give pictorial fuency to his style. He
sees exactly; he records exactly-whieh is
the summit of literary artistry.
The opening chapter is called The Face.

chlldhke, dimpled chin, a proud NOUS

Profound and ehildike'- indeed, that is
the face of France, the face of Ver,Iun
and the face of Domremy.
Here is a picture of a canvas hall,
lighted by electricity" which he visited:
Hanged side by side on the uneven
ground the wounded formed a mosaic of
suffering humanity, eolored with the tiuts
OF war, dirt and blood; smelling with the
odors of war, sweat and putrefaetion; ;
eiamorous with the cries, the lamentations,
the death rattle that are the very voice
and the music of war. This spectacle

The title leaps at you like a challenge
the title on the front of the book of
Georges Duhamel 1t is called CiUilizG-
ton: 1914-19fS. To the book was
awarded the Goneourt Prize for the year
1918. Last year The Flame Of France,
Prize for 1917. The books are greatly
alike in that they depict the heroisn,
pathos, horrors and glory Of the Great
War. Both books were written by men
who handle the French language with the
pen of master word magicians. Both
books are terrible indictments of the gods
who rule our destinies. Both books have
inscribed on IN unwritten page that great
formula of AnatOle France, Irony and
Pity" Both books were written by men
who love mankind and who possess that
marvellous balance of emotional SENSIBLE
ity with intellectual sensibiEty that IS the
birthright of the French people and that
makes them the flower of modern civil
ization, as Greece was the perfect bla-
zonry of pagan culture.
Georges Duhamel, as all those who
know French literature can testify, IS one
of the greatest prose writers of France
that is to say, then, of the world. The
French mind, of which Georges Duhamel
is perfect type, thinks clearly, vibrantly,
defnitively. When q great Frenchman
has said thing it is said for all time.
The Wildes, the Shaws, the Chestertons
and the SymOnses merely work it over. To
know all of French literature and art is to
know the French soul completely and ut
terly. This cannot be said Of any other
people, except the Irish. The French
vision and, their soul, their culture and
their character exist. whole. and undivided
in every poet, painter or writer of. the
first order that France has produced. ~.
Georges Duhamel is also doctor. In
times of peace, from 8 o'clock till noon,
his business is medicine. For the rest Of
the day be is a writer. For four years
he has been on the staff of a surgical
automobile, the autoclave. This machine
is the most perfect invention in ambu-
lances. 1t is the greatest workshop yet
known on any battlefield. From the in
terror of this terrible apparatus on wheels
has come forth his great book, ironically
called Civilization. Out Of this house Of
life and death, moving over the slaughter
houses of France, he brought his sketches
which make the sixteen chapters Of the
book.
Each chapter is a story in itself. Sill
houettes of he'll. Canoes of beauty.

leaps at you; the word that coins terri
BILE image; the word that drops like
sun into your mind; the word that haunts

There are no long sentences in this lit
erary masterpiece. Duhamel evokes emo
ton with the crashing short sentence, like
Victor Hugo and Edgar Saltus. He
never spins out his descriptions with
dashes. Passion and color and emotion

HAMMOCK FOR BABY
USED IN FORD

Many a weary mother has stayed
home rather than hold baby on her lap
for long auto trip. She need not do
this, for it is very easy to make q
hammock to be suspended back Of the
front seat Of the Ford, and here let
the baby sleep. F. G. Hathaway, Co.
Agent Of Walsh County, has used
such hammock for two children and
each has ridden many hundred miles
in this way. He gives the following
descriptions for making such ham,
mock: Take two pieces 3-8 inch rope
each long enough to reach from one
top bow around back Of the seat to
the other. Splice into these two short
pieces to make rectangle about a
foot wide and nearly as long as the
car body is wide. Leave ends Of rope
at the four corners to tie to the four
bows Of the top. III
Over this rectangle fit a denim
basket about 2 feet deep. This will
make very satisfactory, hammock,
and one that can be used any time of
the year. Baby carried in it will be
happier than in mothers lap and the
mother will have a pleasant trip.

LOSS lS,BLAMED
TO POLITICIAN
MANY NEAR HILLSBORO WERE
PERSUADED TO RENOUNCE
STATE INSURANCE

A striking example of the effects
of listening to I. v. A. politicians has
been furnished farmers near Hills
boro and Cummings, N. D., in the op-
Grafton in that vicinity of the state
hail insurance law. Through the ef-
forts of an I. V. A. politician who
travelled with the opposition assessor
among the farmers, some League
farmers and considerable number of
other farmers withdrew from the
state hail insurance and have suffered
great losses. On the other hand, the
strong League members refused to
withdraw and as a result have sub
stantial sums coming from the state
covering their losses.
According to J. L. Richardson, q
Nonpartisan League organizer, who
has been working in that section, this
politician travelled with the county as
SCISSOR for no other reason than to
knock state hail insu1 ance, the assess
or's presence lending an air Of ,offic-
ial authority to all the politician said.
He told some Of the farmers that
state hail insurance would cost them
from $3.50 to $500 per acre. The ac-
tual cost this year on the contrary
will not be over 35 cents an acre. 9th
ers were told it would take so per
cent of their crops to pay the state
insurance.
Many farmers believed these stories
and withdrew. Among these were a
number Of League members. Every
farmer who was thus persuaded 70
withdraw has had cause since to re-
lgret his course. Hail has covered
that entire section. Some have been
completely hailed out; others have suf-
fered minor losses. Among these men
this politician has become very unpop-
ular. They feel that they have been
caused to suffer losses merely for the
effect that their withdrawal might
have on the vote in the referendum
A great many strong League MEM
bers refused to withdraw from the
state insurance, and as a result are
having their hail losses covered by the
state. A League booster who has
been assisting in the work Of organi-
zation has had his losses assessed and
will get $4,000 from the state. 9th
er Leaguers will draw substantial
sums. In contrast to this is the case
Of one man who had section plant
ed in grains and who was complete
ly hailed out. He owed several thous-
and dollars for machinery. Had he
refused to listen to the I. v. A. poll
tician he would have been entitled to
draw from the state at the rate of 81
per acre, $4,480.00. e.
"Some Of the results of these ex-
periences," said Organizer Richardson
"are that the !. v. A. has been greatly
discredited among these farmers; the
farmers are all strong for state hail
insurance now, and organization work
is easier there than it has ever been
before"
