THX BTATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER. (Established 1878) <u> FACES A DIFFICULT JOB United States enters into the final phase of the peace negotiations. President Wilson has briefed for the senate in an address, faultless as usual in diction, the peace treaty now before the members for ratification. He faces no easy task. Senate leaders are in a belligerent mood. Their tradi- tional dignity has been ruffled by Wilson who saw fit to eliminate them from all participation in the preliminaries, The spot light he reserved for him- self and a few chosen associates—but at all times he dominated the peace mission. Everyone including the president himself must be aware that he returns with a considerable loss in prestige. It is both a personal and a political loss. Election returns in the recent congressional contests confirm the latter while the former fact can be inferred through the comment of the na- tion’s press. His reception at New York was a hearty one. He was assured of that for the American people are generous and partisanship did not mar the welcome which the head of the government re- turning from a great mission deserved. But after the din of the crowd, comes the dif- ficult task of placating the cross currents of poli- tics at Washington where an unfriendly senate sits, none too sympathetic to Wilson’s conception of internationalism and the proposed participation of the United States in the disputes of the Old World. Wilson’s first attempt will be to regain his lost prestige. As soon as possible, he will take to the hustings and there. in a series of important speeches try to win the people to his plan of inter- national brotherhood. How successful he will be time only can tell. Opponents of the league of na- tions will watch this appeal to the people for a vote of confidence intently and probably will be guided largely by the reception President Wilson receives. He is a force to be reckoned with as a public speaker. He probably has selected the only ready means of winning back lost prestige and de- spite senatorial opposition, may be able to carry the peace treaty thru the first line trenches and finally over the top. Much of the criticism heaped upon Mr. Wil- son’s head in connection with the league of nations is unmerited.. It was a foregone conclusion that he would be the target of petty partisan attacks, but no one can justly accuse him of being anything but intensely American in his attitude at the peace table. Politicians who seek to make political capi- tal out of the peace negotiations are doomed to disappointment. The nation is not divided on the league idea along political-lines. America spent blood and treasure on the fields of France and Flanders and the same ideals that prompted those sacrifices should obtain in the halls of con- gress when the treaty is revised for ratification. It is the president’s task to assuage the bitter- ness, to keep partisanism from the peace treaty deliberations as we believe he has down to the present time and to keep the nation united in this hour as he unified it for entry into the great struggle. His address to the senate is devoid of acerbity. In the space of 5,000 words he has given the sen- ate’a remarkable digest of the notable peace par- ley—second to none in history. One passage sug- gests America’s role and reflects her lofty senti- ment: “That part was dictated by the role America had played in the war and by the ‘expectations that had’ been created in the minds of the peoples with whom we had associated ourselves in that great struggle. “The United States entered the war upon a different footing from every other nation except our associates on this side of the sea. We entered it not because our ma- terial interests were directly threatened or because any special treaty obligations to which we were parties had been violated but only because we saw the supremacy and even the validity, of right everywhere put in jeopardy and free government likely to be everywhere imperiled by the intolerable aggression of a power which respected neither right nor obligation and whose very ‘system of government flouted the rights of the citizen as against the autocratic auth- ority:of his governors. And in the settle- ments of the peace we have sought no spe- cial ‘reparation for ourselves but only the restoration: of right and the assurance of liberty everywhere that the effects of the settlement were to be felt. We entered the war as the disinterested champions of right and we interested ourselves in the terms of the peace in no other capacity”!!! No one has voiced better America’s war aims, As we entered the war upon a different footing from every other nation so we sat at the peace table under different conditions with no other object than to preserve free democracy and to insure as far as possible a lasting world peace. It is now up to the senate to unite with Wilson in pursuing farther the high ideals of this nation and no better text book could they have than this address. THE CAMPING PARTY Yo ho, for the open road, the vaulted sky free of skyscrapers and chimneys, the winding dusty road, the babbling brooks and all that sort of summer stuff. Yo ho, for the good old-time camping party! Jim and Joe and Hank and Bob and yourself— the same old gang, bound for the same old place— the quiet, grassy nook near the old swimming pool where you had so many happy camping parties when you were all kids together. It’s strange, when you get to the camping place, how small it looks and how wild, too, The grass seems rank and your mind wanders to thoughts of snakes—which it never did as a boy. Hank starts