Went far ahead until he was within
range of Nonsard. With one wen
placed shot he knocked two Germans
out Of a church steepIe from which
they were firing a machine gun.
A lieutenant, shot through the
palm of sthe left hand by an explosive
bullet, was sent to a hospital but
escaped and walked six miles back
to the field. He appeared at his tank
with the statement that he could
carry on" with his right hand.
Several others were wounded but
remained on duty. No one was kill
ed, however, even though German
sixinch shell ploughed clear through
a small tank, destroying it, but in
juring only one of the crew. An
other tank captured a battery Of
seventy seven but was. so far
ahead of the infantry it could not
turn over the guns to them.
The story is told of another tank
which went into a town with

on the turret This machine cap

sevens," five 4 machine guns and
many men. s.. r.s.
Tanks were occasionally as much
as two miles ahead of the infantry,
throwing CONSERVATION into the Ger
mans. Part of the success which at
tended their share IN the battle un-
doubtedly was due to the intensive
training given drivers who are
taught to operate the machines
blindfolded, guided only by signals
from the gunners. This sometimes is
necessary when the I drivers are
blinded temporarily by spIashes Of
mud.

With The American Army On The
Lorraine Front, Sept. 19.-SQuadrons
of American manned tanks, operaE-
ing for the first time on a large scale
in the attack on the st. Mihiel SAIL
ent, played an important and drama
tic part in the defeat of the Ger
mans.
DIVIDED into brigades-ught, in
termediate and heavy-the tanks
swung out onto the field OF battle
Immediately after the barrage. Be-
fore the day ended they had entered
the villages Of Nonsard, Pannes, La
Marche and Bfnney, considerably
ahead of the infantry.
Early in the action difficulties
were experienced in getting to the
front sufficient gasoline, although a
great fleet Of gasoline tanks had
been prepared to carry supplies. The,
gas tanks were attacked by the en-
envy or were mired, and it was here
that American ingenuity came to
the rescue.
Barrels of gasoline were trundled
and rolled over the roadless fields by
daring volunteers to meet the most
pressing needs. Bobsleds, curiously
enough, were found more efficient
than wagons in carrying supplies
since they could be dragged over the
mud without being mired, and on,
them hundreds Of gallons Of gaso-
line were conveyed to the fighting
tanks.
The advance Of the tanks brought
out many examples of daPing on the
part OF their crews. One major

luxury taxes caused some discus
sion, some members contending the
bills rates too low, and others that
they are too high. An amendment
by Representative Plat Of New
York to reduce the luxuries rate
from 90 to 10 per cent was defeated.
The most important matters re-
manning to be disposed Of are the
proposal to tax cotton SO a bale.
and to impose 5 per cent tax on
products of child labor. The cotton
tax was formally proposed today by
Representative Moore Of Pennsyl-

the proposal would be rejected.

MATCHED,
PULLETS ONES TO
FILL EGG BASKETS
SAYS PETERSON

The pullets that fill the egg basket
in the early fall and winter are the
early Matched pullets.4 A pullet must
| be Matched early enough to reach
| comparative maturity before cold
weather begins in order to lay in the
fall and continue to lay during Win
ter, the time of highest prices, says
Enoch J. Peterson, poultry expert, at
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege. E.
In the medium and large breeds the
end Of the second laying season
should be the limit of age. In. Sc,
lection for future egg production
Plymouth Rock, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds, Orpingtons, Brahmas,
and Langshands come in this class,
while the smaller breeds as Leg
horns, Minorcas, Anconas, Compines,
may be kept for a year longer or a
third laying season. 49,.
Placing in Winter Quarters.
The first week in October is not
any too early to place the. early
Matched pullets in their winter quar-
tiers. Before the birds are placed in
the house, 1t should be ,cleansed
thoroughly. If it has a dirt floor
from four to six inches Of the sur
face should be removed every year
and replaced by fresh sand or loan
in order to keep the floor in a sani-
tary condition. The house should be
white washed or thoroughly sprayed
by some good dislnfectant. Be sure
I the house Is well ventilated. A COM
mon mistake is to close the windows
in early fall and cause the birds to
sweat at night, which will cause cold
and encourage roup and other dis
eases. Without plenty of air it is i'm
possible to have house that as either
dry or sanitary. Send for Circular
No. IA, on poultry houses.
Feeding Green Food.
To take the place of grasshoppers,
worms and bugs obtained in the late
spring and summer the fowls must
be provided with animal food, after
the frost has killed the bugs and
worms. High grade meat scraps Of
fer convenient form of animal food.
Fresh green bones make one OF the
very best animal foods. Half an
ounce per hen daily will be sufficient.
Milk is also good.
One Of the very best grass foods
is sprouted oats. Alfalfa and clover
meal are high in protein content and
make good additions to an egg pro-
duction ration. Mangels, cabbage

may be kept before the birds in open
hoppers. Save the wheat for human
consumption. Feed variety Of grains,
including corn, oats and barley. When
the birds are confined all small grain
should be fed in filters to s inches
deep to keep them busy.

In all counties where grasshoppersS

the past season the county commits
sioners should take active steps to-
ward the enforcement OF this law.
1t will be found upon investigation,
that there are almost no counties in
North Dakota that do not have
grasshoppers in dangerous numbers,
over more or less of the cultivated
area. In some of the counties in the
central and western parts of the
state grasshoppers are found in con-
siderable numbers in almost every
field. The time to take active meas
ures is now, if we would escape a
wholesale calamity next year.
