SEIZED SHIPS SOON READY

United States Can Sail Soon.

Washington. April 21.-Vigorous
steps are being taken by the govern
ment to make the seized German ships

board to take foreign-built craft on the
ways and pay for them probably will
be introduced in congress next week
Nearly 10000 tons now are building

Safe Medicine for Children.

''Is it safe?" is the first question
to be considered when buying cough
medicine for children. Chamber

a favorite with mothers of young
children as it contains no opium or
other narcotic, and may be given to
child as confidently as to an adult.
1t is pleasant to take, too, which is
of great importance when medicine
must be given to young children.

At the election held on Monday of
this week 600, 600 Canadian women
were for the first time admitted to the
polling booths sof an election precinct.
The election was an suspicious one,
the result indicating the government
of the dominion for the next four
years. A feature of the election
which will clarity itself as the results
are finally gained is the fact of the
vote that was cast on that day by over
400, 900 women who are the relatives
of men who have entered the military
service of the mother country. Under
the volunteer system these women
are qualified voters. Canada has been
a heavy sufferer in the var of the past
three years, but as far as heard from
the mothers and sisters of the boys
who have crossed the sea to fight are
still loyal and have given additional
evidence of their belief in the fight
when it is known that the principle
lies behind the policy of mother country
in the worlds great war. a

COMMUNICATION.

The farmers of Cavalier county in
starting out with a newspaper of their
own are not doing it for pleasure,
or for the money that there is in it.
But they feel that it is a necessity, as
many of the county papers are run,
either to express the ideas of the
editor, or those of a small group of
men and therefore the majority of the
people cannot express their views at
all.
1t is recognized by all civilized ma.
tions that the power of the press is
the greatest weapon known to pro-
gress, and therefore it is absolutely
necessary for the farmers toown their
own paper, 50 that they can correct
the many abuses that have been heaped
upon their shoulders in the past, and
that il would be almost as foolish to
run their farms without machinery as
to be without papers. We will no
doubt hear it said by some that a
bunch of farmers don't know how to
run a newspaper OF course they
don't, but there is the same remark
to be applied to lots of others that
are running them now, but they can
learn. The greatest art in running a
newspaper, we should think, is to use
your common sense, and to recognize
the fact that every class of people are
depending on each other, and that
treatment should be extended them
accordingly. AS one of the most re-
tarding forces of progress has been
when one class has been arraigned
another. 1t will be said
also that we might not get dividends
from the paper. We don't think we
We don't get much dividends
from educating u boys and girls,
still we persist in doing it. But we
get human progress on a bigger scale
on account of il and the same argu
ment will apply to newspapers And
as Tor the ability or the farmers
to run their newspaper, 1 think they
will be able to do it, as they have
done bigger things than this. For
instance, taking the raw prairie from
the hand of nature and turning it into
beautiful homes, with its teeming
millions, not to mention our schools,
our churches and our public institu
and all the human PROCESS that
can be traced. directly and Indirectly

this matter later on, but one thing

Somewhere in New Jersey"

iii a private letter which has been
received in Langdon during the week
from one of the Company E. boys
since their arrival at Camp Merritt.
the following item will interest
many: According to camp gossip,
(which by the way is better disregard.
ed for ones peace of mind, } says that
we shall leave this camp some time
around midnight before the present
week is out or within a couple Of
weeks at the outside. We were
brought here under the greatest Sc
crecy, and since arriving our means
of communication with the outside
world has been practically cut off.
According to camp gossip, the reason
for this is is to keep our departure
from the country from leaking out
and further as q precaution against
Germans knowing when our transports
are to leave. Camp Merritt has the
name of being a disappearing station
for troops. Soldiers destined for SER
vice abroad are stationed here for
awhile and suddenly they disappear,
nothing is heardfro them for a while,
until the folks at home receive letters
from Somewhere in France, and,
are told that, 81 arrived over here
safe and sound. II presume that the
l16th Trench Mortar Battery will
shortly disappear in like menne.
