But here is the gem of the eulogy: “The clock was striking the hou: of 10:45,.when. shouts, the pounding of doors, the speeding of automobiles and the fact that crowds began pour- ing out on the streets, made it evi- dent that something of more than usual intreset was in progress that night, May 8, in the city of Minot. “What's the matter? What's go- ing on?’ asked bystanders. “‘Bill) Langer’s. coming to town. ‘Bill Langer's here,’ was the answer, and the ‘Magic City’ fairly shook un- der the answer. The underworld of that city had long feared the coming to town of ‘Cyclone Bill.’” Why these words? Why try to paint the lily? In future when hard put for super- latives to describe “Cyclone Bill” we commend this verse to the Non-parti- san Daily: “See what a grace is seated on this brow; Hyperion’s curls, the front of Jove SA Tlinseye! | " An eye like Mars, to threaten avd command; A combination and a form, indeed, Where every god did seem to set his seal To give the world assurance of a man.” Our nurses and doctors are in Lon- don; of <ehgineers “have landed their vanguard there, our navy is after the U-boats. DIRECT ACTION. Jackson Carlisle found his apart- ment too cold for comfort. Whereupon he got hot and, going downstairs, shot his landlord in the shoulder. This happened in Chicago, but the case will be watched with eager in- terest by a large and steadily in- creasing army of flat-dwellers every- where. In the between seasons the matter of apartment bouse heat has become a serious problem. Radiator rapping has proved futile except as a method of relieving the feelings of the rap- per. Remonstrances with janitors are of little avail when that individual’: mind has turned from firing to fi: screens. Shooting the landlord is an ex- treme application of the direct ac- tiontion theory and, of course, we are properly shocked. Just the same we hope the pep- pery Mr. Carlisle will be tried before a judge who is himself a flat-dweller. ——_ Germany's food supply is becom- ing shorter.

He has landed at Ellis Island and is won- dering whether the bars will be let down for him. He has staked his all upon the move from the Old World to the New. He has left behind him king worship, rank worship, castle worship. Back there a man remains very largely in the station in life in which he was born. Back there he has to serve in the army, whether it is war time or peace time. Back there little opportunity presented itself to him and less to his children. Suppose now Uncle Sam said to him: “How much will you give to be admitted to my country?” Don't you know that he would put up al- most every cent he had on earth and would be willing to pledge a part ¢ his earnings, no matter what sacri fice it entailed? would be in the land of opportuni ties. Nothing would be ‘barred t him that his energies and his talent: could attain. ‘Here there is no king and no rank and no caste. Every man is wha! he makes of himself. ‘He may be a workman drawing a good union wage, ora shopkeeper, or a great merchant He may become mayor of his city, or congressman of his district, or gover- nor of his state. Even the pre dency is open to his sons born in this country. And be very sure of it, the immigrant appreciates to the full all these chances in life. But do you appreciate them, you who were born in this country and who take all these blessings for granted? Do you appreciate them, you who were naturalized so long ago that your perceptions of things have become dulled? If not, it is time to wake up. AJ that America is to us, all that it cai be to our children and to future gen erations, is at stake. German autocracy is still a menace to the world. German militarism is still uncrushed. It is up to all o’ us either to enlist or invest. Those {of us who can’t serve in the army should help” support the work and by money. Buy Liberty Bonds. Pay what you think it is worth to be an American citizen. army ib ao--—— 4 | CAPITOL NOTES | o— 0 PLAY DAY.— Michigan, N.

Cole Brothers Circus Pleases The circus is here! The parade of Cole Brothers’ world toured show was given in Bismarck this forenoon and it was witnessed by ‘a good-sized crowd. The after- noon performance was well attended and another big crowd will be pres- ent tonight. When the big procession passed through the crowded streets there were many expressions of approval for the people seemed to have felt repaid for the tifip down town. The costumes of the riders were new, from the buglers at the head of the parade to Madam Liberta Zona Miles, the Hindu princess, who drove Myr- tle, the big elephant, from her seat in the two-wheeled cart. Animals Appear Excellent. The animals were all sleek and/ap- an Miss Irene Eastham, the girl Peared to have passed a comfortable winter in their quarters. Every wag- on in line had’ been treated to a fresh coat of paint, with new decorations of gold and silver leaf. The animal acts as presented at this’ afternoon's performance were probably the best ever seen here. “Cheerful Gardner, the elephant trainer, is true to his name, a happy- g0-lucky ‘chap, who has trained the troupe of elephants so that they work faster than any other troupe in ex- istence. Charles Gay, the lion trainer, with his $50,000 group of black maned beasts of the jungle, presents a real sensational act. These ferocious beasts, although seemingly trained, still keep the audience on the anxious seat throughout the long act, as ‘ Animal Acts Win High Favor every moment it seems that the train- er is taking his life in his ‘hands, try- ing to subdue the savage ‘beasts. Miss Muriel croft, the little French girl, who goes into the steel arena with a group of leopards and pan- thers, has an act that is really won- derful. The three riding lions is a new act and very dangerous, for it-places the rider behind the animal, a thing that - is never done in handling wild ani- mals. “Buck,” the lion ballonist, is also a new act. He swings back and forth in a suspended balloon. There was fun in plenty to relieve the thrills, and the wild animal acts. Twenty clowns forming the clown band, under the leadership of Clown Rue Enos, marched on and on to screeching music. The Three Kobers with a voice louder than the band in’ double trapeze and acrobatic stunts, the Witties; the human butter- flies, and the wizard, Duo, did some exceptionally clever work on the high wire. Ringmaster Rogers and Mrs. Rogers won rounds of applause inthe Spanish dance with the aid of two of the most attractive horses ever seen. From other cities where the Cole Brothers have given their circus per- formances, good reports are receiv- ed. Under the big tops clean and wholesome entertainment is offered young and old. The Cole Bros.’ shows have not been seen here since 1899, although being the oldest show on the’ road, they are making their 41st annual tour, being best known in the east and central west, living in Mandan attended the wed- ding.’ Mrs. Cary Leaves—Mrs. L.

YEARS WAR, SHS + FEARING SEDRETARY Oscar J. Seiler of Jamestown States Board Is Preparing for 1918 Crop That little more can be done to in- crease acreage this year, but that much may and shall be done to insure bigger crops next year was the opin- ion expressed today by Attorney J- Seiler of Jamestown, secretary of the North Dakota efficiency commission. “We are not preparing simply for one year's war,” said Mr. Seiler. “We anticipate that the need will be great- er a year hence than it is now. The | efficiency commission during the next jtwelve months hopes to work out Plans for a great crop in 1918. What we need most is more farmers.

We must have more farm- ers, and the efficiency commission must find a way to bring them into North Dakota.” To Rotate Labor { _R. J. Leth, field agent under W. J- Spillman, chief of the office of farm management in the United States de- partment of agriculture, who is here for the joint meeting of the effciency commission and national defense coun- cil today, advises that farm labor as it finishes with the harvest in southern states will be rotated to the north, in an effort to supply the needs of every state for skilled help as the harvest season advances. A plan of organization embracing a committee in every county, with mem- bers in each township, and_consider- ing a full survey of the state's acreage, crop conditions and labor needs, was announced at today’s session.
