THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER. - (Established 1873) <> TOO OLD? WE SHOULD SAY NOT London Daily Mail has cranked up the war talk-talkers by declaring that many of the govern. ment and public services are turning down women of 35 years of age who offer their services, on the ground that they’re too old. A people with a world war on their hands who can find time to discuss “Are women of 35 too old?” had better wipe off the slate and begin their war over again. Anybody capable of discussing women knows that they’re not too old at 35, but just right, in the vast majority of cases, and we don’t care a continental whether they’re married or single. If she’s married, she’s earned enough to prepare her for public service. If she’s single, she has, very probably, spent 15 to 18 years un- selfishly and intelligently serving others. Men- tally, the woman of 35 is all right, and the health * records of London’s war department show that by far the most claims for payments for physical break-down come from women between the ages of 20 and 25 years. When it comes to reliable ser- vice, the woman of 35 should never be barred. Germany thinks there are only 70,000 or 80,000 American soldiers in France. Say, there are that many American newspaper men over there. TOO, TOO SAD . When peace comes and Uncle Sam tackles the proposition of fostering infant industries, he will be asked to hand over a full bottle of rich milk to the American Sugar Refining Co., or present signs are off color. This company’s annual report for the full year of 1917 shows net profits of $10,055,291, as against $1,015,853 the year before the war; but, complains the company, this year’s was profit on $200,000,- 000 of business done, “one of the smallest profits on turnover in the manufacturing world.” More pitiful still is what this company reports ag to competition. In 1894 it supplied three-fourths of the sugar consumed by Americans. It now sup- plies less than one-third. In addition, of the 22 cane refineries in the U. S., 16 are bucking the American Sugar Refining Co. and 97 beet-sugar factories have sprung up. In 20 years the per- centage of sugar furnished by competitors has sprung from 25 to 50, with beet-sugar supplying a quarter of the consumption. In short, a beautiful monopoly is beautifully busted and cannot make over ten times as much as it made before the war, that god-send to profiteers, came along. Return of peace means despair, and we'll certainly bear this bald-headed, bewhiskered old infant howling for fostering, later on. Tom Sharkey’s wife has sued for divorce, charging that he beat her. Anyway, it shows there’s still somebody left that Tom can lick. THEY HAD THE BEGINNINGS Dr. Hartman, of “Peruna,” Ayer, of “Sarsap- arilla, and Dr. Munyon, three great familiars of the American public, have passed away, almost together. _ In their line, they were great. They estab- lished enormous businesses and acquired big for- tunes, simply because they held to two ideas. Each believed that he had a good thing and that advertising pays. In short, they had the sole, real basis of business success, and stuck to it. . You can fool some of the people out of their money some of the time, but, if you are not giving an article that they want, there surely comes a date when you can blow your head off as an adver- tising scheme and still die in the poorhouse, fig- uratively speaking. Even old Phineas Barnum professionally faked only just so long, and then made his big hit by proclaiming his the biggest, best fakes that brains and money could produce. : af Get what the folks want and advertise, and ‘step on.it,” as the gent who directs our limousine a bictag Say. Such were Munyon, Hartman and Ayer, and you have to concede them a certain greatness. They got their great idea and worked it great. And in modern business life it makes almighty little difference with what your idea is pated, so far as the estimate of greatness is con- js eS a NE Even China is threatening Russia. That’s t v ; hi way it, goes. The day after Jack Johnson. was licked he couldn’t have scared a dining car waiter. WOODROW CAN PLACE THEM They’re stirring up a matter at Washington Row, that surely will be watched by the boys in iat a their folks at home, all right. he house military affairs committee h: up matters tending to show that of 125,000 : set _ officers only 62,000 are fighting officers thou- sands of civilians who had never seen a camp hav- _ing been given commissions, Uncle Sam is to pay _ Out, annually, about $185,000,000 to officers, many _ of whom occupy. position in the war department : building and other non-combatant places, _ There has long been talk to the effect that the eae Son Coals spon! to be an Qfficer and nD motions of newl: who nevér smell hostile powder “have no’ wpe comment. To add to these things a dis- tg that effect over half the staff is strut-|akunk first” jobs is surely enough to arouse the fierce discussion which the Washington dispatches pre- dict. Already, indeed, it is proclaimed that Demo- cratic Floor Leader Kitchin, already of high-stand- ing in opposition to the administration, proposes to introduce in the house a resolution to require every officer commissioned from civil life to ac- cept field service