Fourth Liberty Loan mas not been Of
ficlally announced. It is commonly
thought, however, In official circles
that. the. amount will be SIX billion
dollars. This is. twice the amount
asked by the Government Tor the
Third loan.
What will this mean? It will mean
that there. will have to oe an II.

be necessary for every man, woman
and child to make an effort, to sacri-
flee, to give up many things they
would like to do or buy, and not only
to do their full duty, but make 1t
their business to see that every other
man, woman and child does his or
her duty.
The Ninth District occupies a very
enviable position among the districts
of this great country. The Ninth Dis
trict must retain this position. In
order to do so, there must be put
forth a united, whole-hearted effort

Strdct is undoub tedly responsible TO
9 large extent for the fine record
made. The natural energy and clear
sighted Americanism OF the great ma
sjority Of Its citizens is responsible for
the balance. Whatever the cause. the
results have put this district in class
by itself. The managers Of other dis
stricts look to the Ninth Federal Re-
serve District for information and In
SEPARATION. They wantsto know how it
was done; Many of the rules laid
down by the Government for the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign in
other districts are admitted to be un-
necessary in the Ninth. The authori-
ties in charge at Washington admit
that the men and women Of the North
west will do what. is asked Of them
in their own way, out will do it prompts
,ly and efficiently.
From all this, it is evident that a
great deal will be expected from the
Ninth Federal Reserve District in the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The
standard set is so high that it will
take extra effort to maintain it. That
means that all those who worked hard
during the Third campaign will nave
to work harder during the Fourth cam

aided by many hundred recruits.
There will have to be more intensive
organization so that more individuals
will be impressed with the necessity

his speech was southern and he was
lying very still and patient in mar
row bed in King Georges hospital
alongside some of the Tommies with
whom his unit had been brigaded these
last two months. He hadn't been in
the hospital two hours before his soft
speech and pretty way Of saying things
had attracted the ward sister.
As soon as I entered the ward to ask
if there were any American boys there,
sister said: "There's Ulysses over
there by the window. We keep him in
the sunlight because we love his talk
and he is just like a canary. If you
put him in the shade he gets sad at

Select Your Seed Corn.

Every farmer in Mile Laos county
should plan to select his seed corn soon.
September 10 to 20 has been set for
the whole state for this week. This
seed should be selected from the
standing stalks and before the first
heavy frost. Select one full bushel
e basketsy for every two acres you
expect +n plant next year.
personally believe Minnesota No.
Is to be the best variety for silage
throughout the entire county and the
best variety for grain throughout the
southern portion Of the county. For
the central and north end of the coun-
ty Minnesota No. %, which is 70
row whitecap dent variety, is not
equaled. Other varieties may be good
but cannot be recommended as equal
to the varieties mentioned.
Never again should any Mile Laos
county farmer obtain seed corn from
the southern part of the state or the
Twin Cities. Never again should any
Mile Laos county farmer use seed for
fodder purposes only, such as elephant
fodder corn or other corn of like ma
ture. No banker, real estate firm, or
any other person should exhibit such
tall or rank growing varieties as good
for this county. This is great mis-
take. Mature corn for grain and ma
ture, or nearly mature, corn for silage
must be our watchword. Select your
seed corn. If you have no corn at
home plan to make arrangements with
some neighbor for some.
Every farmer and business man in
Mile Laos county is urged to contrib
ute. Let us make this campaign sue
cess. Losses in Mile Laos county
last year due to poor seed corn may be
estimated at minimum of $4,000.

Historic Bazoches and the Castle.

Historic Bazoches and the Castle.
& The following is Of interest from the
fact that Bazoches is in the heart Of
the war zone where our boys are OPP
Grating:
During the centuries Of control by
the Gauls, the Romans and the bar
barian hordes from the Rhine valley,
each in turn battled for the important
highway junction at Bazoches, which
branches to Rheims on the east, Sois-
sons on the west, and Chateau Thierry
on the south.
During the eighth century, the
period of Pepin and Charlemange, re-
Igious institutions were established
in the vicinity, and Fismes and Braines
both have cathedrals out of proportion
in size to the meager population, which
at no period could have been great
because Of the almost regular inva-
sions of, the enemies, accompanied by
destruction of lives and property.
The fact that there still exists, al
most intact, the great medieval stone
fortress of Bazoches, would indicate
that this point was always of the
greatest military value. The enormous
walled and lowered quadrangle stands
alone in the open, guarding the APP
proaches from every direction. One
of chain of fortresses of the Middle
Ages, extending from Verdun to
Amiens, it has escaped destruction,
though nearly all it's companions have
succumbed to the invader or to de-
cay. The exterior shows but few scars
by the medieval engines Of war, the
gathering ram and the catapult.
The wide and deep moat still ex-
lists except before the great gates
where the drawbridge was swung
across and is now filled to support a
fine road which leads into the i'm
mense courtyard. The four walls,
without windows, appear to be about
60 feet high, and are said to be from
IL to 16 feet thick. Great twin towers
stand sentinels at each of the four
corners, with here and there single
tower between. The towers have
simply the usual narrow openings for
observation and the arrows of the
archers. The great courtyard is sur.
rounded by the living quarters of the
soldiers Of the fortress, and large
storage rooms, and shelters for cat
tie. The century -old wells still supply
good water. The great banquet hall
is now used as stable for sheep.
Originally the moat was filled with
water from the River Vesle, which
is not far away. The moat is now
always dry and is filled with large
( bushes and here and there a tree of

PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT.
Forty.ons Million Pounds Contracted
for by Government

y. II. Liebers, head of the Pinto
beA Division. U. S. Food Admins.
tration, has contracted forty.one mil.
lion pounds of beans from growers In
Colorado. New Mexico and adjoining
states. This amount is considered to
be at least so per cent OF total amount
available. Contracts are coming In
daily from growers and all indics.
lions are that the division will get at
least 95 per cent of the 1917 crop Of
Pinto beans still unsold.
One million pounds of extra choice
seed has been stored ut the following
points: Denver. Greeley, Trinidad,
Clayton. New Mexico and Albu.
querque. New Mexico. This seed will
be sold to growers at the $3.50 price
plus local freight. cost of storage. In.
surance and other incidental ex.
penses. The price should not exceed
$s.l5 per cwt. For this. the grower
is getting an unusual quality OF dry
land Pinto beans, rccleaned and well
sacked.
Last week the Food Administration
had orders for immediate shipment as
follows: 90 cars to Boston, so cars
to New York City. so cars to Philadel.
phla and so cars to Chicago. These
shipments will average 10000 pounds
per car. The Food Administration
expects to keep moving these beans
as fast as they can get euulpment and
orders for them from the eastern mar.
kets. II should be noted that this 10
the first time that Pinto beans have
been shipped to these eastern con.
suming centers. After the Food Ad.
ministration gets through placing this
years crop on tho market, the east
will be as familiar with tho Pinto
bean as 1t Is with the Navy. This
should practically solve all future
troubles in getting a satisfactory mar.
ket for Pinto beans.
