The Gackle Republican discusses
the case Of Farmer" Tngle as follows:
Is it necessary to belong to the
Nonpartisan league to become a
giver in the Consumers United
Stores scheme? No one but
members are permitted to bug
up" $4,000 to this gigantic prop
osition, according to the big noise
on one side, while the following
from the North Dakota Leader
would indicate otherwise:
lngle is not a member Of the
Nonpartisan league. He was at
one time but failed to renew, and
frankly says that he did not favor
all that the league program in
cludes. In fact, he was never
anything but a half-hearted
member, and was and is so re-
garded by his neighbors. His
standing in the Farmers Union is
on a par with his league status.
Now kind reader does this not look
like a case Of picking the grapes any
where before they get soured? What
do you think Of an institution that
breaches one thing and then jumps at
the other. Ingle was not q member
OF the league but he could set In on
the ground floor Of the store scheme.
Think it all over, Wen let you draw
your own conclusion.

The Commercial West: Putting
all the Nonpartisan speeches recent
ly held in Minnesota, into a sack and
shaking thoroughly before taking this
hodge podge is as near this result as
mortal man may arrive, says the
convention reporter.
The state of Minnesota is all
wrong. The United States is all
wrong. The twin cities are all wrong.
The state government is all wrong.
The social system is wrong, all
wrong. The marketing system is all
wrong. The country in paying for
the war is an wrong. Business Is ell
wrong. The newspapers you read
are ail wrong, douhly and triply
wrong. The ownership and financing
OF industry Is all wrong.
When everything looks wrong
there must be something the matter
with the eyes Of the locker.

The Valley City Tines Record
thinks Republicans can vote for s
J. Doyle without blushing, and say
so as follows:
The Democrats have selected
s. J. Doyle as their candidate for
governor. Mr.. Doyle is the
present United States marshal
and the man the league has been
trying to get President Wilson
TO let out OF his Job because he
has been placing his Official
hand heavily on the shoulders OF
those who have been spouting
German propaganda around the
state and in various ways
hamperinE the government. 1T
may be that some Republican
will enter the race to contest
with Gov. Frazier for the nom
inatiOn in June and beat him out
but If he does not. s. ]. Doyle
viii be the Democratic nominee
and a good one at that. one for
whom a North Dakota man would
not have to turn his head and
blush with shame when away from

state do YOU come from?" Down
east North Dakota is called the
boob state with no limit but the
blue sky. If we have got to
have a Democratic governor. 8.
J. Doyle is 100 per cent right
The Grand Forks Herald has the
timely editorial on the
cruelty Of withholding addresses Of
men killed in battle:
The government officially
makes known the fact that the
army has more than 1O0. 600
Smiths OF whom 1900 are Will
liam. Smiths, 1000 are John
Smiths. and 200 are John A.
Smiths. There are 1000 John
Browns, 1000 John Johnsons, l.

wives named Mary"
The government cites this as a
reason why applicants for gov
eminent soldiers insurance
should sign their full names. But

that II will strike almost every

A Column Devoted to the Task Of
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

The Mandan Pioneer has the fol
owing comment on the Democratic
IN Fargo:
At the Democratic conference
at Fargo at which many leading
Democrats OF the state are in
attendance, IL was made known
that only a 100 per cent loyal
candidate for governor would be
considered. 1t is also announc-
ced that it was the opinion OF
the conference that in these
times Of natl onal stress
party lines be forgotten as the
war is the first issue OF the day.
We wish to congra fulate the
leaders OF the Democratic party
Of North Dakota That kind OF q
platform is one that will win sup
port from the people. The man
who runs upon any ticket. no
difference what the party ap-
pellatton may be. cannot afford
to have his loyalty questioned.
No party or set Of men can af-
ford 70 place anyone In the race
who does not measure un to an
America First proposition. That
should be the main plank ia ev-
cry platform. The Democrats
are right on the question Of
loyalty and they are also right
in presuming that party lines
should not be drawn too closely.
There should be only one party
now and that ia the American
party

AFRAID OF ice CREAM
French Children Taste New Dish
and Cry, at Is Hot"
II and Hangs About American
Camps.

