The man who does otherwise is not true either to himself or to the land that shelters, feeds and clothes him. There were many who honestly thought we should mot go to war with Germany. But the great majority of American people thought other- wise. So did the president; and the congress. Each was clearly entitled to his individual opinion until such time as the matter was definitely settled one way or the other. But with war actually in existence, with our armies hurrying into the fleld, with our navy making preparations to sweep the seas, with our young men rushing to the colors, there can be but one path for us to treall —ABSOLUTE LOYALTY TO OUR COUNTRY. ‘Whatever our beliefs may have been in the past, our country now is at war, and we must support it with our every drop of blood and our every dollar of wealth. Those who think that it will be simply a bluff at war—merely the assembling of an army that will drill for a few months and then go home —will be woefully mistaken. The United States has ever been loath and slow to draw the sword, but once drawn it will never be sheathed until victory is complete and our énemy is no longer able to do us harm. PRACTICAL EFFICIENCY ON THE N. P. . Efforts of the Northern Pacific railway’s bureau of efficiency resulted in a decrease of 41 pér cent in errors made on less than carload freight handled during 1916, the first year the department was in existence. This showing was made despite an increase of nearly 40 per cent in tonnage moved. Fred M. Metcalfe, representative of the first vice president and head of the bureau, is issuing a report for last year which also gives' other in- teresting data concerning the elimination of accidents. It shows that in- juries to passengers decreased 37 per cent as compared with the preceding year. Although there was a total increase of 32,774 employes for the year, or an average of 2,761 per month, the number of injuries, slight and otherwise, was only one per cent. This is regarded as a splendid show- ing because many new and inexperienced men were added to the force to handle the large business increase. During the year ending December 31, 1916, injuries due to physical conditions and methods largely in the company’s control were only ten per cent of the total, a decrease of 15 per cent over 1915. The remaining 90 per cent was chargeable to personal negligence. The department is waging an unceasing campaign against the personal negligence feature. This applies to the railway’s patrons and employes as well as to trespassers and civilians, including automobile drivers. Lurid editorials continue to tell us that America is wallowing in gold. Will some one kindly construct a hundred foot canal leading straight to our door? g Farmers are complaining that their hens refuse to set, but this simply emphasizes the good sense of the “biddies” in refusing to spoil high priced eggs. . “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,” and from Trecent reports some heads are not very easy after the crown has been removed. Better plant that garden and get it in shape before you are called off to the war. The wife and kids can finish it, and they may need it. The world’s consumption of cotton last year was 12,250,000,000 pounds, of which we consumed one perfectly good pair of sox. Don’t worry—volunteers will flock to the colors thicker than bees at swarming time. Free spuds and beans will do this. Some people complain mildly because of a lack of money, but we just - open our mouth and shout. Gold may nct be able to win love, but it makes it slide along a whole lot smoother. Fame.

As a rule, the good dodger does mot have to stand many bumps. The chap with nothing on his mind generally has a lot on his tongue. Fools jump on the accelerator where angels would pull on the emergency brake. Next to wisdom, the ability to look like ready monmey is probably most to be desired. The cooing dove of courtship some- times becomes the screech owl of mat- rimony. It is evident that a lot of us are not going to cut as much ice in the eyes of posterity as we foolishly imagine we shall. Some old fashioned winters seem to have a more disastrous effect on the weather prophet than others. COUNTY DIVISION BILL MAY COME BEFORE PEOPLE 1918 The county division bill fathered by Senator L. H. Nord has finally passed the House with practically no opposition. let in the senate about three weeks ago, there was nothing further need- ed outside of the governor’s signa- ture and that was attached last week. The bill provides that the new county must have an assessed valua- tion of two million- dollars before a vote is allowed. It was thought at first that it would not be possible to bring the matter to a vote until 1920, but as over two hundred thou- sand acres were placed on the Bel- trami tax lists about two weeks ago under the provisions of the Volstead act, and as the major part of this land is in the area embraced in the proposed new county, it is thought that it will be possible to bring the division question up before the voters of the county in 1918.
