have often been done to the rights OF
the people; and so, when we found
times hard and things going wrong,
we have vented our anger upon cor
poratiOns and upon the capitalists who
controlled them In many cases we
allowed ourselves to become angry
with q class or with certain individ'
uals and expended our strength on
our temper, rather than upon study
Of the cure OF the conditions about
which we complained; and in many
instances we punished corpora tons
for the wrongs Of their predecessors
In ownership, much as sins OF parents
are visited upon their children.
Demagogues, knowing the public
mood, appealed to prejudice and ig-
ncrance In discussing public matters
and made issues like currency. anti
trust laws and the railroads political
footballs, just as II the question Of
whether money could be saved by
Joining together companies and pro-
viding for economy in purchases and
sales was political. OF course 1t was
a matter of economics (Which Is the
science Of commerce). Such matters
call for conference between repre-
sentatives of farmers, laborers, SCI
entific students of world conditions,
and manufacturers and purchasers Of
goods, to consider and determine how
goods can be produced with fair
wage to the employee, fair profit to
the employer and the maximum bene'
fit to the public.
Future Problems.
In Europe they have taken these
questions up in this careful way and
the result has been of great benefit.
Now, and in the future, America will
have to deal with countries that are
short of resources through the exhaus-
ton Of war and have, of necessity, to
get down to rock-bOttOm. The thrifty,
intelligent, industrious European is
apt to be a good merchant, and we are
going to have a hard time competing
with him for commerce and for world
position, so we must consider all Of
our problems more carefully than ever
before and cast aside those men who
attempt to lead us away from .
dispassionate view Of great
questions.
Graft and neglect In local communi.
ties Of political duties by the average
citizen are responsible for the misgov.

528.924 enlisted men. Eighty eight days
after the declaration of war Pershing's
first contingent of fighting men landed
safely In France.
Today our army eats no less than
g, 8,75O,OO0 pounds Of food a day, and It
must be delivered at every point where
our home and foreign forces of men
are stationed and along the line Of
march. And equipment, clothing,
TRANSFORMATION and munitions must be
provided. And then there Is the navy
and the ship building and the air SER
vice--all requiring millions of dollars
regardless of price because Of the
haste.
Our country is counting on as to
furnish the money for all this. 1t is
counting on your money! your labor
and your spirit OF self sacrifice to do
1t. Talk will not DO It, and the fight
cannot be won with all our great re-
sources unless those resources are 10
directed that they count In the ac-
tual prosecution of the war.
America is the richest nation in the
world and NORTH Dakota has the most
wealth per capita Of any state In Am
erica. But the money will not do any
good in the war unless 1t Is m0biltzed
for the use of the government. To
properly mobilize money and to induce
it away from demands upon the goods
and services needed In the war, the
war savings stamp campaign was de-
vised by the government, and In order
that this campaign may be crystaltzed
into Immediate results The secretary Of
the treasury has designated Friday,
June %. as a day for rounding up the
people in every community and pledg-
ing them to buy war savings and thrift
stamps to the full of their capacity.
making payment therefor weekly or
as the case may be. These
war savings stamps are as good ~
Liberty bonds by way of Investment
and the issue of $4,000, ,OOO. 900, II taken
up within the next month, will give the
government much needed funds for the
uses stated.
Twenty dollars per capita Is called
for In this campaign from the people Of
the country. North Dakota has alb
sorbed stamps for less than 81 per
capita 80 far, placing her far down on
the list Of states; but the people have
not failed the government yet. and
North Dakota will come out OF this
campaign triumphant. But 1t Is going
to take work, enthusiastic work. and
a proper understanding Of the need to
carry It over.
Everyone must realize this IL. .hls

sHELL-soNG TUNES.

An American army Y. M. c. A.
movie man who cares portable out
fit along with him, giving shows in
dugouts, barns, tents and wherever he
can set up his machine and curtain,
hiding his light at the same time from
watchful German eyes, was travelling
along a shell-swept road behind the
lines in France. He picked up an
army chaplain for a ride to a neighbor-
ing outpost. In a few minutes they
were speeding along a stretch Of road
over which the big shells were whiz-
zing.
"They seem to sing a song" said the
chaplain as he listened to the hum
overhead.
II thought the same thing when |
first heard them," said the Y movie
man.
'What tune did it sound like to
your" asked the chaplain after a
pause.
First it was Home, Sweet Home,'
was the reply.
"And them"
"'Nearer My God to Thee" said
the movie man, as he swerved the Red
Triangle automobile to avoid a shell
hole.

