Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai. ‘Never was there a more opportune time than the present for a re-ratification by all: peoples of this universal constitution. The Ten Commandments were delivered amid thunder and lightning and men who will but heed can hear above the storm of our own stressful times the voice calling the erring peoples of the world to return to the basic principles of the Dec- alog. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet. ; Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. In these four edicts we have a perfect moral foundation. for world-wide economic and political reconstruction of which men speak so much, but of which so little has been done though it is a year and a half since the destructive processes of war came to an end. And it may be of interest to our profiteers to be informed that after handing down the Ten Commandments the Lord gave what might be called an interpretation, saying: “Ye shall not make me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you! gods of gold.” THIS TIME f Ma starts her annual spring house cleaning on almost the same terms—financially—as last year.

THE PROPER ANSWER “Guess who this is!” The person who calls you on the telephone and tries to force yéu into a guessing contest is a suave, considerate fellow compared to the tactless one who confronts you in person with “I bet you don’t remember me!” ‘| sugar.” The report states that “white lightning” is made of corn and sugar and that “monkey rum” is made with molasses or low-grade sugar. Some readers who have supposed that the sugar inher- ent in grain is by itself sufficient for the distilla- tion of whiskey, may be inclined to doubt this story, and probably the published account is ex- aggerated. But we rest assured that the revenue officers who have chased the “moonshiners” of the southern mountains these many years now have a job on their hands of a magnitude such as they never dreamed of in former years.—Mi- not News. , CHOICE OF TWO EVILS The St. Paul election, which resulted in the con- tinuance in office of Mayor Hodgson for two years more, was not a clean cut fight between the radical elements and the constructive citi- zens. : It was a choice of two evils. Mayér Hodgson, personally one of the most popular and likable ‘men St. Paul has ever known, has been carrying the O’Connor gang on his shoulders. . Thousands of St. Paul citizens have been disgusted with the administration of the city’s police affairg and were willing to accept even a radical of the type of Mahoney rather than continue the Hodgson regime. Burglars have reached such extremes of boldness that they have invaded residences in daylight, terrorized the householders, leisurely searched the prem- ises, helped themselves to food, and walked out unmolested. In view of the widespread resentment against such conditions, it is surprising that Mayor Hodg- son had even the slender plurality he did, and that St. Paul did not prefer to take chances with a Socialist on the theory that conditions could not be worse than with the O’Connor machine riding in the saddle.—Devils Lake World. That “free” people’s government of Bolshevist Russia. has repudiated itself several times, but perhaps never so completely as when conscripted labor was decreed, Trotzky explaining that “mo- bilization is more necessary now than ever be- cause we have to deal with peasants and un- skilled labor which can not be utilized to the full- est extent by any other means than military dis- cipline.” Ninety per cent of a “free” people forced to labor under military rule!’ How would the American proletariat like to see this plan im- He knows you don’t remember him...

Bayes. + Twenty years. ago there was a successful farcg written by the late Charles. Hoyt alled. “A _ Contented Woman.” ; It was a satire on the feminist movement of the day and a subject that lent itself then to mirth making. The woman voter is a stern reality today and is very jealous of her prerogatives at the ballot box, but she won't be joffended ‘at “Ladies First.” for only’ the main idea of the farce, that 6f a woman candidate for office, has been retained. Florence Morrison is one of the featured members of (Miss Bayes’ cast. She is a tremendously big wo- man and plays the role of a rampant suffragette -with a henpecked: bus- ‘band, the latter played by Al: Roberts. This pair are responsible for much laughter, particularly when the hus- ‘band turns on his wife and assumes the boss-ship of his own household. Arthur Hull is the baritone of the company and some of the other play- ers are Harrison Green, Catherine Parker, Almeda Fowler, Arthur Brun- ner and James Ashley. There is a well trained chorus of pretty girls to help the fun along. ~—_~________§___.4 | PEOPLE’S FORUM |; ——___________» Coronado Beach, May 8, 1920.

Sidney, ‘Lambert and ‘Williston seem to be the favorites. Many are buying land too in the irrigated district around Dun- kirk and Shelby, which is just being watered for the first time by irriga- tion. Lands here are too high to pur- chase for grain raising or grass. ~ ‘Hundreds of North Dakota folks winter here but most all want to get back-to the Flickertail state and get busy in the summer months.

Mr. Lewis will be supported by a large and notable cast, which includes Gladys Wield. Alexander Shannon, ‘Harold Forshay, Leslie Austin and Dora Mills Adams. * This picture has attracted great in- terest in New York and elsewhere from the fact that just now there are two claimants for the honor of being the best Jekyll and ‘Hyde on the screen. One is.Sheldon Lewis and the other is Joh) Barrymore. Both men present very interesting studies of Stevenson's great character, and, while they differ in many re- ~¢ | | HOW TO PLANT | SEED POTATOES - | Agricultural College Experts Offey Helpful Hints | Cutting Expensive Seed [Potatoes The amount of potatoes secured per bushel of seed planted can be increas- ed by cutting the seed into smaller Pieces but it must be kept in mind that the smaller the seed pieces, the better the seed bed must be prepared as the small seed piece will not have very much food and jit will also dry out easily, so that if it is not given the very best conditions it may fail to produce at all. Yield from Different Size Pieces In experiments made at the North Dakota experiment station m 1918 the yield from potatoes cut into one-half ounce pi 29.1 bushels for every bi seed wu When the seed pie were cut into one ounce pieces thg yield was 16.4 bushels per bushel of seed. while when the pota-! toes were cut into two ounce pieces} the yield was 9.1 bushel per bushel of. seed used. These potatoes were plant- ed in.an almost ideal seed bed. Potato Parings and Eyes Oce pnally one sees statements. about using potato parings for see: ‘Mr. Yeager, of the North Dakota agri*} cultural college states that the trouble | with these is that there is not enough food material and then the shape of the piece is such that they dry out; easily. He says the same thing is also true of the so-called potato eyes, ‘ which are often sold on the market (silver or stamps) for proof box and guarantee, to Jekn Hart Brittain, Sta. F, New York. and that the only conditions under which any results can be expected: a. demned. from potato parings. and- from _pota- to eyes, is that they be planted into a rich and very well prepared seed bed, but that even then the results are apt to be disappointing. He suggests that it is better to cut the whole sound potato into small pieces, each of which has at least one eye and to cut these pieces blocky as they will then dry out less readily, than if cut long and thin. The question also comes.up as to the planting of ‘small Potatoes. On Using Small Potatoes for Seed ‘Mr. Yeager states that a small po- tato from a good hill may prodice nearly as well as a large potato from the same hill but as a rule there are not many such potatoes. It is the very poor hills the produce the many small. ones. He states that with the present prices for seed it would be jus- tifiable to plant small potatoes but that it must ‘be kept in, mind that this cannot be kept up year after year with out the potatoes running out so that as a general practice it must be con- It is also important that the seed bed be very well prepared when such expensive potatoes have to be used as is the case this year. The well prepared seed bed will produce a better stand with a resulting better yield.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best ‘Have you ever stopped to reason why. it is-that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and ate soon for- gotten?

This applies more par- ticularly to a medicine. <A. medicinal Preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have ‘been benefited, to those who are in need of t.

Hyde has the centre on the screen, Mr. Lewis seems to bring out the distorted horror of Dr. Jekyll’s baleful double with great- er effectiveness. The production has been mounted with an eye to making the rendition of the story extremely dramatic, and a fortune has been spent on the read- ing titles, which embody many new and novel departures. _—— ’ PROCLAMATION | > —~> The American Legion Week.
