The following poem entitled "Noth-

is worth noting. . Nothing one does,
if he does it well, is easy and simple
and quick and light-the task of life
is a difficult task, to do it well and to
to do it right. Nothing comes easy,
the strife is hard, but the thing worth
doing-ah, that repays for the ache
and grief and the dust and CRIME and
the infinite pain Of the toiling days!

OBITUARY.

On Monday afternoon at three o.
clock Mildred, the fourteen month
old daughter Of MI. and Mrs. Ole o.
Berg passed away after an illness of
two months. The child was first TAX
en- i'll with pneumonia after which an
abcess formed on the lungs which
resulted in her death. Everything
was done for her that the parents
could do but God deemed it wise to
pluck this little flower in it's infan-
cy. The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ole Berg smypathize with them
in their hour Of sorrow. Funeral
services were held in the Turtle Noun
tain Church Wednesday afternoon,
where interment was also made.
"Asleep in Jesus, peaceful rest,
Whose working is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Savior's power.
Asleep in Jesus, 0, for me
May such a blissful refuge be;
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on
high"

CARBURY SCHOOLS.

The members of the Carbury
Schools were interrupted in their
school work Tuesday afternoon by the
sound of the fire gong. There was no

Ichabod was not very bold, as he
believed in ghosts and witches and
therefor was very nervous.

The Courage of Ichabod Crane.


Ichabod Crane, who was a native of
Connecticut, was a schoolmaster in
Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow was
a valley which seemed to be bewitch-
ed. Many legends have been told
about spirits being see at midnight,
noises and music heard in the air,
and of haunted spots found in the
n%eighborhood. The inhabitants have
many beliefs and some have told of
having seen a headless horseman.
Ichabod Crane was very supersti-
tious and believed all the legends he
read or heard. He liked very well
to sit and listen to the old Dutch
wives. tell ghost stories of witch
craft and COLLINS. When going home
after dark he would remember these
stories and he would become so ner-
vous that he was startled by the
rustling of the leaves, his own foot
steps and every little noise he heard.
He even fancied he heard the foot
steps Of the headless horsemen be-
hind him, but he did not dare to look
to see If he was pursued. Every
shrub that was covered with snow,
every ray Of light that came from q
house nearby and the light Of q fire
fly, he believed to be ghosts, until he
came nearer to it and discovered he
was mistaken. Without doubt, Ich-
abod was sometimes frightened even
at his " shadow, when the moon
was unusually bright. When Isha-
bod thought he heard all kinds Of
noises about him, made by COLLINS
he would either whistle or sing 9

Commercial Club Meeting

There will be special meeting of
the Fort Yates Commercial Club
held at the Foresters' Hall on next
Tuesday evening at s O'Clock. There
are a number Of important mat
ters coming up and it is desired
that everybody attend.
One Of the matters that will be
discussed is the fuel situation. As
stated in the Pioneer last week the
chances are that it will be impos-
sible to get coal next fall in this
section of the country on account Of
car shortage. At that time of the
year about all available railroad
equipment will be needed for haul
ing grain.
1t is the intention to figure out
how much coal will be used by the
members Of the club during the
coming winter and then put in an
order for the number Of carloads
required and have it shipped to Bis
| marck and then from there bring it
down by boat.
| This was done last year, and a
considerable saving was the result.
1t is a matter that should be given
attention and now is the proper
time to act. .....
1t is also the intention to have a
social session after the business of
the meeting is over. Cards and re-
freshments are ON the program.
Everybody turn out.

ATLANTA FIRE DOES
100000 DAMAGE

Atlanta, Ca, May 23.-Acres of
smouldering ruins are all that are left
of about seventy-five blocks of Allan.
ta's residential section, over which fire
swept almost unhindered. Troops
guard the devastated area and firemen
are working vigorously to quell small
blazes which still persist.
Thousands of persons are refugees,
crowding the homes of friends, hotels
and public buildings. Mayor Sander
declared, however, that Atlanta would
take care of the homeless and that out
side aid was unnecessary. Relief COM
mittees already are at work.
The fire, the origin of which is un-
known, started in storage ware
house and, famed by brisk wind,
was carried to adjoining buildings.
Not since the days when Sherman
burned Atlanta on his march to the
sea has the city seen such a disaster.
From Edgewood avenue, near the
business section, to Ponce de Leon
avenue, one of the most exclusive resi-
dence districts, only a section of
standing chimneys is left. The fire
Gid not reach Peachtree street, the
principal thoroughfare, or the business
district, though these were threaten
| ed several times.
The loss was unoff1cially put at from
| $4,000, 900 to $3,000,000.

