The United States is planning for at
least three years more of war and, in
all probability, it will take that length
of time to crush the kaiser to earth.
That he must be crushed is foregone
conclusion. When the war started the
Union said it would not be surprised
to see it continue ten years. Do you
think it will last that long?

Whether a division Of state territory
between the Tri-State and NorthMes-

advantageous to the public is ques-

to take the place Of two competing cor
porations. And everyone knows that
monopolies are not beneficial.

YES, CHICAGO HAD A STORM.

BY this time the nation is quite
ready to admit that Chicago had a
snow-storm.
1t is willing to concede it was one
of tho biggest snow storms Chicago
ever had.
1t has acquired the startling in
formation that snow has to be show
eled, and when it is deep 1t requires
n large number Of shovelers.
1t has thrilled at pictures of Chi
caEo society women" in boomers
and actually working with snow
shovels.
1t has responded alphabetically
to the startling news that the milk
wagons were late, and that some
morning newspapers were not de-
livered.
Some North Dakotans who have
been down to the Windy City and
looked it over, concede that it was
some blizzard"
We move that it be conceded that
Chicago staged a bigger blizzard
than New York ever did, and adver-
tised it much better than New York
could.
Now let the war proceed.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
muIsified< cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to ham
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dam
druff.-Advt.

BALM FOR Mr.. DANIELS.

Like balm to the chafed soul OF the
urbane gentleman from Georgia who
serves as secretary Of the navy, must
be the report of the house committee
which investigated the ordnance bu-
reau Of the navy.
Josephus Daniels has been a shin
ing target during the last two or
three years. The navy was a "col-
lection OF leaky tubs" manned by
grape juice drinking Sunday school
teachers" and armed with broom
sticks and wooden guns"
And now it is discovered that the
naval ordnance bureau prepared in
peace for time Of war; that 1t was
set on hair trigger all ready for the
declaration; that it was well supplied
with standard types of munitions;
that orders for additional supplies
were all made out; that a census of
factories was ready, showing where
new sources of supply were avail
able; that the naval program is up
to the mark set and a little ahead
of it; and that the bureau was not
content to continue with the old ap-
pliances, but has been rapidly de-
veloping new ones.
Many lukewarm admirers. of Mr.
Daniels are surprised, and his OPP
pOnents are dumbfounded.
1t isn't toting square to try to be-
little the report. If Mr.. Daniels was
to be criticised for the shortcomings
OF his department, he is entitled to
the credit for its accomplishment
Meanwhile, Mr.. Baker has been
elected to the position of Chief Goat
of the administration, and apparent
ly with more reason, judging from
the general trend OF the evidence
presented before the senate commit
tee. But that evidence points less to
the personal inefficiency of Mr.. Balx-
er than it does to the growing ne
cessity of a supreme war council.

SQUARE With The Forums
Opinions.

Golfers Weekly: Profiteering-
that is, using the war for personal
gain-has become a term of the
greatest reproach. 1t is a fighting
word everywhere.
You can't say a much more harm
full thing about any man than that
he is turning the distress Of his
country, and the sacrifices that 9TH
er men are making, to his own
profit. The more he conceals his
methods, the more pains he takes
to pretend public service, the worse
he Is.
But there are other forms of
profiteering besides money making
Any man who uses the war for, his
personal advantage is profiteer
Bernard Shaw splitting tawdry cpl
grams on the principles that boys
are dying for is as much a prohteer
as the grocer who overcharges his
customers.
The employer of labor who at
tempts to enforce the "open shop"
and tfVs labor union bodies who take
advantage Of war conditions to or
der strikes for a closed shop" are
equally profiteers. Any man who
looks upon the war as an opportun-
ity to increase his personal or poll
teal prestige, TO promote the aims
of sectionalism, to forward political
ideas which the public would not
accept in times of peace, to get the
people of this country "out OF STEP"
is a profiteer.
The spite tax legislation Of Claude
Kitchin Is profiteering. The presi-
Dental booms of half a dozen men
in Washington are proflteering of a
very bad and dangerous sort. Play
ing cheap politics, giving offices to
incompetent men, refusing to give
Office to competent men in the gov
eminent Of the smallest village
these are All profiteering. Those who
engage in IL are referred to the
familiar words of Mark wifi: 3e.

