WITH THE EDITORS
HAVE "a HEART II.

Just 9 word towel meaning people The
Times Record is doing and is willing to do lotof
work in the way Of publicity for the good of the
government, all of which is given free and cheer
fully. We feel that everyone must do their part,
but there is limit to our time and resources.
Thoughtless people do not figure how much time
it takes to do these things and they send in great
big reports with*a request for publication, with
out thinking of the time II takes to get these
reports into type. We had one handed to sus q
couple Of days ago that would take a machine man
half day to set it,up. We cannot afford to give
that much time to this report If people will con-
dense these reports into one-third they.could be
published This one could have been summarized
into small space and told the facts just as well.
Then again others send in pamphlets on some
pet subject asking the editor to publish what he
thinks is right. That we certainly will do, but
we want to impress upon the minds of these peo-
pie that we are busy and have no time to sift out
these matters. If people will take some Of their
time and write what they want we shall be pleased
to give them reasonable space We are limited
for time and space every day and our time is
taxed to the limit and we would ask our friends
to bear this in mind If we should publish one
fourth of the matter sent in to us every day we
would have neither the room nor the time to set
up another thing. Don't ride willing horse to

HOW RETAILERS OWN THINGS

Ef. hOW HElAlLGno OWN InANOO
1; Inthe matter Of ownership of things, the fed
eral trade commission sustains the United .States
supreme court decision, and attempts to improve
uponsit 4 .. d. a.. w, 3s~ 'H'
isS The court has decided that manufacturers and
wholesalers cannot fix the resale price at which
retailers must sell certain articles; that when q
man buys athing, he owns it and can do what he
pteases with it: This is.a broad and democratic
view. If manufacturers could control the future
prices. of their products, retail business might
readily become mere agency business, which, in
tie final analysis, would mean business by monop-
olies only. S, 4 ..ss..ss,..,. 4, IT, 3-k..,ss
~ The federal trade commission declares that,
while retailer buys is his, he shall not sell
tile article Ut a price actually below Cost, thus
engaging IN unfair competition with other re-
tailers: III other words, there is . limitation to
freedom in ownership as in all other rights, i'm
posed by what is for the common good
These decisions ought to eliminate good deal
Of existing commercial wrangling, uncertainty and
disorder. We hope to see them vigorously ap-
piled to concerns like the Standard Oil Co., which
has not only fixed prices for retailers, but been
murderous in its cutting Of prices in order to
annihilate competitors.

HAGAN APPROVES
FORD'S PLAN OF
TRACTOR SALES
Commends Detroit Manufactur
er on Offer to Supply the
Farmers at Cost

The proposal of Henry Ford to; sell
his Fordson tractor at cost to the state
to be devoted to carrying out the
North Dakota Council Of Defense plan
of having an emergency fleet of 300
or more light tractors at the disposal
of farmers for summer and fall har
vesting and plowing has been strong
ly endorsed by John N. Hagan, com
missioner of agriculture and labor, and
Thomas Allan Box, secretary of the
Defense Council.
Commissioner Hagan has written
Henry Ford as follows:
"YOur plan of selling Ford tractors
at cost to the farmers meets with smy
hearty approval, and / believe it will
assist materially in increasing food
production in our state. Any assist
ance can render in the distribution
will gladly give"
The .FOrdson tractor, q light, but
efficient machine, would cost some
thing less than $500, 4. o. b.. Bismarck
The plan would contemplate the dis
tribution of these tractors under their
own power. from the capital city. II
is understood Mr.. FOrd's offer holds
good as regards Individual farmers,
whether the defense council contracts
for his tractor or some other ma
chine.
Members Of the executive committee
of the Council of Defense have their
own opinions as to the relative merits
of the several tractors under consider
alton, and they intend to proceed with
their original plan of inviting tractor
manufacturers to enter their machines
in competitive test to be held at the
capital city. Tractor manufacturers
in all parts Of the country are inter.
ested, and the show is expected to at.
tract to Bismarck hundreds of farm
ers who plan the purchase Of an en-.
CINE. Tractor agents generally are
agreed that this will be tractor
year, and that with even an average
crop the sale Of steel.horses will be
double what it has been in any other
one year.

THE TREND OF THE TUNES.

