ALLIE BOND DIES

Allie Bond, who left here some time
ago for Colorado, in hopes that he
might regain his health, passed away
il. a sanitarium at Colorado Springs
the first of the week, and the re-
mains, accompanied by Mrs. Bond, are
expected to arrive here tomorrow,
and the funeral will be held later, as
no arrangements have been made un-
til the body arrives. Mr.. Bond was
we'll known here, having made this
city his home for many years, and at
one time as engaged in the drug busi-
ness here. He leaves a wife, who is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E..
Sparks of this city, and two small

SEEDy. ! BEGINS
. .0vE.:t.(HES STATE
CONDI7 s S HAVE NEVER BEEN
MORE FAVORABLE THAN THEY
ARE NOW.

Bismarck, N. D. March 25.-The
opening Of the last week in March
finds seeding generally under way in
central North Dakota, a condition ex-
ceptional in the history of this Sec
tion. Thousands of farmers got into
their fields with team and tractor out
fits last week, and much seeding is al
ready done. Reports generally are
that conditions never have been more
favorable at this season of the year.
The recent snow, melting slowly,
soaked into the ground and left it in
workable condition. The warm wealth
er of the last two weeks extracted
from the ground what little frost had
remained and left the soil soft and
mellow, in prime shape for plowing,
narrowing and drilling.
A tractor gang by the middle of
the week will have completed the seed
ing of 5000 acres of the Boynton
ranch, in the northern part of the
county, to wheat, every acre Of it.
Three tractor outfits are operating
there, and one of the engineers who
was in town over Sunday states tina.
he never worked in ground that turn
ed up better.
Signs that spring is actually here
are many. The First robin has been
sighted, and the latter part of last
week hugh flocks of geese, northward
bound, few over the capital city.
I Uncle Sam has three represents
tives now on the ground to help the
farmer with his seed problems. L. D.
Todd and A. R. Rickles, formerly of
Seattle, WASH, arrived Saturday from
Washington, D. c., to establish
branch office of the grain and hay
marketing bureau of the United
States department of agriculture in
the federal building. K. B. Seeds of
Washington, D. c., also is attached to
this office as field man. He will cover
the territory, reporting conditions and
daily bulleting will be issued by the
bureau. Similar offices will be estab-
lished in other states where grain and
feed is procurable and through which
local demands will be supplied.
Messrs Todd and Rickles have re-
Gently come from Ft. Worth, Texas,

THE WAR WILL BE
WON IN THE WEST

Washington, March 26.-The Re-
publican Publicity Association, thru
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement at it's Washington head
quarters.
"The collapse of Romania is more
formal than real. Roumania as vi
tai force in the war has been practi-
cally non-existant for more than a
year. The only portion of her soil re-
naming to her own people has been
hemmed in by hostile territory ever
since the overthrow Of the Russian
Empire, and the number of German
troops required to hold the Roumanian
front has not been great; nor, is it
fair to assume, have they been Of su-
perior ualqity. So that the men now
released for operations elsewhere will
be no factor of great moment in Ger
man military movements.
"This does not mean, however, that
the news from Roumania is inconse-
quental. On the contrary, it's psyche
logical value is very great for Ger
many. Nevertheless, SO long as the
Western front holds, the issue is not
uncertain. To overrun Roumania, Bes-
sarabia, even Greece and all Mace
donia will not win the war. The war
will be won in the West, where Ger
many has been playing a losing game
since September, 1914. To that end
the contributions of the United States
must be prompt and forceful. If we
do our part all is we'll. But we shall
not do our part by discussing acad-
emic terms of peace, nor by hindering
Japan now that she is ready to cake
aggressive action against the common
enemy, nor by fomenting strikes in
shipyards, nor by doing any of the
numberless foolish things that are
now being done under the guise Of
making war;"

