26. WILL NEED NORTH DAKOTA HORSES State Agricultural Commissioner John M. Hagan, who returned from Washington Monday night found that there will be a market within six or eight months for the hardy type of horses raised in North In a conference with the quartermasters' department and Isaac Lincoln of Aberdeen, S. Mr. Hagan was told that the goveity, it will require a number of light nvy artillery horses.

"Horses raised in 'e and in South Dakota will meet said Mr. Hagan. government will want horses Mng from 1250 to 1400 pounds for lift rtillery, and those weighing fronfo to 1600 pounds for heavy They should be between the ages five and ten years. "For the lighter type the government expects to pay between $150 per head, and for the heavier horses between $150 and $180." Mr. Hagan urged that farmers having horses of this type keep them in condition so that they can be placed in first class trim when the call comes.

Mr. Hagan attended a meeting of the National Wheat Growers' association which discussed the price of 1919 wheat. "The delegates felt that President Wilson was not fully informed when he fixed the 1919 price the same as in a bushel." said Mr. Hagan. "The association decided to ask that a price of $2.46 for northern Spring No.

1, or its equivalent, based on Chicago delivery, be set." This price was recommended unanimously by 17 of the 24 members of the federal advisory board to the department of agriculture, of which Mr. Hagan is a member. "We asked that the president appoint a commttee of disnterested persons to arrive at the 1919 wheat prce as he suggested in his proclamation fixing the price," continued Mr. Hagan. "The cost of labor, fertlizer and farm machinery has advanced so rapidly that, assuming the 1918 price of $2.20 to be reasonable, it would warrant a 20 cent increase." Mr.

Hagan explained the fact that the 20 cent increase made the price $2.46, by saying that the United States Grain corporation, which bore the six cent freight on this year's wheat, would not bear the six cents next year, and that hence it must be figured in.

Good- wages. Address Box 96, Rogers. 2d-2wp SHE TAKES THE WRONG ATTITUDE By pledging themselves to double their initial subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan, St. Paul suffragists who are identified with the National American Woman Suffrage association gave answer to Mrs. A.

R. Colvin of St. Paul, chairman of the Minnesota branch of the National Woman's party, who was quoted as saying that she would buy no Liberty Bonds because of the defeat of the suffrage amendment in the United States senate. Mrs. Colvin is alleged to that her own money, with which she lad planned to buy Liberty Bonds, would be diverted into a campaign fund to be raised by the National Woman's party to defeat the "shortsighted, incompetent men' who rejectthe suffrage amendment.

Incensed at her stand, members of the Ramsey County Woman Suffrage association, St. Paul branch of the National American Woman Suffrage association, announced they would buy just twice as many Liberty Bonds as they had originally intended. "As I understand it, Mrs. Calvin boldly declared herself out of sympathy with Americas war program just because the suffrage amendment did not pass the senate," Charles W. Gordon, chairman of the Ramsey County Liberty Loan commitee, said when the remarks attributed to Mrs.

JColvin were repeated to him. "Any woman who thus subordinates her duty to her country to her personal feelings is doing material damage to the cause which she is trying to serve." "If the government wants money of me it will have to tax me," Mrs. Colvin was quoted as saying to a St. Paul newspaper reporter who interviewed her after the defeat of the suffrage amendment was announced. "I will no linger have any heart in giving help to causes controlled by a group of short-sighted, incompetent men.

The National Woman's party will immediately undertake a campaign of opposition to the democratic party, which has defied President Wilson and is wholly responsible for the failure of the suffrage amendment." The National Woman's party, of which Mrs. Colvin is chairman in Minnesota, is the radical suffrage group responsible for the "picketing program" carried out in Washington last winter. Large numbers pf their leaders, wjio picketed the White House in an effort to force President Wilson to take a stand on the suffrage question, were arrested and went on hunger strikes when given jail sentences.

TEN YEARS HENCE Ten from now the greatest war in history will have been conclusively decided and the world will have been made permanently safe for democracy. Ten years hence land wheatless meals, meatless days and the like will be only a memory which we will recall as a curiosity. Ten years hence and the boys who fought in the Great War will be our most prominent citizens. It will be a different but undoubtedly a better, world also a happier world, in which we live ten years from now.

What a history we will have to look back upon and ponder over for those of us whose span of life extends and beyond these eventful years. Ten years hence the slacker will have a lot of thinking to do and a lot of explanations to make. The profiteer, the food hoarder, the man who did not help the government, the ad biter, the man who did these classes of people there will not be a great deal of happiness, in life ten years from now. The time for service to country is the immediate present. A year or two from now will not do.

The war may be won in the next twelve months to come. Happy will be the man, the woman or the child who clearly sees the common duty, whatever that duty may happen to be, and cheerfully performs it. Project your mind ten years into the future and ask yourself what you were doing to win the great war and thereby perpetuate the principles of American civilization. Think it over now!
