PROUD OF OLD CLOCK TOWER
Citizens Of Halifax Cherish Building
Which Was Erected by the Fa-
Their Of Queen Victoria,

Halifax, n. S., the chief British mil
itary and naval station in America, is
one Of the most strongly fortified in the
world. The citadel, its chief fortress,
pronounced by engineers the most
formidable in America, occupies q COM
handing eminence overlooking the city
and harbor. The citadel was begun
about 1893, under the supervision of
the duke of Kent, father of Queen Vic
toria, and was completed in 1914. At
the time the fortification was begun
the duke was governor of Nova Sco-
tia and commander in chief of the
British forces in America. The cita-
del was named by him in honor of his
father, George III, king of Great Brit
ain.
The duke Of Kent left other remind
ers Of his residence in Halifax, among
them the quaint old clock tower and
clock at the foot of Garrison hill and
opposite to the main entrance of Fort
George. The clock in the tower, which
was brought from England, and is still.
keeping excellent time, was the gift
of George III.
Though quaint and somewhat crude
in appearance, and suffering by contrast
with the more modern structures in it's
vicinity, the old tower and clock are
still cherished with pride by the citi-
zens of Halifax as a reminder of the
residence among them Of one who
1yfn Of IN
land had he lived long enough.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program In
England. 1t Is true that the English-
man buys loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t Is poorer
bread, and the British government II
paying $500, 100000 year toward the
cost Of 1t.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain Il taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This II
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 3
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with q larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells tor
10 cents.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at ENORMOUS Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are beinf
asked to conserve their flocks anl
| herds In order to meet Europe's tire
| mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many year,
| afterward.
The United States food admins.
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain felds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One Of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.7e per 100 pounds; October, SIT. %;
November apd December, $16.O8; jan
larry, $14.4O. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle a
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,807 900 head Of
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
341, 900, a decrease of 1853 per cent
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
that the future problem
IF America lies largely in the produc-
ion Of meat producing animals and
larry products rather than in the pro-
iuction Of cereals for export when
.ha war will have ceased.

Wanted---A Stricter
Espionage Law

Judge George M. Bourquin in
the federal court at Helena has
been compelled by the letter of
the federal espionage law to dis
charge a man accused of the fol-
lowing:
Stating at various and sundry
times 10 various and sundry
people that he would flee to avoid
going to war; that Germany
would whip the United States,
and he hoped so, that the presi-
dent was Wall street tool using
the United States forces in the
war because he was the a British
tool; that the president was the
crookedest--ever president;that
he was the richest man in the I'M
tied States; that the president
brought us into the war by Brit
ish dictation; that Germany had
the right to sink ships and kill
Americans without warning, and
that the United States was only
fighting for Wall street million
aires and to protect Morgan's in
terests in England"
The judge stated that under
the espionage law terms there
was no claim of intent to promote
enemy success, no disloyalty or
mutiny caused among the military
or naval forces of America by the
mans words, no conviction of
obstructing the recruiting service
Of the United States.
Honest criticism is one thing
lying yillification of America is
another. Isn't it possible we need
a new espionage law?-Billings

WHO is TO BLAME?

Daily at the freight sheds in this city quantities of mer-
chandise are unloaded every day. This merchandise comes from
three or four big Chicago and Minneapolis houses and the quality
in many cases does not equal the goods sold over the counters in
any store of this city, remarks the WiListon Graphic. The price
when all is SAID and done, quality considered is higher than the
home trade prices. Yet these faraway stores are taking the pro-
fit from these consignments of goods and do not in the least help
to make our town any better. Who is to blame for this condition :?
Are the people to be blamed for this condition? Are the people
to be blamed for reading the advertising which is placed in their
homes by the dealers in the east? Can they be blamed for read
ing the nicely illustrated, we'll displayed advertising Of the mail
order houses when it is placed before them? At this time when
they wish to make every dollar count as much as possible, can we
blame them for reading carefully the advertising placed before
them in such a manner as to show that they will receive for the
money sent away? They are in the market for merchandise.
They want dependable, merchandise that at least has a fair sem
bIance of being within a year or two of the styles in vogue. They
are interested in buying what they deem the best value that their
dollars will afford. They do so just from reading advertisements.
They study the catalogs and compare the pictures in the ca,talog
the same. Why then, are they to be blamed for sending their
money to the place where they believe they can secure the latest
styles at prices the catalog house emphaticaly state care Low"
If the people will persist in reading just store news 0atalogs)
which are not favored with the spice and zest of home news, whose
fault is it? It is not that they like to read store news only, but it
is a fact they do read the store news because in altogether too
many cases the local news in the home paper does not have "store
news" along side of it. Whose fault? Who is to blame.

SPRINGTIME.

The erstwhile grave and reverend editor Of the Courier:News
under the spell of the approaching vernal season, tunes his Tyr
and thus bursts into song: ~ II ~ 81 p . r. -
aa. Now spring has touched the land Of the Dacotahs with
fingers light and lovely. A gentleness fills the air and hovers
along the fields. Clouds are high and white almost as Of June,
and the blue of the vault deepens, day by day The land is
filling with the strength Of the advancing sun. Long furrows
prairies are glad with sounds of the sowing. >t.a 4. ..&5H.
Somewhere in France the springtne comes as gently and
touches the land as tender1y. Spring, with that nameless
pathos in the air." with her beauty of beginning life, is there
as here. But the pathos there is more than nameess. In
France it's name is ruin, and it is written in desoation and
misery and death. .:.~ G:-#
In North Dakota soon all the green carpet will be spread,
and then will come the wonder Of the growing and the glory Of
the harvest. And overseas will go the cautious ships, deep
laden with the golden fruitage of the sun and rain, the soil
and air, OF North Dakota. Grown in these precious kernels
will go North Dakota's love of liberty, the deep desire-deep
as her soil and high as her clean sky-and the strong resolve
of her sons and daughters that all the world be free, the hope
that freedom for all forever shall not be long delayed. There
is even a dearer hope, that those lfe-giving cargoes will go
thru seas unvexed by submarines, to a land where peace has
returned to heal the wounds of war as s%pringtime heals the
wounds of winter.
1t is s%pringtime, blessed springtime, in the land of the
Dacotahs. May the marching years never find such another
IN the lands where strive the armies. May the pleasant land
of France be restored to all the peasantness that was before
the thunder of the guns and the terror of the sword.

T R OR TRAITOR?

Here in America we must realize that the war will not be
won on any front, but in our own hearts. This is a clash Of civil
cations. We must develop in our hearts a democratic purpose as
strong and as carefully directed as this autocratic purpose of Ger
many: We, too, must make soldiers out of our corn stalks, make
defenders of wool and cotton and silk, make every pound of coal
an American pound, and we must make bullets of our pennies.
1t we fail to develop this democratic purpose in the eyeto-eye
kneeto-knee, hand-tohand struggle on the front, which, after all,
only reflects the strength of our conviction, then our civilization
will 60 down.
-, TO fail to support our soldiers with ammunition, with food,
WITH clothing, with coal, will weaken them for the great conflict
at the great moment, and that. weakening will come from our
hearts at home. 1t will come if we are slow with our financial
support OF the men. The Liberty Loan furnishes us the only way
we nome stayers can practically show our purpose. Our patriotism
WILL Will be measured 3S1 ed by our performance toward the Liberty Loan.
our love of the freedom our fathers bought. It is at stake. The
autocratic purpose of Germany, iron-wiled and yet unbroken,
this hour of awful need.
These questions are not merely rhetoric they should be in
tensely personal and every man must search his own soul for the
Bell.
