German Advertisements
We're to Guide Army
.ShecfnL 10 The Tclecrnhh

Paris. Aug. SIT was discovered to-
day that thousands of posters of
"Bouillon Kub, by Ger
man firm. which dotted the French
country just as those of a certain
brand of pickles do the fields along the
railroads in the United States, were in
tended to be of use to an invading
German army by giving information
of a military character through the
varying sizes of the posters and the
colors employed.
For instance, military commander
seeing a square yellow poster would
know that food is aboundant around
he would deduce the fact that "the
ground is mined around here"
Every geometrical figure and all the
plain colors were utilized in this
scheme to give military information
by means of innocent-looking adver-
tisements placed in strategical positions
by German bill posters several months
ago.
Flowers and other decorations and
animal forms were used on the posters.
One of the signs conveying informa-
tion to an invader was a flaring repre-
sentation of the Stars and Stripes.
The Germans will, however. look in
vain for these signal posters The

SALAMANDERS ARE
BENEFICIAL To Us
DR.. Surface Gives Some Informa-
tion About Numerous Amphi-
bans in His Bulletin

State zoologist H. A. Surface has
issued a bulletin in which he demon
strates that the amphibia of Pennsyl-
vania, consisting of nineteen kinds of
salamanders, the mud puppies, the
hellbenders, the nevis, three kinds of
toads and nine kinds of frogs are de-
cidedly benifcial to farmers and to
the people at large. He has put down
the results of years of investigation
and SAYS that analyses of the contents
of 1856 stomachs of "a species of
apmhibians has proved that they de-
stroy snails, grasshoppers, slugs,
moths, Thousand leggers" and such
destructive and annoying pests.
The bulletin contains $50 pages and
gives scientific and ordinary informa-
ton about the various amphibia.
Among the varieties treated are these
salamanders, Giant, blunt nosed,
blotched, spotted, spreckled, tiger,
Jeffersons, robacked, fourtoed Shiny

Liege Was Attacked by
I25,OOO German Soldiers
BY Associatcd Press

Brussels, Aug. s, via London, 6 A. NJ.
The war office has issued an official
statement saying that 125,000 Ger
mans participated in the assault on
the forts at Liege, but that they COM
pletely failed to make any impression
on the fortifications. Three army
corps engaged in the attack was cut
up and rendered useless, it is declared.
For many days" reads the state
ment, our little army by tenacity
and courage rendered highly valuable
service to the French army, which for
some days under forced march has
been hurrying to our assistance and
now occupies q considerable portion
of our territory.
Hundreds of German prisoners
have been captured. These are chiefly
cavalrymen. The spirit of the Ger
man soldiers lacks enthusiasm. They
appear to be fighting lethargically
while their officers endeavored to pass
themselves off as Frenchmen."

Sioux Falls, Nov. 24.-An import.

BY the federal government in the

olates valuable mining land situated
in the Black Hills. The action was
Instituted for the purpose of seeking
to secure tho cancellation of patents
issued In 1908 to the Safe Investment
Gold Mining company.
The government claims that 60
mining claims held by the company
In the national forest reserve in the
Black Ellis are more valuable as
timber land than for mining purpos-
-. The government seeks to cancel
the patents on the ground that no
dtscovery Of mining value has been
made and that the $500 worth of i'm
provements on each claim required

operative Exchange has shown that 1t
can build up a market for grain out
side the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce and Duluth Board OF Trade,
and with adequate terminal elevator
facilities and fair treatment in bank
ing accommodations the volume of
grain handled by the Farmers Co
operative Exchange is expected to in
crease rapidly. This business cleared
through st. Paul would add nightly
to the Sanity City's trade totals and
subtract just that much from the bust
ness of Minneapolis.
Farmers Want Open Market.
The. farmers interested in the CO.
operative marketing movement are de-
termined to C u better terminal
marketing conditions. The recent CO.
operative marketing convention in
Minneapolis took steps to carry or the
fight for an open public grain market
and to reform abuses which they say
have grown up in the grain trade.
Some Of these abuses they propose to
reform by legislation, others by Gre
ating an open board of trade, which
will be established in st. Paul in case
the Equity Cooperative Exchange
moves to that city.
Exchange Entirely Cooperative.
The Farmers Equity Cooperative
Exchange is entirely a cooperative
organization. 1t is owned by farmers.
The men in charge Of the exchange
work OF salary. The profits, over and
above the 8 per cent dividend on CAPT.
tai stock. are shared among patrons
according to the amount of grain
shipped to the exchange.
The movement to establish a farm
ers' cooperative grain exchange in
the terminal markets originated among
Equity farmers in North Dakota, but
the movement rapidly spread to other
states and there are now on the board
of directors of the exchange represen-
tatives Of the principal farmers CO.
operative organizations. Of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana. The exchange has the endorse
ment Of the genuine farmers co
operative organizations of those four
states.
The farmers cooperative terminal
grain marketing movement is the out.
growth Of the farmers cooperative
elevator movement, which established
the farmers elevators as important
factors in the local grain markets at
hundreds of points in the Northwest.
These farmers cooperative elevator
companies are now carrying their CO.
operative marketing of grain into the
terminal markets with the purpose Of
controlling the marketing Of their
grain from the fields to the actual
consumer.
