BOOK DRIVE
BEGAN TODAY
Movement for Collecting
Books for Soldiers and
Sailors Starts.

The big drive for books for the
soldiers and sailors began today in
Grand Forks and East Grand Forks.
The drive will continue for a week
and will close on Saturday night. The
captains and all the volunteer work.
ers are putting their best effort into
the campaign. and it is expected that
the number Of books received will be
a credit to the two cities.
S~ub-stations have been arranged at
all the city schools in Grand Forks
and also 1t the Ontario store and
Stone Piano company. In East Grand
Forks the Central school and the
parochial school will be the sub
public library in this city, and all
persons who are able to do so are
asked to take their books directly to
the library. The transfers of the city
have very kindly offered their services
in conveying the books from the SUBJ
stations to the main station and it is
being urged upon all givers of books
that they relieve the transfers as far
AZ possible by taking their books
themselves to the library. For those
who have large quantities of books to
give, special arrangements will be
made. \

DEATH AS CAMOUFLAGE

It is perfectly natural and German, in the
German captives to spread the report amongst the
allied troops that Hindenburg is dead, with the
expectation Of relaxation Of effort by the allies.
S$,,. Autocrats have to depend much on particular
personages It doubtless surprised many Germans
that England didn't throw up her hands and quit,
upon her loss of Kitchener. A people drunk with
the obsession that the me and Colt" partner
ship has Hindenburg as its right arm naturally
over estimates the importance Of the. effect upon
al other peoples Of report Of Hindenburgs re-
rloval. It will be in conflict with the German idea
Of the fitness of things if the allies simply say,
.Oh well! Hindenburg dead is just one less Ger
man." and go right on with the business OF re-
moving more Germans as before.
q. Hindenburg's death might mean much to Ger
many. The allies are bent on the work OF what
Hindenburg represents, dead or alive. But, we
eiess that Hindenburg is still on earth. We've
received no reports Of riot or mutiny in the in
feernal regions.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE BARBERRY, FRIEND OF THE KAISER

THE BARBERRY, FRIEND OF THE KAISER
When man comes around and puts red
tag-danger signal-on your long cherished bar
berry hedge, get ready to sacrifice it for the good
of your country for it is friend Of the kaiser
and an enemy Of Uncle Sam. 1t breeds and
spreads rust, the plague that makes for wheat
failure and dear bread and hunger. .,
But in case you start out to anticipate the visit
of the public agent who is engaged in this good
work of blotting out public enemy, be careful to
draw the distinction between the common bar
berry, which is deadly, and the Japanese or Thun-
berg's barberry, which is not only harmless but is
q very desirable decorative shrub. The man won't
make that mistake-you may.
Perhaps the quickest way to tell the differ
ence is by the leaves; the leaves of the common
barberry have spiny teeth on the edge, while the
leaves Of the Japanese barberry are smooth. But
there are many other differences to check up by.
The stems of the common are gray or greenish
gray, while the stems of the Japanese are reddish
brown; the common grows four to eight feet high,
while the Japanese is smaller, and reaches only
two to four feet; the spines on the common kind
are mostly three in group while those on the
Japanese are mostly single, though sometimes
they are found three in group; on the common
kind the flowers and berries come in a long clus-
ter, like currants, while on the Japanese kind the
flowers and berries are single like gooseberries, or
occasionally in small groups of two or three
Don't think because the leaves are purple that
your barberry is harmless. The dangerous bar
berry comes in both purple and green; while the
leaves Of the Japanese barberry are always green
Save the Japanese barberry-it is harmless and
decorative. But let no plant of the common bar
berry remain living in Minnesota to communicate
a disastrous plague to the wheat felds.-Duluth
Herald.

