Summer 1oi4-and the world wal

the glad business Of every day. God
looked down from Heaven and was
pleased.
Gentle breezes famed the swsyins
fields Of grain; the world hummed
with the pleasing sound Of bees and
birds and laughing girls.

There was another man who lived
in a palace in Berlin. He was twice

a prince. nine times a eount-bcsides
being a bishop-william Of Hohen-
zollern, King Of Prussia, Emperor Of
Germany.
The blacksmith Of Louvain was q
better man than the Hohenzollern.
The blacksmith owned but two suits
OF clothes, one for work and one for
the Sabbath. The Kaiser owned three
hundred and sixty-six.
August LIST, 1914. and william Of
Hohenzollern spoke the word that set
the world afre; came the crash, H.
tanic, colossal-staggering
Joy died. hope fed, desolation be-
came supreme.
Upon that day the world passed
into twilight.
The baneful autocraey Of Prussia
had spoken. An autocrscy Of hate
which for decades had been deceiving
a great people. poisoning their minds.
preaching the virtue and necessity Of
war; had applied the torch Of De-
vastation.
By a trick Of circumstances the
veal Of mankind was placed for a
moment in the hand Of an arrant ego
list, tyrant. madman--William Of
Hohenzollern. The greatest crime in
all history was perpetrated that ONE
man might find for HIMSELF a place
in the sun.
Blinded by the Gods, there flashed
forth in the mind Of this one man. a
madness. a faulty, n mania fatal,
malignant, satanic.
From beyond the dim horizon be-
gan the tireless thudding Of guns.
The rich fields. the peaceful farm,
the busy city became the barracks.

Then same the master crime. An
unoffending crime. An unofending
people was ground into extinction be-
meath an iron heel. a nation was de-
stroyed. the crime against Belgium
completed to its fullest: the Prussian
stalked onward with his twin com
rades, Frightfulness and Horror. Al

the Beast.
There was another man who lived
in a White House. The Chief and
Spokesman Of n Great Nation that

HOLD YOUR BONDS.

{: What will happen to United States bonds
when the Allies win the war, was disclosed
during the last week, when the first issue
Of Liberty bonds sold above par.
The news Of the Allied victories created
an immediate demand for the 3113 per cents,
which appear to be the favorites with in
yestors because Of the fact they are exempt
from taxation, and they commanded pre-
imium Thursday on the New York stock ex-
change.
The most despicable type Of CRATER these
days is the man who tries to persuade the
owners of bonds to sell them at discount
1t was reported that the soldiers at the
training camps were being offered $40 for
a. $50 bond. United States bonds are worth
par or they are worth nothing.
8 Don t sell them. Don't use them in max
ing purchases for this defeats the purpose
Of the government. Hold them for an in
vestment until after the war at least An
Allied victory-and there can be no other
Outcome-will make the bonds worth more
than thetr'face value.

War Brings a Religious

From The Chicago Herald Examiner:
War and its attendant sorrows always bring
changes-changes in our mode Of living, changes
In our daily tasks and changes in our channels
Of thought. Recent days, with their casualty
lists for us here at home, their blue stars be-
coming transfigured into gold and their vacant
chairs at the family board have brought with
them a noticeable turning to the Book Of Com
fort on the part. Of many Of our people.
Recent observation tends to show such Is the
case in the hOmes-and in public places well.
The other afternoon a young woman Of 10 or 20
might have been observed riding home
crowded elevated train, seemingly as interested
in the copy Of the Bible she was reading as the
other tired, sWeltering workers near her were in
the newspapers and magazines they were read
ing.
A service flag pin, with lone blue star for
the brother or mayhap, the sweetheart or hus-
band over there" was visible over the young
Woman's heart. In the book she had chosen for
her companion on the way to work and back
that sultry day she doubtless found comfort in
the words Greater love hath no man than this
that a man lay down his life for his friend.
AS she read she must have pictured in her
minds eye the gallant manly American brother
sweetheart husband in whose honor she
wore the blue star doing, or at least offering to
DO that very thing-lay down his life for the
friend in France whose ancestors had laid down
their lives for Americans.
She doubtless encountered well-and
thought Of the boys in khaki and blue who have
taken up the battle of humanity by the side Of
the French, the British, the Canadians, the
Italians and the other allies-"whither thou
people and thy God my Cod. 'f''' 0''''l - ''''
Later the same evening couple-both "along
in the forties"-night have been observed on
loop-bound surface car, the woman intenty
reading Bible.
Rather an odd coincidence for big, busy
busting Chicago-going to prove that mems and
womens minds are turning these days to the
keeper in whose hands ARE all the corners of the
earth"
The woman on the loop bound car, so in
terested in the book which through life had
given her strength to raise well the boy she
has now given to her country must have found
new comfort as she read.
Surely the times and observations such as are
here recorded seem to point to a new religious
awakening.

