IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By Col. Jack McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard among the groans below
For we are dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow;
Loved and were loved and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our fight against the foe
To you, from failing hands we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it hogh;
If We break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though peoples blow
In Flanders fields.
AN ANSWER
By An American
In Flanders fields the cannons boom,
And ftful flashes light the gloom;
While, up above, like angels fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky
Is redder than the poppy bloom
In Flanders fields
Sleep on We brave The shrieking shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell
The fury of the battle HELL
Shall wake you not, for all is we'll
In Flanders fields.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart and oath swear
To keep the faith, to flint it through
To crush the foe, or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

Sugar Station Established-Red Cross
Benefits


The Retail Merchants Association
Of Minot has established Sugar
Store in the vacant garage opposite
the Federal building at the corner of
First Avenue and First street S. W.
where sugar is sold exclusively by q
committee representing the Minot Red
Cross Chapter to which society the
net profits will accrue. No sugar
is sold at any other place in the city.
A special committee from the mer-
chants association has been at the
store every day this week instructing
the ladies as to the proper methods of
filling out the required vouchers and
assisting the Red Cross ladies in get
ting everything properly adjusted for
the successful conduct Of the bust
ness. Mrs. Fred V. Dale, Mrs. H.
M. Wilson and Mrs. Mitchell were in
charge Wednesday, when a represent
alive Of the Independent called at the
establishment and found that things
were being conducted in a business
like manner and the place was as
spick and span as the most critical
could ask for. A representative of
the Association informs the Indepen-
dent that the purpose of having one
sugar station for the city was to re-
lieve the merchants from the grief
attendant upon the filing out of the
various vouchers required and anoth-
object was that in this manner the
Mnot Chapter would be afforded a
steady source of income which will be

LATE WAR NEWS

Little news of much Importance has
been received from the war zone dur
ing the past week. The American
sector appears rather quiet and one
surmised that Pershing's men have
something up their sleeves which is
apt to develop within a day or two.
The American line remains within ten
or fifteen miles of Metz, the we'll forti-
fled German city.
The British have made some gains
towards St. Quentin and that city is
apt to be in Haig's hands within a
week. His army is within three or
four miles of that city which is par
TALLY surrounded.
The Allied forces have made great
gains against the Germans and Bull
garians in Macedonia, probably cut
ting thousands Of the enemy off from
retreat. The German-Bulgarian forces
seem to have been split apart in a dis
astrOuS manner.
The British have made great gains
in Palestine, capturing 100000 Turks

LITTLE PLEASURE IN TRAVEL
German Trains Creep Along in Dark ness for Fear of Bombs of
 Allied AViators.

Special precautions against air raids are now being taken on the Ger. man railways in those districts espe. ctally liable to aerial bombardments by the allies, Railway Age states. The Palatlnate railways, in particular, are adopting precautionary measures, and writer in the Lokal Anzeiger who recently travelled on this system de- Scribes the darkening methods adopt ed at night.
 ''For hOqrs," he writes, :'the train travelled as though in 9 dark cave, without lights, without conductors, without any station names being called out when the train stopped. When every lamp is extinguished throughout the countryside, and the towns and vil- lages, as though constrained by agony, have closed their shops, the journey op- presses ones mind and is nowise reas- surfing.

NoW CALLED NICkEL-sILvER
WelE-Known Metal Has Been Relieved From the obIiquity of Bearing
 a German Name.

One of the largest merchandising concerns in this country has recently changed the name of the alloy here tOfore known as German silver, and is now marketing this commodity as nickel-silver, and publication devoted to the metal industry suggests that the word silver be eliminated entirely, as there is no silver in the combina- tion. This publication says: eff the nickel is taken from an IS per cent German silver alloy only a two and one brass will remain. Why not then call the compound 'nickel-brass,' or, if commercial objections are too strong to be overcome at once, why not call it nickel alloy? The various contents of nickel may be designated by utilizing the different percentages that the al- Toy contains. Thus, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, Is per cent, etc, nickel-alloy. It is a fact that some manufacturers are al- ready designating the material now being sold as Sheffield plate, as 'sil- ver-plate on nickel base.' We see no reason why the same argument does not apply to the alloy being called nickel-silver."

MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD
Real Treasure of Peru Was the Po- kato, Though spaniards Did
 Not Realize 1t.

The gold of the Indies was the att traction that led Columbus to sail westward, that carried Cortez to Mex leo and Pizarro to Peru. The Incas had large stores of the precious metal, representing, no doubt, the accumula- tiOns of many centuries. The capture of such a booty resounded through Europe. Spain became for a time the wealthiest, as we'll as the most pow erfuI, nation of Europe, and this was aseribed to the gold of Peru.
 But Peru held another treasure much more valuable for the nations of Europe than the golden booty of Pizarro. Carrying the potato to Flu rope was an event of much more pro found significance in relation to the subsequent history of the world than sending the Inca gold to the cOffers of Spain. But nOhody understood the value Of the potato. and its Peruvian origin was generally forgotten before the pIant became we'll known. In- stead of Peruvian potatoes we call them Irish potatoes.
 The potato was the basis of the ancient Peruvian nation and has att tained almost the same importance in other parts of the world within the last 100 years.-National Geographic Magazine.

A new fish has appeared in the San Francisco market, which, in the Opin- ion of David Starr Jordan of Stanford university, may prove of considerable economic importance. The fish is called priest fish.
 Doctor Jordan says: Tt will proba- bly be found in abundance on rocky shadows in the north Pacific; if so, it will prove one of our best food fishes, ranking with the halibut.
 "The flavor is rich and delicate, a little fat. hut the oil without the strong flavor seen in mackerel and sardines.
 "It is, in fact, very much like that of anopIopoma. which Is now being largely pushed under the name of 'sablefish,' and is, by the way both fresh and smoked, a real addition to our food supplies. The fishermen call the priest fish 'deep-water cod '"-The Fishing Gazette

GOLD MINING HIT BY WAR
Many Properties That Were Profitable Have Been Pierced to Close Down
 Temporarily.

Gold is one of the war victims. The was has forced down, in market value, measured by human labor, many kinds of property and most of the staple commodities, until some gold mines which yielded fair profit before the war have become temporarily useless t9 their owners. It costs so much to operate them that they cannot be worked without loss. >-
 There has been change in the value of gold itself, in the money of great na- tiOns which have maintained their monetary systems on the specie basis, while almost everything else has gone up. The result is that any given num- Der of ounces of gold mined will buy much less material used in mining, such as explosives, drills, pumps and other machinery, and will pay for few CT days work. This change is still going on and the position of the gold mining companies grows less and less secure and sound.

It sometimes happens that beauty and brains do not bless the same girl, so when Fred Barton brought his new girl home 10 dinner one night his mother and sister were much disturb ed. for Molly Stanbury was perfectly, insipidly lovely.
 Fred had had other girls in his youthful career, some of whom were gOOd-looking and some of whom were not. All in their turn had been passed upon by Mother Barton and Sister Jane-and found wanting. However, it Is doubtful whether this had any thing to do with the failure of those rOmances to develop into matrimOny, for Fred had perfect confidence in his own talents as a picker of winners. This is one of the fallacies of youth Besides passing on those sweet young things. for whom Fred seemed dis- posed of his own accord to fall, Mother and Jane further added to their bit as Fred'S romance arbiters by trotting out at various times several of Jane's the deareSt-girl-In-th friends, who were exposed to the indifferent Fred without result. for that ungrateful young brute loved them not. And now he had picked a brainless beauty, who would just ruin his life"
 She's rotten card player" twip- kled Barton Senior that night. when Fred dropped into his fathers study for smoke after having taken her home. hut she Is sure a little beauty. son"
 While at that identical moment Mother Barton sat on the edge of Sis ter lanes bed and literally groaned for her beloved sons future happi- ness.
