Federal Game Laws

Regulations governing the taking of
migratory birds, adopted as a result of
international action binding on the
United States and Canada, we're pro-
mulgated BY the president of the United
States on July 81. The new law gives
effect to the terms Of the treaty which
effectually protects such birds in most
Of the North American continent. and in
the main there are only slight changes
in the law as it existed before the treaty.
Under its provisions there is no spring
open season, and the fall open season is
made more uniform throughout the
country. Nevertheless, the several states
have the right under the terms Of the
act to make and enforce their own regu-
lations when these are not Inconsistent
with the Federal rulings, but such state
regulat ations may act only to afford addi-
tional protection 70 migratory birds. and
not to extend the open seasons beyond
those Just promulgated. !. NOR to authorize
methods 0t taking birds not sanctioned
|in Federal act. sS5;

There is some speculation as to what
extent the grasshoppers will make their
appearance in this state next year. In
certain localities in the western part Of
the state this year grasshopp3rs have
been doing considerable damage to the
grown crop and they have been multi.
plying considerably over what they were
IN the previous year. We hear Of them
in considerable number in Tower county
and farther east. but so far Pembins
county is free from them.

Italian journalists. representing the
most prominent newspapers in Italy,
have arrived in this country to study
the methods the United States is using
in pushing the war to successful
finish. They will tour the country and
gather impressions of the aid America
is rendering Italy so that Italians back
home may be better enlightened and
fight with renewed energy during the
remainder of the war.

THE TIMES MAKES a CHANGE

The st. Thomas Times will be issued
from the Grafton Record Office at Graf
ton after this, according to an announce
ment made by Editor Aager last week.
Mr.. Hsger states that shortage Of help
and expensive material is the cause Of
him making the change.
This makes three changes in the news.
paper field in this county in recent
years. The Pink Paper at Bathgate
suspended some time ago. The Hamil.
ton Independent Office was destroyed by
fire, two months ago and the publisher
quit the field and went into other busi-
ness because it did not pay him<t
continue. Now the Times retires from
the county and will be published at
Grafton and issued from the st. Thomas
Office, with the Times Office opened two
days week.
We have been IN the newspaper busi-
ness IN Pembina county for over thirty
five years. During that time we. have
watched with interest the changes that
have been made through changes in
conditions. A new country, with it's
young blood and active businessmen,
supports local paper better than an
older community where the business
gets into a.rut and is being conducted
in pecuniary way. Thousands Of dol
lars are lost annually to the local mer.
chant by allowing the city competitor to
carry off the business through attrac-
tive advertisements in the daily press.
A great deal of this competition would
be overcome If the local merchants only
realized that they should cater to
reading public. There is no local mer-
chant who cannot compete with the
city merchant if he went after the bust.
ness like they do. The overhead ex-
penses of the>local merchantis is less and
he is buying in the same market as is
his competitor away from home.
There are merchants in this county
who do not spend nickle for advertis-
ing but depend solely on their own
popularity for their patronage. One
can throw away money in injudicious
advertising but there is more money lost
by not keeping your name before the
public and letting the people know what
you have to sell, than the other way.
The local newspaper is as necessary in
keeping up the progressive interest of
community as is the church and the
school. If the Times quits St. Thomas
the people of the town will be the losers.
Editor Hagers concludes his remarks
by. saying:
In closing we wish to say that the
patronage of the Times is not commen.
surate with the effort and expense in
volved in It's publication and we trust
the business public will realize that 1t
depends entirely oh our patrons as to
what kind of paper the Times will con-
tinue to be. Y
"The publisher has been connected
with the Times now for more than IS
years. He has given the best years of
his life to its publication and is not
ashamed Of the results achieved.
'The people Of st. Thomas have had
good clean, progressive, readable and
newsy paper. 1t they still want such
paper to be published here they must
support it more generously"

The twenty million dollars spent by
the kaiser and his propaganda in this
country at the beginning of the war
seems to have been money wasted. But
it is like nearly everything else the EN-

pectancy.

 TURNED SOLDIERS
Men Will Be Retained in Military Service on Regular Pay Until They
 Have Self-Supporting Jobs

Returned soldiers will be retained in the military service until recovery is as complete as possible. The men will be grouped in three classes-those who can return to full military duty. those who can serve at home in mili- tary or civil life. and those who are no loner capable of military service. All three classes will be treated ac- cording to the most advanced methods which will include various forms of therapy and gymnastic and mental occupation, in order that they may be physically restored and returned to a healthy and happy frame of mind.
 Most men will be able to return to full military duty. For men in the second class many occupations are possible; they may take up agricul- ture, printing, woodworking. or pho tography, or prepare themselves for the civil service. teaching, or work as statisticians. A great number Of trades and occupations are included in the list, and additions are constant ly being made.
 Men in the third group, so much dis abled that they can no longer give even limited military service. may re- ceive the special additional training offered by the Federal Board for Vo- cational Education. Employers in private industries can not employ, ex- cept with the approval of the Army and Navy authorities, men in the sec ond class.
 The Inquiry Office. Information and Education Service, Department Of Labor. is cooperating in the work for returned soldiers.

HARVEST ARMY" SAVED
 AMERICAS CROPS
Great Task Was Accomplished by Carefully Organized Movement, AL
 most Like a Military Machine

When MT. Hoover quieted the hun ger fears of Europe with the state meat that none would want for bread, he knew what he was talking about.
 .America's great harvest army" has performed this year a feat which is an epic Of labor. Ill it's smoothly organized. efficient, and almost mill tary movement up the great Mississi- ppi basin, from Oklahoma to the Can adian line, this great army of workers has saved Americas wheat crop. the loss of which might well have meant the loss of the war It's fact worth thinking about-the worlds bread is safe for another year.
 Every year the great drive goes on, but this year, because Of the urgent need and the labor shortage special attention was given the problem and the work was more thoroughly organ ized than ever.
 This is an unique army-recruited in part from migratory workers, from college students on vacations, and from clerks and business men, who can give only two or three weeks to the work, but do that gladly for the Nations good and their own. AS soon as the wheat crop is ready in the Southern States Of the wheat belt a line Of men is thrown across Okla homa-40 in one town, 50 in another perhaps 100 or 200 in other communi ties-and the drive is on
 Every effort is made to keep the great land army together as long as possible When one line has been run, east and west, across the wheat ] belt the harvest is well under way 1 for that district. A week later an other line is run a little farther north i Week by week the land army .narces northward. By the time the Kansas harvest is ready the first line 1 in Oklahoma, for example, has fin ished it's work; the men are promptly moved north to enter the new first line trenches"
 i By late summer the army is work ing in the Dakotas, and the American
 wheat crop has been saved. Moving across the Canadian border about Sep tember 1, the Canadian crop is put out of danger. When the Canadian wheat has been harvested the men move south again for the American corr crop
