Girl Tractor Operators
Are Needed In France

New York, Feb. 16.-Western girls
with strong constitutions and willing
dispositions who can speak French
and operate farm tractors are needed
to till the land and aid in the rehabit-
alton of the devastated districts of
France, said Miss Anne Morgan. She
recently returned from France, where
for nine months she has been engaged
in relief work.
The civilian division of the Ameri-
can fund for French wounded has TAX
en- charge of % villages in the Aisne
region and of IL near Scissors, Miss
Morgan said. Since last June they
have put $500 acres under cultivation
and have planted 1900 fruit trees.
The cost Of the work was $4,000 a
month.
eve need farm labor and machin-
ery," Miss Morgan explained. "The
Germans Systematically destroyed all
farm implements and carried away the
able-bodied population. Transporta-
ton is the vital problem of the war,
and it is much better that we send
money and labor to France than to
add to the already great transporta-
ton difficulties. The machinery can
be bought there.

practical agricultural experience,
preferably graduates of agricultural
colleges, in groups of 10 with a lead
er and with sufficient backing to in

ALIENS MUST MAKE
ACCOUNT OF PROPERTY

Washington, Feb. 14.-A nation
wide drag-net is being spread by A..
Mitchell Palmer, alien property Gus
todian, to locate enemy aliens who
through ignorance of the law or ma
licious intent, fail to make report of
their property holdings to his office.
In statement today calling on 10y
al Americans assist the govern
ment in apprehending violators of the
law, Mr.. Palmer gave warning that
federal agents are searching the
country from coast to coast for out
standing alien property and that hold
ers Of uncovered property are liable
to fine of $4,000 or ten years i'm
prisonment or both.
Full notice has been given and the
time for filing reports has been liber-
ally extended, Mr.. Palmer said, and
the law will be impartially enforced
against all enemy individuals and
corporations withholding reports of
property in their possession.

ting company, Of Philadelphia, a big
automatic valve concern, was ordered
tonight by the alien property custo-

DEMONSTRATION OF yEGE-
TABLES VERY HELPFUL

Especially at this time when we are
thinking about what to plant in our
gardens Miss NeWton's demonstra-
tion and lecture on vegetables was
very interesting and helpful. Miss
Newton told of the food value of diff
ferent vegetables and we found that
they could form large part Of our
diet if we would only use them. With
the chance for gardens that there is
in North Dakota and the satisfactory
methods Of canning, not single fam
lily should be without vegetables dur
ing any time of the year.
Miss Newton quoted DR.. Wilbur as
saying that there was yet a great
chance that the allies might lose the
war if the women of America through
ignorance, Indifference or wilful re-
fusal did not do their part in the work
of food conservation. Do you belong
to any of these three classes? Think
about it and determine if you are do
ing what you can so that our boys
Over There can have all that our
country can possibly send to them.
They will no want if the women of
America do their bit.
Do not think when you get the re-
cipies from your neighbor who was
interested enough to attend that you
have gained, that you have benefited
as much as she. You did not, for
you only got few Suggestions that
would have benefited you many times
more if you had heard Miss Newton's
lecture first. Miss Newton will be
here sometime during the month of
March. Keep this in mind and watch
for the announcement Of the dates.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR
WAR GARDEN?

This is the time to begin making
your plans: Prof. Wernes, of the
Agricultural college, will be in Valley
City some time in March and deliver
an address on this timely subject. He
will tell you the amount of seed need
ed for a given plot, the proper time
to plant, best location in the garden
for each: vegetable, distance between
plants, how to raise two crops on
part Of the garden, and in fact will
tell you how to raise enough vege-
tables, except, possibly potatoes, from
a lot 50x140 to supply an average
family for a year. Most town peo-
pie have a 50x60 back yard that can
be used for garden. The best pos
sible use Of this amount of space
will be explained.
The articles read in magazines on
this subject are not particularly for
North Dakotans but for every state
in the union. Prof. Werner deals ex-
clusively with conditions in our own
state. His talk is illustrated with
slides.

Not Called Feb. q

3 smarck, Feb. 13.-North Dakota
troops will not be included in the call
for the movement of the last incre-
ment of the first quota Of the nation
al army on February %, according to
instructions received today by Adju-
tant General Angus G.. Fraser from
Provo Marshal General Crowder. The
message, which was received in ans
wer to a query made by Adjutant
General Fraser, did not state when
the North Dakota troops would move.
Moving Time Uncertain
ANY prediction by me at this time
as to when the next increment of the
North Dakota national army will
move" said Adjutant General Fraser,
would be merely guess. l have
no reason to believe it will be defer
red until after the planting season.
any more than what I read in The
Courier-News this morning"
Postponement Of the movement Of
the North Dakota troops until after
the planting season would go long
way toward helping relieve the labor
shortage in the state, in the opinion
of Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor John N. Hagen Approximate
ly 100000 men are awaiting the call,
and if they were all to engage in ag-
ricultural enterprises, many thous-
ands OF acres could be planted by
them.

