knocked unconscious by a shell and
lay in a barrage of machine guns and

caught in a German heavy artillery
barrage for about one hour; it was
the most awful barrage l have ever
seen. l thought sure my time had
come; shells fell all around us-I
mean the little hole we wer ein-but
not any hit; there were four of us
in the little shell hole; the Germans
could see us from the hill, so they
were firing point blank. Dad, war

Whether Argentine Ambassador
Naon will return to his post here
after his forthcoming visit to Buenos

diplomatic circles today.
Nson leaves the country before the
end OF the week. A conference in
Buenos Aires with government Of

his leaving, and while it is intimated
that he intends to return, il is likely
that this conference will determine

Miss Ada Starkweather, economic

Miss Starkweather has been in the

to launch this fall. At the present
time the national war work council,
some members Of which have just re-
turned from France, Is holding a
meeting in New York city, making
preparations for the big drive. Mrs.
H. Hancock of Fargo is the North
Dakota representative at the meeting.
Much has been told us of the very
wonderful work that the Y. w. G. A.
is doing for our soldiers and sailors
here and abroRd-men returned from
service invariably tell Of the splendid
and very necessary work which the
"Y" carries on, but naturally these
activities must be backed with funds.
The first war-fund campaign held last
fall was not general in North Dakota,
Grand Forks and Fargo being the only
cities tt participate. and the drive this
year will be general, as it will be
throughout the country. The war
work council will fix the time for the
drive and also the allotment for the
various states. 1 9

sAss
Soldiers of the Soil,

ssss . . . .
The work Of growing food is next
in Importance to that Of fighting in
the trenches. y. Z
Not only has civilian production
been vastly stimulated in all of the
Allied countries, but much military
cultivation Of land has been under
taken.
In England every. military camp
and every German prisoners camp is
engaged in military agricultural OPP
erations. Soldiers are ~cultivating 5O,-
900 acres behind the lines in France,
1000 acres in Salonika, about 700,-
900 acres in Mesopotamia and large
areas in Egypt, Palestine and Cyprus.
1t is estimated that Mesopotamia
will total $4,000 tone of wheat and
100000 tons Of barley from this mill
tary cultivation. To accomplish this
there have been tractors, threshers
and hand implements sent from India
and Australia, as we'll as from Great
Britain.
AT Salonika there are now growing
2,10O acres of barley, 500 acres of
wheat, 700 acres of potatoes. 1000
acres of corn and LOO acres Of other
crops.
These soldiers are growing food to
help feed themselves. They know
that the less food they have to get
from the outside world the more ships
will be available to bring men and
ammunition. And the more Of that
outside food they can get from Ameri-
ca, instead Of from remote lands such
as Australia and New Zealand, the
more ships will be saved for the
shorter haul between Europe and gu
own shore.
That is why the civilians Of this
country must do their part in food
production. Every man, woman and
child who shares in the planting OF
hoeing or gathering this summer
whether on a farm or in back yard
work is second in Importance only to
that Of the soldiers in the trenches.
