Now that Uncle Sam has the young men
of the country in training for military
service, he finds that he needs 10, 600
tywriter operators and stenoglaphers
and typewriters, both men and women,

The civil service commission has notified
all of its 5000 boards of examiners that

range from $1,000 to 81 200 year. Pro-
motion is reasonably rapid to those whose
services prove satisfactory. No appoint.

1918 WHEAT PRICES FIXED.
Editor Hannah Moon:

Since the Food Control Bill passed
Congress there has been considerable
uncertainty as to its terms in respect to
the price of wheat for the 1918 crop,
and particularly as to the length of time
the set price of $500 bushel would be
in effect. and especially if this price was
guaranteed in the event of the war hav-
ing ending before the marketing of the
1918 crop. The enclosed letter received
from Senator McCumber explains the
provisions of the Bill, and farmers can
be assured that their 1918 crop will not
fall in price below $500 at such markets
as Minneapolis. Sales on No. 1 North
ern. spring wheat, war or no war. and
may rule higher, depending on market
conditions.
Believing many farmers in this county
would be glad to know the exact provi-
sions under which they will market
their wheat next year. And with veiw
Of bringing it to the notice of all inter-
ested at as early date as possible SO
that ground may be prepared now I
hand in herewith the Senator's letter.
Very truly,
y G. B. Mcmillan.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Weather conditions have prevented
infantry operations along the European
battle lines during the week, except ex-
ceptional raiding parties. Gen. Haig
has established his men on the new lines
taken during the last three weeks and
whether he goes farther this season de-
ponds on weather, and the enemy.
Meantime ''attrition" is wearing away
all armies az usual. Thousands of tons
of steel are daily being exchanged and
one of the wonders of the war is where
each army gets its immense supplies
how the supply holds out and how it is
gotten to the front in a constant stream.
The German navy has made strike
at the mouths of the Gulf of Riga and
the Gulf of Finland. They have landed
troops on one large island there and
taken possession except for small part
where there are still some Russian troops
resisting, but who will probably be cap
tured. A large German naval force,
ninety vessels, covered the landing of
the troops. The Russian feet gave
them some resistance and two brief naval
engagements ensued, with the Russians
claiming that several small German
ships we're sunk or damaged.
The war critics are specializing on the
meaning of this movement by the Ger
mans. Most are inclined to think that
they will be satisfied to take control of
the openings of the waters occupied and
that there will he no real effort to take
Petrograd. The capital is about two
hundred and fifty miles from the scene
OF present operations any winter Is COM
ing on. There are also several Russian
strongholds on the road which would
probably take considerable army to
reduce and the critics generally. appear
to think that Germany just now has not
the men to spare.
Possibly the Germans are taking this
position to be handy in case Of an inter-
nal breakup in Russia. Perhaps they
will prefer to wait where they are rather
than to advance and take Petrograd. as
the latter might serve 3 make the Rus
sian people unite 70 drive out the for
e,gn foe. when nothing else would bring
them togetbeF.
In our own country the men already
called arc busy getting themselves and
camp conditions regulated to their new
relations. Letters from the local men
all speak Of good treatment, plenty Of
food and health. The same word comes
from the boys who have gone to the
nsvy. Il is expected that the remainder
Of tho drafted men will be called to
camp about the first Of November.
Canada has started in examining men
for the nov conscription. They are call

Roosevelt calls them .'tifty-6fty" pa
triots, but that is an impossibility. there
can be no such thing as being loyal to
two countries at once, ct least in time OF
war. Though the slur is made across
the line that only French Canadians,
can be desloyal to two countries at once.

My Dear Mr.. Mcmillan:


Hannah, N D.
My Dear Mr.. Mcmillan:
Replying to your letter concerping the
price fixed for next years wheat, will
say that the minimum price Of 500 per
bushel for wheat at the terminal points
that may be selected will prevail for the
1918 crop regardless Of war conditions.
In other words every farmer is assured
that price, II war should close and
wheat should drop in price, it would
simply mean that the Government would
pay the difference between ethe market
price and the q 90 price fixed. The
Act Of August II. 1917. provides that
guaranteed price for the several stand
ard grades Of wheat for the crop Of 1918
shall be based upon No. l Northern
Spring Or its equivalent At not less than
800 per bnshsl at the principal interior
primary markets. This guarantee shall