LIKELY TO COME OUT

s%s Lo1doh war experts are unanimously OF the
opinion that Germany's high seas fleet will make
.; great drive, and even a. non-combattant land
lubber can see strong grounds for such opinion,
~ The taxed German people who paid for buiid-
inn The kaiser's grand fleet" are demanding re-
taliation for what the British did to Ostend and
Zeebrugge
The fU-boat ruthlessness is not making good
and Y6mething must speedily be done to block
the unprecedented transportation by Uncle Sam
sof men, munitions and food to Europe. II during
the excitement of a naval drive, couple OF fast
German cruisers could slip through, there's no
telling what they might not do to Uncle Sans
trans Atlantic transportation. Certain it is that,
unless something of this sort is done, Germany
will soon find herself greatly the inferior in man
power, gun power, air power and food power.
Then, too. there's got to be. some sort OF
stimulant for the German morale Hindenburg
doesn't seem able to get into Paris on April l. or
any other date; the cries Of the wounded from
Picardy and Flanders are beginning to reach the
folks back home; and none Of the; kaiser's great
victories are producing anything to relieve hun-
ger. Besides, Austria's sick of war and sick with
political collie, and my dear brother Of Turkey
would quit: if he could. s
And there's the grand German navy hardly
daring to move an oar! Verify, the reasons for
that navy's coming out are strong and numerous.

CONGRESSMAN AND TAXES

The boys "over there" need the money and
McAdoo is asking congress to raise part Of it by
increased taxation. 1t is reported from Washing
ton that from $1,500,0o0,000 to $2,5o0O0o,OO0
will be needed.
But at the same time it is reported the propo-
sition has met with storm Of opposition in both
house and senate" It is stated that congressman
and senators are afraid to vote for new war tax
bill before they go home to meet their constitu-
ents. In fact, such leaders as Simmons in the
senate and Kitchin in the house have said that it
is the unanimous desire Of congress not to take up
taxes until after the fall elections.
III other words, congress is afraid to go home
and tell the people the truth. That is what it
boils down to.
Oh bosh! Oh piffle! AS if the people-the
real people, whose main interest in life these days
is winning the war-didn't know the truth al
ready! They know that war isn't pink tea.
They know that it costs money. They know that,
sooner or later, our present half-and-half tax
schedule will have to be revised and enlarged.
And they have shown just where they stand by
their voluntary subscriptions to three Liberty
loans, and their voluntary contributions to the
Red Cross and other war activities.
The congressman or senator who realizes that
money is not the greatest bugaboo in the minds
Of his, most important constituents the minds

fall, or vote against him-but that it is the pos
sbilty of an unnecessary prolongation of the war,
is the fellow who is going to get his seat back
again.
And when he does finally realize it, he is going
to realize this further fact that the best recon-
mendation he can carry home with him is record
of having worked for war taxes where they belong
taxes on war profits and swollen incomes.

MUST NOT BE AFRAID

President Wilson evidently has
nothing to hide in the aircraft in
vestigation when he volunteers to
turn the investigation over to Chas
E. Hughes. Politically, Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Hughes have nothing in
common, and as the coming cam
paign, whoever happen to be the
nominees, will no doubt be fought
out on the war record of the Admin,
istration, it would seem to be folly
to turn over the investigation to the
enemy" However, President Will
son has again shown good judgment.
If there is man competent to 60 to
the bottom of the matter it is Mr..
Hughes, and Mr.. Wilson knows he
has nothing to fear as to the result
of the investigation. And another
nice thing about it is that those who
are kicking through partisanship can
not make the investigation.

PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
SAYS NO STATE TICKET

Edward T. Hackney one of the
leading Democrats, of Kansas, and
former president of the board of ad-
ministration, has come out in an in
terview urging that the Democrats
do not nominate a state ticket.
The following from the Hutchin-
son Gazettt tells of Ms. Hackney's
plan and his reasons for favoring it:
Mr.. Hackney urges both parties to
adopt the political status quo ante.
That is, let the Republicans re-elect
the officers they now have, and let
the Democrats re-elect those they
now have. This arrangement would
give the Republicans the state Of
ficials and three congressman, and
the Democrats the United States sem
ators and five congressman. 1t also
would give the Republicans the state
legislature.
Mr.. Hackney's interview reads:
eve are too busy in this war and
too much interested in seeing that
the kaiser does not have chance to
exploit to his people, ignorant of our
politics, the fact that a Republican
beat Democrat to indulge in po-
litical campaign this ytar. All po-
litical parties ought to agree to abide
by the condition that existed at the
beginning of the war and whatever
republicans held office at that time
whether in county, state or nation,
they should be allowed to fill the of
flee with the men of their choice at
the coming election without contest
and the same ought to be true of the
places held by the other parties. This
is no time to profit politically by the
