cantonments and reports tell of the
enthusiastic reception which has been
given them by the sold ers. There is
all especial demand for books on the
war. m litary manuals, poetry, and
French grammars and readers. Ali
sorts CT books are needed, however.
In one library the requests ranged
from books by Gene Strattan Porter
to Bcswell's Life OF Johnson and
Bergsons Creative Evolution. There
have been requests for books on the
psychology of camoutlage, personal
hygiene. ON valuation OF public util.
ties. on conservation. on the history
of art. and on sewage disposal, to
mention only few. Most of the men
read fiction. of course, and most Of
them prefer detective and adventure
stories. but there is also a steady de-
mand for Meredith. Wells, Hardy. De.
Morgan and Conrad.
Libraries are. requested not to send
magazines as they are too old by the
time they reach the camps to interest
the men. Everyone who is sending
magazines is urged to mail them at
least as soon as the next issue arrives
and sooner if possible

THE PEOPLE ARE SAVING

The English have not been consid-
cred saving nation, and one Of the
most notable examples Of the effect
Of patriotism on whole people was
the fact that during the year 1916, al
though purchasing billions of dollars
of war bonds, the small savings banks
depositors in England increased their
deposits over S60,000.000.
The patriotic appeal to the Ameri-
can people for war savings has met
with a similar response. Statistics for
the year 1917 are not yet available,
but reports from various sections Of
the United States indicate that men,
bership and assets in cooperative
building, or savings and loan associa-
lions, increased at least 10 per cent,
the same rate Of interest for the year
1916 and about the average rate of
increase for the last 10 years.
The small savincs~bank accounts
show a similar increase in numbers of
depositors and amounts OF deposits.
j Sales Of War Savin~s Stamps also
show great growth of the habit of
saving.
The American people have respond
ed to the call of duty to economic
and save. They have net only pur-
chased nearly S6,000.000,OO0 Of Lib
erty Loan Bonds and War Savings
Stamps but in addition they have in
creased their savings as above shown.
, Patriotism and saving are synony-
NOUS now, and economy is duty, and
many millions Of American citizens
are doing their duty in this particu-
lar.

OUR WAR AlMS-THE PRINCIPLE
or JUSTICE TO ALL PEOPLES.

AN evident principle runs through
the whole program I have outlined.
1t is the principle OF justice to all peo-
pies and nationalities, and Their right
to live on equal terms of liberty and
safety with one another, whether they
be strong OR weak. Unless this prin-
c:ple be made its foundation no part
Of the structure of international JUS
tee can stand. The people Of the
United States could act upon no other
principle; and to the vindication Of
this principle they are ready to devote
their lives, their honor, and every
thing that they possess. The moral
climax of this, the eliminating and
final war for human liberty, has come,
and they are ready to put their own
strength. Their own highest purpose,
their own integrity and devotion to
the test.'-From President Wilson's
Address, January 8, 1918.

HOW is VALUE PUT ON WHEAT?

Wheat is used for making flour and
some feed is secured as by-product.
It would seem plain that the value
of the -four and feed should be the
basis in setting price on wheat.
How far this comes from being the
case is brought out by Z. F. Ladd
and Thomas Sanderson, in Bulletin
II Vol 1. North Dakota Agricultural
Collece. The data for the years 1911
to 1916 shows that when the grades
were mixed the difference te.WeeH
the value of the mill products and the
market price Of the wheat Was II per
cent greater than Was the case when
Nc. ! Northern was milied alone. IN
1916 this q ference was 263 percent.
which shows the variation between
the value Of the mill products and the
prces paid for the wheat accOrd-n@
to the system of grading used. In
general the milling industry figures
the cost of flour on the pass OF NO.
Northern wheat. but it uses ell it can
of the lower grades and keep up the
quality OF the flour. The cost OF the
-four S reduced in proportion to the
amount of the lower grades used.
This becomes. as chOWn above, an
added profit. And it also fellows that
if the price paid for no. ! Northern
is fair that tie prices pa d for the
lower grades Of wheat are too low.