URGES FARMERS
ACQUIRE ART OF
PUBLIC SPEAKING

r. Mckenzie, secretary of the
Canadian Council OF Agriculture
outlined the work done by that
organization among the farmers in
Canada before a large audience OF
farmers attending the Tri-state
Grain & Stock Growers association
at the closing session OF the conven-
ton today.
The cooperative movement among
the Canadian farmers, known as the
Grain Growers movement came into
existence In the prairie provinces, in
which its operations were confined
until the last few years, in 1902, Mr..
Mckenzie said. The organization, he
said was formed to forward the
interests of the Grain Growers in
every honorable and legitimate way,
and to watch legislation relating to
the Grain Growers interests,
particularly that affecting the mar
keting grading and transportation of
their grain. Among other things
the organization was formed for MIR.
Mckenzie said were:
ITO suggest to parliament from
time to time as il found 1t necessary
through duly appointed delegates,
the passing VI any AlOW AS5ASAdbAOAA "
meet changing conditions and re-
Quirements.
ITO establish libraries, literary So
cieties, reading rooms, arrange lee
lures and to further extend the
knowledge Of the members and their
families along economic and social
lines, with a view Of elevating the
standard of living in rural communi-
ties.
ITO encourage members to provide
suitable halls, or meeting places and
properly equip and furnish the same
for the social and educational bene-
fits of the members.
ITO foster and encourage the CO.
operative method of distribution of
farm products, and the supplying of
staple commodities"
-sympathizers Barred.
It's constitution, he said, provides
for admission into membership any
one in sympathy with the movement.
The only persons refused member
ship he said We're elevator owners,
shippers or dealers in grain. Much
emphasis he said was laid on the
creating of community spirit, collao-
tive buying Of commodities and the
cooperating in the shipment Oh
products. No distinction is made in
membership as to race, language,
religion or politics.
One of the reasons the farmers
have to take second place in all
matters of public business is Mr..
Mckenzie said was they have not
acquired the art of public speak
ing.
1--WE believe" he continued, that
if our farmers ate going to take the
place that properly belongs to them
and which the Importance of their
calling entities them to in public af-
fairs they have to fit themselves for
these positions and no medium is
better adapted for that purpose than
the local meetings of the Grain
drawers association, and participa-
ton in the discussions at our annual
conventions"

entertain the thought that they
would be willing to have the rest
of the population do all the fight
ing in this struggle in the de-
Tense of our rights and for world
freedom. The farmers them
selves as a whole would resent
the intimatlon. If farmers were
exempted as a class, obviously
others would feel the injustice
of such action.
The Hettinger County Herald has
the following comment on the seeC
Each day that brings us nearer
to seeding timC makes more APP
parent the need Of financial aid
for farmers if the New England
territory is to keep up it's record
for producing crops TO assist in
feeding the world and doing it's
part in winning the war.
Every farmer should make his
plans and know right now just
what he can do in planting time.
Those who expect to get finan-
cial assistance from banks next
spring might do well to see their
bankers right now and learn
what they will be able to do.
The real facts in the case are
that the banks of this part of the
country are in about as bad
shape as the farmers. Most of
them have borrowed their limit.
These are war times. Money Is
scarce and hard TO get. When
bank loans all that its reserve
will stand, it has to quit loaning
money. II 1t fails to keep a suf-
ficient reserve the state can put
it out of business.
The Herald advises farmers
who are planning upon getting
assistance from a bank to find
out at once If they are going to
be able to borrow money.
If a farmer must have financial
help and his banker can't help
him, he should not feel ashamed
to ask the county to furnish seed
or feed.
1t is his patriotic duty to pro-
duce the crops to feed our fight
ing men. 1t is the patriotic duty
of the county commissioners to
use the credit of the county for
the use Of the producers.
The farmer is a self-reliant in
dividual and not inclined to seek
advice or to ask for aid, but in
this emergency there are things
which can be done for him and
which ought to be done for him
as a matter of simple justice and
especially as a matter Of nation
al need.

According to Mr.. Borchert of

Cass, Rolette, Foster, Sheridan ana
Dunn counties, and he has secured,
with MIR. Richards, months leave
Of absence from work In their coun-

ment with the farmers.
II believe that it will be but a
short time before every county in
the state will have one or two better
farming agents" said Mr.. Borchert.

FAITHFUL EVEN IN DEATH.

There Is bitter irony in the death
by pneumonia of Maj Augustus p.
Gardner, former congressman.
AS a member Of Congress, Mr..
Gardner was known as the father OF
the preparedness movement. Long
before America entered the war, he
flayed the administration for its lack
Of preparedness, and its failure to
see the nations danger. He bordered
on the fanatical in his denunCiation
Of the country's failure to awaken
to the menace of the war and make
ready for anything that might hap
pen.
When war came to America, he
proved his mettle by resignlng his
seat in Congress to enter the coun-
try's fighting forces as a colonel.
Later, at his own request, he was
reduced in rank to major in order
that he might stand a better chance
Of getting to the front with General
Pershing. His career came to an I'M
timely and tragic end by his death
from pneumonia contracted in an
army training camp.
There can be little doubt but that
he was a victim Of the very unpre-
.paredness against which he preached
SO vehemently. The conditions in
the hastily constructed camps
brought on the epidemic which
claimed Augustus p. Gardner as one
of its victims.
Whatever views one may hold on
the policy Mr.. Gardner fought for,
nobody can withhold from him the
tribute paid to unflinching courage
and absolute fafthfulness to the eau
Of duty.
