Fighting in holes, Dad O. Mine.
Natures old spells are no longer delight
Passionrfined souls. Dad O. Mine
Vainly the birds in the branches are

Vainly the sunshine it's message is bring
Over the green-clad earth, stark hate is

No one dare prophesy when comes an

A MOTHERS GlFT

Picture a home in cottage, small;
Picture frame on the cottage wall;
Picture a mother. old and grey
Kneeling each morn at the picture to
pray.
Prays for the one that looks out from the
frame,
Laughing full lips seem to whisper her
name.
The load at her heart seems to lift with
the light;
She knows that her boys passed safe
thorough the night.
She kisses the flag that is draped Ger the
frame
And tenderly whispers her darling boys
And smiles through her tears as she
thinks of the day
When Uncle Sam called and her boy
marched away.
She's proud of her offspring so noble and
She's proud Of the fact that she gave him
to save
The country for freedom, the hope of the
Lies but in our flag, the flag lie unfurled.

SOW THISTLE
IS NUISANCE,
SAYS MERCER
Noxious Weed to be Extir-
Z pated from Grand Forks
County.

Seed Commissioner s. r. Mercer Of
LArtmore las Saturday afternoon ad-
dressed q very enthusiastic meeting Of
farmers at Emerado for the purpose Of
starting an organized fight against the
SOW thistle which, it is generally col.
sidered, is n OF the most dangerous
weeds in this part of the state.
On the subject Of the SOW thistle,
Mr.. Mercer today wrote Tho Herald
the following letter which will be Of
much interest to farmers throughout
the county: =

cultural college, Winnipeg, Man, rs
that the SOW thistle is the worst weed
that has been introduced into the
province o. Manitoba; I reEret to ssy
county do not seem to realize the
danger there is in allowing this weed
to spread. The loss annually to farm
ers 10 bound to be enormous. We hear
considerable about the farmers Of
North DakotA having lost 5 s 100000
per year through the manipulattons
OF pronteers. but II they don't get
profteers and big big to it. What
little "big biz steals from the farm
ers won't amount to a drop in the
bucket in comparison to what the
AWFUL weed will do IL allowed to
spread. There is no question but It
would pay the farmers to take ono
year of from politics and make q
determined wal on the weed that has
put hundreds Of farmers out Of bust.

WELL KNOWN BALL PLAYER.
Alex FowIie, Jr, Died To-day of Pneu-
monia,

Alexander Fowlie, jr, for several years
well known professional baseball
player in Barre, died at his home, Glen
wood avenue, this forenoon, the end fol-
lowing an illness of ten days. He was
stricken with grip, and then pneumonia
developed. He leaves his wife, who, be-
fore her marriage was Miss Christina
Mitchell, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
per Mitchell of North Main street. Sur
yiying also are his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Alex Fowlie, sr., Of Glenwood avenue,
two sisters, Mrs. Alex Harper and Miss
Emma Fowlie, of this city, and broth.
er, Private George Fowlie, who is sta
TONED at Fort Strong.
The deceased was born in Aberdeen,
Scotland, in 1893, but came to America
with his parents and settled in Barre as
a small child. He attended the city
schools and until few years ago he was
prominent in diamond athletics, being a
member of the Barre A. G. team for a
number of seasons. He was a machinist
by trade and latterly was employed at
the plant of Canton Bros. Mr.. Fowlie
was member of Clan Gordon.
Funeral arrangements are to be an
nounced later.

GERMANS SET CAMBRIA ON FIRE;
ALLIES DRIVE WEDGES FURTHER
INTO HINDENBURG DEFENSES
PURELY MILITARY MATTERS
Were Considered in Allies Armistict
with Bulgaria.

London, Sept. 30.-The convention with
Bulgaria signed yesterday was a purely
military arrangement which was entered
into on behalf of the allies by the French
and other military commanders. No po'
litical problems are dealt with and the
questions of boundaries and other ar
rangements are left to the peace confer
ence.
There has been much discussion in the
English press of the status of King Fer
dinand, and suggestions have been made
that he be deposed. That matter also
was outside the scope of the convention
The governments of the allies take the
view that according to their principle OF
elf-determination the question of who
should be Bulgaria's ruler or titrlar rul-
er, is question for the Bulgarian people
to decide, if such a question arises in
Bulgaria. Thus, it is pointed out, the
allies have given practical application
to the self-determination principle at
the first opportunity offered.
The armistice arranged yesterday re-
mains in force until the final and general
peace settlement. 1t constitutes com
plete military surrender by Bulgaria. She
not only ceases to be an enemy but
ceases to be belIigerent. Interest now
is focused on Turkey.
According to Vienna messages, En-
peEor Charles is to issue a manifesto to
the people tomorrow, and it is felt that
this must be an utterance Of historic i'm
portance.

Marshal General Crowder personally
watched the operations from start to

There was only one accident in the
whole thing" General Crowder said. "and
that came on the last number. The pa.
per slipped out Of the capsule, but was
found in the bowl and SO it made no diff
ference but for a moment we thought
we were short one number"
Telephone communication was main
tanned with the government printing of

BALFOUR SUPPORTS
WILSON'S VIEWS
And Says That the Wrongs of Subordi-
mated Peoples Must Be Righted and
Territories Restored.

London, Sept 30. wrongs Of sub
ordinated peoples must be righted and
territories occupied by Germany since
the beginning of the war must have COM
plete freedom before league of nations
can be possible and peace secured to the
world, said Arthur j. Balfour, British
foreign secretary, at the Guildball to-
day. He gave his support to the ideas
outlined in President Wilson's recent
speech in New York.
"The full magnitude of all the issues
before mankind is thoroughly realized. -
Mr.. Balfour said. "If we failed in this
crisis not merely to win the war but to
see that such wars do not recur, our task
would be but half accomplished.
President Wilson's main theme was
this: That if the world would make sure
that it is going to have peace, it must
come to some arrangement by which
rnalefactors or would.be malefaotors are
to be kept in order by league of ma
tions. The second proposition was that
If you are to carry out this great ideal
the only time to do it effectively is the
moment when peace itself is being forged
by the labors of the victorious powers.
Personally, ! am very much of the
presidents mind"
