been proud of Independence Day and
the ideals that brought it into being,
and on this particular Fourth, 1918,
il the women of 1875 could be here
they would realize that their descend
ants have not drifted away from
these ideals and that the Americans
who have come more recently to this
land have been drawn by the same
vision of freedom which the founders
of the Republic had.
These great groups OF our for
eign-born are the people who have
been fighting for centuries for demo-
cracy and liberty in the Old World
just as our ancestors fought here.
A wonderful faith in America, trust
that they will here realize their ideals
and find for their children a better
chance, bring them to us. We are
beginning to understand we have as
much to learn from them as we have
to teach them, and that altogether
we must work for the realization of
our ideal America.
Never has there been such an
'all-American Fourth or one which
expressed so truly and fully the in
tent of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence. From all quarters
of the globe America has drawn to
herself loyal citizens bringing her the
best from the old land. New faith
and strength will leap in the hearts
of those people fighting in Europe
against autocracy and terrorism. when
they learn the tidng of this Inde-
pendence Day on which their former
so overwhelmingly re-
affirm the pledge of America to the |
of the world"

THE FEDERAL EXPLOSIVE LAW.

The Federal Explosives Act pro-
hibits the manufacture, sale, pur-
chase and possession of all explo-
sives and their ingredients, in time
CT war, without a license. In other
words, the dealer must have a Ii
cense, and the purchaser must have 4
license. The dealer must keep an
itemized record showing the name
and address of purchaser, his license
number, kind and quantity of explo-
sives purchased, and purpose for
which it is to be used. This also
ccmpels practically every drug store
in the United States to have a license
permitting them to have in posses
sion and sell explosives ingredients,
and the buyer must have a license
when purchasing these ingredients in
quantities OF an ounce or more, and
the dealer must keep the same record
as the party who sells dynamite
These ingredients are: Bichromates
CELEBRATES, Chromates, Nitrates, Nit
rio Acid, Perchlorates, Perborates,
Permanganates, PeroXides and Phos-
phorous, in their various forms.
This law will be rigidly enforced
in the future; il having been in eff
ect since November IS, 1917, and ev-
cry dealer has had time to familiar
ize himself with the law and its de-
tails, and no excuse will be accepted
in the future. Violation of this Act
carries a penalty of $4,000 fine or
imprisonment in Federal prison, or
both. A careful and systematic
check is being made, by Federal
of every dealer in the
State who handles explosives of in
regardless OF location or
size. An inspector OF some deputy
may drop in any day, and dealers
should not allow themselves to be
caught unprepared.
There is a United States Explo-
sives Licensing Officer in every coun-
ty, and such dealers as have not al !
ready produced their license should |
take mediate steps to do so.
This is considered one of the most 1
important war measures enacted by
our Congress, and dealers can not be
100 careful in making sales OF explo-
iives or their ingredients;

TO FLOUR MILLERS IN THE
STATE OF KENTUCKY.

1. For your information, and in
order that you may be able to give
intelligent answers to growers, deal
ers and millers on the subject of
wheat of the 1918 crop:
2. The shipping value of wheat
at your station based on the price at
the best terminal market given in my
bulletin No. 55, less the freight to
that market. For most all points in
Kentucky, Newport News is the most
favorable market.
g.. The Newport News price of
No 1 wheat is S2.3S%. If your
lowest rate to that point is Ice, the
shipping value of Mol wheat at
your station is s2.22%; No. 2 wheat
is &c less than No. /; and No. is &c
less than MOL.
A. AS in Kentucky there are few
growers who raise enough wheat to
be able to ship car load OF wheat to
the terminal market; and as it is
more satisfactory to them to sell it
locally, the grower must be prepared
to sell to the grain dealer or miller
at fair local price on the assump-
tion that the wheat must be bought
by the miller or grain dealer on a
basis which will deliver it to the
Grain Corporation at the buying
markets. This would be some
where about sc per bushel less than
TIE shipping value as above indicat-
ed.
5. Having thus arrived at the
price at your station, it is
possible that when the maximum
flour and food prices for mills at
your station are determined by the
Grain Corporation, it will be at such
a price as will allow maximum price !
in it's local trade, to pay for home
grown wheat. something more thar !
the above minimum price; but that
additional price of wheat is depend
ent upon local mills having a flour
trade that is urgent enough to make |
it possible for them to sell -four al
the maximum prices given for your
station.
6. Buyers who pay less than the |
basis as covered by paragraphs two |
and four subject themselves to the |
charge of proiteering and its con
sequences.

WISHEK INDICTED
BY The FEDERAL
JURY; MUST FACE
SERIOUS CHARGE
Former Candidate for Gov
ernor of North Dakota
In the Limelight

John H. Wishek. banker Of Ashley,
Mcintosh county, former candidate
for governor Of North Dakota, has
been indicted by the United States
grand jury for alleged violation of
the espionage act.
A bench warrant for his arrest
was placed in the hands of the Unit
ed States marshal today for process,
and word has been received from
Judge w. S. Lauder of Wahpeton,
whom Wishek has retained as coun-
sci, that the defendant will appear in
Fargo on his own volition to arrange
for bail. The case will be tried at the
Bismarck term of court.
Five to six counts are included in
the indictment, which charges the
banker with making a statement to
the effect that 1t is not safe TO deal
with national banks that bought
United States Liberty bonds, because
the government could confiscate their
property, and not that of a state
bank.
Wishek has been a resident of Nc
Intosh county for the last 81 years.

SUMMARY OF War

Russia's delegates at Brsst- -LitoVsk
have halted the German invasion of
Great Russia by agreeing TO the peace
terms offered Feb. 21. Peace was
made, they report 20 the BolsheVik
\ government, because every day OF
! delay meant more demands by the
Germans. Added provisions require
the Russians not only 60 retire from
Turkeys Asiatie provinces, but also
! from territory in the regions Of karsl
Batoum and karabash, taken from
the Turks during past wars.
Berlin also announces the signing OF
peace terms and the cessation Of
operations. When the German for
ward movement halted the invaders
were at Narva, 100 miles west of
Petroprad, and approaching Luga, So
miles southwest. The greater part Of
the Ukraine also has been cleared of
the Bolsheviki. Much war material
and more than 5000 prisoners have
been captured BY the Germans in
the Russian campaign.
Germany apparently is determined
TO give the BoiaheViki but q narrow
strip along the Gulf Of Finland and
at the request of the Finnish govern
ment is TO undertake the expulsion Of
sheVik Red guards from southern
FINLAND. With Esthonia under Ger
man control and Finland freed from
BoIsheVik sway, the BolsheViki will
have less than 200 miles Of coast line
along the Finnish gulf. German
troops already have landed on the
Aland islands at the entrance 20 the
Gulf Of Bothnia and will make the
islands the base of their operations
in support Of the Finnish govern
ment. Germany has assured Sweden
that she has no territorial interest in
the AIand islands.
On the western front the Germans
are becoming more active. Their
raidinu operations have increased in
scope and are approaching the size of
planned attacks. The attacks on the
American sector against the French
in Champagne and elsewhere, and
against the British lines were in
greater strength last week than has
been usual heretofore. The enemy
artillery fire also is Increasing on all
the fronts. Except in Flanders the
military operations and the heralded
German blow or blows may be made
soon.
American officers and privates who
distinguished themselves in the re-
pulse of the German attack north
west of Toul last week have been
decorated BY the French government,
war crosses being given the men in
the presence Of Premier Ciemenceau.

Bad feeling, it is said, has existed

White alleges that when Sloan

a threat to "trample him into the
earth" and having only one arm with

self defense.
White came here from Linton,
