The proposal to send the con-
scientious objectors to the farms
as laborers has not yet received
the hearty endorsement of the
farmers. Probably because the
farmer has no more time these
days to argue with his help than
colonels with their regiments.

Quarter of a Million Teu-'

sued by the Allies, Who
Advance Fifteen Miles.
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
Paris, Oct. 10-A quarter of mil
lion Germans are, in full retreat be-
tween Cambrai and St. Quentin with
the Allies in close pursuit.
The Allies have advanced fifteen
miles at some points during the last
two days.
A general German retreat seems in
evitable.
General Pershings' infantry went
into action again on the left wing
of the Argonne front after violent
bombardment. The Germans are
throwing in reserves on their left
flank which has been exposed in the
Argonne pocket. The enemy is en-
deavoring to withdraw troops al other
points and restore the line.
An American bombing expedition,
by $50 machines, dropped thirty-two
tons of explosives on German canton
ment between Wavrille and Damwiw-
wers, twelve miles north of Verdun.
The bombers were given splendid >pro-
lection in the aerial battle which oc-
Cured during the operation. Twelve
enemy machines were destroyed and
one Entente airplane failed to re-
turn. r'
American airplanes yesterday de-
stroyed or downed five German ma
chimes and one balloon.
Americans operating west of the
Meuse have returned to the attack
against the formidable Kriemhilde
line. The assault was made just
south of Romange. A brilliant and
speedy advance forced the Germans
back through positions, prepared so
long by the Germans. Further to the
right the Americans forced their way
through Cunel wood, which was brist-
ling with machine guns. This made
easier the storming of Maimelle
trench of the Kriemhilde- -Steeling line
by sweeping away the thanking fire
which had previously rendered its cap
ture difficult.
General Pershing's eommunique for
Wednesday reported that the Ameri-
cans had penetrated the German main
line west of the Meuse against fresh
enemy divisions and had advanced fur
ther east of the Meuse despite violent
counter attacks. They have captured
important heights south of Marco, in
the Argonne forest, and have joined
hands with the French. Two thousand
additional prisoners have been taken
The British and Americans have
continued their rapid advance, driv.
ing the demoralized Germans before
them. The whole battlefield was
aflame throughout the night ant

Gasoline, which many farmers use in
large quantities for their tractors, is
certainly too high, and its producers
must be "profiteers," if any there be.
But even at that it took Is bushels Of
wheat to buy 100 gallons of low grade
gas few years ago, while today the
IL bushels of wheat.
Coffee is comparatively cheaper to-
day than it has been for many years
measured by wheat. A. bushel of
wheat will buy twice as much coffee
today as it did three or four years
ago. And sack sugar, which a
few years ago could be had for about
six dollars or six bushels Of wheat,
can today be bought for less than five
bushels Of wheat.
Labor is higher, but not too high
when we figure the cost of living; and
we all know that the advance in day
labor has not quite kept pace with the
advance in the price Of wheat, conse-
quently the farmer can at the present
time get more work done for bushel
of wheat than he could three or four
years ago.
So no matter how we figure it, the
farmers of North Dakota are all right,
thank you, if our good Lord will only
forgive us for having tolerated the
Bolsheviki being in our midst; and we
pray that He will from now on let it
rain on both the righteous and the un-
righteous, also that He will assist with
His Almighty hand to drive these
false leaders over to Germany, where
they belong.
