M|n0T MAN RECEIVES
PAPER PRINTED
IN GERMANY
r. II. BOsard Received From Brother
in-Law, Major Gen. Farnsworth,
Copy of Paper Strewn Behind
American Lines With Balloons,

r. II. Bosard received from his
brother-in-law, Major General Chas.
5: Farnsworth, in comand of the 37th
division in France, copy of paper
printed by the Germans in English,
and distributed in the American lines
by means of balloons. Mr.. Bosard
kindly permitted the Independent ed
itor to read the copy before sending it
to his sister. 1t is a four page paper.
the name Of which is "The American
IN Europe" and it is full of German
propaganda, the object of which is to
make Americans dissatisfied with
conditions. All the way thru, bitter
attacks are made on England. A
large cartoon on the front page shows
Lloyd George patting an American
soldier on the back, telling him what
a wonderful thing it is for an Amer
lean to die for England. The Hun
cleverly tries to becloud the issues Of
the war and show the Americans that
they are fighting the battles of some
other country. Articles are printed
to show the brutal treatment Of Ger
man prisoners at the hands of the
English. The paper evidently is cir
culated among German soldiers, for
they are told that the Allies murder
their prisoners. The Americans are
not fooled with this sort of dope.
A portion of Gen. Farnsworth's let
ter to Mr. Bosard follows:
Perhaps some of us Americans may
be left over here TO garrison Germany.
| am not especially anxious to stay
but | would rather stay than to see
Germany left to be garrisoned by
Germans.
am enclosing herewith copy of
some German propaganda which they
have been sending over to us in paper
balloons. l am going to try and re-
turn the propaganda compliment by
having paper printed and getting
the prisoners we have captured to
sign it and tell their comrades about
the real state of affairs over here.
We have had wonderfully cool,
sunny summer, which we have used
to the limit to prepare our men for
the aggressive service which we ex-
pect Of them this fall and next spring.
They are responding to it in fine style
and are ready to go wherever sent
and give a good account of them
selves. Last week party of four of
our men were attacked by party Of
about 60 Germans. Our four men,
two of whom We're killed, drove off
the Germans and gave them a few
new ideas about the fighting ability
of Americans. Our men are getting
the idea that they are considerably
better, man for man, than the Ger
mans are, and that is the spirit we
want to get, so that whenever a man
sees a German he will go for him
without waiting for orders.

PARTIAL PAYMENTS
FOR SEED LIENS
County Commissioners Adopt Reso'
lutions Permitting Farmers to
Pay Only Part of Seed and
Feed Bills if Desired

A special meeting of the county
commissioners was held in this city
Tuesday. The Independent is glad
to report that the board passed re-
solution, permitting liens for seed and
feed furnished to the farmers to be
held over for another year IN cases
where there is need, by reason OF poor
crops in some localities again this
wear. Each commissioner has been
authorized by resolution to accept
partial payments on seed liens in his
district, thus giving farmers an op-
portunity to retain a portion OF this
years crop for seed and feed for an
other year. -,
The commissioners concluded that
this action is wise, for were all COM
PEELED to pay in full, many would
again be compelled to ask the county
to again furnish seed and feed. Under
the conditions permitted by the COM
missioners,. the situation next spring
is going to be a great deal better than
last spring. The resolution follows:
"Moved by Commissioner Powell,
seconded by Commissioner Hennessy,
that the following resolution be adopt
ed:
"WHEREAS, There are in Ward
County many farmers against whom
Ward County holds seed liens, whose
crops for the season Of 1918 were very
poor, and who if they were compelled
to pay the entire amount of such liens
this year would be unable to procure
the necessary seed for next year, and
"WHEREAS,.i it is necessary, in the
best interests of the State to protect
such needy and destitute farmers.
"NOW, THEREFORE,, BE 1T RE
SOLVED, That each County Commits
sioner be authorized to accept par
tial payments on seed liens in his
district, when in his judgment it would
be in the best interests Of the State
of North Dakota to do SO.
"Roll Call on above motion: Com
missioner Vandenoever, yes; Commits
sioner Powell, yes; Commissioner Hen
messy, yes; Commissioner Lokensgard
yes, and Commissioner Robe, yes. The
chairman declared the motion carried.

SPANISH |NFLU-
ENzA REACHES
NORTH DAKOTA
Old Fashioned Grip of 1889 Working
Westward-Most Dangerous to
Young and Old-MinOt Doctors
Say No Cause for Alarm.

The Spanish Influenza appears to
be sweeping the country from coast
to coast and several cases were re-
ported in Minot last Saturday for the
first time. There is no particular oc-
casion for alarm, physicians state, al
tho the disease is resulting in large
number of deaths in the east. All Of
the Minot cases are being given the
very best of care and it is expected
that the disease will either be check
ed or run it's course within short
time.
Spanish influenza is a good deal
like the old fashioned grip. One be-
comes i'll with headache and a sore
throat at f1rst, when bronchitis sets in.
One becomes chilled and fever sets in
and you feel like crawling into bed
and putting all the covers in the house
over you. You feel like someone has
been pounding you all over the body
with club. Doctors say that when
you feel this way, you've got Spanish
influenza, and no mistake. And you
want to stay right in bed until you
are over it, too, otherwise pneumonia
is ant to set in. Statistics show that
when pneumonia does set in, third Of
such cases prove fatal. 1t attacks the
old and young worse than middle aged
people. The disease ran its course in
America back in 1889, taking off many
of our older citizens. It has been
prevalent in the European countries
and was brot to America but few
weeks ago. 1t is now working west
ward. Last Thursday there were
more than 5000 cases in the country's
military camps, resulting in more than
hundred deaths.
Congress has appropriated mil
lion dollars to fight the disease. 1t
is claimed that a serum has been dls-
covered that does much good IN XIII.
ing the germs, but the serum is not
generally distributed yet.

his Heavenly reward, it will, in due
time, be forwarded to his proud tho
sorrowing parents. After just having
delivered a message to his superior
officer, he had saluted and was stand
ing at attention at the very moment
when he received a machine gun bull
let in his pulsing brain. If death
needs must come, could there be q
more opportune time? Can you i'm
agine a passing away when it could
more aptly be said "Oh Death, where
is thy sting? Oh Grave, where is thy
victory?" If glory and death are
two words that can be used together,
his was GLORIOUS DEATH" Further,
the term can be properly used, for our
Lord and Master uses these words
relative to his own passing away:
"'The hour has come that the
Son of Man shall be glorified.
Verify 1 say unto you, except a
corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone, but if it
die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
"He that loveth his life shall
lose it, and he that hateth his
life in this world shall keep it
unto life eternal"
Cannot it be as truthfully said OF
John as it was of Lazarus-"He is
not dead, but sleepeth"
