To the maker of the scenario and
the director go also substantial
share of the credit for the pictures
success. Every detail is handled with
skill. and a refreshing disregard of
how the other fellow did it. The
South American atmosphere, the bat

the production bear the stamp of au-

BE ON YOUR GUARD!
Farmers Warned of Possible Attempt
to Destroy Grain Crops.

r f. Following is the text of the circu-
lar issued by the committee on pre-
vention of animal diseases and crop
pests of the st. James Council of De
fense, to which reference was made
in the communication from Police
Juror j. G. Nargassans of this parish
published in last weeks issue of the
Chief:
"On account of information re-
ceived from Washington to the effect
that poisonous pollen is being pre-
pared by the German government for
the, purpose of being used in this
country to destroy our grain crops,
thistcommittee of the st. James Par
ish Council of Defense urges every
| planter, farmer, gardener and stock
raiser to be on his guard against that
danger.
I'VE recommend that all planters,
farmers, gardeners and stock raisers
redouble their vigilance and prevent
all strangers, vagrants and other peo-
pie who cannot give, good account
of themselves from having access to
their fields and water supply, and that
they cause the immediate arrest and
trial as vagrants of any parties found
on their premises or places having no
business there.
"We recoramend further that the
planters, ETC., survey their crops at
intervals more frequent than usual
and more carefully and minutely than
ever before, and that the moment they
notice any deterioration that cannot
be accounted for from natural and
usual causes, they Immediately report
the same to either the chairman of
this committee, j. N Smith, Gram
ercy, La; the chairman of the parish
council of defense, DR.. j. E. Doussan,
Lutcher, La, or Sheriff Jos. B. Dor
nier, Convent, La, who will take the
necessary steps under the circun1-
stances. ,sM soy. e
"We recommend that both the po-
lice jury and the board of aldermen
at Lutcher-enforce more strictly the
vagrancy laws, if same are on their
statute books, and if they are not,
that they lose no time in placing them
there and enforcing them, as request
ed, and that the proper authorities
notify all officers charged
with the execution of the laws to act
accordingly. By this paragraph, we
mean that every stranger coming into
our midst should give good account
of himself.
"We request those in charge to ex-
ercise greater vigilance than ever in
the use Of the railroad
right Of way as public highway BY
strangers, to detain any whom they
have reason to suspect, and TO report

"Incidentally, we recommend that
our congressman and senator's take
the position that the department of
Justice should resort to the most
rigorous and drastic means to ahate
The danger accruing to us from Ger

in order that we, ourselves, may be re

that problem in less legal, but per-
haps in more effective manner.
1--WE suggest that these recon-
mendations be read from the pulpit in

the churchman may deem proper to

that a copy Of them be sent to the po-
lice jury, the board of aldermen of

Senators Ransdell and Broussard, and
that they be published in the parish
press, and attention called to them in
both the English and French Ian

meeting held in this parish, reference
be made to this danger.

Socialist platform of year ago had been
followed by the entire nation9 Without
American money, American supplies and
American soldiers, the Germans probably
would have broken through to Paris or the

might have been annihilated before this,

that the conquered British feet added to

THE KU KLUX KHAN.

To northerners, the sight Of $50 white
robed horsemen riding down the street of
a city, would carry no special significance.
But when $50 citizens Of Birmingham,
clad in the robes Of the Ku Klux Khan,
rode through the streets, it must have
brought a food of fearful memories to the
men of the older generation.
The Ku Klux Khan began with high pat
riotic principles, and with aims that were
above criticism. 1t degenerated into an
organization Of hoodlums and rowdies Of
the most degraded type. It was used to
fight private quarrels and wreak private
vengeance. ~.-s
There has not yet been any occasion in
America for the revival Of the Ku Klux
Khan or any organization Of similar pur-
poses. IL there had been any such occa-
sion, it would have been removed by the
passage of the new sedition bill, which
gives the department Of justice most
powerful weapon to use against the dis
loyal. Patriotic organizations which may
have been drifting toward the Ku Klux
Khan in their methods, will find far
greater field for usefulness in backing up
the enforcement of the sedition law to the
fullest measure.