Crop Double Last
Year. On Slope

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 12.--While no
wheat has been threshed in central
North Dakota, conservative estimates
place the probable yield at all the
way from eight bushels to 20 bushels
to the acre, with a probable average
Of 10 to Is bushels in this in4medi-
ate vicinity. In some sections OF the
Slope the harvest will no go over
eight bushels to the acre, and in rare
instances it will fall as low as five
and six. This is in regions where the
grasshopper pest added its work to
that of the drouth. The general ave
rage for the whole Slope, however, is
expected to be almost double that OF
a, year ago, and most OF the fields
which have been cut and shocked
have revealed some welcome sur
prises. ~ @
State officials and Bismarck bust
ness men who last evening shocked
a. big field on the Walter Sellers
farm, northwest of the city, say 1t
viii easily run 20 bushels to the acre.
They declare it one OF the finest
stands Of wheat they have ever seen
In this county. There are many like
ii, even in Burleigh, which was in
the heart OF the drouth belt this sum-
rner. State Treasurer John Steens
returning from his big farm at Rugby
where the drouth was severe and ex-
tended estimates a yield Of eight to
ten bushels OF wheat. Rye thresh-
ing in this county is running IL and
13 bushels to the acre on big tracts.
Hail damage is comparatively rare
and confined to narrow strips.

of the United Mine Workers of Am
erica, James Murphy, president OF
the Burlington local union, and Ed
ward Boyd, auditor Of the Burlington
local, returned last night from Bill
ings, Mont, where they had attend
ed the Montana North Dakota dis
trict convention, in which for the
first time organized miners Of North
Dakota were represented, through
the efforts Of Mr.. Pascoe.
The cenevntion was attended by As
delegates, representing 20 locals.
From North Dakota Wilton sent
three delegates, Burlington two,
Kenmare one and Williston one. A
feature Of the convention was the
adoption OF resolutions pledging
anew the answering loyalty of the
United Mine Workers to President
Wilson.
Loyal to a Man.
sour position in the war should
be one of answering loyalty and
devotion to the aims and purposes
Of our country. There must be no
halfway allegiance on the part CT
the coal-miners in giving the best
that is in them for the preservation
Of the ideals and principles of a
democratic people-for the preserva-
ton of those concepts of life and
labor on which our great movement
is founded" reads the introduction
to the set Of resolutions which were
forwarded to President Wilson, Sec
rotary Of War Baker and other men,
bers of the national administration.

wrPNG OUT IMAGINARY LINE.

All distinction between the ''regulars, !"
PEhe National Guard and the National Army
soon will disappear, according to rumors
from Washington.
- All three branches Of the American army
are to be welded together to form the
"United States Army" it is reported, al
though not yet confirmed officially.
Up to this time the line Of demarkation
between the three branches of the army
has been rather rigidly observed in forming
divisions. Thus the Rainbow and Sunset
divisions are composed almost entirely Of
guardsmen.
: The proposed step would appear, to CT
william, to be wise one. The reasons for
the differentiation are gradually disap-
pearing. All of the men had to learn a new
style of fighting when they reached
France, and the line between the three or
CARNATIONS is rapidly becoming an inagin-
airy one.

The North WEEDS The South

Many Northern Soldiers Are Getting Brides in
Dixie.
Littell McClung in The Outlook:
While southern young men In large numbers
have gone north and have married northern girls
comparatively few northern men have married
southern women. The cause, Of course is that
not many young have come south. But
now, with the southern cantonments and camps
bringing hundreds Of thousands Of young north
south, the order is rather reversed, and
the north Is marrying the south. ..
1t is surprising just how many southern girls
are marrying northern soldiers, and the indica-
tions that the proportions will increase with
another winter Of northern boys in Dixie camps
because men. are becoming pretty scarce these
days except near camps and environments.
Plans for after the generally include one
Of two intentions-either the wives will go up
north to the husbands home community, where
the husband will engage in business or they will
some land and begin farming. The latter is the
plan of a number Of the couples. In the camps
are many boys who are or were, farmers. They
seem to know land values pretty well and they
are impressed with the low prices at which good
land can be bought near cantonment cities. The
percentage of these men has been a pleasant
surprise to the various communities Individuals
and chambers OF commerce have taken these men
out over farm lands and many Of the soldiers go
Of their own accord, stopping at the various
farms to study the crops and yields and live
stock possibilities. The parents of some of the
men have already come down and bought land
It is certain that this continuous marrying of
the southern girls by northern soldiers and the
interest shown by many of the men in farm
ing possibilities in the south will weld this con
try together never before. While the north
and the south long ago shook hands in brother
hood, and while they have traded with each other
and visited each other and tried to get each
others, viewpoints through more than a genera
ton, they have not exactly married each other,
That they are marrying today Is surely most
significant when it is generally realized that
blood ties are stronger and more lasting than
any other bonds.
