BASEBALL LOOKS

The delay in obtaining a decision

The worries of b magnates n

Putting is the most delicate opera

that putting is instructive and hat the
art is acquired by long service on the
greens. Accuracy and distance are a
matter of a good eye and a delicate
touch on the putter.
Chick Evans, national open and am

lance with his eye and lines up the
hole with the ball by placing the put

the ball lightly. The short follow

NONPARTIsTAN STATE TICKET

|ANNIANx AN 1kAANsb ~ 1xSxAIxs
This week the Nonpartisan league is
holding pow-wow in st. Paul. The big
chief, A. G. Townley, and his North
Dakota importations, together with a
handful Of misguided Minnesotans,
have hand picked the following can
didates for state Offices: For COVER
nor, Charles A. Lindbergh, Little Falls;
for lieutenant governor, Ralph r..
Crane, Grand Meadow; for state audi
tor, S. o. Tisovald, Granite Falls; for
secretary Of state, Henry Hoymes, Big
stone; for railroad and warehouse
commissioner, F. E. Tillquist, st. Paul;
for state treasurer, Tom J. Meighen,
Preston; for attorney general, Victor
Power, Hibbing.
The platform pledges devotion to the
country, sympathizes with the Russian
Bolsheviki, denounces Governor Burn
quist, declares for government and
state ownership Of almost everything,
old age pensions and about every other
fad and ism conceived in the brains of
the most visionary dreamer. It is a
bird of platform, but we shall take
occasion to refer to it more in detail
later.

From the number Of Zeppelins which
allied airplanes have demolished it is
obvious that the ausage-shaped
bomb choppers are not a success. In
the first place they are too easily OBJ
servable and, then again, too slow Of
progress. The little airplanes of the
allies swarm around them and, in nine
cases out of ten, shoot them full Of
holes. This invariably results in their
taking fire and collapse. Some de-
struction has been caused by bombs
from these gasbags, but the allies are
now putting them out of commission
almost as fast as they are built. With
submersibles the destruction is COM
paratively greater Germany is UNI
equal to the task of constructing
these hellish machines as fast as the
allies send them to Davy Jones' locker.
This is certainly encouraging to the
nations who are fighting the enemy
Of democracy-th the satanic kaiser.

NONPARTISAN LEGISLATION.

Here is one of the benefcent results
of half-baked legislation enacted by
the Nonpartisan legislature this win
ter in North Dakota-Mr. Townley's
alleged paradise. The Federal Farm
Loan bank of St. Paul has made loans
to farmers of that state aggregating
$6,5OO,O00. Under the federal law a
loan made by the Federal Farm Loan
bank is a first lien on the land. By
direction Of the Nonpartisan, leaders,
Townley etal., seed loan law was
enacted by the legislature in January.
The law contained proviso that if the
loan was not paid from the crop it was
made first lien on the land. Applica-
lions by farmers for loans from the
federal bank to the amount of several
millions of dollars are now pending,
but no more money can be loaned to
farmers of that state as long as seed
grain loans are given the preference
by making them first lien on the
land. Level-headed members Of the
North Dakota legislature protested in
vain, against the enactment of the
prior lien provision Of the seed grain
law. The farmers, as usual, are the
sufferers.

Of course Gov. Burnquist is the one
sole great patriot in Minnesota, and
stands in a position to belittle the
patriotism of the farmers. But where
was he that he couldn't hear his coun-
try's call during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war when he was of military age ?
Strange that some of our noisy pa
triots of today never let their en-
thusiasm cause them to risk their skin
when there was a call for them to
serve.-Milaca Times.
Considering that Governor Burn
quist was only IS years old at the
time of the Spanish-American war,
and that none but men who had at
tanned their majority, unless with
their parents consent, were permitted
to enlist, your shot is certainly a hot
and heavy one, Colonel Cravens! By
the way, Colonel, where were you at
that time?

"Wear little and help win the war"
is the latest slogan of the fair sex.
Silhouette dresses, say the fashion
journals, will be the proper caper,
with just enough camouhage to make
the translucence interesting. Dresses,
says this authority, will also be worn
shorter than last summer. It seems
to us, though, that woman would be
very liable to experience more or less
embarrassment when walking toward
the setting SUN attired as decreed by
the modistes, especially if a mean OBJ
serving man were walking behind her.
However, if the designers say this sort
of habiliment is necessary in order to
win the war we shall certainly enter
no objection. Let the war be won
even though women and men find it
necessary to attire themselves in un-
camoufaged mosquito netting.

