The Germans have lost thousands of their machine guns by such tactics but they have saved pro- portionately in men.
 It is this evident intention to save manpower, so different from their at titude earlier in the war, that has gone far towards convincing many that their big military machine is cracking and that they will not be able to withstand a winter campaign.

 Every backward step of the enemy vas guarded by the automatic gun. Get back the artillery and the bulk oF the infantry was the order repeated in the German army as the French and Americans prodded them. In al most every instance the rear guard action meant the resistance of little machine gun units and because Of the clever manner in which the nests were placed they were able to hold their own long enough to enable the main armies behind them to fall back.
 They were not always placed ia lines but left here and there just over the brow of hill or in the deep woods, on the ground and in the trees and al most always skillfully camouflaged

BIG N0NPARTlSAN
AUTOMOBILE PARADE
About 200 Cars Bedecked With Lind.
bergh Banners, Visit Warren and
Other Towns Today.

The most strange and remarkable
scene of political nature that has
been witnessed here since the days
of the Peoples party movement, more
than twenty years ago, was the big
NOnpartisan automobile parade that
passed thru Warren and other towns in
the county today. Long strings of cars,
said to have exceeded 200 in number
all together. and bedecked with ban
ners inscribed "Lindbergh for Cover
nor, passed thru town at different in
tervalS. The cars were from all parts
OF the county and their occupants were
serious minded farmers and their fam
lilies. The tour was undertaken in the
interest of Mr.. Lindbergh's candidacy
for governor, he being endorsed by the
League, and also, perhaps, for the pur-
pose of showing the town people how
the farmers, many of them, feel about
the matter of the governOrship. A
large number of the farmers have sons
in the L. S. army and all of them are
doing their best to raise big crops with
which to feed the people Of this country
and OF other countries. .

SEVERELY INJURED
BY BLOW ON HEAD

An Austrian railway laborer at
Angus was severely injured in a
quarrel with another laborer, on Mon
day morning. The injured man was
brought to Warren on the local and
taken to DR.. Wattam's hospital. The
assailant, who is said to be a sixteen
year old boy, struck the Austrian on
the head with shovel, after heated
argument, injecting injury that was
feared might be fatal. According to
latest report the man is improving.
The young assailant proceeded atAonce
to the sheriff's office and gave himself
up to the authorities.

CUTWORMS AT WORK.

Notice has come to the Farm Bureau
Office of Marshall county that the cut
worms are at work, not only in gar
dens, where they usually do their dam
age, but they have appeared in large
quantities in flax fields. One field of
flax has been visited where % to 10 Go
of the crop is killed. and the worms are
still working rapidly.
Farmers will do we'll to look over all
their fields of spring plowed land. no
matter what it is seeded to- The SER
ious damage has been found in every
case on spring plowed sod. while prac-
tlcally no damage is reported on fall
plowed land. This fact is worth keep
ing in mind for future years.
The reason for this is that the worm
burrows into dry sod land in the fall
of the year, spending the winter in that
way. If this sod is plowed in the fall
of the year, this burrowing place or
shelter is destroyed, exposing the worm
to moisture and cold and he dies as a
consequence.
If, on the other hand, sod land is
plowed in the spring of the year, the
worm has been permitted to remain
undisturbed and well protected during
the winter, and a much greater per-
centage will live through. Again, let
fall blowing be emphasized.
A cheap and effective method of kill
ing the cutworm is to spray the whole
field with potato sprayer, using ar
senate Of lead, lbs. Of the powder or
lbs. Of the paste to SO gallons Of
water. Sodium arsenite could also be
used. 1 Id. to 60 gallons of water. Mo-
lasses, 2 quarts to so or 60 gallons,
would increase the attractiveness to
the worms, but is not strictly neces-
sary. ~.:.sW
Avoid spraying. just before rain as
the spray will largely wash off.

GOV. J. A. BURNQUlST
CORDIALLY RECEIVED
Delivered Eloquent Patriotic Address
to Large Audience in Warren Last
Saturday Afternoon.

GOV. Burnqulst was given a cordial
reception at Warren last Saturday
afternoon. He arrived on the local
from the north and at the depot he
was met by the Warren Home Guard
and the Battalion Band and escorted to
the Strand Theatre, where a large
audience had assembled to hear him
speak on the political questions Of the
day. He was introduced by County
Attorney A. N. Eckstrom. The COVER
nor has clear, strong voice and he
delivered a ringing address on the war,
which was the only question discussed.
He pleaded for the united and un-
sWervlng support Of the government in
Its battle for, justice and right against
the autocracy Of Germany, and that
was in reality the key note of his
speech. So long as he was governor.
he declared, he would do all in his
power to prevent the firing of bullets
OF disloyalty into the backs of the boys
who are fighting at the front. The
more divided we are and the less we
contribute in men and money to the
war, the more lives we are going to
lose and the longer the struggle will
last. A citizen that likes some other
country better than America should be
deprived of his citizenship, interned
until the end of the war and then sent
back to the country he likes better He
spoke eloquently Of the difference in
ideals and aspirations of the autocratic
governments of Germany and her allies
and the democratic nations arrayed
against them. One appeals to brute
force, the other to the Christian princi-
pies of justice and right. The COVER
nor was frequently applauded during
his address and at it's close was escort
ed to the hotel by the Home Guard and
Band and from there to the 500 depot
where he boarded the evening train for
Thief River Falls.
The reception accorded the governor
left no room to doubt what the pre-
dominant sentiment is in Warren as to
his denomination for tle office Of chief
executive Of the state

THREE CENTS A mile !.
ON RAILROADS
Increase in Passenger and Freight
Rates Made by McAdoO.

Director General McAdoo has issued
an order which increases railroad rates
in the United States 25 per cent and
passenger fares to cents a mile.

meet the cost Of highr wages and high
er fuel cost and other supplies. 1t is
estimated that the new rates will bring
between $S00,000,00O and $9O0,0OO,OOO
more revenues to the railroads within
the next year.
The freight rate increase will be
effective June 25 and the passenger
fare June 10. Travellers on standard
