WHAT'S IN A NAME? =.
BISMARCK CITIZENS
BELIEVE THEY KNOW

Bismarck, N. D., July 15.-"To hell
with this block-headed Hun; what did
he ever do for u.s." reads a six-foot
sign which confronts visitors to the
Northern Pacific railroad tsation.
The paint brigade began operations
some time last night and painted out
the name Bismarck with yellow paint
wherever it was found. The railroad
station sign was used in beginning the
campaign. On nearly all downtown
buildings are printed signs urging
Change the name of the city to some
thing decent"

ENEMY'S STRENGTH
IS N DOUBT

Washington, July 15.-Allied and
American naval officials are unable to
form any accurate estimate of the
present strength of the German battle
fleets, it was said today by Admiral
Benson, chief of naval operations. Not
only are reports as to what Germany
has built or is building conflicting, but
every effort to secure positive infor-
nation in regard to the whereabouts
and condition Of the Russian fleet in
the Black and Baltic seas has met with
failure.
Naval officials are particularly in
terested in the dreadnaughts and bat
tie cruisers Germany may have secur-
ed by seizure of the Russian fleets. At
least eight modern battle ships were
in the Baltic and Black Seas and four
battle cruisers were under construc-
tion at points in the Gulf of Finland
when the Russian collapse came.
It is estimated that if Germany has
obtained all Russian war craft and
succeeded in putting them into fight
ing condition she has been able to in
crease the strength of her high seas
fleet by Is per cent. Admiral Benson
was quite positive, however, of the
ability of the Allied fleets to deal
with the enemy should they venture
out.
The chief of operations said infor-
nation as to the Russian Baltic fleet
was unreliable. He was particularly
interested in the four battle cruisers
which were scheduled for completion
in the winter of 1917 but which un-
doubtedly were delayed by the Russian
collapse. The Germans are now in
control of the ports where the ships
were laid down. Some reports say
these and other Russian craft have
been taken over and fitted for action,
while others declare many Of her YES

destroyed by their crews to prevent
their falling into German hands.

Once again has the fact that we are
at war been brought home to Devils
Lake people, Sunday evening when d
telegram came in from Fort Omaha,
Nebraska, bringing the sad. news Of
the death of Jack Nimmo, following

while upon return trip from Wash
ington, D. C. to Fort Omaha that he
was taken ill. He had just taken a
sick soldier to Washington and whel
he arrived in camp was in a serious
condition. He was operated upon at
once but the trouble had progressed
too far. His mother was sent for and
she arrived in time to be with him
when the end came. His brother Will
liam left Sunday but was informed of
ihs brothers death when he reached
st. Paul, and so returned here.
The body reached this city Monday
evening on No. / in charge of a mil
itary escort. The train was met by
an escort from the Cyrene Comman-
derry and an immense gathering Of
friends. Deceased was a Knight
Templar and under the auspices Of
that body the funeral will be- held this
afternoon at 300 o'clock. Jack is sur.

Save Your Fertilizer Bill

All forms of plant food are scarce
and high-priced, and all waste ma
terials on the farm that contain nj
trogen, phosphate and potash should
be saved, not wasted. The saving
Of these plant foods is far more i'm
portant now than when they were
cheap. Manure that has been care
fully saved, is worth S4 or S., or
more, ton. With the proper care,
one can materially increase the pro-
duction of manure. BY care, one
man can make good wages during
the winter season by bedding we'll,
not letting any Of the manure go
to waste.
What do you mean by "going to
waste?" By pitching the manure
out in a pile where it may lose over
half of its fertilizing value? When
the smoke, as we usually call it, es-
capes from the manure pile, it is
the equivalent Of money going up
in smoke"
If the stables are cleaned out, the
manure should go directly to- the
field or in a manure pit with cover
on it. Putting it directly on the field
saves handling the manure twice. BY
having the field plowed in the fall
and left rough, one can scatter the
manure and get practically as good
results as by turning under the ma
nure.
Never put off till next spring what
you can do this winter.

Kerosene LAMPS Are Good

There are several good reasons for
the common use Of kerosene lamps.
The first cost is low; kerosene is
cheap and can be obtained anywhere.
They can be conveniently carried from
place to place, and are quite safe.
The most serious objection to the
ordinary old style, flat wick lamp
is that the odor is unpleasant. The
smoke is a nuisance, and it burns
considerable oxygen, making the air
impure.
The first cost of kerosene lamp
with mantle is considerably more
than that of the common oil lamp,
but the above objections are largely
overcome. This type of lamp gives
off practically no, oder, requires less
air and gives a better light than the
ordinary kerosene lamp. It is claimed
that a mantle lamp will give more
than four times as much light with
the same amount of kerosene), as
the common tubular wick lamp.
A mantle is very easily broken and
must be handled carefully The wick
must be kent trimmed right to give
good results.
