Y. M. c. A. WORKERS NEEDED

Although the demand for men to
serve overseas under the Red Tri-
angle has in no measure been met
and while many more, especially
those endowed with the gift Of lead
ership are needed. DR.. w. w. Alex
ander. director Of the southeastern
department war personnel board, re-
ports that SO men from the seven
states with that department have en-
listed in the army and navy Y. M.
G. A. from July % to 27, inclusive.
Of this number 81 have been ap-
proved for service overseas, and 9TH
ers recommended for home training
camp war work. Those who go across
will be trained at Columbia Univer-
sity, New York City, and the others
take in the three-week intensiye
training school at Blue Ridge, N. G.
They are from all walks Of life, rang
ing from university heads to auto

POTATO STORAGE HOUSES

Community sweet potato storage
houses offer one Of the finest oppor-
tunities for farm business co-opera-
ton we know Of at this time. We
say Eat this timen because in order
that farmers may plant a sufficient
sweet potato acreage, plans for put
ting up the storage houses should
be made right now-or at least the
definite decision made that such
houses will be erected by fall. It's a
shame that our folks in the south,
having monopoly of this wonderful
crop, have not made half the profits
out of it that good management would
have brought us. 1t seems to be only
another illustration Of DR.. Knapp's
saying that southerners have "a
weakness for letting money slip
through their fingers" It is impos
sible to say how many millions Of
dollars have been lost by the freezing
Of potatoes in the old-fashioned hills
or banks or how many more millions
our farmers might have produced and
sold if better methods of keeping
the crop had been practiced.
When the writer was in Georgia |
D few weeks ago, Prof. M. G. Gay,
Of that state marketing work, ex-
pressed the opinion that even during
,he recent unprecedented winter, not
per cent of the potatoes in storage
houses were injured, and practically
all this 5 per cent loss was due to

i bushel one farmer said, "and /
whether it pays or not you can judge
Nv the fact that even the portion of
potatoes in banks that did last
through the freeze are bringing only
81 bushel, whereas those from
storage houses are bringing $3.50.
They don't sprout and get so dry and
Dithy in storage houses as they do

DELEGATES FOR FIGHTERS

Every southern mother fondles
close the remembrance of how her
boy made her life miserable hunting
down her hiding place for the fam
lily cookie Jar.
Looking in retrospect, the boys
across seas coddle the dream of the
cookie jar in the same light, for they
are nothing but boys grown-up, and
the national war work council Of the
Y. M. G. A., realizing this. too, has
placed an order for more than a bill
lion cookies for distribution to the
American troops in France.
This gives an insight into the mag
nitude Of the service rendered by the
Red Triangle organization. A small
of the little comforts our
fighters crave and the amount they
can consume is reflected in the Y.
NJ. G. AS. orders for 100000 900 cook
les, representing $50 carloads, SO, $780,
900 sticks of gum, 112,5O0,OO0 bars

and 100000 jars of JAM and mar
malade. These goods have been con-
tracted for, and viii be exhausted

THE OTHER DEVIL

A vacant stool beside me at the case,
A dreary, lonely silence through
the room;
No dirty fingers swipe across my face,
No willing hand to WELD the office
broom.
No one to scold me for the noise
| make,
No one around to lay my meanness
on;
No one on press-day to paste up my
neck
The other devil has resigned and
gone.
She was my pal. All through the long
hot days
We labored, joked. fought, roasted,
side by side.
But now I miss her bright and sunny
face,
And thoughtfully pick up the type
she pied.
You ask me where she went? Why
did she 60
And leave this lonely office all
to me?
Alas! I cannot say. | only know
She's hoeing cotton cotton down
in Tennessee.

Montana Ia kes Steps
To Decrease Fires

Helena, Mont. Sept State Fire
Marshal A. E. Eklund, in cooperation
with fire insurance companies doing
business in the state, is today launch
ing general campaign to make
survey of all the -four mills, grain
elevators, cold storage plants and re-
tail stores, with view Of reducing
the fire hazard.
The state has been cut into districts
and special experts will gather the
data.
Literature to enlighten the people
on the peril Of fire and how to prevent
itswill be distributed.
It is said Montana's fire hazards
have not been large in the past, but
number Of incendiary blazes have
caused damage.
Governor Sam V. Stewart recently
warned all owners and custodians of
grain elevators to beware Of firebugs
and it is said the executive at the
time had secret information that led
him to take this step.

