DO NOT BURN STRAW
PILES after THRESH|kG

Zone of the strongest reasons why
farmers should not burn straw this
year has not been made generally
known" said ]. D. Bacon of Grand
Forks. ''The United States govern
ment will need an aver age of 80
pounds per month of new clean straw
for each man, sent to the various
training camps, to be used in filling
the bedding. Uncle Sam will see
that the men get fresh, clean bedd.
ing constantly, and that means the
use of 20, 600 tons. In addition inn
mense quantities will be used in the
stables of the various departments
of the army
STRAW will be worth nearly as
much as hay this winter. Hay will
be short crop in many sections and
the indications are that baled straw
will bring $40 per ton. Hundreds
of thousands of tons of straw will be
shipped to the markets. 1t would
therefore, be almost criminal to fol-
low the practice of other years and
burn the straw. Straw has fertil-
izing value, also, if scattered over
the fields and turned under, but this
has been done very little in this
state, and it is worth much more as
feed and for shipping this year when
properly handled

F french Victory One OF
Greatest Stree Nerdun


PARIS, Oct 24.-Importance Of the
French stroke on the Aisne grew today.
General Petain's brilliant coup was
hailed as one of the greatest victories
achieved by French forces since Verdun.
The suddenness of the assault, its tre-
mendous driving power and the irresist-
ible plan of the French forces COM
pletely swept the Germans off their feet.

miles from the point where the French
startd thir drive---was wrenched from
the enemy's hands. Along four miles of
the front on which the attack was made
the poilus achieved an advance averaging
considerably more than a mile, taking
5000 prisoners.
Such an important gain at this par

New French Advance
MenaCeS City of Laon

NEW YORK. oct. 24.-(By Foreign
Cables to the Associated Press)
Smashing against the German lines
along a six-mile front northeast of Sois-
sons, the French have made important
gains from the German crown prince
The sudden blow also brought the
French more than 1900 prisoners and
twenty-five heavy and field guns.
General Petain completed an effective
step toward Laon, the southern eXtremi-
ty of the Hindenburg line and important
railroad center, which lies ten miles
northeast of Cahvignon, where the
French advance attained it's greatest
depth-two and one-ffth miles. The
heights dominating Fargny-Filain. at the
extreme right, were seized and French
guns now can batter the Germans on the
hills on the opposite side of the Athlete
river from Chavignon.
More important still. they can pour
an enfilade fire into the forces of the
German crown prince still clinging to
the northern slopes of the plateau par
alleling the Chsmin-des-Dames. To the
German crown prince the blow may
prove the most severe he has suffered
at Nerdun. He has lost several divi-
siOns of his best troops including Prus-
sian guards who were rushed forward
to hold the line at all costs.

LIBERTY BOND AS
CHRISTMAS GIFT IS
URGED BY M'ADOO
Waste No Money on Appetite
or Vanity, but Buy Some
thing of Real Value, Says
Secretary
BY WILLIAM GIBBS M'ADoo,
Secretary of the Treasury.

There could be no more appropriate
Christmas gift in 1917 than a United
State Liberty bond.
Let every patriotic American this year
determine not 10 waste money on Christ
mas gifts of no Ealue, gifts that would
merely indulge appetite or vanity.
Let every patriotic American substi-
tute for such gifts the one present which
would be of genuine value to the recip-
lent and at the same time help to win
this great war for freedom against
despotism, namely a bond of the United
States government.
Every American who contemplates
making a Christmas gift of jewelry or
other expensive thing should Immediate
ly decide to give Liberty bond instead.
Wives, sweethearts, children would
rather have Liberty bond than any
thing else that could be offered to them.
Every Liberty bond an American citl-
zen buys will arm and equip our gallant
soldiers and sailors, Will help to make
them invincible in the fight. The more
invincible we make them the more quick
" the war will be ended.
BY the destruction of the kaisers bru-
talized rule of the bayonet the more
quickly peace on earth, good will toward
men will be restored.
Christmas day, 1917, should be a time
of redediCation and RECONSIDERATION to the
cause of freedom and humanity through
out the world to the ideals Tor which
Christ suffered crucif1xlon on the cross.
We must be prepared to make infinite
sacrifices to secure this glorious result.
The least we can do is to give up
something of our pleasure, something Of
our comfort, something of our conven-
fence, something of our needs, and to
employ all the savings we may thereby
effect to strengthen the hands of the
government and TO support our gallant
men upon the battlefields.

The organization of men in and around
Atlanta into Bible classes by DIR. George
d. Dewey, Bible class expert with the
Billy Sunday organization, will be eX-
tended far beyond the confines of Atlanta
Wednesday night.
At that time DR.. Dewey will address
a mass meeting of men at Griffin, Ga,
during which he will inaugurate drive
for 500 men for Bible classes to be or
ganized there. 1t is planned to make
Griffin a.central point for the surround
ing territory ana carry the work into all
the nearby villages and homes.
The last big Bible class meeting be-
fore the Sunday revival begins will be
held by DR.. Dewey at the East Point
Methodist church next Sunday night.
Then Mr.. Dewey viii spend about
week in pushing tla work ne begun at
Camp Gordon last Sunday night and go
TO Washington to begin similar work
there.
The meeting at East Point will be a
general rally for the men of that town,
College Park, Hapeville and adjacent
territory. DR.. Dewey hopes to organize
at least 1000 Bible class men from this
territory to attend the first big mems
night at the tabernacle.
The Tabernacle has been completed
and is ready for use. according to an
announcement made Wednesday morn
ing. The last work on this big building
was the carpeting of the floor of Mr..
Sundays pulpit, which was done We'd
nesday morning. The pulpit will be dec
grated with the flags of the allies, with
Old Glory occupying a conspicuous
place i'm the center.
After each Sunday revival there is
generally a scramble for the pulpit used
by the evangelist. Already speculation
has begun as to who will get the pulpit
to be used by Mr.. Sunday here. In some
places the pulpit has been presented to
a church where it has been installed
and used by the pastor and at other
times it has gone into the homes of
Billy Sunday admirers.
