So Judge Amidon in federal court
Monday concluded a remarkable
charge in sentencing Rev. John Fon-
tana, pastor of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran church of New
Salem, convicted under three counts
of violating the espionage act OF
1917. Rev. Fontana's council i'm
mediately gave notice of appeal and
filed an appeal bond, together with,
writs of error, and other technical
formalities.
The court denied motions for an
arrest Of judgment and for new
trial, such motions peing based upon
the same alleged errors as specified
in the demurrer to the indictment.
Judge Knauff, in support Of his mo-
tion, argued that the defendant had
not been properly indicted and that
the indictment had not given the
defense a chance for q fair trial.

BOYS APPRECIATE
HONOR GIVEN THEM

I The Tribune is in receipt of the
following letter from the boys who
I'left here last week for special
training at the Agricultural College
to show how they appreciated the
honor given them before they arriv-
ed at the training camp: 1--WE ar
rived at Fargo O. K. We were. met
at the depot with U. S. truck.
Here's to let the people of Bowbells
and Lakeview township know that
we thoroughly appreciate the rea.
sendoff they gave us. We stopped
at Niobe for about two hours, and
were just getting acquainted when
the train came in. The people of
Niobe gave us big watermelon to
take along on the tram: The Cros-
bv boys were on the same train and
we divided it with them. There
was a bunch of soldiers from Spo-
kane on No. 2. They were going to
Virginia and Kentucky. They were
jolly bunch and we sure had a
lively time. The crops looked
great between New Rockford and
Fargo. The wheat looks like it
would go from 20 to 80 bushels to
the acre. So long and hope the
country prospers.

DISEASE IS FOUND
IN POTATO FIELDS

In all parts Of this great Bowbells
country farmers and people in the
city are finding few hills of pota-
toes in their patches affected with
a disease that rots the vines at he
base, and later the tubers under
the affected vine decay A letter
in regard to the disease written to
the Agricultural College sent last
week brought the reply from Prof.
H. l.. Bolley that the trouble with
the spuds is Blackleg, possibly
complicated with Fusarium wilt.
In either case, so far as the grower
is concerned, the remedy is to pull
up every one of the hills that are
so infected and burn the material,
so as not to further contaminate
your fields. Be careful next year
to select your seed, and plant on
different ground from that you
planted this year. If you have
large field of potatoes it would pay
to spray with Bordeaux Mixture to
hold this and other blights in check
from spreading from. vine to vine.
