Furious fighting continues in north
ern France, where the allied French
and British armies are at grips with the
German forces in what is characterized
as the crucial action of the battle OF
the Aisne. Beyond admitting this fact,
the official statements are vague. Few
details of the struggle which may be
the turning point of the western cam
paign have been given to the waiting
public.
One sentence: ""There is no change
in the situation,' epitomizes the Off
cial reports from London, Paris and
Berlin. The allies claim to have made
slight advances here and there, notably
on the heights of the Meuse. The Ger
man official statement, however, de-
elares that "reports concerning vic
torious advance of the enemy are I'M
true
Both the British and the French
official statements refer to the violence
of the attacks made by the Germans,
who seem to have redoubled their eff
forts in an attempt to hurl back the
allied line. The reports indicate, how
ever, that the French and British have
lost no ground before the onslaught OF
the invaders.
y very rigorous censorship has eNl'
IDENTIFY been imposed at all points, par
ticularly in London, regarding the ope
rations at the front, as little news is
permitted to come through. The war
| officials doubtless fear, first, to raise
the hopes of the people without some
decisive result having been attained
and, second, that the publication OF
even the smallest details OF the opera
tions might be of aid to the Germans

MISSIONARY FESTIVALS.
Series of Meetings to Be Held in Yer
mont Towns in October.

The Woman 5 American Baptist For
eign Missionary society is planning to
hold missionary festivals of unusual in
terest in various parts of Vermont
during October, as follows: Cavendish,
Oct. %; Rutland, Oct. 2l; Burlington,
Oct. %; Bennington, Oct. %. In each
of these towns the meetings will be
held in the Baptist church. There will
be all-day sessions, that of the even
ing being especially for the young PEG
pie, with stirring music. To these fes-
rivals the women and girls of neigh
boring Baptist churches are warmly in
vited. The aim is to take advantage
of the presence of those missionaries
detained for time because of the wal
that all may have the inspiration OF
their messages. The list of speaker:
will be given later and will include
names of special interest.

Newspaper DAY.

In the western states several coun.
ties have held a Newspaper Day,
which has proven successful beyond
the expectations Of the promoters.
The plan is simple. The county COM
missioners appoint or set aside a GER
tain day and every citizen Of the
county is requested to mail to one or
more friends or acquaintance in the
east copy of a paper or such other
local reading matter as will be liable
to attract them to the county in which
Newspaper Day Is being held. In or
der to facilitate the plan the nevspa.
pers of the county make a special ef-
fort to run some good sensible booster
stories, that will answer the questions
that an eastern man is sure to ask.
This is a plan that might be carried
out successfully in this county as no
county in the state has so much to Of
fer settlers as Barnes county and a
united effort to spread the news
would bring results in good settlers.

YANKEE DOODLE.

Yankee Doodle a little magazine pub
lished in Indiana and from the pen of
Col. Whitehead, takes the space to ex-
plain the total failure of the prohibit
ton law in N. D. OF course there
will be many readers and most Of
them will take that version Of the az
fair, however, the quicker such men
as Whitehead get that foolish notion
out Of their head, the less ridiculous
they will appear to intelligent people.
Virginia has just gone dry, other
southern states are going to follow at
once and even whiskey ridden Mime
sofa will 90 dry within i've years, a
act that is admitted even by tho brew
cry interests, and it Is rank nonsense
for the brewers or their friends to
make such willfully misleading state
ments. The saloon is dooemd. it is
altogether the fault of the saloon in
terests and no one else. Saloons and
most other evils 60 hand in hand in
and why attempt to circulate
such an utterly false impression.

BELIEVES IN COOPERATION.

Farmers Clubs are good thing.
Comemrcial Clubs are a good thing.
Any organization that tends to bring
people together, and weld them into a
unit for the betterment of a commun-
ity is good thing. Cooperation is a
mighty force for good. Without CO.
operation we can never arrive any
where. We must get together, stick
together, act together. Town and
country, united, can work wonders for
the common good. We are a believer
in organization.

to work until they learn to play. Con

MR.. HYDE RETIRES.