at appears from the returns IN the
senatorial election that Senator Shields
has been nominated to succeed himself,
and / most cheerfully submit to the
verdict of the people as expressed at
the ballot box. / wish to say, howev-
err, that ] waged an open fight for
the coveted honor and presented my
case as best / could in the brief cam
paign l made.
Il accept the result with no unkind
feelings, animosity or i'll win for the
elector, who, following his honest con-
viction of duty as a citizen, supported
Senator Shields. I studiously avoided
any interference with the campaign of
other candidates, even to the extent of
submitting to unjust and unwarranted
attacks and criticisms upon me and my
administration. / made no combina-
ton for or against any man or men
running for other offices, and can truth
fully say that no candidate either lost
or received vote by virtue of any
trade or agreement with me- | am
not ashamed or Inundated because of
the result.
ITO the loyal friends and voters of
th state who gave me their ungrudg-
ing support and influence, without
promise or hope of reward and to
whose untiring efforts | owe the very
complimentary vote l received, here
and now desire to tender the profound
thanks of grateful heart. u shall
never forget their splendid fight in
my interest and trust that | may be
permitted at some time to serve them
as they have so generously and unset
fishly served me. Their confidence in
me as a public servant is more to be
treasured and appreciated that the
title to any office and to them ! shall
ever be grateful.

THRIFT STAMP DAY

Wednesday Of each week has r Rn
set apart as Thrift Stamp Day And
the people throughout the county Gre
earnestly requested to cooperate with
the committee in charge of the work
to see how many Thrift Stamps can
be sold or bought on that day.
To promote the interest it was de-
cided to select certain product each
week and the sales from that espe-
cial product to be put into Thrift
Stamps.
Eggs have been selected for next
Wednesday, and everyone selling eggs
on that day will please buy Thrift
Stamps with the proceeds.
The county has been organized and
at each community meeting please re-
port the progress of this plan.

how British seamen have met German
craft and cunning with craft and cum.
ming.
Until this week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ships,
known in the navy as the 20" ships,
although several officers, notably
Captain Gordon Campbell, have been
decorated for their services on these
vessels. Details can now be made pub
lie as the Germans are becoming aware
through bitter experience of the meth
eds used against them.
How woman and baby" accounted
for a U-boat is told by the correspon-
dent The submarine ordered a vessel
to surrender and fired few shells into
her. The boats then left the ship,
leaving on board a woman who ran up
and down the deck with baby in her
arms as if mad. The U-boat came
along side the vessel and the woman
hurled the baby" into the open hatch.
The baby" exploded and blew out the
bottom of the submarine. 1.-THE wo-
man" was decorated with the Victo-
ria cross.
The correspondent says that the
first mention of the mystery ship was
in the case of Baralong, which on Au-
gust 10 sank U-boat after the tor
pedoing of the British liner Arabic. 1t
will be remembered, he says, that the
German Government protested that
there was nothing to indicate the Bar
along's warlike character. The Bara-
Icing case was probably not the first
in which a ruse was used and since
then the Disgusting of armed vessels as
innocent merchantmen for dealing with
submarines has attained considerable
dimensions.

Oh, the mothers Of men. the mothers
Of men,
Whose deeds are too great for the
magic Of pen.
Whose souls are unspotted, whose
breasts ever bare
To the malignant thrust Of the sworC

The monster of war on your homes

Only just for the brave, brave mothers
Of men.
Oh, the mothers of men, how they
stand true and strong,
A prayer in each heart, each voice
raised in song;
Groaning not in their travail, lest
their men hear their cry,
Sending forth every son to win or ia
die;
oh, Victory viii clasp hands withLib-
erty when
Ends the long, noiseless battle of the
mothers of men.
OH the mothers of men, see their ban
ner unfurled,
To ripple its folds in the winds of the
world,
Their faces upturned to Gods throne
in the skies;
And the question of centuries deep in
their eyes;
The battle they fight never pictures
by pen,
It's host Of the Lord, those mothers
Of men.
Oh! the mothers of men, when the
end comes at last,
When the sword and the bayonet tC
plowshares are cast,
When the earth, battle Scared, give:
its fruitage again,
And the hearts that have bled forget
every pain,
When those who are left come HON,
at the end,
They shall dream and be glad with the
mothers of men.