or give up his commission. Of course, such action would be insulting as well as unnceessary. The commander-in-chief can put every officer in field service, if he pleases. It is Woodrow Wilson’s first essay as commander-in- chief and he may have something to learn as a war lord, but we’re willing to wager something that he doesn’t keep an army of 63,000 officers holding down comfortable oftice chairs, with or without Kitchin’s criticism. The government now feels that in taking Count Czernin at his word it was rather undiscernin. SOLVING IT A farm labor shortage exists. . For many months it has worried men in Wash- ington and on American farms. The U. S. department of agriculture wrestled with it, and not getting anywhere in particular called for help. The U. S. department of labor sprang to the rescue. : Both departments went to work on a solution. Planting came, and still it wasn’t solved. The U. S. postoffice department heard about it. “Easy,” it remarked, “we'll just put it up to the 98,000 third and fourth class postmasters and rural mail carriers, making each an employment agent for Uncle Sam.” Thus, from now on, there are 98,000 men thor- oughly acquainted with farm needs and town labor | surplusses handling the problem. That comes about saying the problem’s solved, doesn’t it? | Whether the Netherlands government consents or not, it seems those Holland-America liners are bound to put to sea on Dutch leave. DON'T BUMP THE BUMPS Men battle for those things they have sought peacefully. Peaceful methods failing, they take into their hands the brand of war; they burn and kill rather than forego that which they have set their hearts upon. Now if men realize that in robbing another they but rob themselves—as the house falls which divides itself—the road would be open for a human conduct based upon a really adequate method of life. America it is who has been granted some ink- ling of this realization. Dissemination of this knowledge is the supreme propaganda,’ the respon- sibility for the carrying on of which, unless we are to sink back into ignorance, we cannot escape. And if we keep our minds free from estima- tions of the possibility of personal loss, if we tie whole-heartedly to the thought that the things we seek at Armageddon are not for ourselves, but only a sharing of our own with others, no reverse shall discourage us. But if we rate the material loss that may pro- ceed to us out of the issues of battle, we shall write fear into our souls and each reverse shall dis- hearten us and each new difficulty shall leave us less muscled. Fear, fear for self, is our only real enemy. Take it from Mr. Hoover, who saw Belgium under the Prussian heel: Don’t bump the bumps. The average expenditure of a German family for amusement is 26 cents a month, says a report from Holland. Evidently the Germans are not finding so much amusement in the submarine campaign as they did at first—and not quite so much in Uncle Sam’s declaration of war. Vice President Marshall says we are talking too much about the war instead of getting down to work and winning it. “I believe,” he adds, “that [ am about the only man who has kept silent since President Wilson asked us to at the beginning of the war.” Thanks, Tom—but why break your record now? — WITH THE EDITORS | GOVERNOR BURNQUIST VINDICATED Every pro-German, professional pacifist and red flag socialist in the country joined in wordy protest last fall when Governor Burnquist put the ban on the proposed annual convention of the Peo- ple’s Council scheduled for Minneapolis and wel- 2omed in advance by the chief executive of this ity. The governor was denounced roundly as an enemy of free speech and a foe of the common people. Among the leaders in the People’s Council movement were Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin; Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker, socialist lecturer’; Adolph Germer, national secretary of the socialist party, and a whole mass of lesser microbes, in- sluding J. O. Bentall, A. L. Sugerman and other ced flag socialists and I. W. W. agitators and sym- pathizers. Berger, Tucker, Germer and a few more of these leaders have been indicted by the federal grand:jury ‘at Chicago on charges of ob- structing recruiting, encouraging disloyalty and interfering with the: prosecution of the war. __» Governor Burnquist is to be congratulated upon naving taken the proper measure of this gentry and having checked their activities when they were planning a nation-wide campaign along lines which have since been adopted with such disas- trous results by the Bolsheviki-in Russia. The federal government has been too patient with the operations of men of this type whom Dean Vance of the Minnesota university had in mind when, in addressing the convention of county attorneys of the state, he said: You have resting upon you very grave responsibilities. and most important duties. It is your duty, without fear or favor, to prevent any kind of seditious utterances because the least we can do, if those boys ; over there in the trenches are going to bare their berasts to the foe and give their lives, i ne is to get rid of the skunks left ‘ind, It is encouragi: authority getting aff might yell be followed in re here the crop y large ferous.

