THE CHANCE OF YOUR

l.
BOY GETTING BACK
Here is something encouraging for
fathers and mothers who have sons IN
the army. There is in the province
of Quebec, Canada, a military hospl-
tails commission which, fortunately
has been keeping account of the man.
ner in which Canadian troops have
Jared on European battlefields. we
have heard so much about the high
percentage of casualties among the
Canadian troops that it has come to
be believed pretty generally by the
people of this country that American
boys who go to fight in France are
likely to have very poor chance ia
come home alive or free from injuries
that will disable them for life. BaslnG
it's computations upon the eXperlen'
ces of Canadian soldiers in the war
the military hospitals commission fur
nishes these statistics:
The boy who goes to the front has
tWenty-nine chances to come home, as
against one that he will be killed.
He has ninety eight chances to re.
cover from wound, against two thai
he will die because of wounds received
in battle.
There is one chance in five hundred
that he will lose an arm or leg.
It is explained also that in this wa,
only one man dies from disease as
against ten to fifteen who fell victim;
Of various diseases in other wars
This estimate is proportional.
But 10 per cent of the Canadian sol
diers disabled on the battletields are

Farmers are disappointed over the
price that they are required to pay for
mill feed-bran and shorts, $500 per
ton in Minot. This includes $5.15 for
the sacks. The price by the car
might be reduced to about $3.50 per
ton, but farmers who have tried to buy
this by the car have been able to Sc
cure the feed only in smaller quanti-
ties. Professor Ladd placed an esti-
mate of $25.85 per ton for bran and
$27.85 for middlings, F. o. B. the car
in bulk, based on the price of $205
per bushel for wheat. Farmers had
hoped to be able to secure this feed
for about $4,000 per ton and the diff
ference will amount to a big round
sum in this section of the state. The
mills are selling none, of this feed in
the bulk and say that there is such a
demand for the feed that they are
practically sold out for three or four
weeks ahead. The farmers return
ing the sacks get ten cents each for

The government ordered closed prac-
tically every industry east of the Mis-
sissippi for a period of five days, be-
ginning last Friday and such indus
tries must remain closed on Sundays
and Mondays for a period of ten
weeks. This order was brought about
by the congestion of traffic along the
seaboard. There were trainloads of
munitions and other supplies for our
allies and our own army in France,
ready to be loaded onto ships, and
there are ships loaded with supplies
awaiting the arrival of coal before
they can start on their journeys. Gar
fields closing order called forth a
storm of protest from the various
manufacturing concerns and the SEN
ate passed resolutions unfavorable to
the order, for all realized that it
meant business paralysis. In this is
sue Congressman Norton writing
about the situation, points out the
weakness of the government and sug-
gests that there ought to be shak-
ing up down at Washington. The Am
erican people are good natured and
patriotic, yet if this war is to be won,
there will have to be a general speed
ing up. There has been positive suf-
fering throughout the east on account
of lack of fuel which has democrat
lied business in general.

The government officials are round
ing up German spies who appear to
have been at work in every state in
the Union and in practically every
good sized city as well as in many of
the smaller towns. Publishers of Ger
man papers appear to have been very
active German agents and without a
question millions of dollars of Ger
man money has been spent through
these publications to foster an anti
American spirit. In South Dakota
two German editors have just been
arrested and it has been shown con-
clusively that they collected and sent
thousands of dollars to Bernstorff
former German ambassador. We know
what would have been done had any
American editors been caught in such
acts in Germany. It would have meant
a short trial and a firing squad at
dawn or at any other convenient time
Uncle Sam has been patient with his
foreign-born enemies but perhaps
there is limit even to that patience

our country during this serious period

There are so many dopes and con-
coctions used as substitute for IL
quor, that when a new one is sprung
on a revenue Deer, he never bats an
eve. In North Carolina two moon
sinners got into a quarrel few days
ago, with the result that one "snitch-
ed" on the other, and told his business
secrets in court. Here is the receipt
for what is known as white Light
ming" One blu. corn meal, 100 lbs.
sugar, 2 cans lye, plugs tobacco, 4
lbs. pokeroot berries, 2 lbs. soda,
water to measure and distill. The

chase him under the granary.

The season of the year is at hand
when one can expect to hear political
rumblngs at most any time, and while
none of the candidates for the vari-
GUS county offices have made known
their intentions, there will certainly be
enough men to fill the various places.
One of the most coveted offices is that
of sheriff. The present incumbent,
John j. Nedreloe, is serving his sec
ond term, therefore cannot be can
didate for reelection. Peter Vanden-
oever, who has served the First dis
trict, Ward county, as commissioner
for many years, is mentioned as a pos
sible candidate although he has made
no formal announcement.
