THRESnING SEASON
WORK is PROGRESSING AND
YIELDS ARE LARGE.

Conditions for threshing are very
favorable at present and many ma
chimes are humming throughout Lake
county. The VIM. Casey machine is
now at work on the Ketcham farm
northwest of Madison, and the outfit
belonging to Clarence Smith is locat-
ed on another Ketcham place.
Reports of fine yields are now
coming in. Frank Hoisington, living
five miles northwest of the city, had
one 40-acre piece of oats that went
60 bushels to the acre and also a 40
of barley that averaged 40 bushels.
Up around Redfield wheat is report
ed as high as Al bushels per acre,
with prospects for a rather uniform
average yield.
Since grain took a sudden down
ward trend last Saturday 1t is pre-
dicted that much grain will be stor-
ed. Yesterday oats were being
bought In at so cents and barley at
S5 cents. The fluctuations of the
tide OF war combined with the fact
of a bumper crop is sure to make the
grain market quotations vary al
times

CITY Commission
SOME COMPLAINTS FILED AND
SOME SUGGESTIONS MADE.

The city commission met at 8
o'clock last evening in the city hall
and listened to the reading of two
communications from a state depart
ment. They also patiently heard the
complaints of several citizens who
appeared to present appeals relative
to moving down the weeds that are
to be found in different parts of the
city and trimming low hanging
branches on trees. The commission
also listened to a complaint concern
ing a certain mud hole which is to
be found near the lower laundry, the
puddle being made by the surplus
water that is used by the ice men in
washing their ice. These matters
were referred to the officers of the
proper departments and will receive
attention.
A communication from the state
department of insurance was read.
Mr.. Van Camp expressed his appre-
citation for the cooperation of the re-
spective mayors of the state in pre-
venting fires. The letter presented
an invitation to the fire chief of Mad
ison to attend the national meeting
Of the fire marshals of North Amer
lea. This will occur in Sioux Falls
September 3, 4, 5 and 6. A second
communication from Insurance Com
missioner Van Camp related to
guarding and protecting elevators.
Armed watchmen were suggested
and all mechanical means possible to
be near at hand for instant use in
case of fire. Commissioners Schmidt
was instructed to take up this latter
matter with the. county commission
ers.
AS there were no other matters of
business claiming attention the meet
ing adjourned.

SEMI-0FFICIAE !"
VOTE AGAINST:
AMENDMENTS
Indications from Returns to Sec
retary of State That the
-. League Has Lost

If the vote from fifteen scattering
counties is any criterion, some of the
most important, if not all, of the
leagues proposed amendments, have
lost Out of a total of 25,504 votes
cast for governor alone in these coun-
ties, theSamendment making the sky
the limit for bonded Indebtedness has
received but 12,200 votes, while the
amendment amending the method OF
amending the constitution has but 12,-
PAS. Both have failed of majority
of the votes cast for governor. Only
two of the counties tabulated-Walsh
and Cass-have reported the actual to-
tai number of votes cast. The esti-
mate for the other counties is based
on the number of votes cast on the
governOrship, which in the state is ex-
pected to run several thousand short
of the full electoral strength repre-
sented in last weeks election.
Not until the state convassing board
meets the first Tuesday in December
will actual figures be obtainable. 1t is
doubtful whether even then the ques-
tion will be determined, as, should any
considerable number of the at least
5000 absent soldiers ballot which
have been sent to France be return
ed before the first of the new year,
they may turn the tide one way or the
other.
The ,secretaryp of states office,
which has made the tabulation from
which these figures Ie taken. has re-
ceived unofficial returns on the
amendments from only fifteen out of
the So counties.

HAIL DEPARTMENT
PAYS HALF LOSS
Premiums Under. Voluntary Sys-
+ TEN Continue Insufficient


North Dakota,s state hail depart
ment paid SO per cent this year on
the total hail loss as adjusted by the
department representatives. The
total losses as adjusted were $33,
141.9S;; the amount paid the insured
was $17,565.24. The department re-
ceived $19,9O9.70 in premiums, and
the whole amount available. including
the balance on hand December 1, 1917,
was $20;682.55. In the payment tof
lossestTandC adjusters' fees of $100S.S7
there was paid out $19,693;75, and
the balance now on hand is $9SS.S0.
The department had hoped that the
proposed hail amendment. enabling
the legislature to provide for the
levying of a general land tax with
which to create a universal hail in
surance fund would carry, but the
fate Of this am mendment as well as
others proposed at the recent election
is still in doubt. .-.

