Didn't Stay Any Longer.
Roosevelt Thompson, negro boy
who was placed on the stand stated
that he was standing west of the car
when the shooting started He said
in effect "The first thing knew,
the gun was shooting looked over
that way and the man that was in
the car looked like he was in q
solid flame of fire"
We'll, what did you do next" the
attorney asked him.
Il didn't stay there any longer. ,
the boy answered
Small Effort by Defense.
The defense examined directly only
four witnesses and made only a
slight effort at producing effective
testimony The defendant was not
placed on the stand Roosevelt
Thompson, Daisy Shaw, Hosea Flet-
cher and W. w. Randolph were ex-
amined by the defense. The bulk of
this testimony was nothing more
than that the witnesses had heard
the shots.
An effort was made by the at
torney for the defense to show that
the deceased had been running
over" the defendant from time to
time. This testimony was overruled
by the court on objection Of the
county attorney, on the grounds that
the defense had not established a
foundation for the self defense plea.

North Dakotans need not worry
over the sugar supply if they would
take the trouble to grow sugar beets
but the seed should be planted within
the next week or two. The govern
ment recently issued a circular de-
claring that one ounce of sugar-beet
seed if properly planted, cultivated
cared for and stored, should produce a
gallon of syrup.
The views of the government ex-
perts on this subject may be found
in Farmers Bulletin 1923 Of the Unit.
ed States Department of Agriculture
prepared by c. O. Townsend and H. c
Gore, issued under date of May, 1917
and entitled "Sugar-Beet Syrup" The
following abridged summary seems
pertinent:
Sugar-beets may be grown and
strip produced in any locality which
has tillable sail capable of producing
good crops Of Vegetables. Therefore
any one having a small piece of fer.
tile, tillable ground and the usual gar.
den implements, spade, hoe, and a
rake, is equipped to grow the beets
necessary for the production Of 8
home supply of strip. In some local.
ties the beets produced are richer ii
sugar than they are in other localities
but all sugar-beets, if properly han
died, are capable of producing sirup
The richer the roots are in sugar, thu

be produced from a given quantity o.

but each time, Great Britain has been
able to foil the well laid plots, the last
time when some 500 Sim Feiners were
placed under arrest in Ireland. Count
Won Bernstorff has had his finger in
the pie most of the time and Germany
has furnished great deal Of money
as we'll as arms. German submarines
were sent to Ireland, not alone to sink
Allied shipping. A number of Amer
leans have been discovered to be in
the plot. One, Father John T. Mich
olson, priest of Irish. birth but an
American citizens, was sent to Ger
many to aid in the plot. A numbero Of
Americans are apt to be placed under
arrest at an early date. Great Brit
ain knows a great deal that she will
not make public but it has been stat
ed that the recent uprising was to
have occurred shortly after the Ger
man drive, when it was believed that
England would have her hands full.
Americas entrance in the war a year
ago, interfered with the plans laid at
that time. The Sim Feiners are do
ing much to keep Ireland from get
ting Home Rule.

CURED to reduce the juice to the re-
quired consistency. After the roots
are thoroughly washed they should be
cut into thin slices. The slices should
be very thin. The thinner the slices
the more rapidly the sugar is extract

