%ONE-SEVENTH BEHIND

(From The Columbus Dispatch.)
In the discussions recently concern
ing the Sunday newspaper religi-

resolution to oppose the Sunday pa
per-one of the minister cautioned
The assembly against taking radical
action upon the question. Let us be
sensible about this matter" he said.
1.-The Sunday newspaper is just as
necessary as the Sunday trolley,
which you attempted to condemn sew
eral years ago." He went on to show
that the necessity of the Sunday pa
per had been amply demonstrated
during the war.
The one thing which many people
fail to recognize is the fact that the
Sunday newspaper is made Saturday
night and not on Sunday. There
would be more logic in opposing the
the Sunday morning newspaper, II one
were thinking only of preventing la
Dor on the Sabbath.
But it really makes little difference
about the discussions. The Sunday
newspaper has established it's place
and it hasn't harmed the churches
either. 1t is going to remain in its
place, too, regardless of all discus
sions. 1t is now championed by many
Of the ablest az well as many Of the
most religious minds in the world,
and any organization that opposes it is
simply fighting the elements them
selves-or they might as well fight
the elements. To be deprived of the
news of the world for day a week
is to be one-seyenth ignorant. And ia

pers with their additional features

The Pacific Naval Fleet
(From Minneapolis Tribune.)

(From Minneapolis Tribune.)
California and the rest of the Pa
cifc coast are at last to have a long
expressed wish gratif1ed. They are
assured a formidable, naval fleet-one
of such proportions as they scarcely
dared to dream about as late as three
years ago. Stationed in the Western
waters will be approximately ITS YES
sells, including eight dreadnaughts, six
pre-dreadnaughts, II cruisers, IA sub
marines. 1OS destroyers Of the latest
type and other craft required for var
ious naval purposes. A full compile
ment for this armada will call for l.
500 commissioned officers and $1,000
men. but in peace times a full com.
plement rarely is maintained.
This stationing of naval equipment
in the Pacific should go far to allay
the anxiety Of those who have been
saying more Or less impressively that
if there is to be another great war to
which the United States is a party.
that war is more likely to be on the
These prophets may be right and
they may be wrong. Some of them
have laid pla,Hible ground for their
predictions, They have seen and
heard things in the Orient that lead
them to believe the United States
should be vigilant of germs Of trou-
BILE in that part Of the world. They
believe the life principle in these
germs has been quickened rather than
made %quiescent by events of the last
few months. The government of this
country will do we'll to act upon that
theory as If it were the correct one.
1t has been said that japan put for

! DROP j ,]NPRlCE
IS LOOKED FOR
Arrival Of Home Grown
Vegetables on Market to
Bring Reduction.

a general drop in vegetable prices
may be expected in Grand Forks dur
ing the next week or two according to
o. j. Barnes, local commission mer-
chant.
Commenting today on the general
fall of prices reported from the Twin
Cities, Mr.. Barnes said that it was
due to the fact hat in that region the
home grown vegetables were now ap-
pearing in the market in large quanti-
ties, while here a large proportion of
the vegetables are still being shipped
in from outside points.
This is especially true in regard to
potatoes, Mr.. Barnes pointed out as in
southern Minnesota, the home grown
new potatoes are beginning to reach
the local markets in large numbers.
while here the new potato crop is not
ready a. yet except in isolated in
stances.
The percentage Of reduction prices
is' no greater this yea han formerly
Mr.. Barnes states, although the fact
that generally higher prices have pre-
vailed will make the drop larger in
actual dollars and cents.
Along certain lines in which the To-
cal crop is already being marketed
lower prices already obtain, it is
