Those of the old veterans still living and who Were able to attend a conven ,J tion the other day, went on record as beipg opposed to the ratification pf the peace treaty with Germany in its present form. That is just about the attitude we expected from the old sol diers—and they are absolutely correct in the premises. »UV W. B. iff- Senator McCumber is putting up a mighty good fight in the senate for ratification of the peace pact with a few minor reservations of his own. He is out of line with his party of course, as are many others on the other side. Mr. McCumber probably is just as sincere in his position other peo ple are in their opinion's, but if the senior senator will get his ear to the ground he will discover that a big ma jority of people in North Dakota and elsewhere are against the peace treaty. Let him get in touch with the men who served in the trenches and he will discover that oratory and platitudes do not amount to much in'getting any where on this great question. »UV W. S. 5. Judge Dean yesterday sentenced A. C., Townley and A. C. Gilbert, found guilty for conspiring to teach sedition in Minnesota last July to three months in the Jackson county jail and a fine of $100 which is all he could give these fellows Under by 1 a jury of farmers and had a fair and square trial. The sentence imposed is too light for the offense committed, BUY W. 1. The Cooperstown Sentinel-Courier wants the business men and citizens of that city to join in an effort to purchase the Cooperstown- mill and make it a state institution—in other words if the people there put up enough money they can have the state buy the mill. What are the people to gain from such a proceeding. We re member many years ago that when the editor lived in Cooperstown we gave a bonus toward putting in that when it was originally put in. Later oh it was sold to the present management and' today is turning out some of the best flour made in the state and is a thriving and paying in stitution. The town now has thai mill and to buy it all over again looks to us to be a foolish waste of money— unless the people up there simply want the benefits of a state brand up-' on the flour. There does not seem to be any assurance that people will buy flour any cheaper or get better ser vice, if there was there would be some sense in the people up there buying this mill. But they now have this in stitution and cannot possibly lose any thing while on the other hand they have nothing to gain. Any town than does not have a mill would be justified in going after one and would be fool ish not to get in action trying to get one of these state mills located in their town. Drake recently sold the little mill it already had to the state but there has not been any drop in the price of flour and the people there are not getting any better service than they secured before. -t"V w. s. s.—— The fact that North Dakota can raise cattle as \frell as wheat is be coming more evident each year. A large per cent of the people have been of the opinion that small grains are the most profitable thing to raise in North Dakota—in fact, wheat has al ways been more or less of a synonym for North Dakota. The success that has been possible the past few years in the raising of corn and the clover leads one to look for a profitable way to market these feedstuffs. Those who have undertaken the production of purebred cattle have found these feeds especially adapted to the maintenance of the breeding herd, as well as pro viding a balanced ration to {troduce the best growth in the young stock. Breeding and growing of livestock has been found no more difficult than the growing of grain, which industry cfen be carried on only a comparatively small part of the year, and more pro fitable, as it can be carried on thru otit the whole year, thereby making it possible to employ more desirable help and furnishing a steady income throughout the year. It is always well to prbfit by the experience of others, and there is no better way to accomplish tfiis, in this instance, than to come in contact with successful livestock breeders. A public\ sale of purebred livestock is a good place to do this as experienced breeders and buyers who can give expert advice are in Attendance. A sale offering special opportunities to meet the foremost Shorthorn breeders ox this country, as well as to buy Shorthorns of the best type and quality, will be held at Riv erview Farm, owned by B. W. Aylor, Grandin, North Dakota, October 4. In making selections for this sale, the in terests, of the beginner, as well, as those of the Established breeder, have been considered. The advertisement appears in .this paper. WM icr w. g. 1^^ SERIOUS AUTO AC0 DENT LAST NIGHT We do hot know whether Ole ^Mik kelson has a hoodoo pursuing him or what ftut he seems destined to be han dicapped in some manner in these auto races: Last night he and Al. Higgen bottom were up on the race tracki speefing up for races for tomor row. They had weft going at a pretty stiff gait and when they had turned the corner on the north ena of the track to tout* down: the straii they ran into a ldt of low# a =6=8= 't Klif" the Minnesota law. In our judgment these men got off light. While our boys were going day by day to the front to serve the coun- try in the great wopld war those men by their speeches anl papers were cir culating matter that was anything but patriotic and they qertainly were not spending much of their money in buy ing bonds. The Townley press, of course,- will play up the martyr act and claim that' these men were rail roaded' sthrough to conviction, but that ... will not go down with clear thinking people. They were convicted on strong evidence way th*t 4*'* wm%¥x had been piled up in a heap, shot to one side, struck aw who will be laid up for some time and deprived of the privilege of earning a living. J. H. Sampson: You can tell your readers today that while I personally did not notify the boys to wfctch out for th*? dirt on the race track they were notified just the same and no body but themselves are to blame for this accident.

Directed by Harry Beaumont, who. is largely responsible for- all the likable star's Goldwyn successes, it has the added beajity of settings executed in Hugo BaUin's finest manner, and a cast of uncommonly finished supporting pl&yers.

She is Helene Chadwick. well known to photoplay enthusiasts everywhere for her youth, beauty and sympathet ic appeal, which finds^ full wreressMii as the romantic heroine of Hearts ease." Rosemary Theby, equally a favor ite with audiences by reason of her intensely dramatic gifts, appears as Lady Neville, a vivid figure in a con servative English setting.
