The French carried their successful
counter attack even beyond the origi-

Germans Are Repulsed.
The new ground is being firmly
held, several counter thrusts under

the total numerical strength Of the

DON'T WAIT TO BE ASKED.

ACTIVE members of the Fargo chap

The Forum suggested this plan before
the national council began its campaign
for 800, 1000, 900. The Forum belieYes
it is the sanest and most business Ike
method Of financing the work.
q But there Is no reason why the on
GERS and active members should bear
the burden of collecting these sub

every resident Of Fargo, who is not in
some branch of the service to give
something to the Red Cross, II it is
only ten cents a month. The sum rep

80 cents a month for $4,000 sub

are forced to bear the whole burden,
it means a heavy load.

the price Of potatoes in Chicago falling
80 cents a bushel, to $2.40, but add the
postscript: There are 800 cars OF po-
tatoes in the yards here awaiting an
outlet"
Awaiting an outlet" sounds ominous.
II the outlet proves to be the Chicago
river In an effort to maintain high
prices, somebody ought to go to prison
for it, There would be no worry about
an outlet" If dollar bushel were
Topped off the price. and the cost to the
consumer would still be higher than it
should.
In Indiana, new potatoes are being
offered at 81 a bushel. With the i'm
mense new crops Of potatoes coming
on the market, there is no excuse for
such prices as are being asked, and the
only reason Is that the normal coming
down" process is being retarded by
spectators with big supplies on their
hands.
II the same conditions are allowed to
rule the coal market, the effect Of the
nullifed. Yesterday they agreed to cut
81 to $3.50 a ton from the price Of the
coal at the mines. II that reduction is
not passed along to the consumer, the
same agencies that forced the reduc-
ton should ask the reason why.
When the price at the mines is raised
10 cents a ton, the raise is very
promptly passed along, sometimes be-
coming about 25 cents a ton by the
time it reaches the consumer. Why
shouldn't the law work both ways?
When the price is reduced the con-
sumner should benefit just as quickly
as he suffers and to the same extent.
The work of bringing down coal prices
is not finished by any means; it has
Just begun.
