WeIl-KnoWn Landmark.

One of the best-known landmarks on
the Mississippi river is gone. A tall
sycamore tree that stood on the Ar
kansas shore near Memphis, and which
for more than fifty years served as a
mark for river pilots, has been under
mined by the action of the water and
fallen into the river. Mark Twain

The food administration, after a
conference with the Western Corn
Millers' committee at Washington, has
put out changes in the corn milling
grades, affecting grits, cream meal,
corn flour, pearl meal and common
corn meals, which are expected to
standardize corn milling products fur
Their in order that the housewife may
be assured when purchasing that she
will always get the same grade under
the same designation" The new
grades permit grits, cream meal and
corn flour to have a moisture content
of 1215 to 1871 per cent, fat IL to
219 per cent, total of the two not,
however, to exceed Is per cent
Standard, bolted and plain, or water
ground common corn meal, when
shipped in interstate traffic, must not
contain more than - per cent of mois-
ture. II is to be unrestricted as to
moisture of fat content if for local
distribution. Pearl meal standards
for moisture and fat, respectively, are
now 10 and per cent, whether do
nestle or export.

eastern barreled crop is larger and
western boxed crop smaller than last
year. Locally, with better varieties
now arriving, prices are higher, at
the top, ranging from S1.35@2.
Melons-California cantaloupes are
now practically off the market, but
fair supplies still coming from Yak
ina and local sources are unchanged
at 50. Watermelons are higher at the
top because of some better quality
receipts.
Other Oranges and peaches
are higher. Lemons, black grapes and
Tokays have declined. Fall pears and
crabapples are in. Italian prunes and
sweet water grapes are off the mar
ket. Other fruits in seasonable sup
ply and demand without material
change in prices.
Potatoes-Locals show further re-
duction to S2.25@2.50. Some better
matured stocks from Utah are sell
ing here at SO. In the middle west the
market has advanced rather sharply
and there is even greater firmness on
the Atlantic seaboard.
Tomatoes-The market is off again
20. cents to 10000 cents following the
stiffening and advance noted last
week. Heavy receipts, however, broke
the market again and there has been
an active business doing.
Other Vegetables - Cabbage and
green and dry beets. carrots, turnips
and radishes are lower. Eggplant is
higher. Other vegetables seasonable
and unchanged.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-H Harvest is practically COM
pleted now and the crop being gotten
under cover and largely shipped in
fact, under ideal conditions with no
further damages. 1t appears now the
crop in the aggregate will run lit
tie better than the July and August
estimates. Commercial Review fig
ures the Washington crop at 31,O0O,-
600 bushels, Oregon at 100000
bushels and northern Idaho at 5,000,-
600 bushels, a total of 100000
bushels, as compared with 45,000,00o
in 1917-a poor year For the whole
United States, latest figures indicate
a crop of about 9OO,000,000 bushels
Local quotations are unchanged at
$2.O9, S2O7, $2.05 and $2.02 for the
four grades.
Flour-With the general movement
of new crop and conditions favoring a
larger domestic consumption OF Hour
during the next year, the market is
gradually showing more activity. The
announcement that 40 per cent of the
flour expectation will be from this
coast is also a stimulating feature
and mills are generally resuming with
prospects of being able to operate tc
capacity for several months at least
Local patents are unchanged at $1,000
Under the new rules there is natur
ally a Stacker movement of substi
tutes.
Feed-Hay promises to be short ant
alfalfa is up 81 to 1913. Barley an6
oats have stuffed off several dollars
to $50, and for rolled $63. This does
not indicate any material improve
ment in crops, which are short, es
pecially in this section, but because
of lessened demand and as reaction
from too high an opening. Bran ant
shorts unchanged at $29

The burglar had entered the house
as quietly as possible, but his shoes
were not padded and they made some
noise. He had just reached the door
of the bedroom when he heard some
one moving in the bed, as if about to
get up, and he paused. The sound
of woman's voice fioated to his ears.
IF you don't take off your boots when
you come into this house." it said,
there's going to be trouble, and lot
Of it. Here it's been raining for three
hours, and you dare to tramp over my
carpets with your muddy boots on.
Go downstairs and take them off this
minute" He went downstairs without
a word, but he didn't take off his
boots. Instead he went straight out
into the night again, and the pal, who
was waiting for him, saw a tear glis-
ten in his eye. II can't rob that
house." he said; sit reminds me of

LIBERTY DAY.

Just 426 years ago today, at sunrise,
Christopher Columbus and his crew set
foot in the New World.
In the four centuries that have elapsed
since then, the New World has become
the haven for the oppressed peoples of
the Old World. It has been the star of
hope before the eyes of the poverty strick-
en- and the downtrodden. It has held out
to them the promise of freedom and the
chance for happiness.
President Wilson has fittingly proclaim
ed this anniversary, Liberty Day. 1t is
being observed as a partial holiday
throughout the nation, the purpose being
to promote the sale of Liberty bonds. For
tunately Fargo does not need to emphasize
this aspect of the celebration as her quota
has been fully subscribed, but it will give
every citizen of America a new pride in
his country to consider, today the contri-
button this nation is making to the world s
freedom. 1t is giving the best that it has
not for any selfish purpose, but merely to
making the world a safe place in which
free men and free woman may live their
lives in peace and with a reasonable ex'
pectation of happiness.
i Liberty Day is well named.

