sidered, and a campaign wa:
planned, but it was postponed be-
cause of the reorganization Of the
state work. This reorganization
has been completed, and the Fargo
chapter has now adopted the plan
for financing its work. .
Every Fargo resident will be
asked to contribute one per cent
of his income to Red Cross work,
monthly.
The Fargo chapter is TO be con-
graduated on adopting a most sane
and businesslike method of
financing its work, and one which
will assure it a definite monthly
income.
The cali has gone out. Every
man knows what he is expected
to give. II shouldn't be necessary
for the canvassers to go around
seeking the pledges. They should
be forwarded promptly and with
out solicitation to H. P. Beckwith,
the treasurer of the chapter. Soil
citation is a great waste of energy
if it can be avoided. Why not just
remove the necessity of solicita-
ton in this Red Cross campaign,
and in the Liberty Loan campaign
that is to come?

An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

st. Paul Dispatch: There is ample
food for reflection in the address
which Chief Justice Bruce, OF the
North Dakota supreme court, deliv-
cred before the American Bar asso-
aliens and hyphenated citizens might
profitably take its words to heart.
II and millions of others like me
came to this country without money
End without friends" said Justice
Bruce. I'VE sponged on all that
America had, her free land, her free
schools, and above all her spirit OF
open hearted comradeship. She owed
us nothing, but she gave us all We
swore allegiance to her nag, her
Constitution and her laws. We would
be recreants, ingrates, perjurers and
ours IL in the hour of her need we
counseled with her enemies and were
disIoyal to her cause"
Ringing words, these, and they
should rouse the latent sense of pa
triotism in every foreign born citi-
zen who may have been affected by
subtle pro- German sedition. For, in
the last ANALYSIS, foreign born citi-
zens owe a greater debt of loyalty
to the United States than those who
were born within its boundaries. One
is a citizen by accident or birth, the
other deliberately selected this coun-
try as his own, made the most Of its
opportunities, and, as Justice Bruce
says, he is nothing but a recreant,
an migrate, q perjurer and worse than
q cur IL ne proves false to his oath
OF allegiance.

In Price Fixing Says J. Ogden Armour

, er food products as well-can be
materially reduced, there will have
| to be a far-reaching change in the
demands made by the public upon
the retail trade. = He (the re-
tailer) is compelled to charge in the

will enable them to reduce their cost
OF doing business.
I'm the first place there are too
many stores. 1t is obvious that If
there were only a third as many as
now exist, each one would do about
three times the volume of business
1t is now doing. and a huge amount
of overhead and fixed expense would
be cut off, making 1t possible to sell
goods on a much smaller margin than
is now the case. Those merchants

the public has the same right to limit
the number of stores as a means of
reducing prices as II has to limit the
number OF saloons as a means of

IF the people OF today would
adopt the cash and carry system OF
purchasing instead of clinging to the
credit and delivery plan. it would be
boon to both dealer and consumer.
I'm a word, when the buying pub
| lie permits the retailer to dispense
with frequent and costly deliveries,
when consumers pay their bills
promptly so that the merchant can
meet his obligations before having
to pay interest, when the quick NOV
Ing advertised and standardized food
crowd the slow rSoving stuff off the
shelves, and when the number of
stores is limited to a point which
will permit of a big business being
done by each--then, and not till then

consumer at a price which will not
seem high when compared with the
