An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views of The Forum

The New York World: AS Luther Burbank
has not been in the habit Of indulgng in base
less sensations, the announcement from Santa
Rosa that, after eleven years Of experimental
ton, he has evolved wheat plant which will
yield an average Of forty bushels to the acre
OF grain possessing a high percentage of gluten
becomes news of first importance.
Although the wheat crop Of the United States
is greater than that of any other nation, the
erage yield to the acre has always been com
paratvely small. Some years ago it did not ex-
coed twelve bushels, but Of late it has. been
about fifteen bushels. Taking into account
what Mr.. Burbank has done in the matter Of
potatoes, apples and pluns. to say nothing Of
flowers, as to which he has ALMOST wrought
miracles. We may easily accept at face value
whatever he has to say in regard to cereals.
Wheat floud has become so vital as food of
civilization that strenuous efforts have been
made to extend the acreage and by more careful
methods of tfllage to increase the average prod
uct. Thus far, however. in spite Of agitation
and instruction, such results have been gain
ed must be attributed more to favorable seasons
than to intensified cultivation. What a wizard
Of horticulture has achieved in the wonderful
climate Of California may not be repeated by
everybody else under less favorable conditions
but his discovery is full Of promise that some
day the bread of the world Is to be album
dant. The man who wins that triumph will be
entitled to stand in the front rank of those
who are to conquer the earth for liberty and
democracy.

TAME WORK FOR CHILLY"

Now there was time when Billy Sun
day was needed in Duluth.
But when he alights in the Zenith City,
fresh from his grapple with the Devil in
Chicago, which has just ended, he will find
a city with it's face washed and its hair
brushed, waiting him.
Duluth is doubly dry-dry as a city and
dry by county option, and after July l,
Superior, which vacillates between Puri-
tanical abstinence and debRuchery, will
enjoy at least brief period of sscizcIoth
and ashes, and the Bacchanalian midnight
cars across st. Louis bay will cease to
carry their exuberent throngs.
IF Chilly" had arrived in Duluth in the
old days when the record for separating
a Iumberjaok from his winters wages was
fixed at minutes and so seconds from the
time he left the train until he was uncOn-
sciousdn the back room Of a saloon, drunk
doped and stripped clean, he would have
found a HeIr'B Kitchen worthy of his
mettle.
But DuIuth1has been, acquiring respecta-
bility along with her steel plant and ship
yards and other big industries. She no
more resembles the frontier town Of lum-
berjack days than does Concord, Mass
'TBilly'' won't be able to uneerth even a
cabaretswhere a callow youth imagines he
is seeing life through haze Of cigarette
Emoke and beer glass.
Fighting the Devil in Duluth after six
weeks in Chicago will be like being shifted
from the Ypres salient to the Mexican
border.

WE'LL DONE, LANGDON.

It seems that the Cavalier Defense so
ciety at Langdon is entitled to much of the
credit for having the state spared the hu-
initiation of taking lessons in political
economy, class hatred or anything else
from N. S. Randall, who had been con-
victed of disloyalty.
Fargo is not Jealous of its honors in this
respect. The Fargo War organization pro
tested against the tour, but apparently
the protest of the Cavalier Defense society
really turned the trick and it was an
nounced that Mr.. Randall was too busy
preparing his appeal to come here and
speak along with the governor Of the state.
Think Of It'll
The object, Of course, was to have the
tour stopped in any legitimate way, so we
take off our hats to the red blooded folks
up Langdon way, and say Well done"
Any time that Langdon or Fargo has to
sit at the feet Of convicted disloyalists for
enlightenment they want to know why,
and that goes for every other community
Of good Americans in North Dakota.

any danger Of appearing to favor slack
ers."
By it's wholesale structures ON the Off
GERS holding bullet proof jobs" in Wash
ington it has disorganized some very i'm
portant government departments. Many
highly trained men whose services were
sadly needed in the ordnance departments
have moved Heaven and earth to get
abroad and it is impossible to fill their
places, because young officers fear the pub
lie censure by accepting berths in Wash
ington.
Now congress has sti pulated that none
Of the $11 100000 voted for the department
Of agriculture to stimulate food produc-
ton, shall be used to pay salaries of men
of draft age who have been granted de-
ferred classification
1t is very short sighted generalization.
Nobody loves Stacker or slicker !"
but this grand stand play by congress may
well cause serious disorganization in the
department.
If congress scents scandal in the grant
ing Of deferred classification the proper
procedure is to investigate it, and not
strike out blindly at entire departments
which may shelter some few who carry a
yellow streak.