With the American Army in France
March 24.-American artillery on the
Toul sector continued today to shell
effectively enemy first line and COM
munication trenches, the town of St.
Baussant, and billets and dumps north
of Boqueteau. Many of the Ameri-
can shells have fallen in the German
trenches and the first two lines at
least in one place have been virtually
abandoned.
One American patrol freely inspect
cd this point in the enemy line without
molestation and remained there sew
eral hours. There have been no con-
tests between the infantry during the
last twenty-four hours.
For the third successive day Ger
man artillery today bombarded heav-
iy, with gas shells, certain town
within the American lines. Today's
bombardmeilt was made in two per-
icds, each half hour in length. Many
gas shells and few high explosive
shells fell on the American positions.
An enemy airplane early this morn
ing cut off its engines at great
height over the American lines north,
west Of Toul and planed down. When
close to the ground it dropped guam
tity of bombs. Some were of new
variety which exploded in midair with
a blush red flash and gave off cloud
Of mustard gas. The mustard gas
quickly descended toward one Of our
battery positions and around.
After the machine disappeared the
German gas shell bombardment be-
gan. Another enemy airplane hover
ed over the town while the lombard
ment was in progress.

ROY MATSON TAKES $500 FROM
HIRED MAN AT PERKINS FARM

Last Friday evening a young man
by the name of Roy Matson, working
at the J. o. Perkins farm south of the
city, took 1926 in cash and draft for
$500 from a fellow workman at the
same place and departed on a bicycle,
arriving here a, short time before the
west bound train was due, and after
going to the Glickson clothing store
and purchasing new outfit Of clothes
took the train west. The theft was
discovered and the local officials were
notified, and they telegraphed de-
scription to the officers at different
points west, but as they did not know
that he had changed clothes, the de-
scription as to his wearing apparel did
not tally and it was har to locate
him, but Sheriff Olsen received word
Saturday from Chinook, Mont, that
the officers had a man, who they .thot
was Matson under arrest, and the To-
cal sheriff left Saturday evening 10.

No statement as to the immediate
cause of the detention of the orchestra
director was made by the federal Of
ficials tonight. DR.. Muck and the
symphony orchestra have been under
criticism since this country entered
the war, at first because of failure to
play "The Star Bangled Banner" at
concerts.
Later, the management announced
that the national anthem would be a
feature of every concert and this plan
was carried out. Criticism of DR..
Muck and other orchestra members as
e pro-German sympathies continued,
however, Notwithstanding statements
from the management asserting that
the doctor was of Swiss birth.
An agent of the district attorneys
office who was asked whether any
special evidence Of prof. German activi-
t! had been found, replied that he was
not at liberty to say, adding that
DR.. Muck had been under surveilanc.
for months.
DIR. Muck was loaned to the Boston
Symphony orchestra by Emperor Viii
liam in 1912 and again in 1916. I'm
der his leadership the orchestra has
achieved worldwide fame, but in sew
eral cities recently, engagements have
been cancelled because of opposition
to his appearance as it's leader.

FIRE DESTROYS
CREEl HOME

I. The residence of H. M. Creel, 1ppo-
site the Washington school building
was totally destroyed by fire, which
was started mysteriously, Friday ev-
ening last. Gen. and Mrs. Creel are
living in the south this winter, and the
house was occupied by T. J. Christian
son and family. The fire started about
$3.50 o'clock Friday night, and at
time when the entire farmily was alb
sent from home. Mr.. Christianson was
working at the Farmers Mill and the
rest of the family were down town.
About the time the fire started there
were several violent explosions, which
almost Jared adjoining houses, and
before anything could be done the
building was in flames. The fire de-
partment responded promptly, but the
fire seemed to be very hard one to
control and before it could be put out
the building and it's contents were
practically ruined. The family being
absent nothing was removed from the
house and the loss is total one to
Christianson. We understand that
the house was insured for $1,000 and
Mr.. Christianson had recently taken
out $1,000 on his household goods.
This was one Of the first houses
built in Devils Lake and at the time
Of its construction was the best house
in the city. Mr.. Creel has been no.
tilted but at this time has not yet ar
rived here. How the fire started is .
mystery, as there had not been any
fire in the house that evening. It is
believed that the explosions were
caused by gasoline.

NEXT SUNDAY

The daylight saving bill, providing
that all watches and clocks in the
United States be set ahead one hour

President Wilson. This law takes eff

This new time will be used until the

This law was passed largely in the

SHOULD NOT EXCEED COST OF
SISAL FIBER BY MORE THAR
4 CENTS "A POUND, RULING.

