dious, quiet and stay-at-home Olsen
spent a few minutes at the Toofer's
Roost, where weighty matters are dis
cussed.
Our postmistress was looking up the
list of soldiers returned Monday eve
ming. Well, she says there are others
who have a far-away look in their
eyes.
Many Surreyites and from this vi
entity were happily surprised because
they went to Minot Monday on bust
ness as the phone service is on the
blink.
S. Delos Brey has been holding down
second trick operator at the G. N. sta

COUNTY LINE, Hills

The little snow the past week has
put a stop to field work for the pre-
sent, at least.
The James johnson sale was large
ly attended and most things sold for
a fair price.
Those who were on the sick list
the past week we are glad to report
as being much better at this writing.
Some say the sky's the limit, well
our farmers went the limit last Tues
day, and according to some talents,
we expect all but few people will
leave the state soon.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. O. Jacobson spent
Sunday afternoon at the Heblg home.
D. D. Halves moved from what is
known as the old Vesey place to the
farm known as the A. l.. Peterson
farm.
Our people were shocked last week
when the news came over the tele-
phone that the Peoples Store at Blais-
dell, owned and operated by August
P. Nelson was on fire. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nelson lived above the store and we
understand they saved some Of their
furniture only. The fire is supposed
to have started from an overheated
furnace.
Our mail route went without mail
one day last week, owing to the fact
that there was no one we'll enough IN
the village to go out that day.
Well, now that the election is over,
we hope we may be able to get some
real news, as for the past few weeks
we have gotten but little outside OF
political bunk, from some Of our pap

announcement on one page opposing
the League platform, and on another
page another announcement uphold

i'll IL days. The news of his death

BLAISDELL STORE BURNS

Blaisdell, N. D., Nov. 1.-THE Peo-
pies Store owned by A. P. Nelson
was totally consumed by fire last
Wednesday. The fire was confined in
the in the basement for two hours,
which gave the fire fighters time to
remove some Of the stock and furni-
ture on the second floor. The loss
is $4,000 fully covered by insurance.
There are few new cases of in
fluenza. 1t seems to be on the wane.
Conditions throughout the country,
however, are much improved. The
first cases are convalescing.
Mrs. Jennie Bronson of Minot made
business trip here last Friday. The
fire slightly damaged her hotel prop
erty.

SHARE OUR SUGAR
With THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of Sweeteninq
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
tion enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
lis now war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
tion has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one Of the scarce
articles on every menu whether in
the households of both rich and poor,
or in the hotels. o
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is a pound and a
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you
In England it is allowable to use
:one-seventh Of an ounce Of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
icharine tablets about with them for
Use in hotels and in England rich and
4poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625,OOO acres devoted to sugar produc-
'tion. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres
To-day the French man or woman with a
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
ibuy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find it.
4 Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
:: fracture, distribution and sale are close
lily controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
j Saccharine is permitted to be sold
! Iand used as substitute for sugar and
1.-THE government manufactures mix
|ture Of saccharine and sugar called
Wstate Sugar" which is largely used.
r German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
ia great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out Of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
iAllied nations, according to informa-
stion received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
england, 10 cents a pound; France
M cents Italy, 26 ceEts.
Y While these high prices are being
ipaid abroad the Americah who lesale
price is being held at IA tents.

EPIDEMIC CLAIMS ANOTHER NENANA
 BOY IN TRAINING

Frank E. Wye, who is employed as cook at the Alaskan Engineering commissions tracklaying camp near the end of steel on the D line re- ceived telegram this morning from the officer commanding at Camp Dodge, Iowa, stating his brother John A. Nye died yesterday from the eff fleets of an attack of influenza and asking for instructions regarding the disposal of the body.
 The Commission telephone line was not working very satisfactory this morning and as the message con taining the sad intelligence could not have been phoned out to the track laying camp it was consequently sent out on the speeder and it is ex- pected that Frank Nye will take steps to send instructions regarding the disposition of his brothers body to the commanding officer.
 John E. Nye was 29 years old at the time of his death. He entered the service of the 4. E. C. on April l 1917 as baker and left the service on September 18th of the same year. He was well known in and around Ne mana and counts a host of friends who regret his early demise.

President Puts An End to Armistiee and Peace Talk Until Huns
 Are Ready to Surrender.

WASHINGTON, D. c. --,Presideat Wilson's reply to the German accept ance of his terms is on rhe cables and is expected to reach Berlin m a few hours.
 The reply has ended all talk of an armistice until the Germans are ready to surrender, and has closed the dood to peace negotiations to Kaiserism.
 The aims and purposes of the Allies are now more than ever clearly stated, and it is thought that Ger many must surely see the futility of further attempts to avert defeat by compromise.

WORKERS
 FACE GRAVE PERIL

HARE, France.-Ambulance work is not the safest job imaginable dur ing battle, according to the re- port of Lieutenant E. A. Fish, com manding American Red Cross Sec tion "SS 1O1", to the Red Cross director of transportation.
 During the fighting of July 21-27 the section, consisting of 20 am. balances, worked day and night in a gas-ridden and shell-swept area. Al. though it handled 1286 wounded during the seven days of fighting the section found time to assist a British ambulance in evacuating gas cases.
 The report mentions L. L. Wen. hem, who, after his car had been wrecked, took that of another driver who had collapsed, and worked both posts. It tells of ambulances being so shot-up that the sides resembled sieves. In one case the driver found himself holding only the wheel of his steering apparatus shell had scattered the other parts to the winds.

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary.-The Allies are continuing to make inn portant gains on the Flanders front and from the Disc to the Mouse; and the French are steadily advanc- ing on the Laon-Aisne region. The Allied offensive in Belgium is pro- gressing very favorably. The oper- ations of the American troops to the west of the Mouse have been renewed successfully.
 The German resistance on the Flanders front would appear to be a movement for the purpose of de- laying the Allied advance until the German evaGuation of Belgium has been completed. ..

J. s. TRANSPORT SINKS Al DOCK;
 NO LIVES LOST
Transport America, Forme- German Liner, With Troops On Board,
 Sinks At Pier.

HOBOKEN, N. J.-The United States army transport America, for merly the huge Hamburg American liner Amerika, sank at her pier to- day. The troops on board the trans port at the time were in their berths and the vessel sank so quickly that they had no time to don their clothes.
 The Red Cross hurried supply of clothing and blankets, which were handed out to the shivering soldiers on the pier
 The cause of the sinking is mystery, and a most searching in quiry is to be instituted for the pur- pose of aseertaining the real cause of the accident. The necessary steps are now being taken to raise the vessel and as soon as this has been done a minute examination of the hull will be made.
 No explosion was heard, and it is not thought that the vessel has sus- tained any injury. The rapidity with which she sank and the absence of any sound of explosion gives stability to the theory that someone on board the vessel must have deliberately opened the sea cocks.
