new JAP CABINET
IS WELL RECEIVED
BUSINESS INTERESTS ALSO VEL
COME NEW GOVERNMENT

Toxic, Oct. S.-The formation of the
new cabinet has been generally well
received even by rivals of the new re-
CINE, as an unmistakable sign of the
ascendency of the principle of demo-
cracy over that of Oligarchy and Blu
reaucrachy. The last seven premiers
have belonged to the Bureaucracy.
The quickness with which the cab
met organized is considered unpre-
cedented The business interests also
welcome the new government.

MORE WORK FOR BUSY BEES
Artificial Comb, Patented by Woman,
Enables Larger Output by
the Honey Producers.

Undoubtedly the most important in
gention ever produced by a woman was
the machine for making artificial comb
foundation for beehives. The idea was
originated by Frances A. Dunham, who
patented the contr1vance in 1881, says
an exchange.
To produce material for comb build
ing is for the bee very expensive. It
uses up at least ten times as much Of
her gathered products, bulk for bulk,
us is required for honey making.
Hence the obvious economy of provid-
ing her with g ready-made comb Of
beeswax turned out from machine.
Another advantage is that all the
cells of the artificial comb are made
Of "worker" size, so that the eggs laid
in them by the queen bee (the mother
Of the hive) produce workers only and
10 idle drones.
The workers build up the cell walls
on the "ground-door" pattern fur.
nished for them, and (barring those
used for brood purposes) fill them
with honey. Being relieved Of the
bother and expense of making their
own comb foundation, their output Of
money is proportlonately augmented.

From Allie Ritterbush

Dear Folks: There isn't much to
write about but here goes for a little
bit anyhow. We arrived here alright
and had pleasant journey all of the
way. The Red Cross gave us some
cake at both Minneapolis and Chica-
go. Everybody here treats us fine but
so far have not been out anywhere.
The only thing that we have to do
here is dodge work and that is one
thing l don't like. Everybody tries to
see how much he can get out of and
if there isn't different spirit put into
the outfit we never will win this war;
At the training school in Minneapolis
it was different because there you
wanted to work and get ahead, but
since will not be here long it won't
make much difference anyway.
There are couple of boys in this
bunch who have just been married
and they write book every night.
If it affects everyone that way there
is no hope for me because it would
pay person to become an author at
once and quit monkeying with any
other kind of work, profession or
trade. Their faces are so long that
they have to get an extra long mirror
to see to shave with or else do it part
at time.
This part of the country has lot
of negroes so there is no doubt that
you would not like it. In fact saw
more of them Sunday than l did white
folks. In one place the atmosphere
got so black that thought it was 60
ing to rain or have a storm of some
kind.
Saw Jimmy and the rest at the de-
pot just when l left there but not to
talk with any. When got chance to
get off the train before it left they
had gone. Wish that could have
seen them for minute but guess it is
just as we'll that l didn't because
had pretty good time the night be-
fore and were still laughing at me
when went in the gate.
Have you heard from Clarence yet?
l have not heard and probably won't
because it will be pretty hard for a
letter to catch up with me for awhile.
If you are going to write me do so
at once because there is no telling
how long we may be here 1t might
be quite awhile and again it might
not.
Address the letters until tell you
not to the following place:

Senator Mccumber Objects


Washington, July Ex-senator Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, Republican,
speaking in the Senate tonight, de-
clared the data given by the president
in his wheat veto message was erron-
eous and was furnished by persons
who did not have accurate informa-
tion. Taking the present estimate for
the 1918 wheat crop at 9OO,OOO,OOO
bushels, Senator McCumber declared
an increase of twenty cents a bushel
in the price would total $18O,0OO, 900
instead of the presidents estimate of
$685., 100000
The increase per barrel of flour for
which four and one-half bushels of
wheat are required, Senator McCum-
ber continued, amounts to only ninety
cents although the president in his
message asserted it would total 50
compared with the proposed increase
in wheat prices. Senator McCumber
declared the recent report of the fed
eral trade commission showed millers
profits last year were from 112 to 437
per cent above their pre-war profits.
"The wheat raiser is not asking fav-
ors,' said Senator McCumber. "He is
asking for simple JUSTICE" Senator
McCumber said the cost of labor in
volved in raising wheat has increased
from 200 to 400 per cent within the
last four years.

