Euders and Douglass are going with me. I havn't been on . leave since I've been here. most everyone else here has. SO thought I'd take one. They say everything up in Belgium is very beautiful this time of year. It. McCarty has just returned from a trip there.
 Guess by the time l get back I will be ordered home, that will be about the 18th of July. They are expectln g to have everyone home by the last of July SO guess I'll be home pretty soon now. believe me I'll be glad to get there too. Have been here almost a year. My previous service in the National Guards and my ex- perience in adjutants work is what is keeping me here.
 It is raining today for the first time in about three weeks.
 The French are having a rev. olution here in Brest. They have a big demonstration. The oth CT night about 2,OOO of them had parade and went over to the big French barracks and took charge of them and have armed themselves. They are expected to break out any time. The French soldiers are guard ing the barracks with machine guns and if they come out there will be some fight.
 No Americans are allowed on the streets day or night. They say the trouble is that the Americans have raised the price of everything so that it is inn possible for them to live. They want the Americans out of here. Of course Uncle Sam is getting them out as fast as he can, they should be a little more patient. They are bad lot and don't appreciate the fact that if we hadn't come over here that the Germans would have this country.

The World in Turmoil

The era OF the Napoleonic wars,

nothing to compare with the turmoil
existing at the present time. The
world is really much larger now.
Peoples everywhere are much more
closely united in business relations,
It not political, and there is scarcely

whenever they address an appeal to

What better acknowledgment could
there be that the masses put great
weight on right, justice, and the

An appeal of Grass selfshness and
indifference to the rights of others
which the ruling powers need to in

the masses Of our people. It is
equally noteworthy that in all the

put their superior outlook on life in
10 effective language and action.
Yet we have here a great weak
ness Of the masses as well. The
man who is honest is likely to as
sumo that others are, especially f
they say so. Our great schemcrs
are thus able to get themselves and
their aims believed in by throwing
out an atmosphere of moral appeal
which does not exist. The masses
are too likely to accept professions
for facts, and are thus led around
by the nose. Whereas if they knew
what was really going on, they would
boil over with indignation. Right
now, for instance, we have a peace
censorship on news from Europe
that our people may not know what
ours and other statesmen are doing.
Ihey fear the people.
The people have perhaps one gen
eral means of avoiding being thus
sold out through their virtues, and
that is to disregard mere profes-
sions. They must Judge what is 60
ing on by acts not words; they must
demand on future actions records
and concrete plans and not mere
promises.

ImproDement Must Not Lag

FOR A NATION OF OVER 100000
900 PEOPLE IN 1919.
Our forefathers were very radi-
cal in striving after improvement in
their day.
1t is their spirit and not their tenn
porary plans that we need for ma
tional vigor and success.
To use a homely illustration, the
hide of the animals must grow as
fast as the animal.
Otherwise the animal must suffer
and in time, if the animal does not
die, the hide must break.
We are right now dangerously
hide-bound, for we have failed to
keep pace with our own best thought
and that of the world and are not
applying new solutions as we should
to the new and dangerous conditions
now confronting us.
If many of our independent busi-
ness men do not feel free to push for
improvement themselves, they should
at least welcome such movements as
the new political organization of
Farmers and the Labor party which
are springing up, as a means Of ov-
grooming the special privilege stand

producing purposes are.
For the bonds which North Da-
kota will issue, for instance, to take
up high-interest farm mortgages, it
will get the best security in the world
and it will annually get enough in
terest to cover all costs. For the
$5,000,000 it intends to put into ele-
vators and mills, it will get proper
ty worth that amount and yearly
earnings to cover all expenses to the
state Where, then, is the increase
in net Indebtedness which the reac-
tionaries talk so much about?
The only danger point is the fail
ure to get value for the state in
vestment, and the North Dakota of
ficials and the officials of other
states can the better take care of
this if the reactionaries who pre-
tend to have such concern for the
interest Of the state, do not put SO
many distractions in their way.

Producers News.
Dear Editor:
When the Producers News was
started, the purpose was to get a
paper that would stand by the right,
and get the grafters. Redmond is
out. Others are shaking in their
boots. Lundberg is sending his
amusing articles out of the state to
get them printed.
Lundberg is the that has
been trying to make hash out Of the
Nonpartisan League and its members
all fall and winter, meanwhile prat-
ing and hollering about his own pa
triotism, loyalty and 1000 American
ism. When I stated in one article
that Lundberg prated of feeding his
flour substitutes to his hogs and fed
his dogs and himself white bread
as the substitutes were not fit for the
dog, and it has been stated in other
articles also, can prove that he
has prated Of it not only once but
many times.
If there had been plenty Of Lund-
bergs in the U. S. that did not eat
substitutes (thereby helping the ex-
kaiser) the boys that risked their
lives and limbs for us over there
might have failed.
Loyal Herr Won Lundberg, Jr.,
Patriotic Herr Won Lundberg bought
a Liberty Bond. Yes we heard about
that and also read about it in the Pat
Press, but our sense Of hearing is
good SO we also heard he traded the
bond off right afterwards for ma
chinery. This latter piece Of news
did not appear in the Pat Press. His
great patriotism was all the burden
he could carry.
This 1000 American that has
boasted he had plenty Of money to
pay for his booze, bought according
to rumors 500 of his war savings
stamps allotment, and then got rld
Of them as soon as he could and the
government requested all w. S. S.
buyers to hold them till maturity.
so this 1000 American seems to be
about 0 as far as W. S. S. are con-
cerned.

raves lllc "O1ok IlS uSC0 VIC WIN AON
frequently. So did the late un-
lamneted Kaiser.
Luney is now loyal to the indus
trial kaisers and gratuers in this
country.
Luny has been picking out the un-
desirables for deportation, but Uncle
Sam may look over the picker as
we'll as the picked and flag waving
and roaring, II am a loyal patriot"
will not help any.
Luny is worried very much about
the $1,000 Townley gets from each
farmers that's a member Of the Non
partisan League, every two years.
What about the 100000 that
Lungs friend, the punk patriotic
Pioneer Press got the last ten
months, $4,000 a day. Enough ev-
cry day to pay the membership of
Ga farmers for two years, enough
in ten months to pay the membership
Of 1875 farmers for two years. That
does not worry Luny. What worries
him IS that his friend will be losing
all that dough.
Luney's friend Redmond was found
out and Luny worries and by the
way, did you ever hear the old say
ing, "a dog is judged by the company
he keeps"