4 AS "a straw showing the direction of the wind
might be cited the stand taken this week by the
Ward County Independent, published at Minot.
The Independent claims to have the largest
circulation Of any North Dakota weekly news.
paper. It has been more or less neutral on league
affairs, but it has been growing more and more
restless under the Townley regime, and finally
kicked over the traces this week. Here is brie1
excerpt from it's editorial On "Townleyism":
There are number Of excellent reasons
why Townley should be dropped like q hot i
brick In the first place, we would not want Il
to "tie to- man of his caliber if the dis
loyal remarks which he is charged with
making are true, and we have not been in
formed that he has been able to refute
those charges. We know that there is no
disloyalty among the rank and file of the
league, but our mind is quite clear as to
Mr.. Townley's attitude We should not care
to enlist under the banner of leader who
has taken it upon himself to place unlimited
power in his own hands. We believe that
the Consumers United Store scheme, which
has placed hundreds Of thousands of dollars
in Mr.. Townleys own hands, is going to be
his undoing. We believe that q man who
advocates the passage of such measure as
House Bill AZ is not safe man for leader.
While the independents stand is of some i'm
portance in itself, it is chiefly interesting as show
ing the trend Of public opinion. The time whel
decent citizens have to take all manner of abus,
and be branded "enemies of the farmer" for re
fusing to permit the state to be turned over t

Death in Reply to Surrender Order
A fourth prisoner was found in a
shellhole some time after the fight.
The prisoners range in age from Is
to 25. They are all Prussion storm
troops. They said the raid was in re-
taliation for a raid by the French
foreign legion in January. They had
heard of the German offensive, but
did not know when it was coming
off.
A German lieutenant, so the story
was told, ordered four Americans out
of dugout during the raid. The
first man out killed him. There was
fairly active artillerying.

cool as if going ON leave. For time
our platoon was nearly surrounded.
1t was hot work. The Germans were
behind us and in front of us.
But it. was not for us to back up.
We knew what our rifles were for
] and we used them to beat off the
Germans. Our captain was gallant
officer and he died like a real fight
ing man."
The Green Bay lad was beside the
captain when he fell and told of his
last order. Then the Chicago men
chimed in, relating why they thought
! the raid was coming
There was apparently an advance
celebration in the German trenches
the night before the attack" said
one. 1--WE could hear the band play
ing back in the German lines and
they were noisy all night long. Our
patrols heard the boches shout, Come
on over, Americans, and then,
We're coming over, Americans
Ready for Another Fight
I'VE had no orders to go over, but
there was & hot reception awaiting
the Germans on Cur side"
The men, tired and dirty after
their trick in the trenches, topped by
the stiffest fight to date, remained
steady and cheerful. They are ready
for another whirl at the enemy. They
sat in circle in their rest billet on
a dry spot protruding from sea of
mud and ankle deep water, slowing
away slum, bread and coffee.
On the basis of the recognized rule
that the wounded quadruple the
killed, the German casualties in Fri
days raid on the st. Mihiel sector
were far greater than, the American
losses possibly three or four to one.
The highest praise has been ac-
corded the officers and men, both of
the infantry and artillery, for the
manner in which they repulsed su-
perior force.
Documents found on a dead Ger
man show the enemy advanced in five
parties, one attacking frontally, while
the Others attacked from the flank.

February Month Of
Very Fine Weather

February weather was equal to the
average, the month on the whole fur
nishing delightful weather with fair
share of sunshine. Frosty nights
checked what promised to be an early
bloom, and the first snow of the sea-
son spread thin blanket over the
valley for few hours on the night
of the 23rd. The coldest weather
was experienced the mornings of the
goth and 25th, when the thermometer
dropped to "a, but climbed into the
SOS alter both days. The mean max
imum was 51.5, and the mean mini
mum 1928, the mean being 419.
Rainfall totaled 2.64 inches against
an average of 1862 inches, monthly
deficiency of .9S inches. The seasonal
rainfall to date, since September l,
is 1912 inches, against the average
of 1889 inches, making the seasonal
deficiency 6.27 inches.
The average March rainfall is 2,34
inches. Last year 1t totaled 1.76
inches. Not since 1907 has the March
rainfall been up to the average. In
that year 6.13 inches fell. In 1904
the rainfall was 7.59 inches. The
ground, however, is we'll saturated,
containing more moisture than for
several years.
Spring sowing is in full blast and
winter grain in ideal condition. Pros
poets are good for fine crop, with a
greatly increased grain acreage.

