Gardeners of Fargo, there's still tims
for action.
General Hoe and Adjutant Rake
await your orders.
June doesn't conclude the garden
planting season in this region. There
are many varieties of garden stuff that
may be planted up to July 1.
Others will need to be planted be-
tween now and June Is. .~.
The United States department OF
agriculture is authority for the state
ment that North Dakota gardeners
still have an opportunity to aid in the
national food production movement
The North Dakota experiment sta
ton at the state agricultural college
in Fargo, backs up the United States
department.
IF you have not already pIowed
your garden, and the ground is in
condition to be worked, plow at once,
and get the soil ready for planting" is
the word that goes from the expert
ment station.
The advice that goes out to garden
ers at this time is the final word for
the 1917 production campaign.
Accompanying the appeal for final
action, the United States department
OF agriculture provides some real in
formation on how various products
may be grown.
Here is the departments advice to
gardeners of Fargo and of this region:
Peas-Peas should be planted first.
There Is time to make three or four
successive paintings at ten-day inter
walls, thus assuring the family a supply
of peas for a month or six weeks after
they come into bearing. Plant in rows
or 4 feet apart for horse cultivation
or 2 1-2 to 3 feet apart for hand culti-
vation. Space the seed about / inch
apart in the rows. A pint of seed is
sufficient for a 100-foot row.
Beets-Beets may be planted at any
time from now on. The young, tender
beets make fine greens and every gar
dener should make an immediate plant

were following each other in headlong
fashion toward the earth.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock in the even
ing when the British offensive patrol
sighted the eight Germans, we'll over
their own lines. The enemy machines
fed but eventually were overhauled
and brought to combat. The COM
mander of the British formation dived
at the nearest German, but the latter
| turned sharply beneath him and es-
capped the first burst Of fire. The COM
mander then attacked another machine
just in front of him, pouring in many
rounds at ranges shortening from fifty
to twenty yards. The German went
down 1000 yards in spin, then turned
over and continued to fall, completely
out of control.
BY this time another hostile aircraft
was on the commanders tail. He tried
to shake off the German but could
not do so, and deliberately went down
in a spin. When he flattened out he
found the German still with him, and
he again went down in spin. The
German was then attacked by a Brit
ish pilot, who had followed him down
and sat on his tail. flooding his ma

Three Germans Shot Down.

able battle kept up until three Ger
mans had been shot down. The 9TH
ers having fed, the British patrol re-
turned without single casualty. The
pilot who brought down a machine
with seven shots from his automatic
pistol had accounted for two other
Germans making a record Of three for
! the day.
One of the most remarkable escapes
pilot ever had from death occurred
today. While over the German lines
his machine was hit by a shell which
tore a hole through it and exploded
on the engine, wrecking it. The pilots
leg was fractured in two places but
he brought his machine back over
the lines to within five feet of the
ground, where he lost consciousness
and crashed to the earth. The machine
was so shot about that the men who
extricated the young flier had to pull
him through the hole which the shell
had made.

bombs on military establishments back

War Correspondent Describes in
Thrilling Way the Hair Raising
Air Battles on Western Front
(By Associated Press.)

British Front in France, May 81, via
of the Associated Press)-The recent
lull in the fighting has had no effect
whatever upon the British aerial Of
fensive, which continues day and night
with unrelenting intensity. In the last
few days there have been witnessed
some of the most desperate air battles
of the entire war. One or two of these
have been fought at the unprecedented
height Of $4,000 feet. or more than
three and one-half miles from the
earth.
Recently there was duel in which
a British pilot having run out of am
munition for his machine gun. got
close enough to his antagonist to
shoot him down with his revolver.
This incident served to recall the
fact that when the war began the only
weapon which aerial pilots had were
pistols and carbines.
Commenting today on the dazzling
altitude at which many combats oc-
cur nowadays, q pilot said that when
he first went to war in 1914, he few

quarter to reach 5000 feet.

comrades. 1.-The old bus had in those
days IcdCi VgVOV LSCS at olAAs
The airplane which could not nego-
tiate 10000 feet we'll under ten min
utes would be scrapped quickly now.
A notable feature of the air fighting
in the last ten days has been the ten
dency of the German machines to
break in pieces soon after being shot
out Of control.
II Heavy German Losses.
The toll of German planes destroyed
in May will mount far into the hum
dreds. In last Sundays fighting alone
thirty were accounted for. Fifteen
were seen to crash to the ground, four
teen were driven down completely out
of control and one was shot down by
artillery.
One of the melees on Sunday, be-
tween six British and eight German
machines, was as thrilling as any
aerial battle ever fought. 1t was at
close quarters throughout, so close in
fact, that wings scraped against wings
and fighting pilots could look each
other squarely in the eyes. No sooner
would a British pilot swoop up to the
tail of one of the German machines
than another German was on his tail.
This German in turn would almost i'm
mediately have another British pilot

Soldiers Not To Be Pitied
Says Roosevelt in Me-

fRx Associated Press. j

| Mineola, N. Y, May 31.-Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt, addressing several
thousand of his Nassau county neigh
bors' at the fair grounds here yester-
day, appealed to the wealthy among
them not to employ labor IL beautify
their estates while the country is at
war Lifting his hat and pointing to
a huge American flag nearby. he Urged
those present ito come to the front
in an eager desire to serve with their
bodies, with every quality of their
souls, spirit and minds; with their
service, labor and military skill and
not stand upon words, but in DEEDS
for the one flag that floats over US
that flag that holds in it's folds the
future glory of mankind"
The former president reviewed the
Sheriff's reserve corps, composed OF
many of the most prominent cltizens
of his home county.
Turning to the audience Colonel
Roosevelt declared If there was any
man in the country who was not pre-
pared to do everything in his power
"now when the nation calls he had
better go away.
do not think in terms of self-sac-
rifice but in terms of service said
Colonel Roosevelt. II do not pity
man who has chance to risk his life
for his country; Il envy him.
There must be absolute and undl-
vided loyalty to our flag. The events
of the past two years have shown
that no man can be any more loyal
to two flags than to two wives.
ANY man who is not a good hus-
band is not a good citizen. A man
must be loyal to his wife and to his
country. Now that Germany stands
as the most efficient military autoc-
racy that the world has ever seen,
no man is good American who does
not stand against Germany and for
this country with all his heart"

wrote Wallace Pepper historifies as
follows:
The first newspaper published il
West Virginia was the Monongalia Ca
zette, which started at Morgantown in
1903. The Farmers Register, printed
at Charles Town was the second ven

only newspapers in West Virginia IN
1910.
The Oldest newspaper still being
published in this state is the virginia

was founded in 1921.
The Monongalia Gazette was in four

wide and sixteen inches long. 1t did
not prove much Of success and after
three years cut its size in half. Camp

subscription rate was two dollars per
