Congressman Norton introduced a
bill in Congress to guarantee to farm
ers $500 a bushel for wheat instead
of $500, the price to be binding until
May 1, 1919. 1t is understood that
the President favors such bill, but
is afraid that if the law is enacted, it
will have tendency to hold up the re-
mainder of the 1917 crop Of wheat
which is badly needed at this time.
The price should be increased at once,
otherwise there is certain to be a
great reduction in the wheat acreage.
Three dollar wheat will enable the
farmers to produce their 1918 crop at
only a fair profit.

"ITS ALL RIGHT CHILD; HE'S AN
AMERICANA"

Suddenly somebody emerged from
side street and bumped into me, and
I made out two dim shawled figures.
One was woman, the other a young
girl. They screamed and ran.
"'Don't be frightened shouted.
INSTANTLY they stopped. One of
them gave nervous laugh of relief.
"It's all right, child she said in
French. He's an American
No finer compliment has been paid
to the American soldiers in France
than the foregoing little incident re-
lated by George Patullo, writer in
The Saturday Evening Host
Volumes might be written about
their bravery, or their devotion to
country, or their efficiency as soldiers,
or their unconquerable spirit, but
what would it all count if the women
and children of Europe couldn't say:
"It's all right; he's an American"

Germany has begun her new peace
drive. Count Won Hertling, who is
weighing every word uttered by those
in charge of the Allied affairs, thinks
he sees an opportunity to make an
early peace, thru which Germany will
emerge stronger than ever. Lloyd
George, in recent speech, limited that
Russia would have to look out for her
own skin. Germany sees an opportun-
ity to carve great slice off from Rus
STA and in view of the double cross
that country has given the Allies, Ger
many relies on her hopes that they
will not care a great deal. Germany,
it is believed, would willingly restore
Belgium and that portion of France
which she has entered, and restore the
invaded country to Italy, for the priv
ilege of taking her pay out of Russia.
There is no mistaking that Germany
wants peace. She has not altered her
imperialistic aims and her military
party is still in power.

The American soldiers are making 8

The American soldiers are making a
splendid showing in the trenches,
which is no surprise to the folks at
home. This may have given Heinie a
jolt, who was told that Americans
were effeminate and towards, of little
account except to exact large Yankee
profits. The American soldiers have
been criticized for chasing the fleeing
Germans little too far in their eager
ness to capture them. Our American
soldiers are in the pink of condition
and as fit for the fray as any prize
fighter could be, in fact, our boys may
be likened to a vast army of prize
fighters, ready to take their chances
with the Huns with guns, grenades or
fists. The press dispatches give a
graphic account of the first German
prisoner taken, who became confused
by his own entanglements, to be fol-
lowed by a Yankee fist on his Teuton-
ic jaw. Five minutes later he awoke
from a SOUND sleep behind the Amer
lean trenches crying "Kamerud."

President Wilson has fixed the price
for 1918 wheat at from $500 in the
west to 1928 in the main market for
No. Northern. At Chicago the price
will be 1920 per bushel. The Presi-
dent explained that the guaranteed
price assures the farmer of a reason
able profit even if the war should end
within the year, and says that large
stores Of grain in those sections Of
the world that are now cut off from
transportation, should again come in
to competition with his products. To
increase the price of wheat above the
present figure, the President explains,
would have the effect of very seriously
hampering the large operations of the
nation and of the Allies, by causing
the wheat of last years crop to be
withheld from the market. It would,

A farmer called the attention of the
Independent to the fact that it is 60
ing to cost the farmers six dollars a
day for feed for a five horse outfit
during the spring sowing season. Oats
are worth a dollar a bushel and five
horses will consume three bushels Of
oats a day when working. Hay at
twenty dollars ton, will cost another
three dollars day for the horses. The
farmer did not take into consideration
the fact that these horses have to Il
fed and cared for the year round. The
writer took a pencil and paper and did
a little figuring for himself and found
that when wear and tear, depreciation,
interest on the investment are con-
sidered, together with the compare
lively few days in the year that the
horses can lie worked, it costs farm
err between sixteen and seventeen dol
lars day.to operate five horse out
fit, to say nothing of counting wages
for himself. Can you blame farm
er for asking for three dollar wheat?

has great deal of money to raise and
it can not be raised by bankers alone,
says Secretary McAdoo. The banks
of this country can not alone sustain
Americas needs in this war and ex-
tend to our allies the essential aid
which they must have to continue the
war.
The rich of this country can not do
it alone; the men of this country can
not do it alone; the women of this
country cannot do it alone; but all of
us, the people of the United States,
disregarding partisanship, forgetting
selfish interests, thinking only of the
supremacy of right and determined to
vindicate the majesty of American
ideals and secure the safety of Amer
lea and civilization, can do the great
and splendid work which God has
called upon US to do.

The Germans will never break thru
the western front. The man power of
the Germans and that of the Allies
on this front is about the same. The
French and British army, which was
far inferior in numbers, was able to
stop the Huns at the Marine early in
the war and they certainly can do it
now. Germany has made all of her
gains so far by trickery, by creating
dissention among the Russians; by
tricking the poor Roumanians with the
help of the crooked Russians; by tenn
porarily breaking down the morale of
the Italian army, which by the way
seems to have recovered.

Germany is growing more weary of
the war daily-that is the common
German people are. The poorer Ger
mans in the large cities are in a
starving condition, tho the people in
the country have plenty to eat and
the army is fairly we'll supplied with
food and clothing. The common peo-
pie are eating a bread consisting of
40 per cent flour and 60 per cent
ground bark and straw, with some
powdered wool to give it a flavor. One
manufacturing company has been
making soup cubes consisting of 81
per cent salt and the remainder COL
oring matter, containing absolutely
no nourishment.

While no one can tell for certain
what the future has in store for US, it
is safe bet to figure on northwest
ern North Dakota producing good
crop the present season. We can only
judge the future by the past. The
writer has seen seventeen crops grown
in North Dakota and the one of 1917
was the nearest to total blank we
have ever seen. We have seen bum
per yield about once in three years
with average crops between. Farm
ers will make every effort to put in a
large acreage and they ought to be
given the utmost encouragement.

It appears to be quite an easy mat
ter to transport million American
troops across to France, until one does
a little figuring. Providing 1000 men
could be carried on one ship, this will
require 500 ship loads, to say nothing
of the vast equipment and supplies
that must steadily be carried across.
If 1000 men had been sent across
daily since the declaration Of war, we
would still be far short Of having a
million men in the trenches at this
date.

CHANCES OF MEN BETTER IN
SERVICE THAN AT HOME,

The following interesting points are
brought out in the January number of
the Western Review:
The soldier has 20 chances of COM
ing home to one chance of being killed.
He has SO chances of recovering
from wound to two chances of dying.
He has only one chance in 500 Of
losing a limb.
He will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training.
He is freer from disease in the army
than in civil life.
He has better medical care at the
front than at home. In other wars
from 10 to Is men died from disease
to one from bullets.
In this war one dies from disease to
every 10 from bullets.

the water carries it away down the
stream. The fact that there is city
