The Tribune has never doubted and
does not now doubt that the great

to this country and will continue so
in all circumstances. But there is evil

which has very inadequate sense Of

MERIDIAN ROAD
MEETING CALLED
AT FORKSFRIpAY
Expected Fargo Will Send
Delegates-Plan to Fed
eralize the Highway

Of1cials of the North Dakota divi-
sion OF the Meridian Road association,
which organization is in charge of the
work in North Dakota on the famous
Gulf of Mexico to Winnipeg automo-
bile highway, will hold an important
meeting in Grand Forks on Friday,
June /.
E. Y. Sarles, Hillsboro, president of
the North Dakota division, issued the
call for the meeting.
Interest attaches itself to the session
at this time because Of the plan that
Is under way for the liberalization of
the highway, the movement having al
ready attained no little support in the
counties directly affected.
Runs Through Whole Valley.
The Meridian highway runs through
Richland, Cass. Trail, Grand Forks,
Walsh and Pembina counties. 1t has
been proposed to form a combination
for the improvement of the highway
from the South Dakota border to
Grand Forks, the state, the nation and
the counties to join in the work under
the provisions of the federal road aid
act, and the state highway commits
sion law, passed by the last legisla-
ture.
Announcement that the government
has rescinded its former declaration
limiting road aid. because of the war,
has given a new stimulus to work
throughout this section. 1t is now the
governments policy to engage in road
work wherever the highways involved
are of military or post value, and in
the case Of the Meridian highway, 1t is
held that both aims are we'll served.
Has Invited All Counties.
President Sarles has invited every
county to send representatives to the
Friday conference to the end that
united action on the project for this
season may be obtained.
Fargo probably will be represented
at the meeting, though the delegates
have not yet been chosen.

THE ISIS

A Magdalene of the Hills would be a
production of extra merit If for no 9TH
err reason than the fidelity of its atn1os
phere, the unusual manner in which
Director John w. Noble has selected
the chief characters TO At their types, .
and the fine out-of-doors camera, work
by Herbert Carleton.
But the scenario by June Mathis is
one Of those sure-fire entertaining
stories which keep on going and get
somewhere. We are sorry we cannot
by any means say as much Of the
ordinary production nowadays. which
often gets by on account of the direc-
ton and camera work alone.
Add to the above good qualities very
acceptable acting by all the principals,
with special commentator of the work
of Mabel Taliaferro as Renie and
Frank Montgomery as old Mathis, and
it will be seen Metro has a very fine
Offering in A Magdalene OF the Hills.
1t will be seen at the Isis today and
Thursday.

THE STRAND

Bessie Barriscale plays twin sisters
in q new Triangle play, The Snarl,
produced under the supervision of
at the Strand theatre today only.
For continuous suspense and perfec-
ton Of the mystifying dual role this
play stands out as a screen gem. Miss
Barriscale has never created finer
character studies than the twin sis
tiers, one of noble, inspirational charm
and the other a frivolous creature
without soul.
Another feature, which will be of
interest to women. is the fact that the
star wears twenty eight different
gowns, enacting, as she does, the roles
Of twin sisters.

WHAT SERVICE MEANS

Write that word high in all thinking
and planning and work. It is the slo-
gan every true American citizen must
square up to. 1t Is not true merely
because he said 1t but President Will
son said recently what is tremen-
1ously true:
"The course of this nation Is marked
out clearly for the next decade at least.
What we shall do after that depends
upon what we will to do, but for the
next ten years America must be In
position to help other nations"
The first step In reaching that posi-
ton Of service Is to do the plain duty
we owe to each other-to pay our
bills SO all other men can pay theirs,
to square up all our accounts with
cash or discount paper, and declare a
new and popular emancipation Of ev-
erybody from every floating obligation
and unsecured debt.
A statewide movement for Pay-Up
Week simply means that every citizen
will do his duty. his first duty to his

PLANT TREES AND sHRuBBERY

II you are planning to plant orna-
mental trees and shrubs, plant In
groups, always leaving an open space
for grass.
Cut-leafed birch is a favorite tree
for planting on the home ground. 1t
is pyramidal In shape. with dropping
branches.
The Japanese naples are very beau
tiful, small trees in bush form with
vivid coloring Of cut leaves.
Many shrubs are more beautiful In
foliage than In flower, and some Of
them carry their fruits through the
winter In bright colors.
In setting trees or shrubs, make a
hole wide enough SO that the roots can
be spread out. avoiding twisting and
crowding as much as possible. Work
the soil In about the roots, leaving no
spaces. and packing firmly.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and she street In such manner
as to hide the view from the windows
and doors. To obstruct the outlook Is
very annoying to those confined to the
house. Trees and shrubbery should be
placed so as to form background or
setting for the dwelling.-E. v. B.

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele il
Its that uric acid was found within the
body--most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress

II was DR.. Pierce Of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered a new agent
called Anuric, q harmless remedy
that il taken before meals will carry of
the uric acid from the system and III

self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce l0c. fol

PR0PAGATING BY CUTTING
BY {. VAN BENTHUysEN.

Where thousands of plants are
grown for positions In the open air
during the summer. this Is an impor-
tant operation. from March onward.
Considerable forethought and know
ledge of the work are necessary to OBJ
tain the plants In suitable condition
and In sufficient numbers when the
time for planting out arrives.
Although decried by some, the scar
let geranium still has hosts of admir-
ers, especially since the introduction
of SO many beautiful varieties.
Cuttings of the varieties Of which
the numbers are short can be inserted
now. These may be obtained from the
old plants lifted from the beds in the
autumn, or few tops may be taken
off the strongest of the young plants.
Inserted In light, sandy soil, they will
soon root on shelf In warm house.
Cuttings Of ageratum. coleus, hello
trope, iresine, fuchsia. fibrous-rooted
begonia, etc, when required In guam
ity, should be inserted In bed Of sand
made up in propagating frame with
bottom heat.
Three inches Of sand will be suffi-
cient, and II this is made firm, well
supplied with water and a bottom heat

of the cuttings will be rooted In week

CLEAR THE SLATE

Iii earlier days II was common for
buyers TO say 10 the store keeper, Put
1t on the slate" which happened to
be the usual ledger for keeping ac-
counts. When the customer got hold
Of some money he would come In and
say, more or less cheerfully, "Clear
the slate" and the account was wiped
out with cash in hand.
'Clear the slate" Is the slogan Of im-
mense practical worth. Men who walk
the streets with the consciousness that
they owe no man anything, show 1t in
their walk. Their knees don't sag.
Their chins don't drop. Their shonl-
ders are up, chins up, heads up, and
they look the world In the face with
out notion of lodging anybody. A
nation made, up Of citizens who made
1t business to keep the slate clear
could quickly lead the world In the
business of being free men.

This is the proper time to slip your

leaves, and plant half beneath the

Early In February dahlia tubers, Of
which large stock are required, may

Placed on the stage, partly burying the
