For the second time, while the he- roes who wore the blue or the gray in 1861 are passing in ever diminish-} ing review, other heroes, their sons and grandsons, are marching off to rededicate in liberty's name the na- tion that was saved for freedom by Grant at Appomattox. Nineteen years ago it was bleeding Cuba for whose sake young Ameri- cans donned the uniform and sallied forth to oust the oppressor. Today our sympathies are aroused to the actuality of war by the suffer: ings of Belgium, Serbia, Poland, Mon- tenegro and the dangers of France and all democracy. Herein lies our pledge to the brave men of ‘61 that their heritage has not been forgotten; that Americans today, as then, stand ready to lay down their lives for an ideal. Ho} Ae héarts myst, thrill as they fharch todpy, behitid the'fife and druny ree flug-dpcked streets; in the knowledge that other men are taking up their burden;and are’ pre- paring to sacrifice their lives, if need be, that the republic may insure for the future years, peace without dis- honor. ‘ What sorrow must mix with their pride yas they realize that, though their ‘steps ‘will/ soon cease forever, generations to come will continue the beautiful custom of Memorial day, and ever thinning ranks will wear, not the blue of 1861, but the olive drab of 1917! Pees JUSTICE WITH A HEART. Old time jurists would frown their disapproval of what a Chicago judga did the other day—but what he did is a sign that we have moved be- yond the ideas of old time jurists, as we have moved beyond many other customs and ideas of older times. This jurist had before him a man accused of stealing parcel post pack- ages. The verdict was guilty. The senteace was to be imprisonment. Fut wait! The prisoner was mar- ried—and in two months a baby was to de Sorn. Here was where modern practice broke with the old. “I know you can't get bail,” said the judge, “but 1 don't want to send you away now. If I let you go will you come back like a man after your child is born?” “I will,” said the prisoner. It is good to find judges of that kind. It warms oné around the heart. The world is better for that kind of justice. “WE CAN START AT ONCE.” “We can start at once.” In those words the American tor- Pedo fleet commander answered the id fiauiry Sgucenstown, when) the American ships arrived there a few days ago to go into action against the U-boats. “We can start at once.” That was the truly American way of answering. There was the real American spirit. The reply of this American com- tional story along with Admiral Dewey's famous, “You may fire when you are ready, Gridley.” The words of this American naval commander, first into the war zone with the Stars and Stripes, ought to be made our national slogan. “We can start at once.” Congress ought to adopt that slo- gan and start. “We can start at once,” says the American naval commander. We have some more talking to do,” Says Congress. Every American citizen ought to take it upon himself to see that “We can start at once” ‘becomes our-nay to it. x We have a two billion bond issue before us now to pay for our war work. When can we get this bond issue ‘bought up? “We can start al once!” We can start at once to forget that this is a make-believe. war. The words of this gallant American have sent a flash through us, and’ we know now that we are knee deep. in war. We can start ‘at once to’ literally make this old nation. boil and hum with the industry of winning*the war, all down tho line.” Se “We can start at once,” and we in- tend to finish on time! f Now it’s a case of “Get the men into the trenches by Christmas.” CONTEMPTIBLE AMERICANS. When_England came into the war, all the Germans made light of the nilitary aid the British could render and spoke with sneers of the “con- temptible little British army.” According to the Prussian mind, this army was contemptible because it was small, because its members voluntarily enlisted for the service and were paid a better stipend than is the rule in Germany. therefore, they were mercenaries and would give the Germans small worry. Forsooth, Some of the kaiser’s best generals learned differently in the great re- treat to the Marne and in every Place where they encountered the sturdy little company from the \Brit- ish Isles. Now America is in the war and what the German press once said of British troops, it now says of the Americans. Listen to the hoarse ‘bel- low of the Cologne Volkszeitung: “Not a mother in Germany will put the American soldier even to so mean a usage as a bogey with which to frighten her naughty children. We are practically certain, as all Ger- mans are, that since the days of that wretched piece of sham fighting known as the Spanish war, when the American mountain brought forth such a ridiculous mouse, the United States army, though it may have as- sumed some of the external charac- teristics of the present day, has un- dergone practically no change for the better. ¢ “Its spirit, which is purely and blat- antly’ mercenary, is the same and this will be-proved when the time comes —if it ever does—when the Yankee hosts once again go forth to meet the enemy.” We have a sort of sneaking suspi- cion that the editor of the Cologne paper and those whom his writings fool are going to have a sudden awakening when Black Jack Pershing and his crack troops get into the fighting line. And they will only be the advance guard of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who will be pitting their love of liberty against German fealty to a royal house which has deluded. itself into a belief that its. power comes from divinity itself. mander is fit to go down in our na-|- tional slogan—and that we live up, With The: Or Fo Who falter by ‘lo a martial strai And we cheer again’ for Ui <i USS their heads erect and their hate atilt In the strength and the glow of,youth, When each man ‘shouldered his pack and gun And fought the fight that has made us one A nation in fect and truth Today their gait is a trifle slow And their ranks are thin, but their old eyes glow With a light that 1s clear and brave, As they tridge along’ on their tired feet, And lift thair'faces again to greet ‘The Flag ‘that; they helped to save And now the best of OUR souls har come Az the soldiens march to the fife and drum To join in the thick of war, And the young beyw fight as the old boys fought Willing to fold their lives as naught In a cause worthndying: for. se lads will battle as nobly we!

