Too Million rs
Asked For State

Bismarck. N. D., July 31.--North
Dakota will require at least $4,000
600 for the relief Of farmers who
lost their crops by drought, in the
opinion Of Governor lynn J. Frazier,
who said today that John N. Hagan,
commissioner Of agriculture Of
North Dakota. would be in Wash
ington next Monday to ask that
such apportionment be made to
North Dakota from the five million
dollar fund set apart by President
Wilson to aid farmers.
Sat least two million dollars Of
this fund should be set aaside for
North Dakota" said Commissioner
Hagan today, "if the government,
intends to care for the needs OF the
farmers in the stricken districts.
Last year we loaned nearly three
million dollars on seed and feed
bonds, but the needs Of 1913 will not
be so great, according to my esti-
mates. ~, ..t
"The maximum loan Of $3.50 on
seed and feed bonds. under the state
law, seems to be too late. The av-
erage farm in North Dakota is OF
about 272 acres; the average cult
waited farm contains 206 acres, and
anyone can readily see that a far
mer will have but little chance to
get through q hard year and secure
seed and deed for for a new crop on
$3.50. But now that the government
has made a start, it is probable that
the appropriation will be increased
as it is found necessary"

POLITICS IN MINNESOTA.

Politics observers in Minnesota are pre-
dieting that the third candidate in the race
for the governorship will not materialize.
The demand for the third candidate
comes entirely from the Nonpartisan
league which seeks another opportunity to
get into the race, hoping to win in three
cornered contest.
But the Nonpartisan league would much
prefer to disguise it's candidate as labor
candidate. 1t would use the labor unions
as a blind.
Such step would be in direct conflict
with the policy long adhered to by the ma
tional federation. The federation has con-
sistently opposed all efforts to organize
separate labor party. It has maintained
that the best results could be obtained by
supporting labor's friends in the older par
ties and Furnishing labor's enemies If the
Minnesota federation submits to the plan
of pulling Nonpartisan political chestnuts
out Of the fire, it will make the mistake
that the national labor leaders have care
fully avoided.

What Fighting Fit Means
If You Think You're Soldier, See If You Can
Pass The Test.
Samuel HOPKINS Adams in Golfers Weekly.

Samuel Hopkins Adams in Golfers Weekly.
There is still a somewhat prevalent opinion
that all an American OF suitable age and physique
needs to do to become soldier is to put on
uniform and get a gun Probably you, Mr.
Paterfamilias, believe that Of your boy. WE'LL
let us inquire into the matter a little.
Could your young hopeful get up tomorrow
morning and tramp Is miles over varie8ated
country and come back fit to do a stint OF
chores? If he could, he's an exceptional youth
But assume that he could. Could he get up on
the following morning, springy and fit, and do
the same thing over again? A bit doubtful about
that are you? Well, that's not all, by any means
Could he do that two days of foot slogging under
the weight Of a pack and equipment weighing 6V
pounds? He could not; not unless he's a. freak
or a trained soldier
Yet recently 10000 men went out Of the can
Torment which visited in heavy marching order,
tramped nearer 20 miles than 10, covered the
same ground on the following day, and got back
with only l per cent of OBJECTIONS, all Of which
rejoined the column before the end Of the march!
One regiment had only one man drop out i'll tho
two days How would your young amateur
measure up to that standard, Mr. Paterfamilias?
And yet this was only a halfway station on the
route to final condition. For later those same
men may be called upon to march not IS or 20,
but 80 miles q day and to fight on top of 1t all
Such is the test OF a professional war. For
this our men are to be made, in every detail
which skill untiring effort and infinite care can
cover, fighting fit.

THE REASON FOR THE RAIDS.

"Successful raids were carried out last
night, and we captured few prisoners
and machine guns" reads the British
statement day after day.
Such raids seem of trifling Importance
in comparison with the news from the
Marine salient these days, but on the con-
trary they are evidence that the British
are very much on the job. Against the
British are massed virtually all Of the
German reserves not engaged in the pres
ent battle. They were prepared for a ire
mendous drive at the channel ports when
the Grown Prince started his offensive
The failure of the Grown Prince disrupted
the plans. Several divisions of Prince
Rupprechts troops have been sent to the
aid Of the Crown Prince and the British
released an equal number Of divisions to
aid the French and Americans.
How do the Allies know these facts?
From these same "unimportant" trench
raids. From the prisoners taken, the Brit
ish are able to keep themselves informed Of
the forces the enemy has on the Flanders
front. The repeated raids are the best evil
dence needed that when the great drive
comes, if it does come now, the British will
be prepared to meet it as they have met its
predecessors.

