consumption of sugar to three pounds

trying very hard to break thru the
German lines at any one point, and
while it is a relief to know that they
are now 60 miles away from Paris at
their nearest point, his object in the
offensive has been not to retake ter
ritory so much as to reduce the NOR
ale Of the German army. One must
not underestimate the German
strength, however. With proper time
for recuperation, they will still be
able to deal powerful blow, altho it
is believed that their blows will never
have the punch that those during the
offensive of March Fl had. While
the Allies have driven the Huns back
to the old Hindenburg line, they still
have long way before they will have
driven them back onto German soil
Before TITS war can ever end, it will
be necessary to fight the Germans
on their own soil and give the sol.
diers and the citizens Of that mis-.
guided country taste of the medicine
which they have been dosing out ia
the French and the Belgians. Elk
perts declare that the war is apt ia
last a year or two longer. Before
the Huns are brot to their knees, Am
erica must be prepared to make many
more sacrifices. Our soldiers have
done mighty well, but they have only
started.

BUY THEM, W !! =; S; BUY THEM!
DON'T BE OVERCONFIDENT

We should not become too opti-
mistic over an early ending of the
war. Since July 10, when Foch's
great counter offensive began, many
thousands Of Huns have been either
killed or captured, while the loss to
the Allies has been much less. The
British alone in few weeks fighting
have captured $4,000 Huns, besides
making good Germans" out of thous-
ands Of others. The Allies now have
a preponderance of man power on the
western front and Foch is able to
play his reserves up and down the
line, hitting the Germans hard blows
here and there, just where it will have
the greatest effect. Foch has been
able to choose his points of attack and
the Germans have had to take their
medicine. The Huns evidently want
ed a nice quiet retirement to the old
Hindenburg line, but the Allies kept
following them up, hammering away
at them, inficting great damage.
Foch has had two objects in making
his great counter offensive. One Of
them was to kill and capture Germans,
and the other was put fear into their
hearts. When a man is afraid, he is
already half beaten. The way the
Huns have come in to give themselves
up, shows that they are afraid of the
Allies. Foch has evidently not been

GOOD ROADS

A great deal of good work has been
done this year in the way of building
good graded roads in Ward county,
many of the townships building more
grades during the past three months
than they had done in the seventeen
years previous to this time. The
county commissioners are encourag-
ing the building Of good graded roads,
because they know that this is the
only way that we are going to have
good permanent roads within a rea-
sonable length of time. One of the
most enthusiastic good roads boosters
in the state is Peter Vandenoever,
county commissioner of Ward county,
from the First District. Mr.. Van
denoever is a practical road builder
and often gets right out on the grad
er and gives a demonstration of build
ing roads. One day recently, Mr..
Vandenoever was present at a dem
onstration given by the owner of the
company which sold Waterford town
ship twelve foot blade grader, where
in four hours and half, a half mile
of splendid highway was complete.
And this road is there to stay and

care is taken in it's maintenance.
The county commissioners at their
annual state conventions, pay great
deal of attention to the study and dis
cussion of building good roads. Ex-
perts have addressed the various con-
ventions and the consensus Of opin-
ion is that a graded road should be
thirty feet wide, and built with a
grader, the dirt being drawn from
either side and filled gradually to the
center, where it is packed with a
tractor which pulls the grader. This
leaves an eighteen inch ditch on either
side of the road and the grade is just
sloping enough to shed the water
nicely. Generally nine rounds com
pletes the 30-foot road and such a
road can be built at an average cost
Of S65 per mile.

WANTED-A BOY

Two or three weeks ago, small
advertisement was run in the indie
pendent by widow who wished a
good home for her thirteen-year-old
son on farm. The boy was snapped
UP next day after the paper was out
and there have been no fewer than
fifty inquiries. Many have offered
such boy good home, with chance
to attend school and to earn some
thing besides his board There is al
ways a place for the right kind of a
chap who is willing to make himself
useful. There must be thousands of
lads in the large cities who do not
know where the next meal is coming
from. A great many of them could
find good homes on North Dakota
farms and at the same time pave the
way to become mighty useful men.

Potatoes are apt to be rather cheap
the coming winter, as compared to
former prices, but not a bushel should
be permitted to freeze. Last year,
quite a severe freeze about the mid
die of October, ruined thousands of
bushels. In this latitude, it is never
safe to let the potatoes remain in the
ground after the last Of September.
Potatoes have sold in Minot this week
for sixty cents a bushel but the price
may be higher before spring. At
this price, potatoes make about the
cheapest food obtainable at this time,
and it is blessing that our crop of
spuds is so plentiful.

Is miles of such road this year with
one of these machines at a cost, of
S64 per mile, according to Chas.
Moore, chairman of the township
board who built the roads.
Mckinley township also bot one of
these graders and completed about Is
miles of good graded highway this
year.
Practically every township north of
Minot has ordered one of these grad
ers.
In one township, where there were
but three miles Of graded roads, the
township had been levying $500 per
year for roads for seventeen years.
At that rate, it would take 4O8 years
to build the 72 miles of road in the
township, and approximately more
than half million dollars. If one
mile of road can be built for $65, all
of the roads in the township ought
to be graded within six years, by
raising the same amount, and leave
enough money to buy grader in
addition.
The old system of building roads
with slush scrapers and Fresnos, is
simply throwing money away as far
oo 81 oSllE IOouo 10 SOiiSOlHCu. IL
will not be long before all townships
will get in line in the proper way of
building and maintaining roads.
Ward county bot four of these
twelve-foot graders that have done re-
markable service, but each township
should have one grader to keep up
the ~ miles of road. In this way,
they can get the benefit of the auto
mobile money which will be spent to
maintain the graded roads, as the
automobile money is only available to
maintain roads that have already been
built and not for building the roads,
so the townships that have the graded
roads can get the benefit of this auto
mobile money, while those that have
no graded roads cannot. We hope
to live to see more interest taken in
building roads, as this is the only way
to get anywhere. We must get away
from the old expensive system that
does not bring results.

Lesson In Punctuation.

At school one day the English in

pupils to punctuate what appeared to
be meaningless tumble Of words.
At first glance it appeared to be an un-

thought and the proper punctuation
marks made it clear enough.
The sentence was as follows: "That
