overt acts. Under it's provisions,
juries may be permitted to construe
mere expressions of opinion upon
economic, social and political condi-
items as "inciting the overthrow by
force Of the government of the
United States" This is the type of
"sedition law" which tyrants must
utilize to punish their subjects for
constructive crimes"
Necessity! Necessityi-the mother
of invention; the father Of action.
Americans; workers; lovers of lib
erty-arouse yourselves to the one
supreme necessity-the necessity Of
rebuilding the walls Of the temple Of
freedom!
NO MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
Allied statesmen, who are looking
for middle ground between Capital
ism and Bolshevism, should heed the
words of Nicholas Tschaikowsky,
president of North Russia. awe
have no common ground with the
Bolsheviki; there is only one settle
ment possible between us: either we
prevail over them, or they prevail
over u.s." Tschaikowsky is talking
sense,-the same sense that Lincoln
talked in 1853 when he said, 'No
house divided against itself can
stand; either this nation must be all
slave or all free"
Europe cannot exist part capital
list and part Socialist. The issue is
drawn; the conflict is on. Comprom-
Use is futile, because there can be no
effective compromise between the
spirit of autocracy represented by
modern capitalism and the spirit of
democracy, represented by the work
ing class governments of Europe.
Europe will be ruled by the pluto
Gratis or by the workers, and the pres
ent struggle will continue until a
decision is reached. The line of So
cial evolution leads inexorably to-
ward the ultimate victory of the
| workers.
CLOTHING THE WORLD
From the time piece of leather
reaches factory until the shoes are
finished and ready to be worn, the
labor cost on a single pair of welt
lace shoes is thirty-six cents. The
United States Department of Labor
has published these figures in Bull.

The grain grading and inspection
law passed by the 1917 legislature
by giving the farmer better grace
and consequently a better prlce on
his grain, saved $12,5OO,OOO 20 tne
farmer, according to Doctor =. r
Ladd, president of the North Dako-
ia Agricultural college. Amend
ments to the law, passed this year
provide that grain dealers must pay
for valuable dockage that they take
This will bring to the North Dakota
farmers an additional amount that
may range all the way from Sz'ooo'-
900 a year to 100000 a year. ac-
cording to different estimates.
These direct savings, in dollars ano
cents, are comparatively easy TO ng-
ure out. It is also easy to figure tna1
a saving of 100000 or more viii
result from state hail Insurance. ano
similar savings from state 1nsur-
ance of public buildings and state
bonding of public officials.
INCREASE IN PROSPERITY
But the biggest savings under the
North Dakota program can not be
figured out in dollars and cents Sc
easily. The BODYBUILDING law is q
case in point. It will encourage
farm owning, instead of tenant farm
ing. Authorities have variously estl
mated, at from $4,000 to $4,000, the
financial value to the state OF q
homecoming family. Based on the
capitalized value of what farmer
can produce annually, the financlal
value would be much higher. But
there is value aside from the fin
ancial value that can not be calculat-
ed.

OLD MOTHERS
BY Charles S. Ross.

By Charles S. Ross.
love old mothers-mothers with
white hair,
And kindly eyes, and lips grown soft
ly sweet,
With murmured blessings over sleep
babes.
There is something in their quiet
grace
That speaks the calm of Sabbath af-
ternoons;
A knowledge in their deep, unfalter-
ing eyes,
That far outreaches all philosophy.
Time with caressing touch, about
them weaves
The silver-threaded fairy-shawl of
age;
While all the echoes of forgotten
songs
Seem joined to lend sweetness to
their speech.
Old mothers!-as they pass with
slow-timed step,
Their trembling hands cling gently
to youths strength.
Sweet mothers! as they pass, one
sees again,
Old garden walks, old roses, and old
loves.

The efficient lighting Of the water
ways so that they can be safely navi.
gated at night Is an all-important mat.
ter. It is effected by the ordinary sta.

kinds Of automatic light buoys. The
latest Of these latter Is an ingenious

tion. built by British Arm.
1t Is a very ingeniously constructed
vessel and the very latest Of Its kind.
In Its two steel tanks sufficient gas
can be stored to supply the vessel
for several months. Experiments have
shown that the light may be depended
upon to burn continuously for months
at a time without any attention what
ever. The approximate duration Of
the light can always be predetermined,
and there Is no danger whatever Of
the light being extinguished either by
wind or spray. The light is visible at

Nuts as Food.

Many people are Just beginning to
find out that nuts are valuable source
Of food. Most varieties have a high
nutritive value, due to their fat and
protein content.
Chesfhuts stand in a class by them
selves. being largely carbohydrate In
composition. They are good boiled and
mashed. Serve as potatoes or use as
stufiing for fowl. Butternuts, black
walnuts. English walnuts. hlberts.
hazel nuts, hickory nuts. pecnns and
almonds all may be used as fat savers.
for they are especially rich In fat. II
is certain that II you have on hand a
large supply Of nuts you can add at
tractive and varied dishes to your
meals at little expense. The protein
and. fat are combined In the nut much
as they are In meat. which makes II q
good substitute for meat. vegetnriars
have learned to make many attractive
combination dishes from nuts. such as
nut loaves. croquettes and souffies.
which they serve in place Of meat.

WAS A NURSE IN FOUR WARS
English Woman, Veteran Of Many
Previous Campaigns. Served In

Mrs. Teresa Eden Richardson. who
died recently at Bath, England. was a

During the South African war. says

when the epidemic of enteric fever
tried to the utmost the resources Of
the medical staff. Afterward. through
the japanese minister, she was at
tached to the Red Gross society Of
Japan during the war with Russia.
Later she nursed at Athens during
the war between Greece and Turkey,
and when the present war broke out,
being then sixty-eight years old. she
went to Brierfort, near Brussels. After
the German armies had occupied that
place she nursed at one Of the hos
pitfalls Of Antwerp throughout the bonn
bardment, she and her maid being the
only persons who remained at her ho-
tel. Mrs. Richardson was one of the
last to leave the town. escaping down
the Scheldt In coal barge crowded
with refugees. The-privation endured
at this period seriously affected her
health and she was compelled to aban-
don further attempts to render help
In Red Cross hospitals In London and
Nice.
