SOME READABLE VERSE
MEN OF THE NORTH

Men of the North, look up!t
There's tumult in your sky:
A troubled glory surging out,
Great shadows hurrying by.
Your strength-where is it now?
Your quivers-are they spent? -
Your arrows in the rust of death, -
Four fathers bows unbent?
Men of the North awake!
Ye're called to from the deep;
Trumpets in every breeze
Yet there We lie asleep.
A stir in every tree;
A shout from every wave;
A challenging on every side;
A moan from every grave:
A battle in the sky;
Ships laundering through the air
Jehovah on the march
Men of the North, to prayer!
Now, now-in all your strength;
There's that before your way,
Above, above you, and below,
Like armies in array.
Lift up your eyes, and see
The changes overhead;
Now hold your breath and hear
The mastering of the dead.
See how the midnight air
With bright commotion burns,
Thronging with giant shapes,
Banner and spear by turns.
The sea-fog driving in,
Solemnly and swift,
The moon afraid-stars dropping out
The very skies adrift;
The Everlasting God,
Our Father-Lord of Love
With cherubim and seraphim
All gathering above;
Their stormy plumage lighted hp
AS forth to war they go;
The shadow of the Universe,
Upon our naughty foe!
John Neal.

Rv Francis Scott Key

By Francis Scott Key
O saw can you see, by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilights last cleaning
Whose broad strips and bright stars,
. through the clouds Of the fight,
Der the ramparts we watched were
so CALAMITY streaming
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
fag was still there;
O, saw. does that Star-Spangled Ban
ner yet wave
Der the land of the free and the
home of the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the
mjsts Of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in
dread silence repOses,
What is that which the breeze, Ger
the towering steep,
AS it ftfully blows, now conceals,
now disclOses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on
the stream;
IT'S the Star-Spangled Banner; o long
may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vaunt-
ingly swOre
That the havoc of war and the bat
ties confusion
A home and a country should leave
us no more?
Their blood has washed out their
foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of fight, or the gloom
of the grave;
And the Star-Spangled Banner in tri-
umph doth wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home Of the brave.
O! thus be it ever, when freemen
shall stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heav'n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made
and preserved us nation.
Then conquer we must, when our
cause it is just,
And this be our motto-"In God is our
trust"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in tri
umph shall wave
Ger the land Of the free and the
home of the brave.

CONCORD HYMN


Sung at the Completion of the Battle
Monument, April 10, 1899.
BY the rude bridge that arched the
flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled
Here once the embattled farmers
stood,
And fired the shot heard round the
world.
The foe long since in silence slept:
Alike the conqueror silent slept;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which sea-
ward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft
stream,
We set today votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are
gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and
thee.

FOSTERING COMMUNITY SPIRIT

In recent years the thought of COM
munity rather than of the individual
has been developed to marked de-
gree. Men are coming more to realize
that it is both privilege and duty, as
we'll as good economics and sound
business sense, to consider the COM
munity and it's development and ad-
vancement as seriously as they con-
slider their individual well-being. They
are coming to know that if the indi-
vidual is to prosper, the community is
to prosper. Now is the time to carry
this thought even further and to rea-
lie that North Dakota is one big CON-
munity, of which Barnes county is an
important integral unit. Never was
there greater need of opportunity for
community thought as applied to the
needs of all.
1t is our duty to raise the minimum
to the present average, and the pres
ent average to something approaching
a maximum We must create and fos-
ter a better community spirit in both
town and country. We must quit
preaching and practicing DISTRICT.
When entire communities cooperate
for both production and marketing we
will begin to see light. What is good
for the country is good for the town.
No problems will ever be solved
through individualism. We must lay
the foundation of standardization.

The Times-Record has been ap-
preached with a request to publish a
reply to the criticism of militia boys
in the city in regard to their conduct
towards the girls and young women on
the streets. We do not believe matters
will be helped by publishing personal
opinions. 1t seems quite probable that
both sides are to blame. The young
women are entitled to the strictest re.
spect as long as they do not overstep
the bounds of propriety. The soldier
boys might remember that now their
duties are military rather than So
cial, and confne their efforts to those
things that will rebound to the honor
of their country and themselves.
