ONE FOR ALI-ALL FOR ONE.

The present high pressure of modern
efficiency is demonstrated in the mo-
mentum and rapidity with which in
ventions, improvements and reforms
follow each other. What required CEN
turies of accomplishment is now ac-
complished in decade; what was left
for lone man to espouse is support
ed assiduously by millions; every as
piration and tendency has it's scores
of champions. Today, the most effic-
lent is not he of infinite learning but
he who has faith in what he believes
and works for it. And the exemplifi-
cation of efficiency is cooperation.
North Dakota and this community
need more Of it.
Like the individual, community
can only attain to its highest oppor-
tunity by efficiency. It's successes, it's
failures, are eloquent of efficiency or
the lack of it. What the individual is
not willing to do the community can
not hope to accomplish. It is the
unity of effort, the application of the
best constructive forces within it in a
common cause for the benefit of the
community, that makes of that COM
munity power and impelling force,
a desirable, place to live in, and the
best place in the world to invest ones
money and buy the things one needs.
War is not holiday. On our sue
cesses or failures in the kitchens, in
the pursuits of our daily occupations,
the Zone for all and all for one" morale
of those left behind-on their, no less
than on our successes or failures on
the battlefelds, depends whether or
not the nation shall stand or fall
Each of us has his opportunity, his
serious responsibility. AS individuals
make community, so communities
make nation. This nation must not
fall, it's banner of liberty be trodden
in the dust to submerge those ideals
of democracy for which the flag
stands.
We must take care Of the commun-
ity, give to it the best that lies within
us, and so dedicating our efforts in
sure to posterity, unsullied by defeat
or lapse in duty, those Stars and
Stripes that emblemize our liberty and
ideals.

SUPERINTENDENT WOLFE.

Superintendent S. Henry Wolfe is
dead. The man who spent fifteen
years of the best part of his life in
building up the Minot schools, sue
cumbed to the ravages of disease
which Slapped his wonderful vitality.
He chung tenaciously to life which he
hoped might be spared to those de-
pendent upon him. Mr.. Wolfe was a
remarkable man and as the head of the
Minot schools, he developed with our
city and our educational system. Mi
not was but small, rather unimport-
ant town of about nine or ten hum
dred population when Supt. Wolfe
took charge of our schools. A half
dozen teachers could easily take care
of all the work at that time. Well the
writer remembers the first high school
commencement exercises and in sue
ceeding years we watched the growth
of Minot's educational system under
Mr.. Wolfe's master hand. Teachers
and new school buildings were added
as rapidly as possible to take care Of
our educational needs and when Mr..
Wolfe left our city to take up his work
at Hutchinson, Mimi, there were fifty
teachers in the various departments
under him. He had been instrumental
in raising Minot's educational system
to very high plane, for our schools
came to be regarded as among the
very best in North Dakota. Mr..
Wolfe lived clean life. During all
the years that he resided with US, he
committed no act that would not bear
the closest scrutinization. He was a
good citizen, hard working, capable
educator, devoted husband and low
ing father. A man who perhaps was
just little lacking in diplomacy, but
an honest, outspoken, wholesouled
gentleman. Minot owes great debt
to the man who spent SO many years
in guiding the footsteps and directing
the thoughts of thousands of our boys
and girls. Mr.. Wolfe was real man.

NOT ALL ARE LIKE THIS.

She gets up in the morning at about
nine o'clock and scolds "maw" for not
having the toast right. She puts on a
dress that is short at top and bottom.
She wears white shoes and stockings
SO thin that the boys take notice. She
could not boil water without burning
it nor make bed without leaving hair
her to the ''moovies" and talks
naughty" to her, because of the free
dom he thinks belongs to him on ac-
count of his dad being well fixed.
There is pair for you. Neither of
them any good for anything above or
under the sun. Petted, pampered,
spoiled and diseased they become new
lyweds and parents Of one baby. Poor
baby! A weakling arrives in the world

The ,selective draft bill has finally
been passed and June has been set as
the time for registration of all males
between the ages of 81 and 80 years
inclusive. The sheriff, county auditor
and county physician shall constitute
the county registration board, of which
the sheriff shall be the chairman. The
board will appoint registrar in each
voting precinct in the county and see
that the proper places are provided to
hold the registration. The board has
the authority to ask the assistance of
any county, city or township official
or of any citizen for this registration.
The government does not want the
people to feel that this is forced
draft, but the fairest way that could
be devised in raising an army. Later
the age limit may be raised and any
one of US called to arms or to some
other duty.

The government has ordered Gen.
Pershing, who led the expedition into
Mexico, to proceed at once to France
with division of 10000. This number
will be but drop in the bucket as
compared with the millions in arms,
but will show the Allies that we are
willing and will lose no time in getting
our main army in readiness. It will
show them that powerful ally has
come to thir support against German
aggression.

The average value of an acre Of
North Dakota soil without improve
ments is estimated by the United
States Department of Agriculture to
be $31 today, whereas five years ago
the same land could have been bought
for $24. Improved land is worth 500
an acre, compared with $50 in 1912,
and the average price for all land is
$33 per acre in 1917, as against $50
in 1916. The average price Of Mon
tana's unimproved farm lands is S25,
and it's improved lands are worth $35.

AND WHY Do YOU WORRY?

SO many OF US spend notable
amount of time going around telling
folks what we have to worry about.
The following excerpt from the phil
osophy Of a French soldier is not such
bad philosophy for any Of us for that
matter. This is the way he puts it:
OF two things one is certain: Either
you're modified or your not mobil-

Many automobile owners continue
to display but one tag this year. These
people are liable to run into stiff fine
if some Jealous officer notices this
oversight. The law passed by the Fiji
teenth assembly and given immediate
effect, requires that both tags be dis
played, one in front and one on the
rear of the car, and there is as great
a penalty for failing to show both tags
ar for not displaying any.

The postal department is getting
ready to economic. 1t has been an
nounced that many rural mail routes
will be discontinued during the sum-
mer months when inspectors will make
an examination of all roads used for
these routes. When found unfit for
travel, routes will be discontinued.
North Dakota has many roads which
will come under the governments ban
unless they are repaired at once. The
loss of postal service on road may be
easily brought about by the careless
ness of single road overseer, and
the whole community made to suffer.

The president explains that the Col

time, these officers are needed for our
