Socialism has the basis of real econo-
mic truths, but in Russia even a weak
and currupt absolute monarchy proved
better form of government than pure
mob rule. Democracy IS founded on the
best OF socialism, but individual rule
and action, whether of one man
monarchy, or of many men as mob is
doomed to failure. Democracy is the
united effort of the many who submit to
and sustain the will of the majority. In
union there is strength in government.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Like the molten, seethlng lava in th.
crater of volcano the desultory fighting
goes on along the battle lines in France
Both sides are waging worrying war
fare" with patrols, raiding parties, anc
sometimes with considerable assaultine
forces, daily and nightly, and at all times
the rumbling of the cannon can be
heard. Every twenty-four hours brings
casualty lists that in past history woulc
have been the results of a then great
battle.
All this is but preparatory to the
grand eruption that must soon occur
unless one side or the other voluntarily
retreats and thus acknowledge temper
ary defeat.
The present rate of ''attrition" Is toe
great to last long. The grinding at the
edges will soon wear to the "quick" and
be unbearable longer.
Meantime both armies are being rein.
forced as rapidly as men and muni sions
can be forwarded. Huge reserves are in
the rear, but connected with the fronts
by narrow guage railways, of which a
perfect net work has been constructed,
so that these may be taken to spots
where needed in few minutes or hours.
Three million men on this side, three
million men on the other side. will soon
be rushing ''over the top to meet in Nc
Mans Land IN the greatest and most
destructive battle of history. The casu.
atty lists of such conflict may exceed
in numbers the total armies engaged in
some historical battles.
According to the dispatches the Am.
erican boys 'sover there are ''doing
their bit" just as the American people
expected they would. but the rest of the
world is watching them with curiosity
to see what sort of fighters these raw
American soldiers make.
Meantime. shiploads of mon and muni-
tions are crossing the sea, until now al
most every hamlet in America has rep
resentatives at or near the front. We
do not know how many are now there
but we can figure that if there are Ger.
tain number, say from Pembina county,
now across the sea, that there is>a cor
responding number from every county
in the United States.
The call for the men Of the second
draf, will probably be made in April;
just now the authorities are awaiting
for Congress to amend some parts Of the
draft laws before proceeding.

Compromise where political and re-

evidently possible in Belfast, accord

ftor to that town. One day she had
occasion to call at a house where a
woman of the Roman Catholic faith
had married a Protestant husband. On
one side of the mantelshelf was a bust
of the pope, on the other a bust of
William of Orange. 81 suppose you
find it very difficult to agree at times?"

ready reply, 1--WE only differ once
year, on the Boyne anniversary, when
my husband comes home drunk and

The Census in Ancient Times.

While the greatest strides in the
advance of vital statistics as a science
have been made in recent years, their
origin may be traced to centuries be-
fore Christ. Indeed, Herodotus tells
US of a, census of Egypt taken about
1850 B. G. for the purpose of making
arrangements for the construction of
the Pyramids. Elsewhere this same
author refers to a second census, taken
about 400 B. G. in Egypt by Rameses
II for the purpose of reapportioning
all the land of Egypt among his sub
jects. The Bible tells us that Moses
counted the tribes of Israel to deter
mine their fighting strength and that
David, about 1918 B. c., took census
for the same purpose. There is a rec
ord of census taken in China about
1900 B. c., when data of the provinces
were collected by Uking.-S. w.

Statistics.

To Calculate Interest.

A rule often recommended for cal
culating interest for short periods is
as follows: To find the interest of
any given sum for any number of days.
multiply the principal by the number
of days and divide as follows: At {
per cent. by -; at per cent, by 60 /;
at Z per ccnt, by 50; at s per cent, by
45, and at 9 per cent. by 40.

Plan Institute for
"Y" Speakers

A speakers institute, planned for
the benefit of the women of North
Dakota, who are to take part in the
Y. w. G. A. campaign in November,
will be held in Fargo, Thursday,
September 10, according to plans
now being made at the North Da-
kota state headquarters. This meet
ing is planned for Thursday, owing
to the fact that the Y. M. c. A. state
campaign is to be held on Septem-
Der 20, and the speakers will be en-
abled to attend the two meetings
without extra expense. Mrs. Han
cock, a state chairman, Mrs. n. K.
Mcclellan, recruiting chairman, and
Miss Pearl deJarnett, who came to
Fargo few days ago to take
charge Of the state headquarters,
are in session this afternoon, max
ing final arrangements for this
meeting.
Z On account of the ruling that the
seven organizations doing welfare
work in the United States are TO put
on joint campaign for funds for
war work, the plans Of the state or
ganization are held up until after
the return Of the delegates from the
Chicago conference. The principal
work until that time will be the
completion of the list of speakers
for the campaign. D.
