THE PROCESS OF THOUGHT

But, after a sober second thought.

For in the distance the voice of VIII
says,
Go right after it,"
But judgment says, will, hold on
a bit;
You've rushed me now till I'm tired
Of it;
You've kept me travelling a narrow
road,
With little rest and a burdcnsomc
load.
Until now the light of hope is out
And I'm in the region of despair and
doubt
Without a candle external 10 me.
To show me the place that ought
to be.
My engine Of hope was rocked OF
the rock of doubt,
But faithful old reason is still hold
ing out:
He'll guide me to the field of light
Where black looks black
And white looks white;
Where green is green
And yellow is yellow;
Where a mans "a man
And a fellows a fellow
That field Of light we call the mind
Things compared with 1t you cannot
find.
Reason bitches to the engine of de-
concentration
And backs away from the object
that caused hesitation;
Then rest takes charge Of the tend
er Of thought,
And the nerve cells sleep that werl
quite overwrought--
Until consciousness comes along
with an awakening sensation,
Aud says. "Sleep. please get off -
right here ut this station
Then consciousness spreads equally

Until energy stirs us to eur depths
And says to US, DO somthing. you

Then by involuntary action created
by habit
The thing that interests conscious

seriousness can grab II:
Then consciousness opens the door
Of reason and says. My son

And mental reason, who is always
well-tO-do.

father Of new. calls upon
judgment TO show him

day;
But judgment says with much ado
you can work without me but
can't without you;
But without me, says judgment
you'd be no good
For nobody would know where your
thoughts really stood
The imps Of thought would carry
you away over the sea Of con
seriousness TO the brink of the
bay of forgetfulness;
There you would worry and strug-
gle in vain;
Untll some would call you crazy
And others would call you insane
All because YOU did not heed

FARMERS SUGAR RATION.

Owing to the extreme short
age Of sugar, it has been found
necessary to place all sugar US
ers in North Dakota on the same
basis and upon instructions
from Washington, a new regu-
lation has just been issued by
the Federal Food Administration
for the state, cutting down the
amount that may be sold to
farmers during the threshing
season, from three pounds per
person per month to two pounds
per person per month.
Heretofore, farmers have been
allowed to buy sugar for the
threshing season on the basis of
three pounds per person per
month.
Our sugar supply is very
much under our sugar require
ments," said Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Ladd, today. There
is not enough sugar for canning
purposes and it is feared that a
large amount of fruit may go to
waste in this state unless sugar
is available Immediately for
that purpose. This would in
volve the loss of a large amount
of food products and it has been
found necessary to reduce the
use of sugar for household pur-
poses to the lowest possible min
imum."

MONEY TRUST
TRIES BLUFF
WALL STREET FINANCIERS
CONSPIRE AGAINST FOOD
PRODUCTION.

In a circular letter addressed
to customers, a bank at Ken
mare, N. D., says: political
conditions in this state have had
a great deal to do with the finan-
cial situation, and eastern money
men have refused to loan an
other dollar until these condi-
tions become normal" In other
words, the money trust is going
to practice sabotage on the peo-
pie of North Dakota until these
people consent to anti-farmer
domination. The trust is entire
ly willing to interfere with the
vital food production of the al
lied nations for special political
purposes. We have laws against
sabotage and against conspiracy
to interfere with the war. These
laws do not exempt particular
classes, and the people should
watch to see whether our law
enforcement machinery will al
low men of millions to get away
with what small men are serv-
ing time for. Here is an acid
test of American democracy.
The situation is made more
clear by the fact that no finan-
cier in America can point to a
single move made by the govern
ment Of North Dakota that in
any way weakens the security
for North Dakota loans. The
feed and seed act, for instance,
by giving drought-stricken
farmers means to plant a crop,
greatly strengthened the mort
gage securities.
Use the War Finance Corpor-
alton.
Aside from securing relief
from this financial sabotage by
bringing the silk-hat anarchists
and seditionists within the law,
the federal government has a

special work Of which is to sup

new BRIDGE AT
LAKE METICOSHE
100000 WILL BE SPENT BY
COUNTY FOR BRIDGE
ACROSS NaARROWS.

