Some of the farmers were in town
Saturday, having finished several
weeks of strenuous work through the
hav, barley and oat harvest. The gen
eral opinion seemed to be that the
harvest was about half through. Con-
seouently many farmers probably
worked Sunday to get the ripe crops

are in good shape at present. Small
grains of all sorts show up we'll with

most places and some farmers are
sure of a whacking crop. Potatoes
and other garden stuff is good but
could stand rain.
Paul SpiegeIberg & Sons of Five
Points have completed their small
grain harvest with good yields. Their
corn is fine for ridge corn and COM
pares favorably with the best OF bot
tom corn. Mr.. Spiegelberg also plant
ed two or three acres Of beans be
tween the corn rows and this looks
good, too.
Ed Mclean and his two boys finish

thinks will do rs bushels. He also
has four acres of wheat which prom

They Stole a Boat.

Andrew and Charles .Sederlund, two
young men who claim Rock Island for
their home, were also in court Monday
morning. The specific charge was
the taking Of a boat valued at SIS
from Herman Hartman, who lives on
the river. The young men claimed
that they found the boat floating in the
river, but unfortunately for them they
had also taken a pair of oars from an
other man. They purported to be go
ing down the river in easy stages from
La Crosse. The penalty imposed was
fifteen days apiece

After reviewing the British re-

and paying tribute to the Ameri-
can engineers valor in that fight,
Baker warns America must speed
up its military effort, prepared
not only to fight, but to win, and
must be entirely united.
This German parrying thrust,
the most powerful and successful
blow aimed at the British during
the past two and half years,
coming as 1t did Immediately az
ter the British victory in the same
place, serves to emphasize the re-
viving strength of the Germans

! Wierd Change.
Il I'VE must recognize plainly
1 that the situation In the eastern
theater has brought about a very
wierd change in the strategic pos
sibilities of the military situation
in the west.
Germany, by leaving only a
skeleton division in the Russian
area, by concentrating all avail
able guns, munitions and men in
the theater of operations in the
west, has been able TO mass a
relatively greater force than she
has ever been able to mobilize in
France in the past.
This explains the success
which the enemy has been able
to achieve In driving the British
back from Cambria.
Plans Long Prepared.
ut would not do for us to mini
mize its importance. The enemy
realizes that he finds himself in a
singularly fortunate position, and
can be relied upon to take the
utmost advantage of 1t.
For long time he has been
preparing his plans for Just such
an eventuality as /! would arise
when Russia should enter upon
negotiations for a separate peace,
which has been a principal Ger
man objective ever since the bat
