BInkemOre Asks
Big Steamer Be
Taken OFireS

. The fire pressure issue had anoth-
er inning at the regular meeting OF
the city commission this morning
when Robert B. Blakemore, commits
sioner of waterwofkS. introduced a
resolution orderings fire department
employees to take the big steam fire
engine to every fire.
I'VE must not allow ourselves to
be unprepared," Commissioner
Blakemore said in support Of his
resolution. while probably nine of
ten fires are extinguished without
the aid of water, the machinery at
the waterworks plant is not infalli-
ble,, and may fail us when we need
it most. With the steamer on hand,
pressure can be raised from the
water in the mains in the emergen-
cy."
wouldn't it be better to leave the
matter of taking out the steamer to
the discretion of the chief of the fire
department." inquired Commission
er Jordan. r. s.....
A call was sent to J. W. Suther-
land, chief of the fire department,
but he had gone home to lunch. and,
by general consent, the resolution
was laid over until the next meet
ing. IT,.

ThreShing Is
WeUAdUanced

Not in years have the farmers Of
North Dakota been favored with
such excellent weather during the
threshing season, and as a result,
the threshing operations in most of
the south third Of the state are COM
pleted.
In the central and north district
operations are being advanced very
rapidly.
Except for a very heavy rain that
falls over the, state at about the
close of the harvest season. there has
been little or no rain in the state,
and the threshers have been able
to go into the fields day after day
without interruption.
The benefits not only have been
in the more rapid threshing of
grain. but farmers have saved con-
siderable money by reason of the
fact that their expenses in caring
for Iaborers have been smaller, and
the steady work has served to keep
the interruption and comparatively
the men at their work with
out interruption and comparatively
little shifting from farm to farm.

Redemption Is
On Same Basis

In an opinion published in the
current edition of the North Dakota
Banker, official organ of the North
Dakota Banking association, Judge
Edward Bngerud Of Fargo holds that
the state moratorium law does not
operate to extend the period of re-
demptfon beyond that fixed by law.
Judge Engerud holds that title to
the property involved passed to the
holder of the mortgage that was
foreclosed, at the time such for
closure took place, subject to the
right OF redemption, and that the
fact that the man had entered the
service did not extend the period Of
redemption.
The foreclosure having taken
place before the mortgagor entered
the active military service, the title
to the land is vested in the purchased
at the sale subject to the statutory
right to redeem writes Judge Hnge-
rud." If no redemption lis made with
In the time fixed by statute, then
the title vests by operation of law in
the holder OF the sherifrs certificate
as soon as the year ends whether
the sheriff's deed lis taken or not.
IN. other words, the title of the certi-
ficate holder becomes complete and
perfect by operation OF law if no re-
demption La made within the year.

it Of ducks at Englevale, as did a

Tomhafe & Allison, clothiers: Robert
Brink and Art Billmeyer, which also

The hunters are agreed that chick

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Sept. 18.-The devotion of a
French woman to her country was
recorded last week at one of the
American headquarters to which a
woman whose name cannot be mem
toned had made her way through
she'll fire and over a region filled
with gas and traps to bring to the
allies information regarding the
Germans.
with her mother and younger
brother the young woman, who is
not yet 20, had lived at Soulevre
farm since the day it fell into the
hands Of the Germans four years
ago. Four brothers are in the
French army. The mother, daughter
and boy were forced to remain with
in the German lines and witness the
day by day conversion of their prop
erty into a German clubhouse. Dur
ing those four years the two women
endeavored to placate rather than to
antagoniZe their captors.
From German officers who fire.
quented the farm the young woman
obtained information which she rec
ognized to be of the most import
ance. When she heard the barrage
Thursday morning she determined
to run the risk OF crossing the near
ly three miles separating her nome
from the allied lines.
Telling her mother and the others
that she had work to do in the gar
den, the young woman left the house.
She slipped away toward the Ameri-
can lines although every road was
swept by allied and German gum
fire. After many difficulties and
narrow escapes, the young woman
reached the American lines and told
her story.
In return for the information she
brought she asked that every effort
be made to rescue her mother and
brother. The Germans attempted to
maintain their position at Soulevre
Farm, but the Americans overcame
them in desperate fighting. The
mother and brother were brought to
American Headquarters today unin
jured and there was joyful reunion.