cussing because he finds he’s forgot- ten his tooth brush. He never worried about such a thing as a kid! At noon you all discover, to your infinite regret, that Bob has lost his supposed skill as a cook—which, come to think of it, you now feel that he never had. At night all the mosquitoes in the world make merry in your vicinity. Your bed is so dawgone hard you can’t sleep. The next morning you're a wreck. Of course the party breaks up the second day and you spend the rest of your vacation at a sani- tarium resting up. But the trip is a great success anyhow, for what you suffer on it you more than make up for when you return to the job in the satisfaction you get in telling about the wonderful, wonderful time you had! HOW TIMES DO CHANGE With all the propaganda and renewed interest in the preserving, canning and drying of fruits and vegetables it appears likely that after while the average family will do none of these things. The seasonal glut in the fruit market was what impelled the housewife to fill her jars. Some time in the season there was more fruit than demand, and so, with strawberries at a nickel a box, and peaches twenty cents a peck, and plums a bucketful for a dime, canning was good business. But there will shortly be no glut. In fruit districts, where a few years ago a third the crop had to be dumped on the market at any price, there is no dumping. Giant dehydration plants have risen and are taking all the fruit the growers will sell, and taking it at top prices. Growers this spring signed contracts with packing houses for their entire output of small fruits for TEN YEARS. ; Strawberries are contracted four years ahead ; the life of the plantation. Apples are being contracted at top prices be- fore the fruit is well set on the trees. In the west great plants are being built in dozens of fruit and vegetable districts, and so great is the demand by these plants that they are financing farmers, furnishing seed or'plants, con- tracting for the entire harvest for so long as the plantations will bear, and urging the planting of thousands of more acres at prices which should give the grower an average profit of $175 an acre a year. No, madam, the day of cheap fruit has gone. If you have a back yard you can solve the problem by planting three dozen assorted small fruits, and a dozen dwarf apple, pear and plum trees. Other- wise even your old reliable flivver soon can’t take you far enough in the country to insure your load of canning supplies. FATE In 1917 two rival Republican organizations fought for control of the city of Philadelphia. The Fifth Ward was a hotbed of strife. There, the MeNichol-Penrose leader was Carey and the Vare leader, Ike Deutsch. A few days before the primary election the Deutsch gang imported gunmen from New York and there was shooting, blackjacking and violence vm ALMOST MoTHER- SAID CAN OPENER “It was a splendid meeting. There was wonderful enthusiasm. 'We were inspired with the conviction that our association has a great work to do here in North Dakota. And the peo- ple of Devils.Lake cannot be too highly commended on the spirit of hospitality they displayed.” Such was the report. which Mrs. J. W. Burch. of‘ Stewartsdale, a delegate from the Burleigh county chapter, brought back Thursday from the’ first annual convention: of ‘the ‘American War Mothers of North Dakota which closed last _ evening at Devils Lake. Both of the Burleigh delegates were honored by the,,association. “Mrs. P. H. Throdahl of Bismarck .was named state treasurer, ‘and Mrs. Burch was given important committee assign- ments. Both are charter members of the Burleigh ‘county chapter, in whose organization they were very active. v The Devils Lake World says of this women, the following: “History wasismade this morning when the Northi!: Dakota. American War Mothers. convened for the first time at..9:30 .at Chautauqua, with Mrs. E. F. Reese, State War. Mother, presiding. Bes “The meeting was formally opened by the singing of: America, followed by an invocation by Rev. H. Garfield Walker. The business of appointing committees then).occupied the atten- tion of the delegates. The credential committee consisted of Mrs. Eugene Fenelon,. Mrs. Jas./ Stenson and Mrs. Louis Hanson, all of Devils \Lake. The nominating committee was made up of Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Kneeshaw, and Mrs. I. Glerum; finance commit- tee. Mrs. Albert -F.

In an attack upon the Carey headquarters Eppley, a policeman, was mortally wounded. Various of the gunmen now are in prison. Deutsch was tried and convicted but the verdict was overturned. The other day Deutsch was sitting in front of his home in the Fifth Ward with his wife and child by his side. A dog, a pet of his child, was attract- ed by something and started to run off. The child cried in alarm and Deutsch arose and went in pur- suit of the dog. : He had gone but a short distance when he gasped, put his hand to his heart and sank to the pavement. An ambulance was summoned and he was taken to a hospital where he died without re- covering consciousness. Then it was discovered that: The ambulance was the same one in which Eppley was taken to the hospital, was driven by the same person and the same interne sat on the seat in the rear. Also that Deutsch by chance was placed on the geon, same bed in the hospital in which Eppley died and was attended by the same nurse and the same sur- SOMEBODY Cace RED CROSS NUR Posi TWE THAT To Oven A cCOCANUT, BUT MINE Dorsi’1 SEEM To WoRE ii} Yy sie used A — FIRST STATE CONVENTION OF WAR MOTHERS WAS SPLENDID GATHERING and treasurer was followed by re- ports from the various chapters.

