GERMANS SNEER AT U. S. SOLDIERS

Germany. Clarke had his own horse,
an animal which he had brought with
him from America. He knew the
horse and the horse knew him. The
Yankee pressed forward, and in a mo-
ment more, with the eyes of the Ger
man army upon them, horse and rider,
in one magnificent leap, had cleared
the gulf and were scurrying away to
the headquarters of the German gen
eral.
The Yankee officer beat the German
aide by half a mile of distance, and
he was on his way back with the en-
perOr's answer before the first mes
senger dispatched had delivered his
imperial majesty's order. Clarke took
the ditch on his return as he had taken
it at the first, but the German re-
turned by the way he had come.
Until August, 1914, and perhaps I'M
til April, 1917, the story Of Clarke's
jump frequently was told in the Ger
man service The sneer for Amerl-
can sOldlershlp officers here say is the
sneer of unreason and that the Ger
man army knows 1t.

United States, as head Of the Norwe-

the United States to relax her new
export regulations so that supplies ur-
gently needed in Norway can be
shipped.
With one-third of It's shipping ton
mage sunk by U-boats, Norway will
starve and cease to exist as n nation
unless America permits fOodstuffs and
iron to be sent to Norway, says Doc
tor Nansen.
Norway Is in desperate straits for
fOodstuffs and iron," said DR.. Nansen.
1--WE must have food from the United
States or we shall starve. We must
have iron or we will have to abandon
shipbullding. Our trade is almost ex-
clusively with the United States. The
only food we are sending to Germany
is fish, and we do that with the con-
sent of the British government. We
are getting no iron from Germany or
/ England. These countries were our
principal source of supply before the

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what it
Is to, be in tight pinches. They perse,
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they travelled overland from
Calgary across the Rattle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen. but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. It was
In 1906 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol|
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half Of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $50,000 and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops in this district of from 80 to
30 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to so bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep 70 cattle and 60 horses, of which
a number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given Of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo-
hiles. Speaking Of automobiles it will
be revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half Of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan. 21000 IL
censes were issued up to the first Of
May, 1917. In its monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity Of the
West In the following:
Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in q much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years Of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with q normal crop,
to liquidate substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. It is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economize !:
both time and labor."-Advertisem

Bird Starts a Fire.

carried a twig, one end of which was
aglow, into the hayloft. Not far from

nesting bird carried twig, which had
been burning in the brush fire, but
which was thought to have blown
away from the immediate vicinity Of
the fire, to the barn. Two valuable

FIRE BUGS AT FORT RILEY
Guard at Camp Funston Succeeds in
Blocking an Attempt to Burn
An Army Barrack.

What apparently was an attempt tc
set fire to the frame buildings at Camp
Funston that are to house the national
army was frustrated late the other
night by one of the guards. Several
shots were fired in the darkness, but
the man escaped.
About o'clock in the morning one
of the guards saw light flare up near
the corner of one of the buildings. He
called out to the man to halt. Instead,
the light was eXtinguished and the man
fled. The guard fired five shots after
the fleeing figure, but evidently miss
ed him. The guard chased the man
several hundred yards through the
maze of lumber and around buildings
and lost him. A few minutes later he
saw man gallop away on a horse
and fired again, but missed.
An investigation of the place where
the light was discovered disclosed a
small pile of waste soaked with oil. 1t
was lying directly under the corner Of
one of the barracks on the north end of
the reservation. Near it was partly
burned match. No other evidence was
found and no one was able to give
description.
Everything possible is being done to
guard the cantonment against intru-
ders and any person who might intend
to do harm. The grounds are lighted
with big carbide lights stationed at in
tervals all over the place. About the
only dark places are in the shadow Of
the buildings and huge piles of mate
rial. Soldiers from the Third Regi-
ment are on duty day and night patrol
ing the reservation from end to end
and it is very difficult for stranger to
pass through without being questioned.

The plant is located on the

property the company bought
thirty acres for the site of it's
enterprise. The railway comp

The new plant is a concen-

TRADING WITH THE ENEMY

Came Here En- Route to
HermOSillO AbandOnS His
Project Rather Than
Violate the Law.

Yesterday '"The Oasis" re-
ceived a call from Mr.. C. w.
Grouse of Phoenix, who was
Agent at the Sacaton Indian
Agency, in Maricopa county,
twenty-five years ago, when
"The Oasis" was established
at Arizola, at which time Mr..
Grouse and the editor became
acquaint. After that the gen.
tleman was probate judge and
school superintendent in Mari
copa county four years; and
Superintendent and Disbursing
Agent for the Fort Apache In
dian reservation, which post he
held through a period of twelve
years.
Resigning the post at White
River, which was the post Of
flee of the agency, sogne years
ago, Mr.. Grouse engaged in the
manufacture of Portland ce-
ment in Maricopa county, having
enlisted capital in the enter
prise and installed a large ma
chinery plant. During the past
three years that place has been
closed, the Cement Trust having
put it out of business.

Mr.. Grouse had been in cor
respondence with some parties

post of selenite, the rock which
burnt and ground makes cement,

give him serious trouble under
provisions of the act noted. So,
