contributions to
that receptacle he would be thankful for
the existence of man with intelligence
and courage enough not to print all he
knows and to temper that which he does

subject of winter wheat as crop for this
TERRITORY. He had grown this crop in a
small way, and he advised others to try
lit. as he thought it might prove valu-
able addition to our list of crops. But he
believed that this work, like ali others,
should be undertaken with caution and
prudence. He told of one farmer OF his
acquaintance who, as starter, intended

no way to 90 at it." said Mr.. Hill. He
can't afford to experiment with quarter
section of winter wheat. He may do Well
with it. but he knows nothing about it,
and if it doesn't do well it will cripple him.
The thing for him to do is to try couple
of acres If that does well, let him try
ten or twenty acres. He can feel his way
along and learn as he goes along, without
taking risks that he cannot afford to take.

Most people will appreciate the wisdom

risk. The prudent man will not make the
risk too large. He will feel his way eau
tiously.
This policy, admittedly wise in the hand

when public work is undertaken. The So
cialist group who have undertaken to make
North Dakota an experiment station, pro-
pose that the people of North Dakota
shall plunge headlong And there is no
special reason why these men should take
any other course. They have nothing to
risk The leaders in this movement, those
who make the plans and formulate the
policies, have nothing to risk. Most Of
them are non-residents Of the state. II
their experiments result in failure, and in
order to preserve the states credit, the
actual residents and taxpayers are con.-
PEELED to load themselves up with taxation

WAR.

~ ERMANY sent word that it wasn't
going to admit that state Of war
existed with the United States (;
that we could do anything we pleased,
however warlike, and still Germany would
persist in thrusting its friendship upon us.
Very fine! But fortunately we were not
deluded by it. So we were not surprised
yesterday when German submarine fired
a torpedo at an American destroyer. For
tunately the aim was bad; unfortunately
the U-bot disappeared in the deep and got
away.
War is on. The sooner every Ameri-
can realizes it, and realizes that it is the
real thing and fight, to the finish, the
better.
Voting seven billions for war without
a dissenting vote in either house is splen-
did message to the world, testifying our
earnestness and sincerity. But it is only
a start, only beginning of the sacrifices
we must make to win this war for free
dom, democracy and peace--Duluth Her.

RECESSIONAL.
lBy Rudyard Kipling)

(By Rudyard Kiplng)
Cod of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far-hung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the fire:
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre.
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not thee IN awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boasts and foolish word,
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord. Amen

THE WAR FIEND AT HAND.

y
our public schools and Sunday
schools to abhor war, to avoid it
and to fear it, to believe that civilization
had advanced to such a perfected stage
that no more wars would ever be neces-
sary the American people are put up
against one of the most severe tests OF
loyalty and patriotism.
That war is now upon us nobody doubts.
Within another sixty or ninety days we
will likely be forced to repulse invaslons,
instructions on land and our navy will
be called upon to defend us on the seas.
The extraordinary session of congress IS
looked upon as equivalent to declaration
of war and the only speculation now IS
what degree of war it shall be. Germany
is not given to making war in haphaz-
ard or half-hearted way and when we
thrown down the gauntlet to her minions
we must expect to be prepared to fight to
the finish.
Americans may as we'll face situation
which is now 30 plain as to be unmlstak-
able. Germany has challenged us by the
destruction of our ships and lives and
with the certainty that it was forthcom-
ing the challenge was accepted. Nothing
but cowardice can now bind us to the IN
evitable, and this brings each one of us
to showdown Of sentiment. We must
now either be loyal Americans and ready
to back up the government with our lives
and suffering or we must hang back and
be slackers, with the final result that we
will all meet with an ignominious defeat
at the hands Of an united enemy country.
Are we going to meet that?
No country on earth can come to this
country and eventually defeat the United
States. Our preparedness at present IS
totally inadequate, but we shall see that
with the most astonishing rapidity equip
ment will be turned out by the hundreds
of factories, and of the most deadly type,
and so long as we are an united nation we
need have no actual fear of final over
throw and the real danger lies within our
gates.
Maybe some of our private opinions, or
our blood connections, in one or more gen.
erations back and the abuse we may have
at times suffered from some individuals
of the opposite nationality, have Disguised
US, and we may feel that our sympathies
are with the country that is now locked IN
a death struggle and viciously swapping at
us in it's mad efforts to wriggle loose. But
we must lay aside personal prejudice for
the national honor, the national life, the
safety of our wives and children.
While the United States was at peace
and neutral it was not reasonable to
express our views against the policy of
either side of the warriors, but now that
we are put on the defensive, and may have
to fight to the end-let us each join hands
and be big family of fighters, shoulder
to shoulder, sharing collectively the glor-
les of victory or the horrors and suffer
ing of defeat.
By all means let us back up our govern
ment, and have complete faith in it's judg-
ment, and confidence in it's Intentions
