Liebeler has sod number of auto

Mr.. Williams came from Chicago to
photograph for the screen. These pic.
lures when developed will be sent to
all parts of this country and into Eu
rope to show people who are not
familiar with North Dakota, what
this state is doing to solve the food
problems that confront the world.
Very nice pictures we're obtained on
the farm of J. F. Ramage who is u.s.
ing five of the news shockers. Mr..
Liebeler reports that the work done
by the shockers on MIR. Ramage' S

that they will do much to disapate

FIFTEEN PER CENT CIRCu.
LAT|ON CUT SEPTEMBER IS

According to an order that has
been issued by the War Board of In
dustries at Washington, D. c., the
weekly papers of the United States
will have to cut down their present
circulation Is per cent by September
18th.
The publishers are notified that this
is rendered imperative in order that
print paper may be kept on the mar.
ket at all during the continuation of
the war period.
The Courier-Democrat in order to
bring its circulation within this mark
of reduction has found that the re-
quest of the government can be best
met by pairing down its list of de-
llnquents who have allowed their
subscriptions to become one or more
years in arrears. There will also be
made thorough cleanup of all COM
plimentary and free copies to adver.
tising patrons and others who have
in the past been shown this courtesy.
The step that has been taken at
the request of the War Industries
Board is one that the publisher of the
paper has had in view for some little
time, owing to the existing war
prices Of everything that go into the
expense of printing and publishing a
paper such as this.
The change will go into effect posi-
lively as stated on September 18th
and this notice gives all readers.
whose papers are now in arrears as
stated ample time to fix-up their de.
linquency and secure a continuance
of the pape: as heretofore.
If your paper is in arrears /;
prompt renewal at this time viii
avoid the inconvenience Of it's being
discontinued after September 18th.
This is war time regulation call
ing for faithful performance on tn
part of the publisher by a govern
ment, whom we are all az. estly do
ing our best to support and we expec
our subscribers to meet the emer
gency in so far as their part lies.

nish the department each month a
affidavit that the cut in circulation o
fifteen per cent is being properl
complied with.

of his advancement in rank from COR

offered the opportunity to take up
special work of an electrical nature,

Is Again
On Casualty List
Message Comes That John Rob-
ertson Is Seriously Wound
ed in Action July 19

: On Monday afternoon the official
notice came from the war office at
Washington, D. c., to the Robertson
family home in this city of the Sc
rious wounding while in action of
Private John Robertson. The only
added information to this meagre
message being that it occurred on
Friday, July 10Th.
Letters had reached the family
from John dated up to within four or
five days of the date on which he was
wounded, and it would seem that he
had just returned again to the front
after his leave of absence, during
which he marched in the parade of
American troops in Paris on the
French Day of lndependencezxthe
Fourteenth Day of July. 1t was'by no
means his first experience on the
front as the letter told that before
his leave of absence he had been
forty-three days without bath or a
change of clothing-which means
something significant of life in the
trenches.
1t strikes US as significant that this
happened on the day on which Cava-
lier county YVES dedicating its service
flag at the fair grounds. Though it
was known from the bulletins given
out at that time about what America
was doing on the fighting front in
France that day, it was little thought
that one of our home town boys was
among those left wounded on the bat.
tie field News from the hospital is
expe tied in few days that will, it is
hoped, tend to allay the anxiety
caused among the family and friends
by the news that reached here Mon
day afternoon.
i 1t is less than two weeks ago since
Mrs. Robertson received word in a
letter from another son, Alex, who
is in France with the marines, stat
ing that he was in hospital suffer-
ing from shrapnei wounds in the head
but fortunately not serious. When
the news came Monday, Mrs. Robert
son was away visiting at the home of
a daughter in Reynolds.
