TO PLANT SIXTY ACRES ..@M
OF LAND TO POTATOES

Devils Lake, May 5.-Convinced by
past success that there is exceptional
money in potato raising, J. A. Strong.
of Devils Lake, is preparing 6O-acre
field which he will devote entirely to
potatoes. To indicate that he means
business he is this week advertising
for 500 bushels of seed potatoes. Mr..
Strong does not attempt to compete
on the early market. He holds the
opinion that it pays just as we'll In
this section to depend on the fall har-
vest of spuds and for that reason has
not rushed his seeding this spring.
Two years ago, in partnership with
C. E. West, Mr.. Strong harvested
5000 bushels of potatoes from "a acres
receiving d top notch price. That was
the largest field Of potatoes ever seen
in the lake region. This year he will
put in 60 acres, while Mr.. West will
plant nearly as much on adjoining
land. Located on the outskirts of the
city of Devils Lake, the immense field
of potatoes will furnish an excel
lent picture of what can be done along
this line of farming where a few
years ago nothing but wheat was seen.

sBoRo TO VOTE ON Il
SCHOOL BONDS MAY II

Hillsboro, May 5.-The Hillsboro
special school district, is to vote on
the bonding question Tuesday, May II.
There seems to be no question as to
the outcome Hillsboro has stood in
dire need Of additional room for five
or six years, but it has seemed impos-
sible before to bring the question to
an issue.
In April Superintendent Almen, with
the assistance of his teachers, planned
and put into effect a visiting week for
the patrons" Personal letters were
sent to all the parents and friends Of
the school, urging them to visit school
sometime during the week. The re-
suits were. most gratifying. Hundreds
of people turned out and the capacity
lof the rooms was taxed to the limit.
Public sentiment in favor Of a new
building was crystalized and the spe.
.cial election Of May II was the re
suit.

BEST LOCATION FOR THE
FARM FLOWER GARDEN

The ideal location for a flower gar
den on the farm is along the edge of
shrub border, against hedge or along
a piece of woods. Flower beds or gar
dens should never be placed conspicu-
ously in the center of the lawn. They
will fit in quite nicely when placed
along the edge of the lawn or to the
rear of the house. Often small cor
ner of the vegetable garden can be
used to excellent advantage. If proper
care is used in the selection of the diff
ferent kinds of flowers-a succession
of bloom con be secured from April
to October, and in a flower garden
that the housewife can conveniently
take care Of .....
Such succession of bloom can be
secured by using bulbs planted in the
fall or the early spring. These can be
followed by someof the hardy peren-
malls as in peonies and phlox, or bed
ding plants such as geraniums that
were grown in the house over winter.
Next after these would come some
of our annual flowers, either started
from seed sown indoors or from seed
sown directly in the garden. To this
group of plants belong asters, pinks.
balsam, marigold, verbenas, candy.
tuft and poppies-all of which will
bloom profusely toward this end Of the
summer, from seed sown at this time
of the year. This large group of an
nual plants gives the greatest amount
of bloom during the late summer and
early fall. use the marigold and Yin
Mas are especially desirable, as they
are more hardy to cold than the other
Iannuals. Hardy chrysanthemums thai
can be planted at this time Of the veal
will bloom very nicely during late
September and most of October.
| The size of the garden and the pla1
will depend upon personal preferences
For convenience in caring Tor tne gar
den it is best to have all flowers 0
about the same season together. 4

London, May ga German official
report issued last today claims vic
tories over the Russians in western
Galicia, and over the British to the
east of Ypres in Flanders. Sir John
French, ommander-in-chief, has ad-
mitted he was compelled to readjust
his lines in the region of Tyres, but
the French say the GERMAN attacks
were repulsed, and that the Germans
suffered severely.
A late report from the British war
Office says the German attacks were
repulsed, although the Germans hay
ing used asphyXiating gases, got a
footing by the use of the fumes on
Hill so, southeast of Ypres. There
has been fighting all along the re-
mainder of the western front, in all Of
which the Germans claim success. The
French story is contradictory. They
insist the advance continues along the
User canal in Flanders and in Woevre
where battles have been continuous
for weeks on end.
The conflicting reports from bellig
erents in the east makes it impossible
to judge Of their pos1tlon there. The
Austrians and Germans tonight say
the Russians have been badly heater
in western Galicia, and have com
menced to retire from the western
Carpathians but the latest Russian re
ports, while admitting the Austro

The American National Bank
Valley City, North Dakota

: Better business, Increased
optimism, and growing in
vestnlent confidence are
the governing factors IN
the commercial and finan-
cial situation today. This
change Of feeling has come
about within the last three
weeks in consequence first,
of the distribution in this
country Of very large or:
ders for army supplies and
munitions Of war, second,
the growing belief that
war will not last another
year, and that peace nego-
tiation may be formally
taken up before long; and,
third, recognition OF the
fact that the banking posi-
ton Of this country is ex'
ceptionally sound, and that
new wealth, in immense
volume, is being created
through frugal living and
practice Of economies, both
public and private, which
a year ago were never
thought Of.
The hardships and un'
certainties Of the past year
have been worth Millions
to the American people in
teaching them the value OF
hard-pan living as the sur.
est way to accumulate new
wealth.
Form the habit of living
within your income and
save a little every month,
and you will have no fear
Of panics or hard times.
Form the habit of de-

GERMANS CLAIM GAINS ON
BOTH LONG BATTLE LINES

larly severe at Gorlice, where the Rus
slams fought stubbornly and for four
hours endured the terrific fire. Dur
ing this time divisions dwindled to
regiments, and regiments to compa-
MES.
The Russian center was so shaken
by the reverses sustained by the two
wings, that it was compelled to aban-
don it's positions. Thousands of pris-
oners were taken in the center as we'll
as on the wings. The victory by
Austro-Germans is considered of es-
pecial Importance because it deprives
the Russians in the Carpathians of
any protection against a fanking
movement.
1t is stated that the situation among
the Russians is growing wors ehourly
as line after line of Germans and Aus.
TRANS push forward despite opposi.
! tion. The Russians age endeavoring
vainly to bring up reinforcements, by
the halt and panicky retreat of their
columns. The list of Russian dead is
extraordinarily large, while the losses
of the Germans are said to be insig
nificant. Russian prisoners say the
battle is more terrible thany anything
experienced previously.
