WITH BARNS
FULL OF STOCK
Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, who left one of the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got a good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is well
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say ! was greatly surprised
when reached Saskatchewan and Al
berta would be expressing it mildly.
In country where so much suffering
was reported, found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all havs
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack of feed, found with their barns
full Of stock. and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 16O acres to two sections of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for a bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is little cold now, but
nothing is frosted, either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing q good
home with a farm and independence
for life in a short time. Before /
started ! heard that prices were SO
high. Flour was reported at s12 per
hundred 1t is $425 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in Mimi. The
only article that l found higher
was kerosene at 35 cts per gallon.
When saw the land / wondered why
people do not live where they pro-
duce enough from the soil to make a.
comfortable living. We visited T. T.

CAMPAIGNS IN THE WEST

The first month and a half OF the
western campaign was made up of
startling, swift moves. On September
IL, after the defeat on the Marne, the
Germans took up defensive positions
along the Aisne river. The ten and a
half months since then have seen a
long deadlock.
The battle line of the Aisne and the
Disc quickly extended northeast TO the
sea. Fighting has been continuous,
with tremendous losses. The general
situation has remained unchanged,
gains Of a few miles for one side at
one point Offset by minor gains for
the enemy in other sectors.
At the beginning of August the
kaiser took possession OF the little
state of Luxembourg and demanded
passage through Belgium to the Fran.

With stronger German forces oppos-

the Carpathian passes, were driven
back everywhere, leaving $4,000 pris-
oners.
With January Hindenburg made a
third desperate attack on Warsaw.
For ten days, both night and day, the
Germans came on. Then, having lost
probably $4,000 men and the Russians
nearly as many, they gave it up.

concentrated twice Siever's force in

FIGHTING
ALONG THE WSTULA
EVEN GERMAN VICTORY WOULD
COST THOUSANDS OF MEN,
PETROGRAp SAYS.
(By Associated Press.)

London. July 6.-Desperate fighting
is raging between the Vistula and the
Bug rivers, along the base of the trt
angle of which Warsaw is the apex.
according to an official dispatch from
Petrograd this afternoon.
The country over which the two
great armies are fighting. is extreme
,ly marshy. 1t is predicted in London
that this campaign will be constant
drain on the resources of the Ger.
mans, until even victory will be
almost as costly as defeat.
The Russian lines along the $50
miles battle front in the Eastern the.
atre. apparently are holding. except
at one point in Southern Poland,
where Archduke Ferdinands army has
broken through.
| In France the Germans continue
pounding at the French lines. but to-
ward the north, the silence which has
prevailed for some time along the
front held by the British, remains un.
broken.
The Italians report satisfactory de-
velopment of their offensive on the
Carnic plateau.

WALLS FALLING At
THE OLD CAPITOL
STONE TUMBLE TO THE
GROUND.

Jackson, Miss, July 6.-With roar
like the explosion of a German Az
centimeter gun, several tons of ma
sonry tumbled from the west wall Of
the old capitol building shortly before
10 o'clock this morning.
The big mass of stone and brick. hit
the earth with an impact that pared
the entire upper business district of
the city, and sent hundreds of per-
sons scurrying from Offices and stores
to see what it was about.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt by the
falling debris. Realizing that the old
structure was very unsafe, the city
commissioners had the north end OF
the building fenced in two weeks ago
and a warning was issued to the pub
lie to keep away from the adjacent
grounds.
Another section of the wall appears
to be in imminent danger of tumbling
down, and Mayor Taylor is consider
ing the advisability of having it push
ed over by the fire department.
Since the first of the year the build
ing has deteriorated so rapidly tha
it is now beyond all possibility of re
pair unless the walls are rebuilt from
the ground up.

The $1,000 bond on which w. d..
Smith, alleged embezzler, formerly a
1attiesburg real estate and insurance
agent, was released more than a week
ago, was sufficiently large to cover
all the charges now pending against
him: if Smith left the Forrest coun-
ty Jail after his release, in a closed
carriage, he either provided the We
hicle himself, or some friend did, as
no one connected with the sheriff's
office was responsible; and no aft
davits had been presented to the sher
ifs office prior to Smiths release, by
any one, with the request that they
be served on the prisoner before he
was admitted to bail.
These are the points made today b!

Washington, D. c., July g.
Secretary of State Lansing stated
today that dispatch had been re-
ceived from American Amhasss-
dor Gerard in Berlin giving IN
formally the views of the German
government on submarine var
fare In response to the two nosss
sent by this government to the
Kaiser. This government, how
ever, has not yet replied to this.
While declining to DivuIge the
contents of the dispatch, Mr.. Lam
sing let it be known that the pro-
posals it contained were similar
to those already discussed in the
press dispatches from Berlin, Indi-
eating a desire to clarity the sit
uation before making a formal
answer.
The German governments ef-
forts to learn informally what
proposals would be acceptable as
a basis for negotiations, created
the impression here that discus
sion between the two govern
ments would eventually result in
an amicabIe agreement.
