Some Sections Report Over
Subscriptions But Sales
men Still In Field

Districts in Cass county, outside of
Fargo city, will run way over their
quota, which is 5000. 1000, in the sale
Of second Liberty Loan bonds.
This was predicted at Caas
county headquarters this morning,
when reports came in showing that
two districts had done the trick the
General w. F. Baillie at Hunter
and his army got S22,500 Monday.
The Hunter and vicinity quota was
$4,000.
General r, F. Gunkelman at Gran
din and his army made the quota be-
fore o'clock Monday, and expect TO
double or treble the amount allotted
to them.
Both generals reported that their
districts had hardly been scratched.
Reports from other districts in the
county this morning were more gen.
eral, but indicated that things were
fine. that everyone was work.
ing. and that the quota would be hit
and passed.

absolute check on every person who

EGGS!

Have you tried to buy strictly
fresh eggs lately and found that they
were scarce at As ana so cents per
dozen? A party who has just come
from Los Angeles says that eggs are
75 cents there. They will be rs cents
or $1.00 here before spring. Com
mercial egg farms must pay twice as
much for feed and more for help than
a year ago. At the present prices, it
costs them $3.50 for feed for year
for one hen. They must pay help and
have a heavy investment for houses.
1t is impossible to keep a large flock
of chickens without having sickness
which you would not have in a small
flock as you can give them better
care. You would save the expense of
help as you would do the work in
your spare time. A dozen hens should
keep the average family in eggs all
winter and the cost will be small as
you can feed the scraps from the
table and buy some grain. Any one
who does this will be helping to con-
serve the food supply and the gov
eminent should not allow any one to
kill a hen that is under two years
old. ] am compelled to dispose Of

State Hunters After Tonight
Has Been Poor Year.

Today marks the closing Of the

snap is reported to have brought
many wild birds down from the

as the hawks and crows.
