Ignite COAL RATE
GREATLY. REDUCED

Bismarck, Aug. 17.-As the result of
ruling handed down yesterday by the
state railroad commission, Ignite coal
rates, boosted to top notch prices after
the ruling of the United States su-
preme court last spring, were today
cut by big per cent. The old sta
tutory rate from Wilton to Mandan
was Al cents ton, handled over two
railroads. This case is cited as an ex-
ample. When the United States SUI
preme court declared the statutory
rates confiscatory the railroad jump
ed the price of the haul to SO cents
ton. Such is the statement of Pres
ident w. H. Stutsman.
Yesterday the state railroad com.
mission established a new rate of 81
cents, effective September /. Coal
from Lehigh to Mandan, formerly 81
cents a ton under the. statutory rate,
jumped to the old rate of SO cents
However, the railroad company vol
unfairly cut the charge to IS cents.
This was yesterday reduced to 6s
cents. The same sweeping reduc.
tions are in effect all over the state
and will be announced in the decision
which will be published within a few
days.

WATCH OUT FOR FAkERs

North Dakota will this fall be one
of the most attractive fields on the
continent for the legitimate business
man. The people will be we'll supplied
with money, and they will be large
purchasers of everything that goes to
make life worth living. Because of this
condition the state will also be an at
tractive place for the professional
faker. There is no line of legitimate
human endeavor which has not been
perverted to the use of the scoundrel.
: Gold mining is perfectly legitimate
business, and often very profitable
one; but people have been victimized
by so many bogus mining schemes
that it would be very difficult today
! to sell stock in a perfectly sound and
legitimate mining enterprise.
But, while the gold mining swindle
is no longer popular, new swindles are
being invented every year, and some
of the old ones are occasionally reviv-
ed. A few "Dont's" may be useful:
Don't sign papers for or pay any
money to strangers under any pretext.
, Don't invest in enterprises that
promise enormous profits. People are
not giving big profits away.
Don't neglect, when in doubt, to ask
the advice of your local merchant or
banker. These men are experienced.
They will be with you long time.
And it is to their interest to protect
you, for they want to retain your con-
fidence and respect.

the offensive yesterday and succeeded
in doubling the area formerly held by
them. Their comrades to the north

ing of the rivers Liewiec and Krzna,
east of the Siedlce-Lukow front where,
the invaders lost 800 prisoners in ad-.
dition to heavy toll of dead and
wounded. Confidence is felt here.
that the Russians will be able to-.
make any further eastward progress:
of the invaders very costly to the Aus
tro-G German arms.
Fierce battles are looked for in the,
district between the Nurec and Narew,
rivers and also at the crossings of the.
Bug river.
The immediate German objective is;
believed to be the double track rail
road which roughly parallels the pres
ent fighting line, running from Os-
sowetz to Bilaystck, Brest Litouvsk
and Kovel This road is protected by
dense forests, and by marshes in the
region up the Narew river.
The apparent weakness Of the Ger
man TANKS has removed the fear that
the Russian army would be bottled up.
Evidence of this seeming lack of Of
fensive power is found in the report
ed removal of portion Of the German
troops from the Siedlce-D ukow front to !.
the Baltic region. These troops are
said to have been replaced by Aus
trians.
Russian military critics find it diff
cult to reconcile this evidence Of weak

that these claims were advanced for
the effect on the Balkan states. Re-.

SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport
System at the Front as Perfect
as Is Possible.

When it is mentioned that 1000 tons
OF goods-food and other necessities
are sent every day from the base de-
pots to the firing line of the British
army, some idea of the gigantic task
of the army service will be gathered.
This enormous weight of goods, says
Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely
from England, for We are not buying
in France even SO perishable a neces-
sity as milk. Vast stores are brought
from England and loaded into sheds
at the base depots.
All day by motor dory and railway
truck supplies for the troops are sent
out from these base depots to stores
as near as possible to the firing lines.
And Just as reserves are accumulated
in the docks, so reserves are accumu-
lated near the front, since an accident
to the railways might cut off the fight
ing soldiers supplies.
On one occasion there was a delay
on the railways of sc hours, but not
only did the soldier at the front get
all his food and ammunition, but he
did not even have to draw on the re-
serves / have mentioned; regimental
stores were sufficient for his need.
Everything goes by clockwork. There
is no room for an accident.-London

HOGS REQUIRE CLEAN WATER
1t sehooves Every Farmer to Observe
Strictest PERCEPTIONS to Guard
Against Infection.

AS hog cholera and many other dis
eases can be spread by an infected
water supply 1t behooves every farm
er to observe the strictest precau-
tons to protect his hogs against such
sources OF infection. During the hot
summer weather hogs love to wallow
l. the mud and will take advantage of
every opportunity to crafty their de-
sires. But to force them to depend
upon the filthy, stagnant water of a
mudhole to quench their thirst is to
take desperate chances on losing the
hogs. A thimbleful of water from a
hog wollow contains about 100000
germs, so the scientists say. The
farmer who will make hogs take these
germs into their systems should not
b" surprised II they should sicken and
die.
There are few pastures that are
well supplied with clear running
streams that can be depended upon
for stock watering during the summer
months. Even though they are suit.
able during the spring, they dry I'D
when hot weather comes. The safest
and best way is for the farmer to
adopt some other means of providing
his stock with safe water. For hogs.
there are sanitary drinking fountains
upon the market that answer the need
very well. They are comparatively
cheap and are certainly better than
the ordinary trough that must be
filled every time the hogs need a
drink. Most times the ordinary
trough is empty and the hogs do not
get as much water as they need for
their best growth and development.
Some farmers make provision for wa.
tering the hogs when they construct
their concrete tanks for other live
stock and thus solve the problem for
all time.
Whatever method is employed It is
very essential that plentiful supply
Of clean. healthful water be provided
for the hogs. Their life and we'll be.
ing depend upon 1t.