Paris.-Ice cream is a new dish
to the inhabitants of France.
Some of the big city jewellers may
have had a passing acquaintance with
1t, but the rural folk and those In the
villages saw their first ice cream made
In the American army camps.
Many of the permanent American
camps In the service of supplies have
made Ice cream a regular feature, the
regiIEental canteens turning out the
frozen delicacy for several hundred
men.
The introduction of Ice cream to
the French peasant children has been
productive of much amusement to the
American troops. The youngsters think
II is hot.
One of the men of an engineer regi-
ment took a mess kit full of ice cream
to a French farmhouse. One Of the
small boys took a big teaspoonful. A
look of panied amazement came over
his face, and, emptying his mouth OF
the frozen cream, he ran screaming
to the protection Of his mothers
skirts crying: "Chaudl Chaud! =
(Hot! HotO
The other children who had watched
rather horror-stricken the fate of the
first became convinced that the ice
cream was some sort of a white fire
and they would have nothing to do
with 1t. The mother had to eat virtu-
ally all of the cream in order to In
duce them that 1t was cold rather
than hot and hat when not taken too
fast was good TO eat. Eventually, the
children ate the last Of the dish. But
they partook Of 1t gingerly, evidently
greatly mystifed that anything which
first seemed hot then cold could be
good to eat.
But In time the kids got to liking
ice cream and they became as great a
nuisance around the camps asking for
ice cream as they had been before
in seeking chewing gum.

CHAPLAIN DIES OF WOUNDS
Fatally Injured While Going to Rescue
Of Two Men Who Had Been
Gassed.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Rev. NJ. Wilson
Keith, chaplain of the One Hundred
and Eleventh infantry, died In France
of wounds received while he was res
cuing two of his "boys," according to
letters received here. The action in
which the clergyman received his
death wounds was after the repulse OF
a German attack. According to his
custom Reverend Keith was In the
trench distributing chocolate and Gig
arettes. When the soldiers leaped out
to attack the Germans difficulty was
experienced In keeping the chaplain
from going along. Two Of the boys
did not come back. after the Huns
had been repulsed. Gas had left them
helpless In mo Mans Land" When
volunteers went out for them the chap
lain went along. 1t was while engaged
In this work that he was wounded.

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home In Spite
Of Low suppIIea
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively thai their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
900 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the ~injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
II would be- absolutely impossible &c
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth 80 pre-.
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. BY II we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation Is in a position 20
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events 1t
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look In July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been In the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained In every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
In these United States"

SAFEST TO TAKE NO CHANCE
Lieut. ira J. Hodes Of New York Tells
Of Battle Scenes and Praises Lieut..
Audrey Grey Of California
az Hero.

London.-First Lieut.. Ira ]. Hodes Of
Brooklyn. N. Y, and Berkeley, CAL.
praises Lieut.. Audrey Grey Of Berke-
ley as one Of the gamest American
officers he ever knew.
Lieutenant Grey, fearfully wounded
and at the point of death, said:
Don't take me, boys; clean 'em out
first"
BY cleaning 'em out" he meant for
them to keep on driving at the Ger
q machine u nests until they
were abandoned. He did not want TO
interrupt the progress on that part Of
the line for an instant.
Lieutenant Hodes was wounded In
the left leg-the same leg In which he
had been shot during the Spanish
American war.
II was Just out of the hospital" he
said, telling Of his last engagement.
II had been laid up with whooplng
cough. l had just reported back and
been assigned to command Of Com
pany -. We were ordered to advance
first on Saturday, August 81. We went
ahead for two and a half miles and
took the German second line trench.
Grey Gets Fatal Wound.
'sThe counter-attack came exactly at
four o'clock. But, of course, ii availed
nothing, because we were fully able to
meet Ii with more than sufficient re-
sistance. Our artillery had full sweep
Of the ground over which they moved.
The slaughter was terrible.
"We lay In the position all that
night. and at seven o'clock in the morn
ing made a quick move. We took over
a line of shell holes about three hun
dred yards In front of US. Then we
started In to clean up the thick nests
of machine guns.
Lieutenant Grey was shot in the
stomach and Lieut.. Harry Blair of
Brooklyn was hit. Then l was hit.
After / got 1t Blair and myself carried
Grey back to a dressing station. He
died the next morning.
Huns Did Not Fight Fair.
1.-The Germans were fighting in a
nasty way. 1t was not the least bit
safe to pay any attention to them
when they began to cry "kamerad."
Many of them carried a little pistol
called a squirt gum 1t shoots q
small bullet like a twenty-five, but
sprays them out at short range. The
pistols keep on shooting just as long as
o keep your finger pressed on the
trigger. They are good for short range
only. The danger was In this: If you
rounded up two or three or more Ger
mans and ordered them TO throw up
their hands, they would. except that
one of them would be a little slow. II
you started to lower your gun or pistol
10 take them In tow the slow-moying
man suddenly threw out his squirt gun
and opened fire. The safest thing to
do was to take no chances.
'"The Germans were doing all sorts
Of things that were forbidden by inter-
national code. They did not think any
thing of firing on the stretcher bear
ers, although the men were carefully
marked with white bands on their
arms and were classed as noncom-
batants."
