A.‘Box has called a meeting of the loyal editors of the state to meet in the house chamber at Bismarck on Friday after- noon, April 26, to talk over matters that will help prosecute the war and other things pertaining to publicity and of interest to the newspaper profes- sion. Mr. Box may rest assured that if it is pos- sible the Times-Record will be represented, altho we cannot definitely say so at this date. We also believe that every newspaper man in the state is loyal—at least we have heard or read nothing in any paper to denote the contrary.—Valley City Times-Record. WHY NOT BE HONEST? The Bismarck Tribune says, “America will never be wholly American till the snakes are driven out, be they pro-Germanism, anti-Ameri- canism, deluded pacificism or dollar-profitism.” Ahem! sounds like the Parshall Leader and the Nonpartisan slogan of “down with war profiteer- ing.”—Parshall Leader. Come now, Bro. Larin, have you the gall to tell us that there was no protest against those unde- sirables until the league was evolved out of the egregious blundering of some of the old political leaders combined and later captured by the long- PNEUMONIA I CAMPTERROR Epidemic of Most Virulent Type Taxing Very Best Medical Skill SAFER THAN IF AT HOME North ‘Dakota Boys at Dodge Getting Attention They Could Not Here Camp Dodge, Ia. April 16.—A new species of pneumonia germ of the most malignant type is being combat- ted by doctors and nurses at this can- tonment, according to medical officers. The scourge which has gained a foothold at the cantonment is believed to be similar to that which obliterat- ed six out of ten members of the Casey family at Valley Junction with: in ten days’ time. ‘Four surviving mem ers of the family, who have been attacked by the plague, are now fight- ing for their lives. So deadly is the newly discovered pneumonia germ that nurses and doc- tors attending patients at Camp Dodge wear masks and gowns. Sheets are hung between every bed. ‘When a pa- LEISURE CLASS Unemployed at Work on Its Farms Pierre, S.

And that is just why they should not be per- mitted during war—if at all ever! For profits and pay envelopes too large there are Liberty bonds, and War Saving Stamps, not to mention income taxes. Better than handing it over to gamblers and supporting a horde of race track loafers, isn’t it? More patriotic and more worth while? Also, there are more essential occupations for the gamblers, jockeys, trainers, and the bunch of money-raising necessities, the draft and taxtaion, loans and our final entry were too closely allied to sedition to be popular? Is it possible that you believe that until this the entire population was hellbent for graft, greed and undermining of the nation? Allowing, as all should, for the undoubted sincerity, patriotism and willingness to sacrifice of the farmers all over the state and nation, and their undoubted Americanism from the ground up, leaguers as well as others, barring a‘handful of men who should be made pariahs, do you believe that it is at all fair to allege that the Nonpartisan league solely embraces the heart and soul of Amer- icanism and that those not in the league are ene- ad | J.

The nurses are girls who have been especially selected for this work aft- er years of training.

