Sch0lander Elected
AS County Agent.

At the Farm Bureau meeting that
was held here Tuesday Mr.. Scholander
formerly of Williston was elected to
take the place of County Agent Hall
who leaves here soon to take up his
work at the Agricultural College. Mr..
Scholander lived in Williston for FIVE
wears and was the man who first had
charge of the Experimental Station
here. He is familiar with the county
and county work and is an expert in
his line of work. We feel sure that
the Farm Bureau has not made any
mistake in selecting man of his
caliber. Mr.. Scholander was wired
rs soon as the meeting was over and
is by this time on his way to Willis
ton from points in Washington to re-
slieve Mr.. Hall. ,,. -..
AT this meeting Tuesday uniform
wage scale for the county during
harvest season was decided upon. 1t
lis as follows: $3.50 per day during
harvest for ten hours work. $3.50
per day for twelve hours work and
$500 per day for teams. Il.

WILLIAMS COUNTY FARM BUREAU
HAS VERY INTERESTING MEETING
The Feed and Labor Question Discussed at Length Township
Charmen Report Crop Conditions and Their Re.
ports Give Average Better than Expected

they had present at this meeting Mr..
Fisher from the Agriculture Depart
ment at Washington, d. c., and for
his benefit the various township chair
men gave an outline of the crop
prospects and conditions in their re-
spective sections. 1t seems that it is
the intention of the government to be
of as much aid to the farmers here
as possible and steps will probably
be taken to help them further in the
future but to what extent Mr.. Fisher
was unable to state at this time.
The county crop prospect as q
whole is not as discouraging as was
first thought. From the survey it is
estimated that the wheat average will
run better than five bushels to the
acre. When taking into considera-
tion the fact that some sections of the
county will not have any wheat crop
at all this average is very good. The
rye crop has turned out better than
expected and in some sections it is
reported that twenty bushels to the
acre will be harvested. The oats crop
is poor in general as we'll as the hay
crop. Below is the reports given by
the township chairmen. This report
does not cover the entire county as
some of the districts were not repre-
sented at this meeting and no report
could be obtained.
Bull Butte-Fair crop. Wheat will
run to 10 bushels to acre. No hay.
Judson Twp-No hay, Fair crops.
Mott-Some hay. Fair crops.
Twp. 153-lO3-Some good crops in
spots. Very little hay.
Good Luck and Barr Butte-No
hay. Good crops. Plenty of straw to

At meeting of the township chair
men of the Farm Bureau held Tues
day at the Court House many impor-
tant questions were discussed for the
benefit of the farmer in the near fu-
ture. The bureau took up the question
of the supply of feed and hay for the
coming winter and from thorough
survey of all the sections Of the coun-
ty it was determined that a large
amount of hay will be needed for the
coming winter if not before as the
hay crop here this year is very poor
and far from sufficient to supply the
demands. Steps must be taken at
once to procure enough hay for the
farmers to feed their stock during
the winter and it was decided to send
men to Minnesota to cut and put up
enough hay to supply the needs Of
those who wanted it. Each township
chairman was authorized to call a
meeting in his district at once and
ascertain the amount that each farm
er will need and report the amount to
the Farm Bureau Secretary Mr.. Gene
Howard not later than next Tuesday
so that work can be started at once
on getting the hay here. 1t was sug-
gested that those farmers who could
get away and furnish teams and men
do so and ship them to Minnesota
where there is plenty of hay to be
had at this time at very reasonaS lie
price,. The farmers of course must
make arrangements for cash pay
ments for the hay in order to obtain
the low price and not run any expense
against the Farm Bureau at this time.
The government seems to be very in
terested at this time in the condi-
tions in this section of the country as

100000 men LOST BY GERMANS
IN THE LAST EIGHT DAYS FIGHTING
Prince Up Against the Real Thng-Alles Still Hammer
ing Away and Germans May Retreat to Vesle River
100000 Huns Being Used in the Battle

the opinion of military observers the
violent German resistance is due
more to political considerations for
it is to the immediate interests of
General Ludendorf from military
standpoint to straighten out his line
without delay.
Allied airmen report conditions
back of the German lines as indi-
cative of German retreat to the
Vesle river. The line of the Ourcq
has been virtually rendered unten-
able by the allies advance to the
neighborhood of Oulchy-le- Chateau
and Ouchy-le-Ville, north of the
stream.
South of scissors the French and
Americans are known to have
reached the western bank of the
Cree river. Should the allies sue
ceed in crossing the Crise in force
and in gaining the plateau to the
eastward of that stream, German
occupation of scissors would prob
ably be short lived. Such an ad-
vance also would make the line of
the Vesle of slight advantage to the
Germans and would probably COM
pei their eventual retirement to the
Aisne river. For this reason the al
lied efforts to forge eastward of
Buzancy may be expected to be re-
doubled and the German resistance
at this point probably will be Of the
sternest character.
Since the fighting began July Is
the Germans are reported to have
used between sixty and seventy d.
visions. Estimated from French
headquarters place the German losses
in that period At 10000 in killed,
wounded and prisoners.

