Three Railroads.&c.
Make Low Seed Rate

Fargo, March 6.-Through the ef-
forts Of Prof. Bolley, state seed COM
missioner O.. who returned yesterday
from New York and Washington,
three railroads in the state, the Great
Northern, the Northern Pacific and
the 500 line have issued special
proportional tariff to apply on seed
grain or feed grain, including barley,
oats, rye and wheat in carloads and
less to be shipped entirely in inter-
state traffic.
Saving of Thousands
The reduction in rates which has
been secured amounts to ten per cent
on less than carlot shipments and to
Is per cent on rcarlot shipments. AS
there is a vast, amount of grain to be
moved from various points in the
state to other points it is estimated
that the saving to the grain growers
will run into the thousands of dollars.
The order was issued by the rail-
roads on March 2, went into effect
March 4 and will be effective. until
May Il. The order is as follows:
Basis for Joint Rates on Grain
"Carload shipments originating at
and destined to points on connecting
lines named herein, where the entire
haul is wholly within the state of
North Dakota will be subject to
eighty-five per cent of the sum of the
locals and less than carload shipments
will be subject to ninety go per cent
of the sum of the locals, plus actual
drayage charge, if any, paid at the
transfer point.
carload shipments will be inter
changed with connecting lines only at
junction points where there are track
connections. si>,...-
"Subject to the same rules and reg
ulations as apply in connection with
the local rates. @
"Agents at destination must satisfy
themselves that shipments are intend
ed solely for seeding or feeding pur-
poses." ...~

Bismarck, March 5.-Governor
Lynn j. Frazier, addressing 400 del
egates to the seventh annual conven-
tion Of the Farmers Grain Dealers

appeal to the grain men of the state

courage the planting Of an increased
acreage of food crops this season.
!, The chief executive emphasized the
necessity Of an increased production
of grain in the United States to feed
the armies of this country and it's al
lies and said. that the eyes of the
world were turned upon. North Da-
kota, the greatest production for the
cause of democracy. -.

Barnes County Organization for
Third Liberty Loan Committee
PREPARE FOR LIGNITE

While prospects from the federal
fuel administrator for North Dako-
ia have preserved to this state its
share of dock coal now held to our
credit and have resulted in the with
drawal of orders issued ten days ago
declaring an embargo on imports of
bituminous coal, it seems inevitable
that North Dakota's importations of
eastern coal must be greatly reduced,
if not almost entirely eliminated, dur
ing the coming fuel year. The fuel
administration, therefore, urges that
consumers during the approaching
summer have their furnaces and
stoves equipped for the burning of
ignite where tbs is possible, and that
If new furnaces or stoves are pur-
chased, their adaptability to the use
of native coal be considered. Any
stove which will burn wood or btu
minous coal will satisfactorily con-
sumo Ignite, and will give practical
ly the same results. A somewhat
larger fire-pot than necessary for the
burning of the finer sizes of bitumin-
GUS coal is preferable, but not imper-
ative.

American Soldiers Make
Raid and Take Prisoners
Bismarck Boy Killed

Bismarck, March 5.-Lloyd w,
Speltz, "a years old, son Of Mrs. Anna
Gratin Of this city, reported killed in
action on March /, enlisted shortly
after the declaration Of war. He is
survived by his mother and sister,
Esther, a student of the University
Of Minnesota. A card recently receiv-
ed by his. mother ended with the
words: Eve start on a trip tomorrow,
but that is all l can tell you here"
He is the first Bismarck boy losing
his life in the war
The grief-stricken Mrs. Gratin said
tonight: II don't know of better
way for my boy to lose his life"
= Again the Germans in Lorraine
have attacked the American troops
and again they have met with defeat.
Notwithstanding the heavy snow and
the. previous repulses, they had met
with in their effort to penetrate the
American positions, the enemy Mon
day night in the Toul sector essayed
a surprise attack in considerable
force. The Americans were quickly
after them, however, and they were
forced to beat hasty retreat.
Later the Americans themselves in
the same region took the initiative
into their own hands, and, sallying
forth as raiding unit, penetrated
German positions and brought back
prisoners.
Shells Thick and Fast
Shells have been falling thick and
fast within the American lines and
upon the enemy's position on the Toul
sector today. Aside from big bar
rage which the enemy placed on the
American positions at daylight in this
neighborhood, 1000 projectiles have
been dropped in the vicinity of the
terrain occupied by the Americans,
many of them upon towns. The Amer.
lean casualties, however, have been ex-
tremely light.
A man was killed at listening post
yesterday. Only two cartridges re-
mained in his rifle which was found
under his body and there were other
indications that he died fighting.
Bad weather prevails along the en-
tire western front, but nevertheless,
the. Australians have again raided
enemy positions near Warrenton,
which lies to the southeast of Ypres,
and taken more prisoners and several
machine guns. This was the second
venture Of the kind on the part of the
in as many days in which
the enemy losses have been fairly
high.
The Germans, after having heavily
bombarded the British lines west of
Lens, launched an attack, but the
British easily repulsed it, inf1icting
heavy casualties on the Teutons and,
taking many prisoners.
AS in France and Belgium, the wea-
ther conditions on the Italian front
are also extremely bad with snow
storms in the mountains and heavy
rains in the plains. During breaks in
the storms, however, patrol parties
have been active in the mountain re-
gion and artillery duels of consider
able violence have taken place on var
ious sectors.
