BUSINESS MEN ASSIST

Hamilton, April 23.-Spccial. - The
campaign of the Farm bureau 10 de-
stroy sophers in the county is about
completed and much success has been
secured. In a few cases only have
.he farmers neglected to make Il Sc
iious effort to cNterminate the pests. 1t
mas Deen round that the poison is taken
readily, even after the green stuff is
out.
On Sunday night a tired crew re-
turned from Charles Heights where
they had been engaged all dav in pois-
oning gophers. This was an effort OF
the chamber of commerce, co-operat
ang with the Farm bureau and Comfy
Agent Spring, to cover land belonging
10 non residents, which would have
been left as a menace to the sur
rounding farms where the farmers
nave been making every effort to COM
bat the gophers.
Put In long Day.
The work was all volunteered and
the merchants of Hamilton donated a
very substantial lunch that was taken
along The party left from Hamilton
at O'Clock and until late in the after
noon We're busy spreading poisoned
oats where they would do the most
good. At 2 O'Clock they met at the
9. w. Gerlach home where the lunch
was much enjoyed and then started
their work again.
Results Effective.
Everywhere they found effective re-
suits from the poison 1t was deter
mined without question that the go
pnefS VIII eat the oats readily even
after the green stuff has come up in
quantities. In many instances parties
passing over ground that had been
poisoned by members of the party who
had preceded them found numbers of
dead Sophers. This occurred when the
poison had been put out not more than
one half hour previously. in some IN
stances the gophers were found dying
from the poison.
In spite of the fact that war gardens
were waiting for most of the members
OF the party they all felt that they had
accomplished much good work and had
protltahly spent their time 1t is prob
ahie that in another year many similar
poisonssbreading bees will be held Ap-
parentiy RavaIli county is determined
10 support the gophers no longer

ONLY ONE WAY
TO LEARN TRUTH

Nasty reports Of the treatment o.
American prisoners in Germany are
coming with too great frequency to
be ignored.
There is no need to dwell on the
narrowing details, but it Is sufficient
to say that the reports indicate the
men are half starved, improperly
housed, and are not receiving the.par-
cells consigned to them by the Red
Cross
The American government has
taken the matter up through the
Spanish representatives. Perhaps it
is the best course open, but with all
due respect to the Spanish represent
atives it is far from satisfactory. Ger
many has way Of showing few Of
her best prison camps which are kept
for just such purposes. Ambassador
Gerard knows this too we'll, and has
repeatedly written of it. The Spanish
Representatives, and perhaps a desire
to please the. German government,
might be inclined to accept the evil
dence of these "show camps" as con-
elusive.
There is one method and only that
would be satisfactory, and 1t is doubt
full if that could be arranged. 1t would
be to permit a American delegation to
be to permit an American delegation to
60 to Germany in return for a similar
two delegations could pass through
Switzerland or Holland, investigate
and return.
America has more German prisoners
than Germany has American. Re-
prisals would only react on the Ameri-
cans in Germany, but America could
bffer to extend the identical treat
ment to German prisoners that Ameri.
cans are accorded in Germany.-Fargo

HAVE ONE EFFORT LEFT

Observers are convinced that the
Germans are preparing something else.
It is the general opinion they will
make another attempt to force deci-
sion Since last September they have
brought seventy-six divisions from
other fronts to France, giving them a
total on this front of more than 200
divisions. OF these more than 130
have already been engaged twice. The
losses of most of these 130 divisions
have been so great that the units are
much worn.
Their great effort was in the valleys
of the Disc and the Somme. From
ninety-six to 100 divisions were en-
gagged between March 81 and 81. Since
then in Flanders and Picardy about
thirty others have been engaged.
Ready for Final Blow
This leaves only about seventy fresh
divisions of which only perhaps fifty
are of good class and fit for a serious
attack. It Is doubtless these divisions
together with others reconstructed
since the beginning of the offensive,
that Field Marshal Hindenburg Is now
concentrating for what he hopes will
be the final blow.
Concentration is taking place at
some distance behind the line whence
the large bodies of troops can be
between Reins and the sea.
The French are confident such an
attack has no chance of success. \
surprise now is practically impossible.
Foch to make the defensive tractics
reserve freely as he pleases.

In a letter received from Fred Benn
this week, he says Louie Smith was
taken to the hospital near where he
is stationed. All the young folks will
remember Louie. Fred did not say
what was the matter with Louie, but
he remarked upon how surprised he
was to see him in France when the
last time he saw him was in Wash.
burn and did not know that he had
enlisted.
Oscar Anderson; who joined the
coast artillery, was rejected after
1wo weeks in the service on account
of his arm in which he had blood
poison the winter before. He stayed
out on the coast and on March 3Oth
sailed on an oil tank as second
engineer for Australia.

News From the Boys Who
fire With Our Uncle Sam

A letter from Art Herred dated April
1st was received by his mother on the
goth. He says he is again in a rest
camp after his second time in the
front trenches. He is feeling fine,
and like many of the other boys would
like to have tobacco sent him. His
parents are sorry they cannot send it
but the government will not allow any
packages to be sent the boys at pres
ent.
Word has been received at last
from Archie Fahlgren. On March 18th
cablegram was received by his father
stating that he was wounded. He has
written that he was gassed but is now
recovered and that he would be sent
to the front again. He writes very
cheerful letters for one who has seen
the terribleness of this war.
Paul Brosz, who left here with the
first bunch of selected men, is still
at Camp Dodge, in the signal corps.
He was put in the honor roll from
Dogden, the last place that he worked
before leaving, but his parents live
north Of Washburn, and he says he
calls Washburn his home so he has
been placed on the Washburn honor
roll.
Each star that will be pinned upon
the big service flag next Sunday will
have the name embroidered on it Of
one of the boys who has gone from
this community. A relative or friend
has been asked to do the pinning. It
will be very impressive service.

If you have bought or will buy one

has made the above possible. Why
not you? If you have purchased to
your greatest possible extent, pass
this on to someone else. Everyone of
