That we must get hundereds of thousands of troops, with their food and munitions, into Europe, in | the next few months. : That, for weeks past, hundreds of ships, loaded with fuel, food and minitions, have been lying in| Atlantie ports unable to move by reason of lack of fuel. That millions of domestic users of coal through- out the country designated by the embargo have been suffering miserably, under conditions steadily grow- ing worse. - That the month of February is always the most severe and exacting of the winter season. These facts have all been published again and again. We don't believe that we have a reader, em- ployer or employe, but knows these things to be true.

Or, shall we HANG ON TO ALL WE'VE} GOT, reach out for more, and LET THE WAR SLIDE?

She has had a hard time working for food, room rent, clothes and schooling, for her boy. She's been too busy to aequire many friends, save for her boy. Her heart, her work, her Jife has been centered upon her boy. The anxiety of her daily existence, the trudging to work through the snow, rain and scorching sun, the pinching, the making of both ends meet, have all been for her boy. And he was worth it. He enlisted in the Sixth Engineers Corps, U.S. Army, to fight and to die if needs be, for mothers with boys too young to fight; your boy’s|an evidently considerable body of radical opinion mother; my boy’s mother, A month ago, Widow Smith got this from Wash- ington: ‘“We are about to leave.

Mr. Wilson's statement of war aims is making | itself felt in Russia and in Germany, At Petrograd | the Pravda is described as the official organ of the} | Bolskeviki party, and the Izvesdia as the official or- {gan of the central executive committee of the So- |viets. Inasmuch as the Bolsheviki ave ruling Rus- |sia through the Soviets, it is puzzling why the Pravda | | Should see in Mr. Wilson the representative of rapa- cious capitalism and imperialism and the Izvestia should welcome Mr, Wilson's friendly attitude to- ward the Soviets.

The fact that Lenine, official head of the Bolsheviki govern- | ment, thought it worth while to transmit the presi- dent’s message to Trotzky at Brest-Litovsk, is addi- tional evidence that Mr. Wilson’s words have not fallen into the void. As for Germany, we are now getting from organs like the Berliner Tageblatt, the Frankfurter Zeitung, and the Vorwarts a statement of views far different from the evidently garbled summary which the Berlin censor supplied us with by her poor bed, in her lonely room, cries a. little final, restores to the mother the son who is her’ PRIMARY RECEIPTS child, passionately tender—solicitous of her peace nh u ' till he goes to his man’s task | gorn Marke Shows a Distinct! and not because he loves the] SELLING AT NO TIME - Mothers who pray with aching hearts for the sol-! rec those who stand ready for the sacrifice will feel aj 2 | steady al the same as Saturday's un- | perature. | Cor |700 @ 909; ceal calves steady 600 @ LARGEST OF SEASON Downward Slant but Steadies at Close: PROVES AGGRESSIVE ; Chicago, Ill, Jan. 21—With primary | pts the largest yet ‘this season, the corn merket today showed a notic- rd slant.” prices clused h to %c lower, withadn. 1275 and May 125% @ 4.

HEATLESS DAY BRINGS REDUCTION IN TRADE Business on Change Almost Mot-’ jonless in the Last Hours— | Tone Firm. BANKING INTERESTS | ARE MORE HOPEFUL New York, Ji he obvious ef- fect of the first heatless day in Wall Street was a marked reduction of busi-, ness on the stock exchange operations ng conducted in a frigid temper-' ature. Contraction was progressive, trading becoming almost motionless in the latter hours of the session. This apathetic condition was coun- terbalanced by the market’s firm to strong undertone. Traders were at first disposed to extend short com- mitments, but reversed their positions when selling pressure proved ineffec- tual. Banking interests adopted a more hopeful view of the Washington sii uation and Secretary McAdoo’s' state- ment that he did not believe in gov- ernment ownership of railroads evok- ed considerable comment although raiis were especially lethargic, with few exceptions. The weekly review of the war de- partment and further conflicting ad- vices regarding negotiations between the Russian delegates and the central powers were again without effect, lires and rubles remaining unchanged. Specialties of the war and semi-war ups, notably coppers, oils, leathers, urs, tobaccos and fertilizers at grees gains of one to five points, con- tributed largely to the light turnover. Utilities, notably people’s gas and Western Union also advanced two to feur points, but shipments were back- er ‘ward. Sales amounted to 290,000 shares. Rails and industries evinced a bet- ter tone in the narrow bond mart:t. Liberty 3%4’s were quoted at 98.48 to 98.40, first 4’s at 96.80 to the new min- q 64, and second 4’s at 96.24 ond sales (par value) ag- pregat 250,000. United States old isues were unchanged on call.

Fuel Administrator Makes a Discovery, Lignite has been found to have many uses, Perhaps the most novel is one recently discovered by Capt I. P. Baker, president of the Lenton P: et Co. and federal fuel administrator for North Dakota. On the edge of Lis- marck, Capt. Baker has one of the finest farms in North Dakota, and one of his particular prides is a herd of pure-bred hogs. For years he had been sending back east for huge quan- tities of charcoal, which ti ers were permitted to bro their stomach’s sake. Then one day the supply of charcoul was found to be exhausted. “Let's try lignite coal,” said Capt. Baker to his foreman, “It’s coal,’ So some lignite was thrown out to the hogs, and they liked it, and ever since they have eaten lignilo when their stomach demanded it, and they have thrived on it. . Federal Baker ry | READERS’ COLUMN | % _ i THE COMMUNITY SING. Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 21, 1918. Editor, Bismarck Tridune, Bismarck, N. Dak. Dear Editor: I attended the Community Singing meet at the auditorium yesterday, and would like to say a few things in your correspondence column. The meet was a whale of a success —fcr a start. It seems to me the best thing that Bismarck has done since I came here two years ago and | doubt if it ever did anything that will do it more good. Coming here as ja stranger, my eyes were open to seo what the town nad to offer ina ;}community way and saw nothing worthy of mention—it will do the town no uarm to know that there was very little offered the newcomer. Every- one seemed busy in his own interests and let it go at that. So, in these fortnightly meetings, where we meet to sing together. I think I see the birth of a real com- munity spirit such as Bismarck need- ed. It's a splendid idea! Let's push it along, all together, and develop it in- to a big thing—into a spirit that will unite the townspeople into .a big, cheerful unit that will work together to make this a better town to live in and promote a digger national spirit. I believe it will prove to be a silver lining of one of the war clouds. The auditorium belongs to us—let’s use it. Let us go there and by our- selves ,as the leader so aptly cxpress- ed: it yesterday, sing as best we can. Let's enter into the spirit of the hing—if we,can’t sing very good, and make some false notes, we should worry—it's our. own affair and among ourselves, 1 would offer this suggestion for what it is worth—in future meets le’ there be some good singers scattered among the people throughout the house to assist them and let the songs that will be sung be publishel in your columns before the meeting so that those who wish may familiar- ize themselves with them so they may do their best when the chance comes.
