AUCTION SALE and Market Day in Val ley City, on Saturday, November 23 Harris and Mason will hold a sale on next Saturday in front of Mart Mason's office between 5th and 6th avenues.

Sale Starts at 1 O'clock Sharp HARRIS & MASON, LEST WE FORGET Americans will do well to be on, their guard against whatever may emerge from Germany, even though it take the form of a piteous appeal from the women to save millions from starvation. Germans are fa mous propagandists. We may be: willing to believe food conditions with them are as bad as they represent,, but what means have we of knowing I that no ulterior designs are veiled by 1 these appeals, which Germans know so well how to make for themselves and to disregard when they come from others This appeal comes apparently for I women and children. When the women of Belgium and France were undergoing treatment worse than death at the hands of German sol diers, with official military connivance, if not instruction and when children' of this ravaged section were bayonet eted and crucified as part of this same policy of frightfulness, was the voice of the womanhood of Germany up raised in protest to the authorities and I in defense of their sex and of helpless childhood When the Lusitania was stilloted by a German assassin of the under seas and scores of women and children perished, did these mothers" of Ger many, their bosoms bleeding at the atrocious horror, denounce the outrage upon innocent womanhood and in fancy When the news reached the I fatherland a public holiday was pro claimed and women and children pa-1 raded the streets to the sound of mu sic, scattering flowers and singing "Gott mit Uns." Soldiers of the allied armies, wound-1 ed and prisoner, testified that the re finement of cruelty and the acme of torture was inflicted upon them, in addition to insult and indignity, by the women of Germany. We cannot forget these things. We I cannot forget the long and unspeak able suffering Germany in-flicted on the people of every country its ar-1 mies conquered and laid waste and starvation in many cases was the least of the agony. And in the whole ac cusing catalogue of horror is no re lieving of mitigating record of one word of protest, one expression of re-J proof, one act of oftposition from the womanhood of Germany. How can I we know that the very hands now rais ed in appeal were not stained by the I cruelties whi?h never were rated as] cruelties as long as enemies of the*] fatherland were the victims? America and he* allies will d'o what I is just and right in the cirtutnstances.'j They will not imitate the brutes'I whose tusks they Have drawn1. Their! justice will be stern, though- temper ed with mercy. But they cannot for get and they will not be betrayed fey a mistaken sentimentality. The above from the St. Paul' Dis-J patch has a great element of tratfcj connected: with it awf we feel some what the same way. After reading1 how the American boys who had' been taken prisoners had been turned loose half starved and half clothed in the freezing cold weather to walk twenty four hoars until they could reach the American lines, we do not feel like breaking our back to help feed these Huns.

It is difficult to realize, but it is none the less true, that the Murman coast of Russia is as far north as King Wil liam Land, where Sir John Franklin and his men abandoned the Erebus and the Terror. But the Gulf stream makes all the climatic difference. For that reason It is possible for Quebec to be much further south than London, and New York to be on the parallels of latitude of Spain and yet have winters of great severity.— Christian Science Monitor.
