In Chicago a three weeks drive for
ased clothing. to be sent to the desti-
ute Belgians, has just been completed.
Mr.. Hoover, head of the Belgian relief
commission, engaged the help Of the
Red Cross organization in making this
arive and It was put through with the
rigor and thoroughness that Chicago
aeyelops when its II Will" spirit is
lroused. Twenty-Five carloads Of cloth
ng was the amount asked Of this
branch of the drive and Mrs. Samuel
r. Chase was chosen to take charge of
It's collection as chairman Of the COM
nittee who put the drive through.
Besides the fact that the committee
got what 1t went after. this drive is in
eresting because Of many incidents
which show where Americans of all
classes stand In this matter Of caring
.or the unfortunate and the destitute
N this war. The committee secured q
hrge downtown storeroom, which was
vacant, and made newspaper and other
announcements inviting contributors
70 bring their bundles of used clothing
here. The bundles came by the auto
mobile load-where owners Of cars con-
ributed them for collecting the cloth
mg-to the single package brought in
BY people on their way to work who
deposited their contributions and went
IN to their tasks. Everything-from
iur coats and Paisley shawls to sun
,onnets Of ancient vintage-came In re-
| ponse to the call, but most Of the
clothing was practical and good.
On a bright day man came in and
took of very good overcoat, reveal
ing a pair of overalls beneath-and
handed over the coat. remarking that
he could spare It. Another interesting
contributor was an old lady whose. son
in the service had sent 50 to buy flow
srs for her for Easter. She contrib
nted these Sc to the Belgian relief as
the better way to use 1t. Men slipped
IN and left contributions Of money, re-
Asing to give their names.
To sort and pack all the clothing
required many workers. Some Of the
zig department stores sent over help.

tural and not . manufacturing state.
yet according to the United States
census for 1910 the average number of
wageearners increased In ten years
105 per cent The value Of goods pro-
duced Increased In the same time 205
per cent. The value Of farm products
increased during the same decade 211
per cent; the value Of live stock 155
per cent; the value of crops 234 per
cent. This percentage Of Increase was
not exceeded by any other state In the
Union. During the year 1913 this state
led every state In railroad construc-
tion."
"The tax on $1,000 Of actual value
In 1913 was 90 cents. The same year
In Minnesota the tax on $1,000 Of ac-
tuaI value ,was $2.12; Montana. $1.2O;
Idaho. S1.G1; Iowa. $2.45; Nebraska,
s1.25; Michigan. $2.5; Indiana. $4.O0."
1.-THE agricultural wealth Of North
Dakota exceeds the agricultural wealth
Of the six New England states COM
bined, and. with the exception Of Tex
as, exceeds In value any Of the 16
Southern states. all of which, except
Delaware and Florida. have more than
ton. The total wealth of the state In
creased from 1881, ,OO6, ,5O8 in 1890 to
S1,073.61G.54O in 1917. Under prohibi-
tion the state has multiplied Its wealth
nearly six times" f..,
"North Dakota has bank for every
767 Inhabitants. In Is years, from
1898 to 1913. the bank deposits In
creased more than 1000 per cent. No
state in the Union exceeded this per-
centage Of Increase. The per capita
bank deposit in 1913 was $1SS. In
1917, according to figures compiled by
the state commissioner Of agriculture
and labor. It was $23595. Has any IL
cense state nearly doubled Its per cap
ita bank deposit in four years? The
per capita wealth in 1917 was $2,S91.
Eighty per cent Of the people Of the
stnte own their homes"
"North Dakota has the largest num-
ber of consolidated schools Of any
state in the Union. These give the
children In rural districts the advan-
tage Of grade and high schools. An
amount exceeding $5.0O0O00 is ex-
pended on the common schools OF the
state every year. The state has a per,
petual endowment fund for schools
and Institutions Of $84.O00.OOO. North
Dakota boasts the lowest juvenile de
linqency rate Of any state"

LIQUOR DRINKING unpArR,oT,c.

The American Lumberman well puts
1t thus:
mo longer is the appeal for total
abstinence based upon emotional or
even upon moral grounds. Drinking
simply does not At in with modern
standards Of efficiency, and the indus
trial world is the most bitter opponent
that the liquor interests confront to-
day. Since the United States entered
into the war. the conviction also has
grown that In view of the necessity
for food conservation, as well as for
the highest measure Of production in
all lines, Indulgence in booze takes on
an unpatriotic aspect"

WHY He is FOR PROHIBITION.