WERE TWO GREAT STATESMEN
Bismarck and cavour, Men Of the
Highest Genius and Most Profound
Diplomatic Skill.

At nearly the same date the world
beheld an empire Of Germany and a
Kingdom Of Italy reviving the old glo-
ries of distant past and giving a ma
tional character and a national spirit
to millions who had long cherished a
common language and common habits
OF life.
Two great statesmen were foremost
in the achievement Of that splendid his
torical result, Bismarck in Germany,
Cavour in Italy, says the Youths Com.
panion. Both were men of the highest
genius, Of wide insight, of profound
diplomatic skill and Of indisputable
patriotism. But their aims were total
ly different. Bismarck had no faith in
the people and sought to make an abb
solute empire on the medieval model
Of fixed classes, each working in its
sphere for the good of the state, and
the whole eliminating in God ap-
pointed, God supported monarchy. Ca
YOUR, although he believed it best to
retain the monarchical form, worked
from the beginning to establish thor
oughly modern democracy; a govern
ment that should be essentially of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie.
Bismarck summed up his theory of
government in the celebrated phrase
that power must be sustained "by blood
and iron." Cavour said of himself in
phrase far more deserving of ce-
lebrity, II am the child of liberty, and
to liberty I owe all that am" The
hearts of modern Germany and modern
Italy are disclosed in those two say.

see today what different results are
produced by different teachings.

CHAPTER STORMS
THE PAST week
HAIL AND WIND TAKE sTREAKs
HERE AND THERE
While the Elements Did Much DAM
age the Moisture Was of Great
Benefit and Will More Than
Offset Losses

Storms have been the rule rather
than the exception the past week.
Hail has destroyed hundreds of arces
of good crop and wind has torn build
inss in places.
The worst storm of all occurred on
sunday evening. sweeping a path from
Edgeley up past Grand Rapids. a dis
tance of sixty miles by several miles
wide. Only little hail fell over Oakes
in this storm but did no damage. 1t
brought three quarters of an inch Of
rain.
The next worst storm occurred
SOUTH of Ludden on Saturday evening
when wind and hail storm did much
damage to splendid stand of grain,
poultry and buildings. Accounts of
this may be seen elsewhere.
Friday evening in the Clement
country there was another kailstorm
that cleaned a path one by three
miles in extent. Mrs. John Alto was
in the city this week and said they
lost 100 acres, mostly feed, John Ben.
son lost 100 acres of barley and oats.
j. r. Grandadam one-fifth of 100 acres
OF rye, Theo. Pfeifer 100 acres wheat
and corn, Louis Frietag so acres of
wheat. j. M. Schmit 800 acres of rye
and wheat, Henry Perlenfein and J.
A. Mckee one quarter of barley and
rye, John johnson two quarters A
large number of young chickens and
turkeys were killed.
linen another storm seems to have
passed over north of Clement Gus
Strutz, H. c. johnson and others suf.
fering partial losses.
The rains that have come the mast
week, however, have been very bene.
nclal and were welcomed. An inch and
half OF rain has fallen since the Goth
and with .35 of an inch on the 18th
and .O4 on the 18th July shows up
well. While the damage done by hail
has heen bad, it has been limited, and
the increase of yields will more than
onset any damage that has been done
in this country.
The hail storm of Sunday night hit
the w. j. Seifert section of land south
OF Verona. All of this section was in
crop and the injury will run from 10
to 9O per cent. This was on the edge
OF the LaMoure county "hit."
