Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1918 farm and garden operations de-
ponds prosperity or our "going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant ON credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill
A good piece of garden ground
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!

Bursting Charge
Missed i'm Flight

g-(Correspondence of The
Associated Press. )-That the burst
ing charge of shells from the Ger
man long-range guns is mixed while
the projectiles are in actual flight is
the belief of French scientists, &C
cording to a technical Journal pub
lished here. >.s
When the Smelling of Paris began
it was noticed that the explosion OF
g. shell produced a cloud Of black
smoke mixed with a little that was
white and accompanied by a strong
smell of ether. Recently the smoke
has been entirely white and very
light, the ether .odor persisting.
No shell that failed to explode has
been found, nor even an entire fuse,
indicating how delicate and reliable
the explosive 1t. This fact leads ex-
perts' to suppose that the shell is
charged with two liquid explosives,
separated by the perforated parti-
ton which is known to exist in the
center of the projectile.
When the shell is fired at a high
angle the liquid in the upper end
combines with that in the lower
chamber, and churned by the yio-
lent rotation, produces at the mo-
ment Of impact, three minutes later,
a perfect mixture. This would ex-
plain, it is said, the. ability of the.
charge to resist the enormous shock
when fired and the remarkable uni
9ormity of the explosions. g..

Conibar Assigned By Fed

tor To North Dakota

Federal Food Administrator E. F.
Iadd was informed today that E
HI. Conibar, an experienced thresh-
erman, has been assigned to North
Dakota and will work under the Fed
eraI Food Administration to give as
sistance in the conservation Of grain
by cooperating with threshing ma
chine owners to eliminate waste.
It has been recognized by the Unit
ed States Food Administration that
there is an enormous waste Of grain
in the United States every year be-
cause Of imperfect threshing large
ly caused by threshing machines that
were not in proper condition. To
remedy this the government is or
ganizing all threshermen and Is TAX
ing definite steps to see that every
threshing machine that goes into the
grain fields this fall is in first class
condition.
The Federal Food Administrator Of
North Dakota has perfected a state
wide organization. working under the
supervision of the experiment de-
partment Of the Agricultural college,
to eliminate this waste in threshing
and Mr.. Conibar is the expert who
will assist in this work. He comes

FrenchMachime1ry
Is Ont of Date

William Utterbach, in a letter from
France to Herman Kuehl Of the
Meropole hotel, makes some inter
esting observations on the out Of
date farm machinery used in France,
and describes the trip across the
brine as follows:
The country in general looks fine.
Everything is green, and the small
grains are headed out, and by the
looks Of things they are going to
have a great crop and we won't
starve while over here anyway" says
Mr.. Utterbach.
"They are surely behind the times
in the way Of machinery here. Near
ly everything you see in the line Of
French make has a crank on 1t. All
Of the harvesting machinery is of
American make. In the place where
we are now located, they have a
threshing machine and it looks as big
as an American box car.
The trip across the big drink
was fine. We didn't see any of the
kaisers big fish, and the trip was
uneventful, but enjoyable just the
same.
Il am now where I can hear the
big guns, and see an air duel once in
a while, but I am not losing any sleep
on that account
Il am still single and haven't
made love to any Of the French girls
yet, as Fargo and the home girls suit
me best.
Il have met some Of the engineers
you read so much about, and we
hear some interesting accounts from
them"

Cambria rs and minor operations 80,
making altogether $40 divisional en-
gagements.
Owing to the detection Of the
Russians the Germans have been
able to place 210 divisions on the
western front this year. From
january to July "a, these divisions
have been engaged about 430 times,
so that each has been thrown into
battle at least twice during the half
year. When the present battle be-
gan the Germans had % divisions on
that portion of the field westward
from Rheims as far as Chateau
Thierry Now the front has been
widened by the Allied attack from
the latter city to the Aisne and the
Germans have hurried more forces
into the line, bringing the total now
engaged on this part Of the front to
over 40 and placing a, considerable
strain on the enemy's reserves.
They still have reserve divisions
concentrated at some places behind
their lines, but many units comprised
of these divisions have been sorely
tried this year and it is questionable
whether they are all sufficiently re-
cuperated to participate In a new
attack should the German staff de-
eide to order one to retrieve the de-
feat oe the crown nrinea
