Adam Lung, q well known resident
Of the Glencoe country, died st the
st. Alexius hospital in Bismarck last
Saturday morning following brief
illness with influenza. Ths sad fea-
.ture Of this is that his wifs died Of
pneumonia just the week before and
three little orphans are left to grow
up among strangers. The remains
ware brought to Glencoe and intern
ed in the cemtery there Sunday.
Being late this week enables US to
announce the return home Of one Of
our soldier boys-Joseph Rush. Mr..
Rush has bean ct Camp Dodge for
some months, but failed to pass the
overseas examination on account Of
his eyes. He returned Thursday
evening. Mr.. Rush informs Us that
they are turning loose all men who
did not pass overseas examinations,
and expect to send at least 1000 men
home during the next few weeks.

ST. w. Petris. Of Linton was q
visitor in the Village last Sunday
might while on his way home from
Fargo, where he was recently dis.
carged from the training school al
the A. C. His car went wrong about
three miles south of town and he was
compelled to hoof it back to town and
stay over night. In the morning
phoned his brother Harry, who came
up and took him home, together with
the crippled car. He had driven the
car to Bismarck on his way to Fargo
when he was called, leaving it there
to be repaired so that the '.kids" al
home might have use Of it while he
was away.
Word came down from Bismarck
this morning of the death of Rolla
Mathews, one of our best known
young farmers of the northwest
country. Mr.. Mathews had been i'll
with influenza for some weeks at the
Bismarck hospital and was considered
to be getting along nicely. In fact
had recovered sufficiently as to be
able to sit up. But early this morn.
ing his heart became affected and he
died at 1850 o'clock. Besides his wifs
and boy Of 2 years, deceased is sur.
vivsd by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Mathews of Hazelton and othe,
relatives. The community will
greatly miss Rolla, with his sunny
disposition and manly ways and
scores Of friends offer their deepest
sympathy to the mourning relatives

Messengers Of Death.

There are about 200 separate ana
distinct kinds Of shells fired from Ger
man guns. and each and every n Of
them has been given ut least nick
name by the Tommies. according to
London Tit-Rits. Some of them have
been given several.
The biggest kind Of high explosive
shells, for instance, are known in
differently as DIRTY Dicks Jack
Joinsons.' "COai Boxes" Flower
Pots" "Crumps,' "Black Peters or
'.Whistling Willies."
The smaller kind are s'Blnck Ma
rias" and "Wooliy Bears according to
whether the smoke they emit when
bursting is black, or white with q vel
iowish tingc.
High explosive shrapnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively "whizz-
bangs and "pip-squcaks," from their
habit Of giving only those warnings of
their approach. "1Archibalds' are anti
aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel
projectiles are Little Willies."

CARE OF MACHINERY
Farm Implements Depreciate More in
Value From Neglect Than From
Actual Use.

Farm machinery depreciates in value
more rapidly from poor care than from
actual use. That is, a larger part OF
the 10 per cent annual depreciation is
caused by exposure than by use.
A 16O-acre farm needs about $1,000
worth of machinery. Ten per cent
depreciation means 500 every year and
more than $50 Of this Is lost through
lack Of care. Sheds for this machin-
cry would cost about $500, which at 9
per cent a year would mean $12. The
difference between $50 and SIP cannot
oil be credited to profit, for part Of
the are Of machinery lies In labor and
material. Still there would be a fair
margin. Housing, repairing at the
proper time, and painting the wooden
parts are three essentials in the care
Of machinery.

Need Parcel Post Facilities.

One Of the most urgent necessities
In behalf Of the American export
trade with Paraguay is the establish
ment Of q large parcel post system
with this country. writes Consul Henry
H. Balch, Asuncion. AS there are very
few large distributing houses In Par
aguny practically all the important
mercantile establishments import their
| goods direct from the foreign mar
kets. and rs many Of the orders are
| small or for goods that do not occupy
much space the parcel post is extern
sively used by the average Paraguay
| an importer.
A good percentage of the large trade
that Germany, England, and France
had with this country at the beginning
| Of the war was developed through the
parcel post system that those cOun-
tries maintain with Paraguay. Mer-
chants frequently state that they
| would turn much of their trade to the
United States which has hitherto gone
to Europe if there were a parcel post
convenience. In fact, parcel post or
dcrs from the United States are rath-
err frequently received by Asuncion
merchants through third parties To-
Gated in Buenos Airs.

Houand's FOREIGN Trade.

