w. B. Richards, former professor
Of animal husbandry at the North
Dakota Agricultural college, and for
the last four years engaged in coun-
ty agent work with headquarters at
Glendale, N. D., has been elected
county agent for Cass county. it was
announced today by Secretary B. H.
Critchfield of the recently organ
ICED Cass County Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Richards will take up work in
Cass county Immediately, and the
first feature with which he will deal
will be that Of labor and seed corn,
while he will give special attention
to the development of the countys
livestock interests in accordance
with the general program laid down
by the bureau.
Finances for the farm bureau are
provided for under an annual ap-
preparation of $2,500, made by the
county commissioners of Cass coun-
ty; by a federal grant of S1,440 q
year, and by the income from mem
berships. Already nearly 500 farm
ers have Joined the bureau, paying

(BY Associated Press.

London, Feb. IS. - A
deep, serious schism has
been created between Ger
many and Austria-Hungary
by the termination of the
armistice between the cen
tral powers and Russia, and
the renewal of a state of
war, according to the Cop

The Austrian press, con-
tinues the correspondent, is
warning Germany against
the reopening of hostilities,
in which Austria does not
wish to participate. The
Neue .Freie Presse is quoted
as pointing out that the
Austrian monarchy no long

is not, like Germany, COM
PEELED to resume warfare.
The only thing Austria
do against its will,
says the newspaper, is to
protect the free connection

activity alona the front lines. Not
only do American soldiers hold .

fantryHen in company with French
units are holding the front lines in
one Of the most famous battlsfronts
in the world.

place where ruined villages and
devastated country tell OF hard
fought battles In which the Germans
push forward only to be driven back

are we'll equipped to deal with the
enemy and their officers with diff
ficulty restrain them from attacking
the Germans Rt every opportunity.
On the American sector, especially,
the Germans have tried various russs
in an endeavor to outWit the new
corners in the battle line, but in vain.
Raids have had no effect. The en-
amy has tapped and destroyed tele-
phone lines; he has sent up false
signals and has charged his wire en-
tanulemontB with electricity, but he
has been out t-maneuvered each time.
Except for q few small raids, only
the artillery has been active at
various points on the British. French
and American fronts. British air
men have been intensely busy drop
Pima bombs and downing enemy ma
chimes. Seventeen German airplanea
were brought down by the British
Saturday and seven more disabled.
The British Losses were five.

LOOK ASKANCE AT
CAMP PAIGN NOWON
TO RAISE FIXED
PRICE OF WHEAT
Government Officials Be-
ieVe 1t Would Reopen
the Labor Question
Especially

Washington, Feb. Is.-The drive
being made by farmers in both the
winter and spring wheat belts for an
increase in the 1918 government
| price guarantee Of 50 a bushel has
taken on serious proportions and is
giving the administration much con-
| cern.
A higher price for wheat is regard
ed out OF the I question. II would
serve as another opportunity to bring
up the wage problem, the argument
| that the worker, in the face Of in
creased cost Of bread, is entitled to
more money. For this reason those
in authority here will insist on con-
gress keeping its hands off one Of the
two or three commodities Of which
prices have been stabilized.
Sentiment Opposes Rise.
Sentiment in congress now is
against increasing the price Of wheat.
The agitation from the rural district
is becoming so strong, however, this
may be overcome by the time the
numerous bills introduced are con-
sidered by the agricultural commit
tees.
The flood Of wheat price measures
introduced this week was unexpect-
ed. And more are to come. The
prices proposed vary from $3.50 to So
a bushel. An effort is being made
by some OF those urging an increase
to get together on $3.50 or S276.
There seems to be little doubt the
present agitation Is chargea.bIe to
the governments failure 10 fix prices
on commodities purchased by the
farmers. The chief argument ad-
vanced for increasing the price OF
wheat ID that the present arrange
ment is a one-sided affair, the farm
eF being the victim of a comparative
~ low price in selling and victim
Of high prices, when he buys
Price Fixing Urged.
One way suggested for the admin
tstratiOn to head of the new wheat
price drive is to enact general price
fixing legislation. With defnit8
prices on the things he must buy ii
is believed the farmer will have little
ground for complaint.
In some quarters it was hinted the
agitation for an increased wheat
price has, as its real purpose. the
forcing OF the administratfon's hand
on the subject OF price fixing on all
necessities. Those holding this view
said the speCtar Of higher priced
bread likely would bring from its
hiding In the desk Of the chairman OF
the house committee on agriculture
a general price fixing measure sent
to the capitol about a month ago by
certain officials.
