ROBERTS, Meteorogolist. a ee a ee Sooner or later the world comes round to see the truth # and do the right—Hillard. o eg eee HOBOKEN, U.S. A. Yep, Hoboken, N. J., is in the Unit- ed States. There may have been some who thought it was a sort of outpost of Germany, what with ‘its. huge piers of ..German steamship companies, its very large population frequently Heard-German speech on the streets and in the public buildings. But listen to this: The mayor and the city comms sioners have arranged that the city shall purchase $100,000 worth of Lib- erty Loan bonds, making ‘Hoboken the first town to purchase these bonds as a municipal investment. Sounds all-American, doesn't it? nA Hivin food now to sell next win- Ohi MARA AECA prices is the kind of mas—that..makes Wilhelmstrasse FATTY'S EDITORIAL. The best editorial we have seen jately was written by a motion pic ture actor. He calls himself Fatty Arbuckle. You may have heard of him. Fatty’s editorial was merely a cou- ple of pictures—of himself—in an ad. One picture showed him austere, dignified, forbidding, looking sternly out of the northeast corner of his eye over the left shoulder of the read- er, He was about as inviting a sub- gidect in this picture:as #sibretoothed “boar from -the! African jungle. Unter this picture ‘Patty,’or the en- terprising advertising man, had writ- ten: “How not to make friends.” The other picture showed Fatty with his natural smile. You can guess what was under that picture: You can guess what the moral is to this slight tale. West Virginia’s legislature has en- acted a law providing that each adult male must work at least 36 hours per week as a war measure. The ques- tion is: What is work? WHAT A SMILE DID. Howard Rollinson has a new job He's going to be manager of a soda fountain in South Bend, Ind. What of that? Oh, nothing, except that it's a job at much better pay than Howard ever got before. And he won it by a pleasant smile. Howard is from Evansville. ‘Hie reputation there was that of knowing more women by their given names than any other man in town. This reputation got to a man who owns a string of soda fountains. He stepped into the “House of Crane,” at Fourth and Main, listened | to Howard as Howard worked. Two or three times he stepped in. He noticed that Howard conversed Pleasantly with all who came, and that his counter was always crowded. Then he offered Howard the better, bigger job. If we may be permitted to para- Phrase the metrical remark of the famous songstress— Smile, and the world smiles on you; Mope, and you mope alone. Our army uniform becomes less and less useful to the martial poet. “Boys in khaki” wasn’t as good for “MAKING THINGS GROW.” New York City’s committee on. food gardens is flat on its back, knocked out by astonishment over the results of its own labors. ting seeds and plants into the un- tilled ground in the metropolis got under way April 23. prospects of produce worth approximately $250,000. If New York City, a city in which the folks live in layers, can and will do such things, what must be the home garden crops in cities not so densely populated and in which it is naturally not so difficult to arouse popular kindliness toward, the spade and the hoe? And we say, both as observer and prophet, that there’s going to be glo- rious compensation in this war in the teaching of people to “grow things.” Could we definitely know what the home gardens throughout this land are going to mean to the world’s food supply, we'd probably be laid out by astonishment, too. God bless the folks! They're great! vation, with WHAT'S YOUR CHILD AT? Mother, maybe you're not raising your boy to be a soldier, but are you raising him to be a beaner? Of course, you want him to be a patriot, and, nowadays, he can be such, even without any prospect whatever of his ever smelling powder. The school children of the Pacific coast region are being urged to grow at least one pound of war beans per individual. A little land, a little la- bor, a little worker, a little crop. One time a little apple fell to the ;ground; and human knowledge got its greatest insight into natural law but climbed and spun anew again and again; and a kingdom was saved. The greatest of all teachers placed His hand on the head of a little child and through it declared tha way to heaven. All progress, since the world began was based on a little thing or a little fact no bigger than a bean The tea kettle sputters; and we get the age of steam power. A key goes up a kite string; and we have the age of electricity. Put a bean in the &tound; and you have multiplication of life, bean bullets