BQWBELLS IN NEED
:. .>0f~ ~H|TCH|NG POSTS

0 The city of Bowbells is now
without hitching post of any kind,
and it is almost necessary for a
farmer coming into town to either
bring someone with him to hold his
team whilo he doing his trading,
or put the team in feed barn.
The hitching posts which were on
the side street next 20 the Donovan
Bros. hardware store, and which
had been in use there for many
years, had to be removed last week
when the concrete walk was con-
structed as to keep the posts there
would mean the ruination of the
new walk. The Tribune has called
the attention of our business men
and city officials to necessity of
hitching posts on -everal occasions.
but up to the present time nothing
has been done in regard to the
matter. Other towns in this part
of the state, no matter how small,
furnish their farmer customers with
places to tie their teams when they
come to town to do their trading,
and we believe Bowbells is the only
town in Burke county that is not
showing the farmers that it appre-
ciates their business. Between now
and next spring it will be necessary
for large number of farmers to
come to Bowbells with their grain
teams and also teams for hauling
out supplies, and some preparation
should be made Immediately to
place hitching posts in convenient
places for their benefit. The farm
er is only human, and will go where
he is treated the best. Bowbells
should see that he is treated at least
as we'll as he is in the other towns.
One business man in Bowbells sug-
gests that the old site of the Rog-
ers Lumber Co. between the Dono-
van Bros. store and the 500 track
be used for this purpose. About
Is heavy fence posts could be put
there at a small expense and every
farmer coming to Bowbells with a
team would thank us for doing it.
We don't think there is business
man in Bowbells who would not be
willing to donate his share of put
ting in those posts. All that is ne.
cessary is for someone to start the
ball rolling, and We hope that in
our next issue we will be able to
announce that such hitching posts
have already been put in place.

Kindred, N. D., sept. 6.-At a
meeting Of the Kindred Farmers
club, held Saturday night, the price
of wheat as fixed by the govern
ment was the topic of discussion,
being adopted protest
ing against the price determined
upon. ,.,
The club. according to R. j. Huse-

price is "too unreasonably low in
proportion to almost everything else
we have to buy" and the farmers
bind themselves not to sell their
wheat, or to raise more wheat un-
til higher price is forthcoming.
The club will send delegates to
the Nonpartisan conventions In

FARMER VALUES WORK
OF COUNTY FARM AGENT

The value of county agent work is
very prominently called to the atten-
ton of the farmers Of Maury county
in a newspaper account recently pub
lished. This is what the editor of the
paper said in telling the story:
Ninety-five dollars an acre for a
single corn crop and that from a
field Of 20 acres is probably the re-
cord money yield from that crop in
Maurv county. 1t is the record made
by Col. Joseph Brown Tomlinson Of
Fountain Valley farm, near Culleoka,
on 20-acre demonstration plot farm
ed under the supervision and direc-
ton Of County Agent Mclean.
From this field of 20 acres Mr..
Tomlinson sold every barrel Of corn.
| He received in cash $1,890.67. The
crop averaged fourteen and half
barrels to the acre, and the average
price which he received for his corn
was $3.50, making the weld of the
corn per acre almost $500
This is probably the best yield on
that size acreage ever made in the
/ GUILTY. ulOIlCy INtuAAto NViA5AeaSA ~
The crop was worth as much per acre
as good land was worth in Maury
county few years ago. This corn
was grown on Fountain creek bottom
and was planted and cultivated in
strict accordance with the rules pro-
mulgated by the county demonstra-
tion agent.
"This CROP said Col. Tomlinson,
''is strictly a triumph for the county
agent Mr.. Mclean. He is entitled
to at least four barrels per acre Of
the yield. | had 30 acres that ! cul-
tivated my way, and it made a frac-
ton over 10 barrels to the acre. or
four barrels less than the yield of the
demonstration plot. This yield dem
onstrates what the county agent can
do"
The additional yield of four and a
half barrels per acre at $3.50, is near
" $50, or $500 for the 20 acres, or
enough to pay the county agents
salary, at least that part paid by the
county.

THE CHURCH THAT is
BEHIND THE ARMY

Putting the inspiration of a mil
liant religion into the morale Of the
American forces at the front is the
object Of campaign now being
launched by the American churches,
which will put testament into the
hands Of every American soldier and
sailor. The American Bible Society,
which has assumed the responsible
ity Of raising a fund of 100000 to
cover the cost, is getting out a sep
cial soldiers edition-free from the
usual trapping of gilt and morocco,
khaki bound, easy to handle and to
read--a book for the fighting man.
Those who are accustomed to think
Of Christianity as milk and water
affair will be interested in reports
from the front. The Y. M. C. A.,
which will be one of the principal
distributing agencies for the Testa-
ments. reports that the Bible is the
most popular book in the trenches
and that the demand far outdistances
the present supply. The trials and
temptations of war make a demand

and everywhere there is a turning
toward old values and old virtues.
It is perhaps the emphasis on sac

compared with great principles.
which makes the Christian religion

AMERICAS WORK IN FRANCE
What Americans Have Done for
France Since April 2, 1917.


A French writer gives the following
facts;
America has loaned the French
81, $780, 100000
America has sent $50 locomotives
to France suitable for French rail
roads.
America has transported steel rails
to build 1000 miles Of single track,
Also 5000 cars for use on the new
tracks laid by American engineers,
This has all been done by the Amer
lean government.
American railroads have sold small
locomotives to the French govern
ment suitable for French railroads,
to the amount Of 800.
In addition to railroad motive pow
err and railroad material, this French
writer says that the American Navy
has so guarded the French coast tnat
losses to French merchantmen and
shipping has been reduced from five
vessels per week to an average Of two
vessels per week, snd the tonnage
saved thereby has been 10000 per
month.
The hospital eouipage furnished bv
the Red Gross If America Is sufficient
to care for $4,000 wounded men per
month.
The only deficiency in American
supplies is sufficient number of ex-
perienced American surgeons.
Thus YOU can see what America Is
doing. to say nothing Of men who
are now, and will soon be ready to,
take an active part on the firing line
on the Western Front.
Facts about American ship-buildlng
will be told next.
