While Man Destroys,
Woman Must Conserve.

In times Of peace, man is the producer His
work is constructive. and woman IS the spender
OF the wealth he has created. But in times OF
war when men devote their lives to defense
their work becomes martial and destructive, and
the position OF men and women is reversed
man IN the spender of the nations resources
while woman becomes its conservor While
men are occupied in plans for military de-
tense, We must look to woman for the
ssrvatIon Of the equally important national
defense-the food supply. No army is
stronger than its commissary. and battles have
been lost at the mess-table before underfed
men ever faced the enemy.
The strength of the commissary as well as
adequate provisions for non-combatants at
home, lies In the hands Of woman. If she is
wasteful of food, IL she unsettles the market
by unwise purchasing, or buys imported goods
and thus decreases our international trade
balance, she Is by just that much robblng the
men at the front and weakening home re-

the past few days organized an Economy

the Government by reducing expenditure, by
refusing to purchase Injuries, by restricting
home consumption to the lowest possible
limits" and by giving up unnecessary enter

the ACCESSIBILITY OF greater preparedness" in
our own country.
The men OF the nation have already recog.

camps for college boys and business men in
various sections. They have recently formed
a Naval Advisory Board. with such men as
Edison, Wright. etc. as consultants. There
Is general discussion and some action by
army and navy experts and by private citizens
But as yet no definite programme for
woman's share in the deeper preparedness
has been offered. either by herself or by men

her sex? Are her services valueless because
she cannot carry a musket? Is there not a

all battles are not won in the trenches and that

StalIings Says Fred Merkle Is
First Baseman of High Degree

New York, Jan. 11.-George Stallings
is noted as saying that he considers
Fred Merkle a great first baseman.
George is not alone in his opinion
that Merkle is a much better mar
than the jokesmiths would have us
believe. If he is punk, it is strange
McGraw has held onto him for so long,
and has made no prodigious effort to
get a substitute. Whenever McGraW
has been in the market for a success
sor to Merkle he has sought one OF the
brightest of the stars in that position,
and has never considered men OF or
binary caliber. Merkle is and has
been a good first sacker.
If support for that is desired, ask
Jake Daubert. Jake said last spring
it was a crying shame the way Mer-
k,e has been belittled in the public
mind because of the bone pay wnich
he was charged with making IN lSoo;
It was a play that SO out of every 10y
hall PLAYERS would have made, and
which would have been forgotten IN a
week if the National league champion
shin had not depended upon the one
game. ~
Daubert also drew attention to the
fact that, because Of the Advertising
signs and the confusion in the light
wrought by them, the Polo GROUNDS
have been for many seasons the ara
est in the major leagues on a 1rst
baseman's eyes in judging a thrown

L. L. Twichell, representative froS,
Cass county, yesterday introduced a
concurrent resolution in the house

Mr. Twichell moved the adoption OF
a resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a Joint committee, three from
the house and three from the senate,
to consider the number of journals,
bills and calendars to be printed and
distributed during this fourteenth
legislative assembly. After a motion
to refer this resolution to the commit
tee on supplies and expenditures was
defeated the resolution introduced by
Nj. Twichell was adopted and the FOL
lowing committee was named by the
speaker to represent the house on the
Joint committee provided for: l.. l..
Twichell, Dean of Grand Forks, and
Burnett.
The senate %cOncurred in the
Twichell resolution and the following
senate committee was appointed:
Senators Davis, Mcbride and Nelson

Twichell made vigorous protest
against the resolution Introduced by
Mr.. Dean of Grand Forks which. pro-
vided for the wholesale distribution
of journals and bills to newspapers,

to the state.
The Dean resolution was referred
to the committee on supplies and ex-
penditures.
