QUICK WORK
SOLDIER BREAKS RECORD GET
TING TO FRANCE.

Lead, March 29.-The record for
getting to France in quick time be-
longs to James ("Jimmie") Halo
ran, a Black Hills young man. He
enlisted in the engineering service
at Deadwood on February 8 Of this
year., and his arrival on the other
side has been reported to his rela-
lives and friends in South Dakota.
He enlisted as a bridge and road
builder, and the fact that trained
men in these branches are so badly
needed no doubt accounts for his be-
ing sent to France within so COM
p%aratively a short time after he had
enlisted. There is no date line on
the card received from him, but II is
believed to have been mailed by him
from France during the closing days
of February or opening days OF
March.

showed that he had brought with
him four quarts of unadulterated al
cohol. Eight dollars and IA cents
was found on his person.
According to the plans of some
friends in Kimball, it is said, Patt
was to go to Minneapolis and return
with the liquor. Evidently he could
not wait until reaching the home
town and as a consequence he was
arrested.
At his hearing Monday morning
he was found guilty and fined 800
or so days in Jail. Patt say he is
in the employ of a wealthy land own
err of Kimball, and, at Pats request,
funds were telegraphed for this
morning. They are expected to ar
rive this afternoon and until their
arrival Patt remains in Jail.

INSURANCE MONEY
PARENTS OF MITCHELL SOLDIER
GET INSURANCE..

Mitchell, March 29.-The grief
stricken parents of William Jennings
Bryan Shepherd today received a GER
tificate of insurance from the treas
ury department, bureau of war risk
insurance at Washington. ID. c., in
the amount Of $4,000 taken out by
their son, who was a member of
Company A, 14Sth Machine Gun Bat
terry, A. e. Z. S., and who was kill
ed in France on March 8, 1918.
The insurance became effective
December /, 1917, and the certifi-
cate is addressed to Mrs. Electa
Shepherd. the mother of the deceased
and provides for a payment of $3.50
for a period of 240 months. These
parents are the first in this commu-
nifty to give their son to their coun-
try, but the certificate received today
has proved that this boy was not un-
mindful of his parents, and has left
them not the memory of his honored
name, but support during the bal
n C. of their lives.

BANK President
SIGNED BOND FOR PRO-GERMAN
AND NOW MAY HAVE TO
QUIT BUSINESS.

WATERFOWL, March 29.-Because
he furnished the bond for the release
of Gustav Crossman, pending his
trial in federal court on the charge
of threatening the life of President
Wilson. w. c. Uecker, president and
owner of the majority of the stock
in the bank at Raymond, may be
compelled to dispose of his interest
in the bank and resign to prevent
the ruin Of the institution.
Following Crossman's hearing
here, Uecker and a Raymond farmer
furnished his bond of $1,000. That
night Raymond citizens, enraged at
the act, posted large yellow cards all
over the bank and when the institu-
ton was opened next morning Gus
toners drew out their deposits, ex-
hausting, it is said. practically all OF
the banks cash on hand.
AS a. result a meeting of the stock
holders and directors of the bank
has been hurriedly called. 1t is ru-
mored in circles considered to be
well informed that Uecker will be
asked to sell his interest in the bank
and resign as its president.

WHEAT SAVING
NEW RULE TO TAKE EFFECT
APRIL 14-SHORTAGE IN
FRANCE.

Aberdeen. March 29.-As part of
the new wheat conservation program
which has just recently been an
nounced, G. N. Herreid, federal food
administrators for South Dakota, is
sues the following rule, having to do
with the amount of substitutes re-
CURED in making all victory bread
on and after April IA. 1918:
The urgent needs Of the Allies
for an increased supply OF wheat
flour makes 1t necessary that the
amount OF substitutes required in the
be king of all victory bread be in
creased to 25 per cent on April IA
and until further notice.
AS long ago as the 23d of Deem
Der the minister of provisioning OF
France announced that after a com
plete food survey of the country had
been taken there remained only
enough wheat and flour in France ia
sustain her civilian population for
three days. Since this time France
has literally been living from hand
to mouth. IL America were to fail
for one week in her duty to provide
food for France there would ensue
in the words of Lord Rhondda, the
British food controller, that starva-
ton which Is followed by disease and
death" At this very moment France
is living under the spectre Of starva-
ton.

AMERICANS in Fight
INFANTRYMEN ADVANCE TO
MEET ASSAULTS BEHIND A
HEAVY COUNTER BAR
RAGE FIRE.

With the American Army in
France, March 29.-What promised
to be a German attack on the Amer
lean lines northwest of Toul was
broken up by American artillery fire.
The enemy had heavily lombard
lines and then had sen a sweeping
barrage across No Mans Land. En-
envy trench mortars, firing from the
west on Richecourt, started a box
barrage and from enemy machine
guns came a rain of bullets.
The American infantry emerged
from their trenches at the proper
moment and advanced to meet the
artillery had started a counter bar
rage against the German side of No
Mans Land, and apparently this was
effective, for although the Ameri-
cans waited, no Germans appeared.
What happened on the other side OF
the line is not known.
Enemy artillery fire had been
heavy and some shots were well
placed. The American gunners gave
the enemy batteries a severe drench,
ing with gas shells.
There has been extraordinary &C.
tivity behind the enemy line and in
his front trenches. The Germans
also have moved their batteries sud.
denly and changed the direction OF
fire, and the artillery firing has in,
creased.
The American guns in the past
two nights have given most Of their
attention to the German positions
where there is reason to believe the
troops were being relieved. Prob,
ably much damage was done and the
enemy artillery fire has been of a re"
taliatory nature.
American patrols entered the Ger
man lines last night at two points
near Richecourt and near Bemieres
One patrol picked up an officer whC
had been left behind on the previou!
night in front of the German posi-
tions where he remained all day yes

A Madison woman has used Doan's

She has found them as repre-
