ST. VALENTINES DAY.
BY Edgar A. Gue s'

Let loose the sails Of love and let
them NIL
with breezes sweet with tenderness
today;
scorn not the praises youthful low
ers say;
Romance is old, but It is lovely still.
Not he who shows his love deserves
the jeer,
Rut he who speaks not what she
longs to hear.
There is no shame in loves devoted
speech.
Man need not blush his tenderness
to show,
IT'S shame to love and never let
To kee nef his his heart forever out Of
reach.
Not he the fool who lets his love
But he who spurns 1T when his love
is won. &
Men proudly vaunt their love Of gold
and fame,
High station and accomplishments
Yet Of life'ss greatest conquest they
are still
And deem it weakness or an act Of
To seem to place high value on the
love
Which first Of all they should be
proudest of.
Let loose the sails Of love and let
them take
The tender breezes till the day be
spent.
Only the fool chokes out LIES senti-
ment.
She is a prize too lovely to forsake.
Be not ashamed to send your valen-
tine;
She has your love, but needs its out
ward sign.

THE "JARRlNG NOTE"

y Associated Press dispatches from Minneapolis carry
trahe information>tha the North Dakota branch Of the
andeague to Enforce Peace Thursday evening elected
Gersishop Tyler Of Fargo honorary president. The details
wifi the action are set forth in the following words:
me state conventions of the delegates of the
by congress held at the Minneapolis auditorium
M = after the adjournment of the afternoon session
% sqa were marked with only one Earring note; The
Of North Dakota delegates. by a vote of So to Z. re- .
TN fused to make Governor Lynn J. Frazier hon
sail orary president. They voted that position to
Iro Bishop ]. P. Tyler of Fargo"
pol The honorary presidency is usually given to a man
Gurrlyho represents something and who combines dignity with
.act and sagacity. But the North Dakota delegation
.ee.vidently did not think that Mr.. Frazier could be consid-
o'cTed a representative of their state except in an official
ss,rsNsay. They knew him better than did the delegates from
stHSneratch him at home-to observe his actions. and to be
sTpplmazed at his subserviency to the Master whose every
balFish' is a command to the governor. Briefly, the North
nIHftbakota delegation wanted a representative man in the
'ndaational peace enforcement organization, and they showed
bbrrldmirable taste in not considering Mr.. Frazier such a rep
HSresentative.
s e Events have conclusively proven that he is not a
"ture representative of the state in the popular. sense; nor is he
eva representative of the interests that make for the well
so1:are of the state. He is the Townley representative
anhe Townley ambassador plenipotentiary and envoy extra
TMMssrdinary to whatever domain Mr.. Townley thinks should
haze brought in contact with the blessings of the Nom
Bipartisan league. He represents nothing at a conference
like the one in Minnea polis-but it may be that he was
hSomnanded to represent the autocrat of North Dakota
Wat the meeting in order to find out if the soil was in such
Al condition as to invite and encourage cooperation be-
Tween the peace enforcement league and the Nonpartisan
sfaeague. If that is so-and no one knows-the result must
oihave struck him as deeply significant. And it may be
ppathat Mr.. Frazier feels his very presence was in, itself a
dr.jarring note.'

WRITER ADVOCATES
EARLY MARRIAGES

Sooner or later all men will OF
should marry so why wait until enc
in on the downward side OF hfe's hill
before making the change.
Change is right as it means de-
cided change, especially in later
years. Anywhere between the ages
of 20 to 80 years will do. Twenty
five years preferred. At twenty five
years "a man should be perfectly ma
tured and know about what line of
work, he is best fitted for and he
should. then begin plans for hcme
of his own and should be willing to
take the responsibilities of fam
lily. If he has health and moderate
amount 81 intellect and plenty of
ambition he must win. Always pro-
v.dlng he gets the right girl.
He must not expect all sunshine DIS
all lives have their shadows but must
hang in and beware Of making many
changes until in a very few years his
home will be his own and think what
that means as compared to the life
of a single man with no home, no
family and usually no nothing. No
fellow need hesitate to start out these
times as compared to earlier days. To
be sure the cost of living is high, but
everything that goes for making the
living is high also hand labor and
farm produce make it equal so that
by careful spending and moderate
living one can save these days. OBJ
servat.on shows that our prosperous
men were early married not waiting
until their strength began to wave
before starting the home.
One fellow starting at the age of
nineteen years with a seventeen year
old bride has with his hands alone
purchased beautiful farm built his
own buildings which are surrounded
by many trees of his own settings and
at the age of fifty years is all free
frcm debt and ready to enjoy life at
its fullest.
This is only one instance Of the
many that come under observation of
early marriages with no$capital, And
this too during the hardl tinaoe Of the
past thirty years.
Ever notice the expression Of dis
content, worry and dissatisfaction on

The great c"World War" with ita
stupendous demands, he's brought
about very exacting changed condi-
tions.
The sudden transfer of such a hest
Of men, over from the field of pro-
ducers, to the class Of consumersz
among other unnatural conditions
threw the food problem, out CT nor
NAL equilibrium hence the high cost
Of living.
This stress Of demand was over
reaching the. supply and touched, not
only the great commercial centers
but was felt in every hamlet, village
and suburb and knocked desperately
at every home.
A search was made for greater
variety of food stuffs, various SUB
at tutes were recommended, which
came speedily and in vast numbers
to the relief.
To increase supply "intense form
ing, vacant lots and "war gardens
were encouraged, the superior value
of home grown fruit and vegetables
was cited.
These with many other plans of
conservation and utility have helped
in a marked degree, to bridge ever
this stressed condition, but we are
not entirely by. The high cost is
still on and the demand is still calling
for far greater supply. How is this
need and call to be met?
The people of Belding are surely
TO be commended fer the willing re-
Spouse they have already made, the
truth of which, the many thrifty
gardens testify. But these good
gardens should not all be on your
ma; ghlIors lot. There is no gocii
reason why Tcnia and Greenville
should raise your fruit and berries
for you, nor should you always be
content to go to Texas for your on
ions. AS long as you continue such
program, prices will be too high.
This is an age Of intense farming,
intense attention makes possible the
factory's payroll.
Why not put more intense interest
into your backyard, that vacant lot
or unused acre? and let them give
you "hcme grown" supply of fruit
berries and vegetables, to bless your
table, drive away the "high cost" and
help make Bedding Beautiful.
