The Nonpartisan League Picnic
held at Brush Lake on June 10th,
was revelation to the people OF
Sheridan county. 1t was a concrete
demonstration of the strength of the
League in this county. Probably six
thousand people were there, most all
members of the League. In many
ways the picnic was a disappolnt-
ment: for the drawing card of the
day, Miss jeanette Rankin, member
of Congress from this state, who is
very popular with the lovers OF fair
play, failed to attend the meeting,
being held in Washington by her du-
ties there. However, on the whole,
everybody was satisfied, and the
League members were pleased to see
so many loyal soldiers of democracy
gathered together at one place.
The "Pie-near Press" announced
recently to startled public that it
had obtained a "self-feeding" press.
Hundreds of taxpayers are tickled
that there is something in connec-
ton with the "Pie-near" institution
that is self feeding-for they had
arrived at the conclusion that the
County Commissioners did all of the
feeding" done at that Office.

Since the committee on public IN
formation has said that calling the
farmers league disloyal is aiding
the enemy, there has been less loose
talk going round. 1t will not do to
say that the entire state Of North
Dakota and 10000 farmers in Min
nesota are against the government.
The man who does nothing but sit
in his chair and take a few cents
of profit from each article that
passes through his hands without
adding anything to the value of it
will have to go. Modern efficiency
has no use for him.
There is but one way to win the
war and that is for all to pull tor
gether. Some day the people will
rise up and rebuise those politicians
who are trying to set the city against
the country at this critical time.
There will be many pilgrimages of
progressive people to North Dakota
in the next two years to find out
how a real progressive state is op-

DR. JAMES DOUGLAS SUMMONED BY DEATH
 AT NEW YORK HOME

Dr. James s. Douglas, for many years head of the Phelps Dodge in terests in the Southwest and one Of the controlling factors of that great corporation in all parts of the country, died yesterday in New York. Informa- tion of his death reached Phoenix Tn news dispatches and also in a tele- gram to the office of the governor ana one to Major F. E. Shine from Walter Douglas.
 Governor Hunt sent the following condolatory telegram to Mr. Douglas.
 Phoenix, Arizona, June 25. Walter Douglas,
 99 Johns Street,
 New York, N. Y.
 I have heard with keen regret of the passing of your father, Professor James s. Douglas. Although we are new state, the passing of our pioneers brings home the fact that our greatest men and days are rapidly becoming a part of history. The name Douglas will forever live in the annals that chronicle the development of Arizona s most picturesque industry.
 GEO. W. P. HUNT,
 Governor of Arizona.
 Professor Douglas, as he was known among AriZonans, had been associated with this territory and state for many years. He was better known as a mining engineer of the foremost repu- tation. But he was more than that, q scientific student, a naturalist and q thorough business man. He was an early associate of William E. Dodge of New York. He was attracted tC Arizona by it's wealth of copper and he became the representative of the Phelps Dodge interests here. He was president of the Copper Queen Con- solidated Mining company, also pres;- dent of Phelps Dodge & Co. and ol the Fl Paso and Southern railroac company. A few years ago his duties were transferred to his son, Walter Douglas.
 James s. Douglas, another son, the | head of various important enterprises | in Arizona and the Southwest, went to France immediately after the en- | trance of the United States into the war and is there now engaged in wal work.
 Dr. Douglas was born in Canada and was educated there. He was educated at Queens University. The degree o1 LID. was conferred upon him by Mo | Gill University. He was a member of various learned socities and the author of several works generally ol a historical character.

WILL IT RAIN? ASK BIRDS
(From Boys Life. )

Birds are excellent barometers. A number of our birds-swans, wild duck, coots, moorhens and others build their nests either on the banks of river or floating on its surface attached to the reeds or water grasses. These birds, it is said, never by any chance get caught by floods, and if you see a swans nest, say, d foot above the river level, you may be sure that during the next few weeks there will not be rain enough to raise the river above that height.
 The common robin knows a great deal about forthcoming weather, which he will tell anyone who takes the trouble to consult him. If he sings in the morning it is a certain sign of bad weather.
 The common cricket is a good rain prophet. If he chirps loudly and con- stantly you may safely expect rain.

WHAT'S IN 4 NAME
 CALL II CH0UCR0UT

Sauerkrout?
 No indeed. It is choucrout now and pronounced "shoo- croot.'
 The former German name has been thrown in the discard and the vege- table today is being introduced every where under it's brand new French name. Furthermore it has been dis covered that choucrout was not really of German origin but had it's birthplace in Alsace-Lorraine.
 The name of the well known vege- table that came into disfavor when the war was declared because of its alleged German connection, was changed by the chamber of commerce of the city of Pomona. It intends to start cam paign to give nation wide publicity to the new name of choucrout in order to make the change permanent and na- tional one.

(London Globe.)

ti<OhNOH NIlObC-J
 Thirty French women interned in Holzminden prison camp, having re- fused to make sandbags for the en- emy, were locked up in a barracks without food or light. They remained there from August 13 to September 19, 1917. and would have died of hum ger but for charitable persons, who managed to hand them a little food. AS they refused to capitulate, their mattresses and bed coverings were taken away and finally the woolen garments which they were actually wearing. Their tortures would never have ended if delegate from the Spanish legation at Brussels had not visited Holzminden on September IT. The unfortunate women were all lowed to leave their hovel an hour before the arrival of the visitor. who was, however, placed in possession of the facts. The official order whereby the women's mattresses and bed cov- CTS were taken away from them alsu prohibited them from receiving any letters or parcels; even postcards were forbidden.-( Summarized from the Action Francaise," Feb. 9, 1918 )

CHILDREN TO CLEAN GRAIN
est, Paul Disnatch)

A plan has been worked out by di- rectors of the Moorhead, Minn., Red Cross Chapter whereby junior workers may help win the war by conserving the nations food supply and ale pro- cure funds to finance Red Cross work. When harvesting of grain is finished, the children will be mobilized as glean- CTS to gather all bundles of grain that have been left in the fields and pick up heads broken from the straw. The boys are making markers to run across the fields so that all grain which formerly was wasted will be saved. If the glean- CTS save ten pounds of wheat on an average from each acre, 1000 will be raised and twenty thousand bushels will be saved in one county.
