PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

III lldtCulcSS uICtlOl oAu "A'A 49,
4 unanswerable logic, President Wilson
voices the hopes and aspirations OF
the United States in the prosecution
of this war. There is no rancor evil
dent. The time for wrath has passed
But the hour is here for calm, vigor.
GUS participation in the war to that
end that every nation may be allowed
to work out its own peaceful and
righteous destiny. ..
A declaration of war against Aus.
tria is inevitable. To war only upon
Germany would be an intolerable
anomaly. The time will soon come,
doubtless, when all nations aligned
against the Entente will be at war Off
cially with the United States as they
are now in reality.
President Wilson reads the signs
Alright when he declares that the paci-
fists do not speak for the nation.
They merely voice their own copper
head opinions and menace the early
peace which they so continuously
clamor for.
They may safely be left to strut
their uneasy hour and be forgotten"
is the Lincolnesgue manner in which
Wilson disposes of that wilful few
who assist German arms in our halls
of congress.
There can be no lasting peace with
Prussian leadership, and President
Wilson so states emphatically in his
war message. 1t is reiteration of a
point strongly put In his recent an.
swer to Pope Benedict's offer of peace
mediation. The masters of Germany
must be crushed and the menace OF
combined intrigue and force re-
moved before civilized nations can
talk peace with the people of the
central powers.
The American people do not desire
that Germany as a nation be Obliter-
ated. Wilson we'll says, They insist
that the war shall not end in vindic-
tive action of any kind
No peoples are to be robbed or pun
ished because they happen to be the
victims of irresponsible leaders.
But President Wilson does not dilate
unduely upon the basis of peace. He
prefers rather to emphasize the fact
that "our present and immediate task
is to win the war"
After stating clearly that there can
be no peace until complete restitution
has been made by Germany for out
RACES practiccd upon Belgium and 9th:
or nations, President Wilson devotes
some consideration to economic issues
incident to the war. This is especial
ly of interest to the farmers of North
Dakota and shows that their problems
are not being overlooked:
"The farmers, for example, COM
plain with great deal of justice that
while the regulation of food prices
restricts their income, no restraints
are placed upon the prices of most of
the things they must themselves pur-
chase; and similar inequalities obtain
on all Sides"
War profiteering should become
practically impossible II, congress

Resolutions favCriug the establish
ment of an agricultural college on the
Slope, preferably taking advantage of
the excellent plant which the federal
government has in the Great Plains
experimental station at Mandan; reso-
lutions favoring the selection OF Bis
marck as permanent convention city,
and the changing Of the convention
date from June to January or Febru-
airy. and the consideration of Presi-
dent Wilson's message, which has
made favorable impression on dele
gates here from all parts of the state
will be the important matters which
will occupy the attention OF the North
Dakota state grange today.
Sessions were continued Tuesday
until nearly II O'Clock, and general
consideration was given many mat
ters.. The grange has no set program,
and will deal with problems as they
come up. Resolutions were adopted
yesterday heartily endorsing the presi-
dency of DR.. E. F. Ladd at the agri-
cultural college and approving OF his
work in general. The Grange has no
criticism to offer of the state agricul-
tural college. but 1t feels that climatic
and soil conditions in the Slope differ
so radically from those in the Red
River valley that the one institution
cannot satisfactorily serve both sec
tons. @S

sons recommendation that immediate
war be declared on Austria-Hungary
did not cause even a ripple today in
the markets here. His references,
however, to proposed new price fixing
led to some selling of corn in the last
half hour of the day. Corn closed un-
settled at the same as yesterdays fin
ish to quarter cent higher, with Jan.
12O% and May 1875. Oats gained &
cent to 11sc net. Provisions underwent
a setback of us to 69c.
At first the corn market showed
decided upward bent, the result large
ly of non-fulfillment of predictions of
larger receipts. An advance of oats
to the highest prices yet this season
counted also as notable stimulus.
Midday bulletins telling OF the presi-
dents attitude were eagerly read, but
that his views would be OF q vigorous
militant character seemed to have
been taken as foregone conclusion.
Accordingly, the only change in the
market came late after news was re-
ceived that he favored broadening
out of federal regulation of prices.
Oats bulged sharply owing to pro-
nounced scarcity of offerings and be-
cause of exporters having taken 1,0OO,-
900 bushels in the last two days.
Announcement Of trade restrictions

Lime Excess Wasteful.

Field experiments recently completed
at tho Pennsylvania station indicate
that large excess OF lime or limestone
is wasteful and that only slight ex-
cess over that necessary to ''sweeten"
the soil or neutralize acidity should be
applied. For the average acid soil
with Pennsylvania conditions one ton
OF burned lime or twice that amount of
ground limestone per acre is sufficient
for an Initial application.
