WARNS AGAINST STRIKES
Industrial Trouble May Mean Many
 Lives at Front, Says Britisher.

St Louis. April 3,-Warning that
 the continuance of industrial strife in the United States may mean the need less sacrifice of the lives of American soldiers in France was given today by Charles Duncan, member of the Brit ish Parliament and secretary of the | Workers Union of England, in an
 address before the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce today.
 If the United States wants to play a dominant part in the war, he
 said, "an immediate agreement be- tween the government, labor and cap ital must be made to insure the pro
 luction of supplies
 William Moses, representative of the Labor Supply Department of the British Munitions Ministry, also spoke
 "As this war goes on" he said i you will find that your industrial differences will become worse. We are anxious for the United States to put into effect system that will end this strife at home. You cannot car ry on war of this magnitude unless
 you have industrial peace"
 He said that feeling between labor
 and capital seemed more acute in the
 United States than in England. This lis probably due, he said, to an ab- sence of discipline on the part of la bor, and Q lack of sympathy and open mindedness on the part of employers.

Varieties to Plant.

As to varieties, there are several that do well in our State The Van Denman, Stuart, Schley, Russell and Froehter are all good, and for safety in pollenizing, it may be well to plant several varieties in the same field.

EUROPEAN FOOD CONDITION.

Some Of the Americans now in Europe are unin-
tentionally hinderins our team work. in food-savins by
sending to this country partial facts and incidents which
seem to show that the allied nations are not short OF
food, according to 4 bulletin just issued by the Food
Administration.
The American visitor in Paris is often able to get
pastries and other dainties. and the American soldier
writes home about the hospitality Of French people.
Neither Of them understand nnat the Fzench are putting
their best foot forward, to show, their appreciation OF
Americans. and that the few frns on Partisan life in the
way Of pastry for the Americans count neither one way
nor the other in the great food problem Of France.

rank and hs OF the French people 'live they would write

STILL SILENT ON THE STORES DEAL

If the United Stores deal is the good thing for the
farmer that has been represented to him when his sub
scription has been solicited it surely has merited better
treatment than it has received at the hands Of the Town
ley press. the publicity agency of the founder Of the
scheme. The virtues of the plan should have been pro
claimed from the housetops instead of being peddled
around by word of mouth, which is a slow and tedious
process. Mr., Townley has quite "a string Of newspapers
in North Dakota papers which he controls and whose
policy he directs. Perhaps it was natural that these pa-
pers should make no mention Of the Towney bankruptcy
proceedings, because most men are a little sensitive on
the matter Of insolvency. 1t is not strange, perhaps,
that no mention has been made in the ToxnJey papers
of the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Town
ley for sedition or something equivalent thereto, for the
matter of loyalty to the government is one on when
people are apt to be a little particular. 1t is true that
the facts in regard to these matters have been published
inn the independent press, but Mr.. Townleys followers
have been warned against reading any papers other than
those which have the official Townley o. K. II they
have obeyed this injunction the silence Of the Townley
papers closes every avenue of information to them. and
MIR. Townley's quite natural desire that certain Of his
activities be screened from the observation Of his admir-
ing followers is carried out. -
But this United Stores plan is a different matter.
1t is intended, SO investors are assured, to enable the
farmer to buy goods at a much lower price than he 10
now paying, and at the same time to place in the hands
of Mr.. Townley or his associates a new fund for educa-
tional and propaganda purposes.
What better method could there be to bring this plan
to the attention. OF thbse likely to be specially Interested
Dlan the obvious one of giving it full publicity in the
Townley press? Mr.. Townley has a good many irons in
the fire. Can it be that he has overlooked this one? II
50 his editors should jog his memory. They are working
for the good of the community just as actively and sim
cerely rs he is. Surely they owe a duty to the people in
their immediate vicinites. and that duty is TO acquaint
those people Immediately and thoroughly with the beau
ties Of the stores plan. Fer some unknown reason they
have not risen to the opportunity that is before them.
They are not earning their pay.

(By Burgess johnson 81 the vigilantesD
Once upon a time I visited q house-
hold where family discipline was I'M
known. I do not think it had been
neglected a. a matter OF principle, but
more from oversight, OF because Of
sheer laziness. There were several
Ichildren, and now that l am no longer

that they can accomplish as sindf->

nation has to accomplish a good deal
yet before it can be spared. we must
maintain it as a force to accomplish
a great many things that individuals,
just now cannot bring about.

l believe in national discipline. Cubs

THOSE IMPERIsHABLE B0GlES

An evangelist in Fargo has been taking another
whack at those familiar and imperishable bogies, theater-
going. card playing and dancing, and a reading Of the
accounts Of his addresses convinces one that he enjoyed.
himself thoroughly. It is also fair to conclude that the
famous Knight of the sorrowful Countenance had the time
OF his life in his memorable encounter with the wind
mills OF course, if anyone cannot go to the theater, or
play cards; or dance, with a clear conscience he had
better leave those things alone, at least until lie can
reach that state Of understanding in which he Will ap-
p~reciate that in most affairs of amusement, it is the
manner IN which and the purpose for which a thing is
done that really matters, rather than the thing Itself
the point may be illustrated by . story. In a GER
tain home there were two boys who, because card play
Ing was not permitted there. carried on their games Of
euehre (which was the popular. game at that time and
place tsurreptitiously In q book store their attention
was caught by a new game similar in general appearance
TO- the games Of Authors and others ef that class which
were quite general. This was card game called '.rhe
Came Of Nations" There were So cards in the pack, in
two colors. divided into four groups by continents. A
little study convinced the youngsters that this was mere
" pack Of playing cards In disguise. Thereupon they
bought 1t and p~ractced with it secretly until they be-
came familiar with the changed phraseology. Then
the same was taken boldly into the living room, and the
LADS proceeded in the presence of their elders to enjoy q
sane same ct euehre. With naaps and products instead Of aces
and deuces. Two excellent aunts became Interested in
