THE TROUBLES OF THE GREAT.
lAM~E

Held his course hoe'er assailed;
Never once his courage failed,
And today we find his name
Linked to everlasting fame.
Care may make q man Of you,
Lincoln had his troubles, too.
Men who never meet a woe
Never have to bear a blow.
Never rise above the throng;
With the stream they drift along.
Only those who dare to fight
For a cause they know is right =
And can set their teeth and hear
All the headache Of despair
Conquer failure: they alone
Make success at last their own.
In this thought find courage new
Great men had their troubles, too.

Skies were often overcast
For the great men of the past,
Disappointments came their way;
They had many a rainy day;
Many a burden hard to bear.
Many a stony path to fare:
And because today you think
You are standing on the brink
OF disaster don't give in!
Keep your courage and your grin!
See your time of trial through!
Washington had troubles. too.
Lincoln had his days Of doubt,
Days when he was hedged about
By a pack of dangers grim.
But they neve daunted him.

PROCURED TO
I; SHEER SHEEP FOR
. GROWERS OF COUNTY

Arrangements have been made with
a crew to shear sheep in this county,
and it is desired to route these shear
ers among the wool growers where
ever needed. Preference will be given
to the members Of the Grand Forks
County Wool Growers association.
Notice has been sem most of the wool
growers of the county, asking them
to give information as to the location
Of their farms and the number of
sheep to be sheared. If the wool
growers desire shearers they should
furnish the farm Bureau with this
Information at an early date, as this
outfit will begin work on May 10th.
Last year there vas considerable
difficulty on the part Of some in Sc
curing shearers, some sheep in the
county not being sheared until the
last of July which is too late. The
shearers this year are charging 15c
and zoe per head, board and gasoline
furnished.

mans-Punishmen Cannot
Be Too Severe. IN
BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

When a robber breaks into your
house and steals that which he can
carry away and then destroys that
which he cannot steal, you expect that
when caught he will be punished both
for what he stole and for what he de-
stroyed.
So 1t is with Germany.
The German army, acting under the
orders Of the German government,
stole everything 1t could carry away in
the invaded sections of Belgium and
France, and what 1t could not carry
away Il destroyed.
was in the city Of Lille very short
ly after the retreating Germans had
evacuated 1t. Before the war Lille
had been one Of the busiest and most
prosperous manufacturing towns In all
of Europe. Its great factories, pro-
ducing linens, cottons, velvets, ribbons
and wooden goods, had patrons all over
the world and its sugar and chemical
plants supplied much Of France with
these products.
For four years, during the German
occupation, the factories of Lille had
been idle. They are idle today, and
they will be idle for many months to
come. The reason Is that Germany
stole the machinery from all of these
factories, or in the very few cases
where actual theft was not possible or
profitable, they destroyed the machln-
cry. The people Of Lille told me that
this theft of machinery had been car.
rted to such lengths that the Huns
even invaded the homes of the people
and took from them their sewing ma.
chimes.
Germans Fathers of Their Babes.
The German army looted this beau
tlful French city of more than 200,-
900 population. 1t stole not alone the
machinery from its factories and its
homes, but even its people. French
mothers told me of how 5000 young
girls Of twenty-five years Of age and
under had been carried away ut one

BRITISH HONDURAS HOT SPOT
Steam-Heatine Plants and Heavy
overcoats Never In Demand in
That Part of the Earth,

British Honduras keeps its Christ
mas In the shade. From its position,
pretty near to the equator, and wedged
in between Yucatan and Guatemala, 1t
1t is always hot In that country, and
especially so when 1t is midwinter
with us. 1t Is land of costly woods,
innumerable semivarieties Of them, and
Of lovely flowers. II is one Of the ma
tive homes Of hummingblrds and COR
geous butterflies. In fact, nature Is
rather more gaudy than neat In that
part Of the world. English people
settled there from Jamaica as long
ago as in 1857, but 1t was not until
over century later that treaty ar
engagements with Spain made their no.
sition secure as still inhabitants of the
British empire. A good deal of the
country Is marshland but the Cocks
comb mountains which run into Hon
duras from Guatemala are In places
1000 feet high, and wherever really
dry land is found the ground Is won
derfully fertile. Mahogany grows
there to perfection so does the log
wood used for dyeing, also bananas,
nlantains and coconuts. The capital,
Belize, is the chief port of entry, and
the center Of the rubber Industry,
which depends upon regularly tended
plantations.

girls with German babies. Money will
not pay for these things but money
and work can in some small decree
pay for the wrecked factories and rll-
ined business of the city OF Lille, and
| through the payment OF this money
and labor the people of Germany VIII
learn that might Is not right, and that
war for the purpose Of gratifying a
| selfish ambition Is not profitable.
Why Lille Was Not Destroyed.
The German retreat from Lille came
near the close of the war when the
Germans knew they were beaten and
they would have to pay, and for that
reason the city itself was not de-
stroyed. But the fact that II was not
destroyed is but another evidence Of
German selhshness rather than of vir-
tue.
There are hundreds Of cities and
towns that have been destroyed after
being looted as Lille was looted; hun-
dreds of towns where even the mate
rial of which they were built has been
carried away that 1t might be used In
the construction of Notifications be-
hind which the German army might
defend itself and its ill-gotten gains.
For all Of these Germany should pay
now, and for generations to come.
No sympathetic pardon board should
sit on Germany's case. No sentiment
alist should have a voice In deciding
her punishment. There is no more
if as much, reason for leniency in fix.
ing the punishment Of Germany than
there would be for leniency In fixing the
punishment of the ruthless slayer of
your son or your daughter. Germany
must pay all that the present and fu-
ture generations can pay, and she will
even then have expiated her crime only
in small degree.
Any Demand Not Too Great.
I am sure / know the desire Of the
American people for fair play in all
things, including the settlement with
Germany. They would not wish to do
the German people an injustice in the
demand for reparation. AS rode mile
after mile over the devastated fields
of Belgium and northern France, as
passed through town after town that
had been destroyed because Of a mad
craze for loot and world domination,
felt that could the American people
but see the things 1 was seeing, they
would feel, as l felt, that any demand
that might be made could not be un-
fair. Could they have seen the ruins
of the beautiful cities OF Ypres, Ar
mentieres, La Bassee, PerOnne, ST.
Quentin, NoyOn, Lens and many hun
dreds Of others, they, too, would
say with one voice: Germany must
pay"
The boche will appeal, and in fact
is appealing, for the sympathy of the
