We knit but very little
AS good soldiers never do
But wen throw our picks and shovsls
When the time does come that's true.
They seem to have It ia for us
A reason I do not know,
They took our privatas all away
Until we had no show.
They picked up all the dra9ties
C.f the casual camps around
And the greenest unframed rockies
That could anywhere be found.
We've been the goats oS this big army
And I'm sure that you WIN ind
There isn't another regiment as good
Upon the firing line
So give us North Dakota boys
A chance To show our skill

And show as KAISER Bill

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the peoples blow
Between the crosses, now on row.
That mark our place; and In the sky
The larks, still brayely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
we are the Dead. Short day ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In FLANDERS fields,
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
no yOu from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold It high.
II ye break faith with us who die
We aEaTl not sleep, though poppiap grow

NezCS and Comment

Perhaps you have lived for months or even
years in neighborhood in Fargo without
knowing the names Of the families across the
street
You have seen your neighbor watering his
lawn in the evening, and perhaps vaguely won
dered about the name Of that fellow across the
street..
You have noted that he seemed to be a good
loyal citizen. There was a Red Cross card in
the front window, and a food conservation card
in the kitchen window. Perhaps you noted he
had a service flag the door, and
dered If it was his son or his brother who was in
France.
You have noted that he goes to work about
the same time you do and occasionally you have
nodded to him on the corner.
And that is the extent of your acquaintance
ship with THE fellow across the street.
But we got something out of, the recent little
political affair We know the name, business
political leanings, and something Of the per
sonal history Of every neighbor in five blocks.
We found one very pleasant old gentleman,
who came from our home town.
And 80 per cent of them said: ooh, you're
the chap that lives in that house, are you?
Just what we had been saying about them.
It would be an interesting experiment to pick
out vacant lot and hold lawn social, inviting
everyone in the square to attend and meet his
neighbors. If they all came-which they prob
them would know every other man present.

Appearing in number of western
papers of recent date from their
Washington correspondent, Mr..
Dunn, is the following: Doubling up
of senators on the first class commit
tees throws important legislation
into the hands of a very few men.
Senators with more than one term
are generally those who secure places
on two or more big committees, and
to them falls the word and control of
legislation. It so happens that Sen
ator Fletcher of Florida has the lions
share of important duties to perform
just now. As chairman of the com.
mittee on commerce, he has the big
shipping problem on his hands; as a
member of the military affairs COM
mittee he has had share in all the
legislation coming from that commit
tee, and just recently he was made a
member of the subcommittee from
the committee on the judiciary, which
is handling the presidents very COM
prehensive bill, giving him the au-
thority he wants to carry on the war.
Quite number of other senators
have almost as much to do as Senator
