something TO Remember.

We ought always TO remember that
II We raise big crop of any kind
il is done with an increased exhaustion
of soil fertility. If We expect that neld
to keep up and do well in the future
We must give IL additional fertilizer.
\ good many farmers seem TO forget
this and look upon a god crop as so
much good luck, the product of the
season. so 10 speak, and not OF the
land Heavy crops must be met with
an increased outlay for fertilizer

GERMAN BARRED
THREE OR MORE PERSONS MAY
NOT TALK In GERMAN In
PUBLIC PLACES.

Huron, July Especial: The
state council of defense at their
meeting yesterday, passed an order
prohibiting the use of the German
language in telephone conversation.
except in emergency cases Public
conversations in the German lam
guage by three or more persons are
also forbidden in public or semi-pub-
lie places, including streets, trains,
depots, hotels and places of business.
There were SO or so applications
from German congregations asking
for permits to Use the German Ian
guage in religious services. No per-
mits were granted by the council. 1t
is believed that the greater number
of these congregations are in a posi-
ton to use the American language.
The matter was turned over to the
executive committee, of which Hon.
George w. Wright, Huron, is chair
man with the understanding that in
a few extreme cases temporary per-
mits might be granted when recom-
mended by local authorities and the
county council of defense, wherein
such congregation is located.
Under order No. A adopted two
months ago, Sunday and confirma-
ton classes are permitted in the Ger
man language until October /. The
council announced that there would
be no extension of this time limit,
Funeral services will be permitted as
heretofore.

Near SHIPWRECK
BOAT LOADED WITH INDIANS
NEAR SINKING.

Chamberlain, July 18.-The gov
eminent boat Ada Belle, loaded with
more than 400 Indians from the
Brule reservation, narrowly escaped
sinking Sunday afternoon while pass
ing through the opening in the pom
toon bridge over the Missouri river
here.
Only the prompt action Of the crew
ing rounding the boat on American
Island prevented a probable loss of
life.
The boat was caught in the swift
eddy at the opening of the pontoon
and scraped against the ends of the
steel span, tearing a large hole from
bow to stern. Water filled the hold
before the boat could clear the
bridge. Many of the passengers be-
came panic stricken, leaped into the
river and swan ashore. No one was
injured. and all passengers were ac-
counted for shortly after the landing
was made at the island. The Ada
Belle had left the reservation up the
river early in the day with an excur-
sion crowd bound for American ISL
and to attend the chautauqua where
William Jennings Bryan spoke that
afternoon.
Both the Ada Belle and the pom
toon bridge are controlled by the
government.

FOE DRIVEN BACK
ON 25-MILE FRONT
FOCH STRIKES FARTHER WEST
TO COUNTER FOES DRIVE
ON RHEIMS LINE.

Paris, July 1S.-The French this
morning delivered an attack along
the line from the Aisne river as far
south as the region of Belleau, a
front of about rs miles, and made
progress at certain points of between
a mile and a half and two miles, the
war office announced today.
The situation on the Marine and
Champagne front is unchanged.
Early in the morning prisoners
taken in the advance began coming
in. The northern point of the front
of attack is the town of Fontenoy,
nearly a mile south of the river
Aisne.
In the fighting on the front of the
German offensive, the French last
night stormed the Germans in the
face of violent attacks which the en-
envy launched southwest of Manteuil-
la-Fosse, between the Marine and
Rheims.
On the front beyond Rheims, east
of the Vesle river, an attack by Ger
man guard units was completely re-
pulsed.
