cording to dispatch received in AM

which was issued from the main head
quarters OF the German army, the EN-
peror says

And it cannot be said that the i'm

May Jesus in His pity, by the inter-

May the people decide henccforth to

r Nobody questions the fact that with
the capture OF Warsaw the Germans
will score victory which will not only
put the Russians on the defensive for
many months. perhaps we'll into next
year. but which will greatly heartcn
tho civilian population of the central
powers. and release an army OF 1,ooo.-
900 or more men for an offensive in
the west.
Warsaw's 500. 900 inhabitants, laden
with such household articles and sup
plies of food as they can carry, are flee
ing the city toward the east, and every
dispatch from Russia makes guarded
reference. though quite colorlessly. to
some phase of the evacuation of the
city.
Ohctal announcement Of it's abandon
ment. which even now may be n fact,
has not been Forthcoming, however, al
though the slender hope of the entente
allied countries that the Germans
might be held OH the threshold, is dis
sipated, and military writers are con-
timing themselves to debating Grand
Duke Nicholas's chances of eXtricating
his armies from the hard pinched
triangle without disaster
PROBLEM FOR RUSSIANS
BECOMES MORE ACUTE
Besides the capture of Lublin and
the seizure of the railway, the German
forces have crossed the Nistula River
between Warsaw and IvRuEorod. and
the problem for the Russians TO hold
their wings north and south of War
saw while the center retircs becomes
more acute.
1t was argued that the conduct of
this retreat without great loss would
entail the necessity of the Lublin-
Chelm front holding firm. Now that it
is broken, quick action on the part of
the Russians becomes Imperative as
also does the stemminE of the increas-
ing German forces driving from Kovno
and Suwalki toward wilma. the capture
of which would cause the northern line
to retreat.
With these developments, Great Brit
ain Is greatly concerned. Some sec
tions of the newspapers are seizing the
opportunity 10 emphasize RussIa's task,
and press for CONSUMPTION here as the
best proof to give Russia that the west

exerting all the pressure possible in
the west.

special dispatches reaching London,

initiated some movement in France or
In Belgium 10 relieve the strain on
Russia
With events shaped rs they now are.
1t is realized here that Russia has lost
the initiative for the remainder of the
summer, which will enable the central
powers to strike hard at either France,

Austrian prisoners in the Sokal region.

With corn at 70 cents bushel, al
falfa hay at $40 ton, and tankage at
$3.50 hundred weight, a ration of al
falfa hay and corn proved most profit
able in recent test with fattening
pigs carried on at the International
Harvester Co. experiment station at
Grand Forks. The pigs were fed OIL
falfa hay and corn. However in cost
of gains the pigs fed corn and alfalfa
made much better showing than did
the tankage rations. The test showed
that it does not pay to grind corn for
pigs. Pigs fed ground corn made the
least and most expensive gains of any
pigs, in the test. Where ground corn
and alfalfa hay ration was used, the
cost Of 100 pounds gain was nearly
$500 more than the cost of 100
pounds gain where dry shelled corn
and alfalfa hay was used.

NO FOUNDATION
FOR RUM0RS OF
S0O'S CHANGES
New Afternoon Train for the
Twin Cities Contemplated,
However, Will Be Very
Convenient Out Here.

Joseph Belanger, superintendent of
the 500 railway at Minot, has emphat-
ically denied the authenticity of re-
port to the effect that elaborate chang
es would go into effect April 1.
Mr.. Belanger stated that some
changes would 60 into effect later,
probably May 8, pending the decision
of the Canadian Pacific railway which
will have to cooperate with the 500
in making the changes.
He denied the statement that the
Bismarck train now running from Bis
marck to Minot would make the run
between Kenmare and Bismarck when
the new schedule goes into effect.
Such a train would give a needed ad-
ditional passenger service from Ken
mare and would greatly benefit all the
towns along the line, however.
One Of the most important changes
which may be actually made depend
ing on the c. P. r. decision, accord
ing to Mr.. Belanger, will be the ex-
tension of the White TrailFlaxton
branch to Minot.
Another important and likely change
will be the starting from Minot OF an
afternoon train, which will leave there
between 4 and o'clock in the after
noon east to the twin cities. The
fact that there is no afternoon train
going east has always been source
Of discomfort and displeasure to trav-
elers and change along that line

SOME INFORMATION ON

North Dakota gardening needs a
boots Too many farmers are living
out OF tin cans that are shipped into
North Dakota. In order to furnish in
formation on gardening the North Da-
kota experiment station has just pub
lished circular No. S, which is a COM
plete garneding manual for North Da-
kota, written to meet North Dakota
conditions. 1t takes up every veget-
able in detail, telling it's soil and eli
matte requirements, how and when
to plant, best varieties, uses and so on.
The vegetables included in this list
are beans, beets, brussels sprouts, cab
bage, carrots, caulifower, celery,
celeriac, chard, cucumbers, muskmel-
ons, onions, parsley, parsnips, peas,
peppers, radishes, rhubarb, rutabagas,
satisfy, spinach and squash and tur.
nips. General discussions are also
given on such subjects as hotbeds,
transplanting, and the other things
necessary in making a successful gar.
! den.
A plan is given whereby the work
can be reduced to minimum. This
should prove a most valuable circular
for farmers an dteachers, as it is the
first publication to give so much de-
tail on gardening under North Dago
ia conditions. The garden should be
made to furnish fresh vegetables
throughout the growing season and q
surplus for storage and canning fol
winter use. This circular furnishes the
information necessary for doing this

Preserve for Future Gener-

The landmarks committee of the
State Federation Of Women's clubs
has made special plea of conserva>
tiOn Our state is as yet without a
written history. The story of her ear
ly days lies all ungarnered in the files
of old papers, in scattered documents,
and in old letters. Much of it, never
consigned to writing in any form ex.
lists only in the minds of men, terri
torial citizens, pioneers, early settlers
men already old and idm of mem.
ory Many articles, too, documents
and remembrances of bygone days
things of historic value which should
be in the public archives are still held
carelessly in private ownership.
1t should be the business of the Wo
mems clubs to preserve these things
as heritage Of the state. In order ia
stimulate this work of preservation
the landmarks committee offers two
prizes of IS each.
The first will 60 to the club offering
the best original paper on some phase
of North Dakota history. The sub
ject may be an interview of an ole
settler, a biography of one Of NORTH
Dakota's early-day public men or wo
men, history of a pioneer move1nen,
or event, the early history of some
North Dakota town, village or county
or any kindred subject.
The other prize is offered for the
best collection of North Dakota his
torical documents or articles. These
may be composed Of original papers
letters, diaries, Indian relics, or oh
jects of historic interest Of whatever
sort.
