DON'T WANT FARMS

The Yanks will not lead general back to the
soil movement on their return from France. A
straw vote indicates that less than ten per cent of
our fighting men wish to settle on farms when
they come back.
This was to be expected.
Say what we may of the joys of farming, the
life is still lonely one, and with all the modern
labor-saving Devices hard one
Farmer boys who never were before outside
their own township; boys who were timid of the
city, fearful of travel and slow in making friends,
have been around. They have seen more of life
than it ever will be given most of us stay-at-
homes to see They have the courage of expert
ence, and when they return it is not probable that
they will be content with the same narrow bound
aries which they knew of old.
Our problem will not be the settling of these
Yanks on the FARMS but first that of finding some
thing for them to do in our cities, in our large
industrial centers within the zone of life and light
and swift-moving action
We doubt not that in the course of year or two
they will tire of the glitter of tinsel and false
gold. They will discover the hollowness of life in
the average large city they will become convinced
that real opportunity beckons there to but one
in thousand or one in ten thousand.
Then, if ever, will come a back to the soil move
ment, and then we must have prepared the soil
for these boys, by making country life more at
tractive. We must have more community social

OUR MEMORIAL DAYS

Respect for our dead is one Of the things which
distinguishes the human from the animal. There
is coupled with this sentiment that underlying
confidence in immortality which is conscious in
even the most degraded of human races. The Elks,
a great national organization who have so much to
commend them, lay especial emphasis upon their
memorial ritual The observance Of their annual
memorial day at the Elks' temple yesterday was
beautiful service which must have made every
one who heard it feel little closer brotherhood
with those who have gone to dwell in a realm
where, some day. ~ matter what our faith may
be-, we hope by our good works to earn a reunion
with them.

A LIVE ORGANIZATION

The Valley City Commercial club bulletin for
December, which has reached The TRIBUNE ex-
change desk, is an interesting, readable record Of
the activities of live community organization.
The club membership, of which roster is given,
is not large, tthere appears to be close COOP
GRAFTON, cohesion and unity which makes their
combined efforts big. Secretary l. j. Moe who
has been managing executive of this organization
for several years, is to be congratulated upon his
stewardship.

Four aces !

That's the winning hand The hand which wins
democracy, worldwide and all-embracing:: Four
Of a kind unbeatable, 1unapproachable. Better
than kings. And, you will notice, there's not a
2jokerint the hand.
Just men, human, honest, democratic men of
the people, men in whose arteries and veins flows
the red blood of manhood
That's the hand which will win at the peace
table, and will clinch forever the victory democ-
racy won on the battlefelos of Europe. -,
OF course there will be kings; always have been
in every deal, you know. But kings count for
little when four aces are present.
And, four aces are present. They'll be at the
conference. Three premlers and one president.
Sure King George of England will be there and
King Emmanuel of Italy and the brave King AL
bert of Belgium. But the real powers in the con-
ference and before and after it is held will be four
untitled, uncroWned, common men, three premlers
and president They'll be:
WILSON OF THE UNITED STATES.
LLOYD GEORGE OF BRITAIN
CLEMENCEAU OF FRANCE
ORLANDO OF ITALY
Never in any peace conference have four men
as big of mind and purpose gathered around the
table, And never in an all-European peace con-
ference have kings and emperors played as small
a part as they will now.
The four aces will win. The kings will have no
show, and deserve none Also (hurrahD there
are in the discard, two kaisers, a Bulgarian car
and Moslem sultan; and (again hurrahD the
joker of autocracy has been torn into bits.

Chaplain Coming Home.

The "Pick and Shovel which
bears at it's masthead, Founded by
Chaplain II. G. Markley," who will be
RECALLED as the fighting chaplain Of the
Smashing Second North Dakota, has
the following item prophesying. un-
der date Of October IS, the early re-
turn Of this warrior cleric:
chaplain II. e. Marley has gone
to a base hospital on the coast to rest
and from there he will probably sail
for the states at an early date. Be-
cause of his health he was compelled
to give up his work here, but he hopes
that change Of climate will enable
him to resume his duties in the army
when he reaches the other side. He
spent some days at Base Hospital No.
13, leaving this camp last Sunday.
Chaplain Markley came to France
with his regiment nearly a year ago.
He was quite popular with the men
and exerted great influence for good
over them"

en- miles into town, refused to ride in
an automobile but marched on foot in
the parade. She then walked the
seven miles home to do the evening
chores.
When the order came to register
alien enemies, Mrs. Kahn walked the
seven miles again and presented her.