THOMAS ALLEN BOX. WING STAGES BIG LOYALTY CONFERENCE Great Rally Sunday Brings Out Patriotic Spirit of Burleigh Community Wing, N. D., March 19.—The larg- est crowd ever assembled in this vil- lage gathered at the school house Sun- j day to attend the loyalty meeting. The large auditorium was filled to over- flowing. No doubt can possibly ex- ist as to Wing's loyalty after such evidence. Practically every family in town was represented, and all the Germans from north of town drove in and collectively rendered “America” from the stage, The applause follow- ing their show of loyalty, was deaf- ening and brought them ‘back for an encore which was cheerfully given. The combined town and Finnish band of 18 pieces under the leader- ship of H,,A. Kesler, was ‘a decided success. The iband had had but one rehearsal and yet the music was simply immense. The patriotic melo- dies were particularly good, all being home arrangements. \ M. G. Hudbell was chairman, and Mrs. George Anderson presided at the piano, with Master Fillard Hubbell and Miss Edelberg. A solo by ‘Miss Kjel- land, and Mrs. Kapplin were well done and well chosen. ‘Patriotic songs from a pamphlet donated by the Bismarck Commercial club were sung by the audiénce. The chairman then introduced P. C. Evans as the speaker of the occasion, and the address was an agreeable sur- prise to all present. Mr. Evans’ ad- dress contained many. good points for the farmers’ consideration, and many who had doubts went home fully con- vinced, ‘Mr. Evans is a splendid speak- er and his witticisms brought out many outbursts of approval. The meeting closed with the “Show ‘Boy” march, a rousing trombone sec- tion piece, and at its finish without a moment’s rest, the band played “Amer- ica,” which brought the big audience to its feet. Another such meeting will be held at an early date.

Teheran, Feb. 12, '18 GRAIN PRICES ARE BETTERED Chicago, Ill, Mar. 18.—-Fresh meas- ures to curb speculation led to gen- eral evening up of trades today in grain, especially on the part of shorts. After a number of lively price chang- es, corn closed firm, % to 1%c net higher with March 127% and May 125. Oats gained 2% to 3%. The out- come in provisions varied from 2% to de decline to a rise of 12c. Temporarily, a ruling by the ex- change directors that no one interest could at any given time be long or short moren than 200,000 bushels of future deliveries led to a good deal of flurried trading in the corn pit. At first, sellers were greatly in the ma- jority owing to big receipts, but quick covering which.shorts began, brought about a sudden decided upward swing. All of the gains were afterward lost, only to be replaced by new advances that carried the market higher than before. The final strength was as- sociated more of less with the fact, that the weather had become extreme- ly favorable for field work, and that in consequence much hauling from farms might be abandoned, Gossip that exporters were buying oats at the best premium on the crop was largely reported for the strength of the oats market. = e * WE BEG YOUR PARDON | Vickrey Laymen, New York: Forty Thousand Destitute Teheran Alone.

BURLEIGH COUNTY BOARD WILL MEET Final Action on Seed and Feed Bonds Wednesday The Burleigh county commission meets Wednesday in special session ;0 act on the last lot of applications for aid under the seed and feed. bond- ing act of 1918 and to pass upon con- tracts with farmers which the coun- ty auditor ha s executed in a tour of Burleigh completed yesterday. Under the law no applications can be re ceived after this date. Burleigh coun- ty’s $200,600 issue of seed and feed vonds, the first to be purchased by the state out of its university and school-funds, and which were sold at the very favorable interest rate of four per cent, are expected to more than suffice to meet the neds of Fur- leigh county farmers, which probably will necessitate the issuance of about $150,009 worth of bonds.
