LOOKING WITH FAVOR on ART
Public Hastens to Attach Respectable
lily to Favorites, Despite Their
Various Shortcomings.

The public always tries to make it's
favorites respectable, those it truly
loves. 1t longs to make them more like
itself. 1t delights to read of happy
family life among it's beloved artists,
and of the pure summers of the movie
star who lives with her mother and
has a garden, observes the New Re.
public.
The course of Mary Anderson
comforted and justified thousands of
housewives for their mild domes-
ticities and their distrust of the
stage. Even the public's favorite ro-
mancer lived with his wife three years
before he married her, and he did not
even suffer from a wasting illness
but they will not have it so, and are
fast turning him into a pitiful, CHEEKY
saint and martyr as fat and sweet
as their own ideals. The favorite
short story writer embezzled and went
to the penitentiary and loved poker,
but they want to make him an ever
flowing human heart wandering about
taking snapshots. They have spent
more time raking over and clearing
up the records Of Goethe and Poe and
Byron and Shelley than they ever
spent on the poems.

"A NORTH DAKOTA TOWN.

What North Dakota is able to show
of the right patriotic spirit in these
strenuous days of a worlds war has
attracted the attention of the eastern
press and the last issue of Golfers
National Weekly cites a ease to the
point as follows:
Harvey. North OAK, with a popu
3ation of only l, l64, enlisted a band
of twenty EIGHT piece and raised a
national guard company of 141 men
land officers; also had seven men en-
) listed in the navy, six in hospital
corps units and five in the regular
: army This makes a total enlistment
,of l89, or lI.8 per cent of its popu.
-9ation. The town has raised a fund
xof So, 600 for its militia company
and the band, besides oversubscrib-
ing to both of Its Liberty Loar
a%1lotments, the second n by sixty
per cent; its Red Cross aliotments,
went over the tor. by fifty per cent
and its Y. M. c.. A., allotments b,
q margin of over forty per cent.

We waste time while we wait for
genius to burn; we settle down to in
different and mediocre lives while we
watch for our talents to develop. In
other words, we deliberately throw
away hours and days because we have
no definite end in view, and therefore
no real incentive to do service that
is worth while. How can we tell what
we are able to do, however, unless we
make q determined effort to find out?
1t may be that we shall fail many
times before we discover the right line
in which to direct our abilities, but at
least the time so occupied will not be
Millfully wasted, and even through
failure we learn many things which
will aid us in future attempts.

HELP WIN THE WAR.

A Personal word to the readers of the
Courier. Democrat.
"The problem of feeding ourselves
and feeding our army and associates
in the war is the most pressing one
that is Immediately before each and
every individual"
This was the message DR.. R. L.
WILDER. Herbert Hoover's chief lieu
tenant in food conservation brought 10
the west a few days ago.
We are asked to substitute foods
for wheat, meat, and sugar, that the
army may be fed There are manv
meat substitutes. Fish is an impor
tant one. Fish contains as much food
material as meat.
In North Dakota there are large
numbers of citizens who come from
Northern European countries where
fish is a staple article of diet.
They know the value of fish as a
food andathey know how to prepare it.
For others who may not know so much
about fish the Food Administration has
offered the following suggestions in
the way of fish receipts:
4 Scalloped Salmon and Macaroni--
Layers of salmon. cooked macaroni,
and medium cream sauce, Bake %

OUR NAVY.

We have heard much more of our
army than of u navy since the war
began. The navy does not have its
environments scattered over the coun-
try, each with its 10000 or more blue
Jackets ready to learn the art of war.
Or u destroyers we occasionally hear
a word, but of our battleships, our bat
tie cruisers and II gunboats we hear
but little. Some day we believe that
our navy will be heard from and that
THE noise of the hearing" will be loud,
says Ohio State Journal. Our navy's
traditions r cherished by the people.
Jones, Decatur, Hull, cambridge,
Perry, Marlborough, Porter, Farragut
and Dewey still are names to quicken
the pulses alike Of Gamer and lands
men. Somewhere our fleet is lying,
and some day we shall hear from it.
England's fleet, like ours, is lying
somewhere waiting for the hour to
strike. 1t may be, and there are men
who believe that it will be, the two
fleets will strike together. We hear
little of our navy today, but when we
do hear from it we can know that the
news will be of a brave fight, and u
confidence is that it also will be of a
victory won.

