This is} the third Belgian relief ship that the; Germans have torpedoed since Feb, 1. In each case the ship was unarmed | and was cor spicuously labeled. The German submarine command-; er in each case must have known! exactly what he was doing. The German government knows | that millions of women and children | in Belgium are starving through no | fault of their own.

On its face the torpedoing of these Belgian supply ships is a manifesta- tion of savage ferocity unparalleled in the history of the modern world. EW NATIONALISM. | War or no war, there can be noth-| ing much more important to our readers than the series of articles} we have started, written by members of the national council for defense. Peace hath its calamities, as well} ag war. For one thing, every one of us has been so everlastingly chasing the dollar that was just in front of us that we've worked away from na- tionalism quite a bit. Deery the mil- itaristic part of Germany's intense} nationalism all we please, we have to; wonder and admire what that nation-! alism has produced in the useful arts and sciences. Our systematic organ-) ization of national resources for de-| fense in war is bound to teach us the importance of and profit in similar organization to combat diseases, cial evils and financial disturbance to say nothing of binding us closer} together as a country. It is only when Mars shakes his bloody fist at us that we really get together to push and pull for nation alism. The rest of the time, it is pretty much a struggle to get a spe- |" cial cinch or knock off some other party's cinch, Until war threatens, we waste and let our greatest bless- ing, democracy, do its own cultiva- tion, fertilization and irrigation. But a nation progresses only through what it gains, in solidity and viril- ity, in peace. Mr. Howard Coffin, chairman of the committee on Industrial Prepared ness, has two propositions ttt par- ticularly strike us. He proposes to organize the manu- facturing plants for war order emer- gency and then issue to them “edu- cational orders” for products, such orders to be small, so as not to inter- fere with the plants’ ordinary prod- ucts, and to be under government in- spection. The wisdom of this is evi- dent. The government would always know just where to go for what it wanted. Mr. Coffin’s second thought is that advertisement of our being thus organized would be the strong-} est sort of notice to other nations not to jump on our backs. Our success in war and our success! in peace depend upon money and or- ,ganization of industrial resources. ‘We have the money. Napoleon him- self couldn’t wage war, in these times without scientific industrial organi- zation to back him. The world’s pro- fessional warriors well realize that jndustrial preparation is high class because war has become a “wearing” process, and* “United We Stand” means a whole lot more than it used ‘ Jed, was his ‘lar were safe, | priced complete car ‘Jof old-time, honest “St. Jacob’s Oil” |CONFLAGRATION RECALLED | By MANY OLDER CITIZENS is the fortieth anniversary of | st great fire, which | royed the 54-year-old | city’s ness district. | At 3 o'clock in the morning, Satur- day, March 17, 1877, someone who had | tarted early celebrating St. Patrick's day kicked over the stove in the pio- neer Main street saloon, known as | The Hole-in-the-Wall, The flame spread quickly to adjoining frame and ' log buildings, and before the blaze | could be controlled everything from | nd’s down to and including | n house, or from the cor- | ner of Fifth and ‘Main, where the Mc-| Kenzie now stands, to the present site| { of Richmond's shoe store, was destroy: | ed. | Pioneers Lost Heavily. | Among those who suffered in the| conflagration was J.

Mayville normal is to have its new dormitory. Senate Bill 139 appro- priates from the local funds of the in- stitution $50,000 to be used together with a specific appropriation of $25,000 contained in the general bud- ; get for the building of a dormitory. The budget appropriation probably will be vetoed, but Mayville still will have $50,000. * WELFARE COMMISSION. North Dakota is to have a public welfare commission, with at least one woman member, created for the study of conditions surrounding the labor of women and children, and with power to fix maximum hours and minimum wages. Governor Frazier signed House Bill 69, which looks out for the ladies and the youngsters, ture and labor are ex-officio members of .the commission, KILLDEER PARK STARTED. Representative Liderbach’s concur- rent resolution calling upon congress and the superintendent of national parks to consider the Killdeer moun- tains as a historical park and nation- al game preserve is now on its way to Washington, Governor Frazier hav- ing expressed his approval yesterday. Another bill reserves except for park purposes the lands which Represent- ative Liederbach would have includ- ed in the Killdeer mountains nation- al playground, and friends of the movement are confident something definite will come of it. Probably no more historically interesting or scen- ically attractive spot exists in North Dakota than the Killdeer region. TRADING STAMPS ARE NIX.

This bill imposes a prohibitive license tax on trading stamps, premiums and other merchandising schemes. It did not get by the legislature without con- siderable difficulty, but it is now fin- ally by, approved by -the governor, and endorsed by the attorney general as constitutional and Workable. GOVERNOR ACCEPTS ‘BID. Governor Frazier, who s6 far as can be learned will be the first North Da- kota chief executive to enjoy the honor, yesterday accepted the invita- tion of the People’s institute of New York to deliver an address Friday, April 13, at Cooper Union on the subject of marketing in its relation of the critical situation: now existing in ‘New York with relation to the ‘food problem, the governor's. talk is expect- ed to attract nation-wide attention.

A. Bronson as the date for the hear-! ing in Grand Forks on the petition of | the insurance commission for the dis- | solution of, the ‘Northern Fire & rine Insurance company. The entire capital of the Northern was wiped out Jast year by heavy hail losses, Upon} demand from the insurance com- | oner that this impairment be re-} paired, the company proposed levying a 100 per cent assessment on out- standing stock. This was agreed to; by the commissioner.

As the improvements are made in Dodge Brothers car nothing is said to Dodge Brothers dealers, or to the public, about: them. This is in pursuance of a policy inaugurated by Dodge Brothers at the very outset. They look upon the progressive improvement of the car as a matter of course. It is a plain duty they owe to themselves and. and to the public. There is no necessity or heralding these im- provements in advance. The public finds out about them in due time, and expresses appreciation and approval. And so, while the process of bettensient goes on every day, nothing i is said of it until after it is The car is basically the same car as it was two ‘ Yet there isn’t a bit of doubt but that it is a better car. The car of today is worth more money than the car of two years ago. The price is the same, but the car is a better Not because the costs of .materials have- in- creased—although they have. But especially struction have That is proven ST “Tourin: = XN because the standards of con- been steadily raised—the shop practice made steadily finer. And still, the buyers of the first cars, and every subsequent car, received full value. by the fact that all of the cars, no matter how long ago they were built, are giving good service today. It is still further proven by the high price they command when sold at second hand. Good Value--- Always Growing Greater Any car built by Dodge Brothers commands a high price—whether it was built twenty-two months, or twelve months, or two months ago. This high valuation on any car bearing Dodge Brothers name, has been fixed, not by them, but F ' by the public. Dodge Brothers have had few market prob- Jems to bother them, and practically nothing to do but make the car better. They, are their own, severest critics, and they will never wait for the public to ter car from them. They try to anticipate—to travel ahead— to give even more than is expected. No material, no part, and no accessory is barred from Dodge Brothers car because it is too high priced. The only question asked, the only proof de. manded, is of its goodness. When the car was designed, with a total disregard of price. That policy still prevails, only it has been in- tensified. No source of supply can have too high a stand- ard for Dodge Brothers—nothing too good can be offered for Dodge Brothers car. That policy, plus ‘a process of research, test, refinement and proof, make for continuous pro- pro- gress. That is why it is still the same car, and yet a much finer car. That is why it is worth more money than ever though still at the same price. That is why its value is always growing great- er. Missouri Valley =. Phone 234.
