The Minneapolis Journal recently
admitted that the Associated Press"
sent reports throughout the country
before the recent congressional cleo
ton in the First District to the eff
feet that John M. Baer was opposed'to
everything which President Wilson
supported concerning the war. The
Associated Press furnishes the news
for a large number Of papers through
out the country. When a paper admits
that its news furnishing source sends
out such deliberate lies how can it be
expected that the people will have
any faith in them? These press asso-
Citations see to it that the news is
cooked up and served to the people
in the right (?) manner alright.

carping fault finding Of the way the
things we're managed. When the

she chose that work which she could
do and in spite Of her years she is
doing it better than most others can
do it. She is knitting helmets for avi-
ators and does it we'll. It is such in
domitable spirits as hers that will
win this war.-Souris Messenger.

The First National Bank
Of bottineau


has always stood ready to '1end a hand in all matters
pertaining to civic and agricultural betterment.
We want to see the surrounding country prosper
GUS in production and in agricultural development.
Our business life both present and future is a
part and parcel Of the agricultural life Of the commune
ity.
The past season has again demonstrated that we
must not be a one-crop country. The necessity of diver
sifed farming and crop rotation has been again clearly
demonstrated.
We are thoroughly convinced that our farmers
must come to forage crops, sios, mich cows and steers
feeding to meet the requirements of modern farming
and to keep pace with the constantly increasing price Of
farm lands.
Alfalfa is a soil builder. It enhances land values.
Corn thrives when small grains suffer. Live stock
means a better soil and bigger profits. Mixed farm
ing means freedom from worry about backward springs,
drought, hot winds and rust.
This bank is willing to stand by it's belief in more
livestock and diversified farming by rendering all pos
sible assistance to farmers who wish to get out of the
one-crop rut. We have money to loan to purchase
stock, seed and silos, and would gladly talk the matter
over with you.

WHAT "B0CHE" MEANS.

The term "Boche" as applied to the
German soldiers, isn't a complimentary
one, nor anything new. 1t is an old
term in France, and means thick
headed" 1t is about equivalent to our
American. term of "bone-head."
In fact, the word comes from the
Italian ''boccia,' and means "a round
ball of exceptionally hard wood used
in playing ten-pins." But just how it
came to be applied to the German sold
Ter we do not know.
AS a general rule, nicknames given
to soldiers are not unkindly. The
French soldier is called "poilu, which
means hairy, because in the early
French wars the soldiers had no oppor-
tunity to shave or have their hair cut,
and when they returned from the army
they had a rough. hairy, uncouth ap-
pearance. But there was nothing I'M
kindly in calling them "poilu."
The English are called "Tommies, "
because of fictitious popular British
soldier made immortal in verse and
given the name Tommy Atkins" Dur
ing our Civil War the Union troops
were called "Yanks," as an abbrevia-
ton of the word Yankee and the
Confederates were called Johnny
Rebs". from the word Rebel" But
never was there bitterness or sarcasm
in the terms.
But now we have the German sold
iers generally called "Boches,' or
"Bone-heads, and certainly not as a
term of endearment The appelation
Hun" which one sees in print fire
uuently, also is a term Of reproach
and means the Germans present war
fare and tactics SAVIOR of the barbarity
of the Huns, who, under Attila, came
near over-running Europe and de-
stroying civilization. There were many
of the Huns left in the region that
has since become Germany, but the
German people, as people, are not
descendants of the Huns.

NOT TIME TO BUY COAL SAYS
w. j. HARRIS TO CONSUMERS

ATLANTA, Ga, July 27.-Dont buy
your coal now but wait until the gov
eminent fixes the price under the au-
thority contained in the food bill. is the
advice to Georgians from no less an
authority than William j. Harris,
chairman of the federal trade commits
sion, who is in the city this week.
The price of SO ton agreed on by
the operators, was too high, just as
Secretary of War Baker commended de-
clares Mr.. Harris, and the government
will bring it down to a reasonable fig
ude Meanwhile, the people should sit
steady in the boat and await the fix
ing of the price thereby saving them
selves a very large sum of money, con-
sidering the fact that prices are still
very high.
Mr.. Harris delivered an address to
the Georgia Weekly Press Association
which is still being much discussed
and there is considerable talk amon>
legislators that Mr.. Harris friends may
induce him to make the race for the
United States senate to succeed Thos.

WHAT TO Do In A
THUNDERSTORM.

If you are out of doors in very
severe electrical storm it is well to
observe the following rules for your
own protection:
/. Keep away from wire fences. They
may carry a dangerous electrical cur
rent long distances. Cattle in pas
lures are frequently killed from the
neglect of farmers to ground the wire
oe the fence.
2. Keep away from hedges, ponds and
streams.
3. Keep away from isolated trees.
Oak trees are frequently struck, beech
trees are seldom struck. 1t is safe in
a dense forest.
a. Keep away from herds of cattle
and crowds of people.
5. Do not hold an umbrella over you
6. 1t is safer to sit or lie down in an
open field than to stand.
I. Drivers should dismount and not
stay close to their horses,
8. Do not work with any large metal
t OIL or instrument.
If you are indoors
l. Keep away from the stove and
chimney The hot gases from the
chimney may conduct the lightning to
and down the chimney.
2. Do not take a position between
two bodies of metal, as the stove and
water pipe, for example. An exception
to being near metals is the case of an
Iron bed. One of the safest places is
on mattress on an iron bed, provided
you do not touch the metal The metal
surrounding you makes a safe cage
which will prevent the lightning from
reaching a person inside.
5. Do not stand on a wetf1oor nor
draw water from the we'll or faucet.
4. Do not stand directly under a
Chandelier, near radiator nor register
5. Do not use the telephone.-Sa-

ADVERSE REPORT
On TAX REPEAL

ATLANTA, Ca, July 27-After hear
ing at length from both sides on the
subject the ways and means commit
tee of the house, by vote of 20 to II
" sterday afternoon decided to report
the Trammel tax equalization act re-
peal bill back to the house with rec
ommendation that it do not pass.
Then without a division the commit
tee took similcv action on a number
of other tax ac' repeal measures pend
ing before it, reporting all of them adj
versely.
In reply to the claim that the admin
istration of the law had been a finan-
cial burden to the counties, which had
not justified itself in the returns, Tax
Commissioner John c.. Hart produced
figures showing that in sixty counties
heard from this year the local equaliza-
ton boards had added $685., 664 to the
tax digests of their respective counties.
The expense of these boards to the
counties had been $25,334.64 and the
net gain in taxes had been $212,675;
that is, the equalizers had brought back
to the counties in taxes 50 for every
81 which had been paid them.
The committee allowed one hour to
the discussion of the bills, twenty min
utes to the defenders Of the law as it
is, twenty minutes to the repealers and
twenty minutes in conclusion to the
state tax commissioner who is in
charge of the administration of the law.
By vote of to the senate con-
stitutional amendments committee No.
z voted favorably on the woman's sui.
frage amendment proposed by Senator
Elders yesterday afternoon. About so
! Atlanta women were present, and the
meeting lasted only 40 minutes.
