MUST OBSERVE
y THE CAME LAWS

In making their plans to shoot mi
gratory waterfowl, hunters will do
well to note the dates of open seasons
under both federal and state laws.
This caution by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture results from
evidence of confusion in the minds
of some sportsmen in regard to the
opening Of the season when the dates
conflict under state and federal laws.
The federal law and regulations
limit the seasons before and after
which no one may shoot these birds.
If a state law opens the season later
or closes it earlier than the dates pre-
!scribed by the federal regulations, the
season in that state is just so much
further shortened, Special attention
is called to the fact that the Federal
regulations do not authorize any one
to hunt or kill migratory birds con-
trary to the state law. -.
In certain states, as for example,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Missouri, and South Dakota,
the season for shooting migratory
waterfowl under the state law would
open prior to the date of opening un-
DIR the federal regulations were it.not
for the fact. that thessfederal regula-
tions ssupersede state laws in such
case Of conflict and prescribe for these
states September 16 as the beginning
of the open season. . 4, .....5

EARL IVERS0N
PASSES AWAY

It is with keen regret that the edi-
tor has to chronicle today the death
of Earl >1verson, the young man who
was accidentally shot Monday evening
while out hunting. His death will be
hard blow to his widowed mother,
Mrs. Julia Iverson. It was known
right after the accident that Earl had
been badly injured but there was
hopes that he would recover from the
shock and that perhaps he might have
lost his leg and recovered, but provi
dence has willed it otherwise and he
passed away attthe Riverside hospital
this morning about six o'clock. TIE
family certainly have the heartfelt
sympathy Of their many friends in
this city. N. O. Holberg has charge
Of the remains and the funeral ar
rangements and the time for the same

but it, is thought that~Saturday will
be the day for the funeral. The

GIVES DONATION
-

Wednesday secretary Of the Barnes
County Chapter, A. r. c., received a
check for so, this being the donation
Of Mr.. ]. N. Osborne, Of Dazey. It
represents the proceeds Of an acre Of
wheat, and indicates the most remark
able gift to Mr.. Osborne and q most
remarkable gift from Mr.. Osborne to
the Barnes County Chapter. This is
plan that has been followed quite
largely in certain localities over the
Northwest, and is one to be emulated
in the future. In a drive over the
country one is surprised at the num-
Der of places where the Red Cross
sign may be seen in the wheat fields,
Indicating that such donation has
been made. It would be profitable for
the Red Cross to organize a movement
to secure donations in this way in the
future, both because it is the easiest
way to secure revenues and because it
is the way to get the largest returns.
Mention is made of this donation be-
cause it is the first one that has come
to the Secretary's attention as being
the gift Of the proceeds of an acre Of
wheat. We know there are many 9TH
ers. Who will be the next?

SOLDIERS VOTE. !. NOW.

Thoughtless If not unscrupulous
men have compelled the people Of
North Dakota to act on momentous
state problems, when 25,0 900 or more
Of North Dakota's voters are either in
France or training camps.
Under the absent voters law every
soldier can cast his ballot in the No
vember election.
The boys in Khaki should not have
to consider NOW any matter that will
effect US but very little until AFTER
the war is over. We are working un-
der war orders now.
But this will be the future home, Of
"our: boys"> and when economic dis
turbances affecting the future are
threatened, they have a right to help
TO decide what disturbances there
shall be BEFORE THEY GET BACK.
Fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters,
relatives and friends can render the
State and Nation a patriotic service
by helping the boys in this matter.
Send to the County Auditor Of some
boys home county, his latest mill
tary address, and request that bal
lot be sent to him. Requests of this
kind from several parties for the
same boy will be better than no re-
quest for some boys: Send request
for some one.
Then write the boy a letter telling
him that you have requested ballot
for him and send him all the in
formation you can that will make it
as easy as possible for him to vote

Of the gun and scream from the
victim-Earl had shot himself in the
leg between the thigh and knee. For
tunately the boys were only a couple
OF miles or SO from town and the
wounded boy was hurried to town
for medical aid. DR.. A. w. Macdonald
was called into the case and has the
patient in charge. In talking with
the doctor this morning he said it was
a very bad case, the leg being shat
tered to pieces, but the outcome of
the case is problematic just at this
time but it is more than probable that
the boy will have to lose his leg. Am
putation will not be done, however.
until every possible aid has been Civ
en to pit. It is most unfortunate
case and is one of the hundreds of
cases that happen all over the coun-
try every year during the hunting
season. Earl is about 16 years old
and his friends regret very much this
very heavy affliction that has befallen
him. The Times-Record sincerely
hopes that his leg may be saved and
that ne will speedily recover from his

SERIOUS SHOOTING
ACCIDENT MONDAY

A very serious shooting accident of
an accidental nature was the result of
the first day of hunting in Barnes
county so far as the Times-Record
has heard. Richard Maier, Ed. Bohn-
hoff and Earl Iverson were out hunt
ing and Earl Iverson is the victim.
They had noticed some game as they
crested hill and started down the
hill with the intention of getting clos
er 50 they could get shot at it.
Previously they had been out Of the
automobile to shoot at game which
had gotten away from them and then
seeing more game further on they
climbed back into the car and as we
understand the matter the guns were
still loaded, but each one admonished
the other to see that the gun was left
in what is called Safety" Evidently
lverson did not do that and the first
thing that was heard was the report

