We have no disposition to mini

the Vaccinations OF the enemy
in this country. from the TACT
that his readiest tools are not aliens
but citizens OF this country. The
alien Is an easy person to watch. but
the tratitorous citizen sometimes
battles the best efforts of the police.
And. hufmiliating as II Is to admit H.
we have a number of these. Some OF

They do not like the practice OF

They do not like folks to learn

Americas exports have again set
a high record, having. according to
the report OF the department OF COM
merce. passed the s6.000,0o0.000
mark In 1917. With imports OF less
than $4,000. 900. 900. this leaves our
balance OF trade slightly more than
$4,000. 100000.
II there Is an American who has
heretofore doubted our ability to de-
feat Germany from a financial stand
point. a sight OF these figures should
convince him OF his error. The
United States is the great creditor
nation OF the world today. The pre-
parations that have been made for
the struggle have scarcely scratch
ed the edge OF our resources.
And the encouraging feature OF
the situation Is that the possessors
OF all this vast wealth are unstinted-

autocracy and kaiserism. with all the

MuI.ADY's HAT THIS SPRING.

The commandments this season
are entirely new. Inexpensiyeness
looms up as vital consideration
and the problem OF selecting spring
hat assumes a different aspect. To
quote from an article In the February
Good Housekeeping:
"As In previous seasons the first
dictates OF fashion are small. close
fitting turbans of satin: some are not
unlike Oriental headdresses In their
conformity to the head, while others
feature brims In a fascinating and
wholly new manner. Some small hats
are popular with brlm turned down
over the face with the effect OF an
eyeshade, probably designed by the
French SO that they might escape
by turn OF the head some OF the
horrors OF the war that surround
them. Many OF these little hats have
the brim rolling upward in the back
too. so that whatever way hat brims
are blown by the winds OF fashion,
the owner OF such one ia alwaya
certain TO be In style"

"Conservatlon" Is the slogan OF
the American people, and It Is good
slogan. But It should apply to the
government as well as 20 the citizens
Although doubtless our officials at
Washington are doing their utmost
In this direction, yet there is In the
rank and file Of government en-
ployees, large room for Improvement.
Some months ago when the food
conservation campaign opened. there
was appointed In a certain state a
publicity agent who proudly announ-
ced that he had left his own bust
ness In the hands of employees while
he served his country without pay.
His first act was to dispatch teie-
grams to every newspaper In the
state. calling attention to the nee
essity OF cooperating with the gov
ernment, and urging the support OF
the paper to the fight for food con-
seryation. No sane man can doubt
that every one OF these kilograms
were paid for by the government at
full rates. when two-cent stamp
would have taken each one. and got
ten II to its destination In twenty
four hours.
There Is such thing as Saving
at the spigot and wasting at the

is the bung and cannot be watched

They had taken French leave from

weeks. the North Dakota council of
defense has finally adopted a resolu-

the beginning of the present session,
however. that formal action had not
been taken and Assistant Attorney

advisor, was directed to prepare q
resolution. AS adopted. the resolu.
ton requires 4S hours productive

and SO and declares a vagrant any
person within these ages who does
not do his bit. The resolution is ex.

Indians Are Great
Donators To War Fund

Mandan, N. D., July 11.-Parties
from Mandan and other places on the
Slope who attended the Fourth of
July celebration at Cannon Ball on
the reservation say that it eclipsed
anything ever held there, and there
have been some big doings among the
Sioux Indians. The celebration was
the Fourth. In addition to Indians
from all over the Standing Rock res
ervation there were many from Fort
Berthold as we'll as from the Montana
reservations, and many white people.
Mrs. A. B. WEIGH of this city who

how gladly the Indians received Cor
poral Arlington who gave them his
famous war address which was heard
by Mandan people at the Palace
theatcr last week. The Indians made
him king of the day and after his
speech they decorated him with one
Of their eagle feather war bonnets

purse Of SO. because they felt sorry
for his being badly wounded.
Former Governor Devine made q
splendid address on July S and he
was presented with bead work. The
days were spent in their old time
amusements Of dancing, horse racing,
moccasin races. etc.
The Indians donated literally to
the various war funds in money,
horses and cattle. Some Of The stock
donations have not yet been sold, but
it is estimated that nearly $4,000 was
given by the Sioux, as well as taking
in sass for the Sioux county Red
Cross. Perhaps no class of people
are more proud of having their
youths in the service across the seas
than are Sioux Indians, and they are
giving the most loyal support in Lib
erty bonds, war savings, etc.
