NO INCREASE IN FOREST
GRAZING FEES NEXT YEAR

ogden, Nov. 21.-On account of
the abnormal conditions at present
the Secretary OF Agriculture has de-
cided that the grazing fees on nation
al forests should not be increased for
the next grazing season at least. His
position in the matter is outlined in
a letter to 7. W. Tomlison, secretary
OF the American National Live Stock
association. which is quoted below:
The further study OF the value OF
grazing privileges on lands within
the different national forests, refer
red to in my letter of February l,
1917, has been made during the past
summer and indicates that in general
the fees charged this year are still be-
low the real value of the forage. In
the meantime, however, many impor-
tant changes have taken place due to
the present war conditions, and the
stockmen have been called upon to
overcome many difficulties in order to
keep up the country's supply of beef,
mutton, hides and wool not only for
our own use but also to help meet the
needs of the allies.
In view of this situation l have
decided to defer action in connection
with any further increase in grazing
fees on the national forests for the
present Whether the postponment
will continue until the close of the
war can not now determine, since
have no way of forecasting probable
economic developments. For the time
being the grazing fees now in force
win be continued, with the exception
of such minor changes as may seem
advisable to adjust and correlate the
fees between certain forests or groups
of forests"

KNITTED ARTICLES BADLY
NEEDED BY THE SOLDIERS

The locad Red Cross chapter is in
receipt OF communication from
headquarters of the Northwestern di-
vision at Seattle, in which urgent
requests are made for knitted articles
for the soldiers. One of the commu>
nications Ia as follows:
1T is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wristlets and socks that can
possibly made by the women OF the
country should be turned in to the
supply department at the earliest pos
sible dates.
with the cold weather coming on
the demand for sweaters especially
has been beyond the capacity of all
our resources to supply.
I'VE have forwarded promptly all
knitted articles received from the
chapters, and have in addition been
compelled to buy in the market FIVE
hundred fifty thousand sweaters, OF
which about two hundred fifty thou
sand have been delivered. These
! sweaters are machine knit and the
yarn used is mixture OF cotton and
wool SO that 1t does not withdraw any
considerable amount of yarn from the
women knitters OF the Red Cross.
I'VE are buying all the yarn we are
able to secure that Is suitable for
knitters and sending it out to the
chapters as fast as we can get deliv-
cry of it.
I'VE have received from the chap
ters about two hundred thousand
sweaters and approximately the same
number of machine made sweaters,
all OF which have been delivered to
the men in the camps and training
stations. with the exception of a few
thousand which we have had to send
to France. Requests of our organiza-
ton in France for sweaters and knit
ted goods have had to remain unsat-
isaed on account OF our inability to
secure enough for men in our own
Armyan Navy.
I'VE call upon the women to give
as their very best effort that we may
be able to furnish our own men with
those comforts and have some to
share for the dire needs in France"

THINGS WORTH THINKING of.
fRy Rev. Israel Putnam.l

10y HeV. lsTd0I Fulndm.
Love for the world is the best cure
for the love of the world.
The best translation OF the Bible
is It's translation into the liveseOf men.
Sin makes its own hell in the soul
OF the sinner.
Truth is the Rock OF Ages.
Men are paying the biggest price
for their destruction while their sal
walton is free.
Heroism is not estimated by the
pound.
A contented soul is harder to find
than man who owns the Universe.
Sin soaked in tears of repentance
is easiest washed away.
Indulgence of the eyes in lewd
scenes is as bad as intoxication OF
the stomach in whisky
If man win not hear the voice
of failure and falling he will never
hear. nor know, the voice of success
and praise.
He who thinks most of his own
happiness knows least of it.
No hell can harm il Heaven be in
the heart.
He who is at rest from himself and
at work for others is the happiest
man on earth, or In Heaven.

THE FAREWELL TO
THE WESTERN BOYS.

