superseded by thoughts OF private or
national gain. just that much are peo-
pie or the individual less patriotic.
The patriots Of history are rs great

world are the few examples Of men
lacking in loyalty and patriotism. A

WAR AND WEATHER.

War and weather arc the two most
important topics before the United
States today. War and It's many
ramifications are constantly before us.
Weather Is OF greater interest than
ever, because weather means crops,
crops mean food for ourselves and our
allies and food in turn is to Play n
vital part in the final determination Of
victory.
Western Montana's thought ana
prayer is concentrated on better
weather. Many OF the pcssimists be-
licvc that the late spring has already
done much damage. Such, however.
is not the opinion Of experienced agri-
culturalists. Often they have seen n
backward spring. such as VIC are ex-
pcrcncing at present, and later on a
bumper harvest. These people do
their worrying at the last minute, be-
cause In the end 1t may not be neccs-
sary. 1t Is possible that winter will
drop It's last hold any time now and
that in response to the gentle touch Of
Il few spring rains and little warm
ing sunshine, grass and crops will
start over night and by working n lit
tie overtime catch up.
Worry when It's time" is good
doctrine. Meanwhile. get the pillow
ing done and the seed in. Perhaps by
that time the growing season will have
really started.

WHEN FRIEND WIFE CALLS.
(F'rom the Irish Worldly


We hold these facts to be proved:
That no husband ever wants his
wife to cali on him at his office during
business hours. except upon his in
vitation.
That no wife can possibly know HOY:
she upsets his routine, disorders the
mental processes that go on during
those hours, and subjects herself to
the gossip of his office mates.
That there is no easy way to make
wife see this.
We proceed from these truisnls to Il
few observations.
a lovely creature brcczes into her

THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH.

There Is negro problem in the
north. For the past half year negroes
have been moved from the south in
Chicago at the rate Of 10000 n month.
The great demand for unskilled labor
along with better wages has caused u
migration that. has been skillfully mar
aged by negro leaders who are not
animated by philanthropic motives.
The negroes in Chicago have here
tofore lived within a territory bound
ed by lines fairly well defined. The
new arrivals which almost equal the
entire negro population OF the city of
few years ago make II necessary to
enlarge these boundaries or seek new
locations.
At this point property owners and
real estate brokers become vitality in
tcrcsted. A negro family take. quar-
tiers In an apartment houac and tho
other tenants move ont. A negro buys
a home and the other houses in the
block are immediately offered for sale
The negro Is. Of course. not gullible
to the point where he will pay Il white
mans price when he can cut the valu-
alton by simply waiting to follow the
advance guard OF his race.
The result: is that a few clever Chi
lcago raised negroes are making for
tunes by locating negro families in
good residence districts.
What is to be done? Nothing per-
manent that we can sec but to await
the millennium when social equality OF
the races may be established. In the
interval something may be accom-
iplished by patience. forbcarance and
Tolerance. In this particular instance
1.-The wiser course for the negroes wouio
be a willingness to refrain from press
ling the issue too far.
The white people. may on the othe1
hand, acquire q degree Of sympathy TO
the white people Of the south who liv'
under the ccaseless and haunting feal
OF misccgcnation Of these races.