sixteenth Of an inch in thickness were

approximately two bushels of slices.
which should be placed in barrel and
covered at once with hot water, and
permitted to soak for about sixty
minutes.
"The water should now be drawn
off and strained through several thick
nesses of cheese-cloth. The resulting
liquid is of light-brown color, with a
swedish bitter taste The juice may
be placed in kettle or other conven-
lent receptacle, where it should be
heated slowly until it has evaporated
to the proper consistency. Slow boil
ing is important in making beet sirup.
and several hours will be required to
complete the eyaporating process.
while the boiling is progressing a
scum will rise on the surface of the
liquid; this should be removed care
fully by means of skinner. This
operation removes the strong beetlike
flavor and leaves wholesome and
palatable product.
"The sirup produced from beets is
dark in color. This would be objec-
tionable if the product were placed
on the market, but for home use it
probably would not be regarded as
serious, in view Of the quality of the
product and the simplicity of the pro-
cess. Any method of bleaching or
otherwise removing the dark color
would require considerable skill and
some outlay of money. The flavor of
the strip is pleasant. 1t contains the
pure juice Of the beet-root and is a
wholesome and nutritious food, which
to a certain degree should be helpful
in reducing the sugar BILL
"Beet strip may be used for all pur-
poses for which other sirups or mo-
lasses would be employed, especially
for table use; for example, on buck
wheat cakes, in making dark-colored
cake, or in preparing certain kinds of
home made candy. If the evaporation
is carried far enough and sirup is al
lowed to stand, dark sugar will set
tie out. This sugar will be found very
satisfactory for home use in cases
where refined sugar is not necessary,
such as in making pies or dark-colored
cake"

Mexico has broken diplomatic re-
1ations with Cuba, yet Carranza claims
to have great friendship for Cuba and
to trust that Mexican citizens in Cuba
will receive the same friendly treat
ment in the future as in the past.
Mexico explains that Cuba is at war
and that in the struggle, Cuba is apt
to commit certain acts Of which Mex
lean citizens in Cuba might have just
cause to complain. BY severing dip.
=lomatic relations, those citizens Will
have no opportunity to register any
kick. This is Mexico's version OF the
affair. There may be other reasons
real reasons-which she is not will
mo to admit. Perhaps Mexico has
done this in retaliation for wltnnolo-
mo Cuban sugar and other supplies
Mexico knew that Cuba, being ou1
allv. had withheld her sugar at the
request of the U. S. Food Admlnlstra-
tion. Mexico, which is rich in petrol
cum. will ship Cuba no more oil; Fer,
hans Mexico figures that the United
States will come to Cuba's AID, as mel
allv, and that we will be drawn into
the affair to such an extent that the
severance of diplomatic relations be,
tween this country and Mexico will
result. We must have Mexico's oil to
carry on the war. Germany knows this
and lust as likely as not, Germany Is
behind the whole business. Time VIII

One of our readers becomes quite
worked up because the Independent
found occasion to criticize Mr.. Town
ley, and he declares that this paper
cannot possibly be friend to the
farmer because we are not in accord
with some of Mr.. Townley's principles.
The Independent is a friend to the
farmer and we also claim to be a
friend of other legitimate business
and professional enterprises. The
farmers comprise approximately
three-fourths of the population of
North Dakota and naturally it is to
the interests Of all of us to see that
they get a square deal. The Indepen-
dent has always declared that as the
farmers prosper, so will the rest of
US. But if we follow Mr.. Townley

At the time that this is written, Ger
many has massed her forces on the
western front for her third major
drive since March 21, and before this
is in type, the offensive may be in
progress. Germany must break thru
now or never. It might be very ir-
teresting just now to consider the rel
alive size of the opposing armies fac
ing each other on the western front.
The German army today, according
to figures which seem very authentic,
numbers approximately 100000.
This, we are told, does not include the
Austrian army, the main part of which
is now engaging the Italian army.
More than 100000 of these German
soldiers now face the Allies on the
western front. France had an army
of 100000 when the German often
sive began in March and France has
lost but small percentage of these
men. It is admitted that The United
States has an army of more than $780,
900 men in France and Washington
says that the number will be increas-
ed to 100000 by the end of the year.

