SHOCK TROOPS
IN HEAVY GRAIN

A bunch of ten men under the COM
mand of Chief Swanson went out to
the Christ Ludwig, Jr., farm, ID miles
north Of here last night. The boys
say they never saw such heavy grain
and Mr.. Ludwig expects it to go be-
tween 40 and As bushels per acre. The
grain was so tall that the boys had to
quit before dark in order to get out
of the field because they were afraid
they would get lost. They shocked up
40 acres which they considered good
work on account of the heavy grain.
There were several tall ones in the
bunch, Melvin Lee, A. s. Sigurdson
and Christ Norgaard and when they
got behind some shocks they were
completely out of sight. This is no
fairy story by any means for the boys
say they never saw such heavy grain
as is on that farm.

Paul Farut, of Park River, N. D.,
was killed in France about a month
ago word has just been received by
the Farut family. It has taken a long
time to get the news to the family but
it is presumed it could not be helped.
Paul was killed by the bursting of a
shell and he is the first of the Park
River boys to pay the supreme sacri-
flee. Miss Jessie Farut, his sister, is
member of the Normal school fac
ulty and is in the registration depart
ment. The deceased will be remem-
bered by many of our people wfb will
learn with regret of his death. But
war is war, and these hard bumps will
come to many before it is over.

and it's people two or three lusty
cheers for the interest shown them.

the most unusual baggage that was
over handled on the bank OF the River
Il iffev There were pianos, double
bass violins, and the whole set OF IN
struments for the camp band; there
were sailors sea trunks of great va
r,otv. there was grandfather clock
OF huge proportions, and a complete
set of theatrical properties ana
s+oea scenery, which told OF enter
tainments past or for future prcduc-
ton.
Khaki-clad dockmen perspired over
the lob of arranging, these mountains
q. baggage into sings, hosting them
or board the steamer and slowing
the stuff away in the hold.
The train with the German ana
Austrian travellers arrived in the sta
ton across the road from the river
and was cheered by the crowd OUT
hide the gates. Handkerchiefs were
waved by the women, and the prison.
ers waved back out of the train win
dows.
Several times the crowd made
rush towards the quayside, but the
military and police allowed no en-
trance to the dock sheds and the
crowd Of onlookers finally took up po-
sitions on top of lumber piles lower
down the river wall, where the boat
could be seen and cheered as it start
&c down the river.
Sim Fein scarfs and ribbons were
worn by most of the women in the
crowd. A similar crowd quickly col
lected on the south wall, across the
river. where the men and women sang
over the Sim Fein song, and cheered
themselves hoarse as the deportees
were brought onto the decks of the
steamer.
Then suddenly the strains of brass
band, playing a medley of German
airs, f1oated out on the water. 1t was
the aliens camp band in action. AS
they played, the boat started cheers
were raised again, the steamer gained
Roadway, the cheering died down and
the crowds began to dispense The
soldiers and police on the docks filed
back to their barracks and the festivi-
ties were over.
