A courtship that started a couple of
years ago while Mr.. Percy Excel was
mechanician at the Hirsch Bros. Gar
age in this city, ended Sunday in
Mitchell, when Mr.. Excel and Miss
Emma Stark were united in the holy

be SO soon, as the bride was teaching
school west of town. The Ledger

farm near Villas, S. D. The bride is
we'll known in Trip, where she counts
everybody her friend. She is a sister
of Mrs. Rev. Krieger and taught in
the city schools here. The groom.
while not SO we'll known is never-the-
less thot very highly of by his friends

would not make the mistake Of letting

THE
.BLUNDERS.
GER M AN Y
THE BLUNDER OF
"FRIGHTFULNESS"

HERE are some plumbers that
dogs and horses and even SEN
= sible wild animals, do not COM
nit. OF all the stupidities of the Ger
man people, the browning glory of
their laundering is their idea that
German savagery and "frightfulness"
could so appal their enemies that they
would be paralyzed by the shock of
atrocities. and purchase peace at any
price. 1t is difficult to believe that
such fantastic theories as these origin
ated anywhere outside of a madhouse.
No words at our command can SO well
describe this situation as do the words
Of a once-German, of New York and
of Kuhn, Loeb 4 Co.. Otto H. Kahn.
They were written on June %. 1915. to
a relative in Germany, and published
in. the N. Y. Times of July 4, 1917.
THE theory of 'frightfulness' in the
conduct of warfare which Germany
now breaches and practices is no new
discovery. On the contrary. 1t is a
very ancient one-so old, in fact, that
long ago 1t came to be discarded and
superseded in European warfare, and
passed into the limbo Of forgotten
things. There, until resurrected by
your countrymen, 1t lay for genera
tions. along with much else that the
human race had overcome and left be-
hind in the progress of culture and hui
manity-a progress achieved by siren
uous toll sacrifices and suffering in
the course of many centuries.
And what have you gained from
your frightfulness'? Your victories
have been due to quite other qualities.
By your frightfulness' you have
steeled your enemies to the utmost
limit of sacrifice: you have embittered
neutral opinion; you have disappoint-
ed and grieved your friends, and sown
dragons teeth, the offspring of which
will arise against you many years.
even after the conclusion of peace"
These are indeed words of wisdom
and truth. Even after the conclusion
Of peace, the opponents of 'frightful-
ness and the knights Of the Skull
cracker" will be accorded a hell of
their own.

SHALES AND SHORTSICHTEDNESS


TMECENTLY the federal government became deeply
interested in the patent of convict to extract oil
and other products from shaes that the president
induced to pardon him and the has lent
the backing of its active encouragement two and
half million dollar corporation to handle the patent and
extract oil.
Oil shales have been known to exist for many years.
The government has had repeated reports them 1t
has understood the possibilities of increased oil produc
ton by development of the deposits yet it has allowed the
Standard Oil company to do practically all the oilng"
while withdrawing the shae fields from entry and thus
preventing their development by private capital.
The war has created unprecedented demand for
petroleum and certain chemical products also taken from
these shaes The government itself now to the
Importance of developing these fields.
The result is that in Nevada and Utah especially there
is great activity in shales.
Capital has become heavily interested and the public
is buying stock in the knowledge that it cannot lose in
view of the known existence of the oil in the shae of the
known method of extraction of the known demand and Of
the assurance of fair price.
One reason Germany has made such progress in the
war is because it prepared not only prepared in
military and naval sense but commercially and indus
trallv and domestcaly It did not hinder development
of minerals by teng up the land through application of
false theory of conservation On the contrary it encour
aged capital to open up these deposits 1t good
thing for Germany in time of peace it much better
thing for Germany in time of war
