WE CAN BE CHEERFUL AND WE
WILL,

The declaration of war was a shock!
The first shock is past and sober sec
ond thoughts find us taking stock of
business and all production of the ma
ton. .
War is a serious thing, and yet,
there is considerable consolation in
conditions which confront us.
Last year there was spent in the
United States the sum of Seven Billion
Dollars. The normal expenditure in
former years was four billion.
1t is altogether probable that Sew
en- Billion will pass hands in business
again this year. And in addition, the
government is getting ready to spend
seven billion dolars-all at home.
Never in the history Of the world
has a nation known the prosperity
which confronts us today. True, it is
an abnormal prosperity; it is not the
form Of prosperity we sought or hoped
for. Nevertheless, it is condition
greatly to our advantage if we will
but make it so.
It lies with you and me to do so.
The two necessary factors are pro-
duction and normal living. 1ll-advised
economy and hysterical business re-
trenchment are neither necessary nor
advisable. Unnecessary waste is ex-

travagance now, just as it is in times
of peace. Normal living will eliminate
extravaganza.
The government urges increased
food production-not in fear of a
shortage for our people, but that we
may have surplus for other nations.
There should be no boarding of food or
money. There will be nothing gained
by such boarding. The profits will
come to those who pillow, plant and
cultivate more acres--those who &C
tually serve the nation by bringing
about a marked increase in the ma
TONS food supply.
The coming months will bring more
businessmen less.
Put away your fears. Prepare to
work, to help, to earn, to save money,
to spend money, to serve your coun-
try as best you can. Be optimistic.
Be hopeful. Be cheerful Tend your
business just as you have during the
past three years. Serve those about
you we'll and faithfully.
For every man who serves Uncle
Sam in the ranks and upon the sea-
three men must serve at home to make
and keep him efficient, effective, strong
and healthy. Those of us who remain
home have our work and duties clearly
defined and we have faith in the fullest
that this community will do it's part
AND DO 1T WELL.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

This would seem most opportune
time for our government to stop the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants.
permanently, if possible, but at least
for the duration of the war. Our lot
has been cast, we are to take our part
in this world struggle for a principle
which we believe to be right, and in
order to be assured of that success for
which we yearn and hope and pray we
must enter upon the undertaking with
heart and soul and with sincere pur-
pose to fortify ourselves by taking
every logical and possible precaution
that is within our power. One of the
great economic questions of this or
any other country is that of drink.
Imagine an army of people engaged
in the production of hundreds of mil

that the stopping of the liquor traffic
would Immediately release six hundred
million bushels now in the hands of
those interests) the preparation, dis
tribution and vending of alcoholic
drinks and on the other hand the army
OF consumers each spending their lives
for the production and purchase of a
commodity which not only has abso-
lutely no value in itself, but on the
contrary is acknowledged to be the
"thief who robs men, women and chill
dren," yes, INNOCENT CHILDREN,
whose only guilt is that they were
brot into this world, of the health,
happiness and bare necessities of life.
There are number Of men engaged
IN the liquor business who realize this
and, knowing that their business will
be doomed in any event within a few
short years, are willing to concede the
good sense in stopping it at this time
but there are also thousands of men
whose sole consideration is their own
small souls and lazy bodies. They are
evidently utterly devoid of conscience
and, if it becomes expedient to pre-
tend the possession of one, they have
most convenient way of reassuring
it that it is no worse for one to commit
murder or highway robbery than for
another. To this class it is probably
useless to appeal, but to the multitude
of men and women who really have
their country's welfare at heart, we

