LOOKING AHEAD.

Detroit grabbed prosperity and the
position as fourth city from the au-
tomobile industry.
What city is going to profit from
the airplane industry?
Why shouldn't it be Fargo in a
measure at least?
The statement that the next great
new industry will be the manufacture
of the aiTplane, has become trite and
almost bromide in the abstract.
But to get down to the concrete,
the Aero Club Of America is organ
izing an international commission
to study civil aeronautics, with a
view to developing the uses of the
airplane after the war. The demand
for airplanes for war service is so
Unsuitable, that the development of
it's commercial uses has been at a
standstill for three years. Yet the
science Of aeronautics has made
giant strides. The other day an
Italian flew from Italy to England.
Another Italian has just assembled to
1900 feet, carrying twelve pas
sengers in an American made ma
chine. The new American motor has
been developed.
Before the war is ended, machines
carrying twenty-five or even fifty
passengers will create no surprise.
They will travel from 100 to $50
miles an hour.
Even the present generation can
remember when a ride in an auto
mobile was considered a hazardous
undertaking. Already the airplane,
for straightaway flights, is scarcely
more hazardous than the automo-
bile was then. Automatic stabilizers,
and new safety appliances are rapid
" reducing the risks. The era of air
transportation is advancing with
swift strides.
Detroit became the center OF the
automobile business for no other
reason than that 1t got the start on
Us competitors. Factories naturally
gravitated there. They might as well
have gravitated to Buffalo, or Cleve-
land, Of better to Pittsburgh or Du-
luth where the raw material was al
hand.
But they went to Detroit, and De-
troit jumped from city Of 100000
to more than a million in q few
short years.
Fargo got only the crumbs from

The Chief Task

From the New Republic: Just now
the most important war work our
government has on hand is not
training the new levies nor yet build
ing aeroplanes of ships. but MOBILIZE
ing the financial resources of the
country for the new loan.
For months to come our chief war
obligation will continue to be, as in
the past months, the production and
forwarding Of supplies and munitions
for our Allies and for our own men
at the front or in training camps at
home. We must fight with goods, and
these will be forthcoming in the
measure that our government and
our Allies have means to pay for
them.
Such means the loan is designed to
provide. If 1t succeeds brilliantly, we
shall be performing our. present part
in the war well, If it is a partial fail
ure, we shall in effect have fed from
our entertainments. The loan will
succeed IL ii enIists the support of all
classes; not otherwise. The farmers
and the Industrial laborer must come
to its support as well as the men of
wealth. And i'm supporting the. loan
the farmer and laborer will not only
be meeting their patriotic obliga-
tions; they will also be helping to
maintain their own prosperity. For
practically the whole Of the pro-
ceeds of the loan will be expended on
the products of American farms, fac
tories and the mines.

Here's a letter that came this week
from Harold Johnson, of the seventh
grade of one Of the Fargo schools:
Dear Editor: You may think
me bold. but I am sending you a
poem that / made today in
school. ! read your paper every
day end ! like your patriotic
column very much. am not
more than fourteen yet, but l
think 1t would be fun to go to
war;.
No, Harold, it isn't fun to go to
war. War is a horrible, bloodthirsty.
terrible sin, but there are some
things that make it right. II a man
struck your small sister, you would
night him no matter how big he was.
II you had a bully in your school,
you would fight him rather than cry
and run every time he came near
you. There are buliies among ma
tons as well as among schoolboys.
Germany is a bully. We are fighting
her for that reason. 1t isn't fun, but
we've got to- do it.
We're publishing your verses,
which express your. idea very well,
hut before you write any more, go to
the library and get out the encyclo-
pedia. Look up Rhyme" or Rhine"
and then Metre, and learn all you
can about them from what you read.
Then ask your teacher to explain
anything you don't understand.
Anything that is worth doing. is
worth doing right.
Here are the verses:
Mother, may l go
And join the army?
Mother, have I got any show,
Or DO you think they'll bar me
From getting in the army
Because l am only seventeen?
Mother, don't object,
I've got to go to war!
If they only don't reject
Me for not enlisting long before,
Or for being a coward to the core
Because l am only seventeen?
Mother, you look so pale.
Don't you wish your boy to be
A fearless soldier, hearty and hale?
Mother. pray for me.
That they will send me across the
sea,
Although I am only seventeen!
For some reason, the mail this
week contains chiefly poetry.

THE DAYS OF REAL SPORT.

Yes. but watch Cicotte NOW them

"Cicotte"? What troops did
Cicotte demand?" "Pershing, Haig,
Petain. Cadorna." Never heard of
Cicotte."
Then a CLEAN Of remembrance. Mr..
Cicotte is one of the clever young
athletes under Mr.. Comiskey's ban
ner. and the profitable annual debate
that formerly stood business on its
ear for ten delirious autumn days, is
about to begin again.
Two years ago any man who
couldn't name every member of both
teams. reel off their batting and field
averages. and compare them man for
man. wasn't quite intelligent.
Today it was necessary to consult
the sporting editor to learn that Mr.
McGraw's hopes rested chiefly on
Sallee, Benton. Schupp and Perritt,
while Mr.. Comiskey figures that
Messrs. Faber. Cicotte and Russell
will bring glory and lucre to the
West Side park, or is it the South
Side?
1t seems a far cry to the days in
the bleachers with bag of peanuts.

but perhaps those days will come
again. And perhaps. next week, when
