FIRsT AID no sUGAR LOvERs.

For those Of us who find the sugar
rations hard to observe, we have fig
ured out a daily schedule which may
avert the tragedy Of coming to the end of
the month with the prospect of some sugar
less days ahead.
The monthly ration of two pounds per
person, means about one ounce day. That
ounce represents about two and one-half
level tablespoons, or one full, well rounded
tablespoon. IL you measure it with tea
spoon. six level teaspoons will constitute
your daily allowance.
If you prefer alternate days Of sugar
debauches and sugar famine, that's your
business, but in the cause of continued cor.
dial relations in the family and full justice
to all, we humbly offer the suggestion Of a
daily allowance of six level teaspoons a
person q day.

GERMANY's FRIENDS

1t has become easier to enumerate Ger.
many's friends than to attempt to list her
enemies. ...-.
Recently the state department gave out a
list of twenty-four nations which had de-
clared war on Germany or her allies, and
five others which had severed diplomatic
relations.
1t was announced that only fifteen ma
tions remained neutral.
Can you name them7
Here was our list: Spain, Switzerland,
Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, AT
ghanistan, Abyssinia, Venezuela, Para
quay, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Persia
and Argentina.
Out of this list, Spain is rapidly becom-
ing pro-Ally and Argentina is frankly so.
The European countries bordering on Ger
many are merely trying desperately to
maintain neutrality for reasons of safety.

THE CASE OF THE TIMES.

"What happened to The New York
Times?" is the question that is puzzling
newspaper readers, following the amazing
espousal Of the Austrian peace note by that
hitherto respected newspaper.
The Times probably is America s great
est newspaper, in a news gathering sense
purely. 1t has built up wonderful organ
ization in all parts Of the world and it's war
service is unsurpassed.
Hitherto it has been unwavering in its
support Of a war to victory, and has been
a consistent follower of President Wilson,
espousing his cause at the last election.
Yet The Times alone Of all the great
newspapers, warmly praised the Austrian
peace note and urged acceptance of the Of
fer Of peace parley. Remember the con-
ference was to be in secret.
Here is one paragraph from The Times
editorial of Monday which reached Fargo
yesterday:
Upon that we need not dwell. All the bel
ligerents desire the end Of the war. The
stricken world longs for peace. While
armistice precedes the proposed conference
we are justified in entertaining the hope the
belief, even, that fighting will cease this year
the fruit OF this "nonbnding" discussion
II
for for any of the Entente Allies to
abate war preparations now But reason and
humanity demand that the Austrian invita-
ton be accepted.
Reason and humanity" demand just
the opposite, but it is hardly necessary to
present any arguments on the point at this
juncture. The interesting question is:
''Have we a journalistic Lord Lansdowne
in America"2 Have we reectionary Tories
here, who so fear the spread of radical doc
trines as result Of the war, that they pre-
fer to compromise with Germany rather
than risk possible danger to the present So
cial systemY
Labor is whole heartedly for a war to
victory. Even the radical Socialistic ele-
ment is beginning to see that the German
military machine must be crushed. The
Times sounded virtually the only note of
dissension from the general chorus Of con
to Berlin" The Times can't, by any
stretch Of the imagination, be called radi-
cal. Why then it's change Of heart What
happened to The Times'9

d Does the foregoing letter convey to

I It should.
Arthur LeSueur was the chairman Of the
so-calIed legal committee of the Nonpar-
tisan caucus. Every bill intended for pre-

this committee and had to have its ap-
proval before it was submitted to the
house. Arthur LeSueur was the man who
sat at the head of the table and said

virtual dictator of the legislation for the
state of North Dakota.

WHO SHOULD KNOW BEsTq

Whereas, Senator Knute Nelson is, in fact
urged to remain in the senate of the United

water power and kindred interests desiring to
further exploit the public for private gain,
Therefore, be it resolved, by the volun-
teer Democrats in conference assembled, that
Democratic party in the state of Minnesota
and unite the progressive forces Of the state
in the support OF the Wilson administration,
it is their bounden duty to nominate a can
didate for the United States senate.
We thought it was President Wilson who
personally requested Senator Nelson to be
come candidate to succeed himself
But perhaps the Nonpartisan league
leaders-they are Democratic in Minnesota
you know, and Republican in North Da
kota-who are hungering for a political
victory in Minnesota at any cost, think
they know better than the President him
self, what is needed for 1.-THE support of the
Wilson administration
The spectacle Of gang of political car
pet baggers attacking man of the charac
ter, standing and accomplishments of Sena
tor Nelson should be all the campaign the