The M. A. Adams Bridge Co.,
Of Minneapolis last week COM
menced work on the new steel
bridge across the narrows at
Lake Metigoshe and it is ex-
pected to have it completed by
the first Of October.
This is q steel truss bridge
with concrete abutments and
when complete will cost the
county the sum Of $4,0OO.OO.
In letting the contract to
the Adams Bridge Co., the plans
and specifications called for the
bridge proper to be completed
by September 1st, but owing to
q scarcity of help the Adams Co.
was unable to commence work
until last week and have assured
the local board that it will be
rushed to completion as fast as
possible.
The bridge will be 40 feet long
and 8 feet above high water
mark, which is IL feet above the
present water level. All boats
on the lake will be able to pass
under the span.
To farmers living east of Lake
Metigoshe who heretofore had to
drive around the lake in order to
reach market, this bridge will
prove Of great advantage as the
distance to the main road will
be shortened. To campers and
automobile parties visiting the
lake it will mean much as the
distance from the East Side ho-
tel to the West side across the
bridge will be only about a mile
while the distance around by
road is nearly six miles.
Bids for the grading Of the
approaches to the bridge will be
received next Saturday by the
commissioners, and should work
commence shortly thereafter the
bridge will be opened for traffic
this fall.

It is probable that the upstairs

PEKING. China, September 1S.-The
Siberian front has moved thousands of
miles westward overnight, owing to the
fact that communications have been
completely established as far as Irkutsk
This has resulted in the forces of the
enemy scattering. and it is anticipated
that as the advance continues the OPP
posing forces will resolve themselves
into on-combatant groups seeking am
nesty from the allies. The railway is
now in friendly hands from vladivostok
to Perm.
The Czecho-slovaks are pressing. to-
ward vologda in the expectation Of eff
fecting a junction with the allied troops
from Archangel. The Japanese have
assumed military control Of the lines,
but the staff states that it is only to
control the traffic and carry out the
military arrangements Of the Russians
and other allies and will not take 1t out
Of the hands Of the American railway

LOWERS BEEF MINIMUM.

Announcement is made by the United
States Food Administration that the
Navy has finally adopted the recommen-
dalton to reduce the minimum weight
limit on beef specifications until the
larger arrivals Of prime beef later in the
year.
This now brings the Navy in the line
of the Army and the allied armies, and
is expected to relax the pressure on high
specification beef and thus to ameliorate
high price levels In prime cattle at
present maintained.
In, the future no positive minimum
weight is to be specified in the purchase
Of beef, but the Army and Navy and al
lied authorities will mark the beef at
slaughter rails at selected slaughter
points from $50 pounds downward in
weight to a sufficient minimum to Sc
cure the desired supplies.

also that Colgate's is exclusively prescribed

This preference shown by dentists for

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY AT
THE FRONT. September 1s.-The
German high command has dealt
summarily with the ,disintegrating
conditions that were manifested dur
ing the British offensive of the past
four weeks or more. Strict orders
have been issued by the score calcu-
lated to prevent 2 recurrence of the
weaknesses remarked recently. At
the same time an effort has been made
to provide better. rations and cook
ing and thus raise the spirits Of the
troops. There is evidence that this
has been successful in part. for the
Germans on this front are generally
fighting better than at any previous
time since the attack began.
Vigorous Counter Attacks.
They are counter attacking with
great vigor and frequently along i'm
portant points in the line which the
British armies menace. This is the
case on the southern portion of the
British front north and south of the
River Cologne. 1t appears to be the
enemy's intention to retire on the
Hindenburg lineeas the main position,
but to hold an outpost line in the west
for the purpose of keeping st. Quen-
tin during the coming winter.
Further north from the Somme to
the Scarpe river the enemy is fight
