From the Fargo Courier News;
When train is sent crashing through
an omen draw through the carelessness
Of some signalman and score OF lives
are lost we are bitter in our condem-
nation If the man who made the mis-
take. We don't excuse him by saying
"He meant we'll" We say it is GRIM
mai to make mistakes of that sort.
One seconds carlessness or inatten-
ton in a battle, on sea or on land, may
lose the fight for our arms just as sure
Nv as cowardice or treachery would
lose it. It isn't just the same as trea'
son. but it has the same effect
Responsibility rests not merely on
the men in the trenches, not merely on
the generals and the staff assistants
and the gunners. 1t rests also on the
men of the supply trains, the an1munl'
ton transport, the commissary depart
n,ant and on back to the civilian, nun
areds or thousands of miles removed
from the scene of battle.
The Northwest, by patriotic exer'
ton of it's farmers, is raising DIE
grain crop this year. But a minutes
carelessness by one man or boy can
undo the labor of many men. A pie
of rubbish left where it ought not TO
he a cigarette thrown in a corner
and there will be disastrous elevator
fire, destroying perhaps thousands OF
bushels of grain.
This year that would mean lives
lost-lives of soldiers or lives OF wom-
en- and children. The world needs the
grain. The nation needs it. 1t can't be
spared.
Every man, woman, boy and girl this
summer should become a volunteer
fire department agent. This IS real
patriotic and useful work. 1t is ne
cessary work. The loss by grain field
and stack and elevator fires every year
reaches a tremendous total. 1t is
nothing less than criminal. 1t must
be stopped this year. There is no
way to stop it by law. The only way
is by the earnest effort of good citi-
Zens.

THE NIGHT ROAD

/ love the little highway beneath the
golden stars,
That wanders through the pastures
and leadeth through the bars,
The little road of night time-all quiet
still and deep
That leads us with the children to the
merry land of sleep. ~
The night road DER the meadows,
And by the winding stream,
Till through the tender shadows
We find the home of dream.
love to walk the night road, so wind
ing and so fair.
To listen to the music of the magic
lutes of air;
The little road that wanders from all
the roar and strife
Unto the pleasant country of the
sweet and restful life.
The night road, the bright road,
The fairy road again
That winds through sleepy hollow
To the tents of fairy glen.
There are no. flies or bugles and no
rolling drums where runs
The night road in its beauty to the
land of setting suns;
But evermore the angels with their
white wings kneel in prayer
At the shrines along the highway
where our hearts forget their
care. ~ a
The night road, with magic,
Its beauty and its glow, l K;
Where with the little children
To sleepy land we go.
