city Of 125,000, Fargo-Moorhead, cit
les combined of $4,000, n Warren,
q village Of hardly 1000 population,
to work up keen competition. and
fight for the epnnant. Fargo-Moor-
head is now facing a rather peculiar
situation that is causing the aseba
"mags" no little worry. Ever since
last season, it has appeared certain
a berth in the league n a franchise
was readily taken this spring.
Good Time to Quit.
When everything appeared to be
running smoothly, as far as that one
club,is concerned, h executive COM
mittee Of the Commercial club he's
taken up the movement to abandon
organized ball because of the war sit
uation. Indignation was paramount
when the idea was suggested, but 1t
is probable hat the fans and men
will not lake more kindly to the pro-
osition Of dropping out while the war
excuse may be used as a reason for
killing the three club circuit.
Warren, 1t is believed. could not
stay up under the strain Of support
ing an organized club, although that
clay. has loyalty supported n OF the
best independent a~ggregations in the
northwest during the past few years.
Winnipeg of course, would make mon
ey on a club. and it Is from this source
that the biggest amount OF support
and encouragement to remain in the
circuit is forthcoming.
No Schedule Ready.
Although it is nearly time for the
opening Of the season. no schedule
has been arranged or preparations
made to put through the circuit. War
rem has yet to select a manager and
players.
Indications are that the Northern
league, which has had somewhat Of a
shaky existence during the past few
years, will now.drop into oblivion for
at least a few years. Loose manage
ment and questionable dealings have
placed the circuit in a bad light and
1t will be some time before the fans
forget the financial trimming they
were given a few years ago.

 You speak of the north and south. When one harms America 1t means just as much to Arkan sas as it does to Kansas, Cal,. or Mass, whenAmericans are killed, they are Americans regardless of what state they came from. When ships are sunk it affects McCrory vitally. Where do you think cotton goes to? It must go somewhere after it leaves the gin, it goes to England. N. E. and across the Sea. If Germany could blockade England, your cotton would sell for 4c pound, and people in McCrory would starve instead of getting twenty cents. You must consider how all of the countries are dependent on the others. What affects one concerns all, but war is not fought for moneys sake, because rights are things inherent, and can't be bought with money.
 Russia is going to be a free country, not twelve tyrants in- stead of one. The people are ig- norant and incapable of govern ing themselves but they will be- come more able when given liber- ty which they are going to get.

McCRORY BOY WRITES
 CONCERNING THE WAR
M Ioe Arnof Who Is In Cambrige, Mass Attendine Harvard University Will Give His Services
 for His Country In World War

Canbrige, Mass, April 4, TT. MT. H. Arnof,
 McCrory, Ark,
 MyDear Father:
 am not sure whether 1 will work or not this summer as the war situation has arisen, and l will probably join in the summer or certainly next fall.
 You would not believe me when I wrote you two months ago that war was inevitable, you see there is a big world outside of the few wise ones who stand around the McCrory post-ofice, and one must recognize an international situation when it arises.
 I think America will take an actite part in the war Wl.ich will probably last two years unless they have a revolution in Germa- ny sooner, which is hardly prob able.
 Don't worry about me doing anything rash, because my life is precious to me, but my country is more so. War Is hell, but cowardice and principal are to be considered.
 You must realize that the rights and liberties we now en- joy have corresponding duties. People before us died to protect those principals we believe in, and we must protect them. You ran away from Russia to a free country, and was recieved openly and given a chance to live. If It were not for the principals of democracy 1 would be in Siberia or the army instead of Harvard now. England and France were the first countries to give Jews equality, and they are now fight Ing for the principals of democra- cy against Germany, who has not only done dozens of acts suf- ncient for us to declare war on

mer, and if the war is going to be long drawn out affair, then. I will certainly enlist next Sep- tember, for the schools wont run next year if there is any prolong- ed war.
 Don't worry about me, I will keep cool and do what is best for me, for you, and for others.
 Love to you, and mother

not conceivable that in a time like this men would be so callouS and visionless. Men of vision and hu- manity will get behind this bill and not in front of it. But if any such effort should be made, who is willing to listen to the selfish cry of organ ized insurance companies that ther interests may suffer if the govern ment dares to be humane and just to it's heroes? Can we for one instant permit any selfish interest, however
 nized and wherever existent. to stand in the way of humanity and justice? Shall we subordinate the interests of the nation, shall we i'm peril the cause of liberty in the world by failing to do justice to our fight ing men and their dependents, in or der that the selfish interests of any private corporations or organizations | may be conserved? I can not be- lieve that any organized effort will be made, we should welcome the op l portunity to arouse the conscience and soul of America against any such selfish purpose or demand.
 It has been intimated, also. that ! those who are welded to the pension system might oppose this measure. do not believe that This insurance 1 bill does not effect existing pension laws, although it is intended to be {, l substitute for and to make unneces- sary future pension laws to cover this war Nor does it interfere with | or in any manner change or modify lant men who fought in our previous wars. They are not disturbed. I be- lieve that every old soldier who fought in any American war for his countrys rights and liberties will support this measure, because nobody knows better than these old soldiers how derelict our government and every government has been in the past in doing justice to it's fighting men and their dependents. They above all others should want justic, done to those who suffer most fol the services they render to thei country.
 America is holding aloft the torcl of liberty in the world. Can she holt it aloft with honor if her soul is deaC to the sufferings of her own children
 Can she refuse to do justice to hel own dead and dying and suffering while she claims to be rendering service of justice to the rest of man kind?
 Let us not hesitate to go forwart in this fight for Americas rights for liberty and justice with all tn might and power and courage of tn, nation; let us, at the same time make our efforts ten thousand time more effective by setting an exampl, to the world of what a mighty, just humane and courageous nation cal do for it's own people who are callet upon to make supreme sacrifices il order that the world shall be free.

By an electric eye says Popular Science Monthly. The eye is placed near the top of the smokestacK ana 1t records the exact density on electric meters conveniently located in >he boiler room.
 This remarkably clever eye is simply wire coil of selenium which is car ried in housing on the inside of the smokestack walls. An electric light, in another housing directly opposite plays
 its beams of light squarely upon the wire. Now selenium, as is well known has the peculiar property of changing it's resistance to an electric current when the light falling upon it changes. The weaker the light, the greater the resistance, and vice versa
 Evidently, then, the denser the smoke emitted through the stack, the weaker the light that gets through the smoke from the electric lamp and falls upon the selenium. By connect r ing the selenium with an electric
 meter and the ships lighting mains the electric current going through the meter VIII De loWereu uy tne iHciedSeu ] resistance. The meter is very sensi- | tive and shows the slightest change 1 in smoke density Moreover, 1t is | calibrated to indicate exactly what the actual smoke density is, so that the stokers can regulate the cutoff of the l draft to a nicety.

The selection of the all-weather tread of big diamonds shaped blocks on Goodyear tires had behind it more than a desire for an attractive appearance and distinctive design. Scientific req sons largely dictated it's choice. Skid ding usually occurs at an angle of about 45 degrees to the direction of the car so the slip-resisting block edges of the non-skid tread were placed at an angle of 45 degrees, which resulted ir the diamond shape.
