SHOCKING TRAGEDY
NARROWLY AVERIEO

Last Thursday after school four lit
tie girls took Their skates and trudged
down to the East Main street bridge,
to try the ice. A lot Of boys were al
ready there, and promptly began to
torment them, and would not let them
skate. A big bonfire was burning on
the ice, and the now thoroughly chill
ed and unhappy children tired to get
to the fire to warm themselves. The
boys drove them away, using the vii
est language. One child tried to stick
it out near the fire, when a boy threw
gasoline over her feet and ankles.
Only the merest chance prevented
her from being burned alive. Her
clothes rocked of gasoline after she
had walked a mile home.
Is there one reason why your child
and mine need be the victims of I'M
restricted lawlessness? Is there one
reason why the boy who threw the gas
ollne should not be found and flogged
in the city jail-possibly deterring
deeds of similar nature. twill be re,
membered that similar VIC business
last year, resulted in little boy hav-
ing his arm broken. The big boy who
did 1t was not punished.
Is there one reason why the skat-
ing places should not be made safe for
the children?

NO LON:SiNG ON TIE JOB

What would be done with the driv-
er OF an ammun ton wagon who was
supposed to be carrying ammunition
to the American soldiers on the battle
front who quit the job to 80 fishing.
What would be done with the man
whose bus ness it was to get food to
the boys in the trenches who quit be-
cause he thought he had done enough
for that day, and who let the soldiers
80 without their supper?
What would be done with the army
doctor who quit ministering to the
wounded because he didn't think much
OF the war anyway?
That which would be done to each
of these men would be good and plen-
ty. And it would be done with the
full approval of nearly all of us.
Then how about the man who neg
lects or refuses to do his part toward
getting the ammunition to the man
Who is to take it to the front; the food
to the man who is to carry it to the
trenches; the dressings and bandages
to the surgeon in order that he may
perform operations and save life? Is
there any difference? The soldier at
the front is there to do his part. The
man just behind him is there to do
his. And the rest of us, rank by
rank, are here in order that we make
it possible for all those men to per.
form their work. There must be no
ioafng on the job.

A CALL TO SERVICE

There are over 5000 active open
cases of tuberculosis in North Dakota
ana over 1000 die annually from the
disease. This death toll, with it's in
ev'table economic loss, from a malady
that is largely, if not wholly, prevent
able, calls for our best efforts to check
progress.
The North Dakota Anti-Tuberculosis
association is engaged in a campaign
of education that will give an oppOr-
tunity for every person in the state 10

ing facts pertaining to tuberculosis
that hey may intelligently, nationally
and successfully combat it's progress.
They desire to enlist the sympathy
and cooperation of all individuals and
agencies that have to do with the NOR
al, social and economic uplift of our
people.
Patriotism means serving the nation.
Every seal sold makes possible
More Education.
More Health Inspection
More Public Health Nurses.
More work among all the people.

North Dakota has nothing to fear.
We busy ourselves here from day to

been recognized as necessary, by the
Grafton and subsequent acton of con.
trolling organizations Of the govern
ment
Our duty is clear We must not only
keep up but speed up our industries, so
that our contributions to victory may
be increased.
Let lis therefore put our shoulder
earnestly to the task. Let us towns
folk not denend entirely upon the
farmers: let's do our BIT and render
them little mere aid and co-oneration

EATING TOO MUCH

You're digging your grave with

sore, long, long has IT yearned for a

more, the which you would have it
digest. Go slow on your eating, I beg;
the money you blow in for pies, would
buy some poor cripple leg, or fix
him with vitreous eyes. Oh, list to my
patient harangues, don't turn from my
rede In disgust; you're digging your
grave with your fangs, while millions
are craving crust All Europe is
hungry, they say; the women and
children are lean: the helpless, the
stricken and gray, can't find in the
larder bean. And you are devour-
ing the rusks, consuming the dough
nuts and pies; you're digging your
grave with your tusks, all deaf to the
hungry folks cries. Says Hoover,
You're helping us win, by cutting
out sugar and fats, by dieting till you
are thin reducing the lard on your

flags are borne in a cause That sub

I'M TiE SERVICE

You're III your country's service now
The flag you live for seems
A symbol new, each star, each stripe
With added luster Cleans;
And only you can know the thrill,
Can feel the hearts red flame,
For you have sworn to serve her true
And keep her fold from shame.
You're IN your countrys service now;
What better place to be?
You stand with men who dare to so
And fight for liberty.
And honor-yes, it's great to live,
And greater still to die!
For noble are the hearts that hear
The voice of freedom cry.
You're in your country's service now
On you she looks with pride;
And in your loyalty she trusts
The stormy waves to ride.
Strong men are you with spirits brave,
The courage and the will
That ever leads to victory,
The crown OF heroes still.
You're in your country's service now;
March on! The bugles blow!
A nations blessing take with you,
America is you-yes you!
Her consecrated might
That's pledged to make the world Sc
cure
For justice, peace and right.

Some Pertinent Suggestions
From Valley City Fire Chief

The more prevalent use of soft coal
this winter VII require that greater
precautions than ever be taken by our
citizens to prevent fire. and if there
ever was a time when great attention
should be given to this matter it is
right now, when every poss'b waste
should be prevented.
Every person, but more especially
these using soft coal, should carefully
examine the condition Of the chimney
and stove pipe, as the same will get
dirty and burn out, and if they are
not IN perfect condit on. a fire VIII re,
suit. Valley City firemen have found
IN this city, when making inspections,
stove pipes rusted so badly that they
were AS thin as paper, and a hole
could be poked through the pipe with
ones finger.
Stove pipes and chimneys should be
cleaned frequently. and the poorer the
draft, the more frequent is clean ng
necessary.
No stove pipe should be within SIX
inches of any wood, and if that close
the wood should be protected by as
bestcs board.
1t is claimed that by mixing Ignite
and soft coal together. gas is form
ed, during the process of combustion.
that will clean the SCOT from pipes and
chimney. this would be an easy way