EEEEcr OF II WAR.

One of the incidental and unexpect-
ed effects of the MLr has been the res
toration of the American merchant ma
rine. Old Glory again flies over ocean
commerce to the extent that 26 per
cent of the exports for July were car
ried in American bottoms. A steady
increase in shipping under the Amerl-
can flag has been noted since the war
commenced, says Omaha Bee. This
change was unquestionably stimu-
lated if not entirely brought about by
circumstances which removed the
great fleet of German commerce car
riers from the sea, creating a demand
that only American vessels could fill.
At present the larger part of our ocean
traffic is carried between North and.
South American ports, although the
flag once nor flies over ships bound
for all parts of the world. The re-
awakening of this industry promises
much for our future. AS efforts will
be made to hold foreign trade after
the war, so will shipping be fostered
and not be permitted to fall out of
American control again. Shipowners
have learned one great lesson of pa
triotism and may be expected to ap-
ply it, to the .end that America will, in
deed, become the greatest among
maritime as among commercial and in
dustrial nations.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1918-01-03
SHIPPING NEEDS.

With every nerve tense, the war de-
partment is doing all in it's power to
insure the needed transport for
American troops. The warning of
Lord Northcliffe backing the state
ment of Sir Joseph Maclery, British
shipping controller, that the United
States will have to provide 100000
of tonnage a year to offset the havoc
of the submarines, is appreciated by
the American government. This u
try expects to have, upon the present
basis of estimates, and including the
seized ships, about S,250,OOO of ton.
mage by the close of 1919. Yet this
prospect does not admit of transport
ing as many as a million Of men in
that time. But the people of this coun-
try believe that the shipping board
will do much more than has yet APP
peared upon the surface, says Balti-
more American. They would not be
surprised to see the United States &C.
quire under some form Of agreement
all the seized German ships in South
American ports. And they would not
BE surprised should this country make
agreement for the creation of ship
building plants at South s-Aanerican
ports, so that every considerable port
upon the continent may be marked by
plants to build ships, the necessity for
which bears as heavily upon Latin
American as North American inter-
ests. This country has but begun the
ship-building program that will great
~ expand as the work continues.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1918-01-03

There is something new under the
sun-and the governments "dollar-a-
year men" disprove that world old
statement frequently made that all
men are in public life for what they
can get out Of it. These "dollar-a-
year men" are not few in number;
they are business men of ability many
of them have national regulations,
says Houston Post. When they are
engaged in their private business at
fairs they draw an aggregate salary
reaching into the millions. But every
one of them is working for the United
States for IS dollar. a year." They
are i'll the government service to help
win the war. They are looking for no
reward. They expect TO credit for
the part they take. They are merely
"dollar-a-year men"-ard that were
glory enough.

The dog has Jared badly in the rush
of twentieth century humanity to
apartment houses. Farmers who own
sheep but are not as mindful of the
value of trained dogs as r shep-
herds in Scotland, have done the dog
a bad turn by melting harsh legisla-
ton affecting him in New York. Yet
the dog is still useful to man, and
there have been numerous dog heroes
of the war. Americans probably will
make as much use of dogs as the
French and Belgians do. 1t is inter-
esting to learn from Camp Funston,
Kansas, that dogs of war, trained to
shun poisonous gases and to carry
messages, soon will be receiving ed
ucation at that military school along
with the men. When the American
army reaches France these dogs will
serve as messengers for the signal bat
TALON.
