Apples Must Be Sold BY weight.
On inquiry as to whether measure
or weight shall govern in the selling
of apples in this state. the attorney
general holds that weight is required,
regardless Of measure. The question
was raised on the proposition that the
apples raised in the state, would not
weigh 48 pounds to the standard meas
ured bushel, and the question as to
what should rule was brought up with
the finding that 48 pounds is the
standard, and not measured bushel.
Winds Spread Fires.
The prevailing high winds for the
past few weeks have made prairie
fires which are allowed to get a start
very destructive. In the past week
fires which destroyed large amount

Ziebach, Perkins and Trip counties.
In each case a high wind drove the
fires at rapid rate and it was only

BELGIANS REFUTE
GERMANS LATEST
WAR PROPAGANDA

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The Belgian gov
ernment today made emphatic refuta-
tiou of Germany's latest effort to shift
responsibility for the war. In u
statement prepared for the United
Press the government sategorically
denied the German charge, lately re-
iterated, that the Belgians began hos
tilities in the Congo by attacking a
German post August s. 1914. Accord
ing to the German propaganda Bel
gium at that time a'so turned over the
neutral Congo basin TO the French.
The government declared that. in
direct contradiction TO the German re-
ports, Belgians in the Congo were or
Gered to keep strictly on the-defensive
until August 20. 1914. The frontier
into the neutral Congo zone was not
crossed until September-af;er the
Germans themselves had begun hos
tillties in the Congo.
1t was pointed out the neutEsI
basins violation by the Germans vas
another instance on a smaller scale,
OF the Teutonic disregard for all neu-
trality laws evidenced in the invasion
of Belgium itself.
ALLEGATIONS that the BelEians inter
fered with the liberty OF German sub
jects in the Congo at the outbreak of
the war are untrue" the government
declared. German steamers were al
lowed to leave the Congo unmolested
up to the end of September, 1914"

VOLUNTARY
EXPLANATION OF
RUSS-JAP TREATY

State Department officials here to-
day feel certain that either Japan
or Russia will voluntarily come for
ward with an explanation Of the so
called secret treaty between those
two nations and described in Petro-
grad dispatches.
The treaty, according to Petrograd
reports, was dated July 3. 1915, and
was to run for q period OF nvs years,
automatically extending itself from
year to year until one party ex-
pressed a desire to annul It.
In substance the alleged treaty pro-
vided that Russia and Japan should
use joint military authority to pre-
vent encroachments by a third power
that appeared to be a move to secure
political dominance in China. Petro-
was a joint combination against the
United States.
Officials here are OF the opinion
that the treaty was to protect Ger
tain japanese interests on the Sugari
river and the extension Of fishing
rights in Siberia
The treaty is said to besimilar to
that recently made between Japan and
the United States through Viscount
Ishii, which contemplated barring I'M
reference in Chinese affairs BY an
outside power. It differs from II in
one important particular-the Ameri-
can treaty does not suggest enforce
ment by military force, and no sell
fsh motives prompt it

disadvantage. but in spite Of this fact
they have fought back with such
spirit that even the Germans and
Austrians were amazed.
General Corsi, military critic OF the
Tribuna, in commenting upon this
feature OF the fighting today, said:
THE violence of the fghting now
IN progress on. the Italian front and
the nature Of the operations gives the
battle an aspect similar to that OF
Verdun. However, some OF the char
acteristics are different. The Austro-
German offensive against Italy was
launched at a time when part OF the
Italian army had been disorEanized
by insiduous propaganda. That was
not the case at Verdun. Faced by an
overwhelming foe the Italians had to
reorEanize themselves during their
retirement and re-equip themselves
= IN a short time the Italians found
themselves fighting on terrain that
-was highly favorable TO the enemy.
> The Italian battle front took on
such a shape that our positions could
be attacked on the. fianks and front
Again that was not
the case at Verdun. Now our line has
been Strengthened and the enemy at
tacks have taken the form of dashes
here and there in an effort to find
q weak spot. So far none has been
discovered"

Consider the Lilies of the Field, How
They Grow"

The life of the lily is but a few
weeks or months. The life of man is
"three score years and ten." But to
live ones life in it's fullness, women
like the lily, must be nourished by
those same rival elements which ma
ture provides for nourishing every liv-
ing thing; and these include the val
liable phosphate so often lacking in
the usual food we eat today. Argo-
Phosphate is rich in these wonderful
elements. 1t contains them in concen-
trated tablet form which is easy to
take and quickly assimulated and alb
sorbed into the system, and from youth
to old age, builds and rebuids body and
brain in beautiful harmony with Ma
ture's perfect plan. "That's why"
Argo-Phosphate makes good solid flesh
and muscles.
SPECIAL NOTICE.: Argo-Phos-
phate contains the Natural phosphates
which thousands of physicians are
prescribing daily to build up thin, pale,
colorless women to give them rosy
cheeks, red lips, and beautiful COM
plexion. Many cases have been re-
ported where women have increased
their weight from Is to 25 pound
with few weeks treatment, and any
woman who desires a well rounded
and developed form, should secure
from her druggist, this new drug
which is inexpensive and is dispensed
by any reliable druggist with or with
out doctors prescription. If your
druggist will not supply you, send
$1.00 to the Argo Laboratories, 10
Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga, and they
will send you two weeks treatment
by return mail.

Many Million Co-operators
Decide to Enter Politics

London, October 17.-Co-operators
who number many millions and who
have heretofore concerned themselves

decided to form political party and
to seek direct representation in Par
Lament and on local municipal and

a plan Of industrial, social and eco
nomic reform, which included the fol-
lowing aims:
Safeguarding of the interests Of
voluntary cooperation.
Eventual direction by the State of
processes Of production, distribution
and exchange.
Elimination by legislative action of
profiteers and other \peculators.
Compulsory housing.
An educational system on national
lines affording equal opportunity for
higher education for all.
Effective Parliamentary control of
foreign policy.
Abolition of food taxes.
Scientific development of agricul-
ture.
Decentralization Of state services.
Establishment of state bank and
4 national credit bank to facilitate the
development of trade.
Gradual rehabilitation correspond
