The barrage raid is the most thrill
ling. The time Of the starting Of this
raid is called the Zero hour" Your
batteries start the barrage and you
follow right along after it tt the boche
trenches. 1t doesn't pay to walk too
fast, for If you do you are likely to
get in the way Of your own barraee
and be killed. When you reach the
enemy trenches your first work is to
take prisoners and. then you blow up
dugouts and munition dumps with
your grenades. Your barrage follows
you right back to your W trenches,
protecting you all the while from the
enemy.
While our infantrymen were bravely
holding their own in the trenches
frequent clashes were occurring in
the air above. On, clear days air fight
Ing and air scouting proceeded briskly,
and every time a flock Of enemy air
men moved toward our trenches our
anti-aircraft guns got busy sending a
barrage Of shrapnel skyward.
Early in November, 1917, two Ger

lines for the purpose Of making pho

American pluck. The Yankees will die
fighting rather than submit to be
taken prisoner.
Visits Always Returned.
When you make a visit to the Ger
man trenches you can always look for
a return visit. It may occur the next
night, or maybe 1t will not happen I'M
til a couple Of weeks later.
Raids are made usually for the
purpose Of taking prisoners and
squeezing information out OF them
concerning the strength Of the enemy
positions. When it is decided to make
a raid, the officer in command calls
for volunteers, and Of course every
body volunteers. A certain number of
men are selected for the stunt and the
preparations begin. The raiders cover
their faces and bayonets with lamp
black and then steal into No Mans
Land with pistols and grenades.
Sometimes the raid lisa silent one

the anger and contempt they have
for each soldier who has to be chain
ed and for the commanders that will
chain him. More than one Yankee
outfit has been witness to this thing
But their feelings take on still an
otheS color when as they are slushing
through a golden wheat field, they
look up proudly at the airplanes
bearing the French colors, only to
learn a few moments later that they
are masked German planes from
which gunners pour fire into their
ranks.
And when they found dead in the
field a hospital corps boy who had
been tending them indefatigably from
the first and who was shot by a snip
er while he was busy at his task in
broad>d daylight in an open field.
They found him with one hand

TO SAVE GASOLINE
The request"

The request" and appeal Of the Fuel Commission
mand not lightly to be disregarded. No pleasure riding
on Sundays. whether in motor vehicle. motor boat or mo-
tor cycle-and no use Of them for business purposes ex-
cept in work Of necessity and mercy. Automobiles to
whom Sunday is their one big day. may congratulate
that the request comes we'll at the end of
the summer season, and that the discontinuance Of sun
day riding promises to be for "only a few weeks" The
thing will be annoying to many. but the real loss and
hardship will be a small matter indeed. There are hints
of a special need for shipments Of gasoline overseas At
this time, and the country will very cheerfully do any
thing in reason that contributes even directly or remote
ly to THO waging Of the war-And gasoline. or petrol. as
Europe calls 1t, contributes something very intimate and
vital on land and sea~-Boston Herald.

WHEAT PRICES

Acting under the authority conferred on him by
congress the president has fixed the price Of wheat for
the coming year at the present figure. $500 per bushel
at terminals. That means that now, before the winter
wheat crop for the year Of 1919 is sown and eight or
nine months before the spring wheat viii be sown, the
farmer knows that he can sell all the wheat that he
can raise next year for a price not less than that fixed
on the $220 basis. Before the crop is harvested the
price may be higher. In no case will it be lower. In
ample time. it is promised, a disinterested commission
will investigate the conditions surrounding the raising
OF wheat, and, II the facts warrant. the price will be ad-
vanced. But the minimum is fixed and certain.
That makes the wheat crop the most satisfactory
grain crop that the farmer can raise. other grains may

AN lNTERESTlNG COMPARISON

Asfanily left Grand Forks early in the summer for
an eastern city where the head Of the household is now
engaged in war work. The family had lived in Grand
Forks for several years and had become accustomed to
here. A letter recently received from a friend
Of the lady Of this household makes. some interesting
comparisons between Grand Forks and the city where she
now lives, and which. by the way. is a city of consider
able age and some pretentions-
This. lady reports that shortly after becoming estab-
lished in her new home she was sharply reprimanded oy
the local authorities for her manner of disposing Of
household garbage. In Grand Forks her practice had
been to roll kitchen refuse in paper and deposit 1t in the
garbage can. from which it was taken to the incinerator
by the collector. This practice Of wrapping is in general
vogue here, and is convenient and clearly. The eastern
town has no incinerator, and the garbage is collected and
used for hog feed. Mrs. Blank was instructed that she.
must place no paper in the receptacle, as paper was not
desired as a hog ration. The result is the inevitable one.
that the garbage can is a foul, greasy, smelly thing, which
attract flies and is both unsightly and unsanitary.
In the selection of places to do trading the family
was at first puzzled. and then disguised. The inspection
of food, and of the places where food is handled, is un-
known in that city. Grocery stores and meat markets
are dirty, slovenly' places, and there is not in the entire
city anything to compare with the clean, tidy flyless
grocery stores and meat markets which have become
matters of course in Grand Forks.
Similar comparisons are made between the general
appearance of the eastern town with that of Grand
Forks. There the streets are dirty, and the condition of
the streets is reflected in the appearance of most of the
private property.
1t is an old saying that one needs to go away from
home to learn the home news. Similarly, it is sometimes
useful to go abroad in order to realize just what ones
own town is like. On such q visit one may often pick up
information and Suggestions which will result in i'm
provements at home, but, in addition to this, the Grand
Forks resident who does much visiting is apt to conclude
that the old town is a pretty good place, and pretty we'll
kept.