Italian Headquarters, Tuesday, Nov.
: IL R.-Aviators G. A. Mcleod Of Mon
treal and Clarence o. Young Of Des
Moines, Ia, who We're taken prisoner
iby the. Austrians during the Italian
campaign and have reached the ltal-
ian line bring direct news of condi-
tions in the interior Of Austria.
Horrible food conditions prevail in
the interior Of Austria" said Mcleod,
"and 1t is quite possible that a mil
lion people may die there during the
winter from disease, exposure and
lack of food
Scenes along the railway are like
those on the battlefield We saw
bodies scattered here and there as a
result of men crowding on the top
of trains and being swept off by tun-
nels. sThere were also bodies of
wounded, taken from Red Cross cars
and left to die Terrible sanitary con-
ditions prevail in little towns.
'.What Austria needs is food. Other
prisoners and are alive only be-
cause of food received from outside Of
Austria. For three days two sother
prisoners and myself had between us
only a little piece of bad bread"

NO NEW DRAFT
ORDERS EXPECTED

Washington, Nov. 14.-New orders
further curtailing operations of the
national machinery Of draft boards
are to be issued soon. 5toppage of
all physical examinations in connec-
tion with the classification of all Is
year old registrants is likely.
There are also 100000 Greeks and
Italians and smaller numbers OF al
lied nationalities in the United, States
now held in Glass 5 as aliens, whom
draft treaties recently negotiated
make liable to reclassification unless
existing regulations are .annulled.
eEoards probably will zbe relieved
promptly of the necessity for carrying
out the law in this respect. District
boards which consider appeals have
only started their work on the 19 to
81 class, though the local boards are
nearly through with depend ency. class
ifications. Orders, are being framed to
relieve the reRistrants affected.

HAY TOO HIGH

North Dakota Cattlemen Weed,
ing Out Culls to Save Big
Expense of Feeding

With hay at $44 per ton and scarce,
North Dakota stockmen are culling
out their herds and disposing of every.
thing which is not prime stock,
worthy of such a luxurious diet The
immediate result will be a depletion
Of North, Dakota herds, but ultimately
it is expected to greatly improve the
standard. The average price for hay
the last ten years has been SIS. This
years high cost is due to a small crop
and to shortage in labor for the har.
vesting of the small amount Of hay
that was available Hay seems unob-
tainable at any price and the only
remedy is the reduction in the size OF

CANCELLATION

Olsness Working In Interests of
Bill Putting Lawyers Out
of Small Cases

State Insurance Commissioner S. A.
3GlsneSss Intends to go somewhat -afield
at the opening Of the next legislative
assembly to urge legislation which
will make effective statute now on
North Dakota's books providing for
courts of conciliation to which trivial
township differences may be referred.
Senator Strom Of Hillsboro was the
author Of bill providing for concil-
iation tribunals which was passed sew
eral years ago. At each township elec-
tion since that time the people have
solennly elected conciliation tribunes
and they have as solemnly proceeded
to forget them and to continue to-
carry through justice, district and
sometimes even to supreme court liti-
cation which Commissioner Olsness
believes could have been settled with
some friendly intervention
Mr.. Olsness has received from Thor
J. Benson, a prominent Scandinavian
attorney Of Chicago who has made
speciality of investigating courts OF
Cancellation for the municipal courts
commencing articles which the North
Dakota commissioner has written for

was also prominently considered at
the annual meeting of the North Da-
kota Bar association in Bismarck last
summer, when prominent Minot bar
rister presented a paper on the sub.
ject which attracted much attention
and elected approving comment from
Chief Justice Andrew A. Bruce Of the
North Dakota supreme court. In view
of the general interest which has been
created, some action which will re-
lieve the higher courts from the con-
gestion of insignificant litigation is
expected from the next legislative as
