proving higher this year than ever
before. This is respectfully submit
ted for your consideration.

straight wheat farming is no longer
practicable. Wheat can be raised
here only two years out OF Ave, and
other grains must be used In rota-
ton. These grains, especially oats,
have registered no decided advance

North Dakota and Montana have

MooRHEAD COMMERCIAL
CLUB TAKES UP BATTLE.

The Moorhead Commercial club, as
A result OF a meeting Of directors
and citizens Wednesday afternoon,
has taken up the battle, sending a
telegram TO the three Minnesota
senators, asking their support in
securing square deal" for north
west farmers. Senator Nelson, one
OF the most influential men In Wash
ington has been enlisted.
The telegram follows:
"Moorhead, Mimi, Aug. %, 1917.
Hon. Knute Nelson,
Hon. Halvor Steenerson,
"Hon. Frank B. Kellogg,
Washington, ID. c.
1.-THE Moorhead Commercial club re-
specially represents that the farm
ers OF the spring wheat states have
suffered from two very short crops
and are in straitened circumstance.
Many are discouraged by the report
that a low price may be fixed for this
seasons crop. The winter wheat
states have marketed their crop at a
price which allowed a good profit. To
us IL seems but just and fair that the
eprinn wheat producers should re-
ceive a fair price which, we believe,
should be at least $3.50 per bushel.'
Winter wheat has been marketed at
price considerably in excess OF the
price we name. We are advised also
that the British government is pay
ing $40 for Canadian wheat. Our
farmers paid as high as SO for seed
wheat, and increased their acreage
under urgent request of the govern
ment with an assurance of fair treat
ment. Unfair treatment now means
small acreage next year. We want

PROHIBITION CARRIED BY
9i6-OTHER AMENDTS LOSE

County commissioners were here to
canvass the vote of the recent elec
tion and the following are the official
figures as given out after the count:
For the Prohibition Amendment the
total vote was l4l6 to 470 against.
The Tax Amendment lost by vote
of 373 for to l43l against.
The Judicial Amendment also lost
by vote of 1888 for to 1897 against.
1t is thought the judicial amend
ment will carry in the state as it was
a Republican move to make the Eighth
Judicial district safely republican, and
this could not be done without getting
rid of the large Democratic majority
in Quay county, so the only way out
was to put Quay county in another
district which was already Democratic,
Therefore under the pretention of need
ing another district this amendment
was Matched in the last legislature and
put up to the people to vote on at
this time. Many in this county did
not understand the proposition and
therefore did not vote on the amend
ment.

FRANCISCO VILLA CAPTURES
OJINAGO AFTER HARD FIGHT

Preside, Texas, Nov. 14-Federal
troops evacuated Ojinago at $3.50 to-
night and came to the American side,
where they surrendered their arms.
General Cardova, commander of the
Mexican troops at Ojinago surrender
ed to Captain Theodore Barnes, Jr.,
commander of the American troops
here. He said the fighting was hand
to hand before the evacuation.
Villa followers now occupy the Mex
lean town. Many were killed, wound
ed and executed.
The fighting was confined to the
streets of Ojinago and in municipal
plaza. The attack opened at twilight
and the Villistas were soon in position
TO leap at the defenders of the little
cluster of adobe huts called town.
The Villa forces swept past the out
post like wave of fire and charged
down the streets and into the military
headquarters. The rout started soon
after 8 o'clock and by $3.50 the retire
ment had become wild scramble fol
safety on the American side of the
river.
The federal troops who crossed into
Preside and are interned tonight num-
ber 300. The remainder of the gar
rison, probably 200, are missing.

AMERICANS PUT GERMANS
TO FLIGHT IN CLASH

With the American Army in France
Nov. li-American infantrymen ex-
acted revenge for "a trench raid during
u recent night by ambushing a large
German patrol in No Mans Land, kill
ing or wounding u number Of the en-
emy.
The American patrol, in which there
were some Frenchmen, ambushed the
German lines on shell-shattered farm
After lying in the mud nearly all
night the patience of the watchers was
rewarded by the sight of large Ger
man patrol, its number more than
double that of the Franco Americans.
The Germans were permitted TO pass
when the Americans and Frenchmen
on their flank opened not fire from
shell craters and other shelters where
they were secreted.
The Germans were taken completely
by surprise and bolted, carrying with
them their men who had been hit.
The number of dead and wounded
Germans IL uncertain, but none of the
men in ambush was hit by bullets the
Germans fired later on from a dis
tance.
There were congratulations all round
when the American and Frenchmen
returned to their trenches.
Patrol work on both sides is becom-
ing more active, as is also the artil-
lery fire.
The Germans during one 24-hour
period of recent day sent over at
least three times as many shells as on
the days during which the Americans
were first entrenched. One night the
firing in the back areas against the
approaches of the communication
trenches reached the proportion of
drum fire. 1t is evident the Germans
thought American trench relief was
taking place. AS matter of fact, nc
relief was in progress and no material
damage done.
During the last two night the Ger
mans have continuously used machine
guns in the direction of the American
line. Sniping is becoming more active
on both sides. American sharpshoot
ers are working close to the German
lines, especially when the nights ar'
clear.
The activity by enemy snipers thu
far has resulted in one American cas-
ualty. A non-commssioned officer wa
hit in the head and killed.

JESSE SMITH IS ASSAULTED

A free for all fight occurred Sat
urday night at the Eager Garage, and
it seems that Jesse Smith, the me-
chanic, was the recipient of many bad
cut and bruises. 1t is understood that
three or four men under the influence
of booze, jumped on Smith and had
him down when John Grayson ap-
peared on the scene. Mr.. Grayson
was struck one but he succeeded in
pulling the fellows off of Smith.
No arrests have yet been made but
it is thought there will be when the
names of the participants are known
Smith is suffering from broken right
jaw which came in contact with the
boot heel of one of the men. All the
men were huskies and Smith stood nc
show against so many.

QUAY VALLEY FARM.
ERS SELL 90 TONS OF
BROOMCORN At $500

Monday was broomcorn day and the
Quay Valley farmers were here with
thousands of pounds of this precious
article. 1t is estimated that they de-
livered 81, 300 pounds or 271 bales,
which averaged 300 pounds to the
bale. Mr.. Gurley was here to receive
the corn and paid $500 per ton for
same. 1t was an extra fine quality
and was raised in the iive-mile strip
in the eastern part of the Quay Val
ley where they luckily received rain
just ut the right time and little Of
tener than other points south of town.
Among those who delivered broom
corn Monday were II. p. Whiteside
with 13 bales; +. B. Spicer 8 bales;
b. T. Johnson II bales; T. ID. Keith Z;

few others the reporter did not find
on the scale book, but these are the
main contributors during the day.
Mr.. Gurley paid out to the farmers
from Quay something like Sl2,l95.
One man, G. A. Brimmage had in 55
acres of corn together with his son
and they harvested 66 bales from this
55-acre tract. These bales averaged
better than 800 pounds and it is un-
derstood he received better than $4,000
for this years crop of broom corn, or
considerable over $50 per acre. Not
so bad on $40 land in dry" New Mex
leo, and during an extra dry year.
Other good records were made but
Mr.. Brimmage had in the largest acre
age and therefore pulled in the larg-
est check at the excellent price of $500
per ton.

ers have forty tons or more and their

had not yet been sold Monday and
Mr.. Gurley intended to go up and see
if he could buy it.
