sendoff the boys will remember.
Under the rules adopted by the war
department, which, for some un-
known reason prohibit any parade
of troops before departure, there is
no chance for a farewell before they
sail. They are hurried aboard ships
without any but the officers knowing
their destination until after they
sail. Efforts to have every regiment
paraded before they leave, even If all
details of the departure are with
held, have been unavailing. Any
farewells, therefore, must be said be-
fore the boys leave Fargo. The
exact date of the departure is not
yet known, but II should be before
Aug. 1.
II the new Smashing Second"
makes any such record in fighting
as it has in recruiting. the First will
have to look to its proud record. The
total enlistments have already
reached close to the 1000 mark, and
may pass that figure by tonight.
The purpose of a farewell demon
stration for the boys would be two
fold. 1t would send them away
knowing that their fellow townsmen
hold them in high regard, and it
would boom recruiting and help the
Fargo company fill its ranks. The
boys will not be mustered into fed
eral service until Aug. 5. and mean
while both regiments will be trying
to fill their companies to full war
strength. .. -.
BY all means let us have a chance
to show the boys what we think Of

WHAT RAIDERS CAN DO.

Two news items in last evenings
Forum had a remarkable interrela-
ton in showing what a factor in
winning the war the airplane might
be.
An interview with Orville Wright,
the father of the airplane was pub
lished. 1t told of the possibilities OF
winning the war by raids on sub
marine bases, the Kiel canal, and the
great munitions works like those at
Essen.
On the front page was a brief
item, giving Dutch workmen credit
for the statement that one quarter
Of the great Krupp factory had been
destroyed by French machines.
New York papers carry special
dispatches from Paris stating that
as many as eighty-four machines
made reprisal raids on German
towns last Friday. in revenge for
raids on French towns. One or two
of these machines, it appears. got as
far as Essen.
1t seems unbelievable that one or
two planes could do such extensive
damage to the munitions works, but
even allowing that the statements OF
the Dutch workmen were greatly
exaggerated, what would 1000 planes
do by sweeping over the plants and
dropping hundreds Of tons OF ex-
plosives?
One or two such trips should raze
the entire plant, and make it use
less for months. Five thousand or
ten thousand machines. If we could
supply them at once, might win the
war before another American soldier
got to Europe.

1t was New Years eve and Il thin
old man with a wizened face was sit
ting by the fireplace. At first sight
you would have said that he was
rather n disagreeable old chap, but
on closer inspection you found out
that he had very bright eyes and
quite a humorous smile round his
mouth.
1t was surprising that Old Year
was feeling rather sad. 1t was his
last night on the dear old Earth. The
next morning, long before it was day
Hllght, he must fly away in Il big snow

rosy and splendid, would take mis-
place.

Old Year patted them kindly with

very quickly, and in some magic way

The first day of January, 1910, was
made memorable in East IIaddnm,
Conn, by Il happening that was In Its
way wholly extraordinary. There
were In the town nine unmarried
young women, and 1t had been de-
cided that husbands must be found for
them. Accordingly, in the spirit Of an
enlightened public enterprise. nine
men agreed to marry them, md on the
aforementioned date all OF them be-
came wives, an elaborate
and much rejoicing signalizing tho
event.
On New Years day, 1914, London
experienced n most remarkable fog.
The city was immersed in n sen Of sus-
pended moisture that extended for a
distance Of 20 miles beyond it's out
skirts. Business was at Il stnndstill
and many people lost their lives by
falling into the Thames river and into
canals.

After exchanging kindly greetings
with the whole company, Old Year
stepped up to June and asked her to
open the ball with him. For reply
she strewed him with her petals, and
then such u dance began as never
was seen before. The Minutes flew in
by the windows, and the Seconds
Jumped out Of the cracks In the
Ice floor. Everyone was giddy with
JOY and excitement, and Old Year, who
a few hours before was meditating
by the fire, now danced till even lively
June began to weary. Then he took
sweet April in his arms and the little
red feet and legs positively twinkled
round the hall. March executed a
Wild dance with October, and blew so
hard that bits Of his partners dress
were strewn over the floor.
At half past eleven some Of the
Minutes screamed out hat supper was
served, and Old Year and his friends
flew to take their last meal together.
Every imaginable dainty was on the
table and the dancing had made the
jewellers hungry.

"Bless mel II you aren't Brother

'thirty-first Of December"
"But I'm last January" said the
little fellow. Old Year laughed. "Of
course you are. You came in my
waistcont pocket and popped out be-
fore the others-they were afraid Of
the cold"
"Ohl glad o haven't quite forgot

and o must come, too"
You're very kind said Old Year,
"but really I'm so tired I'd rather sit
here and dream away my last hours"
Nov, don't talk like that, Old Year,

"Another excuse" cried January.
"Come along, they're all waiting. Be-

house with January on his shoulders.
Now although he had lived every
minute Of the year there was one
ching that Old Year had never done
he had never flown in an a%irplane. So
imagine his establishment when he saw
u great white biplanc covered with sill
yer frost OF ide his door. A gay,
breezy little fellow, whom he recog-
niZed as March, sat in the pilots seat.
He wore silver goggles and looked
every incl an aviator.
Old Year and January got in behind
the pilot, nnd soon the great silvery
bird was soaring up into the cold,
starry night.
They passed over cities and vii
lagos, lakes and forests, and every
where Old Year noticed preparations
for the coming Of his successor.
"They'd be surprised if they knew
where I was now" he thought. And
then he gave up his spirit to the Joy
Of the flight.
Finally Time Mountain came in
sight, and as they approached they
saw a dazzling sight. The whole
mountain was blazing with light, and
the trees shone as their boughs radi-
ated electricity.