blindly, not only will the other bus
mess enterprises suffer, but we fear
that the farmers themselves will lose
their chance of helping themselves
thru their original program of coop
GRAFTON. In short, The Independent
wants to see the farmers get square
deal all of the time, and at the same
time, we don't want to see Mr.. Town
ley or anyone else interfere with other
legitimate enterprises. The town man
needs the farmer of course and the
fair thinking farmer certainly appec-
iates the many enteprising villages
and cities of our state. If we'd all
listen to Mr.. Townley, we'd have only
one line Of business represented in
each town. Our enterprising towns
would dwindle until they'd be nothing
more than whistling stations. The
plan is doomed to fail. Granted that
such condition could be brot to pass,
your farms would not be worth more
than half their present value. You
farmers who own land near Minot
need not be told that the value of
your land is much greater than it
would be if this metropolitan city of
the west did not exist. You helped
build these cities and towns and you
ought to be proud of your work, but
you certainly do not want to take a
hand in tearing them down. The In
dependent wants to see your organiza-
ton a success. You have a splendid
opportunity to correct conditions that
have not been right Well continue
to back you up in your fight started
by the Equity for honest grades and
right prices. We're with you on your
packing plant and terminal elevator
propositions, or whatever will result in
building up our own state. Well help
you to get your products manufac-
tured and converted into the finished
product right at home. That idea is
a splendid one, but we are not ready
to swallow Mr. Townley's Socialist
doctrine, body, soul and breaches.
You've get to get rid of your So
cialist leaders or you are apt to stun
bic into pitfall that will retard the
carrying out of that portion of your
program which would prove of real
help to you without hurting anyone
else.

Italy has 100000 men fighting in
France and Italy declares that she
will furnish as many men this year
as America sends over. So from these
figures, we must conclude that the
French, Italian and American armies
in France today total approximately
100000 men, to say nothing of the
big British army. No one knows just
how large the British army is, but it
has been stated on good authority
that despite the heavy losses which
the English sustained in the drive,
fresh troops were sent across the
channel about as fast as the Germans
put the defenders out Of business. II
looks very much as tho the Allies
have larger army on the western
front than the Germans, altho Can
adam officer who spoke in Mlnot re-
| Gently, declared that Germany had
million more men on the western front
than the Allies. When Kaiser Bill
started the war in 1914, he had an ar
my of 100000 and year later that
army had grown the 100000 and a
wear later to 100000. In August,
1917. the size of the army had been
cut down to 100000, but now it is
about 100000 fewer, owing to the
March drive mainly. The German
army's total loss in the war is placed
at 100000. Germany is willing to
sacrifice 100000 in order to break
thru the British line. The Allies are
holding the line with as few men as
possible, using their deadly weapons
on the Germans and outstanding their
resources until General Foch says the
l word. when the Allies grand offensive
4 will start. This may not be this year.
I It may be next year when America
/ will be over there in great force.

NORWICH BOY BATTLES

]. Harold MusselI Commended by His
 Commander.

J. Harold Mussell, son of John H. Mussel and who is with the U. s. forces on the Mexican frontier, writes home that he is in the best of health and sends a copy of the official report of the battle of Buena Vista, in which he and others of the small detachment were highly commended for gallantry The account, which will go down in government records, follows:
 1. On Nov. 30 the colonel at Maria received a telephonic message from J. F. Tigner, a rancher, living in San Antonio canyon, near San Jose, on the Rio Grande, that Mexican bandits had stolen some cattle from his ranch.
 ?. The colonel telephoned Lieutan- ant Matlack to meet MT. Tigner and investigate. Lieutenant Matlack re- ported by telephone "hot traip' and was directed to follow it with a de- tachment of K troop. Crossing the Rio Grande above the camp at Indio, followed the trail and heard firing by Mexicans on the camp. but believing it to be a ruse, continued southwest wardly toward the settlement of Buena Vista, the cattle tracks leading to this village. The bandits had ambushed themselves here and fired on detach = ment. Lieut<Sant Matlack charged into the midst of the bandits, divided his detachment, placing his men so they would not fire upon each other, and engaged the bandits bristly for F minutes. until endorsements reach ed the bandits, making them largely outnumber his own men. He retired with his detachment across the Rio Grande and reported to Captain Theo- dore Barnes, Jr., who was near by with the machine gun and L troops Upon checking detachment, a corporal Private Riggs of the sanitary detach- ment, MT.
