Otters' FavorIte Game.

The favorite game of Otters seems to be that of sliding down hill. They climb to the top of high snow ridge, lie fiat upon the stomach, with the forefeet bent backward, and giving themselves an impulse with the hind legs, glide down the hill head foremost. In summer they select a sloping river bank which has clayey soil, and where the water at its base Is of con- siderable depth. Climbing this bank, they start from the top, slip swiftly over the sloping ground, and plunge into the water.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

THERE is no smarter frock
 to be made for the tiny
 4 child than this simple one hand-sewed and hand-embroid- cred. You can make the ma terial a handkerchief lawn or you can make it a fine cotton crepe or a fine French voile or a batiste, as you like. It is the finish of embroidery and the hand sewing that will give the distinction, and, as a matter of course, hand work always will be put upon good material. The pretty little kimono sleeves give graceful lines while they mean the absolute simplicity that is always so charming and child-like. There are only two seams to be sewed up in the frock. You can use the embroid- cry design illustrated or you can finish the lower edge with hem.
 For the 2 year size will be needed, 15s yards of material 36 or A inches wide.
 The pattern No. o3l3 is cut in sizes for children of I, and 4 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion De- partment of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

Cats seem to have habit of swal- lowing needles. When cat is brought to veterinary hospital suffering with a cough, the doctor always looks for a needle. In one instance Doctor ChildS of New York operated on a cat to re- move what he thought was an Ordi- nary needle. He found q hatpin nine inches long. But the cats life was saved.

the war our sympathies were natural
ly with Germany and we were glad to
do anything we could, not to further
the war, but to help the wounded and
the widows and children. But now
that America is in the war Germany is
our enemy. Though many of us have
relatives in Germany and in the Ger
man army, more of US perhaps have
sons and nephews in the American ar
my. How could our sympathies be
against them"
A Germantown sailor on an Ameri-
can ship sighted one of the first sub
marines destroyed by American gun
ners. Though one son of Madame
Schumann-H eink, the singer is in the
German navy, three others are in the
American army. And thus it goes.
German names are found throughout
the roster of service, and the men who
bear them are not falling down on
their duty.
Let us give credit where credit is
due. If the kaiser ever thought the
German blooded people of the United
States would start revolution in case
of war, it is evidence that he did not
realize the Americanizing influence of
our institutions upon his former sub
jects here and their descendants. Of
that influence and it's results we all
are proud.

LOYAL GERMAN AMERICANS

No one of intelligence any longer
questions the loyalty of our German
American population, 'hyphenized" for
the sake Of convenience but American
lied in every sense of the word. Be-
fore the war their sympathies natural
ly ran to Germany; since the outbreak
Of the war they have left no stone I'M
turned to prove their fealty to Uncle
Sam. In ritling its treasury to give
the last cent in it to the American Red
Cross, the president of so-called
"German-American Alliance" remark
ed pointedly:
eve are not German-Americans, we
are just plain Americans. Why
shouldn't we be? We came to this
country of our own free will, either
because we felt we could do better or
escape military service. We became
citizens Of the United States, and we
have married and built our homes here
Our children have been educated in
American schools, and here we have
found the opportunity for advance
ment which was denied us in our own
country.

UNDERPAID COUNTRY
PREACHERS

Country preachers as rule are dis
tressingly underpaid. A gentleman
from the country, however, objects to
them cheapening their jobs by work
ing for farmers in the fields and doing
other work-such as puttering around
in large garden tract-instead of ex-
ercising their brains in study.
There is scarcely doubt that the
country minister must take his job
seriously enough to work at it con-
stantly. Only in this way will he
ever force his Pensioners to take him
seriously enough to pay him more sal
airy. The country field is as important
to the church as the city field, and can
be made wonderfully attractive with
the proper effort.

The Twin City liquor houses sent
out farewell letters to their old time
North Dakota customers just before
the bone dry law went into effect for
it is now unlawful to even send liquor
advertising matter into this state. The
customers were told how much the
liquor dealers loved them and how
sorry they'd be not to get any more
fat envelopes from this state. The
liquor dealers however offer to kindly
buy groceries, shoes and other mer-
chandise for North Dakotans making
the selections from the Twin City bust
ness houses. The money that has
been spent for booze in North Dakota
will buy a good deal of merchandise,
too.

tour in America and was arrested for
travelling with woman who wasn't
his wife. Gorky, now the editor of a
Russian paper, attacks everything on
this side of the ocean and possibly is
hindering the American mission in
Russia like lump of refuse on rail-
road track hinders train. Gorky's

During his Fourth of July grafton,
a speaker at Fargo declared that Far
go is destined to become a city of
100000 within a few years. We hope
the speaker is right. Fargo is good
wide awake city in many ways and is
growing. If Fargo ever becomes a
city of 100000 there is no reason why
Minot should not be fully as large.
In fact, we have more reasons than
Fargo why this should become the
states metropolis in time.

MORE BOND SALES

bonds is near. The first issue of farm
loan bonds, offered the beginning of
July, will be from 0,00O,O00to $780,
100000 and will bear interest at IL
per cent. The twelve federal land
banks, through the farm loan board,
in concluding an agreement with in
vestment bankers to take up half the
issue in six months, will relieve the
general public of the opportunity to
get in on the whole of this super-ex-
cellent government investment.

Gentlemen:
Allow me to congratulate you upon
the very excellent work you are doing
on the highway between Burlington
and to a point north of Lonetree. I
have inspected this road twice Of late
and find that real effort to build a
permanent road is being made, and l
feel that you should know that the
Wonderland Trail Association officials
appreciate your efforts.

nized by the State Highway Commits
sion as one Of the roads to receive
state and federal aid, any work that
you do on it makes it all the more
sure that we will receive this neces-
sary aid.
Again thanking you, I am,

Of making money and many man
who is trying to earn few dollars
in a questionable way, could make
more money and in an easier way too,
in lawful way. To illustrate. A

Mondak, Mont, on a freight train, Sc
cured twenty pints of whiskey and
beat his way back on top of a flat car,
only to lose his "booze" and get in the
tolls in the bargain. 1t required half
a week to make the trip and during
that time at most any kind Of work

BASEBALL AND WAR

When a big league baseball player
reaches the age of 81 he is near the
decline of his powers-usually it's
"back to the minors. Some of the
best big leaguers in the business are
10 or Whereabouts.
Yet the military age for the nation
al army is up to 81, indicating on the
surface that it doesn't require as much
physical ability to be soldier as it
does to be baseball player, when as
a matter of fact many baseball play
ers couldn't pass the physical examina-
ton for the army.

on the ships of the American expedi

America to believe that the German
government had been informed of the

as only spies deserve.
