"A phophct 10 not without honor,
save in his own country and among
his own people,"
That was said by wise man thou
sands Of years ago and it's as true to-
day as it was then.
But Americans have proven a good
many times that they are big enough
to show a man that he is appreciated
before the time has come to strew
his graves with flowers, or before the
people of other lands have seen his
unusual qualities, or even before
those of FUTURE generation sud
denly discovered them. .
Woodrow Wilson has fired the
hearts of all Europe. His birthday
will be celebrated in far more con-
spicuous fashion than Americans can
easily imagine-for the Europeans are
great when it comes to fetes and fes-
tive occasions.
We're very much afraid of 'siopping
over'--we hate to show our emotions.
Europeans aren't, ashamed of their
fee'ings--and they'll give Woodrow
Wilson the time Of his life-if he'll let
them.
And while all this 10 going on, lets
show them that America isn't q bit
behind In honoring the man who has
borne the brunt Of the battle in this
country.

IT'S THE BIRTHDAY OF THE
WORLDS FIRST CITIZEN

President Wilson is recognized as
the originator of the phrase-"Let us
make the world safe for democracy"
This, phrase will go down in history
with similar sayings Of great men in
grave crises.
And century from today Woodrow
Wilson will stand out in America even
more prominently az . statssnan ard
a world-leader than he does today.
II he has made mistakes the world
will forgiev them. 1t will remember
only the big things he has done. Prob
ably no American will loom larger In
European history than he.
Born in a humble Presbyterian
preachers home, he fought his way
to the greatest position occupied by
any living man-for to be president of
the United States Is to be the worlds
first citizen. Throughout his career
he has been an enthusiastic exponent
of democracy.
This will be- his chief glory.
Every loyal American will help eel
ebrate Woodrow Wilson's birthday.
And one of the great lessons that
should come home to every one Of us
today is that down to the last man
Of us we need to stand true and
square to the high ideals given to us
by the man whom ave honor In our
own land - he IL bsing honored BY
our friends and allies "over there"

FILLING UP FOR

Early Birds Here on Outlook for
Possibly Juicy Worms from i.

MANAGERS STILL ABSENT
Lemke, LeSueur, Bowen ct al

Resume Caucus.

Hotel lobbies of the city are be-
ginning to assume an assembly ap.
pearance. Here and there in all of
the hOstelries will be found little
groups of politicians, legislators, in
coming state-officials, party managers
and hangers-on. There has been no
general thrush such as was common
in the old days in advance of a legis-
lative assembly, but the number Of
visitors is sufficient to apprise every
one that something Is coming off.
There will be no general advance
arrival Of legislators to 90 over the
budget, such as was common before
the days OF the budget committee. The
budget committee has been engaged
for several weeks past in touring state
institutions, consulting managers of
the various establishments, and pre-
pairing for the consideration OF the as.
sembly accurate data. The general
budget bill will be presented by this
committee. The assembly may do
some weird things to 1t, and in all
probability its passage will be finally
rushed through in the closing hours of
the session, but at the Eorst 1t will
be something better than the piece
meal omnibus appropriation bill Of
the good old days.

a Fargo interview that the leagues

REDCIOTHING FOR
POOR COMES AFTER
SALVATION APPEAL

81 have never served in town
where the response to every appeal
for aid was prompter or finer" said
Ensign J. c. Bell of the Salvation
army this morning in advising that
as a result of the recent notice in The
Tribune stating that bed coverings
were needed for poor families he had
received q liberal supply of fine
quilts. The principal donor was Mrs.
Mollie Eppinger, who took care of the
needs of one family which was facing
the winter without bed clothing with
which to keep its little tots warm at
night.
II had charge of charity work in
Minneapolis for a time, and l found
the people there very generous, but l
have never yet been in place where
an appeal could be made one evening
and the response be depended upon
the following morning. That has
been the practice in Bismarck, and
think we can compliment ourselves
on having q mighty fine little city
peopled with real Christians" -

BISMARCK WINS
FIGHTING GAME
FROM GLENDlYE
Capital City Boys Show True
Sportsmanship, Wrestling
Victory From Defeat.

Coming up from behind in the sec
ond half and fighting every inch OF
the way, Bismarck high last evening
turned defeat into victory and switch
ed a first half tally of 9 to in favor
of Glendive into a finad 23 to Is tri
umph for the capital city boys. No
finer demonstration OF pluck and
fighting spirit and come-backability
ever has been seen on the local gymn
floor, and the bismarck alumni who
made up a large proportion Of last
nights big crowd Of fans gave the
boys the support and encouragement
which they deserved.
The victory was an agreeable sur
prise for many Bismarck fans. De
cause the capital city high has team
this year which does not include q
single veteran. The long setge Of
flu with its enforced vacation robbed
the boys of any chance to work out
during the first half of the year, and
the quint had only appeared in one
game during the entire season. Then
they went up against q bunch OF old
warhorses from Mandan and lost. Il
will be interesting to Bismarck fol
lowers of the game to see what hap
pens when ,Mandan and Glendive meet
on the formers home floor this even
ing.
Menke starred last night for the Wis
itors. Among the Bismarck boys each
did his part. There was excellent
teamwork. and at no time during the
gruelling battle did the capital men
lose their heads. Ericsson of Mandan
refereed, doing very good work and
keeping the men up on their toes and
mooving. A feature of the game was
the fact that all Of the scoring on
each side was done by two men.

And what is the reason for

Simply this:
"Pork, ham, bacon, ard, con-
densed mill, and butter can be
shipped in concentrated space
to feed the undcr-nour,shed
women and children in, stricken
countries-to feed our own fight
ing men and the men of our Allies
who arc fighting in our defense.
WITH these compelling facts
w in mind, IS IT not a clear duty
to put patriotism above cooking
customs and use the nutritious,
economical vegetable Fats which :
nature has abundantly supplied?

THAT is the direct appeal Of
Il your Government. Ii calls
for no sacrifice on your part.
No sacrifice Of ngtrimeaf
because vegetable fats arc rich,
wholesome and pure.
No sacrifice in economy be-
cause vegetable fats cost less
than butter or lard.
The only change you arc
asked to make is a 5hghs changc
in the scay you cOOk-the shorten
ing you use.
Fortunately, the country has
right at hand an abundant supply
of nutritious vegetable fats-of
which Cottolene is well-known
and dependable example.
The change from lard and
butter to vegetable fats IS both
simple and patriotic. Cottolene
meets the needs of wholesome
cooking, the requirements of
economy, the wishes Of the
Government.

DOLLAR DAY
THURSDAY

For one day-Thursday-- dollar Is
going back to its before the war pur-

1t is the annual Dollar Day for which
Hammond merchants have established a
countrywide reputation. Crowds of shop
pers will come from every part of the
county and from the nearby towns
across the state line to participate In
the greatest bargain fair Of the year.
Dollar Day is shopping festival and
the merchants of the city make real
profit sacrifices. Prices are so attractive
that shoppers who take advantage of
one Dollar Day never fail to be on hand
the next time.
I'VE expect to have a great crowd
here Thursday" said one Hammond
merchant today. There is great inter
est manifested in Dollar Day, not only
in Hammond but in the county as well.
People are looking for bargains at this
time as never before. Economy is the
watchword of the day and people know
that they can make a dollar go a long
ways in Hammond Thursday.
Everything points to a very success
full Dollar Day both in the number of
people that will attend and the bargains
offered
