Won HINDERBURG'S FEARS

Won Hindenburg has told the German people not
to tear the 1anks
The admonition, no doubt is based upon his own
beiated conviction that the Yanks ARE foes to be
feared.
They are now substantiating Hindy's realiza-
ton and belief.
But Won Hindenburg really doesn't fear the
Yanks-he fears the PERSONAL consequences OF
allied victory, which the Americans have made
certainty.
He fears retribution. He fears the AWAKEN
ED German people, He fears the might OF Amer
lea and the RIGHT of her cause.
He is typical HUN bully, of which the gorilla
is the prototype. A glowering, towering monster
is Won Hindenburg-when his gang is with him
and his victim at disadvantage.
Won Hindenburg has brain-power, but his main
power-the confidence of his countrymen-is wan
ing. He's slipping-and knows it, and breads that
day when all HUNland will know it.. -.
+ 1t is time for the Prussian war-lords to start
planning and preparing alibis and explanations.
Some of them should select their asbestos
shrouds now and abandon any notions of maneu-
yering for clemency.

COURT THE LIGHT

Disease danger and death Turk in the dark
Shadows menace and threaten.
Blackness conceals; the unseen and unknown are
feared
Lands where the night is long are more print
tive and less populous than those where the sun
favors progress.
Gloom lends itself to the forces of evil. Germ
life thrives where the suns rays cannot reach
Villainy and vandalism cling to closed shutters
and drawn blinds; plotters and pillagers plan and
split spoils in places i'll lighted, not Illuminated
Darkness cloaks crime. Many outrages of his
tory were conceived. connived and directed in the
dark, dampness of cellars.
On the other hand, genius is often fostered in
garrets, where light filters in through the caves
end cheers, though poverty shifts hungrily at the
latch of the hatch.
Man has long associated death and oblivion with
blackness; life and hope with brightness.
The torch of knowledge has advanced the world
while ignorance is bandage to the eyes of prog
ress.
Modern business gives great consideration to
the value and influence of light Industrial in
surance companies find it formidable factor in
their field. Faulty lighting is responsible for %
to 80 per cent of accidents resulting in damage
claims.
But the light that is individually vital is the
light WITHIN. Don't let morbid thought or NOR
ose Illumination snuff it.

LOSSES-AND GIFTS

War is a great phrase maker. Its moments of
eXaltation despair rouse in men the heroic mood
which flowers in noble words, destined to shine
forever from the pages of history and echo again
and again in the orations of graduates and poll
ticians.
Numberless wars have blasted the earth be-
tween Caesars arrogant Il came, l saw, l con-
quered' and Pershings humble declaration of true
faith and allegiance between France and America
Lafayette we're here
Usually the fine phrases of war are associated
with the great names of generals and admirals
who spoke them, and usually they express only
the spirit of the great man or the great moment.
Sometimes it remains for the quiet words of an
obscure soldier to eptomze the spirit of the real
army-the average men who bear the burden of
the battle and win the day.
The phrase of British Tommy, used and cast
aside by the waves of war, reveals the certainty
of allied victory which lies in the spirit of the
fighters AS the soldier returned to "Blghty"
with his right arm shot away friend commiser-
ated him on his loss. Quietly he rejected SYM
pathy, 81 did not LOSE my arm, GAVE it."
When whole armies of men GIVE themselves a |
willing sacrifice for ideals greater than their love
Of their lives, in sefsurrender that recognizes no
oss-the HUN can raise no defense that will !
stand against them.
Victory is sure.

We have. however, an instance in
this state that seems to me to have
made quite a record in the line of
profiteering. This institution is

ment at Bismarck last February.

self-appointed saviours of the farmers

'Mr. Townley testified at his bank
ruptcy hearing in Bismarck that he
had collected fro mthe farmers of
the northwest in his various schemes,
up until that date, the sum of $3,0OO,-
900. He also testified tina the ha7
alone. At that time there were in op-
Grafton in this state only six or seven
o fthese consumers stores, with an
average stock of not to exceed $1,000,
according to information furnished by
the citizens of the communities where
these stores were in operation. These
would make a total investment of
$4,000 with S960,0O0 paid in, or net
profit of 1925 900. which is a reason

Though no reverses are anticipated through in
