THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

der as thing against which We
could not defend ourselves.
We should have allowed this new
horror to become part of all future
wars, and have been responsible for
its incorporation into international
law.
We should have proved that be-
cause the fire which burns up our
zon, we would submit to the kindling
OF 1t.
We might have accepted the sew
enty cents for wheat and the six cents
for cotton, but we could not have
done 1t merely because we were
commanded to do it. BY SO doing
we should have accepted degrade
ton. We should have begun, after
winning our freedom In our own
revolution and establishing union
on the foundation OF liberty In the
blood and tears of our war between
the states, to knuckle under to autoc-
racy! We should have basely yielded
up our birthright as Americans.
Such a thought is intolerable. Peace
at such price would not be peace,
but only preparation for future
revolt against subiugation. Better
any sort Of war; better war forever.
that that.
Whenever the time comes for new
sacrifices, let us remember that we
fight, not for our liberties tomorrow,
or next year or twenty years from
now, but for our freedom today Not
for the right to live in the future, but
for the right to make a living this
year.
German oppression had begun to
pinch US before We entered the war.
II we had not declared war, but had
accepted the conditions of life ordered
for us by the Kaiser. we should today
be a poverty-stricken people. Our
factories would be shut down, our
workmen unemployed, our people
starving, our farmers ruined by the
poverty of those for whose consump-
ton they grow their crops. There is
loss ami sacrifice in the war but
there would have been far more Of
loss and sacrifice in accepting the
German terms. We should have lost
more In money than we have spent
in the war, but we should have lost
something far more precious. We
] should have lost our souls.

Making Syrup From Sugar Beets

Plant sugar beets and make your
own syrup. A 100 foot row will
make syrup enough to last the ordi-
nary family through the season. Dr..
Carter Tobey has furnished us the
following recipe for syrup making
from beets.
Soak and wash clean Slice thin
and boil until soft, then place in a
sack to drain. Boil the resultant
fluid until as thick as desided, STIR

BREAKS THE RECORD

December was the best month that
Pendlcton has ever had in the circu-
lation of books from the county liz
brary. The loan desk business ann
ounted to 1856 volumes as against
22O9 of December last year. This is
gain of 1,156 books or So per cent.
The nearest to this record was in
March, 1917 when the Pendleton CT.
culation was 3069.
Added to 1865 books read in Pen
dleton were 2S72 circulated from the
branch libraries making a total of s.
23T. This is unusually good for the
Christmas month when so many other
interests take up time and thought.
One hundred and eighty three new
readers also registered at the central
library and ninety-eight at the
branches during December, making
a total of 2S1 new readers. A large
proportion of the new readers are new
residents who find the library the
first welcoming place in the city with
its open doors and democratic atnos-

ABOUT INDOOR SPORTS

greatest indoor game ever invented.
Persons of either sex ana of any age
from six to ninety may engage I'm il

played at any hour of the day and in
any season of the year; bur it is cs.
pecially appropriate for cold and
stormy evenings
Tho player first removes his shoes
and puts on n pair of loose slippers
Hc then places a comfortable chair
two feet and eight inches due south
of a good lamp NeXt-if a gentle
mamie places a footstool or
smaller chair two feet anc three inch
cs due east of the first chair. He then
places himself in tn larger chair and
clcvatcs his feet to the smaller one
or the footstool as thejCsse may be.
He then takes up a good look. settles
himself in the chair, ana informs
whatever members of his household
may be present that ANYBODY who
speaks to him or othcrwHHc disturbs
him before eleven o'clock will be hi,
over the bean. Lady players and
children should vary the above rules
in detail, according to taste and the
dictates Of their elders. The joy of
this game will be sensibly enhanced by
a nice opeu-gratc fire located any

FOUNDATIONS OF A RUDE.

Anent the cry of the Advocate that
the correspondents who have failed to
sign their names are towards, we
would like to inform Mr.. Johnson that
the individual who has led the attack
upon the Nonpartisan league in North
Dakota, Tom Parker Junken, has re-
Gently been arrested in Minnesota be-
cause Of his failure to sign some Of
his anti-league attacks. And this
this same Junkin is the party whose
vicious lies, which have appeared in
the Grand Forks Herald, are being
used by the small bore opposition to
the league. Incidentally it might be
remarked that Mr.. johnson and his
Teigen clique are not exempt in this
case either.
The so-called railroad 2-cent fare
bill which has been recently referred
to by the P. o. G. Advocate, was
shown up by the Courant at the time
of it's defeat as a fake.
The Nonpartisan officials increased
the railroad taxes as follows: In 1916
the Northern Pacific Railway Co. was
taxed $16,132,999; in 1917, under Non
partisan rule, that company was taxed
$24,388,133 in 1915 the Great North
ern Ry. Co. was taxed $20,l52, 048;
in 1917 that firm was taxed $28,317,-
Eat; in 1916 the 500 Ry. Co was tax
ed $40, 759, Jas; in 1917 they were tax
ed $12,481,830; in 1916 the Milwau-
kee Ry. Co. was taxed $3,494,698; in
1917 they were taxed $4,277,058. Thus
do we see the railroads being taxed
$18,925,380 more by Nonpartisan Of
ficers than they were taxed by the
old bunch who are now striving to
again control North Dakota's affairs
under the name of the Independent
Voters league. Which looks the bet
ter, MI. Reader, Frazier and the
leaguers with an increased taxation
on railroad property of $69,464 1858 or
Steen and his standpatter (and back
patters) with a decreased taxation Of
$~50,538,888?

Big Business is shown to have nc
politics. 1t has been as willing to de-
bauch a Republican representative as
a Democratic representative. The
Republican party, however, is deep
ed in the mud than the Democratic
party is in the mire. Probably this
is due to the fact that the Republican
party was so long in power and one
of its representatives in Congress was
worth four Of the minority.