with which to feht the fight for world peace and happiness. Small business? An average of one pound of beans by every Ameri- can school boy and girl would mear 25,000,000 pounds of the best sort of modating disposition of the bean’ He will grow and produce his kind in almost any soil, under almost any condition, with the minimum of care Poys, if mother is too tame to raisc you; ag a soldier, shoulder a hoe and makpa beaner of yourself, to t’ howoF of yourself and the helpfulness )igumigzhe’ world. This is more nearly e war of beans than of ibullets, any how, as the greatest of soldiers dc freely declare. MUCH JAW-WORK. United States department of com- merce announces that over a mil- lion dollars worth of chewing gum will go to foreign buyers the coming fiscal year. England is taking $50, 900 worth, France $90,000 worth, or more, and there’s heavy increase ir the consumption in Africa and Egypt. Another war time propositon that stumps us. Here’s the foreigner down on his ‘nees. praying, for our bread, and yet he’s going to buy all of thai gum which filleth not either the stom- ach or the skull. However, we pass- ed the chewing habit over to the for- eigner and ought not to Kick if it took a deadly hold on him. GROPS WIPED OUT: PROPERTY LOSS SEVERE ‘Continued from Page One? fered many incidents of . “tornado freaks.” Mrs. Mary Kemper heard the roar of the approaching wind and stepped to the door to see it. Her two chil- dren cowered at her feet in terror. The next moment her home was lifted from her, while she and her children were left unharmed on the floor. A horse and cow were grazing in a yard. The storm picked them up and carried them a quarter of a mile on a prairie where they were set down, and resumed their grazing. As D. F. May and his wife and three children knelt in prayer their house fell upon them. They were uninjured. CROSSES OHIO St. Louis, May 28.—A tornado came into being near Willisville, Perry County, Illinois, late yesterday after- noon, virtually demolished that city without a single casualty, then rose and whirled rapidly southward dip- ping to the earth at intervals to tear roofs from houses or wreck flimsy structures. The whirlwind crossed the Ohio River somewhere near Cairo, IIL, then began to make almost regular stops in Kentucky, killing 5 white persons in Dublin, and Bardwell, ac- cording to reliable reports, and thirty- three negroes in Clinton and Hick- man, according to reliable sources. Estimates of the injured vary from 150 to 300. Miss Sylvia Nelson of Bardville, is the only one killed there, who has been versifying as “boys in bine”—and identified.

D. May 28—That process for seizure of ‘the telephone exchange the night of the raif was not secur- ed from Judge sLeighton because the judge might tip: off the law violators, that Judge Leighton was a liquor law violator himself, that the telephone system was used by police and others to protect vice, that the Minot police were in cahoots with houses of pros- titution and that prominent members of the Minot bar. were habitual ire- quenters of such places, were the startling assertions made by the at- torney general when he was unex- pectedly called by the defense in the case against Attorney L. J. Palda, charged with threatening to shoot A. Upton, during the incidents in the telephone exchange the night of the raid. FORMER BISMARCK MAN RECEIVES COMMISSION Dr. J. C.

LINCOLN Training Camp for North Dakota Boys Will Be Patterned After English WAR DEPARTMENT MAPS OUT PLAY FOR TROOPS Baseball will provide one of the principle amusements of the 12,000 or more troops whom the government anticipates mobilizing at Fort Lincoln. The committee on training camp ac- tivities recently appointed by Secre- tary of War Baker advises that the great American: game will be relied upon to a very large extent to relieve the monotony of camp life. Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commit- tee, who has made a Study of the Can- adian training camps, says that the English, or Aldershot system will be employed, except that baseball will be substituted for cricket. Under the Aldershot system competitions are or- ganized between units so that prac- tically every man in training camp will find a place in some nine. There will be boxing \championships and basket ‘ball games, track and field events and competitive drills in the use of the bayonet. Next to ath- letics, which the. Canadian officials have found a necessary adjunct, to military drill in hardening muscles, will come singing. Well-known choir and choral leaders. will be appointed to stimulate group singing.
