The Passing OF Napoleon.

Mr.. Lorraine l'etre has managed to
poleon. no small feat in these days of
intimate research. In his "NapOIeOn's
Last Campaign In Germany. 1919. he
tells us that Napoleon's overthrow
was accompanied if not actually caus-
ed by the changed conditions Of his
a~dversaries. He found himself no
longer fighting against dyNasties with
their disciplined and hired armies, but
against whole peoples Encouraged by
the examples of Spain and Russia to
rise ell masse against the tyranny Of
the oppressOr." Mr.. Petre reminds us
of the story first told by Lord Acton
Of Napoleon's realization that his star
was on the decline. Lord Acton says:
"Having been repulsed at Laon by the
Prussians. Napoleon tried his fortune
against the Austrians and vas defeat
ed at Arcis. 1t was here be understood
that the end had come and that he
rode forward and stood v e a she'll

WILL HELP TO solve
farm LABOR PR0bL

The First National Bank of Bottineau will be pleased to
render what assistance it can to its farmer friends and patrons
in the vicinity of Bottineau in the matter of obtaining farm
help for the season of 1918 or any part of it. We would be
pleased to have you inform US as to what help you need and
when you will need it. stating as nearly as possible as to the
time you wish the help to begin and how long to continue.
We will thereupon communicate with employment agen-
cies, railway Offices and others having knowledge of available
farm help and will endeavor to get the required amount of men
IN the ground, and upon their arrival here we will know exact
ly where and to whom to direct them.
With the cooperation of the farmers, bankers. business
men and commercial and farmers clubs it should be quite
possible to induce the required number of farm hands to come
here. We want neither too many nor too few. Past years
scarcity of men was mainly caused by the over-inducem ents of
previous years, many more having been induced to come to
North Dakota than could find work. This statement applies
more particularly to the Southern portion of the state, but the
Northern portion was the part that paid the penalty.-THE

The following suggestions
on poultry for May are by Mrs.
G.. w. Randlett of the agricul-
tural college:
DO not give any food to the
chicks until they are from "a to
36 hours old. Warmth is more
important than food. Feed
them a little every two hours
for about a week. After then
three times a day. Chicks do
not eat much at a time but they
eat often. Feed them at regul-
ar times and do not omit a
meal.
Keep a box Of fine charcoal,
small grit and dry bran before
them all the time and on the
floor of the coops sprinkle fine
sand in the cut clover and
alfalfa leaves. Plenty of fresh
water at all times. Give them
water in something that only
the beak can become wet. DO
not let the chicks walk in the
water. Keep the coop and
yards dry, for damp places
prove fatal.
A prepared chicken food, if
properly balanced, contains
bone. muscle and feather MAX
ing properties, and car be fed
for the first two or three weeks
with splendid results. Just
give them what they will clean
up nicely.
Stale bread that has been
dried in the oven and then roll
ed fine and moistened with
milk or water enough to make
the mixture crumbly is good.
Hard boiled eggs r good if
you let them cook long enough.
Sprinkle a little fine sand on
the eggs before feeding.
Never feed raw corn meal
stirred into water and milk. 1t
causes bowel trouble and per
haps a loss of half and some
times all your flock. Corn
bread dried and rolled fine,
then moistened with milk or
water until it is crumbly is a
good change. Never feed slop-
ly feed. Have it dry and
crumbly.
After the third week any
wholesome food can be fed with
good results. BE sure to keep
all feed and drinking dishes
clean. Wash and scald the
dishes, keep coops and yards
dry, warm and clean, and you
will have no trouble raising the
entire flock. A chick should
weigh a pound at five weeks
and ready for market at eight
weeks.
