House cleaning and gardening will
come as sure as May. Let's act &C.
cordingly, doubling our shipments for
the months of March and April. We
have an abundance of yarn for knit
ting. Call on Mrs. Walker for sock
yarn, Miss Prinyer for yarn for sweat
ers, Mrs. Docksteader for yarn for
miscellaneous knitting, which means
anything extra that our government
calls for. Mrs. Kennedy is in charge
of the yarn for South Langdon. Re.
turn to the person from whom you
received the yarn all articles knitted
from it. She is held responsible and
the yarn is not only expensive but is
scarce and hard to buy. Be as prompt
as possible in turning in your work.
Have a knitting bag, even if it is
only a flour sack with a Fed Cross
on 1T. Keep necessary knitting articles
in 1t. Next in Importance to the
yarn and needles ia the book of in.
tructions and a foot rule. You can
not follow the instructions without a
rule for taking measurements. When
using either extra heavy or extra
light yarn. measure to see that the
sock, fer example. has the right pro-
portions, which should be not more
than a inches across the leg and d
inches across the foot. The foot
should measure not less than ten in
ches, and not more than IL inches
and the leg IL inches before the heel
and a 3 inch heel. The sweater 8 now
made % inches from the neck to the
bottom. Red Cross needles, No. 3 is
the size. Too coarse a needle makes
toe broad and open a garment, which
will neither he warm nor hold shape.
In order to facilitate the work of the
packing committee, the Langdon
branch is asked to hand in all articles
ready for shipment on March 25th.
Otherwise they cannot do the work
in one day for the Chapter. To this
end a knitting rally will be held at
the G. M. Price home on Saturday,
March 23rd. Turn in to your chair.

NO ELECTION
NO COMMISSIONERS ELECTED IN
YESTERDAYS EFFORT-TRY
AGAIN NEXT TUESDAY.

OF a total vote cast of 612 and five
candidates for commissioner in the
field, no n of them got a majority.
Joseph Henkin, with the largest vote
Of any Of the contestants, fell more
than 100 votes short of the number
required to elect, and his next near
east competitor, C. A.. Kelley, with
1873 votes, was still short 169 of the
desired number. The numbers re-
ceived by each candidate was widely
recount or canvass of the vote un-
necessary to find the relative posi-
tion of the candidate with the cleo
tors-each Seems to be perfectly con-
WINGED, If not satisfied.
On Tuesday of next week another
election will be held to decide be-
ween Messrs. Henkin and Kelley,
the two high men On the list. With
the number that was in the field in
yesterdays effort, it might be con-
sidered as something of a primary
affair, or process of elimination.
Now the voters must console them
selves with the one next in favor to
their previous choice, and decide on
the one who to them is the Least un-
desirable. Whether there will be
much T. N. T. and pep injected into
the final campaign as there was in
the preliminary skirmish remains to
be seen. OF course, with the remov-
al of three candidates it will remove
a certain amount of high explosive
whether it reduces its degrees of in
tenSitY or not.

Washington, ID. c., April IL
Iowa mothers are given credit for
higher patriotism and Iowa soldiers
are given equal credit for devotion

AS the result of an investigation just
concluded of causes for recent deser-
lions in the national guard camps.
During the month of February
there yer more than 900 assertions
in the national guard camps. Penn
sylvania's national guard division at
Augusta, Ca, had more than 100 OF
this total. The Thirty-fourth di-
vision at Camp Cody, of which the
Iowa national guardsmen are a part.
had only four assertions in the
month, the lowest at any of the
camps.
Where the mothers come in for
praise is that it has been established
by investigation that 80 per cent OF
the assertions were due to letters re-
ceived by soldiers from their moth
ers, telling the boys how much they
were missed and how the mothers
wished they were home. Homesick-
ness brought on by these gloomy let

GENERAL HAIG'S
Line IMPERILED
BRITISH WITHDRAW TO NEW
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BAT
THING DESPERATELY.

London, April 1.-THE British
positions before Ypres have been
withdrawn to a new line. Accord
ing to an Exchange Telegraph dis
patch from Paris, the Germans have
advanced from Wytschaete as far as
st. Eloi and also have a grip on the
southern slopes of Mt. KENNEL. The
British have recaptured Meteren, on
the northern battle front, by a coun-
ter attack, it is announced officially.
South of Arras, the Germans were
driven out of British trenches into
which they had forced their way.
Early this morning the German ar
tillery became more active south of
the Somme. The British made a sue
cessful counter attack in the neigh
borhood of Wytschaete. Repeated
German attacks north of Bailleul
were repulsed. the Germans suffer
ing heavy losses.
Having driven the British from
Bailleul and Wytschaete, the Ger
mans are battling desperately to gain
other points on the high ground
south and southwest of Ypres. Aft
er fighting with huge forces for eight
days the Germans Tuesday got out
of the lowlands, but to make their
gains secure they must push on fur
Their. The British, resisting every
step of the way, are striking back
doggedly.
The situation, it is admitted in
London, is o serious than at any
time since the German drive in the
north began. Some British newspa-
pares already advise the evacuation
of the hard-won sector of Ypres and
the Passchendaele ridge which is a
continuation of the Messines ridge.
Premier Lloyd George told the
house of m that he was hope
full of the situation, adding that Gen.
Plumer, the British commander in
the Messines area, and Gen. Foch,
The allied commander in chief, were
both confident. Nothing vital, the
premier said, had been lost. The
enemy, be added, had not yet wiped
out the British army, which was his
aim.

tiers encouraged the boys to desert
andIg home.
1t was first believed German pro-
pagandists were at work and that
fictitious letters were sent to soldiers
telling them of sickness in their fam
lilies, but investigation showed the
letters were genuine and that fam
tiles of the soldiers were the spread
ers of gloom.
The war department is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of making an appeal
to mothers and relatives of soldiers
to write cheerful letters to the boys
in camp, and not to encourage their
inconsistencies. An appeal to patri-
ctism showing the necessity of stand
ing back OF the boys in uniform, it is
believed, would be beneficial. Mean.
while the department has requested
camp commanding officers to take
all possible steps to remove causes
for dissatisfaction, and at the same
time to warn the boys of the serious
consequences of deserving in wal
time. Punishment in the cases OF
desertion arising from this cause
will be light.

BLOODHOUND EVIDENCE.

Bristol, April 17.-'Capt." James
Payne, an employee of the Milwaukee
Railway company here, appeared be-
fore Judge Bouck, of the circuit
court, and entered a plea of guilty
to the charge of having defrauded a
fire insurance company. For a PEE
riod of two years he resided on a
rented stock ranch near Milbank and
confessed that during this time he
set fire to one of the buildings and
collected the $500 insurance on the
claim that the building had been
struck by lightning. Judge Bouck
sentenced him to a term in the Sioux
Falls ~panitentiary, but it is probable
he will be paroled at an early date.