After investigating the costs of
manufacturing binder twine, the U. S.
food administration has announced
that the price to dealers of standard
and sisal twine, 500 feet to the pound,
should not exceed the present price of
sisal fiber, which is 19 cents per h.,
by more than four cents per h., f. o.
b. factory, when sold in carload lots
-.of 20, 900 pounds or more. An addi-
tienal increase Of 1-8 cents is allowed
for lots of 10000 pounds and Ia cts,
in smaller lots,
Prices for other grades Of twine
should not exceed the4prices Of stand
ard and sisal twine by more than the
following amounts says the food ad-
ministration: E.,
"550-feet to the lb-1 3-4 increase.
'..6OO-feet to :he lb-3 increase.
"650-feet to the lb-4h c increase
"650-feet to the lb-Pure Manila
&c increase.
80 Per Cent Sisal.
About 80 per cent of the entire
output Of the binder twine factories of
the United States is standard Of sisal
twine. The retail price should not be
more than l13a cents, with freight ad-
,ded, above price Paid manufacturer.
I'm arriving at manufacturing costs
the food administration considered the
increased weight of binder twine over
its sisal fiber content. This increase
In weight is due largely to the cord
age oil which is necessary to use in
5 the process Of manufacture. The fact
was also recognized that manufacture
ers have on hand sisal purchased. ay
lower prices or twine manufactured
from lower priced sisal.
Comparison With Last Year.
"While the price Of standard and ST..
sal twine this year is about cents
above the price prevailing at the end
Of last season, it is explained that the
price Of sisal fiber advanced during
the manufacturing year 1862 from
2 3-4 cents to 161z cents. In August,
1917, it advanced again to 19c per
pound, where it has remained to date.
reports are received every two
weeks from the 10 binder twine estab-
lishments in the country, all of which
are CO. operating with the Food Ad-
ministration. These reports show that
there will be an ample supply Of twine
for the 1918 harvest"

JUST AS WAS PREDICTED, HE
DORE NOT MEET ANYONE IN
AN OPEN DEBATE.

Yesterday afternoon there was one
of the largest gatherings of farmers
that has assembled in Devils Lake for
some time, held in the Grand. Opera
house in this city, these farmers hav-
ing come for miles to hear debate
between j. M. Brinton of the. Non
Partisan League and the United Con-
sumers Stores Co., on one side and E.
M. Crary and Charles E. Gordan on
the other side. According to a notice
which was duly served on Mr.. Brinton
by letter to his St. Paul Office over a
week ago, said notice being signed by
27 farmers, he was was notified to be
on hand to debate the questions men
toned above, and later when it was
known that he was at Kenmare on
Monday, and could have been here
Tuesday if he wanted to be, a tele-
gram was sent to him at Kenmare,
saying that his presence was demand
ed here on Tuesday, but all to no
avail, as when the time came for the
meeting, and he was called for he was
not present, nor had he a representa-
tive here to speak for him.
E. M. Crary, who acted as chairman
called the meeting promptly at 2 o.
clock, and stated why the meeting had
been called, and asked if Mr.. Brinton
or any representative Of his was in the
audience, but no one responded.
There were aDout 500 farmers pres
ent, besides many people from the city
including many ladies. Intact it was
one of the largest farmer gatherings
that has been held in this city for.
some time, and from the interest
shown, it was evident that they had
come for the purpose of hearing more
about the League and stores scheme,
from both sides of the question, and
they seemed much disappointed that
Brinton had fooled them, after he had
accepted a challenge to debate before
an audience of farmers.
AS Brinton did not respond, the
chairman stated that himself and Mr..
Charles E. Gordoa were present, and
if the crowd desired they would talk
from their side IF the question, and
this seemed to be very satisfactory.
Mr.. Crary opened the meeting by TAX
up two matters, that of the "kept"
press and the matter of amending the
state constitution, and he talked for
thirty minutes to most attentive
audience. He showed that the only
real "kept" press in North Dakota is
the Townley press, who have well
established press bureau at the Town
ley headquarters in st. Paul and from
these headquarters the "dope" is sent
out to the string of papers that Town
ley has succeeded in getting the far
mers to purchase, and turn 80 per cent
Of the common voting stock over to
