At the present time Barnes county
is one of the best fixed financially of
all the counties of the safe.
The county commissioners have just
ordered the retirement Of the only
bond issue standing against the
county. This was an issue of $1O,-
900 in the year 1900 to take up a prev
ious issue to build the court house.
Now the county is free from debt,
without any liabilities whatever. Its
assets consist of cash on hand to the
amount of $162 $780,. the 1917 tax levy
Of $667 ,807.88, which is being paid in,
the court house block of ground on
which it stands, modern Jail and
sheriff's residence, the county hospi-
tai, and all bridges and road work
paid in full
This is a statement of condition
that probably very few counties of
the state or the Northwest can ap-
proach. It means that with the pres
ent tax levy the good roads program
can be pushed, and the running ex-
penses handled very nicely. Also
that the people coming to Barnes
county to locate can be assured that
they will not be overburdened with
taxation.

Bismarck Boy Helps
Convoy Dakota Troops

Bismarck, Feb. Although one of
those rare condolences, which occur
now and then, a Bismarck Jackie was
among the hundreds of United States
sailors who guarded North Dakota's
national guardsmen on their perilous
journey across the Atlantic. Now
that it is all over, the censor has per-
mitted the Bismarck youngster to
write his parents about it.
The sailor boy is Robert Dohn, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Dohn, who
left the Bismarck high school four
years ago to enlist in the navy.
"Bob' had been doing conveying on
a wholesale scale, and it had lost
much of it's interest for him until he
found himself on shipboard with
scores of old classmates and former
associates, boys of Co. A, and other
Slope units of the Fighting First.
Dohn writes that it was a real re-
union all the way over, and that it
seemed almost as good as being back
in Bismarck again. The young sailor
does not give the name of his ship
nor of the boat on which the national
guardsmen went over. Nor does he
indicate the port which the Flick
ertail fighting men were landed.

Daughters Of Governor

Bismarck Tribune, Feb. 4.-Every
time that Governor Frazier or the

torial furnace in the North Dakota

share in making it hot for a number

"SAVE THAT SHOVELFUL OF
COAL FOR UNCLE SAM"
Governor Frazier's shovel was one
of the first in all the state to be tag
ged on "Tag Your Shovel Day." His
little twin daughters, Unie and Yer
sic, eighth grade students in the Bis
marck junior high school, saw to that,
Bright and early on "Tag Your Shovel
Day" they descended to the furnace
room of the executive mansion and
there firmly and with due formallty
attached to the executive shovel it's
tag, one of $4,000 which now. are daily
doing their bit in North Dakota to
save coal and win the war.

American Troops Are
Hungry for Revenge

With the American Army in France
Feb. .4-The American army is
hungry for revenge today. The bap-
tisn of big shells the Sammies receiv-
ed Saturday night just whetted their
appetites for more. Those who were
wounded in the artillery duel are most
anxious for more fighting. Many of
them after they had been hit during
the height of the encounter refused to
leave their places on the trench firing
step. They waited there in eagerness
hoping the boches would come over
No Mans land. They remained on
the firing step until convinced the
enemy had given up the attack.
When German shells cut the COM
munication wires, a dispatch runner
repeatedly attempted to penetrate the
enemy barrage. With a splendid dis
regard for their own safety the Sam
mics took their lives in hand time and
again in attempts to fight their way
through the rain of shells. One New
York Sammy was knocked from a
ration wagon by a direct hit. His
wagon was demolished, his mules
were hurt and the soldier was sent
spinning. AS soon as the New Yorker
was sure he had no wounds he rounded
up the frantic mules and calmly
shooed them on to headquarters.

Germans Concentrating
for Great Movement

With the French Armies in the
Field, Feb. 4.-The Germans to date
have concentrated between 180 and
100 divisions (2,700,000 to 2,85O,OO0
men) on the western front in pre-
paration for their expected spring of
fensive.
Since the drive last April the max
imum of the German concentration
on the western front consists Of only
1856 divisions until the Russian armis-
tice permitted the increase to the
present strength. One hundred fif-
teen divisions are. already on the lines
while the remaining IS to rs are held
in reserve, presumably for the pur-
pose of rushing into surprise Of
fensive or checking the allies, should
the Germans leave to them the ini-
tiative of the spring offensive. The
Germans still have 60 divisions on the
Russian front, consisting of worn out,
decimated units from which the best
soldiers have been transferred to the
western theater., g. b.

Noted Speaker Coming
to Valley City Feb. Il

Daniel Reed, Cornell graduate of
the law class Of 1899, and we'll known

He knows to what extent famine
threatened Europe. He has, had
lengthy conferences with the Brit
ish food controller and the French
food ministry. Many Of the CONVEX
sations he has had with officials and
with soldiers abroad will prove to- be
unusually interesting to American
audiences.

ing several days in each of the three
armies there-the English, French
and American.
The meeting will be held at the
