Laugh Was on the Joshers

Again we doff our hats to Billie
Noonan and his Baudette Region.
Noonan stated in his paper that a
Baudette youth had been promoted to
sergeant at his training camp. In
reality the boy had been named corr
poral. The report reached the camp
and the lad received an unmerciful
ttjoshing" from his companions and
finally the paper was handed to the
commanding officer. @That's mighty
good newspaper" he said, land ought
to know what it is talking about" And
right then and there he promoted the
boy from corporal to sergeant.-Be-

Many Of the editors of the daily
papers are running excerpts from the
scriptures, but we scarcely think they
are so doing because of sudden religi-

a rest from the monotony of grinding
out war stories.

Within the next six months the de-
mand of the American army abroad

next spring, before the government
has begun to turn out vessels in large
numbers"
Stevens urged the business men to
go to congress in support of the bill
pending to empower the president to
suspend the provisions of the shipping
laws in order that neutral vessels may
be permitted to engage in American
coastwise trade. THE government" >"

SCANT NEWS FROM FRONT.
CensOrs Minimize Engagements That
Show Heavy Casualties.

Rumania's army is continuing its
activity on the Moldavia front and has
won another success. Petrograd re-
ports the occupation by Russian
troops of a Teutonic position on a
height near Grezecht.
The Russian front proper is COM
paratively quiet, neither side appar-
emily being engaged in any important
operations.
Reports from the British front in
Flanders continue to mention only
raids and artillery and airplane ac-
tivities. Notwithstanding that virtual
ly all the recent London official state
ments have been similarly lacking in
records of major operations, the Brit
ish casualty lists disclose there has
been heavy fighting. Casualties on all
fronts reported during the week ended
Wednesday, for instance, totaled more
than 27,00O, of which the killed num-
bered 1890.
Point is given these facts to the re-
cent reports of correspondents that,
despite the laconic official announce
ments, the British activities are by no
means as unimportant as they might
seem and that all arms of the British
service are being constantly employed
in the process of wearing down the
German resistance. The German cas-
ualties for specific periods are not Sc
readily available, but observers at the
front calculate them as extremely
heavy in the fighting now in progress

D. w. Davis has been appointed
chairman of the Liberty Loan State
Central Committee Yesterday morn
ing he received a telegram from Sec
retary of the Treasury McAdoo, no
(tfying him of his appointment as a
member of the Liberty Loan General
Advisory Committee of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve district. Last night
he received message from James X.
Lynch, chairman of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve bank, notifying him that
he had been chosen state chairman for
Idaho to direct the second Liberty
Loan campaign, with headquarters at
Boise.
Mr.. Davis has accepted both ap-
pointments, sending replies that he
felt it his duty to serve in any capacity
where he might be useful. The second
Liberty Loan campaign will open Octo-
Der 1st, and it is Mr.. Davis intention
to leave for Boise early next week to
advise with a representative of the
Federal Reserve bank of the Twelfth
District, and assist in mapping out an
aggressive campaign. Idaho is asked
to subscribe three million dollars to
this loan, one million more than the
first subscription, and a strenuous
campaign will have to be waged to
secure the subscriptions within the
specified time. Banks of the state
took large part of the first bond sub
scription, but it is believed they will
not be able to do so this time, and a
harder campaign must be made. With
this idea prevailing the plans made
will include every part of the state
and the best men in every locality who
can be induced to serve will be asked

to the Instrumentation of Alsac-Lor-
raine.
although the French since 1870
have cherished a passionate attach
ment for Alsace," remarked NJ. Cam
bon. they never would have thought
of risking a worldwide war in order
to retake it, As the war has been i'm
posed upon them, however, they are
demanding that Alsace be returned
to the mother country.
"As regards reparation, the most
elementary principles of justice call
for the payment by Germany to France
and Belgium for all the depredatiOns
she has committed"
NJ. CambOn dismissed the recent in
ternal political incidents in France
as of no real Importance and as likely
to happen in any democracy.

FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR
SAYS HERBERT HOOVER
Nations Best Able to Conserve and
Handle Food Supplies VIII Be Vie
tors.

Herbert Hoover, the food admins
traitor, speaking on the world food
situation at the war convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States at Atlantic City, n. j., Wednes-
day night, declared that starvation
would win the war and the side best
able to organize it's resources for food
production and conservation would
come out victor.
"The food situation of America and
the allies is such," said Mr.. Hoover,
that the neutral countries of northern
Europe cannot hope to get food from
the United States unless they expect
to furnish equivalent service in other
directions to the common pool against
Germany"
Food" said Mr.. Hoover, has since
the war began gradually assumed a
larger place in economies, the states
manship and the strategy of warfare
The allies are blockading the food
from Germany and the surrounding
neutrals are under great pressure to
export their supplies both ways. The
Germans are trying to starve the allies
by sinking the food ships and all gov
ernments are faced with reduction of
consumption, stimulation of produc-
tion, control of prices and readjust-
ment of wages. The winning of the
war is largely a problem of who can
organize this weapon.
There has come about not only a
limitation of supplies but an accumu-
lation in inaccessible markets. The
result of these cumulative forces is
that North America is called upon,
both by allies and neutrals, for guam
titles of food far beyond its normal
export ability.
If the extremely high prices
laundering at every door were not a
sufficient demonstration it is possi-
BILE, by actual figures, to prove that
we have been exporting in many
commodities actually beyond our ca
pacity to produce. During the last
year we have exported every last
ounce of which the country during
this period was capable of producins
and our national stock of cereals anC
animal products, propOrtiOnate to oul
population, was, at the beginning Of
this harvest, the lowest in our history
and many of US have been under tn,
keenest anxiety lest We would face

EARLY BAART Is SAFEST
SAYS L. c. AICHRE
Yields Three Bushels More Than Mar
quis and Is More Plump.

L. C. Aichre, superintendent of the
Aberdeen Experiment station who has
been trying out Early Baart and Mar
quis on the station farm, said to the
Press yesterday that the principal ad-
vantages of Early Baart over Mar
quis was a yield of about three bushels
an acre larger, and a more plump
berry. Early Baart, Mr. Aichre is
convinced, will Withstand drouth bet
ter than Marquis, and is practically
the equal of Marquis in every other
particular. The larger yield, plump
er berry, early maturing and drouth
resisting qualities of the Early Baart
are the factors which determined him
to recommend it for spring planting
to the exclusion of all other varieties.
Early Baart is a new wheat. Gov
ernment scientists have had much to
do with its development, and it is
quite extensively grown in parts of
Oregon and Washington. Mr.. Aichre
says that information as to where
= seed may be obtained can be secured
by writing the superintendent of the
experiment station at Lind, Washing
ton.
where farmers have mustard to
contend with, Early Baart is the va
riety to plant" was Mr.. Aichre's part
ing remark.
