CUT WORMS

Cut worms eat off the young plants
at the surface of the ground, and they
do this at night. In the day time they
can usually be found buried an inch
deep and only a short distance from
the last plant eaten. Plants that are
transplanted can be protected by
wrapping paper around the stem COW
ering it half and inch above and be.
low the surface Of the soil. The cut
worms can be poisoned with the fol.

You don't need to wear a uniform

BRIEF LIFE SKETCH

!. Joseph George Henry Denley was
born May Is, 1874, in Grantham,
Lincolnshire, England, and died
Nov. rs, 1917, in Bemidji, Mimi.
He came to America with his parents
when he. was a lad four years old,
and resided in Wadena, MIMI, for a
number of years. Then his father,
who was aR%Episcopalian clergyman,
called to~do the work of a mission
airy among.the Indians, took up a
homestead lin Hubbard county.
AS a boy in Hubbard county,
George, as he was known, became
closely acquainted with the J. c.:
Courtney family and as a result OF
that acquaintance he married Belle
Courtney. They were married four
teen years ago. Ten years ago last
August Mr.. Denley came to Bemidji
with his wife and little son, Merton.
For five years he served on the city
police force and during the last five
years he had served as deputy un-
der Sheriff Andrew Johnson.
He leaves to mourn his death a
wife and one child, Merton, age ~,
. a father and mother who reside at
Dorset, Mimi, and brother, Thomas
"A. of Bemidji, and two sisters, Mrs.
James Mckenzie of Sharon, N. D.,
and Mrs. Mary Hagan Of Larado,
Mont.
Mr.. Denley was a man Of most ex-
cellent character. He was a faith
full and fearless officer. He was
a dutiful son, a loving husband and
a kind and affectionate father. He
was appreciative of every kindness
shown him or his. He was charit-
able and sympathetic towards those
less fortunate, and though quiet and
unassuming, he was of genial and
sunny disposition.
He was a member of the B. P. 0.
E. and the I. o. O. F. lodges. In
childhood he was confirmed in the
Episcopal church though in later
years he attended the services Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. His
faith was a living faith and found
it's expression in clean life and
devotion to duty.

I. Representative Tinkham fired the
shot by invitation of the colonel in
command near Dona di Piave. The
shell was sent on its journey during a
heavy artillery fire along the Piave
and the northern front. The lombard
ment was especially concentrated
back of Mount Grappa, between the
Piave and Brenta rivers. This may be
an indication of another drive on the
Italian lines from that direction.
There has been no break in the in
fantry inactivity on the western and
Italian fronts. The artillery on both
sides has been active alongNthe greater
part of the two fronts and on the
western front the allied and German
airmen have engaged in lively COM
bats. German reinforcements con-
tinue to be sent westward, but there
is no sign of when and where the ex.
pected blow will fall. Heavy lombard
ments by the big guns generally sig
nifty approaching fighting activity, and
the impression prevails in allied capi-
tails that the Germans will make su-
preme effort before very long.
The enemy has resumed the attack.
Today's official statement says that
the Italians resisted stubbornly yes
terday throughout the Gay and that a
few positions which were abandoned
in the beginning of the fighting were
reoccupied in nearly all cases. In the
evening the enemy effort was reduced
to the normal artillery fire.
Austrian Warship Sunk.
The Austrian battleship Wien has
been torpedoed and sunk. According
to Vienna, most of its crew was saved.
The vessel measured 5,5l2 tons and

the status of noncombatant attack
ing troops, and. according to the rules
Of war, laid himself liable to execu-
ton by the Austrians should he by
any chance fall into their hands. Un-
der the laws of war, a civilian may
never engage in hostilities.
The temper of the German govern

GOLDEN DAYS FOR
man Who IS ABLE
TO CALL MARKET
Steady and Somewhat Sensa.
tionaI Decline in Stocks Har-
vest for Those on the
Bear Side.

The question of what has hit the
stock market has set local dealers in
these commodities guessing. For
weeks the stocks have been selling
off and the offices of local brokers
have been mighty popular places witt,
those who have had any desire to
take a turn. at bucking Wall street.
Several weeks ago, when the New
York stock market commenced to
sell off several points day, specula-
tors charged the bear movement up
to the possibility that the depression
was brought=aboutsbg sreason of~tffe
government officials looking with
favor upon. the plan of taking over
the railroads, or at least adopting
some plan for operating them as a
unit during the continuance OF the
war.
Argument Knocked Out.
This argument seemed logical and
probably would have been accepted
without question had it not been for
the fact that in the bear movement,
some other stocks were harder hit
than the rails.
For instance, the Steels, Bethlehem
and United States, while the demand
for the products were enormous, with
never a word concerning Uncle Sam
having designs on them, slumped
even more than the rails.
The industrials were caught in the
slide downward prices and many of
them sold off several points daily.
The same was true with the coppers
and it was known that, the mines
and refining plants were being
worked
The decline held all along the line,
the oils being raided and even the
Liberty bonds, securities back by the
government, for weeks have been
selling 2 and 3 points under par.
Men who watch the market and
contend that they ought to know, ad-
NIT that they are at sea and will not

sent them down the toboggan.