PURE MALICE

Adrian (Mich.) Telegraph: The
newspapers are so often misrepresent-
ed and abused in the debates of con-
gress that publishers have become
rather insensitive to such attacks.
Representative Fordney, however,
made statement the other day that
can hardly be passed over unanswered.
In advocating additional burdens for
the press, he said:
newspapers and magazines have
done more than any other influence to
bring on the war. Nothing would do
more to add to the income of news
papers than war, and they should
pay their share of its expense"
The above statement is false and
malicious. We use these very harsh
words advisedly. Its falsity is appar-
ent to anybody who knows anything
about the printing business, or who
will take the trouble to make even a
few inquiries. It's malice is self-evi-
dent.
The truth is that war is financial
calamity to the newspapers as class
Some big papers that were making
from half million to a million dol
lars year, net profit, have seen those
huge profits absolutely wiped out by
the high price Of paper. Many big
papers that used to be fairly prosper
Gus are now running at enormous loss.
A very large number are barely max
ing a living, and many of them, both
large and small, face certain ruin if
the war lasts even one year more. The
notion that a demand for "extras"
spells profits is pure ignorance. With
paper prices where they are, every
"extra" sold is net loss; the publish
ers print them only because they have
to. AS paper goes higher the situa-
ton will grow worse.
The accusation that the newspapers
tried to bring on war in order to in
crease their profits is an Infamous
charge. A man should hesitate to
make it, even if the evidence were
strong. But when there is no evidence
at all to support it-when, in fact, the
evidence is the other way-then the
assertion serves only to exhibit the
speakers state of mind.

HELPING PUT THE PRICE UP

Before you lay in an unusual supply
Of food consider these points:
You are assisting to put the price
up on yourself by creating an artificial
scarcity. A reckless rush to buy flour
by the barrel has jumped wheat and
flour prices within the last few weeks.
Yet balancing nearness to harvest
against decreased supplies we are not
appreciably worse off as regards those
staples than we were a month ago.
You are helping to put the price up
for people of small income, who cannot
afford to hoard food, yet for whom
every increase in price is a hardship
greater than any you know.
Lacking facilities for the storage of
food in large quantities you are going
to waste considerable quantities of
valuable material. Your eggs will
show percentage of spoils, some of
your potatoes will rot, and if the
weevils keep out of your flour YOU are
lucky. And when you are all thru
the chances are that you will be out of
pocket.
With heavy stock of food on hand
you are sure to use food more waste
fully. That is human nature. You are
going to overeat Of some things to
keep them from spelling, and draw on
others simply because they are right
at hand.
Leave your food in the stores and
warehouses until you want it. It is
treason now to overbuy on foodstuffs,
not because the country would suffer
for lack of what you lay up in cellar
and pantry, but because your example
is contagious. Others will follow your
example. AS one cowardly soldier may
start whole company Of brave men
in retreat, so one cowardly household
err may send a whole town on a hoard
ing rampage. Hold fast, housewives,
against the foolish fears and tempta-
tions Of the moment.

This may be trif1e early to place
your order for binder Irvine, but when
one studies the conditions, on second
thought, it will be well to place your
orders now for part of your supply
at least. Standard Irvine, the Indepen-
dent understands, can be bought in Mi
not this week for 10 cents pound.
This is higher than year ago, but it
must be expected. It is certainty
that Irvine will not go down and the
chances are that it will go up, deal
ers inform us. It is believed that if
we have even normal crop, there
may be shortage. Dealers declare
that if farmers want to be safe with
either Irvine or machinery, they should
buy early.

Mexico appears to be coming over

Mexico will not learn to love us for

come when she will see that this ma

who have examined a number of fields
state that there are indications that
some of the wheat has rotted. Warm

do not show up well, there's still plen-

Cars Too Light

Mr.. Bate believes that the average
car is too light. The Light Six trend
went too far.
So he has worked three years on
Mitchells to double the margins of
safety. The old standard was so per
cent over-strength - the new is 100
per cent.
Over 40 parts are built of tough
ened steel. All safety parts are
vastly oversize. All parts which get
a major strain are built of Chrome
Vanadium. Gears are tested for
$4,000 pounds per tooth. The CAN'T
lever springs are so built that not
one has broken in two years.
The result, we believe, is a life
time car. Several Mitchells have
already run over 200, 900 miles apiece.
But such standards mean much added
cost in these days of high steel.

Many city fellows are going to learn
a good deal about gardening this year.
Hundreds Of enthusiastic gardeners in
Minot, and for that matter every other
city in the United States, are now
drilling with shovels and rakes, but
before the summer has ended, some of
this enthusiasm is apt to die out. With
the present price of vegetables and
other food stuffs, one can figure that
he's making pretty fair wages by do
ing some extra work in the garden,
besides he has the satisfaction of
knowing that he is "doing his bit" at
