The Whippet Described.

In naval sense, the usual tanks or
landships, whether they be British,
French or German, have heretofore
been Of the battleship type-that is to
say, they have been slow moving,
heavily armored and powerfully armed
craft, meant rather to stand up and
fight to a finish than to dash in and
out Of a combat and to depend on
quickness of movement as the main
weapon. But in breaking. up the pur-
suing bands of infantryme in the open
there has been distinct call for a
destroyer type Of tank one that could
travel at a comparatively high rate of
speed and that possessed higher or
der Of mobility in general.
To the British, the originators of the
tank idea, has remained the further
honor Of developing tank Of the fast
destroyer type. This type, known as
the whippet, has already made it's ap-
pearance on the battlefield in recent
open fighting, and its debut has been
crowned with success. The whippet
has caterpillar treads Of the usual de-
sign, arranged on either side of sort
of fatcar body. On the platform of
the fatcar is mounted a single turret
which houses the crew and the several
machine guns with which the whippet
is armed. The flatcar body measures
10 feet in length, while the turret is
six feet in height. The engine is
placed at the rear Of the gun turret in
separate armored housing.
It appears that the whippet tank can
readily make II miles an hour, and a
fully equipped Teuton infantryman
can hardly hope to maintain that speed
for a prolonged period Scientific

What Have They, Got?


It is estimated by the Isanti News
that over $4,000, at $1,000 per, was
collected from the members Of the
Nonpartisan league in 1santi county.
The News reasons that if that amount
of money had been invested in cream
cries, potato warehouses or flour
mill much good might have been ac-
complished, and the farmers would
have received dividends on the invest
ments. As it is the sixteen dollar do
majors have nothing to show for their
money. Yes, they have. The News
asserts that one fellow in that county
who could barely feed and clothe his
family before he went to work as an
organizer for the league now has
property for which he paid $4,000,
wears good Clothes and lives on the
fat Of the land, and has money to
burn. 3

Stand With the Tolerant and Broad

1t was remarked by Macauley that
when feeling runs high and parties
align on any question, moral, religious,
political or economic, the best men on
both sides are to be found nearest to
the dividing frontier. The extremists
of all the factions always injure and
often bring discredit on the cause
which they espouse. Few things are
better established than this, and recur-
ring evidence thereof is found in the
history Of every nation. It is prin-
ciple of nature; and as the temperate
zone separates climes which burn or
freeze, so wisdom holds the debatable
middle ground between the bitter and
violent extremes, and virtue is only a
lust temper between propensities
which are vices when INDUCED in to
excess. Even Deifc perfection, as
Halifax argued in defending the toler-
ant via media he always sought to fol-
low, is only the equilibrium of attrib-
utes no one Of which could preponder-
ate without disturbing the moral and
physical order Of the world.

Get the Roads in Good Condition.
There has been considerable money
available for the maintenance Of state
roads in Mile Laos county this year
but somehow or other we are not get
ting results the roads are not being
properly maintained, at least not in
the south end Of the county. This con-
dition of affairs must be remedied.
For, as the Union has repeatedly re-
iterated, it is waste of money to con-
struct piece Of good road and not
properly maintain it.
The stretches of rock-surfaced road
within the village limits need little
attention also. A few loads of the
right kind of gravel, properly applied,
is all that is necessary.
A special effort should be made to
get all the roads in good condition be-
fore the heavy fall hauling sets in.
