If the badger shot at Heston on sus- picion of having preyed on a fowl run was guilty he was of an exceptionally enterprising character. for as a rule this animal is too slow and too lazy to carry out such raids. He prefers to find his food nearer his home than the domestic fowl is likely to be. lie occasionally feeds on chicken, it is true, but that is generally when he has fox as part tenant of his bur row, for then the invariable contract seems to be as close observers tell us, that in lieu of rent the active ten ant shares the proceeds of his poultry and other raids with his sluggish land- lord.

The worst tragedy, apart from the ordeal of our fighting men, is the plight of people who lived in places now caught in the flame of war. Out of Bailleul and Merville and Estaires; out of scores of hamlets and farm steads which all of us out here knew in happier days they are coming far back in farm carts and gigs and don key carts, on bicycles and afoot, with wheelharrows and perambulators, on British gun wagons and in British lor- ries. They are enormously brave these old, old women and these young girls of children.
 Young Heroes of France sit aloft on the big hay carts piled high with furniture, while their farmhorses stumble on down long roads, and old women nod or sleep like babes on col ored mattresses, and girls call out | Good luck!" to our soldiers. They drive their cattle before them, and yesterday I saw great herds of COWS coming back from the country round Bailleul. Small boys with young mothers tramp sturdily on with one hand clasping their mothers skirt and gripping bundle of clothes, young heroes of France with the courage of their race.
 To the last moment some of these people stay in their villages under fire, standing about among our steel halted men with no covering to their
 braided hair, until at last they know they must go or die. So now they arg

GIVES JAMES BOYS a
BIG RUN FOR H0N0Rs

During the past week a number Of
Wahpeton youths, have turned from
the straight and narrow path and en-
tered on the path of criminals. Thew
are starting out to make record it
seems and only for the speedy hand
OF the law, they would now probably
be doing other desperate deeds OF
characters in the novels of Diamond
Dick and Handsome Harry.
Not content with robbing the candy
from baby in the cradle the "gang"
conceived the idea to purloin or ra-
ther simply take without the knowl-
edge of the loser, a rifle, revolver,
cartridge, fishing tackle and jack
knives. Maybe they were going to
war, but we don't know. AS far as
we can find out they haven't appear
ed at any recruiting station.
Another place was broken into and
the till was tipped for quite a sum
of money. All of it has been return
ed except a small amount. The pro-
prietor of this place states that it
will all be made good within a few
days.
AS soon as the case was reported
to Chief Powrie, he readily surmized
that the boys would probably be
found at the swimming hole on the
north edge of this city and he went
Immediately to the scene and brought
back with him, Silk Hat Harry, One
Eyed Shaw, Second Story Tom, Pig
Eye, Jerry the Slip. and a few other
notable character. The above articles
were found but not any Of it was
taken by the above mentioned.
Now these same youths or prob.
ably others have been doing deeds at
the swimming hole in which there
has been complaints made to Chief of
Police Powrie. A number of boys,
would be toughs and bound to get
into trouble, have been going in swim
ming attired in natures own clothes.
and even men have been seen in tho
same attire. On one occasion the boys
og about IL to 16 years OF age have
chased young girls for Il quarter of q
mile, yelling vulgar words and sent
ences. Now these young lads are in
for u time of their own.
Now the OarCntS of this city have
got to take these youths in hand and
instruct them in the ways OF the right
doing, or they will BE Instructed how
TO act iy men hired by the state.

ship TN CARL DAD Of
BINDERS BY EXPRESS

The Twin City Hardware and Inn
plement company Of this city has
done the improbable and has salts
fed the demands of ten farmers in
this section of the state, by shipping
in last Monday morning a carload of
binders by express over the Great
Northern.
Never heretofore has business in
Wahpeton been done on such ba-
sis. Think Of it, to satisfy the de-
mands for ten binders by likewise
number of farmers, the Twin City
Hardware company shipped in these
binders, not to reap any great mar
gin of profit for themselves, but to
satisfy the trade. They knew they
could hold of the purchasers for a
few days more, but the fact that the
grain in the fields was ready to cut,
and that this country at the present
time needs very kernel Of grain it
can save, the proprietors of this con-
cern have done their might in this
respect and had the binders here as
soon as they could be loaded at the
International warehouse at Fargo
and attached to a passenger train
and brought here.
The importance of this fact is that
the have a carload on the way, but
somehow the north bound Milwaukee
freight failed to bring the car now
standing on the side track at Orton-
vile to this city and that it woul.l
probably be another day or two be-
fore they would be here, caused these
two popular young business men to
act quickly and thus is how they
came to have these binders shipped
in by express. Not only did they ship
them in by express, but on the same
passenger train came o. NJ. Helm,
Art Schroeder and Ed Aigner, from
the compapy's plant at Fargo experts
in this line to set up the binders af-
ter they got here. These men were
in the charge of Mr.. Helm.
Besides these men, the Schmitt
Bros, hired about a dozen other men
to help the men from Fargo and at
the evening OF Monday the Binders
were all set up and in running order.
ready to be in the fields to cut one of
Richland's coltnty's greatest crops.
Nor could a greater patriotic deed
be done. The saving of this years
crop is essential and the express
charges on these binders is quite a
tidy sum.
The company was so pleased in
the way their goods are being handl-
ed here that they had Mr. Donaldson
the local photographer come up and
take their picture. Ii will soon be
adcrning not only the walls OF the
company OFFICES at Fargo, but will
also be at the headuuarte rs OF the
company Mr.. Helm, tie foruen OF
the men, that came here fIom Fargo
stated to the Times man, that this
was the only Of its lind OF achieve
ments that he knows and he has
been in this business for quite a
while.
Mr.. Helm left on the afternoon
train for NIooreton where he had
some other work to do for the Inter
national concern.