first at one administration official and
then another, but he gets only kicks in

He's such friendly little cuss, ready
to snatch at any bone thrown him by the
administration and wag his tail If they
throw stick at him, he picks up the stick
and brings it back. If they speak kindly
to him, he quivers with joy. If they show
any friendliness, he jumps on their lap.
But the aroma of the La Toilette meet

ers, and the speeches of Townley, hang
about the pup yet, and until he sheds that
lie isn't wanted in respectable company.
Secretary Baker heaved brick at the

Our constitution is set Of guarantees Of

and are building homes and otherwise en-
ploying their earnings in the pursuit Of well
fare and happiness, To make any extensive

constitution seriously with the plans and
property Of home owners and all citizens
who are affected 1t is therefore important
that we should be very careful in advocating
!, or bringing about any such changes for fear
we bring about conditions that might injure
ourselves or our neighbors
Realizing that the best of us sometimes
get excited and do things hastily that are
damaging to ourselves provision was WISE
ly made in constitution could not
disturb it without the lapse of suficient
time to take a second thought.
An extensive disturbance Of our con-
stitution Is now proposed in the form of a
number Of amendments II is therefore time
to take that second thought.

THE VICTORY OF CAMBRIA.


When the history of this war is written,
it probably will be disclosed that the Brit
isha have just won one of the most import
ant battles of the war, in the fight for
Cambria, and have accomplished it in the
face of perhaps the most tremendous diff
ficulties faced by any army since 1914.
Day after day and week. otter week.
Haig's men have doggedly hammered away
at the Hindenburg line until they have
broken through twelve miles Of defense
systems which the Germans have been per-
fecting for four years until they. were
thought TO be impregnable.
It was this British advance that in large
part made possible the capture Of St. Quen-
tin by the French. The Americans have
also played an important and heroic part,
but the chief credit is due the Third and
Fourth British armies Of Marshal Haig. It
was not spectacular advance, but it is the
kind Of victory that will win this war. It
has carried the very keystone of the Ger
man arch In France, and it has dealt stun
ming blow to the German army, for divi-
sion after division has been hurled into the
breach by the Germans, only to be swept
to destruction
Cambria will stand out as one of the
great battles in the history of the British
empire.

WHY THE HESITATION?

.T OF course, we didn't expect he would
:. give ear to Fargo consumers and hasten
the hearing on gas and electric light rates.
~ But has THE president of thirty banks -
no influence with Fearless William?
A.. The president of thirty banks asked for
an Investigation of The Forums charge
that $4,000 had been paid to the National
Nonpartisan league by the Consumers

corrupt practice act. But Fearless Will
liam has not acted yet, nor has he given
any sign of beginning the investigation.

.he suddenly immersed himself in silence,
and under the protecting wing of Thomas
Allen Box went to New York.

liam beginning the investigation.

the Socialists promptly interpreted it as
an Endorsement of Townleyism. That was
too much even for Mr. Creel, who has ap-
peared to be flirting with the Socialists
many times in the past Even Mr.. Creel
resented being tied to the Socialist chariot
when the show down came.
But the league Socialist leaders should
not despair. They still have the, whole
hearted Endorsement of Big Bill Haywood,
La Toilette, Lindbergh, Walter Thomas
Mills, Kate OHare, Max Eastman and the
New Republic.

raid. So far as is known there is no record of
more than forty or fifty machines taking part in
any one previous raid. This is the best evidence
possible that the air service has at last caught
up with the other branches i'm a measure at
least and it is just foretaste Of what the Ger
mans may expect. If the American army can
send $50 planes now. there will be nothing to pre-
vent 1000 planes crossing the lines at one time
within very few weeks. With such a feet pay
and important manufacturing centers could be
absolutely destroy ed. The airmen, moreover. are
going to play tremendously important role in the
German retreat. Such raiding expedition as
that reported this week would be sufficient to dis
organize completely, any supply center attacked
and disorganize large bodies OF troops: The air
men may be the one factor that VIII turn the
scale between an orderly retreat from French
soil and a costly disastrous rout
In the Near East
There has been great scarcity of news from
the Balkans and from Turkey this week. but all
that has come has been favorable in the extreme.
The Serbians are within few miles Of Nish, il
they have not already occupied it, and the Aus
TRANS fleeing in great disorder from Albania
The German minister has left Sofia and it APP
pears to be but question of a few days until
the allied armies reach the Danube and begin the
establishment of line along the southern border
of Austria Hungary preparatory to an invasion.
Turkey is out of the warliIl military way even
if she has not yet asked for an armistce The
way is open to Constantincgple when the allies
get ready to take it, but m Meanwhile it is more
important to complete operations in the Balkans,
where winter comes early Constantnople can
wait until later. but it is necessary to occupy Ser
bia, Albania and Bulgaria and get control of the
railroads before the snow blocks the mountain
passes. Whether Turkey sues for an armistice
or not the Allies should meet little resistance
when they turn their attention to the Darda-
nelles once more. The Bulgars may even parti-
cipate in this enterprise.
The week on the whole has been another one
of uninterrupted success for the alhes--le less
spectacular perhaps than the preceding ones in
military way, but not less Important.