Judge Henry, for Is years Judge of
the district court of Polk county, Iowa,
speaking concerning his attitude ON
prohibition, said:
.In the discharge Of my duty was
compelled to send my playmates OF
childhood days to penitentiaries, in
ebriate asylums and to the jails as Q
consequence Of saloons in Des Moines.
During my 15 years on the bench. l
spent four years in the criminal divi-
sion. sent more than a thousand men
to penitentiaries and jails for criminal
offenses committed by them. and l
know that 90 per cent Of these crimes
were caused by drunkenness originat-
ing in saloons.
II granted more than 1000 divorces,
and 1 know that 80 per cent Of them
were the consequence Of drunkenness
and the drunkenness was due to the
saloon. / have taken thousands of

DON'T BE A GUTTER

The nation has left your quo
ia of w. S. S. to your conscience,
to your appreciation of the in
spring heroism of Americas
valient soldiers and those of our
Allies.
The graves on millions of SOL
who,in their sublime and unfal-
tering devotation to humanity,
offered their lives for your lib
erty, mutely tell you what your
share of w. S. S. must be. Prec-
ious American lives have been
sacrificed and blood split; thous-
ands of American youths suf-
fered from fearful wounds and
~hardships. And now, to insure
the fruits of their costly victor
les, we are asked to lend money
to the government.
It will require huge sums of
money to maintain our armed
forces until their work is done,
until we know that our heroic
dead have not died in vain; and
it will require further huge sums
to bring back our SPLENDID ar
mics whose valor and strength
crumpled to the dust the armed
forces of autocracy.
Let us express our thanks,
prove our appreciation, and de-
monstrate our sincerity by re-
spending without stint to the
governments appeal for funds
to finish Americas great task.
Don't be a GUTTER buy your
quota of w. S. S. For the honor
of our country.

henceforth regular shooting
night for each week will be

The range here is Is yard and
% calibre rifles are used. The

In occupied houses. Poisons may be
effectively used in barns, stables,
sheds, cribs and other outbuildings.
caution.-In the United States there
are few laws which prohibit the laying
Of poisons on lands owned or con-
trolled by the %poisoner. Hence it is
all the more necessary to exercise ex-
IRENE caution to prevent accidents. In
several states notice Of intention to lay
poison must be given to persons living
in the neighborhood. Poison for rats
should never be placed in open or I'M
sheltered places. This applies partic-
ularly to strychnine or arsenic on
meat. Packages containing poisons
should always bear a warning label
and should not be kept where children
might reach them.
Barium carbonate.-One Of the
cheapest and most effective poisons for
rats and mice is barlum carbonate.
This mineral has the advantage of be.
ing without taste or smell. It has q
corrosive action on the mucous lining
of the stomach and is dangerous to
larger animals If taken in sufficient
quantity.
Barium carbonate may be fed in the
form of dough composed Of four Parts
Of meal or flour and one part Of the
mineral. A more convenient bait is
ordinary oatmeal with about one-eighth
of it's bulk of the mineral, mixed with
water into a stiff dough. A third plan
is to spread the barium carbonate upon
fish, toasted bread (moistened), or or
binary bread and butter.
strychnIne.- Sfrychnine is too rapid
in action to make it's use for rats desir
able in houses, but elsewhere it may be
employed effectively. Strychnia sui.
plate is the best form to use. The
dry crystals may be inserted in small
pieces of raw meat, vienna sausage or
toasted cheese, and these placed in
rat runs or burrows; or oatmeal may
be moistened with a strychnine siruT
and small quantities laid in the same
way.
Strychnine strip is prepared as fol
lows: Dissolve a half ounce of strych-
MIA sulphate in a pint of boiling water j;
add a pint of thick sugar strip and stl
thoroughly.
Arsenic.-Arsenic is probably the
most popular of the rat poisons, owing
to it's cheapness, yet u experiments
prove that, measured by the results oh.
tanned, arsenic is dearer than strych'
nine. Besides, arsenic is extremely
