Save OF Produce Wool.

There is a shortage Of wool. It
will take more wool than the United
States produces to clothe and equip
the army. Due to the shortage Of
shipping it is difficult to import wool
as it has to be brought so far. One
way to help this situation is to raise
more sheep. Another way is to make
the old suit or dress do duty a little
longer. Suits and garments, perfect
" good, are often discarded for new
ones due to being out of style or for
the mere. pleasure of wearing new
clothes. Wearing the sold clothes
longer is one way of helping to win
the war. ts v rrs.

SHORTAGE OF SHIP CRAFTSMEN

Washington, D. G., Jan. 10. 1918,
There are not enough ship drafts
men in the United States to do the
drafting work needed to carry out the
naval and merchant ship-buildinp
programs. Our country is engaged in
the execution Of the greatest war
ship construction plan in history, com
prising 1877 vessels, including all
types Of superdreadnaughts to- sub
marine chasers. Naval aprpopria-
lions aggregating nearly two billions
of dollars have been made since Aug
ust, 1916.
Coincident with the demand for in
creased naval work there is an equal
ly urgent call for an increase Of mer-
chant ship construction. It is betray-
ing no secret to say that in both
branches there is a shortage of tech
nical me- available for the work.
The United States Civil Service
Commission is endeavoring to relieve
the dearth of ship craftsmen by rec
%ommending to the heads of colleges
and technical schools that senior stu
dents in engineering courses be CIV
en- intensive training in naval archi-
lecture during the coming spring,
with a view to making them available
for employment as ship craftsmen
in June. The Commission is also re-
ceiving applications from qualified
architectural, mechanical, and struc-
tural steel craftsmen, and is certify
ing them for employment in the
Navy Department and in navy yards
on ship work.
Local boards Of civil service exam
liners at the post offices in all Of the
larger cities are furnishing detailed
information and application blanks.
Applicants r not required to appear
in al examination room for a writ

CLEAN SEED A

Only the best seed should be sown.
To secure the best seed it must be
cleaned. In running the seed through
the tanning mill, weed seed, chaff,
broken straws, light, shrunken kerr
nels and most Of the weak and diseas-
ed kernels can be removed. Some
times it pays to run the seed grain
thru the tanning mill several times.
This insures sowing seed that will
produce vigorous plants and the rest
can be used for other purposes. In
creases of 2 to S bushels per acre
are often obtained from sowing clean,

FOREWORD.

There is a custom, generally observed, which DEGREES that
upon assuming the editorial management of a publication, more
particularly a newspaper, that, in addition to proclaiming the p-
htical creed of the individual so doing, he is also bound to make
q vast number of promises as to the line of business and editorial
conduct which he designs to follow. In this particular instance
Chat rule of procedure will be followed merely to this extent:
The undersigned, being somewhat familiar with the manifold
causes which impelled the farmers of North Dakota to finally
revolt against a situation which has become i%ntoerable, and
which, as a protective measure, resulted in the formation of the
Nonpartisan League; and because of that knowledge he finds him
self in hearty accord with the declared purposes of that organiza-
zion and is not only willing but anxious to lend such assistance as
lies with his power to the proper furtherance Of its end and aims.
However, in this case his particular ambition will be, first of
all, and to the extent of his ability, to make the Courant a local
newspaper Of which it's friends and patrons may have reason to
be proud. How wen-or ill-he may succeedin SO doing must be
left to the future to divulge. #

THE BIGGEST OF ALL GAMBLERS.
H. H. Lampman.

The biggest gambling game in this country is not at the race
track, in Wall street or the Chicago grain pit. The biggest gamb-
Ting game is farming, and it goes on night and day, the year
round. with more and. greater odds against the bettor than has
any other game, says the St. Paul Daily News.
The farmer wagers his time, labor and life against the wealth
II, insect pests, storage and marketing conditions beset with many
middlemen. If he wins against these odds, he, very likely, must
overcome railroad bockades or rate pools.
But, unless the farmer risks these odds, CANDLES with the
cards always being shufled and dealt by somebody else, every
ching stops. Government cannot go on. No such important bust
ness as war can go on. ~"
This being true, it follows that the country's greatest concern
should be that the farmer win his wager. Government should
see to it that he has money on easy terms, seed in plenty and the
accessory tools, especially tractors and other devices for produc-
ing much at the minimum outlay of labor.
During the past year our whole country was stirred to the
duty of producing foodstufs. Millions of people became actual
producers who had never before produced enough to keep a chick
IN in good condition. The total was something remarkable, but
We must do better the coming season, and we will. ~
During the past year there was one heavy handicap under
which the farmer suffered to a sad, discouraging, wasteful extent
transportation blockade. We had the food but could not deliver
It where it would do the most good. Now that will. be overcome
under government management.
Get your seed. Polish up your pillow, the hoe and the spade!
Uncle Sam has the railroads. What you grow will move, not go
to rot. The odds against you have been cut down. And there
will be more cutting. + 1"2 "t ." p 1ogaoo

In discussing the opposition to the Nonpartisan league and

months, regrets the necessity of a change, but owing to other

c. 7. Gates RETIRES
Will Not Make Race for United
States Senate

| In statement given to the pub
lie Monday, Charles 7. Gates, JE,
former Encouragement of Ten
nessee, announced his formal with
drawal from the contest for the
United States senate. In his with
drawal, General Gates states that
when he announced his candidacy
he believed that he and the pres
ent senator would be the only con-
testauts, but that since that time
another candidate has entered the
race, so changing conditions that
be has decided to leave the field.
THIS he does without expressing
any preference for either of the
other candidates, but, on the con.
trary, he expressly denies the
statement that he would withdraw
in the interest of any candidate.
News of the withdrawal ofthe
popular former attorney. general
will be received with genuine ex-
pressions of regaet from all por-
tons Of the state. Gen. Gates has
long been a powerful factor in the
affairs Of the state and has per-
sonal following in every section of
Tennessee. Had he continued in
the contest it is certain that he
would have been most formid-
able contender, and, in the opin-
ion of many of his friends, the
winner.