SWEDEN AROUSED
BY LOSS OF SHIPS

Stockholm, May 23.-Official and
popular resentment against Germany
due to loss of Swedish ships by sub.
marinings was increased by an.
nouncement that the steamers Lizzie,
Goeletta and Kaella, have been cap.
tured en- route between Sweden and
Finland.
Presumably tho German vessels
which made the capture took the ships
into port, but their disposition is not
related.
Sweden, Denmark and Norway have
recently suffered heavy losses through
U-boats.
A statement from Denmark official
sources details resentment and says
since the war $50 Danish ships have
been lost by submarinings or through
mines, with 210 sailors lives lost.
Of these 200 were said to have per.
ished during the last three months
since Inauguration of unrestricted
submarine warfare.

Germans Are Reported
Giving Ground Slowly
The German Army in France Slowly
Giving Ground Before Relentless
Pressure Allied Armies

London, May 23-The German ar.
mics in France are slowly giving
ground before the relentless pressure
exercised by Generals Haig and Pc
tain.
Apparently the allied commanders
have abandoned the policy of sudden
thrusts at chosen points and are re-.
lying on constant hammering over
a wide front in the belief that sooner
or later the iron German ring must
break.
Three separate counter attacks by
the Germans on positions captured
by the French were repulsed, accord
ing to the French war office.
The number of prisoners taken by
the French Monday was 1000.
While there is little immediate pros.
pect of sensational developments in
the battle area the political situation
remains fraught with many possibili.
ties. The latest news from Russia in.
oicates that the crisis in that coun-
try continues acute and the menace
that Russia may either withdraw
from the entente or be plunged into
chaos still throws its shadow over the
future.
Would Repudiate Treaties.
The Russian radicals are apparent
ly as determined as ever to reduce the
war program of England and France,
but they show almost as much reluc.
tance as Berlin to define their precise
aims.
A conference is projected at which
the coalition government will be ask
ed for a frank statement as to it's po.
sition and there are uncomfortable ru-
mors that the Russian radicals intend
to attempt to force reputation of Rus.
sia's treaties with the other members
of the entente.
On the credit side Of the account
is, the rising tide of indignation
against Germany in Scandinavia and
Spain. The anti-German faction in
Sweden has been powerfully rein
forced by the action of the Germans
in sinking three Swedish grain ships,
in violation of their own agreement to
respect the safety of the vessels. Spain
is still awaiting reply to her protest
over the sinking of the Spanish steam
er Patricio, also destroyed while sail
ing under German guarantee, and
the tone of the Spanish press is in
creasingly bitter.
In South America the president of
Brazil has called on congress to
abandon the nations declaration of
neutrality in the war between Ger.
many and the United States.

Government May Seize
The Entire Food Supply
In Case of Short Crop Federal Off.
cials Will Assume full Control and
Distribute the Supplies

Washington, May %. Although
government food experts oppose fix
ing maximum prices on staple food
products except to force big holders
to release their supplies, protection
for the consumer will be one of the
first considerations of the new food
control administration.
If there is a shortage in any food
staple and 1t becomes essential to
lower the price, the government, it is
said, will not hesitate to take over
supplies and distribute them itself.
In this way, officials believe, more
can be accomplished than by setting
maximum prices beyond which sell
ers may not charge. If there is an
abundance of food, however, they
don't think it ever will become nec-
essary to exercise power of comman-
deer.
A short crop of any commodity,
food experts say, will send prices up
through competitive bidding, despite
ordinary regulatory measures and the
only remedy, they hold, in this case,
is for the government to take over the
product, paying the grower good
price and distributing food where it
is most needed.
The government food experts think
the plan for voluntary organization
to handle the food situation will win
the cooperation of the country. If it
fails a bureaucratic system, they be-
lieve, will have to be instituted.
