WRITES THRILLING WAR TALE
. Randall Parrish, Lecturer, Civic Elk.
pert and Author, Turns Out New
Sea Story That Makes Hit.

1.-THE most unusual story Of the war;"
is what the literary editors and book
reviewers have said of the novel "Con.
traband," by Randall Parrish. And
having just finished the tale ourself,
we take sides with them and declare
that "~Contraband" is a rip-snorting
crackerjack of a yarn. 1t contains
more man-size action and heart-warm'
ing romance to the chapter than any.
thing in the way of fiction we have
read since the year of the Big Wind.
Briefly, "Contraband" is a recital Of
the adventures of a young man who
tries to sneak a ship load Of copper
across the ocean into Germany a few
days after war was declared.
Of course there's a girl in the story
"a wonderful girl with tender eyes
and soft hair and grace and charm and
sweetness and courage. If it hadn't
been for her, the hero would have left
the ship, crew, copper and Germany
to their fate-but she made the differ
ence.
Now here's a secret-we r going
to run "Contraband" as a serial in this
paper Don Keep your eyes peeled
for further announcement.

1t is about time that our railroad
commissioners took up the matter
of freight rates and see to it that
the railroads of the state made a
more just and equitable rate for
the hauling of grain. and other com.
modities. For instance, the rate
on a carload of grain, from Clyde,
which is in Cavalier county, to
Devils Lake, a distance of eighty
four miles is "a per hundred, while
from Devils Lake to Minneapolis,
a distance of 4O4 miles, the rate
is 10 cents per hundred In other
words it COST practically three and
one. half times as much Ier mile to
get a car of grain from Clyde, al
does to get it to Minneapolis.
This is a rank injustice, and es.
pecially at this time when the far.
mers of this section of the state
must ship in a large amount of
feed and seed to carry them through
another year. This is a rank injus-
.tice, and it seems as though there
he some method to force the
railroads to be fair in short hauls.-

The adjournment of congress until

The farmer with a number of boys
around the home below the military
age will be lucky when the season
opens up next spring. At the rate
the young men all through the west
are responding to the call for recruits
and being called into the service of
the country by draft, there is most
certain to be a shortage of help on
the farm during the coming season.
Consequently it follows that wages
will be high in farming as we'll as
other branches of industry.

AIR RAID STINGS
PRIDE OF BRITISH

London, July 9.-The morning
newspapers subordinate everything
to Saturdays air raid. The country,
it is declared, has been disgraced in
a manned never experienced since
the Dutch fleet burned Chatham
more than $50 years ago. The Incl
dent is described as disgraceful alike
to the war office and the admiralty
air service, and the removal of those
responsible for the miserable dis
play of incompetence" is demanded.
Even those comments which are
more restrained complain that Great
Britain is falling behind the aircraft
construction, and say 1t needs speed
ing up. General Haig's reference to
increased German air activity is re-
garded as highly significant. In all
the comments there Is the same not
