in installing confidence and the better

The fighting continues in northern
France with the situation practically
unchanged according to the War Of
Ace. That the battle eclipses anything

GERMAN NIGHT ASSAULTS

The British aviators continue to
cover themselves with glory. They
have accurately located the various
German positions, especially their bat
teries, which are usually Cleverly
masked by wooded hills and by tree
tops cut down and so arranged that
it is impossible to distinguish them
except from the air.
AS an evidence of the desperate
character of the fighting, it is ad-
mitted that on one night alone, that
of the 18th, the Germans made ten dis
tinct attempts to break through the
allied lines. They attacked the Second
British Army Corps, commanded by
General Sir Horace Smith Dorrien,
which was holding the positions north
west of Rheims and near the Craonne
forest. After shelling the British po-
sition uninterruptedly for the entire
day the German infantry was sent
forward under cover of darkness.
Again and again they were repulsed.
but It was not until after their tenth
attempt that they finally retired and
admitted defeat of their plans.
In the morning the entire British
front was completely covered with
dead and wounded Germans.

Leaders Hope to Speed Up

Washington. Feb. 16.-Administra-

speed up the legislative program. An
effort wifi be made this week to dis
pose of more of the appropriation
measures. In the senate the postof
flee bill will be taken up, while the
house will complete the Indian bill. i
The Democratic chieftainss are be

leaders for adjournment, and much
work remains to be done: a 5
While the senate usually disposes
of appropriation bills rapidly there is
a fight in store on the postoffice bill,
owing to the committee amendment
which would take the power from the
postmaster general to change the
rates, weight limits aud other features
of the parcel post system. Several
Democratic senators are planning to

PROSECUTORS WANT MORE POWER.
II Prison Mirror s The county attorneys Of
this state held q meeting at st. Paul last
week for the purpose Of getting together
on certain recommendation which they
propose making tosthe legislature at It's
next session. The majority Of these
recommendation Were5of course design
ed for the purpose Of giving increased
powers to the county prosecutors in the
matter of convicting those unfortunate
ones who may hereafter be brought be
fore the court. .:=- =, q. ; -ss.EesE S
Among the attorneys suggestions 81 to
the legislature, they urged the passage
OF /, law which would give the county
attorney the right to make the closing
argument iii criminal cases. Certainly!
That would be fine. Just think how nice
it would be-for them. And how they
would revcl in it. - g.. II;
Fortunately the members of the 1egisla-
,urc are not in sympathy with this
method or prosecution-at least we don't
think they are; and there is little doubt
that the bill will get any further than a
pigeon hole in some committee room.
1t is pleasing to note, however. that not
all the prosecutors present at this meet
~
them proved that they still retain their
interest in humanity and did not hesitate
to express their feeling in a demand for
fair play. Among these were F. J. Hen
sci of LeSueur county, and L. D. Bar
nard of Renvile. Mr.. Hensel, speaking
on THE Relation of the Prosecuting At
torney to the Accused said that as a
rule the prosecutor did not give the ac-
cused man the consideration he should
which brought out an assertion from MI
Robertson of Hennepin county, to the
effect that he had never known Of an
; innocent man being convicted Mr.. Bar
nard, in reply to this statement, said:
THE county attorney, believe, should
not consider himself SO much a prosecu-
ting attorney as a states attorney, whose
duty it is to ascertain the facts in the
case. 1t is us much his duty to protect
the accused man, if he finds there is rea-
son to believe he is innocent, as it is to
punish him if he is guilty. Too many
prosecutors seem to have the idea that
they should DC prosecutors.
There is no intinlation in the report of
the meeting that M. Barnard's remarks
We're loudly applauded by those present.

PRACTICAL HANDLING OF GREEN
TIMBER LAND. '


Land with heavy and standing TIM
ber is the most expensive ana dlnicu1t 10
clear. 1t is seldom practicable to at
tempt to remove the stumps at the time
the timber is cut, as the removal OF
green stump requires nearly twice as
much power as will be required to re-
move the same stump after 1t has stood
for a few years. When the timber is
green, the ground is full of small roots
close to the surface which make GOOD
blowing impossible. H..
The best way to handle such land is to
cut everything when the marketable TIM
her IS cut, burn the brush and s. small
timber. and then seed down and pasture
the land for few years. If the second
growth Is kept down by pasturing, the
stumps decay faster and, when they are
removed the land Is in good condition TOT
cultivation. -@s.zs9@7s a9as5gI.:2ss.#sz&e2 =
The brush and small trees should be
cut in the winter or spring after the TIM
her Is removed. This should be done
early in order to get the grass seeded
early. If the land is allowed to lie over
a cca~~v tho .acood e~owth comes up
very fast but, If the brush, small trees
$500 n ma, erial are removed and are
h,,~c~a ear,v tho second growth is held
In check. If the land is disked and seed
Ell. to clover or timothy, the second
growth is practically overcome. On the
high land, SOW medium red clover and
timothy, and redtop. The hest time to
SOW is Just as the snow leaves the
ground and the frost starts to go.-A. j.
