TAKES BULLETS FORM
.z.' f BODIES BY MAGNETS

Paris. March 23-French science
has again come to the aid of the
wounded in the present war. Bull
lets and shrapnel fragments deeply
imbedded in the flesh can now be
extracted without the deep probing
and incisions formerly necessary.
The new method of bringing these
projectiles to the surface of the flesh
by electric magnets, has just been pre-
scented to the academy of medicine by
Professor Bergonie, the discoverer. AS
practically all bullets and shrapnels
used in modern warfare are of steel,
they are capable Of being magnetized
and are subject to magnetic influence.
Professor Bergonie simply applies
to the outside of the wound a highly
potential magnet current. This sui
fees to dislodge the projectile from
the flesh and bring it gradually towards
the surface. To prevent any further
tearing of the flesh the current is ap
piled only a few seconds each day and
the projectile is drawn so gradually
towards the surface as to cause Meth.
er irritation nor pain. Finally only a
slight superficial incision of the sur
geon's knife is necessary for the final
extraction.

WESTERN FRONT IS
WAITING ON EAST

London, March 26.-Comparative in
activity along the whole western front
indicates that both armies are await
ing the turn of events in the Carpa-
thians before attempting to strike a
hard blow.
The British are still resting on their
victory at Neuve Chapelle, which cost
them near as many men as it did the
Germans; but the Germans are mass
ing troops for a fresh offensive.
Incredulity is expressed that the fall
of Przemysl will exert an Immediate
influence on the warfare in the Car
pathians. Germany is declared to be
sending vast reinforcements into the
Carpathians, and it is deemed not il
logical to conclude that this fighting at
the gateway of Hungary is having, and
will continue to have, a marked infiu-
ence on the German campaign in the
east and west.
Rumors of the approaching inter-
vention of Italy, with assertions that
the Austro-Germa troops are mass.
ing along the Italian border, continue
to be prominently printed but the
foundation of them is uncertain.
The situation at the Dardanelles is
unchanged. Rumors come from the
allied sources that German officers are
leaving Constantinople, and that the
situation in the Ottoman capital is
gloomy; but there is nothing official
that the Turks are discouraged over
the outlook.
Dutch newspaper editorials are
strong in their protests against the
sinking of the Dutch steamer Medea,
off Beachy Head by German subma-
rine. A Hague dispatch says the
cabinet in council today considered
the question of damage being done
Dutch shipping. The Dutch govern
ment has already sent a protest to

aeroplane on the Dutch steamer Zev-

MUST TELL It ALL
TO The ASSESSOR

During the month of April the as
SCISSOR will call upon the taxpayers,
and this is the year in which he gath
ers the statistics which are tabulated
and reported to the governor. They
constitute the official statistics of the
state and receive the widest possible
publicity that the state government
can give them.
1t is of vital Importance to the
farmers that he understands this prop
osition, for instead of these figures
working against him, they are his
only protection against the Spectator
who arranges his figures to suit him
self, and which might work against
the farmer If the farmers figures
prove inaccurate and unreliable, then
his cause and the cause of the county
in which he lives, and in fact the en-
tire state, suffers by comparison in
the estimation of everyone who is
seeking knowledge or NOrth DaKOta,
her products and resources.
Commissioner Flint, of the agricnl-
tural department, is guarding the in
terests of both the farmer and the
state, and is out with the request that
all farmers, for their own good if
nothing more, get as near to the exact
figures as possible when the assessor
calls.
The same applies to those in the cit
les and villages who are engaged in
manufacturing and other enterprises,
in that they should make as good a
showing as possible, as every item Of
progress is recommendation for the
state. Everything showing industry
should be represented in the statistics.

