A Column Devoted To The Task OF Keep

The Devils Lake Journal refers to the Hog

something disgracefu Here is the reference:
With the odor Of the Hog Island ship
building scandal still strong in the nostrils
of the people, fresh revelations have
to light, showing that the aeroplane
struction program has been seriously de-
layed by the unconscionable greed Of certain
profteering interests.
What is this If it isn't treason? There
seems to be plain proof that certain indi-
viduals actuated solely by a desire for per-
sonal gain have held up prepaTa-
tons. This means prolonging the with
the consequent sacrifice Of many Of the lives
of our young men. It is treason in the worst
form and the men responsible should face a
firing squad.

No appeal could be more direct than the

used as first aid dressings. Fargo has
failed to contribute the number she was
called upon to send, and a special effort
is being made tomorrow to complete the
quota II is as if the soldiers were hold
ing up their wounds to be dressed.
Hon. Leslie N. Shaw, in attacking the
Nonpartisan league, said that Russia is
in almost as bad condition as North Da-
kota"
France has acquired the habit of execut-
ing preachers of sedition. In North Da-
kota the governor of the state becomes
the sponsor and associate of one man con-
victed of disloyal talk.
There is a notable decline in the list of
those persons who think they are making
a real war sacrifice when the waitress takes
one piece Of sugar from bowl and doles

Gas Kills Greenhouse Pests.

Hydrocyanic-acid gas is the best
weapon to use against insects infesting
the foliage of ornamental plants in
greenhouses. 1t is cheaper and more
effective than any other means and 1t
is successful against nearly all in
sects. 1t is explained in a new publ
cation Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, "Fumigation Of
Ornamental Greenhouse Plants With
HydrOcyanic-Acid Cas-" that in green
houses containing a large variety Of
plants slight injury may result to the
tender growths Of some plants even
when the fumigation is properly dore.
This injury is not permanent, how
ever. and such plants will show new
vigorous growth in a short time. In
fact, the growth of many plants Is
stimulated by this gas. Cyanide Is a
very poisonous substance and extreme
care must be used in its handling.

WaS IN Slgnt. Alone with McGll no
became quiet. Something told him
that McGill had come as friend that
night when he and the big Dane stood
shoulder to shoulder In the cage that
had been built for a slaughter pen.
Away down In his brute heart he held
McGill apart from other men. He had
no desire to harm him. He tolerated
him, but showed none of the growing
affection Of the huge Dane. 1t was
this fact that puzzled McGill.. He had
never before known a dog that he
could not make love him.
Today he placed the tallow and bran
before Kazan, and the smile in his
face gave way to a look of perplexity.
Kazan's lips had drawn suddenly back.
A fierce snarl rolled deep in his throat.
The hair along his spine stood up. His
muscles twitched. Instinctively the
professor turned. Sandy McTrigger
had come up quietly behind him. His
brutal face wore q grin as he looked
at Kazan. -.... u
"It's fool job-tryin' to make
friends with him." he said. Then he
added, with sudden Interested CLEAN

"And you're going up to Fond du

The little professor laughed softly.
"Why?" he asked. 1--WE been

September. and each night brought

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Last Of McTrigqer.


Sixty miles farther north kazan
lay at the end of his fine steel chain,
watching little Professor McGill mix
ing a pail Of tallow and bran. A
dozen yards from him lay the big
Dane. his huge jaws drooling in antici-
patton of the unusual feast which Nc
Gill was preparing. He showed signs
Of pleasure when McGill approached
him with a quart of the mixture, and
he gulped 1t between his huge jaws.
The little man with the cold blue eyes
and the grny-blond hair stroked his
back without fear. His attitude was
different when he turned to Kazan.
His movements were filled with eau
ton, and yet his eyes and his lips
were smiling, and he gave the wolf
dog no evidence of his fear, IL 1t could
be called fear.
The little professor. who was up In
the north country for the Smithsonian
Institution, had spent n third Of his
life among dogs. He loved Them and
understood them. He had written a

that he had bought Kazan and the big
Dane on the night when Sandy Nc
Trigger and his partner had tried to
get them to fight. to the death in the
Red Gold City saloon. The refusal Of
the two splendid beasts to kill each
other for the pleasure Of the three
hundred men who had assembled to
witness the fight delighted him. He
had already planned n paper on the
incident. Sandy had told him the story
of Knzan's capture, and Of his wild
: mate, Gray Wolf, and the professor
hnd asked him a thousand questions.
But each day Kazan puzzled him
more. No amount of kindness on his
part could bring o responsive CLEAN in
Knzan's eyes. Not once did Kazan
signify q Willingness to become friends.
And yet he did not snnrl at McGill. or
snap 1t his hands when they came
within reach. Quite frequently Sandy

