the people generally are patriotic
and loyal and desire to support the
government in every way, but, on the
other hand, they feel that unequal
burdens ought not to- be placed upon
them, and that if they must accept a
price very much lower for their wheat
than was secured by the wheat rails
ers in the winter belt that the other
commodities which they must buy
ought to receive a corresponding out
in their retail price.
The farmers of the state are pre-
pairing to put in another large
acreage of wheat next year and it is
probable that there will be a very
large acreage even if the price is left
at the present level but in order to en-
courage a large acreage, the farmers
must be assured that there will be no
more unreasonable price cutting.
The meetings at Fargo and st. Paul
promise to be we'll attended and it is
understood here at the Capitol that
they will be devoted entirely to a
discussion of these economic questions
involving the well-being of the far
Imer but that they will not in any
way partake of the nature of peace
meetings nor will they be devoted to
an assault upon the war policies OF
the present administration. 1t is a
general understanding among state
officials that they will not discuss the
war except as it pertains to price
fixing.

All this might be overlooked if the criticisms were based on
cver-zealous patriotism. We cannot have too much patriotism
of the right kind. But it is not necessarily patriotism to engage
in deafening noise making and accusing others of being traitors.
Patriotism is devotion to the welfare of ones country. 1t is not
noise. Nor does it manifest itself in pointing the finger of suspi-
cion at those who might disagree with us OF the proper or best
method of promoting the welfare of our country.
Utterly discredited and %repudiated by the people Of the state,
the old gang is now attempting to claim a monopoly on American
ism, patriotism and loyalty. Those who contributed to their
political defeat, through the farmers organization ,ae branded
as traitors and sedhionsts, in the hope that enough of the mud
will stick to assist the old crowd in again securing control of the
state government.
The war and its big problems are used as means to an end.
Some patriots!

HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT

Subscribers to the recent $4,000 100000 issue of liberty bonds
and intending subscribers to the second liberty loan are interest
ed in knowing just how money obtained is used. A large amount
of money is necessary to maintain the navy, which has been
To put the navy on a war basis, every ship had to be fully
manned and commissioned. Many auxiliary vessels also had to
be added. -.
On April 6 there were 81 $50 enlisted men; now there are more
than 10000. In addition, we have enlisted more than 1000
reserves and there are 10000 National Naval Volunteers in SER
vice.
Contracts have been placed for every destroyer and submarine
chaser that the shipyards of the country can build, and new re-
cords are expected in construction. All this is in addition to the
32,0OO-ton battleships; the five battle cruisers of $4,000 tons
each, the largest and swiftest war vessels ever built; the six
scout cruisers and many auxiliary craft for which we have made
contracts. These will be built as early as possible, but the right
of way in construction is being given to destroyers and small
craft.
Since the day war was declared the navy has patroled our own
coats. For coast defenses scores of vessels have been secured
yachts, fishing vessels, fast motor boats, and other minor craft,
and others are being added to this force as rapidly as possible.
The navy has sent to France a corps of aviators, who arrived
on June 8, the first contingent of the regular armed forces Of
has been greatly enlarged, aviation bases established along the
coast, and officers and men trained in the operation of sea-
planes, dirigbe balloons, and other types Of aircrafts. An add
itonal appropriation of $45, O00,O 900 has been asked for aviation.
About $18,O00,O00 is involved in the entire building program in
our navy yards, training stations, submarine and aviation bases,
supplies, the new shops, foundries, shipways, the huge dry
docks, and the various structures under way or provided for

There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro.
tect the people as well as posterity
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be com.
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that, but we mostly are very sloppy
people whose motto is "the easiest
way is the best"
II we let our soil run down. our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain a larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed. The colleges and expert
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact.
all Of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would

Of combining by-products with silage
and other low.priced meat producing

to find out the protein content Of any
article, or mixture, of stock feedstuns
now on the market, and It is merely a
matter Of the farmer figuring out the
worth of the foods on their nourishing
power, and then to purchase that
which will give him the most econom-