Three Cuttings Of Alfalfa.
"Our alfalfa has been giving us three
cuttings per year, where cut for hay
and one field has been established for
about ten years, and seems as produc-
tive as ever. Last summer the road
was widened along this old field and
the grader unearthed some of the al
falfa roots. Such roots--they are as
big as parsnips, and no one knows how
far down they go. We are sowing a
new piece every year now, usually put
ting it on potato land which has been
MANFRED and plowed very deep. In
cidentally, the deep blowing seems to
agree with the potato crop also.
with corn and clover, alfalfa and
silage, it's not necessary to say much
about livestock. Such farmers who
have lived farther south think we can
not feed and raise livestock prof1tably
here, because, they say, the winters
are longer, and therefore it costs more
to keep the stock through the season.
Well, one of our most widely known
North Dakota products is advertised
under the head line, Costs little
more-worth more And if North Da.
ota livestock costs little more it is
surely worth it. Anyone who has
compared our fine, heavy steers, top
notch hogs, big-boned, well muscled
horses, and square blocky sheep with
the average southwestern product will
testify to it. The owner of big ranch
in the southwest was the first to call
my attention to this. He said, We
produce quality; GU winters enable us
to carry our stock through little
cheaper than you can, but it doesn't
have the strength of the north This
remark has led to a good deal of think
ing on my part, and believe there is
much more truth in the statement
than is generally known.
$50 from a standpoint of nearly 80
years. experience and observation in
North Dakota I am satisfied that we
have a combination of soil and climate
which makes almost ideal conditions
for diversified farming as it has in the
past made the most productive grain
fields in the west.
"Surely it is no time for discourage
ment for North Dakota farmers. Rath-
er it is a time for active effort and
intelligent progress, to enable us to
somewhere near keep up to our great
opportunities.

Traded Good North Dakota
Farm For Virginia Land
He Had Never Seen-Court
Helped Him Out.

Fargo, March 23.-That buying Vir-
ginia farm land sight, unseen" is not
as safe a proposition as the glib land
agent would have it appear, is now
quite apparent to w. E. Shellman of
Luverne, N. D. Shellman had $40
acres of farm land in Nelson county
this state on which he owed about $13,
900 and which he desired to turn into
cash. Being in hurry to make the
deal Shellman communicated with
land man in Decatur, ILL.,, in answer
to an ad he had seen in a Chicago
paper.
This land agent, his name is J. l..
CLOSER, by the way, promised to get
a purchaser for Shellman's North Dar
kota land and the farm was listed with
CLOSER for SALE, Shortly after this
land had been listed, Schellman was
notified that there was a splendid OPP
portunity to trade off his land for
600 acre farm in Virginia. This land
CLOSER declared was worth at least
$40 per acre, and he guaranteed that
he could turn this land into cash with
in 80 days aftcr the deal had been
closed. ~.
Shellman bit. In the early part Of
last June he went to Chicago and the
deal was made there, without inspe1-
ton, deeds being exchanged for the
two parcels of land. BY the way, there
was a $4,000 mortgage against the
Virginia farm, represented to be ono
of the most desirable land tracts in
the whole state at the price.
After Shellman had returned to Ln-
verne, he became suspicious and en-
gagged firm of lawyers in st. Paul
TO look into the deal. The result was
that Shellman's suspicious were amply
confirmed, the attorneys report being
that the Virginia land was not worth
more than $40 an acre on the outside.
Whereupon he acted promptly, his at
torneys getting out an order Of lis
pendens against any further transfers
of his land.
In the original transaction Shell
mans land was transferred to one N.Y.
ron H. Brown of Decatur, Ill. When
the lis pendens was filed at the Da-
kota court house it was found that
Shellman's land had been sold again.
this time to one w. P. Montgomery
| of Decatur, Ill. AS the taxes on the
Nelson county land had not been paid.
neither Shellman's nor Browns deeds
had been put on record and the Lis
pendens was effective.
Shellman then brought suit against
Brown and Montgomery for cancella-
ton of the deeds and a reconveyance
of his land. Montgomery put up the
defense that he was a third and disin-
terested purchaser. Judge Pollock
however, held that defense was not
valid, declared the transaction fraud
ulent and ordered the reconveyance Of
the North Dakota land to Shellman.
This order of the court was handed
down yesterday.
