Washington, Nov. 28.—Thanks- giving day finds America's horn of plenty with new high record full- ness. Responding faithfully to Presi- dent Wilson’s appeal and the needs of a war-torn world, Amer- ican farmers produced a gross total of $21,000,000,000 worth of farm products, equal in value to - the nation’s total expenditure in one year of war. That great total being the value of all crops, animals and animal products, was $6,500,000,000 great- er than last year, and more than the combined value of any two previous years, There were rec- ord crons of corn, oats, rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobacco, and beans. The principal farm crops will reach more than $12,000,000,000 in value; minor crops, $2,500,000,000 and animals and animal products, including butter, cheese, and eggs, about $6,500,000,0C0. This year’s values are based on the preliminary productions and, prices paid to producers Novem- ber 1, as reported by the depart- - ment of agriculture. The official estimate of farm crop values will be made December 11.

There have been other Thanksgiving days which found America absorbed in war; days when the republic was fight- ing for its very existence. Nev- er has a Thanksgiving day found America involved in a more right- eous or holy cause than it is to- day. No Thanksgiving day has found America more vigorously and successfully defending the cause of democracy and rignt and justice. “We should be thankful tomor- row that we are Americans; thankful that America once more has proven true to the trust im- posed in her by liberty-loving people the world over; thankful that Americans to a man have stood and are standing back of the president and the administra- tion in this war; thankful that we as a state and as a community have done our share and have the faith and courage to continue to. do our share, whether the call be for-our blood, our brawn or our money.” —Mayor A, W. Lucas. “Bismarck has abundant reason to be thankful that, though our nation is engaged in the present awful arbitrament of world de- mocracy, yet the pinch of poverty, business stagnation or retrensh- ment, or the sad casualties of the firing line have not flaunted in our faces the Prussian threat of “Deutchland uber alles.” Further, we shall be thankful in our fixed conviction that our liberties shall remain unmenaced, even though American blood be spilled in their defence.” G. N. Keniston, Secretary, Bismarck Commer- cial Club.

ATTACKS FOUCHT IN BOURLOW WOOD Teutons Try Every Scheme to Regain Lost Heights About City of Cambrai DESPERATE FIGHT TAKES PLACE ABOUT FONTAINE British Lines still Intact Against One of the Worst Resistance of War |. (By Associated Press) British Headquarters in France, Tuesday, Nov. 27.-~-Desperate and san- guinary fighting has been raging in and about Fontaine Notre Dame since | dawn today when the British attacked! the strongly held village. Shortly aft-; er 9 o'clock it appeared that the. as- saulting British had stornjed its way through the village, botH from the houses of the hamlet and from La- Folie wood to the southeast. Five hundred German prisoners were taken in the early hours: of’ the ‘fighting. Late this afternoon the (iermans hurried up two new divisions and threw them in for’a counter attack along the Fontaine-Bourlon wood line. The fighting which followed in Fon- taine was even more bitter, if possi- ble, than that which‘occurred in the first rush through the ruined hamlet. At latest reports superior numbers of enemy infantry had pushed the Brit- ish back through the village again to the. western: and: northwestern out- skirts, but the battle continued with unabated fury. { In the meantime, the British line running around Bourlon wood to the northwe:s was sustaining heavy as- saults. ‘The enemy seemed to be de- termined to regain this important posi- tion if it were humanly possible. The whole front, from Fontaine to Bourlon villagé was the scene of. fierce fight- ing, which at many times-*%as at close quarters. The British line‘about Bour- lon wood is still intact. The attack on Fontaine Notre Dame was begun with the assistance of a heavy artillery barrage and through- out the morning the British gunners maintained an intense fire against the German positions there. The onrush- ing infantry drove an entering wedge into thé’ northwestern part of the ‘villagein ashort time, but they were :held:-up there -by® terrific rifle and machine gun fire, to which they were subjected from every point of van- tage. Conditions were favorable to the Germans, for they ‘were fighting on the defensive on well prepared posi- tions which could only be taken by storm. Every machine gun was equiv- alent to several hundred rifles. De- spite the disadvantages the British continued the onslaught. It was a glorious demonstration of bulldog cour- age. They surged on and in less than three hours had pushed the hard hit- ting Germans “back to the eastern dead strewing the streets.

The commission ‘took the matter under advisement. | ' “At the close of the Shields hearing, ‘the board took up the cnarges of J. A.

With the defendants, who are represented by Andrew J. Miller, former attorney general, are C. L. Sawyer, father of the Roach buyer, and D. A.

Question of Grades. “The issue seems to be a question of grades,” said Secretary J. H. Cald- erhead of the railway commission this {afternoon at the conclusion of the hearing. “The evidence indicates’ that all of the elévators in the northwestern part of ihe state have been buying on the same basis, and that the old grades have been used to a large ex- tent.