The world is a snob, and the man

That are cursing this brave old

But the man who falls in a noble
cause
Is a hero no less dear.
It's true enough that the laurel crown

For many nero has laid him down
With naught but the cypress Dough
There are gallant men in the losing

And as gallant deeds are done

Or the battle grandly won.
We sit at life's board with our nerves

Yet he has not fed the strife,

AN ARMY OF sTENOGRAPHERs

Washington, D. c., Jan. 21,-There
is today in the city of Washington in
active operation an army whose ex-
ploits attract little notice, but whose
members are doing very large 'bit"
towards winning the war for Ameri-
ca-an army of stenographers and
typists twelve thousand strong, re-
cruited from every state in the un-

dous volume of correspondence and
records required by great nation at

form; their work is all work and has
! no thrills nor romance; but the Unit
ed States could not stay in the war a
month without them.
The rapidly expanding departments
of the government in Washington en-
ploy stenographers and typists with a
greed that seems insatiabale. The

600 government employees Of this

ton will be held in any city at any
time, day or night, when there is pros
pect of assembling a class of three

WHEN MOTHER CAME TO SAY
coon NIGHT

When mother came to say good night
And kissed and fondled me
A vision of the angles came
My eyes alone could see.
For her sweet kiss brought Heaven
near
I heard the songs Of love
That came from that angelic choir
In happy spheres above
O scenes of childhood's days now
dead!
O happy hours passed!
Why is it that the years have flown
With joys too sweet to last?
Could I turn back the years again
And see those days so bright,
And call the hours-the happy hours,
When mother came to say good
night.
The clouds are lowering DER my head,
The view is cold and drear;
Instead of happiness there dwells
Within my heart fear.
l reach my hands to grasp her form,
But no, her dear caress
Is missing and my life is sad,
Unknown to happiness
But memory keeps her ever near;
And see, she smiles at me,
Recalling days of long ago,
When life was glad and free.
She beckons-yes, it's mothers call;
Oh, what a glorious sight!
l feel ner touch as in the hours
When mother came to say good
night.

CONSERVING FUEL

While North Dakota is not direct
ly affected by the fuel famine in the
east, it has been Indirectly hit through
the congestion in traffic and the sus-
pension of certain lines Of manufac-
turing 1t has been difficult, however.
for North Dakota, with it's coal bins
and fuel yards filled, to appreciate the
situation existing in less favored por-
tions Of the country, or to appreciate
the necessity for fuel saving here at
sippi.
That such necessity does exist, ev-
erywhere Director H. S. Garfeld's or
der, and it's ready, if sometimes un-
willing, acceptance of eastern indus
tries, indicates. The closing of fac
tories and stories and shops andthea-
tiers, the heatless Mondays and other
radical innovations enforced by DR..
Garfield all have been essential, Capt.
l. P. Baker, federal fuel administra-
tor for North Dakota declares, to
Americas success in the. great con-
flict in which it has engaged.
With the railroads everywhere con-
gested with freight; with ships bunk
ers in eastern ports barren of coal,
non-essential industries, which had no
immediate market for their products
and which could not have shipped
them had there been a market, in
sisted upon demanding their normal
fuel supply and upon operating at full
capacity. Either they did not under
stand the seriousness of the situation
or, understanding, they persisted in
their course for unpatriotic reasons
which may be investigated at a later
date, states the federal fuel admin
istration The opposition which they
succeeded in creating was short-lived;
Dr. Garfeld's order went into at the
very minute specified, and with very
rare exceptions it has been strictly
obeyed. Some necessary notifications
! have been made, and the east is fast
adjusting itself to the new situation.
The order first of limitation of elec-
trio signs and all other lighting, made
effective two nights in the week, if
strictly observed throughout the Unit
ed States should save between $780,
900 and 100000 tons of coal, esti-
mates Capt. l. P. Baker, federal fuel
administrator for North Dakota.
Wood cutting campaigns have been
organized in wooded states as means
of reducing the consumption of coal.
J While North Dakota is classed as a
treeless state, it has some fine for
ests in it's river bottoms, where hun
dYeds of cords of frewood: are vast
ed annually through failure to con-
serve trees which are broken down by
wind or lightning, or when succumb
to age. Capt. l. ?. Baker suggests
that territory adjacent to the Missouri
river, especially, could save much coal
by utilizing this firewood during the
milder months.
