Story OF a Man Who Was Max
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the ST Paul Farm.
er's Dispatch contained q very inter
esting account of the experiences of a
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head.
way, he decided to look up a home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount.
ing his experiences of few years. In
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable.
with small amount OF capital, he
continues the story by stating that
In the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, complete set Of
farm machinery including two wagons
and Swell top buggy and eleven
head Of cattle, He continues, How
ever, was not satisfied. had been
reading OF the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and I thought It
would get cheaper, so began to think
that homesteading as a moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as a matter
of fact l had sold pork for IA cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
in groceries and more, we had now
four mich COWS, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had cream
separator, and some hogs. We had a
quarter section OF land that could
raise an abundance Of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but I could
not see all that; I had the moving
fever, and decided to SELL
l set the price on the land at $4,000
cash. l could not find anyone with
that much money, however. so came
down until l finally sold for $1,4O0.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth The nipple
ments sold for hardly one-thtrd OF
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have homestead In Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
Of our fields. We have about $500
worth Of honest debts.
True we have a half section in
place Of a quarter, but that is no good
to US, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work 1t.
In summarizing 1t all up see where
l made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as we were before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplat-.
ing change Of location Is to think
twice before you act, and If your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,
stay by your bush till you pick IL
clean advertisement.

FIGHTING ON The SEA

At the end of the first year
of war not a German fighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea- The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
fleet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth of German shipping
lies idle in the docks of New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
; the following is a fairly accu-
date summary of the number
of craft which have been de-
stroyed:

ing the strategy of surprise in war
Only on the Russian front, where
rior, has 1t been possible to carry out
great surprise tactics.
The aeroplane has also been invalu-
able in the trench warfare in hunting
out the positions of men and guns.
Destructive raids have been made
also. Points of concentration behind
the lines of the enemy. railroad sta
tons, trains, supply and ammunition
depots, and airship hangers have been
the target of bombs that have wrought

ufactories, causing slight damage
After two other scares the big craft
did reach London on the night of
May 81. 1t is known they were near
the Woolwich arsenal and unofficial
reports have it that they set great
docks afire.
After this raid the British censors
determined that no news of the locali
ties and details of this or subsequent
air expeditions would be given out
on the ground that they did not wish
to give information to the Germans
that might aid in future ventures.

nous captures of Russians were made
and the fortress of Gradno was at
tackled farther west, from Ossowetz
to Pultusk. The Germans retreated
to Mlawa and then tried to flank the
Russians at PrZasnysz, which city
they took. But the Russians again
hanked the fianking party, as they had
done at LODI and won an important
success February 22-28).
In March and April, the Russians
pressed through the western Carpa-
THAN passes and entered Hungary.
Just when their future seemed bright
est, the Germans broke the Russian
line in West Galicia and let through
enormous forces.
Pressing westward irresistibly, they
took the Russian Carpathian armies in
the rear. The latter tried to retreat,
but vast numbers were captured.
Przemysl which had succumbed to
the Russian besiegers March %, fell
again into the hands of the Austro-
Germans.
Great German Maneuver.
From Przemysl Won Mackensen
drove east through Mosciska and
Grodek and captured Lemberg, the
Galician capital. Then he turned
north and marched upon the Warsaw
Ivangorod -Brest Litovsk triangle
from the south.
At the same time the Russians in
southern Galicia, putting up desper-
ate resistance, were driven by Won
Linsingen first to the line of the
Dniester and then across the Gnila-
Lipa to the line of the Zlota-Lipa.
Reaching the vicinity of Krasnik

south, the Austrians sustained a Sc

The Germans now began the grand

of human warfare. :.
From the Windau river in the Bal