The I'm en- Uitvoer" publishes
the following analysis Of Dutch for
cign trade during the first half of
1917:
The value Of the leading articles
imported into Holland from Germany,
or rather, Of those articles which are
Included In the official figures Of the
central bureau OF statistics ("Maand-
statistiek Al Gen In en- Uitvoer en-
van het Entrepotverkeer"). In the first
|quarter Of the year was 25,365. 1O7 Cor
ms (about so, 100000 at exchange Of
@0.41). and, In the second quarter. 49,
2S4,0O6 forms (abOut $18.561,O 0O). q
total Of 7O.649,718 horins In the first
six months Of 1917. The value Of the
chief articles exported to Germany was
40,247,5 $50 forms (about so. l01, 500
in the first quarter and 52,841.2O2 hor-
ms <about $21, 865, O0O) in the second,
or O2,088,7 TT forms for the half year.
Thus, in the first quarter Holland sent
almost twice as much to Germany as
II received, but In the second quarter
the import trade with Germany almost
balanced the export trade.

BUREAUS FOR FARM

tons.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The counties which have been most
active In cooperating with their y
ty agents are, with rare exceptions,
the ones which are reaping the great
est benefits from their services. Ex-
p~erience shows that help and advice
Of the farmers themselves r neces-
sary to the success Of county agent
work, and the support Of both rural
and urban population is needed. The
means Of securing this local support
which has been found most effective
in the extension work In the northern
and western states, officials of the
United States department Of agricnl-
ture say, is to establish a county or
g%anization usually known as a farm
bureau" In a guide recently pub
llshed by the department and known
as Handbook of Farm Bureau Organi-
cation for County Agricultural
Agents." detailed suggestions are Civ
en- for forming such IN organization.
The plan outlined can be adapted read
lily to the various conditions of differ
cnt counties. 1t may be established
in counties having inefficient %organiza-
tions, i'm counties contemplating the
employment Of an agent, and in places
where the agent Is now unsupported
by a local county organization.
Functions Of Organization.
The chief functions OF a county or
g%anization, as outlined In the hand
book are:
L. To coordinate tile efforts Of ex-
listing local agricultural forces, either
organized or unorganized, and to or
ganize new lines Of effort. 1t does not
supplant any existing organizations or
compete with them. but establishes q
clearing house through which all may
Increase their efficiency without in any
way surrendering their individuality.
2. To bring to the agent the coun-
sci and cooperation Of the best farm
ers in the county in planning and exc
cutting an agricultural Improvement
program.
8. To furnish the necessary local
machinery for easily and quickly
reaching every community In the coun-
ty with information Of value to that
community or to the county as q
whole.
A. To encourage self-help through
developing and exercising leadership
in the rural affairs Of each community.
s. To reveal - all the people Of the
county the agricultural possibilities OF
the county and how they may be real
tied.

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS AND WAR
Drawings Give Leaders = comprehen.
sive View Of the Important
Geographic Relations.

It has been said that many OF the
battles Of the Civil war would never
have been fought had there been topo-
graphic maps, for those in command
could have studied a map of the coun
try about them and they would never
have subjected their men to such
marches as were made and then have
expected their me to fight, states 4
student of military engineering. But
topography In Its general sense and as
1t Is shown today on the maps Of the
geological survey was little known in
the sixties. The engineer corps of the
army was highly efficient, even at that
time, but the topographic engineer did
not appear In the American army until
August Q. 1851, when an act Of con-
gress authorized the enlistment Of ono
company Of topographic engineers.
This company was afterward merged
into the corps of engineers.
Today within the wide boundaries OF
our country, which embraces more than
100000 square miles, there are a hun
dred million people. They live on
farms, In villages and in towns and
cities. Their dwelling places may be
separated by broad rivers and rugged
mountains, but the use of the topo-
graphic map is gradually knitting
them systematically together. and at
my time that this widespread popula-
ton may be required to move in con-
certed action for u common cause the
topographic map will give the leaders
O comprehensive view Of the geo.
graphic relations, so that the problem
Of moving car be solved more quickly
and with better Judgment. The topo-
graphic map, 1t is pointed out by ex-
! perts Of the survey. like the telephone
and the typewriter. has become a ne
cessity, and we wonder now how we
have ever done without It.
The IMAM I'm the street" may have
thought little of the value of the work
of the topographic engineer, and to him
and others who have not considered
the Importance Of that work some H.
lustrations of its value might be in
teresting.
A w~eIl-known author, soldier and
topographic engineer found the topo-
graphic maps Of the survey indispensa-
bic in every branch of his work. BY
studying a country before going into
II he became so familiar with the de-
tails OF many interesting features Of
which the natives had new heard that
his stories acquired a realism that
could not have been infused into them
had he dwelt in the country a lifetime.
Agnin. Is cents spent by a reclama-
ton engineer in connection with a
private engineering project saved his
company $1,000 and established a pro-
ject which would never have seemed
possible had not the three topographic
maps he purchased given him a com
prehensive view Of several hundred
square miles of country. where the
drainage problems are most intricate
and delicate. Many such examples are
cited by officials Of the survey.