| The monograph in the Trenches

Herbert c. Ridout in the Continental Edition of
The London Mall
Before the war a monograph was looked upon
generally as one Of two things-t was either
toy unworthy of serious attention or II was an
intolerable nuisance
But when war broke out the photograph began
to find a new place in world affairs. Almost one
of the first things the British Red Cross society
did when it had settled into its stride was to
order a hundred cabinet Photographs and a
thousand records to be sent to base hospitals in
France. That prompt recognition OF the
fact that music would play a part in creating q
cheerful atmosphere where it was most neces-
Every Y. M C. A. hut, every canteen and every
hospital at the front has its photograph and
repertory Of records that is repeated many times
a day. o.
Today the photograph at the front is wonder
box Of music, an inexhaustible source Of good
cheer and melody. Not merely that, but any
padre will tell you that it is one Of the greatest
influences for good that can be found. It gives
the BOYS the music Of home--never mind whether
It be standard ballad or overture, or the latest
comic song 1t is sunshine music and brings
with it thoughts Of home.
In the officers mess of regiment that has
won many laurels there is q standing rule that
any officer going on leave must bring back with
him at least a dozen records of the songs from
the current London shows" They are paid for
out OF the mess funds.
Nor do monographs stay well behind the lines.
One of them in the possession of an r. f. A.
battery has real war service record; 1t went

Puisieux to Ervilliers during his retreat in 1917

year, at Bullecourt, through the Messnes push,

TO LIVE LONGER,


When the average person suffers
from indigestion the stomach is
blamed. For the majority OF people
forget that the mouth and teeth are
important parts Of the digestive ap-
paratus. Swallowing food improper
ly masticated, however may slowly
but will none the less surely lead to
imperfect digestion, malassimilation
and irritation and finally degenera-
ton Of blood vessels and other in
teInal organs.
In short, an effective chewing ap-
paratus is a. pretty big factor in
longevity. It's essential If you want
to live longer than the average per-
son who doesn't think about his
teeth until they hurt.
Decayng or Otherwise diseased
teeth always mean the constant alb
sorption of dangerous organisms and
poisons into the system.
Nowadays in attempting to treat
chronic bodily ailments the condition
of the teeth is the first thing instead
OF the last thing thought Of by the
physician. For instance the re-
moval of disclosed tonsils or dis
eased glands of the neck is bound to
give disappointing results If dis"
eased teeth are left in the mouth.
So the medical or surgical treatment
of diseases of the digestive tract are
doomed to failure If the direct or in
direct cause is the mouth. The only
chana Of relieving a rheumatic"
joint and preventing permanent dis
ability may lie in the removal Of
what probably amounts to a "bac-
terra factory under a dead tooth.
To prevent decayed teeth, how
ever, one must start early in life.
The trouble usually begins with the
first teeth, from which the perma-
nent teeth are infected. Frequently
on this account, the first permanent
molar is already diseased by the
time of its eruption. Thus the pres
ervatton If the permanent teeth
means primarily the maintenance OF
a clean, healthy condition Of the first
teeth.

WE LOVE IT FOR ITS ENEMIES.

Congratulations to the Salvation Army
on the enemies it has made.
It is announced that the Salvation Army
has been completely wiped out in Germany
and Austria.
The Kaiser issued an order putting the
organization out of existence in the Central
Empires, because it was organized in Eng
land and because Salvationists from nearly
every country in the world were right up
behind the trenches fighting for the Allies.
All the Salvation Army orphanages, rescue
homes, hospitals and headquarters in Ger
many and Austria have been confiscated.
This great work Of mercy which has
been going on in Germany for SO years, is
abolished overnight by one order issued by
a power-nad ruler.
The Salvation Army will not be the chief
sufferer from this order, but the German
people themselves. If we needed any fur.
ther reason for taking the Army to
our hearts in America, this order provides

AFTER-WAR PROBLEMS
ARE mainly ECONOMIC

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-ln his
address to congress on his visit to
Europe, President Wilson indicated
that our reconstruction problems
are more of an economic nature than
legislative, and that while legislative
action may be necessary in some
cases, the general welfare would be
served best by permitting the people
themselves to adjust their affairs
without dictation.
He favored the resumption of pub
lie works, equal suffrage for women
and the application of the plan OF

urges the reclamation of unused and
swamp lands by the government,
which would assist soldiers and other
citizens in a back-to-the-land move

Regarding the many reconstruction
plans that have been urged and the
necessity for legislation, the Presi-
dent said:
$50 far as our domestic affairs are
concerned the problem Of our return
to peace is a problem of economic
and industrial readjustment. That
problem is less serious for us than
it may turn out to be for the nations
which have suffered the disarrange-
ments and the losses Of war longer
than we. Our people, moreover, do
not wait to be coached and led.
They know their own busin SIS, are
quick and resourceful at every read
justment, definite in purpose and
self-reliant in action.
"Any leading strings we might seek
to put them in would speedily be-
come hopelessly tangled because they
would pay no attention to them
and go their own way. AL that
we can do as their legislative and
executive servants is to mediate the
process of change here, there, and
elsewhere as we may. have heard
much counsel as to the plans that
should be formed and personally con-
