Sixty Bushels Of Oats
to Acre Bonanza Crop
Of Kensal Vicinity

Kensal, Aug. 1S.-Tuesday forenoon
the threshing season started in this
section Of North Dakota, and while
we cannot boast of big crop, yet
when the grain is all on the market
present high prices will bring more
money in circulation than our grain
producers received from their 1916
crop.
Frank link threshed oats Tuesday
on his bonanza farm west of the
river. The field yielded so bushels
per acre.
About the same time Frank Neva's
threshing outfit was swung, into line
with Will Bingham at the throttle and
Franks oats and Rudolph Kove's bar

CONNER ciial Club Takes
Sides With Farmers

Saturday the Valley City CONNER.
cial club got busy and through the ef-
fort of Vice President Lee and the Sec
rotary the board Of directors were
communicated with and it was decid-
ed to send Gen. Amasa P. Peake to
Washington, D. c., to appear before
Food Commissioner Hoover and his
committee to place before them the
price fixing proposition as seen by
the northwestern farmer and business
man. The government made an appeal
last spring to the farmers of the
Northwest asking them to seed every
available acre to wheat, to enable this
country to feed the armies of the al.
lies and our own armies. The north.
western farmers responded, they work
ed overtime and planted every acre
they could. The urgent appeal from
the government was sent out long
after the appeal was made to the
spring wheat states. Now comes the
price fixing proposition after the win.
ter wheat states have marketed their
crops and just before those who so
nobly responded to the call are to
thresh their crops. The winter wheat
farmers received for their crop around
the SO mark, and will it be fair under
these conditions to cut the price for
this years crop to 81 at the terminal?
The Valley City Commercial club is of
the opinion it would not be fair and
Tor that reason Gen. Peake has been
sent to Washington to present our
side of the proposition. We feel that
no better man in the state of North
Dakota could be sent on this mission
as General Peake not only knows the
wheat game but knows general condi-
lions of the northwest and knows what
1t costs to raise crop under the pres
ent conditions.

Trenches Are Destroyed
: This alteration has been brought
about by the ever increasing prepon-
derance of British artillery which has
buried the German front line trenches
upder an avalanche of shells and has
left the defenses nothing but heaped
burrows of earth and has made the ia
nous dugouts veritable man traps in
which countless thousands have lost
their lives without a chance of fight
ing back.
The first German lines now often
consist of strong outposts concealed
in shell craters or copses, and con.
siderable distance apart. ~
Shell Hole Nests
Back of these outposts are chains
of shell hole nests, each nest consist
ing of two or three craters connected
by underground passages that often
lead to dugouts. AS the entire territory
is pitted with holes, this is easy of
accomplishment and it may be pre-.
sumed that the Germans figure it will
be hard for the allies observers to
pick out the defended shell holes from
the thousands Of others scattered
about.
: Where time has allowed, the Ger
mans have made the shell hole de-
lenses with elaborate care Each nest
is heavily protected by barbed wire
and the chambers beneath are rein
forced with timbers and concrete. In
these the infantry Turk with machine
guns and rifles, ready to rush out and
begin firing if an attack is launched
against them.

- HE legend of the cross most
widely spread and most gen
~ orally believed in the olden
time is as follows: .
Adam, having lived to q great age
and feeling that death was not far
distant, babe his son, Seth, bring to
him either the fruit of life which grew
in the garden Of Eden or the oil of
mercy which flowed there and which
had been promised to Adam upon his
expulsion from the garden. Seth made
his way to paradise by the footprints
Of Adam and Eve, over which no grass
had ever grown. ...-.
The angel to whom Seth made known
his errand gave him three seeds from
the fruit of the tree Of which Adam
had eaten and directed that they be
placed under Adams tongue just be-
fore his burial. In the course Of time
Adam died, and the angels instruc-
tons were carried out.
Soon there sprang from Adams grave
in Hebron three trees-a cedar, a cy-
press and pine tree. These long
grew together, forming -one trunk,
which came to be regarded as a SYM
Dol of the holy trinity. This tree,
transplanted by Moses and later by
David, grew to be very beautiful.
But even it's beauty did not prevent
Solomon from cutting it down in order
to complete his temple, for which a
beam Of enormous size was lacking.
But each time that the beam cut from
the tree was fitted it would be either
too large or too small, and such q
strange circumstance was taken as n
sign that 1t should not be used.
Some time afterward, most versions
agree. the beam was buried where the
pool Of Bethesda was at later time
discovered. During passion week the
wood rose and foated on the surface Of
the pool and was used for the cruel
fxion cross
