CONGRESS AND THE PACKERS
A bill for the taking over and op-
Grafton of the principal stockyards
of the country, along with the refng-
orator cars and cattle cars, by the
railroad administration, and for the
taking over and operation of the
branch houses and storage ware
houses of the big packers by the gov
eminent, as recommended by the fed
eral trade commission in its report
on the packing trust, is now being
drafted.
This bill will be submitted to the
senate and house. Committee hear
ings will be held. Members of the
federal trade commission, their ex-
perts, probably including Francis J.
Heney, and some of the biggest of
the robber barons among the packers
will be called as witnesses. Then
the whole fight will go to the floor
of the house and to the floor of thu
senate, on report of the bill from
committee.

ERANS OF '6l-'65

So they go; those who stayed to-
gether so long that they almost for
got there was any other world than
their's-the world which woke at rev.
eilee and slept at "taps;" who lived in
toll and danger, wet not unhappily,
learning to make jest Of "battle and
sudden death" such as in the Litany
we pray in peace to be delivered from.
No fortunes had they to give or
lose; no dreams of loss to murder
sleep; no debtors they nor yet credi-
tors; if by any chance either, death,
if it came settled all accounts. So
they lived, and chose each man his
comrade true; for sickness and health,
for prosperity and adversely, till, as
often happened, death did them part.
And those who lived through it all,
scattered about the wide world, they
are parting now. Every day the roll
grows shorter; every day they are
called and answer not. And will they
meet again? Is there not somewhere
another rally? Will not some bugle,
it's sweet echoes ringing amid shining
and eternal mountains, summon them
to meet with clasping hands and shin
ing eyes? There needs no other
heaven.

AMERICANS USED
FAMILIAR WEAPONS

With the American Army in
Picardy, May 29.-In the hand to
hand fighting the Americans used
the weapon they have learned to
love-the bayonet. The Boche
wheel like pigs when faced with the
cold steel, and presented a polyglot
mass, ranging IS to 19 year old
boys to men of IS, and are all suf-
fering from shell shock as a result
of the heavy bombardment that pre-
ceded the offensive at the Aisne.
French officers give high praise to
the high spirit of the Americans,
who not only show no hesitation
but the officers could hardly hold
them back. So anxious was the
group of Germans to be captured
that they ran towards a war cor
respondent who went over the top
with the boys and tried to get him
to take them captive. I The CORES
pondent was finally nonplussed. His
name is Jimmie Hopper and he
called to an officer and said, "Come

RER CROSS RALLY
VERY SUCCESSFUL

In spite of the near cloud burst
which that region experienced last
week the Saturday evening meeting
and sale Of the Grand Prairie Red

most enthusiastic audience.

STATE COUNCIL 4.
SEXES LAND

Bismarck, May 23.-T. J. Nielsen,
of Pembina county and Charles Whit
mer of Olive county were today nam
ed by the State Council of Defense as
the men who are to look after the
planting of the idle acres of the A.
D. Gaines holdings in Oliver county.
The order Of the council follows
the passing of a resolution yesterday
looking towards the cultivation of
every possible acre Of land in the
state pursuant to the recommendation
of the Federal Food administration.
While Messrs. Nielsen and Whit
mer are not to actually superintend
the work on the farm they will make
arrangements for securing the mach
inery with which the work will be
done and will see that labor is
secured. Under the order of the coun-
Gil Mr.. Gaines will receive only one
tenth of the product of this soil and
those who work it this year will be
allowed to hold it for an additional
year.
The state council Of defense also
issued a special order directing E. J.
Platen of Dunn Center to take pos
session of section OF land near that
village and which is owned by non
resident and plant it to fax with the
understanding that Mr.. Platen is to
have possession of the section next
year and plant it to wheat. Mr..
Platen, it is understood has a plow-
ing outfit which is standing idle at
the present time and it is also stated
that he had previously attempted to
lease this certain section but without
success.
It is probable that other orders of
the same kind will be issued as soon
as the state council is advised as to
the location Of idle land. Attorney
General William LANCER is at the
present time conducting a census
which has as it's object the listing OF
all available land in the state.
