In HONOR OF OLD GLORY

Sioux Falls journal: Because Of
the grave international situation
which the United States is facing, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & S.. Paul rail
way is calling the attention of its pa
trops to the countrY's flag.
The company is decorating its din
ing cars with the national colors and
has prepared menu showing on its
cover a representation Of Old Glory
in colors waving in the breeze, under
a stanza from the "Star Spangled
Banner. The first diner so equipped
arrived Saturday and was the center
of admiration among the Ioca. rail-
road men. A large card suitable for
framing has also been issued by the
company with the waving flag sur
mounted by the American eagle with
a verse of the national anthem print
ed in gold beneath. In addition a
small lapel button in the shape of a
bow made of the American dag work
ed in silk will be distributed.

FORMER ENEMIES FRIENDS

War makes strange bedfellows as
is shown by the present conflict in
Europe. Especially it is remarked
about the close relationship now ex-
isting between Russia and Japan. A
few years ago they were engaged in
bloody conflict on land and sea.
Commenting on such things the
Des Moines Capital says:
When Bulgaria entered the Teu-
tonic alliance it united her troops
with those of Turkey. In 1912 Bul.
garia and Turkey were in death grips
over the upheaval in the Balkan Pc
Eninsua. Recent news dispatches tell
how the Spanish ambassador at Ber-
lin has taken over the embassy Of the
United States. Spain will act as our
next friend in future negotiations
with the German government. Less
than two decades ago cur army add
navy administered TO Spain most
humiliating defeat"
There are hopeful reflections in the
face Of the bitterness and strife that
is enguiiing the MAJOR portion of the
civilized world.
In following this war new alliances
are made as they probably will be,
regardless of the outcome, therais no
! telling what the political complexion
of the world will be. 1t may be that
between Germany and the United
States which are now threatening
each other there will be closer
friendship than has eyer existed in
the past, a condition greatly to be
desired by America, populated as it
IS by millions of native born Ger
mans or persons of German descent.
Mexico, too, which has been inclined
to balk at American ideas will prob
ably see the error of its ways and
become a strong ally as it should
and asthe other American republics
appear to be.

A NEW STAR


Altho expectations ran high the

lecture recital far exceeded the anti
cipatiops of the music lovers of
Pierre and her work has aroused an
enthusiasm not felt for any other
artist who has appeared in the city.
That the lady is a South Dakota pro-
duct adds to the satisfaction of every
one SO fortunate as TO hear her. For
more than two hours she executed the
most briliiancy aud faultlessness of
technique that stamped her unques-
tionably one of the great masters of
music, dea repertoire embraced all
of the great composers, Schumann,
Schubert, List, RGhepsteiu, Grieg
and others, Miss Hldasmith' great
natural talent has had the benefit Of
the greatest schools but she has de-
veloped an individuality in her work
that is both unique and tremendously
effective. Her chatty little discus
sions of the several composers and
their work, added much to the enjoy
mept of the occasion. 1t was her
first public appearance in her native
state and she may be certain that fu-
ture visits will win to her enthusias.

GROWS MORE CORN

The acreage of corn in South Dako-
ia has increased in the last five years.
Last year was better for corn than
for small grain. Corn made from 95
to 45 bushels an acre, which is exeep-
tionaely good for the Northern part
OF Sonth Dakota
Corn usually has been planted on
spring plowing, bnt there will be
some planted on fall blowing. The
fall plowing will be very hard to keep
clean as wild oats viii start at least
a month before the corn. That is
the reason why fall blowing IS a rule
is thought to he poor way of pre-
pairing ground for corn.
Plow the ground to inches deep
er than it has been plowed for small
grain, and then harrow it twice be-
fore you are ready TO plant the corn.
Corn should be planted about May 10
and should be checked so that the
corn can be cultivated both ways.
Wild oats can be kept out by cultivat-
ing both ways Cultivate the corn
three or four times. Go close to the
corn the first time, so as to kill all
the weeds you can Bun weeder

MEXICAN BORDER RAIDS

4AGA4SfAN pOFSDEN MAIDS
The recent bandit raid on '.corner
ranch in which an organized band
of Mexican outlaws, and reported to
be members of FRANCISCO Villas ar
my, carried off or killed three Ameri-
can citizens, besides securing much
valuable loot, is another demonstra.
ton of the inability of General Car
rama to maintain order in the south
ern republic.
The constitutiopaIist leader in his
negotiations with the United States
through the Mexican commission.
"hich lalied in its efforts to settle
border disputes between the two
countries, gave assurances that with
the withdrawal of General Pershing's
troops from northern Chihuahua his
forces would be able to force the
Villisfas into submission and stated
that the presence of the Americans
was greatly hamperlng the opera
tions of the de facto military author
lties in that vicinity iii their efforts
to restore order.
Now that the Americans have evac-
uated Mexico the de facto leaders
have had free hand To act and the
corner ranch raid seemingly is a se-
we're blow to Carranza prestige, both
in the United States and that part of
Mexico where the people rely upon
the constitutIonalists to protect their
lives and property. The incident
may result, however, in convincing
the lettering de facto chieftain that
the presence of United States forces
in northern Mexico probably DELAYED
the Inevitable fall of the recognized
| government rather than retarding
| the movement to quell the numerous
revolutions.
| The same drastic step by this coun-
try will follow the kidnapping or kill
ing OF Americans and the invasinn Of
United States territory ia certainty.
The Dispatch Of Ambassador Fletch-
er to his post at Mexico City and the
return of all the American consuls
returned last summer is probably q
preliminary step in plan to invoke
stronger methods Of dealing with the
border menace. Naturally any i'm
portant move contemplated by this
government would have to be decided
upon only after complete and reliable
information has been secured and it
is doubtless the aim of the Washing
ton administration TO gather this in
formation through regular accredit-
ed enVoys in Mexico.
However, it ia to be hoped that
pending euch decision by Washing
ton some effective method for pro-
tecting border lives and property
will be utilized by military forces.
With thousands Of regulars and state
troops still in the vicinity there
|should be no hesinancy in using every
means possible TO preyentsuch incur.
sjons, and this failing, American
troops should be sent across the bor-
der to punish if possible members of
the raidiug bands.
! Expeditions such as that watch
General Pershing led into Mexico
have a tendency to lessep Che danger
of marauding parties crossing the
line and more frequent and less ex-
tensige movements of the same char
acter would no doubt bring the Mexi-
cans to a full realization of the dang
ers they facesip aggravating the tenn
per of America, already strained to
the breaking point.
