There has been no money available to build needed extensions. ‘The is- sue resolves itself into this: “Does the United States Want any Rail- rouds?” - a The time has come to adopt a fair and liberal policy toward the car- riers. North Dakota can well afford to set a good example to other states and grant the desired increase in rates, BUSINESS AS USUAL. Says Frank Vanderlip, one of New York's biggest bankers and member of the labor committee of the coun- cit of national defense’s advisory com- mittee: “Business men should get we: rid of any foolish ideas that war will bring on a general paralysis of trade.” There is little wisdom in trying to convince business that the people are not going to economize. They are. There is unimpeachable evidence of it on every hand, as the business man can see for himself, but the general economizing does not necessarily mean general business paralysis. It all depends upon whether the people hoard or cut off luxuries. Hoarding is miserliness and alwav means low down depression and mor- , ale. There is no present evidence , in banks or elsewhere of a popular tendency to hoard. There is plenty of evidence that the spiri of invest- ment is taking a siesta, and the rea- } : son lies to a great extent in the fact i that nobody knows what his overhead | expenses—taxes—are to be. Now the government's billions in bonds offer unprecedented opportunity for popu- the tendency to hoard. Moreover the government itself is going to make i lar investment and aré an antidote to} enormous investment. It is going to make and buy billions of dollars worth of war goods—goods practi- cally new in their manufacturing in- dustry. This means business read- justment, not general paralysis. The country will have more money alysis under such conditions would be an anomaly in the world’s economic history. A RESPECTABLE FRUIT.

The foods that used to lord it over) the prune on the boarding house ta- ble every now and then have gone 80} high in price that the prune is cne| of the few foods still within reacb} of the masses. It is the good oli standby—and woe unto him who twits his best friend. } { A NATION IN UNITY. President Wilson has put much in-| to a few words: “It is not an army that we must) shape and train for war: it is a na- tion.” lamation fixing June 5 as the day tor registration for selective service the president has summed "1 th? sit uation most admirably. Continuing, he says: “To this end our people must draw |‘ common foe. But this cannot be if each pursues a private purpose.” The President sees clearly that the energies of every American must be shaped to make the nation a unit against autocracy—against the com- mon enemy. Private aims and ob- jects must not conflict with the na- tional purpose; private greed must not conflict with the common goré, private wishes must not conflict with our national effectiveness in war. Everything has got to give way it the face of our determination to win this war for world liberty. “The whole nation must be a team iniwhich each man shall plav the part. for tihtch he is best fitted,” the Fres- ident “tells us. Hejis right. Team play is what we must have. We don’t want any back- stops trying to play centerfield, or any ‘pitchers loafing on the banch when they're needed on the mound ‘We want team play. Team play Is the real American way 9% playing, also. But there is this and our need of it that mus derstood: Team play is had when the, team works together under a Jeader. Team playis never had when every mem- abot the team tries to run the team { We. have got to shape and train the ation for this war; team play will do it and give the world a wonderful example of American effectiveness. And so every American must sink his little private inclinations, his lit- tle private hobbies, and his little pri- vate desire to profit at national ex- pense.

Altruists of all sorts and profession- al charity workers unquestionably have a secure place in the world. They are needed. Their unflagging indus- try hag kept many a worthy project alive when if it was left to busier men and women it would have lan- guished and died. The work that confronts the Red |.Cross, however, in the present world war is plainly a business man’s job. It calls for organization and execu- tive action that would tax the skill of the ablest captain of industry in the country. As a neutral nation the greatest contribution made by the United States to the European belligerents was in the activities of the doctors, surgeons, nurses and ambulance drivers. They were visible evidence of the fact that America was alive to the opportunities for service. With this country actively engaged in the war the task becomes infinitely bigger and more-difficult.

These rails are of the standard type | used in connection with paving in’ all larger cities. They will be hurried through to Bismarck. by fast freight and laid with as little delay as pos- sible.

