OCTOGENARIAN has BEST
CORN PATCH OF YEAR
J. A. Field of Bismarck, Says His
Wheat Yield Will Average Fiji
teen Bushels to the Acre.

Bismarck, N. D., July IA. A.
Field, who came from Maine to Bis
marck in the early '70's to drive
a wagon train to the Black Hills gold
fields and who remained to become
one Of Burleigh county's most sue
cessful farmers, anticipates that his
wheat yield will average Is bushels
to the acre and declares his corn the
finest patch that ever laid outdoors.
Mr.. Field, a Civil war veteran and
around 80, is still actively engaged
in farming. He has just completed
a tous of the county and asserts that
grain which was planted in properly
prepared ground will produce more
than an average crop.
He has little sympathy for the
shiftless ones who disk their seed
into the stubble, and whose crop in
many instances will hardly pay for
the harvesting.

SANNIES DISCARD
U. S. TOGS TAKING
TRENCH REGALIA
Poncho and Puttee Pass in
Favor of French Slicker
and Cloth Leggings

Paris, July IA. The American
troops in France, it is made known
in a partial report of Investigations
made by American officers, will dis
card the well known poncho for the
French cavalry slicker as best adapt
ed to trench fighting. The troops
also will be equipped with sleeveless
canvas jenkins. lined with wool. as
sleeping bags.
The familiar puttee will disappear
in favor of cloth leggings such as
were used by the expeditionary force
in Mexico. Each soldier will have a
folding cloth fatigue cap to wear un-
der the irksome steel helmet.
Some idea may be gained of the
immensely of the task of supplying
the American armies when they reach
full strength by the fact that each
million men must have a 1,000-ton
refrigeration plant, the steel and iron
for which must be brought from
America. The refrigerators must be
located not only at the base but close
behind the fighting line. Storage
tanks with a capacity of a million
gallons will be needed at the bases
with depots for transferring gasoline
to obviate the necessity of using
trains.
Plans already far advanced include
the construction of so-called salvage
depots for the repair of worn out
clothing and shoes. A pair of shoes
last a soldier in the trenches only
three weeks on the average. The
magnitude of such depots is shown
by those used by the French which
employ 1000 men each. Each mil
lion men probably will consume one
million pounds of meat daily.
American army headquarters in
Paris rapidly is proving itself too
small for the volume Of work in prog
ress. A large number Of men of the
quartermaster's department has moY-
ed to a hotel formerly largely
patronized by American and English
visitors and the chief of the depart
ment is installed in what was form
erly the bridal suite.

Convicts Give
$50 to the Red
Gross Society

Bismarck, N. D., July 14.-De-
prived of the privilege of fighting
for their country, 200 convicts in
the North Dakota penitentiary
have done their bit by subscrib-
ing $50 to the American Red
Cross for the relief of the boys
who can go.
The convicts recently petition
ed Warden F. S. Talcot for per-
mission to appropriate $50 from
their earnings, averaging from 25
cents to so cents a day.
Their request was granted, and
their contribution was turned
over to B. G. Marks, treasurer of
the Bismarck chapter, today.

ARMY MEN TOO BUSY
Staau Notifies War Department
There's No Use Going to Camp.

Chicago, July 14-A. A. Stagg,
director OF athletics at the Univer-
sity OF Chicago, yesterday tele-
graphed Raymond B. Fosdick, COM
missioner OF training camps, that he
would not report for duty at Fort
Sheridan today to instruct student
officers in recreative athletics.
Explaining his stand, Stage said
he felt that he would be wasting his
time, as the war department, in ar
ranging the daily schedule for the
student officers, did not set aside
any time for teaching athletics.
81 spent two days at Fort Sheridan
in conference with officers and
reached the conclusion that there is
no Job for me at the camp, Stagg
said. when not engaged in train
ing, the men spend their spare
moments attending to personal af-
fairs. They have no time for athlet-
ic training.
