The undying love for and unswerv- ing loyalty to the United States of America are reaffirmed and pro- claimed on behalf of 2,500 North Da- kota farmers, members of the State Farmers’ unoin, through their accred- ited delegates in convention here Thursday, when the fealty of the ‘lickertail agriculturist and their “firm and unwavering support of and confidence in our beloved president, Woodrow Wilsen,” wei pledged in resolutions unanimously adopted. The resclutions add that “Whereas, through no fault of our government war for the upholding of the sacred principles of democracy, as, opposed to the selfish and inhuman aims and desires of autocracy; therefore be it) resolved that we herewith unequivoc- | ally promise our firm and united aid | and support io our boys upon the land} and upon the water who have gone forth to fight our battles for us; and! be it solved that our pledges of suport and comfort to our armies as well the armies of our allies, are; not confined to mere words, but that they include our t dollar and our last ounce of effort, us well as the last drop of our heart's blood, if need be.” Certain Newspapers. “Certain newspapers throughout the! state’ which ~~ have —_ endeavored | “through their utterances to impugn} the motives and discredit the loyalty of the farmers of North Dakota” are condemned and branded “as. unfair, unjust and un-American and a.dis- grace to the principles which they purport to represent and uphold.” !

Torpedoed ATTACKING CRAFT SUCCESS. FULLY CROSS SEVERAL OB- STRUCTIONS AND SEND SHOTS HOME, New York, Dec. 13:—The torpedoing of two Austrian battleships in the har- bor of Trieste by Italian torpedo craft on the night of December 9, is report- ed in a message received here today by Commander C.' Pfister of the Ital- jan navy. ‘i “After successfully crossing several obstructions and mine fields,” the dis- patch said, “the Italian torpedo craft entered the harbor of Trieste, where they fired four torpedoes against two Austrian men-of-war of the Monarch type. All the torpedoes reached their targets and exploded. ‘Though the’ mos tintese artillery fire was concentrated against the at- tacking torpedo boats and though even torpedoes were fired aginst them, all of our units returned safely and un- hurt to their home bases,” Vienna Reports Loss. A London dispatch received Wed- nesday quoted a Vienna official state- ment as saying the Austrian battle- ship Wien was sunk on Sunday night, the date mentioned in the foregoing; communication. Most of the crew/ was saved, the London. message stat- ed. The waters in which the vessel} was sunk were not named, however. The Wien is a ship of the Monarch type. The Wien, Monarch and Buda- pest were built in 1895 and 1896. They displaced 5,600.tons and are registered ag carrying complements of 441 men. They were’ 323 feet long,’ 56 | feet beam. They werearmed with four 9 inch and twenty guns of smaller cali- bre. Each had two torpedo tubes. WS. O'HARE SEN.

Old Bill Staeger was sweating and grunting over doing up ‘Kage, one of those soldier's kits, and, as Jim Stack, Bob Roberts and Phil Corbett, all old “boys of the road.” burst into | Bill's elegant bachelor quarters, one December evening, and caught Bill actually at manual labor, they paused, astonished. Old Bill Staeger, 35 years on the road for Soper & Mar: lary $10,000, commissions 30 per cent. actually packing up a package! It could not be. Every hotel keeper between New York and Ka City knew that it took four porters to pack Bill's sam- ple cases and, usually, two valets to pack his personal grip, for elegant old Bill scorned work with the hanis, so well his brains had served him And when “the boys” saw what Bill was packing they had a laugh. Bill had grown prosperous by con- fining himself strictly to placing the goods of Soper & Marx.