EXCELLENT LECTURE. David oGldstein of Boston, Mass., lecturing under the auspices of the Dickinson council of the Knights of ‘Columbus, was listened to by a: packed ‘housé Friday evening at the Elks’ auditorium. Mr. Goldstein was formerly’ a Jéw+and an agitator in the Socialist: movement, and. at: his lecture Friday:night he explained the reason why he deserted the Social: movement and joined the Catholic church. ‘He is an excellent :speaker and-his talk was very auch appre- ciated. STATUTORY CHARGE. M. P. Olson,)a.switchman at. the local iNorthern Pacific yards, was placed under ‘arrest last week upon the complaint of a young girl. Mike Mack, inspector of trains on the night shift at the yards, heard. the girl’s screams for help, and when Olson caught sight of Mack coming he re- | Jeased the girl, who went to her home. The attack took. place in the local freight yards. .Olson is now out of jail on bail, and is also out of a job. BABY PARADE SATURDAY. Baby week ended with a splendid parade around:the business section of the city Saturday afternoon. There were a large number of babies in-t) parade, accompanied by their midoth- ers. The parade was headed~by-a ‘in his young lady dressed as Columbia, ac- companied ‘by Uncle Sam. Then came several little girls dressed as moth- ers, pushing doll carts. Boy Scouts and little boys and girls dressed as Indians were also seen in the parade. Special attention was paid to several little fellows pulling an old Indian camp wagon, in which there was a little maiden dresced as an Indian i chieftain’s daughter. FORMER DICKINSONIAN KILLED AT BILLINGS Karl Flohr, formerly of Dickinson, and up to last winter a resident of the Lefor district, was killed at Bills ings, Mont., last week, according to information reaching Dickinson. It seems that Flohr was arrested on some minor charge by a Billings po- liceman, and in trying to escape the clutches of the law he was shot in the hack-and instantly killed. Flohr BY A GARDNER. There is going to be big demand for beang this fall and winter, The boys in our army and navy will need thousands of bushels of them. You can help them get their share from the bean farms by raising your own beans. Beans are nutritious, and can be put away in cans or dried for winter use. Now is the time to plant them. We waited this long to be sure of frost- less nights after the sprouts come out of the ground, for beans cannot stand cold weather. Beans are easy to grow, require less fertilization than many other garden vegetables, and bear well. While pole beans take more room in the garden than dwarf varieties they bear more profusely, and in the end pay better. If you have space plant both. Plant the poles first, about three feet apart. Then plant 8 or 10 seeds two inches deep near each pole. When they. come up thin to four. Six hills of pole beans will supply @ small family and one planting will be enough. See that you get the ‘stringless variety of seed. There are several kinds of stringless beans. Plant short rows of a dwarf shell !bean a week or so apart so they will |not all mature at the same time. Lima beans must be forced to get the best crop. Start them now in paper pots, or in inverted. sod in the hotbed or cold frame and put into the garden in June. If they grow too rank after transplanting cut off tops of vines, which will force the beans. Bush limas are a little earlier than the pole variety, but less prolific. Beans need careful cultivation— hoeing, but don’t hoe them‘ while water is on the leaves, or in. the early morning when dew is on the vines. Bean leaves are sensitive to the touch when wet. homesick for his old home and when his car was headed for the north. it simply would not stop or turn around until it reached Dickinson. Mr. Clem- ons is a garage man and intends to spend part of the summer here work- ing at a local garage. The Clemmons family mayed from here about 18, years ago. LEFT FOR A LONG TRIP. Mr. and-Mrs. J. W.-Berns left this week for a long trip to Pacific coast points, whence they intend going south and then east over the contin- ent. Their first stop will be made at Billings, Mont., and they also intend to spend a little time at ‘Wallace, Idaho, to visit Dr. O. C. Maercklein, who is there looking after his min- ing interests.

She replied, saying that she had never given the subject any par- ticular thought. “To tell the truth,” she said, “I have never had time to think of anything other than my pro- fessional work. I have tried to give all my energy and skill to the work demanded by the public, and they are hard task-masters. One has so many people to please, and it is impossible to please all of them, so I will have to be content if I can only please a part of them, and this I hope I have done. “I do not say that I never will marry, nor do I say I will not. I might have to consult with William Fox, my manager, before I could en- age upon an enterprise of this kind, 80, which I do not at this time.” Miss Bara will be seen tonight at the Orpheum theater in her ‘latest and greatest deluxe production, “The Darling of Paris,” founded upon the great French classic, “The Hunch- back of Notre Dame” by Victor Hugo. Two shows will be given tonight, Starting-at 7:30 and 9:15. If you wish a Seat you will have to go early. Seo oe nee | CAPITOL NOTES =| [ cS , \. | i
