The Strength Of Giants.
From the Dearborn independent.

Fascinating to u drama loving eyes were all these massive move
ments of the great powers, A big four or a big five stand upon our
little globe and divide it like an orange, and all t forests and plans
and mountain ranges to one another, or to lesser powers. A pencil was
drawn across a map in Versailles, and 100000 souls in tawny skins
enter upon a new destiny. The point of the pencil breaks, and hall
of that 100000 remain as they were.
But while these great powers were thus guiding the world like gods
Of old, there were many tiny powers that moved among them, and
apparently these little states ere quite as assured in their movements
as the mightest Of the victors. Finland plans her foreign policy as if
she were fortified forever behind her SHOWS. Esthonia, yesterday
merely a name in geography, makes bargains with Britain like a
nation. Iiechtenstein, that almost invisible prmcipality in a nook OF
the Alps, sent an envoy to express the opinion of sovereign Iiechten-
stein Of the League of Nations. "a
In fact, the geographers re learning Of some states whose
existence was previously unknown. Little kings from the pine
Swallowed Caucasus, little republics wedged between two hills of the
Pyrenees, tribes whose domain lies in their fluttering and shifting tents
Just off the caravan routes of Arabia, presented their claims as nations.
They asked all that Finland asks, u Esthonia, or Poland, or Czecho-
Slovakia, and these ask all that is demanded by Great Britain or the
United States.
In all the grandeur Of the great powers there is nothing SO grand
as this: that the hniest states feel safe in the same world with nations
Of 1000 ships and armies which lately numbered millions. Despite
our temporary despairs and cynicSms, we r passing away from the
age in which a powerful nation was necessarily an oppressor of weak
states, in which a weak state was necessarily the oppressed victim of
some greater power. Shakespeare said: at is excellent to have a
giant S strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant" Today
civilization stands forth in a strength gigantic and barbaric, but the
heart of it is still the heart OF democracy.

TELEGRAPH WIRES ARE

Lead. S. D., July 1.-THE discovery

quent complaint during the past few
weeks. Because of the difficulty with
the Wires telegraph business was
greatly hampered. On some days, be-
cause of the condition of the wires, it
was impossible for a local paper to re-
esive more than a part OF it's telegraph
news report, and OF other occasions
the receipt of the report was seriously
delayed. Linemen of the company now
have accidentally discovered that at a
point where the wires Of the two COM
panies passed close to each other the
wires had been drawn together and
twisted in UGH a manner as to des-
troy the circuit in both wires. The
authorities now are investigating and
the arrest of several boys alleged to
have been implicated is expected.

If there's work that should be done.

methods never pay--do it now. If you'd

freight; pull 1t now. If you'd buy next
winters coal. buy 1t now; II you wish
to save a roll, AVE it now: for no man
can rise and say what may happen
when today is worn out and laid away:

France Will Clean House.

From the Seattle Times.
1t Is none of Americas business, but the
fact remains nevertheless that France is
destined to go through a period of house
cleaning, probably in the very near future.
Powerful French agencies are striving to
continue and perpetuate the drastic regu-
latiors on industry which war rendered
necessary, because they ave found these
regulations profit their personal interests.
Sugar is furnished candy factories and
canning concerns in unlimited amount,
but is doled out to the people. One who
will pay eXorbitant prices can obtain all
the candy he desires-but he must get
along with a scanty provision of sweeten-
ing for domestic use. American business
men, desiring to do business with Euro
pean concerns, find they must negotiate
with mysterious trade organizations,
which say what they may sell and to
whom, what the Frenchman may buy
and from whom.

Filling the Vacuum.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
With the advent Of prohibition the
church militant faces a new duty and *
new responsibility. The saloon was the
clubhouse of poor men. They met in it
for a cheerful convlv,allty generally de-
MED them elsewhere. Human nature, like
any other sort of nature. abhors a
vacuum. Alcohol may be denatured much
more quickly than many OF those who
have been in the habit of consuming it.
In social reform the end desired is not
achieved by merely sweeping away what
ever is, without providing an acceptable
substitute. Those who no longer fore
gather under the genial eye of the bar
tender now fcrlornly seek another rem
devious.
Surely, If it Is important hat people.

ant that the church Should go TO the.
people. especially in this era of restless
quest and question, when the foundations
OF faith are tested and those who pro-
TESS q genuine interest in their fellow men
are called>upon to prove it by their works.

SPRING WHEAT IS

Red Rust and Blight Reverse
Conditions In South Dakota
Winter Crop a
Heavy Yield.

Parkston, s. D., July 11.-Hundreds
or thousands of acres of spring wheat
IN central, southern and eastern South
Dakota hat 10 days ago promised
yields of 20 to 40 BUSHES per acre are
so badly hit with red rust n blight
two to five bushels per acre will be the
yield. Many farmers will make no eff
tort TO harvest the crop, will let it fail
and turn the straw under. Other will
cut for the forage it will afford while
many others will turn sheep and other
stock into the fields.
The wheat most affected is of the
Marquis variety. a heavy yielder in
favorable years. 1t is a smooth headed
variety. Later sown fields and the
bearded varieties Hre not badly af-
fected and still give promise OF abund-
ant crops.
Many thousands OF acree Ct winter
wheat have been harvested or are

MITCHELL LAUNCHES
BIG PAVING PROGRAM

Mitchell, S. D., July 11.-What ulti-
mately will he one of TIC MOS. CON-
~prehensive paving programs ever un-
dertaken by any city in South Dakota,
vase launched by the city council Mon
day evening. Preliminary plans were
made for the paving of five miles OF
city streets. The work will begin next
spring as soon as the weather condi-
tons permit. 1t is likely that before
the contracts are let neX winter, ad-
ditional streets will be designated for
paving. Already there are seven miles
Of hard surfaced roads in the city lin
it's. The additions already planned will
give Mitchell IL miles of well paved
boulevards. 1t is believed that this will
exceed the pavings of n other city in
the state.