Republicans And
Democrats Meet At
Bismarck Tomorrow

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 3.-Menibers
Of the Republican and Democratic
central committees are already on the
ground for the organization meetings
here tomorrow. Many arrived this
morning and it Is expected that prac-
tically all Of the members will be here
by tonight. It is said that almost the
full membership Of the two commit
tees will be on the ground.
1t Is rumored that a fight can be
expected between the hide-bound
Townley members of the committee
and the more conservative members
Of his clan and the out and out anti
Townley men. Attorney Lempke Of
Fargo is the bone Of contention.
Lempke is the present chairman Of the
Republican central committee, but
considerable opposition has developed
In his own camp against his re-elec-
ton. It is alleged that he is Town
ley's choice and that Townley intends
to insist on his retention. Members of
the league, who are not SO satisfied
with Townley as they were formerly,
are said to oppose Lempke for this
reason. They feel that the chairman
should be elected by them without
any orders from headquarters. The
anti-Townley men are said to be will
ling to line up, for any man that has
not the approval Of Townley.
It Is also inttmated that not all is
harmony in the Democratic camp and
that a small sized scrap can be ex-
pected there.

Hole basin country, died yesterday.
Ricketts,, according to the sheriff,

sheriff near Lewistown, several years
ago and is believed to have served
time in the penitentiary. I. M.
Nahia, who was with Ricketts, at the

chester's life. was caught by a posse
while he was endavoring to make his
way afoot over the Ames divide into
Idaho. Nahia had purchased a gun
in Dillon before he and Ricketts, left
for the Winchester ranch. Winches-
ter started shooting when a flash
light trained upon him by Ricketts,
and Nahia awakened him. He also
was wounded. Apparently Winches-
ter and Ricketts, had had trouble Of
some kind, and the officers are Of the
belief that Ricketts, came ito get'

Stutsman County Hil!llt
Produce Bountifal Crops

Jamestown. N. D., Sept s.-The
topography of Stutsman county
changes abruptly half way across the
county as one Journeys westward.
From that point onward hills are the
one unvarying characteristic. The
advent of the threshing season is
finding the hilly country possessed Of
bountiful crop. There are evidences
Of large yield of. excellent wheat,
and the flax Is so we'll advanced that
it will be beyond the reach of frost
within less than week. Much Of it
is already ripe and some has been
cut.
Threshing may be quite late on ac-
count of lack of help, but in spite
perity will smile upon the inmates Of
the cabins as we'll as upon those
dwelling in more pretentious houses
located in the hills.

MONTANA SUFFERS
LABOR SHORTAGE

Helena, Mont, Sejt 3.-Drastic
measures are being taken to secure
Montana. Wilbaux county council Of
defense has called upon business
houses to send all their employees,
with the exception of one man in
each establishment, into the fields.
Everywhere else in, the state strenu-
Gus efforts have been made to get
idle townsmen to help the harvesters.
A dozen Helena society girle offer
ed themselves as haymakers and
were eagerly accepted. This section
reports the need of forty more men,
and there is great scarcity OF labor
in many parts Of the state.
It is feared the new work or fight
order, extending the age to As, will
come too, late to do much good in
Montana harvesting, as it can scarce
lv become operative in time to save
the crops. The state council Of de-
tense. it is understood, will shortly
take drastic efforts to prevent the
crops spelling.

sition Of heroic Belgium and Serbia
and all the Allied peoples have deep
| sympathy for Rumania and Monte
been given to the bitter lot Of the
people of Luxemburg.
For four years now the citizens
Of Luxembourg have lived isolated
under the yoke Of German military
domination. 1t is said there are 81
900 Luxembourg volunteers in
Frances foreign legion and that they
are gallant fighters on the side Of
justice and humanity. 1t is true that
Luxembourg has not faced the cruel
devastation wrought by defensive
fighting against the German legions
on their own soil, but war has come
essary for the Entente Allies to bomb
German billets in Belgium and
French towns 50 they have frequent
ly had occasion to bomb Luxemburg
and with deadly effect. ",
Naturally the German propagan-
dists in Luxemburg, as in Belgium.
have tried to arouse hostility against
the Entente by exploiting the air
raids. But again as in Belgium their
efforts have proved singularly un-
successful. The Luxemburgers per-
sist, in spite Of all propaganda, in
regarding the German invader as the
that Luxembourg is raided because
the German is there. Protests by the
Luxembourg parliament and govern
ment against Germany's action in
placing anti-aircraft guns around
Luxembourg have been unavailinR.
