FORKERT THINKS BOYS
MUST HELP FARMERS
Wild Rice Farmer, Visitor in Fargo
Proposes April School Recess as
Means Of Securing High Acreage.

H. F. Forkert. well known farmer
OF Wild Rice, Cass county. was a
visitor In Fargo Saturday.
Mr.. Forkert declares the problem
Of farm labor is intensely acute at
the present time. and he believes that
the grain districts Of the northwest
will need the assistance OF high
school and upper grade boys IL the
cOuntry's acreage Is to be maintained
on a proper basis.
Mr.. Forkert proposes that school
sessions be abandoned during the
month of April, and that the work be
continued till July / as a means OF
making up the lost time. The April
vacation, ne thinks. would permit a
sufficient number Of boys TO aid i'm
farm work to make it possible to seed
the acreage required.

Henry P. Dawson.

The reputation which Henry p Dawson has
gained within year is great and so far-reach-
ing that it may be difficult for him to maintain it
when the days of ended. For it is often
found more easy to secure of sudden such repu-
tation as gives man prominence than it is to main
tain the reputation after it has been gained. How
ever, Mr. Davison's achievement as the leader of
the Red Cross organization will pass into tradition
and be numbered among the greater achievements
gained by American citizens.
But there is another point Of view which at this
time is appropriate to take when Mr.. Davison's
work and personality under consideration. He
has revealed unusual and very fine qualities for pub
lie speaking of kind which is eloquent without
being bombastic and is dignifed while at the same
time characterized by that simplicity which charms
Since his return from Europe Mr.. Dawson has
made several addresses The sincerity and earnest
ness with which he has set forth the relations Of
the Red Cross to war work and the pathetic sim
plciy of his description of suffering as he found it
abroad, of themselves would have been sufficient
to hold the great audiences which Mr.. Dawson ad-
dressed with the complete control over them which
only great orators secure.
1t was not, however, until his addresses were
finished and there came opportunity to think not
only about what he said, but his manner of saying
it, that there came good understanding among
men competent to judge of the fact that he pos
kind.
AS, for instance, not any one of those who have
spoken with admiration of President Wilson's rea-
ton to this great have compacted so perfectly
and so beautifully into few words adequate
description of what that relation is Mr.. Dawson
did in one of the addresses delivered in New York
few days ago. What he said almost cpl
gram But it had the note of sincerity. of high ap
probation, of full understanding of all that the
Presidents responsibilities and of the man.
in which he has met them Furthermore, his
use of the English tongue has occasioned much
comment for it has been singularly felicitous. To
gain honorable and worthy reputation as orator
entail first OF all sincerity and thoughts worthy to
be presented; second, adequate expression of the
thought in words that dignfed in their use and
yet are so simple that the humblest can under
stand them. These things have characterized Mr..
Davison's recent addresses. And it is worth while
that there should be full recognition of this
additional achievement which he has gained.

listen to, II they are to receive the
approval of the people.
We will not go into these exhaus-
lively at this time. Suftice it to say
the greater share of the fundamen-
tails are plainly observable to the

gress is to outline. This is the pri-
mary fact the members should re-

further that the principle of ability

should be violated in the shaping Of
the new measure their efforts will
not go for naught but they would be
clouded, at least, in such a way that
the maximum amount Of good could
not be said to have been achieved.
The war revenue bill enacted at the
close OF the special session was an
important document-and there were
some miserable mistakes made in
moulding 1t. The coming revenue bill
Is a more important document. We
need not add that it should not be
full OF mistakes. Every step should
be taken with the utmost caution. No
politics should enter It. There should
be plenty Of brains put into it and
none Of its provisions should typify
the ambition Of any member OF either

Every night there in the bitches, and the craers in

He is fighting for you daily, with heart respond

And he's asking you to do little more.
When lad is lying wounded on the field or down

Bandages are needed badly, by the score.
There's bacteria and tetanus fighting hard and

So we need the Red Cross stuff, and need It more.
And he just forsets his rations when the shrapnel
hits wing, - ...
But bully beef and biscuits are no treat,
Yet when he is safely going to the hospital he's
How the Red Cross gives the dainty things to eat,
Say, I've been through all the horror and I've lots

If among the stiney slackers you are found;
But believe me there's no other like the splendid

So come across and smile when she comes round,
