Farm Department
N. D. GUERRY, Editor,

| have just returned from the
annual agents meeting that Was
held a Gulfport this year.
1t is needless to say that every
one who went had a good tins
but aside from that it was one
of the best and most instructive
meetings it has ever been my
fortune to attend. 1t W. impos-
sible for anyone to attend this
meeting and hear the messages
that were brought without get
ting a larger grasp of the prob
lens ahead of us, and feel like
rolling up his sleeves to the
tasks.
The boys are today leading
their fathers in the right lines
as the dads have never been
led before. There are %,
club boys in Miss. today who are
making record crops of corn and
are growing the best hogs, and,
due to their efforts, Miss. will
soon be a leading hog and corn
state. Our boys boys today will
be our farmers tomorrow. We
must give them every advantage.
For the benefit of those boys
who are in the club work in this
county we are going to hold our
annual school at Buena Vista be-
ginning on Aug. the 10, AS you
remember this school was a
great success last year and all
the boys who attended are anx-
ious for the time to come. We
have arranged for the very best
lecturers from the A. & M. Col
lege to come and give US the
topics of the day. In addition
to this we will have the most
efficient aid of the high school.
The school is open to every one
and it is worth anyone's time to
find out what good high school
we have at Buena. The school
will last from Monday until
Thursday and on Thursday the
Business Mems Club of Okolona
is going to give my club boys a
trip to the A. & M. College.
This trip will be free for the
boys except for the meals which
will cost about Is cents apeice,
at the college. The cars will
leave Buena Vista in the morn
ing Thursday Aug. 22 and will
return the next day.
| will cay that all people who
ewn cars are invited to go along
with US, lodging will be free and
meals at cost so that you have
tie best opportunity possible to
this great institution.
AS | became reacquainted with
the great forward movements
that so many of the counties are
making in the lines of agricul-
ture under the guidance of the
agents, | was able to visualize
the great possibilities that lie in
wait for the people of Chickasaw
County if they will only bestir
themselves.
The time is coming when a
nice farm home and a big auto
mobile will no longer be the rare
exception, and the farmers Of
this section will have money to
loan instead of always wanting
60 borrow. The sooner all of us
get this picture in our minds the
sooner it will come true.
On July the fifth | shipped the

advertised so long. | had hoped

A. A.. Kaiser Of Fried, N. D., who is
now with the United States military
forces, bought a box Of cigarettes in
Valley City some weeks ago he prob
ably did not expect that part Of them
would ne smoked by the deputy sher-

alleged thieves.
According to testimony out Satur-
day in the trial of James Crawford
on a charge Of larceny, such was the
experience Of the aforesaid coffin

the store was robbed. Jamestown

searched the crawford home. and
found la%'hox with Kaiser's name on
it and eight cartons OF cigarettes
within. ~
Another peculiar thing about. the
affair is that: Katssr. according to The

People OF Sweden Not
Allowed To Discuss War

jamestown, N. D., May 13.-Com-
ing across the Atlantic on a Norwe-
gtan steamer that made a circuitous
route way to the north Of ireland,
Charles Anderson returned this week
from Sweden. where he has been To-
Gated the last four years. He went
to. the old country just prior to the
war, and has had a chance to view
conditions in a neutral country that
has been greatly wrought UP over the
international situation:
He states that the people of Swe-
den are not allowed to discuss the
war, but are forced to be very non
mommital rs to their own opinions of
what Sweden ought to do DR. Is to
which side is in the right. The mill
tary. element, he says. appear to lean
townard Germany, while the COM
mon people, observing the fate of
Finland, are inclined to favor tho
cause OF. the allied countries. The
legislative body. in Sweden, also, is
favorable~to the allied cause. They
fear that Germany's intentions for
the future include the subjugation of
all Russia, and naturally they fear
for their own future.
The food situation in Sweden is far
from satisfactory, and promises to be
worse before another harvest. Much
Of the food supply has been sent to
Germany, Mr.. Anderson states.

month. General Carey it was who
prevented the Germans from separat-

General Cough, in charge of the Fifth
army, blundered.
There was a gap in the allied lines
and the Teutons were pouring.
through it. To halt the advancing
Germans General Carey employed d
motley array OF fighters and nom

laborers who had been, working close
to the lines, he armed them with any
weapons he could find. Then he led
his strange army into the gap the Ger
mans had made and in a hand-to-
hand encounter stopped the enemy
advance until the arrival of fresh
troops removed the danger of German
success at this point.