Mr.. L. P. Hyde who has for three
years directed the affairs of the Times
Record Printing Co., offered his resig-
nation at recent meeting Of the
board of directors and will take up
another line of work for time at
least. The family will continue to re-
side in Valley City, where they have
large circle of friends who will be
pelased that the change did not result
in their leaving town. When Mr.. Hyde
took charge of the plant there was
large burden Of debts which has been
very materially reduced, new equip
ment and machinery has been added
and paid for amounting to several
thousand dollars and altogether the
business Is left in very much better
shape than when Mr.. Hyde took
charge.

FRED COLBY DECLARES WAR.

CONSERVATION reigns among the
citizens in the southwest part of the
city. Fred Colby, superintendent of
grounds at State Normal school, has
his fighting clothes on because the
aforesaid citizens have been systema-
tically robbing his gardens and potato
field. Women with baby carriages
and men with sacks on their backs
have been caught red-handed. Some
prominent citizens in that part Of the
city are regarded by the employees of
the Normal school As petty thieves.
Complaints are being made and ar
rests are likely to follow. Already
some have seen Mr.. Colby promising
to be good If prosecution does not fol-
low. Fred is an artist on raising po-
tatoes, some having some that rival
in size and quality the great big baked
potato Of Northern Pacific fame. He
bit his lip and said nothing when
neighbors carried OF his sweet corn
carrots and tomatoes but when the
great big Carmen and Early Ohios be-
gan to walk of by way Of the baby
carriage route and sacks on backs Of
citizenry, he declared war and, from
present appearances, most Of the allies
will be driven clear beyond Paris.

THE Willy TURK.

Since the European war began the
vacillating attitude of Turkey has been
chiefly interesting for its revelation Of
the true inwardness of Turkey as a
nation. The first stand taken by Tur-
key was naively explained by its
talkative diplomat, who said that Tur-
key could not make up its mind just
yet which nation it wanted to go to
war with. The Sublime Porte had
definitely decided that, as war was in
vogue, it wanted to go to war with
somebody too, but wanted to make
sure to pick out the best and safest
enemy.
When it was apparently decided to
take sides against the allies, the Sui
tan received word from London that
if Turkey entered the war it was

MAY BE BLESSING.

The black rust that injured the
wheat this year. undoubtedly did q
very great deal of damage but may
have been Of real benefit to the coun-
try, as it will have a tendency to force
the farmers to diversity. Had the
wheat crop matured this season and
brought forth the yield that was antici.
pated early in the season, there would
have been another stampede to wheat
raising. For several seasons there das
not been a profitable wheat crop, while
corn, oats, hogs, cattle and sheep have
all proven profitable.

RATS BECOMING TROUBLESOME

There Is vast army Of rats now In.

thousands of dollars in damage, as
we'll as being a danger and menace to
the public health. A town in Ohio re.
Gently became 50 overrun with the
pests that one day was set apart to
destroy the rats, and resulted in the
destruction of over 10000 in a few
hours by an organized army Of men
and boys. Perhaps there are not so
many in Valley City as this Ohio town
had but there is a sufficiently large
number so that something ought to
be done toward destroying them, as
they are a pest that has not one single
redeeming feature.

equivalent to signing its death war
rant as European nation, and that
Turkey would be wiped of the map OF
Europe. This information evidently
made the Sublime Porte conclude that
it was not in such a hurry to go to
war as it thought it was.
1.-THE Sick Man of Europe" made up
his mind that perhaps it was better to
remain "sick" than not to exist. But
if he couldn't go to war he could at
least tear up treaties, called "capitu-
lations," now that the European ma
tions were too busy to pay attention
to what he was doing. Turkey might
have abrogated, temporarily at least,
the rights Of foreigners and taken
away their protection from outside at
this time, had it not been for the
United States.
However, the willy Turk is not to be
outdone. If he cannot make up his
mind as to which side he is on, until he
can see clearly which way the cat Is
going to jump, and if he may not be
allowed to tear up treaties, he can at
least show his independence in one re-
specific will not call St.. Petersburg
"Petrogard," and no one is going to
make him do it either.
A dispatch from Odessa reports that
the Government Press Bureau at Con-
stantinople has forbidden the use Of
the word "Petrograd," and orders
Turkish newspapers to call the Rus
sian capital St. Petersburg. The Sui
tan doesn't propose to burden his
memory and the brains Of his subjects
with two sets of names for all foreign
capitals. It is too much of nuisance,
and he, for one, won't put up with it.
