A timber stealing case up in the
north country resulted in acquittal.
Much depends on the way commun;
ity looks at the case. Taking Of tim
her belonging to the state or to some
outsider has been sometimes consider
ed very trivial offense and convic-
tions were few and far between. A
jury is not going to convict man
for doing something the members of
the jury might themselves have done,
and in so doing not feel they were do
ing wrong. AS the community grows
in civilization-and the timber has
gone-different ideas take place of
the old. Then, too, it is known that
the big thieves have generally escap-
ed, and one might not feel like blam-
ing a jury when it acquits a man who,
comparatively speaking, has stolen a
loaf while someone else made away
with a carload Of -four.

SHORTAGE: IN SEED
; WHEAT SUPPLY FOR
| NEXT YEAR FEARED

Minneapolis, Sept. 2S. - Minnesota
iened with a serious shortage i'm the
seed wheat supply for next years SOW
ing. Hugh J. Hughes, editor of Farm
Stock and Home, is sounding the
alarm after all Investigation of the
quantity Of this seasons wheat crop
and authorities at the Universitys
agricultural college are taking stepf
to marshal all their agencies to hell
the farmers meet the situation.
Poor. quality Of the bulk of this sea-
sons crop, the low terminating poWe2
;of much Of the seed and the shrivelee
character of much other seed tina!
shows good terminating power are as
signed as the chief factors in the seee
problem.
Urge Farmers to Test Wheat.
A. campaign has been begun to urge
the farmers of the three states to ties!
all wheat being held for seed and te
make sure that enough is held to care
for next springs sowing.
docs anyone know where the seed
wheat for 1917 is to come fron?" Mr.
Hughes asked Here is the situation
as it is developing. The Minnesota
grain inspection department, which
passes on all grain received in the
Twin Cities and Duluth, reported, fol
the period September 1T, inclusive
receipts of 3,140 cars of spring wheat
grading No. 3 and below, and Oil cars
of No. 2 or better. These Oil cars rar
thus: 446, No. 2 northern; 1898, No..
northern, and 81, No. hard. At the
other end of the line 1926 cars grad
ed No. 4 northern.
About 20 Per Cent Desirable.
CAS- shown by we'll mixed samples.
wheat grading less than No. 2 north,
ern is badly shrunken and not desir.
able for seed purposes. Indications
are that probably 80 per cent of the
spring wheat crop of the three states
is outside the seed wheat class and
that only about 20 per cent of it is de-
sirable for seed.
IF the usual spring wheat acreage
in the three states is sown in 1917, not
less than 100000 bushels will be
needed. I have figured out after
study of the situation that we shall
come 100000 bushels short of having
enough good wheat in this seasons
crop to give us our seed for next year."

GIGANTIC WEDGE
DRIVEN BY ALLIES
INTO GERMAN LINE

London, Sept. 28-The 2O-mile bat
tie arc running from the Ancre river
to the Somme is rapidly being trans
formed by the great offensive of the
Allies into an irregular triangular
wedge in the German line with the
bases respectively in front of Thiepval
and west of Peronne and the point pro-
jecting across the Bethune road and
into the St. Pierre Vast wood.
On the British end OF the line the
region of Thiepval and eastward to
the northward of Flers the British
gained further successes over the
Germans and likewise the French east
and southeast Of Rancourt drove their
troops forward and entered the St.
Pierre WAIST wood.
Beat OFF German Attack.
To the south of this region from
Bouchavesnes to the southern edge of
the Bots Liable farm the French were
compelled to face a violent attack by
the Germans, which was beaten off,
the Germans being thrown back in
disorder, according to Paris.
The British gains included German
trenches on front of more than a
mile north of Flers and a strong re-
doubt on hill about mile northeast
Of Thiepval. To the northwest, across
the Ancre, successful raids were car
ried out by the British opposite Beau
mont-Hamel.
British Take 10000 Prisoners.
Ten thousand prisoners have fallen
into the hands of the British in the
last fortnight's fighting on the Somme
front, according to London.
There still is little news coming
from the Russian and Austro- German
war offices concerning the fighting on
the eastern front. Petrograd asserts
that aside from skirmishes at various
points there is nothing to report Der.
lin, however, records the repulse of a
Russian attack in Galicia near Ludo.

Little Falls ought to make an at
tempt next year to get the state con-
ference of charities and corrections to
meet here in 1918. This gathering, of
which the association of county COM
missioners constitutes an important
part, considers and discusses live So
cial questions, and it's meetings are a
source of information and education
to all who attend. A stimulus toward
social betterment in one phase or an
other is the special service the con-
ference renders to the towns where
it meets. The conference will meet in
Owatonna next year.

pleasing to his many friends. Mr.. Don
ohue's straightforwardness and the i'm
preston he makes everywhere as a man
big enough for the job, are assets Of
the greatest value. There is no reason
why he should not receive the support
of men of all parties, since his fitness
to represent the Sixth district is gen.
orally conceded. He knows and un-
derstands the wants of this important
district, and would be con the job, -
all the time.

Todd County Argus (Rep.): One OF

Melrose for seat in congress. Dono-
hue is highly spoken of everywhere,
and will poll heavy vote. All that
Knutson has to do to win, however, is
to poll the normal republican vote of
the district, and we note that our re-
publican exchanges are predicting he
will do it.

Steele County Citizen: The Olmstead
County Democrat, one Of the old pa
ners of southern Minnesota will dis
continue publication after next week:
The reason assigned is that the cost OF
everything entering the makeup Of a
paper is 50 outrageously high that the
paper can no longer be conducted with
profit. These are surely perilous times
for newspapers, and their friends and
subscribers should come to their rescue
by prompt payment of subscriptions
due. IF this could be done many an
editorial heart-ache might be saved.

If the democratic party were to fol-
low the example now being given by
the opposition, in the future it would
be the proper thing not to be united
on matters of foreign policy, but to
attack the administration. During the
Mckinley and Roosevelt administra'
tions the democrats treated the admin
istrations fairly. Policies ended at
the waters edge. Now all the tradi-
tions are ignored because of the ex'
igencies of campaign.
