The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1917-11-01

The production of more fats is today a critical necessity for the
preservation of these people and the maintenance of their constan-
cy in the wal. Every pound of fat is as sure of service as every
than a shell.
My vision o fwar is not of an academic problem to be solved by
discussion and guarantees of profits; to me it is a vision of brave,
dying men and suffering women and children for service on whose
behalf the greater exertion of the American farmer comes as a di-
rect necessity and a direct plea. The American farmer who sees
war as I see it needs no inducement and no inspiration but the
thought that every spade full of earth turned and every animal
reared is lessening human suffering and guaranteeing the liberty
of the ~world-Herbert C. Hoover.

The innocent Halloween pranks of
a party of Marvel, N. D., boys were
brought to a tragic end about 8 o.
clock last night, when James Colosky,
the 13-year-old son of Charles Colos-
ky, a merchant of that city, was acct
dentally killed by his aged grandfather
Joseph Colosky. The lad lived about
two hours after he was shot.

Apropos of Townley's newest enterprise for a chain Of stores,
the Shafer Record has the following comment: "A. c. Townley
will wake up some of these mornings with a feeling that John D.
Rockefeller is practically broke and that J. Rufus Walingford is a
mere piker. And we predict that the whole nation will wake up
some morning and find that he has solved the submarine problem.
Townley is getting the funds for launching a chain Of stores in
North Dakota which will put the large mail order houses out OF
business. According to our information it will be an easy matter
for him to acquire title to these stores purchased with other peo-
pies money. And that isn't all about it either. While he is &C
quiring title to them it appears that he will get ten per cent on the
goods sold. Mr.. Towney may be an exception to the average man,
and deed these stores back to the men who subscribed the funds
back the Non-partsan Leader and other property, We will support
him unreservedly."
It is about time that our railroad commissioners took up the
matter of freight rates and see to it that the railroads of the state
made a more just and equitable rate for hauling grain, and other
commodities. For instance; the rate on a car load of grain from
Clyde, which is in Cavalier county, to Devils Lake, a distance of
"a miles is 94 per hundred, while from Devils Lake to Minneapolis,
a distance of 404 miles the rate is Is cts per hundred. In other
words it costs practically three and one-half times as much per
mile to get a car of grain from Clyde, as it does to get it to Mime
apois. This is a rank injustice, and especially at this time when
the farmers Of this section of the state must ship in a large
This is a rank injustice, and it seems as though there should be
some method to force the railroads to be fair in short hauls.
When you talk about kept Press" and "Big Biz" what about
the Non-partsan Leader? There is not another such a lying, un-
fair, one-sided and malicious sheet published in the whole North
west as that sheet. 1t does not treat the truth even fairly, and it
seems to have only one mission, and that is to array the farmers
against the business men of the State; and keep up a TRADE of
abuse against everything and anything that does not favor Town
ley and his doctrines. That word, "Big Biz" is not original with
the Leader, or Townley, but was stolen from Appeal to Reason,

AMSTERDAM. Sept. 21.-The
German government in its reply
TO the peace note Of Pope Bene-
dict. copy OF which has been re-
celred here, Cherished lively
desire" that the appeal may meet
with success.
Emperor William, the German
note says has been following the
efforts Of the Pope toward peace
for d considerable time with high
respect.
The text OF the reply reads:
Herr Cardinal: tour rminence
has been good enough. together
with your letter Of August .. to
transmit TO the Kaiser and King.
my most gracious master the note
of his holiness. the pope. In which
his holiness filled with grief nj the

for considerable time with high
respect and sincere gratitude his

impar,inlity. to alleviate as far "a
possible tho sufferings Of the war
and to hasten the end Of hostilities.

his holiness fresh proof Of his noble
and human feelings. and cherishes

The reply adds that the effort
of the pope to pave the way to an
understanding might most surely
be reckoned to have sympathetic
reception from and the whole
hearted support Of the German en-
peror, since he has regarded II
as his principal and most sacred
task to preserve the blessings OF
peace for the German people and
the world.