MANY W|[L|ST0N

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
LEONARD POE TELLS OF LIFE
AT TRAINING STATION
Camp Farragut, July 21.


Dear Friend:
lam now at Camp Farragut and
have just returned from church or
rather Catholic Mass with Joe Le-
Dosquet. l found him and George
Merrill and Ralph Greengard all here.
1t helps some to meet people you
know especially when you are not
looking for them. George is in Camp
Decanter right across the ravine and
Ralph is in Camp Perry just north of
here while Joe is in this Camp.
Last night, in fact every night
there is show on in the "ravine"
which is a natural theatre in the
trees and seats several thousand. 1t
is really sort of a pit with seats
around it and when they are filled
with "Jackies" in white uniforms it
makes a picture in itself. Once a
week there is vaudeville company
from Chicago and during the week
it is all home talent. In bunch like
this there is real talent too. 1t
seems strange not to see any women
around but they are not allowed only
at the Y. NJ. C. A. hostess house, by
the gate and there visitors may be
received.
We received our innoculations the
other day and my arms are so sore
l can't touch them.
Scott field (aviation camp) is not
very far from here and the planes
fly over every once in a while. I'm
crazy about getting chance to ride
in one but l may latter on.
Everyone is writing letters today
and reading the papers as there is no
drill. Wet get up at 5 have breakfast
about and drill and so on until II 80
then "chow" as they call it and drill
some more till $50, then supper and
recreation until 9 and taps. Well as
it is almost dinner time l must close.
Yours truly, s
Leonard Poe.

With the American Army on the
Aisne Marne Front, July 24.-12:5o
p. m.-Along the line north of Chs.
teau Thierry the Franco-American
forces have driven the Germans out
of nearly all of the Chatelet forest
The allied advance was made in
considerable jumps in that area
the Germans continuing their rear
guard fighting and depending much
upon their machine guns.
Further to the west the Americans
gained the ascendancy over the Ger
mans and drove through and beyond
the town of Epieds.
American cavalry was used at one
point in the operations north OF the
Chateau Thierry line.
To the northward the most in
tense resistance was offered along
the extended German right flank,
but the reports are that the allies
have made gains and that the Ger
mans have been unable to halt the
movement toward their lines of sup
plies.
Germans Using 100000 Men
Paris, July 24.-Each days opera
tions bring further proof of the COM
pleteness with which the genios of
General Foch has turned the tables
on the Germans. Instead of slowing
down to a condition of what has
been called stabilization, as the gen.
eral public from experience expected,
the allies continue to~push forward
in the face of determined and skilful
resistance by the Germans.
The enemy, according to reports,
now has IS divisions in the bsttle
zone, 100000 men of which arsi n
the region north of the Marne. In

On Firing Line

- Letter to father and mother a;
Williston tell of the terrific noise OF
the artillery. Making it hot for the
Germans. Alec left last year with
the company from Minot:
France, June IS, 1918.
Dear Father and Mother:
I am now up to the front and my
address is as follows: Headquarters
Co. 18th Field Artillery, End Division.
Matters are much more interesting
up lere than they were behind the
lines for there is more going on here
at all times.
The first few nights was here I
could not sleep at all, on account Of
all the noise but now pay no atten-
tion to it at all. The more noise the
merrier, for more noise less Germans.
l have been up here just week to-
day.
Certainly am glad l am out of the
Infantry for no more rifle to pack
around. l now have an automatic.
The day I left for the front the
General came down and bid me good
bye for you know l was supposed to
go back to the Brig. Hdqts., as signal
man, but they needed US up here i'm
mediately, so could not 60 back to
the Brig.
Regards to all, with love,

Fine Program For
Community Club

From q letter received this week
from Alex Karr of jamestown we arf
able to get some idea of the splendid
program that will be furnished the
Community Club during the coming
year. Mr.. Karr writes as follows:
While in your city last week thirty
six of your business and professional
men were enrolled to boost our pro-
gram in your city. I intend to return
there in the near future and secure
an equal number of farmers.
am certain that your people will
make your Community Club a unique
affair in the history of your city and
state. l am sure that all those VINO
met with me while there agree with
me that such an outcome is both de-
sirable and necessary.
We have just completed arrange
ments with the Civic Bureau of Chi
cago for our list of concert and enter
tainment companies. We believe that
we have secured line of talent that
will make a bit hit in the large cities
and at the same time go big IN the
smallest villages. We will have
splendid negro Jubilee Company,
very good male quartet, a ladies
novelty quartet and very fine harp
orchestra. Our list is very expen-
sive one but we believe that the best
is none too good.
Sincerely,
Alex Karr.
Besides these entertainment COM
panies there will appear lecturer
at each entertainment to help the
people in the building up of the COM