Promoters of various schemes for
self-aggrandizement are taking advan-
tage of the war situation to flood news
paper offices with camoufaged adver-
Using circulars. Most of this ''litera-
ture" is ostensibly written from a
patriotic standpoint but, upon remov-
ing the veil, it is plainly seen that the
sole aim Of the schemers is to cajole
the public into investing money in air
bubbles. It these days Of war it is
an easy matter for swindlers, under
the guise Of patriotism, to work their
nefarious schemes on the public. Be-
ware Of the scoundrel who makes an
effort to play upon your sympathy in
the manner above described.

Another Minnesota newspaper boy

Another Minnesota newspaper boy
has joined the colors-Jay L. Putnam,
son of J. L. Putnam of the Granite
Falls Tribune, has enlisted in the navy.
He is chip off the old block and anx-
ious to get at the submarine terrors
over there. His father, Familiarity
known as "Old Put" is now taking life
easy and passing his remaining days
in southern climes, and the enlistment
of Jay, who conducted the business,
has made necessary the leasing Of the
Tribune. We hope the young man will
realize his ambition get his share Of
the bloody Huns-and return safely
to Granite Falls unscathed to resume
newspaper work.

The volunteer war organizations are
full Of women who go to the work
rooms not from patriotism but because
it is fashionable.-Pre Mac
Cracker of Vassar.
In this MacCracken seeks to cast an
aspersion upon Red Cross workers
which is not only undeserved but un-
true. Women who seek to be fashion
able do not gather in Red Cross work
rooms but at bridge parties, pink teas
and decollette balls. If MacCracken
has a wife she can doubtless set him
right in this matter. .

So great a surplus of meat has &C
cumulated in this country that the
government has decided to double it's
exports to the allies so that they may
build up large reserve stocks. This,
perhaps, will mean that, meat con-
sumption at home will be rehooverized
and that every day will be meatless
by and by. Verify, the procedure of
the food administration is mysterious
we conserve until we have too much
meat, then the restrictions are modified
and we still have large surplus on
hand. But then this hooverization is
still in it's infancy and it takes time to
determine how the various PROPOSE
lions will work out. Follow the recon-
mendations of the food department and
you will not go far wrong.

In public statement by John Mum
roe of Faribault, c. R. Davis, who has
been classed with others as a "kaiser
congressman" is mercilessly fayed for
the stand he has taken and, fgurative-
ly speaking, raked fore and aft.
Among other things, he says: t'When
he (Davis) received the German paid
kilograms and postal cards sent by
some of his constituents asking him to
support Kaiser Wilhelm he thought
the whole district was rising up and
shouting 'Hoch der kaiser I say to
hell with him and his kind" It is high
time that congress were freed of all
pro-Germans- the fact that men who
are playing into the hands Of the
kaiser are permitted to have their say
in making laws for the United States
is blot upon this country.

Judson La Moure, one of the rugged
old pioneers Of North Dakota, died in
Florida last week. He had been res
ident of that state and territory for
more than half a century and figured
prominently in it's business and polit-
ical affairs. There was not a particle
of the demagogue or mercenary in
Jud La Moure's make up, and in that
respect he differed from the motley
gang that are in the saddle in North
Dakota at the present time.

A while ago we were urged to alb
stain from eating lamb in order to
permit the animals to grow up and
produce wool. Now we are asked to
eat lamb instead of mutton so that
more and cheaper wool may be pro-
duced. Can you understand this :?
Well, you see the food administration
has just discovered that many lambs
would never prove a success as}wool
producers and do not pay the farmer
to feed them until they mature. So
sheep men will now Gull out the lambs
they know are not good wool pro-
ducers and keep the others. Not very
fenigmatical after all, is it?

While we do not presume to advise
the war department how to conduct it's
business, we are unable to conceive
why the, names Of soldiers killed and
wounded in action are permitted to be
printed and their addresses at the
same time barred. This procedure does
not of course preclude the possibility
of Germany finding out the number of
our casualties, but there is doubtless
a reason, otherwise the order would
not have been enforced. To the ordi-
nary individual the reason is, however,
problematic.

We still stick to our contention that
ecclesiasts of whatsoever denomina-
ton should not be exempted from the
operation of the draft law. There are
hundreds Of theological students who
have taken advantage Of a clause in
the law to escape serving their coun-
try-they are, in the true sense of the
word, slackers hiding behind the cloak
of religion. We do not mean by this
to impute that all ministers of the
gospel and theologians are slackers,
for large numbers of them have en-
listed for service in the field. In our
opinion, however, the class heretofore
named should be compelled to register
for the draft.