Goodwyn Rhett, president of the Chamber of. Commerce of the United States, made a tremen- dous,-a mighty good declaration, in opening the chamber’s sixth annual meeting at Chicago. It is a declaration:that should be pasted in every capi- talist and labor hat in the country. President Rhett warned the business world against Bolshevikism in America and revolution. Industrial unrest, he declared, must be reckoned with and adjusted, if industry and commerce are to. go, on under private initiation and private lead- ership, and he added these pointed words: “What is not for the common good is not for the good of business. . When we have ‘all learned that lesson, suspicion be- tween employer and employe will disappear, conflict between capital and labor will cease, thoughts of coercion will change to co- operation, the spirit of greed will be trans- formed into service.” Mr. Rhett and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce are representative of what economists have, un- democratically, got into the habit of calling a “class’—the capitalistic class, as distinguished from the labor class. Is it true that capitalism is learning that “what is not for the common good is not for the good of business”? There are the strongest evidences of it, in our war measures and purposes. The Hun autocracy strikes at the right of labor to enjoy freedom, justice and the opportunity to pursue happiness in its own way, but it strikes not less at the enterprise, facilities and markets, or oppor-} tunities, or business, or capitalism. There is a fearful common danger. It is as if the world were under.a’ great deluge, and the tiger and the deer sought refuge on an island, their former relations suspended. ‘ In this exigency of war, as never before, are rion, especially American men, putting their dif- ferences and conflicts into the crucible. Into this crucible is going the dross of suspicion, conflict, coercion and inordinate greed, and when from be- neath it are drawn the hot fires of common sacri- fice and common patriotism, we shall have the most precious metal—a stronger national purpose and service for the common good. Oh! why may we not, all of us, have faith that such is the Almighty’s purpose, such His “mys- terious way”! That, out of the struggling, suf- fering, sacrificing, shall come to all of us, capitalist and laboring man, rich and poor, idler and over- worked, the lesson that what is not for the com- mon good is not for the good of any of us! He gave us those heroes who starved and froze at Valley Forge for a common nation and the com- mon good. He gave us those armies of martyrs to the cause of the common good above whose beds the spring flowers are beginning to bloom at Ar- lington, Vicksburg and Chattanooga. He gave us a country of unlimited good in field and forest, river, lake and mine. With both hands He show- ered upon us possibilities for the common good. How have we used all this? Have we fore- sworn suspicion? Have we avoided conflict? Have we refused to coerce? Have we suppressed the spirit of greed? Have we so used our mani- fest and manifold blessings as to ward off Bol- shevikism and revolution? Or,. have we pro- duced and promoted “class,” with what.that means of suspicion, conflict, greed, hate*and “coercion? . President Rhett, high priest of.capitalism, has said a tremendous thing. We will learn the great lesson in this war. Praisé be to*God!“we may come out of it immovably convinced—all of .us— that what’ is not for the common good is no. good PRO-GERMANS USE YELLOW PAINT Up to the present time whenever an institution has shown by its public actions that it is opposed to the government or pro-German, it has some- times had its exterior decorated with yellow paint. However, this week in Dunn Center the Journal office was decorated by having a pail of yellow paint thrown against the front under cover of darkness -on account of: its energy in denouncing pro-Germanism and particularly in its rough-shod method of publicly exposing the patriotism of some of those who are complaining -because they secured only celluloid Red Cross buttons for their 5c instead of the new larger ones now being issued. Dunn Center is as a whole one of the most loyal spots in this neck of the woods, but evidently there are a few kaiserites under cover there yet. Any person who is so niggardly and yellow that he feels that he is being cheated by the Red Cross because his Red Cross button is not as good or as large or as prominent as some other fellow’s should be run out of the country and put in the kaiser’s army where things will be more satisfactory. If a person’s interest in the Red Cross is mostly on account of the color, shape or size of the ornament that he wears and the advertisement it gives him, he should be fired out of the society bodily. This advertising of patriotism is extremely contemp- ible. If yellow paint is now a sign of being too patri- otic, most of the people in Dunn county would like a little. The Dunn Center Journal should feel proud of its patch of yellow.