Ignite CAN BE MADE

Bismarck, Feb. l3.-There's no
mystery about Ignite, announces the
North Dakota fuel administration.
IT'S only our old friend, the wood-pile,
twice removed. The United States
geological survey Identifies the var
ious fuel products in their several
stages as follows: % wood, ~
peat, (3) Ignite, (4) subbituminous,
(5) bituminous coal, (6) semi bitum-
inous, CD semi-anthracite, 80 an
thracite. Much of the Ignite found
in North Dakota is woody, and fire.
quently logs and stumps are found in
the mines. Ignite as it originally
comes from the mine contains about
40 per cent water, but it readily dries
down to eight to ten per cent, and
when stored in dry place with good
ventilation it soon reaches stage
where it burns with a merry crackle,

purposes it is preferable when not

Franklin Pierce Wilson
Dies Suddenlyin Seattle

Joplin (Mo.) Times: Joplin has
been called this week to mourn again
the loss of another Of it's pioneers in
the sudden death of one Of her most
honored and valuable citizens, Frank
lin Pierce Wilson, who passed away
after a weeks illness at Seattle, Wash.
Jan. 80, where he and his son Milo,
were on visit.
The funeral service was held at
the Masonic hall, Tuesday. afternoon,
under the auspices of the I. o. O. F.,
where every available seat was occu-
pied by his fellow townsmen and Wis
iting friends. DR.. C. S. Davis, his
pastor, conducted the service. Over
fifty of his brother Odd Fellows from
Harve and different places along the
line were present and efficiently off,
ciated at the funeral and added their
impressive service at the grave.
Mr.. Wilson had reached the age of
sixty-five years and all his life had
been intensely active in the varied
relations to domestic and social life.
He was born in St. Lawrence, N. Y,
on November 8, 1852. At the age of
II, his parents moved to Wisconsin,
where they remained one year, when
they moved again to Atwater, MIMI,
where he remained until 1880 when
he migrated to North Dakota and
homesteaded in Barnes county.
In 1879 he was united in marriage
to Miss Elinora Hadlock, who still
survives him. After seven years on
the farm the family moved to Valley
City, where he spent the next twenty
years of his life in business. Seven
years ago, in the year 1910, he came
to Montana and has resided ever
since upon his farm about IL miles
north of this city.
Mr.. Wilson leaves to mourn his loss,
besides his widow and three children,
two brothers, Mr.. A. e. Wilson, who
lives in Saskatchewan, Canada, Mr..
A. M. Wilson Of Seattle and Mrs. Ida
Schroeder, who lives in Valley City.
; The children Mr.. Milo R. Wilson,
Mrs. C. w. Cassidy and Miss Juanita
Wilson all reside in Joplin.
. In the death of Mr.. Wilson, an af-
f1icted household loses a devoted and
faithful husband and father, the fra
ternity a faithful member, the church
he always supported as a true friend
and society one of it's most patriotic
and loyal citizens. Mr. Wilson held
the highest personal, social and civil
ideals and we recognize the value of
words when we characterize him as a
pillar of support Of those ideals of
home and society without which ma
tons and civilization would cease to
exist. His place in life will not soon
be filled and large circle will mourn
his loss.

AMERICAN FORCES GIVING
BOOBIES HARD BOMBING

Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. 14-The Amer
lean artillery took brilliant part in
an important French raid yesterday
between Tahure and the Butte Du
Mesnil, in the Champaign, participate
ing in the preparatory bombardment
and the ensuing barrage fire, while
the operation was being successfully
executed.
The action was extremely interest
ing and the result most satisfactory.
The assaulting troops brought back
100 prisoners and they established
in Germany positions to a depth of
three-quarters Of mile along front
of nearly mile.
Was Hard Job
The task of the assaulting forces
was to. attack and take a German
salient dipping into the French posi-
ton. 1t was difficult operation ow-
ing to the nature Of the ground, which
formed basin-like depression, into
which the Germans could pour the
fire of their concentrated guns on
the surrounding heights.
The artillery preparation lasted six
hours and, with the aid of aviators,
it was ascertained that the enemy's
defensive positions, which were re-
markedly strong, had been broken up
to large extent. At 4:15 o'clock in
the afternoon the order was given to
the infantry units to go over the top.
Every man had been instructed fully
regarding the detectives to be obtain
ed.
Undaunted by Rain
Just before this, a steady fine rain
began to make the chilly earth like
a skating rink. The troops, however
advanced with determination, al
though they were obliged to arrest
their progress owing to machine gun
positions having escaped the attention
Of the French and American gunners.
With the help of the courageous
grenadiers, these positions were
stormed and destroyed and their oc-
cupants were either killed or captur-
ed. By 5:15 o'clock rockets announc-
ed that all the detectives had been
gained.
The American gunners, with their
French comrades, extended their
range, putting up an effective barrage
to prevent counter attacks, which,
however, did not come, the Germans
having been completely disconnected.
None of the soldiers suffered injury,
however, although nearly 200 of them
were quartered in the building.
Inmates all Ages
The ages Of the inmates of the nun
merry ranged from two or three days
to almost hundred years. Many of
the infants whodied in the fire and
smoke were only few days or few
weeks old.
The elderly inmates we're housed in
were not Immediately menaced by the
flames