Ask Commission
TO Improve Road

A petition to the state highway
commission is being circulated In
Jackson, klamath and Lake counties,
asking the much-needed help on the
klamath Falls highway, The secre-
tary of the Ashland Commercial club,
MIR. Shinn, and Mr.. Walker, city en-
gineer of Ashland, drove to Medford
last Saturday and added $50 new
names. A great deal of interest is
awakening in the matter and it is
hoped that these petitions will arouse
the highway commission to the i'm
portance of this enterprise. AS has
before been said, there is no more
important h gh way improvement
called for in the state of Oregon, The
Lake country is 1000 feet higher than
Rogue River valley, by reason of
which its productions are in many re-
spects different Wheat, rye, oats,
barley, all of the tubers, alfalfa and
timothy are produced in great abun-
dance and of the finest quality. The
great ranges for stock make it one of
the finest stock countries in the
world. The alfalfa, potatoes, beets,
carrots, parsnips, potatoes, etc, fur
nish an inexhaustible store of feed
for cattle and hogs. It's dairy prod

Many of these things Rogue River

abundance and much Of these prod

duce great quantities Of apples, pears,
peaches, a great variety of berries and
many other things that the people of
klamath and Lake import from the
outside, a great patr of which they
get from California, because there is
no good highway facilities between
them and the Rogue River valley.
Profitable Exchange
With proper roads, very great ex-
change trade in these commodities
would be profitably carried on be-
tween those counties and this. The
people of this valley bring In from the
outside bacon, eggs, flour and even
potatoes that ought to be produced
here, but are not in sufficient guam
titles. We send to other states for
them, while Just across the noun
tains, but sixty miles away and in our
own state, we could get all we want
OF these products largely in trade for
our own, if only thees communities
were properly connected by an up-to-
date highway.
Even Portland ought to be deeply
interested in this road, because for
the lack of it the merchants of that
region have been driven to do their
trading at San Francisco and Chicago.
A great amount of traffic that would
be kept in the stae is diverted be-
cause that great and richly endowed
country has been shamefully neg
lected by the state to which it pays
its taxes and reports its elections.

attention to this region, no one ought

Metal Of Americans
Shown '0ver There

In story told by Fred S. Fergu-
son in the Portland Journal, March 4,
is given the experience of the Sam
mics who volunteered to go into "No
Mans Land" few days ago, when
the captain, West Pointer, lost HIS
life. 1t is tragic story and shows
the metal of the American boys "over

With the American Army in France.
STEADY boys, though they outnum-
ber us ten to one, we can lick them, "
were the last words of the first West
Pointer to die fighting Germany.
The story of this captains death
was told to the United Press recently
by four Americans who were in his
company and were with him when he
fell. These m4n are from Green Bay,
Wis, Minot, N. D., and two from Chi
cago.
The captain left his dugout when
the Germans started their raid on the
American trenches early one morn
ing. He ran through a fierce bar
rage until he got in the midst of his
men on strong point. AS he spoke
his last words, he leveled his revolver
at the. oncoming Boches. A shell
burst nearby. He fell dead without
a sound.
This captain led a fighting COM

Irish names. The boy from Minot

Concentrates Being
Shipped From the
Lake Creek Mines

Ninety tons of manganese concen-
trates have been shipped from the
Lake Greek iron mines already and
that tonnage will be increased rap
idly from now on, judging by ar
rangements to enlarge the output.
The company is proceeding without
interruption in the execution of its
plans for an immense output ulti-
mately, for the demand for it is alb
normally great, owing to war condi-
tions and the likelihood that the lat
ter may continue for long period in
the future.
The success of the Lake Creek COM
pany has greatly increased interest in
numerous prospects in that part of
the county, from some of which splen-
did reports are coming. The quality
Of the manganese found on the Yes
tai place, five miles north of Eagle
Point, is excellent and the prospect so
far shows a great deposit. At other
points of that region similar discov-
cries have been made, indicating that
it may yet develop into an immense
field of manganese deposits.
Prospecting is being done in the
hills in the northeastern part of the
county with much energy, number
of discoveries of various kinds of
ores being reported. Most of the
prospectors at this time, however, are
looking for manganese.