WHY JUST ONE LUMP

Why the world shortage Of sugar?
Why the allowance Of three pounds per
month per person7
Why the doing out of little packets in
the restaurants instead of placing the heap
ing bowl of sugar on the tables as for
merly?
It is uncomfortable that any sane adult
person should not now know that sugar
shortage exists in the Allied nations. The
reason for the shortage may be less gener-
ally known, and in recent issue of the Of
fetal Bulletin it is explained. 1t is due to
the shutting off of exports of sugar from
the Central European countries, and a
necessary Encouragement Of the channels
Of trade due to the scarcity Of ships. Great
Britain and France formerly got their
sugar largely from Germany, Austria and
Russia. The American and Cuban sup
plies are now the nearest, and they can be
transported in about third of the time,
therefore taking but one-third Of the cargo
space, that is required to move the same
supply from India or Java.
Like most of the shortages that have
arisen during the war, it is less problem
of underproduction than one Of adequate
transportation.

The Rockies Battle Hymn
Borothy Aghby in the peg Moineg Capital:
Onward Christian soldiers,

Onward Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war
ire at Camp Dodge rocked the other afternoon
lusty voiced rockies sang the old hymn
They were standing hundreds of them, heads
barred, these members Of the 337th Field Ar
tinery trampng their feet to the accented beats
of the hymn. Louder and louder swelled the
music. 1t was real battle song.
With the cross of Jesus
Going before
The volume of the song increased. The feet
tramped harder. The soldiers might have been
marching VIGOROUSLY through the streets Of
Berlin. And they seemed to be getting the spirit
Of the stirring hymn. 1t typifed their attitude
toward the war. They realized that they We're
to fight for more than material victory.
Before them stood Dean Holmes Cowper, can
torment music director leading the song serv-
his hands brought enthusiasm from his
men, They had signed up for war. They knew
was saying that theirs is to be a, good fight.
Christ, the royal master,
Leads against the foe.
Forward into battle
See his banners CO.
The soldiers sang on. Their feet tramped
tirelessly. They were going forward into bat
ing, victims of Prussianism. And their jaws
frightened perceptibly. The determined light in
their eyes grew. Clean through the stanza they
sang. Then came the line:
We are not divided, 5# 9E
They spoke these words with conviction. The
lines embodied their prime purpose--to work
together, fight together, and die together, IL
need be- The soldiers held their heads high.
About them were the rough walls and rafters
Of the cantonment theatre. But they saw far
beyond-to the blood soaked fields OF France,
or TO the devastated little villages cover there"
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war
With the cross OF Jesus
Going on before.
The last words of the chorus died away The
tramping feet were still. Soldiers picked up
their hats. abstractedly, and moved slowly up
the aisles. The aalng9 was over.

NOT wHOTIY PREPOsTEROUs.

'tGermans Occupy Devils Lake Tomor-
row at y o'clock, " read the heavy black
headlines across the back page of the Dew
lis Lake journal, Saturday.
The Journals war extra was unique
stunt to arouse interest in the Red Cross
drive, but it served another useful pur-
pose in bringing a deeper realization Of
what the war means to the people Of con-
quered France Belgium and Russia.
The page told of the levy Of fine of ST.
100000 on the city of Devils Lake, and
the efforts of the leading bankers to raise
the sum to save the town from being
looted. It told Of the heroic death of $500
Lake Regioners who died defending the
city; Of the long range Smelling; of the
hundreds who died Of gas bombs; of may
ors Of nearby villages being crucifed; and
all the other horrors of German occupa~
ton.
1t was not a wholly preposterous suppo-
sition. Devils Lake and other North Da-
kota cities, probably would be the last in
the United States to suffer actual occupa-
ton, but if the American government had
needed the advice Of the war opponents and
left the French and British armies to fight
the Hun alone, without the aid Of American
men, money and supplies, they might well
have been annihilated by this time, and the
German navy might be Smelling New York.
