Lord Kitchner, the head of the
British army, is six feet four and every
inch soldier. He is regarded as the
man of the hour in England today. He
is directing the movement of his
troops from London and will send 1885,
600 troops to the front every three
months. Lord Kitchner is an inter-
esting person. He is a bachelor and
wants only single men on his staff. He
is as silent as our own Grant was and
just as determined. The following
story is told Of Kitchner, which is
said to have happened during an en-
gagement in Egypt. The enemy had
been striking as tho they were direct
ed by someone versed in modern war;
fare. Among a number Of the enemy
who were captured was an Englishman
dressed like a native. The man was
brot before Kitchner, who motioned
his guard to leave the room. Kitchner
was soon seen to leave the room fol
lowed by the Englishman, who was
none other than his own brother. They
walked into the jungle. But one man
returned and that was Kitchner. What
happened to the brother will never be
known.

HAS BEEN FOUND.
Double Identification Of Corpse at vii

Double Identification of Corpse at vii
liston Disposed Of by Discovery.
Williston, N. D., Aug. 29.-Develop-
ments made public today indicate that
both Carl Radintz Of Minneapolis and
Henry Sexse, Mckenzie county home
steader, were both murder victims.
"A second corpse, just found in g
deep ravine in Mckenzie county, near
Sexse's homestead, has been positive
ly identified as being his body, and s.
A. Burns, who faces a murder charge,
must still fight such accusation, tho q
different corpse is brought forward as
his victim.
Carl Radintz Of Minneapolis was
shot and thrown into the Missouri riv-
Ter, probably at Mondak, Mont. His
body, recovered some time ago from
the river, was first identified as that
|of Sexse. s751 5a
Sexse, it is known, was killed BY
blows over the head, his skull being
crushed in, while his jaw had been
shattered BY blows.
Burns is accused Of numbering
Sexse in order to obtain possession Of
the latter's land. Burns displayed q
deed, running from Sexse to himself
supposedly given previous to Sexse's
alleged departure for Canada.

This has been the best corn year in
the history of North Dakota. Nearly
every farmer has grown some corn
and many have large fields. Near Gar
rison the writer saw one field of 1853
acres grown by John Reuter-, an old
time rancher. Now is the time to be-
gin selecting your seed After the
first frost it is safe to begin gathering
seed. Don't be in too big hurry and
be careful to save only the very best.
This is important. Breed up your seed
corn the same as you would cattle or
hoes. Place the corn in good dry
place so that it will become thoroiy
dry before the weather becomes cold.
Many hang the ears from strings OF
place them on driving racks where the
air circulates freely. But whatever
you do, don't get so busy with your
other work that you fail to select seed
corn. It is said that one can increase
his corn yield five bushels per acre by
planting homegrown seed as COM
pared with that secured from else
where. We are going to make North
Dakota noted as corn state yet.

United States ships sailing the high
seas and flying the stars and stripes
were stopped by British war vessels
and Germans and Austrian reservists
bound for their mother countries to
engage in war were taken of. If Eng
land should by chance take an Ameri-
can citizen, trouble might arise. There
are many ways in which this country
might become involved. President Viii
son is doing his utmost to keep this
country from becoming engaged in a
senseless struggle. What are they all
scrapping over, anyway?

Hundreds of former American farm
ers who have sworn their allegiance
to King George in order to get Can
adam homestead, are now wishing
they were back to the good old states.
In fact good many are coming back
as fast as they can close up their af-
fairs. Canada has called for $4,000
volunteers for service in the European
war. If the conflict keeps up, it is
possible that she will order large
bodies of men to the front and her
homesteaders will be included.

1t is a shame and sin but it is a
fact that some people spend more on
their pleasures than for any good
cause. More for gum than for foreign
missions. More for hats than for the
gospel. Thousands for an automobile
but not dollar for charity. How
many Of these young chaps who squan-
der dollars every week for cigars give
a nickle to church? So the world
goes. The thrifty must keep the city
respectable.

It may not be generally understood
but the best dish now is peaches with
cream and sugar. Select those that
are soft, and slice. Nothing more
grateful for lunch or tea with bread
and butter. No doubt half Of the
cases of appendicitis are caused by
examining the system with strong food
fit for December. Give the children
fruit, not meat and pastry, melons,
bananas, plums, peaches. Drink plen-
ty of water.

The Canadian government is doing
the right thing by its subjects who
have been reduced to poverty by the
drouth. With nothing to sell, nothing
to feed their stock, the government has
come to their rescue by offering each
farmer an opportunity to earn a hum
dred dollars by working on the public
highways. Canada has produced good
crops and will do so again, but in the
meantime, those who are compelled
to remain must live.

This war seems to make trouble
everywhere. Besides the horrible loss
of life, what about the Paris fashions?
Some idiots really believe that no

We knew a thrifty man east who wore;

he was highly respected. Let US, until

The European war is sure some
good price litter. Right and left come
notices Of withdrawal Of former prices
and notices Of raises soon to come. A
person is almost convinced that Uncle
Sam does not produce a single thing
and that we have to depend on foreign
countries for all materials entering
into our manufactured products. It
is fine opportunity for boosting
prices and blaming the other fellow
for it.

THE AIRSHIP ATTACK ON ANT
WERP,

Chicago Herald: The Belgian gov
eminent, through it's ministers to the
United States and other neutral pow
ers, has formally protested against the
German airship attacks upon Antwerp,
o. gross violation of article rs of the
fourth Hague convention of 1907, con-
corning claws and Usages Of War"
The article reads:
The commander of the attack
ing troops, before undertaking
bombardment, will, except in cases
of open assault, do all that lies
in his power to give warning to
the authorities.
Article Is forbids bombardment "by
any means whatsoever of towns which
are not defended" OF course Ant
werp is defended" though it has not
yet been attacked, except from the air.
No German force has appeared before
it with summons to surrender.
It is denied in Antwerp that any
sort of warning of the intended at
tack was given. AS both Of the at
tacks have been made under the cover
Of darkness they can hardly be de-
scribed as "open assault" Noncom-
batants of whom a number are re-
ported killed, were given no oppor-
tunity of escape.
BY their opponents the German
powers are widely accused of wan
ton disregard for treaty engagements.
Unless the Germans are careful that
charge will be credited. The airship
assault on Antwerp speaks for itself.
Can the German powers afford to ex-
cite more enmity that that with which
they are already contending?

AS our country grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
ent dollar thrust themselves upon the
man who handles the soil. and to the
thinking men of the south, soil con-
servation stands in a class by itself
as our most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
increasing proportion of cur thought.
The crop that is Indigenous TO a
country is not always the crop that
continues TO be held in the highest es-
tecm by the leading thinking men Of
that section. Fer instance, in tze
finest blue grass gcsticn OF Indiana /
know q leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is di:carding blue grass
very largely for timothy, herds grass
and saplinS clover as pasture crops.
because Of the gp,2tCr amount Of
feed the new pasture crops are pro-
Gucing SO while the grass has not
been much in evidence upon the farms
over much OF the south up TO this
time the change Of sentiment that is
everywhere present among our poo-
pie regarding the care of the soil leads
us to believe that the matter will be
tried out in large way during the
next ten years.
