The most blithe and brilliant of
the condolences of the American
stage to-day are the ones who are
proudest to boast of their sons who
are fighting or champing in khaki
for the word to pitch in.
Blanche Ring trains like a boxer
to keep fit and youthful and looking
about 90, although she has a son,
Gordon MacNichol, who is an officer
waiting to be sen over or already in
France. She is as vain as a field mar
shall of her soldier boy and has kept
near him in the various camps.
One night in a big Chicago restau-
rant the jackies' band entered the
lobby and played the national an
them. Everybody in the several cafes
on the same floor arose except one
young woman, who went petulantly
on eating her dinner. Blanche Ring
was entertaining guests n she
stood at attention till the anthem
was finished, her eyes riveted on the
tactless woman, whom the head
waiter had several times requested
to stand. When the hymn was
through Blanche Ring rushed at the
woman and shouted in her clear
voice:
Denounced as Stacker
"How dare you sit down when our
national hymn is being played? Your
place is in Germany, not here, and
the next time you stand up. See :?
You stand up. ! have a son who is
fighting for his country and nobody
insults his flag, the Star Spangled
Banner, while I'm around. You shall
be reported to the proper authorities
and be watched. I'll see to that"
No song Blanche ever sang made
such a sensational hit as that speech.
And she would have reported the
woman. but, alas, the government is
speedier than its heroines, for be-
fore Blanche had time to inquire
how and where the authorities could
be summoned, behold a gentlemanly

What One Sees at the Front

[From Arthur Conan Doyle in the
London Times.1
We had halted the car for an
instant to gather up two German
helmets which Commander Latham
had seen on the roadside, when
there was a very heavy burst close
ahead round a curve in the village
street. A geyser of red brick dust
flew up into the air. An instant
later u car rounded the corner.
None of us will forget what we saw.
There was a tangle of mutilated
horses, their necks rising and sink
ing. Beside them a man with his
hand blown off was staggering away,
the blood gushing from his u~pturned
sleeve. Beside the horses lay a
shattered man, drenched crimson
from head to foot, with two great
glazed eyes looking upwards through
a mask of blood. Two comrades
were at hand to help, and we could
only go upon our way with the
CHASTITY picture stamped upon our
memory. The image of that dead
driver might we'll haunt one in ones
dreams.

keystone State to support are
scarcely known.
On the Republican ticket for
Congress-at-large appear these
names:
William J. Burke.
Thomas s. Crago.
Mahlon NJ. Garland.
Anderson H. Walters.
The Congress in which these men
will sit will be one of the most i'm
portant in the history of the repub-
lie. The party in power in time of
the greatest war will be asked for
an account of its stewardship. The
session will be called upon to legis-
late so hat the peace of the planet
may be assured. American prestige
was never so high. Our people will
never suffer it to be lowered.
Col. Crago is one of the military
experts of Congress. A veteran of
the Spanish and Philippine wars, a
student of military history, he oc-
cupies a unique position in Wash
ington. Recognized by army Off
GERS as one of the most capable of
legislators in military matters; con-
suited eve by Democratic. chiefs.
honored by the majority, he is one
Of the strong men of important
fcommittees in war time.
Mahlon NJ. Garland, a resident of
the county so justly entitled to the
name of the workshop of the
world" the great source of NUM-
tons. is peculiarly fitted to repre-
sent this industrial commonwealth
in such legislation as will affect its
economic side just as William ].
Burke, who is proud of the fact
that he is a railroad engineer, can
speak for labor. Senator Burke, as
Harrisburg knows him. is one OF
the front rank railroad workers of
the country, holding high positions
in brotherhood and ranking officer
of committees. The railroads are
the arteries of Pennsylvania and
Senator Burke knows them from end
to end and the men who work on
them. 1t is fortunate that the legis-
lation which will be enacted in re-
gard to transportation will come be-
fore this sturdy representative of
the army of railroad men of Penn
.~ylvania.
And finally, but only because w
is down in the alphabet is Ander-
son II. Walters, former congressman,
progressive, able. Successful in
newspaper work and business he
combines experience and brains and
will be valuable in the big work to
be done at Washington.
Pennsylvania is going to have a
big Republican delegation; larger
than for years. These four men
will be pillars.

Normal Course at Bottineau;
Forestry Course Discontinued

This is the time Of year when
discussion centers about
the question Of which higher
school to select. The attention
of parents and prospective stu
dents is directed to the oppor-
tunities that are to be offered by
the State School at Bottineau.
The chief work at what has been
the State School Of Forestry is
to be teacher training and COM
mercial. Forestry work belongs
properly at Fargo. There is
pressing need for more and bet
ter trained teachers for the
States children in the public
schools. This fall Bottineau Of
fers the following opportunities:
l. A two-year normal course
for high school graduates, lead
ing to a second grade profession
al certificate which after, nine
months of successful teaching
experience is convertible into
a life certificate.
2. A one-year normal course
for high school graduates, lead
ing to a second grade profession
al certificate which after two
years is convertible into a five
year certificate.
3. A three-year normal course
for graduates of the eighth
grade, leading to a fourth grade
certificate.
4. A regular, standard, four
year high school course under
especially strong teachers.
5. A two-year business course
open to pupils who have ON
pleted at least two years of high
school work.
6. Junior high school work
for pupils in grades seven or
eight who wish a speedy prepar-
alton for entrance upon ninth
grade work. The course in the
seventh and eighth grade is so
modified that a mature and ener-
getic boy or girl can complete
that work in much less than
the two years ordinarily re-
quired.
The new president of the
school, Mr.. Vernon L. Mangun,
plans to visit in the neighbor-
hood; of Bottineau during Sep
tember in the interests of the
school. Those interested should
write him at Bottineau and he
will be glad to call the first time
he is in your vicinity. He hopes
to meet a good many parents and
students.
1t is believed that the plan of
developing Bottineau as a State
Normal and Commercial School
will mean an important turning
point in the schools history. A
higher training Of a most essen
tial kind is within reach of stu
dents and teachers in service in
this part of the state. enlist