That night she slept again where
kazan had lain, and three timea she
called for him without answer. A
heavy dew fell. and 1t .drenched the
last vestige of her mates scent out
of the sand. But still through the
day that followed, and the day that
followed that. blind Gray Wolf clung
to the narrow rim of white sand. On
the fourth day her hunger reached a
point where she gnawed the bark from
willow bushes. 1t was on this day
that she made a discovery. She was
drinking, when her sensitive nose
touched something In the waters edge
that was smooth. and bore faint odor
of flesh. 1t was one Of the big north
ern river clams- She paved it ashore,
shifting ut the hard shell. Then she
crunched it between her teeth. She
had never tasted sweeter meat than
that which she found inside, and she
began hunting for other clans. She
found many Of them. and ate until she
was no longer hungry. For three days
more she remained on the bar. ~
And then, one night, rne call came
to her. 1t set her quivering with a
strange new excitement-some.hi
that may have been new hope, and
h the moonlight she trotted nervousiy
up and down the shining strip of sand,
facing now the north, and now the
south, and then the east and the west

the soft wind of the night she was
trying to locate the whispering lure
Of wonderful voice. And whatever
it was that came to her came from
out Of the south and east. or there

The call did not come from their
old windfall home In the swamp. 1t
came from beyond that. and in flash
ing vision there rose through her blind
ness a picture Of the towering Sun
Rock, of the winding trail that led
to 1t, and the cabin on the plain. 1t
was there that blindness had come to
her 1t was there that day had ended.
and eternal night had begun. And
1t was there that she had mothered
her, first-born. Nature had registered
these things SO that they could never
be wiped out Of her memory, and when
the call came it was from the sunlit
world where she had last known light
and life and had last seen the moon
and the stars In the blue night of the
skies.
And to that call she responded, leav.
ing the river and Its food behind her
straight out into the face of darkness
and starvation, no longer fearing death
or the emptiness Of the world she
could not see; for ahead Of her, two
hundred miles away. she could see the
Sun Rock. the winding trail, the nest
of her first-born between the two big
rocks-and kazan!

The school lunch has always had its

school lunch Is a hurriedly arranged
item among the mothers early morn

to give this meal the attention 1t de-

Ing child who eats one of his meals
away from home each school day. In
the opinion of the food experts of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. skimping meals for the young
sters Is not a necessary war measure
and Is inadvisable. The food special
lists have discussed in a publication of
the department of agriculture the
foods that should make up the school
lunch. the preparation and packing of
lunches, and serving lunches partly or
wholly prepared at schools. Some sug-

Number Of Foods Carried.
The number of foods that can be
easily carried has been enlarged of
late by the possibility of using paraffin
paper and parchment paper. in which
moist foods can be wrapped so as to
prevent them from sticking to other
foods. Paper cups, jelly glasses and
SO on, are also a help, for in them
sliced raw fruits, stewed fruits, Gus
tards, cottage cheese and other half
solid foods can be carried.
The quality Of the bread used In the
basket lunch Is especially important
because 1t is commonly served in the
form Of sandwiches and is, therefore,
itself but also as a means of keeping
other much-needed foods in good and
appetizing. condition, or of serving
them In attractive ways.
Variety in breads, too, Is more i'm
portant at this than at other meals
because Of the danger of .monotony
Wheat bread. whole-wheat bread, corn,
rye, or oatmeal breads; nut. raisin,

Rolls followed out can be made to
hold large amount of sandwich fill
ing, which Is an advantage ut times.
Advantage Of Boxes.
Many kinds of lunch boxes, pals,
and baskets are now on the market.
The chief advantage Of most boxes and
pals is that they are made of metal
and can. therefore, be easily cleaned
and scalded to keep them in safe con-
dition. Some boxes have the advan-
tage over pals that they can be folded
when empty and strapped with the
school books Baskets are ventilated
and for this reason suitable for carry
ing moist foods which are likely to
spoil. There II no reason, however,
why small holes cannot be punched in