The following poem was composed
by lady OF Charlotte, N. c.. as an
appreciation of the manly character
Of the western boys as shown during
their short stay in the southern city:
The boys are leaving. breaking camp.
To the front perhaps, we know not
where.
But this We know, God will protect
Each youthful trooper, with love and
care.
Our short acquaintance with these
men
Has been such as to make us proud.
We love the noise of these noble boys
And their splendid manhood, they are
endowed
AS they go out, we must not forget
They fight our battles without com
plant,
A more noble thing could not be done
By man on earth, or in Heaven, q
Saint.
For freedoms right, for honor's sake
To protect our flag, they give their
lives,
TO protect our homes, all to US dear,
Our children, Mothers, sisters, wives.
Boys, accept our best wishes as you
go,
May you come back heroes all
Come back to Mother, who gave her
boy
Gave him freely, gave her all.
On your return, we welcome you.
From our heatrs we say again
We love the noise of you WESTERN
BOYS,
Noble hearted, loyal, Western men.

OUR BULLY BOATS
ARE YET AFLOAT.

Words by I. v. Tunks.)
The Kaiser's boast to exterminate
The gallant Yankee ships
And wallop all the universe
Befit his breachy fits.
His stygian dreams hit shy the mark,
AS sage or knave may see.
His ghouiish brain, corrupt and dark,
Expose his treachery.
Chorus:
Our bully boats are yet afloat
Upon the briny sea;
Our jolly tars will man the spars
When Huns are non-de-gee.
The Kaiser spout when down and out,
"Mein crown vos nix kom rouse"
And Fritzy squak We're in der hawk
Ker-smash it max nix house."
Our ships yet sail with U. s. mail
Needless the Kaiser's threat,
ITO mop us off the face OF earth
Or snare us in his net"
His harsh guffaws he'll swap for sighs
And soon hard plead for peace,
When down he's plunged his father
land
Below discordant Greece.
Chorus:

NINE HUNDRED TONS
OF HAY BURNED.

Tuesday night, fire destroyed 900
tons of hay on the ]. C. Brandon
ranch just west of town. The hay
belonged to Mr.. Brandon and Lorenzo
Jeffs, the latter gentleman farming
the place. The stack was insured for
about 70 per cent OF the market
value.
There seems that there was no
possible way for the fire to have oc-
Cured other than it was set on fire.
The stack was in the field with a
fence around it. A large hay derrick
was also destroyed.
There seems to be no clue to who
the perpetrators of the deed are.-st.

An Old Mans stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required te meet
the demands of our bodies. n too
much is habitually taken, the stoin-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of 85 or 90, you
will find that he is a light eater Be
as careful as you will. however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable 1t to perform its func-
tions naturally. They also cause a
gentle movement of the bowels.

THE MAIN IDEA OF
RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
Must Stir People to Realization of
Debt and Duty.

I'VE hope the people of Grand
Forks will rise to the occasion, and
astound even themselves by the size
of their contribution to the Red Cross
wal fund" This was the hope ex-
pressed today by A. P. clifford Of the
Red Cross campaign committee.
"The main idea at the back Of all
our planning" said Mr.. Clifford, "is
to stir the United States to a heartfelt
realization of debt and duty, to raise
$100,0O0,00 more rapidly than that
amount was ever collected by volun-
tary subscription. to assemble the best
trained talent that America possesses,
to assemble the great stores Of sup
plies and provide the ships, and then
to start to Europe. especially to our
French and Russian friends. a stream
Of help that will never cease to flow,
IN unending rich current Of material
and moral aid"
"We Must Do Our PART
Excuses and evasions won't do.
The man who has an income Of $780,
900 q year might as we'll make up his
Cross. That's the spirit the situation
demands-no less. If people wifi meet
the situation with that spirit we will
have our wall Of granite in not time,
put life and heart into our shaken
allies. do a tremendous work before
our armies begin to neht, and so de-
liver q tremendous punch straight
from the shoulder at German MIL
tary power. The man who srumbles
1t taxes and at the call to subscribe
will do we'll to keep in mind the
thought that II France and Russia
and England break down he will be
paying everything he has to German
tax collectors for the rest Of his nat.
ural life. That's ali there is to It.
Thats precisely the way matters
stand"
