MARKED CHANGE IN
TONE OF GERMANS.
No Longer Boast Of Complete Victory
For Central Powers

London, Oct. SAN amazing change
in the tone of the German rulers and
the German press, resulting from the
victorious drive of the entente allies
is noted here. Contrasted with their
warlike declarations last spring when
the Germans were making their vic
toriOus drive recent u~tterances Of
Emperor William and Crown Prince
Frederick are milder and regarded
here as b~etraying their uneasiness
and fear now when the fortunes of
wal are going against them. AS IL
Illustrating this Emperor William said
in April and May:
"The world war cannot terminate
in any other than by the com
plete victory of Germany over all her
enemies. The last few months have
brought us successes which justify
our title to the strong peace which
shall open roads to. victorious German
commerce"
In July, after the great drive on the
Marine, the future looked less roseate
to the emperor for he said: THE
worst days of this wal are still In
store for Germany"
In September, after the allies had
hurled back the German invaders and
were breaking through the linden
burg line, the situation apparently
looked serious to the emperor. for he
said:
"The German people are fully
aware of the gravity of the present
struggle which will decide its future
Crown Prince Frederick put no linn
it on his warlike aspirations in Sep
TENDER, 1917. He said then With
scorn our enemies thrust back our
offered hand of peace. The sword
must continue its bloody work until
our foes are compelled to adopt an
other attitude"
BY September OF this year, however
the crown prince was willing to on
cede that Germany's enemies should
be permitted to live. He said:
Il have never taken the view that
We should crush our enemies. IN
slider II, moreover, not desirabe that
our enemies should be anniailatd be-
cause there is room enough IN this
word for all nations"

C0up0n Starts Deposit

The First National Bank, of Miller,
s. d., a United States depository, has
worked out a plan in which 1t accepts
Liberty Bonds for safe keeping,
whether brought in by a customer, or
a stranger. provided a savings ac-
count of $1.0e or more is opened.
The system is an integral part OF
the savings department, in that the
bond deposited is credited in the back
of the pass book. When coupons are
due the bank will credit them to the
depositor's account. An account may
be opened by tearing off a coupon OF
the bond, whether due or not and de-
posting 1t with the bank. In that
case the coupon is credited as cash
and the bond noted in the back OF the
passbook. THESE bonds will be In
sured against BURGLARY.
September 18th is Government pay
day to all holders of Az per cent
bonds and this bank believes that It
is somebody's business to give hold
ers OF small coupon bonds some meas
urc Of protection.

Prices Thirty Years
Ago In Hand County

Rockham Record-A. b. Linn, in
looking owe some old records the
other day, uncovered figures and sta
tistics that will be interesting to the
old settlers and the young farmers.
They show that farming thirty years
ago was a burden and had an income
attached which had to be viewed with
a microscope.
In the year of 1886 thirteen farmers
of Carleton twp produced 41S0 bush
els of wheat an average of 322 bushels
for each farmer. This year most any
thirteen farmers in the township pro-
duced nearer $4,000 bushels and re-
ceived three times as much for it.
In 1887 Mr.. Linn sold 1922 bushels
Of wheat for s440.63 receiving As cents
to so cents per bushel. This was then
the highest price and was paid by e.
X Abbot of Rockham. The crop that
year was also a bumper crop. In 1889
he sold 331 bushels of wheat for $3.50.
80 an bought IN overshot hay stacker
at Porter Bros. in Orient for $115.
This year 231 bushels of wheat would
bring $685. and would buy a half dozen
overshot hay stackers instead OF one.
In 1889 he was married and started
in the cattle business. For all the
wheat raised during the fret year of
married life he received $146 WHICH
wouldn't be enough to buy sed with
now for some of our young farmers.
It was about this time that he took
a load of hogs to Orient and couldn't
sell them at any price and ccalves
brought So each and cows less than
$40. A young farmer in this town
cashed a wheat check the other day
for $4,000. With that much money in
those days he could have purchased
nearly a township of land.
This ought to be evidence enough
that the revolutionized farming meth
DDS OF today are the salvation of the
country. BY diversified production
many of the old timers are retiring on
easy streets and the younger man who
is willing to put forth q little ambition
is able to grasp golden opportunities.