On this second night in the trenches
Sergeant Marsh went out with an am
bush party. The members of the
party were guided through the barbed
wire by a French soldier.
Trip Into No Mans Land.
when the Frenchy had takep US
through the barbed wire" said the
sergeant, his mission was ended"
and he turned back after wishing US
Godspeed in our mission. 1t was our
first trip into No Mans Land, n l
confess that 1t was spooky work al
first. It was as dark as a pocket out
there, and a heavy rain was falling.
Our mission was to wait by a certaln
water hole, in the hope of ambusnlng
any Huns that might come there our
ing the night for water. we waited
there for six hours, but no Germans
came. Every once in a while the
Huns would send up a flare from their
trenches and we would flatten out on
our stomachs and wait until the Eght
died down.: 1t is a curious fact that
if YOU remain perfectly still while a
flare is in operation the enemy can
not see you, no matter how brightly
the landscape is Illuminated, but II
you move even the slightest bit you
will be detected and made the supJeft
of target practice for macnlne guns
and rifles.
The next night Sergeant Marsh and
his men made another trip out in No
Mans Land, and inspected the
,enemy's barbed wire. They were
searching for weak spots when they
were detected by the enemy. The
Huns sent up star shells'and started
a brisk fire with machine guns. The
Americans dropped fiat on their stom-
achs. and when the flares died,
crawled to a shell hole, where they
remained until the fire had slackened.
Then they crept back to their
trenches.
On another night an incident occur
red which showed that the Huns
were constantly in fear Of being at
tackled and were very much worried
over the arrival of the Americans. On
this particular evening a Yankee
patrol made a noise out in Nc Mans
Land, and the Germans evidently
thought the Americans had started a
general attack all along the line, FOL
they sent up scores of flares, and
dropped a barrage on u trenches
which lasted for fifty minutes. II
made u d%oughboys laugh to see the
Germans waste their ammunition
against the phantom attacking force
Four of our men stationed in q lis
ftening post showed their mettle when
the Germans dropped a trench mortar
| box barrage ON a communicating
trench and cut them of so they could
not get back to our lines.
Thirty Germans raided the post
under cover Of the barrage and 9
! fierce hand to:hand struggle ensued
Our boys put UP q terrific fight and
accounted for at least twelve OF the
Huns before they were overwhelmed
and killed The next day u men
found traces Of the fearful struggle

were scattered all about the post, and

WAR BRINGS HIGHER COSTS

The increased cost Of living. which is noticed in the
domestic affairs of every family. is also reflected in the
municipal budget. It costs more money to maintain a
family, to operate a business, to run a city, than 1t did
when matters were on a normal basis. Provision is made
in the annual appropriation bill which passed its first
reading at the meeting of the city council on Tuesday
night for expenditure amounting in all to $4,000 more
than the total appropriations for the year 1s17-1s. Eight
thousand dollars of this is accounted for in the items for
interest and sinking fund. Items for which appropria-
tons must be made in accordance with the volume OF
outstanding bonds, and for which special provision is
made in the constitution of the state.
The other increases include about $4,000 for the
citys share of certain new special improvements. The
balance represents increased salaries in the various de-
partments where a number of men are employed" and
the increased cost of materials which must be purchased
for the use of the city. 70 .. ..'.. b.
Aside from the additions which are beyond the con-
troll Of the council, those for interest, sinking fund and
special improvements, the advance over the cost Of cur
rent operation for the preceding year will amount to ap-
proximately 6 per cent, and to the citizen who compares
his present necessary expenditures with those Of a former
year, that advance will appear very moderate. If the
council can conduct the business of the cit- during the
coming year efficiently and keep the cost within a fig.
entitled to credit for excellent work.

CHAPTER TX.
FAnainr nut the HIM

The problem at hand was to wipe
out that machine gunner before he
did any serious damage.
But every time our sharpshooters
plugged bullets into the spot where
they thought the boche gunner was
stationed, the Hun would change his
position in some mysterious manner
and start peppering Jul line from an
other angle. Parts Of the American
line became u~ntenable.
Finally n day when the boche
machine u started barking our men
turned q trench mortar loose on tho
pest. The gun out in No MANS Land
suddenly became silent and gave the
Yanks no further trouble. The fol-
lowing night an American patrol
found the boche gunner dead in a
shell hole with his machine gun.
badly battered. beside him. The
American trench mortar had done its
work we'll.
From the first, No Mans Land, with
It's she'll craters and barbed wire en-
tanglements, was enthusiastically ex-
plored by the Yankees. In fact, from
the start they virtually took over the
control OF this desolate region and an
nexed 1t to the United States. Every
night u forces sent out patrols to
ambush boches. cut enemy barbed
wire and to feel out the positions Of
the Huns.