Mrs. Ole Serumgard read an_inter- esting report regarding the-state or- ganization of the American War Mo: thers, regarding the organization of eight active chapters in four months’ time. A feature of this meeting was the exhibition by Mrs. Elmer Johnson of Devils Lake, of the Croix de Guerre presented to her son, Capser John- son by General Petain of the French Army of the East and which arrived this morning just before she left to attend the convention. Needless to say Mrs. Johnson’s news received the ovation it deserved. At one o'clock the meeting was ad- journed until later in the day and the ladies repaired to. the main hall of eon. was served, The long table was arranged in the center of the hall. The Stars and Stripes, alternated with Japanese lanterns of red and blue, ‘were sus- pended just over the table while the table decorations consisted of red and white poppies, significant of the “poppies that bloom in Flanders fields.” Small American flags decor- ated the individual nut dishes. The walls of the club house were attract- ively hung with flags, green boughs and the red and blue lanterns, and the entire effect was unusually beau- tiful. : | Serving the luncheon ‘were Misses Adah Reese and Dorothy Serumgard of Devils Lake and Norma and Huld- ah Ellestad of Grand Forks.

SBVEN KILLED IN TORNADO AT DUBUQUE Dubuaue, It., July 10.—With seven dead, one fatally injured, property damaged to the extent of several hun- dred thousands of dollars in Wednes- day’s storm, Dubuque this morning is recovering from the most severe rain and flood in her city. Search is be- ing made today for the. bodies ot two victims, a woman and a child, who were swept to their death in the tor- rents which emptied into Bee. Branch |, sewer. It is thought the bodies were carried into the river a mile away. The bodies of five other victims, one woman and four children, were recovered shortly after the storm subsided.

SIGE SHE WAS A CHL (Mrs. O'Neill Gains, Eighteen Pounds on Tanlac and Troubles Are Overcome. “T have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and have actually gained eighteen pounds,” was the re- markable statement made by Mrs. Mamie O'Neill of 2601 1-2 Welton street, Denver, Colorado recently, “Ever since I was a child,” Mrs. O'Neill continued, “even as far back as I can remember, I have had trou- ble with.my stomach. Everything I would eat soured on my stomach caus- ing awful pain and at times I would almost smother from the gas which would rise up around my heart. My trouble became worse as I grew old- er and finally I got to where I dread- ed to eat anything on account of the dreadful suffering it caused me. “1 tried every kind of medicine, I think, that is made for stomach trouble, both in tadlet and liquid ‘form, but nothing ever did me any good. I fell off.in weight, was very weak and when night came I was so tired I could hardly move. My broth- er in Pueblo told me of the fine re- sults he had gotten from Tanlac and advised me to try it. The result is, I’m just beginning to enjoy the bless- ings of good health. I can’t remem- ber when I was in as good physical condition as now and it’s the first time since I was a child that I could eat without suffering afterwards. My appetite is splendid and I can eat just anything I want and enjoy it, and I know it my food did not agree with me I could never have gained so much in weight. I sleep well every night now and Tanlac has built up my strength until 1 can do my work without getting the least bit tired. I now recommend Tanlac to everybody, because of what it has done for me and I'm buying a bottle now for a friend of mine for I believe it is just what she needs.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Earrette and in Wing by F. P. Ho- man. —Advt. AUDITOR WANTS PUBLIC FUNDS WITH TREASURY Insists That “Down There” Is Not Place for Workmen’s /Compensation Payments / State. Auditor Kositzky has brought to the attention of Secretary John Brown of the ‘workmen’s* compensa- tion bureau the fact that the act under which this bureau operates requires that contributions to the compensa- tion fund be deposited with the state treasurer, who is the official of the defund, and through whom payments from the fund are to be made on warrants. “Brown admitted to me,” said Mr. Kositzky today, “that the bureau was getting in money from premiums. asked him what he was doing with it. ‘Oh, we have it down there,’ he said. ‘Down there,’ wherever that may be, is not the place for public funds, which may run into tens of thousands. The law provides specifically that this mon- ey shall be deposited with the state treasurer, in order that there may be some check upon them. It is my duty as state auditor to require that public funds be paid into the state treasury, and I intend to insist that the work- men’s compensation bureau, comply with the law. I feel that State Treasurer Olson, all things considered, is a better custodian of these funds ‘than anyone ‘down there,’ could be. Laxity of this kind will not be tolerated if I can help it. The people paying this money will have protection.” Tribune Want Ads bring results. POSLAN CAN HEAL SICK.
