ARE YOU "DRESSING AND
KEEPING" YOUR PART OF
GODS EARTH?

The Almighty's first command
to man was Ito dress and keep"
tract Of earth: And the Lord
God took the man, and put him
into the Garden Of Eden to dress
it and to keep it,
| think sometimes that we have
never had that last phrase suffi-
GENTLY emphasized. Notice that
the Lord didn't tell man just to
see how big crops he could grow
on the soil without regard to
how the land should look or what
| effect the crop-making should
have on the land. There was in
the Lords command q certain
| definite regard both for beauty
and for permanence OF use. Man
is directed to "dress" the earth
he cultivates; that is. to make it
fair and pleasing to the eye, and
he is directed to s'keep it,
which last phrase certainly
doesn't mean to let it become i'm
poverished, quilted and worn-out.
Now if a man takes any piece
Of ground in the spirit in which
the Lord gave the earth into man s
keeping, if he is resolved ITO
dress and keep it," / believe he

farm work. He will never plant
a flower or tree, and never drive
down corn or cotton row with

helping dress the earth by keep

thistles and its evil growth and
am stimulating instead the growth
of God-given plants that minis

beauty" He will never plant a
cover crop or stop a wash or bring
back to fertility some famished
CALLED spot or old-field. without
thinking in effect, Il am helping

+. RIGHT OF THE ROAD.

Some complaint has come re
garding the giving Of half the
road in case of an automobile
coming up behind team. The
parties dlaim that when they
come up behind fellow with a
team he stubbornly refuses to
give any Of the road no matter if
there is plenty Of room to turn
out. Now the law recognizes the
right of both the man with the
team and the man with auto, and
these rights should be respected.
There are plenty of men who are
running autos who should be
driving OK teams and visa versa,
but all men should not be treated
that way. The law says that
when a man is overtaken by a
faster vehicle. the man driving
the slower vehicle shall turn out
and give half Of the beaten path.

TIE PEOPLE AND THE WAR.

We endorse the words of an
exchange which says the people
pay the cost Of the war-the cost
in every way. They furnish the
sons and husbands who are shot
down. They supply the fields
that are trampled and the build
ings that are riddled. Out Of
their substance comes the money
that is wasted-a sum now equal
to $2,OO0,0O0 an hour as it has
been figured. They assume the
fearful debts to pay in the fu-
ture and for generations to come
they will take a little out Of each
DAYS labor and a little out of
each bushel Of grain to help pay
ment. 1t is the best business Of
the people that is ruined. 1t is
the hearts Of the people that are
broken. 1t is the door posts of
the people that are marked with
the badge of mourning. And when
it is all over, the people gain
nothing. Some general becomes
immortal as fighting man. Some
king struts in increased glory
across the stage. Some orator
boasts Of the glories which
have come to his country
But when all is said and done,
war is a miserable business. 1t
is cruel, wasteful and illogical.
After the cataclysm in Europe is
over, and the passions of men
have cooled. and Judgment re-
turns to her throne. it will be up
to the people who have done the
suffering, and who have made the
sacrifice and who have sent their
sons to untimely graves, to rise
in their might and say in thunder
ing tones, that war shall be no
more.-Avoyelles Enterprise. !

One Of the most dangerous
habits people can indulge In is
that of lying in bed. Nine-tenths
of all the deaths occur in bed.
Nearly one-half Of all those who
are murdered are murdered in

New Orleans, La, Sept. 2S.-
Soldiers and sailors have been
ordered by the War Department
not to correspond with soldiers
and persons with whom they are
unacquainted. The Red Cross has
been asked to notify all Home
Service sections. which handle
correspondence in many cases for
relatives and friends of soldiers,
to see that they strictly follow the
ruling.
Here is the War Department
order, in part:
"The dangers of inadvertently
communicating valuable military
information to the enemy and the
necessity of closing all gates
against enemy propaganda, make
it necessary that the strictest at
tsntion be paid to the correspon-
dence of both officers and enlisted
men. Efforts are constantly be-

WE BEG YOUR PARDON

In The Tribune's report of the Bis
marck police administration last even
ing the statement that mir. Thistle
thwaite devoted little of his time to
the duties of city auditor" The
thought which the writer sought to
convey was that Mr. Thistlethwatte
was not a full.time ,employe of the
city. and naturally could not be ex'
pected to be on the job all OF the
time to make out petty vouchers. AS
the statement appeared in print 1t
could easily be interpreted to mean
that Mr.. Thistlethwaite had neglected
his duties. This was not the impress
sion which the writer Intended to
leave with Tribune readers, as 1t Is
generally recognized that Mr.. Thistle
thwaite rendered efficient service as
city auditor The position when, ne
held it paid less than it does today,
and it was understood that the audit
or was not to devote his, full time
to the Office. This explanation is vol
unfairly rendered in justice to Mr..
Thistlewaite and his friends.

GRAIN PRICES
ARE BETTERED

Chicago, ILL.,, Mar. 1S.-Fresh meas

eral evening up of trades today In
grain, especially on the part of shorts.
After a number of lively price chang
es, corn closed firm, Y to 13sc net
higher with March 127% and May
1926.
Oats gained az to 3A. The out

SC decline to a rise of 12c.
Temporarily, a ruling by the ex-
change directors that no one interest
could at any given time be long or
short moren than 100000 bushels OF
future deliveries led to a good deal
of flurried trading in the corn pit. AT
first, sellers were greatly in the ma
jority owing to big receipts, but quick
covering which shorts began, brought
about sudden decided upward swing.
All OF the gains were afterward lost,
only to be replaced by new advances
that carried the market higher than
before. The final strength was as

TOO, TOO SAD

. When peace comes and Uncle Sam tackles the
proposition of fostering infant industries, he will
be asked to hand over full bottle of rich milk to
the American Sugar Refining Co., or present signs
are off color.
This company's annual report for the full year
of 1917 shows net profits Of $10055 POI, as against
$1015,853 the year before the war but, complains
the company, this years was profit on $200,000,
600 of business done, lone of the smallest profits
on turnover in the manufacturing world"
More pitiful still is what this company reports
as to competition In 1894 it supplied three-fourths
Of the sugar consumed by Americans. 1t now sup
plies less than one-thrd. In addition, of the %
cane refineres in the U. S., 16 are bucking the
American Sugar Refining Co. and 81 beet-sugar
factories have sprung up. In 20 years the per-
centage of sugar furnished by competitors has
sprung from Is to so, with beet-sugar supplying
quarter of the consumption. In short, beautiful
monopoly is beautifully busted and cannot make
over ten times as much as it made before the war;
that god-send to profiteers, came along. Return
OF peace means despair, and we'll certainly bear
this bald-headed, bewhskered old infant bowling
for fostering, later on.