THE TREND OF THE TIMES.

AS straw showing the direction of the
wind, might be cited the stand taken this
week by The Ward County Independent,
published at Minot.
The Independent claims to have the
largest circulation of any North Dakota
weekly newspaper. It has been more or
less neutral on league affairs, but it has
been growing more and more restless un-
der the Townley regime, and finally kick
ed over the traces this week. Here is a
brief excerpt from it's editorial on Clown
leyism":
There number OF excellent reasons
why ToWney should be dropped like hot
brick. In the first place, we would not want
to tie to" man OF his calber If the dis .
loyal remarks which he is charged with
making are true, and we have not been in
formed that he has been able to refute
those charges We know that there is no
disloyalty among the rank and file of the
league. but mind is quite clear as to
Mr. Townleys attitude. We should not care
to enlist under the banner of a leader who
has taken 1t upon himself to place unlimited
power in his own hands. We believe that
the Consumers United Store scheme. which
has placed hundreds of thousands of dollars
in Mr.. TownleYs own hands. is going to be
his undoing We believe that man who
advocates the passage Of such measure as
House Bill "A Is not a safe man for leader.
While the Independent stand is of
some Importance in itself, it is chiefly in
teresting as showing the trend Of public
opinion. The time when decent citizens
have to take all manner Of abuse and be
branded "enemies of the farmer" for re-
fusing to permit the state to be turned
over to band of carpet-baggers, is past.

Other Mems Views

The New York World: Representing great
maritime state like North Dakota. on whose
rock bound coasts the briny pillows break
ceasingly and in whose spacious harbors ride
the armament and commerce Of world, it seems
to us very strange that Senator McCumber
should speak In such disparaging terms as he
does Of ship construction on national account.
Referring loftily to the Emergency Fleet cor
poration's promise Of production in 1919, North
Dakota's representative in the admiralty says
that a shipbuilding program contemplating only
10,000000 new tonnage in one year lis trifing
with the most serious question that ever con-
fronted the people Of this country. 1t is worse
than trifings 1t is suicidal"
When we have to deal with particular inter
ests like those OF shipping In North Dakota we
must always make allowances, OF course. for
local prejudice, but why should an old sea CAPE
tain like Mr.. McCumber complain of Amer
lean output of 100000 lightweight tons in
one year when In 1914 the gross tonnage of
Great Britain, mistress Of the seas. amounted to
no more than 100000 tons and the entire allied
and neutral tonnage did not exceed $4,000 ,0002
We fear that national control OF shipbuilding
and operation has given North Dakota some
weird ideas 81 var and shipping. SIS Weil as of

REVERSING THE SITUATION.

Everyone knows the avidity with which
political news or news Of war activities
in the Central Empires, is consumed by
American newspaper readers.
It is interesting to reverse the positions,
and try to calculate the effect Of the news
the German people have been getting from
America this week providing, of course,
they arc allowed to read it.
Here are some samples:
"The Third American Liberty Loan was
more than a billion dollars oversub-
scribed."
!. "The American secretary Of war has
asked for permission to send an unlimited
number of men to France, and will get it. -
"The United States plans to have an
army of 100000 men in France this year,
with enough men in training to replace
all losses"
"The American wheat crop may be
billion bushels, or enough to feed all the
Allied nations without skimping."
1.-THE President has been given full
blanket authority to reorganize the gov
eminent in any way he sees fit, in order
to prosecute the war in the most vigorous
way possible"
Congress is considering an appropri-
alton of one billion dollars for more air
planes, quantity production of which is
just being achieved"
"The American shipbuilding program
has taken a most decided squirt, and a re-
cent investigator reported the most amaz-
ing progress.
American troops are being sent to
France at three times the rate contem-
plated six months ago."
"The draft law has been amended to
include all youths coming Of age, and
these are expected to supply all the men
needed without raising the age limit. "
American labor has proved SO loyal
that the Socialist party has been threaten
ed with extinction, and is forced to con-
slider changing it's stand against the war. "
If such grist Of news came from Ger
many within the course of one or two
weeks, the American "defeatists would
lie down and expire from sheer fright.