Population Electric lights, cement sidewalk: the most remunerative railroad st: tion for its size in the state. a consoli- dated school, a tow mill—and only two years old. That's the brief history of Parshall, N. D. In November, 1914, the first sale of lots was held at Parshall. ‘The fol- lowing spring active building began, so that the town is now onlv a little raore than two years old. Grain Value Over Million In 1915 over a million bushels ot gregating in price over a million and a half dollars. due to the big flax yield, the revenue has again gone well over that magni- ficent sum. Five grain elevators take care of this enormous quantity of grain. A distinction in Parshall's elevators ‘lies in the fact that two of them are owned and wholly controlled by farmers in the vicinity. The stock- holders number some 300 Parshall farmers. That Parshall grain is of high qual- ity as well as big yield is shown in the report ofthe federal expert who was sent to Parshall in 1915. A part of the report reads: “Parshall dis- trict of the reservation had the best crop in the state.” Has Largest Depot Parshall has the largest railroad de- pot on the Soo line from Drake, the division point, to Sanish and is said to -be the most remunerative station on the Soo west of the Twin Cities. The Parshall oi] station stands 11th of all the Standard oil stations in the entire state. Its business surpasses that of many of the larger cities of North Dakota and its proceeds are en- tirely out of proportion to the popula- lation of the town and community. This is due, it is believed, to the re- markable prosperity of residents of the section. Modern Conveniences the Rule The first year of its existence an electric light plant was installed in , the town, fine wide cement sidewalks grain were marketed in Parshall, ag-!

Th Parshall consolidated school serves the whole township and the jTapidly increasing population makes jthe erection of a high school neces- | sary this year, indeed, a $40,000 build- jing has already been started and will thave every hygienic facility and mod- ern equipment. It will accommodate 400 pupils. To Have Waterworks The town is contemplating and j Probably will install a waterworks system this coming fall. Water is lexcellent and it may be easily obtain- ed. The waterworks will afford fire Protection and provide drinking wat- er, a situation that exists in few cities of the state or northwest. Three churches, Congregational, Lutheran and Catholic, administer to the religious needs of Parshall. A tow mill that pays a good price for flax straw and thus gives the farmers a profitable revenue for what would otherwise be waste is a feature of the town. It is the only mill of its kind in the section. The tow mill contemplates branching out into side lines that may eventually lead to the employment of a great many people. Has No Equal It is said that no new town in the state, in point of population, perman- ent buildings, both business blocks and residences, public improvements jand volume of _ business, has ever equalled the showing made by this in- fant community. It has a live com- mercial club and every man, woman jand child in the town is a “commit- tee of one” who proclaims, wherever he is, that no town ever was, or ever will be, equal to Parshall. Every farmer who does his trading in Parsh- all is as loyal to the town as those who live in it. The government, speaking of the jlies, makes the statement: “It has made the most tremendous progress in the shortest time of any homestead country in the history of the nation.” |The reservation was, opened to settie- | Berthold reservation in which Parshail | ment in 1912.

Eliminate Dangerous Pest Aat least two diseases are carried by certain species of mosquitoes, ma- laria and yellow fever. All species are disagreeabie pests. Mos q u itoes breed by the thou- sands in swamps, vaults, pools, mud holes and the like. Even one old tomato can half filled by the spring. rains makes an ideal breeding ground. Not infre- quently drain pipes become clogged and then tin roofs and gutters afford an unsuspected . breeding place for thousands. of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes: lay, their eggs in stag- nant water. The eggs develops into the larva, theninto the pupa or rest- ing stage from which it is hatched into the full-fledged mosquito. This évolution takes from 10 to 30 days. The problem of mosquito prevention is best solved by filling ponds or draining . off: the water. Another method is‘to apply crude oil to the surface of the water once a week, one pint for every 200 square feet. The oil floats on the top of the water and prevents the young mosquito from coming to the surface for his exygen supply. When the wind causes a movement of the water which breaks up the oil coating the body of water must be re-oiled. The careful householder should make a survey of his entire premises to see that no mosquito-breeding Places exist. Rain water barrels should be covered. Tin cans and the like should have holes punched in them to keep them from filling with water; smashed flat or buried. HEALTH QUESTIONS ANSWERED. J. K.

Lucas, President of the City Commission of Bismarck, appeal to the loyalty and patriot- ism of our citizens to make’ this registration complete and ac- curate. A grave crisis confronts the nation and it behooves every man between the ages of 21 and 30 years to present him- self at the polling places designated between the hours of 7 a. m. and 9 p.m. It should be borne in mind that a penalty of imprisonment is imposed upon all those neglecting to register for military service. It is suggested that all citizens assist in this important task of registering all men between the ages designated in the selective federal draft act. Patriotic exercises would be es- pecially appropriate to impress upon everyone the solemnity of the occasion. Civic bodies should confer and provide for a general:e6ntmunity observance of June 5. Therefore, I impress upon all within the prescribed ages the necessity of acquainting themselves with the provisions of the under: Atteat registration law so that none may be liable to prosecution By A. W. LUCAS, Mayor Dated May, 28, 1917. City of Bismarck ry !