Complete returns from every pre-

Although Van Lear showed a heavy
lead when more than half of the votes
were in, his lead began to melt stead

There were 56257 votes cast on

NO SHORTAGE EXISTS
Committee Opposes Fixing Prices
on Raw Cotton.
President Will Be Informed Such 40
tion Is Unnecessary and I'M
practical.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Fixing OF
prices on raw cotton is unnecessary
and impractical, the President will be
.oid by the cotton investigating COM
mittee of the War Industries board.
This announcement was made by DE-.
Thomas w. Page, chairman of the
committee.
The committees conclusion, DR..
Page said, was based on the fact there
is no prospective shortage of cotton
and the belief that the cotton distri-
button committee can secure a pro-
portionate marketing of the lower as
we'll as the higher grades of cotton
more effectively by other methods.
Continuance of the work of this com
nittee is recommended.
DR.. Pages statement was said to
smbody the essential points of the re-
port which the committee will pre-.
sent soon to the President. 1t said
that there would be no way of en-.
forcing a fixed price except through
the readiness of the government to
purchase" the entire cotton crop.
This, the statement continued
would involve the closing of cotton
exchanges, while merchants, bankers
and other Intermediates would be Sc
riously affected and many probably
put entirely out of business. The es.
adjustment at great cost of a govern
ment system of inspection and certi
6cation also would be necessary, ii
was said, If price-fixing were under,

British, French and Americans
Maintain Advance on Long
Front Despite Rains.
FOE REVOLT SPREADING
More Towns In Germany Seized by
ReYoIutionists, Including Bremen,
kiel and Hamburg-kaiser
Must Abdicate.

London, Nov. 9.-British, French and
American troops have maintained the
pressure which has driven the enemy
from many square miles of French
territory in the last week In the
north the British are moving on Maui
beuge and Mons, and are less than
three miles from Maubeuge.
While the Americans command the
situation at Sedan, although they ap-
parently do not hold the entire city,
the French are pressing on toward
Mezieres and have occupied Singly,
less than eight miles to the south
Elsewhere on their front the French
armies continue the rapid advance of
the last three days. At no point are
the French more than 30 miles from
the Belgian frontier, and at most
places the distance over which they
still have to drive the invader is much
less.
Heavy Rains Prevail.
Torrential rains are reported to have
fallen over the fields of France. This
rain has hampered the enemys retreat
seriously, and, while 1t has also slowed
down the Allied advance, the Germans
are apparently in grave danger OF be-
ing utterly crushed
To Demand Abdication.
London, Nov. 9.-The German ma
jority parties have held a final dis
cussion on the question of Emperor
Williams abdication, and will without
doubt unanimously demand that he
abdicate, according to Berlin dis
patch to the Copenhagen Politiken,
forwarded by the Exchange Telegraph
correspondent. The abdication, it is
added, probably will occur at once.
Rebels Cut Railway.
Copenhagen, Nov. 9.-Revolutionists

Ane south of Flensburg in Schleswig
Holstein This breaks communications
in the north with Hamburg. Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of Emper-
or William, left Kiel in an automobile,
flying a red flag, the Schleswig Volks
Zeitung states. He was pursued by
marines who fired a dozen shots al
him, the newspaper adds.
Naval Vessels Seized.
London, Nov. 9.-The movement
which resulted in the seizing of virtu
ally the entire German navy by revol
utionary forces was carried out in a
fairly peaceful manner, according to
the Exchange Telegraph correspondent
at Copenhagen. The red flag was
hc;sted quite generally, he adds.
All the large wharves connected
with the naval service also were TAX
en- over by the revolutionists.

Close and Exciting.
NEWBERRY LEADS FORD
Republican Control ef the House 10
Now Beyond All cuestion-Dem-
ocratic Senatorial Candidate
Leads in Idaho.

Washington, Nov. 9. With the
Michigan and Idaho senatorial con-
tests still in doubt, late returns give
the Republicans total of 4S senators
just half the membership, and lack
ing one vote necessary to insure con-
trol-and 46 to the Democrats.
In Michigan the Republican candi-
date, Truman II. Newberry, was re-
ported to have increased his lead to
about $500 votes over Henry Ford,
with 125 precinct records missing.
Nugent Leads In Idaho.
In Idaho the Democratic candidate,
Senator Nugent, was credited with an
increasing lead of about 600 votes
over former Governor Gooding, Repub-
lican candidate.
Closeness of both Michigan and
Idaho contests, on which Democratic
or Republican control of the Senate
depends, were regarded as giving pros
pect of official counts and possibly con-
tests later in the Senate.
Republican control of the House,
however, is now beyond all question.

Republicans, 23S; Democrats, 1876, in
cluding one Independent; Socialist, 1;

for new American industries growing
out of the war, but which will continue
in peace times, including dye making
and nitrate plants. 49,
Return of the railroads, telegraphs
and telephones to private ownership
as soon after the war as practicable
will mean another battle.
Absolute repeal of all unusual and
extraordinary war measures comforting
new powers upon the executive de.
partment will be insisted on. In.
cluded in this will be the elimination
of food and fuel control
Budget System Probable.
The question of ship subsidies will
come up in discussion of the future
of the great new merchant marine
This question seems likely to become
one of the knottiest the new Congress
will deal with.
