The WORKING MAN AND THE

In Fargo who should oppose the bond

The bond issue calls for an annual
Interest charge Of $1,000, decreasing
zach year as the bonds are retired,
and an annual levy for the sinking
fund Of $500, making a total an
nuaI charge of $4,000. This is a
rate of 2.347 mills on the present
Valuation.
An increased levy in the building
fund OF not to exceed $40, 900 will be
needed for next year. making an in
Lcrease in the levy Of 2.44 mills. The
hotaI increase in the levy caused by
F4he erection OF the high school,
wherefore, will be 40 mills next year
and 2.sA mills for the following year.
The laboring man who owns q
hiecs Of property valued at $500
will pay on an assessed valuation Of
not to exceed 80 per cent Of that, 80
that the additional cost to him will
lbe $3.50 this year and $50 the fol-

steadily decreases to "a cents at the

BOUND TO CELEBRATE.

Stories are beginning to come in
concerning the Independence day eel
ebration in France. 1t seems that
French patriotism far outstripped the
supply of American flags. But "dra-
peaux-yakees," homemade out of
red, white and blue bingham shirt
ing, hanging from the doors of homes
and small shops, give proof not only
of French regard for their new al
lies, but also of their ingenuity as
we'll.
One such flag hung from a wine
shop near one Of the American
camps. A brand-new cotton dress
had been sacrificed to make the pa
triotic display. On the blue field
there was not room enough for all
the stars that represent the States in
the American Union, while in the
flag there was a myriad of red and
white stripes such as any ordinary
Bingham dress would exploit.
But with it's scarcity of stars and
the superabundance of stripes, the
sentiment of the flag and all it stands
for were there.
A French yachtsman, meeting a
Spiker man in a village, asked his
help in purchasing flag. A tour
of all the stores in a large city failed
to find a single American banner.
Never mind further search" the
yachtsman wrote later, 81 have en-
gagged a milliner to sew me one by
hand"

FOR COLDS
AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS ADVISE
The Improved Calomel Tablet That
Is Entirely Purified of All Nauseat-
ing and Dangerous Qualities.

Physicians are warning the public
against trif1ing with colds, influenza
and grippe. They say that brisk
purgative, preferably Calotabs, the
new and improved calomel tablet,
should be invaribly taken at bed
time and repeated the second or
third night, if necessary. In the
earliest stages, one Calotab is usual
ly sufficient unless the case is partic-
ularly severe.
Physicians say it is a waste of
time and is dangerous to experiment
with other laxatives, as calomel is alb
solutely necessary sooner or later.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with diet, work
or pleasures. Next morning your
whole system is purified and refresh
ed. Calotabs are sold only in original
packages. Price thirty-five cents.
Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists every where. Price refund
ed if you are not delighted.

Don't Ask Washington If You Want
To Know!

Az xAAOW. t
A lot of good 1T will do to ask
Washington what is to be done about
things! If the President had only
suggested something in his address
to Congress it would have started op-
position, at least. But as matters
stand Washington is on the border
edge between coma and cynicism.
Its contrary-minded groups are pre-
pared to oppose the ratification of the
peace treaty, no matter what it may
stand for. Reconstruction is princi-
pally a myth. The Capital talks about
the British plan headed by Minis
try of Reconstructons and supported
by a large number of commissions.
The Capital also talks about COM
mittees of the Senate and House. 1t
talks of using existing Government
agencies and Departments to some
extent. But though matters are ex-
tremely pressing, Washington hasn't
shown enough initiative since the
signing of the armistice to entitle it
to a paragraph on the pages of the
history of Democracy. Now these
statements are not politics are
truths, and this ought to be the day
of truthtelling. 1t is not question
of what the Democrats have done, or
what the Republicans have done.
The record shows that the whole
bunch of them have done practically
nothing.

Reconstruction At Atlantic City.

The assembled enterprises of the
country which have been called
"war industries" agreed that their
leaders should meet at Atlantic City
for the purpose of holding a post
morton upon Government war orders
and contracts, and for the more valu-
able object of determining whats
to he done about it," "The Break
ers," the finest hotel on Atlantic
City in winter-time over worked hui
mainly evolved valuation plans for
Industrial reconstruction. When
Atlantic City captures one of the big
gest gatherings of the country the
proof is no longer lacking that the
place is an all-year round resort.
Our "War Industries" scored great
achievements for Uncle Sam, and
the6 rrate OF speed was hitherto un-
known in the history of the coun-
Cry. But the expected" finally hap
pensd-only it camera little sooner
thao was anticipated. As a result the
diversified interests OF the country
elected to have "talk-fest," and in
order to get a place that would hold
all this vast throng of busy business
men, and give them a needed respite
from their labors, Atlantic City was
picked out as the meeting place for
what proves to be one OF the most
valuable conventions Of the kind that
has been held in many a long day.
As American industry rolled up
its sleeves and went to war 50 will
American industry tackle in an
equally ef1cient manner the new
problems OF reconstruction and peace.

Wanted-A Policy.

Congress spends considerable time
debating as to whether the war is
over, but that is about as far as the
law-making body appears to get.
This ship of State is floundering in
choppy seas, and with the pilot In
Europe there appears to DO no way
of steadying the wobbly craft.
1t is doubtful if there has ever
been a time when there have been SO
many inconsistencies in Government
as now. The food and fuel admins
trations, which were deemed so es-
sential, are crumbling. The War
Labor Board is practically on the
shelf, Notwithstanding the fact that
contracts for war work have been
cancelled, throwing vast armies Of
workmen out of employment and
threatening the credit of many con-
Germs that have dropped everything
in order to serve their country. Gov
eminent control of prices has almost
passed. The total cost of the war for
America, up to November, was $780,
500, 100000, and the capacity of
Congress seems to be taxed to its ut
most in finding a way for the future.
The steel men and the War Indus
tries Board have been in conference,
and the result is that competitive
conditions within this great industry
are to be restored after January 1.
Summing up the industrial situa-
ton one finds that the whole indus
trial machinery of the country is be-
ing set adrift. The war industries
have accepted this condition, and at
the Atlantic City gathering their
problems were analysed, and RENE
dial methods were provided as far as
possible. The Government which
was so all-wise in going to war
offers no solution about how to get
back to peace The country is asked
to accept as an excuse for holding
the boys in idleness in the camps the
that it is done to relieve
what Mr.. McAdoo, describes in an
other instance as uncertainty and
ferment."

e.OO0 900 DIED OF THE FLU IN
PAST THREE MONTHS

The London Times medical CORES
pondert says that it seems reasonable
to believe that throughout the world
about 100000 persons persisted
from influenza and pneumonia dur
ing the past three months.
1t has been estimated that the war
caused death Of 100000 persons
in four and one-half years. Thus, the
correspondent points out, influenza
has proved itself I'VE times deadlier
than war, because in the same period,
at its epidemic rate influenza would
have killed 100,000,000. Never
since the black death has such q
plague swept over the world, he says,
adding that the need Of q new survey
of public health measures have never
been more forcibly illustrated.
