SH0CKERS and

The Valley City ladies have Joined
in the big job of shocking the grain
Of the farmers and Hugh Mcdonald
had the distinction yesterday of hav-
ing bunch Of shockerettes 60 out to
his farm and do things. In the party
were Mrs. W. T. Craswell, Misses
Betty and Constance Mcpherson,
Emma Won Dumaris, Elsie Stenshoel,
Anna K. Cook and Miss McCullum
and Chief E. H. Swanson, Oscar AL
dahl, F. E. Hedstrum, Rev Healy, w.

Donald-but as he was the boss we
figure that outside of telling the rest
chat to do he did not shock more
4an ten acres himself. This bunch
mt up a lot of shocks and greatly
pleased Mr.. Mcdonald! They are
telling a rather funny joke on Chief
Swanson and we are not going to re-
peat it to say that it was but we will
just give you hint and you can fig
ure it out for yourselves. It seems
that the chief wears tight pants and
is rather corpulent and when he

up to Craswell he said in a stage
whisper 'loan me safety PIN" Now
why Will Craswell should be carrying
around safety pins is more than we
can figure out and that is the way
it turned out-he didn't have any, but
he gave the chief an ordinary pin,
which, after careful manipulation he
managed to use to good advantage, so

FORMER CITIZEN
VISITING IN CITY

H. G. Hyatt, formerly foreman of
the old hester Farm, arrived in the
city Friday and is renewing ac-
quaintances with friends in the city.
Mr.. Hyatt is on the way to Montana
to look after business matters for the
Deere & Weber people. This firm
purchased 20 sections of land Sc miles
lprth OF Terry, Montana, and last
spring broke up several sections and
put it into flax. It got rather dry
out there this summer and breaking
had to be stopped, however, Mr.. Hyatt
seys that on the land seeded they ex-
pect to get from eight to ten bushels
Of flax per acre. This seeding was
done as war measure. He tells that
four outfits from the state of Wash
ington had several sections in that Vi
cinity and put five sections into flax.
Mr.. Hyatt will leave this evening for
Montana to look after this crop.

BETTER PRICES
FOR 1919 WHEAT

Bismarck, Aug. 17.-Commission-
err of Agriculture and Labor John N.
Hagan returned at noon today from
Washington, D. c., where he has been
attending meeting of the federal
agricultural advisory committee of
which he is a member. The govern
ment guaranteed price for 1919 wheat
was one of the chief subjects of dis
cussion before the committee, Mr..
Hagan reports. The committee, he
said, passed unanimous recommended
lions to the president and the food adj
ministration for a price for next
years wheat, but the members of the
committee are bound to secrecy until
the price has been released at WASH
ington. Mr.. Hagan would give no in
timation of what the 1919 price for
wheat would be but he intimated that
it would be more favorable to the
farmers than the price for 1918.
The matter of removing beefless
days was also considered by the COM
mittee and after recommendations
were made to the food administration
beefless days were suspended. In
ability to get feed in the drought
stricken section of the country which
makes it necessary to market stock
before they are ready for the market
was given as the reason for removing
beefless days at this time, in order to
create a demand for the beef.
The farm machinery problem was
also discussed at the meeting. Mr.:
Hagan reports. Another meeting of
the committee will be held in Septem-
Der to continue the discussion of farm
machinery looking to the standardiza-
ton of all farm implements.

is UNDERTAKING.!
That's Counter Attack Against
Administration AsSailant.
Williams Takes Hitchcock to
Task Severely in e. S. Senate.

Washington, Feb. 4.-SenatOr Will
liams, Mississippi, attacking Senator
Hitchcock, after the latter had fin
ished speaking today, declared that
Undertaking of the administration
was a part of the German game"
He charged that Hitchcock had re-
vealed information useful to the
enemy, and that if all he had said was
true we're whipped already"
He bitterly attacked the war cabi-
net bill as being unnecessary.
THE government has been conduct
ing this war with magnificent eff
cheney" declared Williams, land 1
am tirrd of this undertaking.
I'VE all recognize there are defects,
but they are small
eff the president hasn't brains
enough to run this war, we certainly
can't give him brains by act of con-
gress.
No Right to Attack Wilson.
THE trouble with the senators from
Nebraska and Oregon is that they
have been finding specks during their
committee investigation and now have
assembled these specks in big circle
and labelled it the sun.
Il deny any man the right so
strongly to indict the executive branch
of the government as has been
done.
lhe only way we Cdi VIII the vel
is to support the men in charge. Most
of US, however, conceded that. ex-
cept few fool pacifists who have now
almost passed out of political exist
ence."
Williams deplored the fact that
senators were trying to tell the war
leaders how to win the war.
II don't believe there is man in
this room who can tell General PERISH
ing how to fight his battles"
Let Men in France Fight 10 Out.
Pointing to Senator Hitchcock, he
said:
You know less than I do about
fighting, and / know nothing.
The war is in Belgium and France,
not the United States senate" Will
liams shouted, land let's let the men
do the fighting. If Pershing and Bliss
cannot fight the battles, we have other
men who can, but it is not a senator's
place to tell the war leaders how to
fight.
The information given the senate
today is not useful to any one except
the enemy" Senator Williams said
General Crozler has been taken
from this post-that's what you were
after, wasn't it?' He said, turning to
Senator Chamberlain
Williams declared he had prepared
legislation to create a merchant ma
rine soon after thew ar opened.
Il didn't get any votes then, but