—Dunn County ettler. , THE RUSSIAN GERMANS In a recent issue of the Hazen Star a Mrs. Caldwallader, writes a long article denouncing the German Russian citizens of Mercer county as an ignorant and disloyal class of ‘citizens and be- moaning the fact that so many of them have been able to get a hold of some of Uncle Sam’s domain and have made splendid farms out of them. Mrs. Caldwallader will pardon us if we tAke up the gauntlet thrown down to the German Russians of of this county in calling a few pertinent facts to her attention: _ First, we do not find the name of Caldwallader (if that be the right name of the writer, and not only a psuedonym for a disgruntled politician) among the pioneers of Mercer county, that is among that class of citizens who came here when Mercer county was a wilderness and got their start by picking up buffalo bones and hauling them keep them alive until their first crop could be har “motor” thru the county today and look down upon our less fortunate fellow-citizens who have been too busy making Mercer county over into a garden spot, to sit down and read dime novels or even English classics to improve their education in the English language. Second, whatever the shortcomings of a good many citizens of German Russian descent may be (and we know they are great) in regard to speak- ing the language of the country, we know that they are and always have been law abiding and what is more, honest citizens who labor early and late to improve and multiply the national wealth of the United States. We know that it was this class of citizens that made Mercer couny, and a good many other counties in the northwest, what they are today, out of what was.once considered older ete, some of whom ae now “motoring” rough Mercer county, considered onl : Indians and buffalo. y a ta oe Third, if there is anything needed in Mercer county, it is a feeling of friendship and fellowship between the different races which have come here to make thefr home and to become America: man autocrats express their sincere regrets| this at having killed the counselor of the S' | ras in church. Th _ 50 miles to market in order to buy flour enough. to! vested, and made it possible for us loyal citizens to| smile habit, and it is the most con- tagious thing in the hospital. Its value is inestimable.” Major Todd says it would be-impos- sidle to establish a system of care- taking and supervision in a civilian hospital equal to that maintained in the United States. In every wara, beside corps of nurs-| es, there is a ward surgeon and his assistants “who are constantly in touch with the most minute develop- ments of each case. Over three ward there is anothher supervising surgeon, who is so assigned because of sheer professional ability. .In-addition sur- geons are appointed to. manage groups of wards. By this system. oversights and mistakes are practically impos- sible. NORTH DAKOTA BOYS HAVE NEW SORT OF DUDS Overalls Clothe Latest Drafted Men From Flickertail State at Dodge Camp Dodge, Ia. April 16—A new type of uniform has appeared at Camp Dodge in the form of overalls of an olive drab color, which have been issued to most of the men from North Dakota and Illinois who arrived here under the March call. So far almost all of these men have been retained in the depot brigade to which they were assigned, and have not been assigned to the various regi- ments of the division. They will get ful equipment as soon as they. are definitely placed. Recent divisional orders have plac- ed particular emphasis on the neces- sity of training national army troops for offensive tactics and perfecting the men in the use of the rifle and bayonet. “Every man must have per- fect. confidence in his skill with the bayonet,” the order reads. Lieut. Col. J. F. McKinley of the Three Hundred Fifty-first infantry has been named division musketry officer and has charge of the division musketry school and of musketry fire in general. The 2,600 Alabama negroes who re- ported last week are being given a stiff course of instruction, but have {not yet been organized as a unit. They are still drilling in the new olive drab overalls, but will get full outfits as soon as their definite assignment is determined. ‘BIGGER CLUB HOUSE.

Vithout good red blood a man has a weak heart and poor nerves. In the spring is the best time to sake stock of one’s condition. Uf. the glood is thin and watery, face pale or oimply, generally weak, tired and ‘itless, one should take a spring tonic. Jne that will do the spring house- sleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem-- ody that was used by everybody nearly iO years ago is-still safe and sane oecause it contains no alcohol or nar- zotic. It is made up of Blood root, Golden Seal root, Oregon Grape root, Queen’s root, Stone root, Black Cherry bark —extracted with glycerine and made into liquid or tablets. This blood tonic was first put out by Dr. Pierce in ready-to-use form and since then has been sold by million bottles as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov- | ery. If druggists do not keep this in tab- let form, send 60 cents for a vial to Dr. Pierce’s, Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. Kidney disease carries away a large percentage of our people. What is to e done? The answer is--77. Eat less meat, eat coarse, plain :.~- with plenty of vegetables, drink p.uy of water between meals, and take an uric acid solvent after meals for a while, such as Anuric (double strength), obtainable at almost any drug store. It was first discovered by Dr. Pierce. Most every one troubled with uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot water does sugar. You can obtain a trial package by sending ten cents to Doctor Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel ar? Surgical. Institute in. Buffalo. “ V, ? F, E.
