Final Verdict on the

Having fed vagrant colonies of bac-

other toothsome dainties until they
grew fat and bloated and prosperous,
E. r. Dooley, NJ. A M, came to the
conclusion that these denizens on
court plaster in the hands of an itin-
Grant peddler, captured here some
time ago, were not taken by the Kali
ser from his advocate ~bugagerie at
POtSdam and sent here to feast on men
who inadvertently ran up against the
fists of their fellow citizens, but on
the contrary came there through pro-
miScuOuS handling. The above is the
substance of the report, loosely trans
lated, submitted Saturday to prose-
cutting Attorney Frank L. Stephan.
The tubercular germs found flourish
ed when placed on the gl~ycerinated
tuberS, and the other inviting fields,
and a lot of less aristocratic and more
or less neutral bacteria n trib-

diSreputables of the bacteria race
would be tempted to come, but inv1d-
iOuS prO-German bacteria were con-
~SpicuOuS by their absence. 1t is sus-
pected by some that the peddler may
have neglected his usual additions
and that his hands we're soiled, and
thus furnished an inviting field for

When we realize tnat less than
one-fifth of the contents of an average
quart jar of canned fruit is d SUI
gar, it is readily demonstrated that
the increased cost of preserving be-
cause of the increased cost of sugar is
less than one and one-half cent per
quart jar more than five years ago,
when sugar was unusually cheap.
We arrive at this deduction by TAX
ing the average cost of sugar in 1912,
5.4 cents a pound, compared with the
average cost of today at &c a
pound.
When compared with the price of
sugar in 1916, the increased cost per
quart jar of fruit because of the high
er cost of sugar in 1917, is but 6.1O
of a cent per jar.
Very few housewives have thought
of the above. The figures show thai
even a high cost of sugar does not ma
terially affect the cost of putting up
fruit in jars.
Every housewife should put up ev-
cry quart of fruit possible his year.

YSBONDS With
ALIENS MONEY
" ARROW Feathered From
His Own Wing" For
The Kaiser
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. oct. 23.-Subscription
to many million dollars worth of
Liberty bonds will be one of the
first official acts Of A. Mitchell
Palmer, newly appointed enemy
property custodian. On assuming
his duties today Mr.. Palmer found
scores of letters reporting money,
credits, or other property held by
American interests for alien enemies.
These will be tabulated late this
week and a Liberty Loan subscrip-
ton made for a sum probably much
in excess of the actual amount re-
ported, in anticipation of later re-
ports.
Many officials estimate that enemy
property subject to custody of the
government custodian amounts to
hundreds Of millions of dollars.
Mr.. Palmer gave assurance today
that corporations or other business
interests operating with German or
ally-of- f-Germany funds will have as
little interference from him as neces-
sary. He said he would guard against
placing any obstacle in the way OF
smooth operation Of business, and
would cooperate with companies
business plans.
Several companies announced in
letters received today that virtually
all their stock was owned in Ger
many and expressed sollcitude lest
their business be halted when the
government custodian assumes trus-
teeship of the stock. One man wrote
he owed German firm large sum
OF money and asked permission to

Mr.. Palmer said he had not yet
worked out plans for seizing enemy
owned real property. including cot
ton and other materials held in
storage. He said he expected soon
to take up the question Of appointing
attorneys and other representatives
in the leading cities to act for him
in supervising enemy credits.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 23.-A
livestock embargo ON all ship
ments on its lines in Minnesota
and North Dakota to the South
st. Paul or New Brighton stock
yards was declared today by the
Great Northern railroad, to be-
come effective tomorrow. The
outlet to eastern points was also
curtailed in the announcement
here that the Indiana Harbor
line would not accept shipments
of livestock originating in Min
nesota or unloaded in Mime
sofa, and that another road
would not accept shipments for
Kansas City except for immed-
late slaughter. It will be said at
the yards that the difficulty Of
obtaining cars and forage and
the snow in North Dakota which
makes feeding a problem, had
worked hardships, both on stock
men and farmers.

Blakemore Says Boats Re-
turned Without Coal
CargOes

Seventy-ive hundred families in
Cass county will need a ton of hard
coal within the next 80 days, with
only 500 tons available in the hands
OF county retailers now.
This situation was disclosed in an
estimate made this morning by
Robert Blakemore, who has been
making preliminary survey OF the
coal situation, following his appoint
ment as fuel administrator for Cass,
Steele and Trail counties by State
Fuel Administrator Isaac p. Baker
OF Bismarck.
The figures are based on an esti-
mate that there are about 10000
families in Cass county, $500 o. this
number being supplied with coal
which will tide them over for the
winter.
Hard coal is a negative guam
tity," said the administrator. AThere
are now more orders than dealers
can half supply and deliver. Some
who have been so improvident as to
get no hard coal must use soft coal
unless transportation facilities are
improved"
Coranissioner Blakeanore slnted
the fuel administration departments
at washington and Bismarck are
bending every energy TO equitable
distribution.
I'VE are going to place the Fargo
dealers on their word Of honor, or on
a common sense proposition" said
Mr.. Blakemore, that If a buyer or
consumer is not in immediate need
Of the delivery, the dealer in
coal let the order go to some person
who is in actual want. Furthermore,
we are going to place the dealers on
their word that they will not take
bic orders when shipments nave been
received. II they will not do so, we
must then resort to the exercise of
that power known as commander
ing"
Cause For Shortage.
Commissioner Blakemore places
the blame for the coal shortage in
the northwest on the fact that ore
steamers were allowed to clear light
lower lake ports for the head Of the
lakes without cargoes Of coal.
Fargo coal dealers stated this
morning that the hard coal situation
is not relieved in the least. Orders
are still being taken. but no promise
is made as to the deliveries.
OF late there has been a brisk de-
mand for Ignite. because of the
high price Of eastern bitumtnous
coal. In past years, very little hg-
mite has been used in either Fargo
or Moorhead. 1t is handled direct
from cars to consumers.
Difficult To Get Wood.
Wood seems as scarce as hard
coal. Dealers report that the farmers
are not very anxious to naul 1t to
the markets. Birch and maple were
retailine at $10.50 a cord this morn
ing, sawed and delivered; tamarack
at IS a cord, and jack pine at $3.50.

At the Northern Pacific freight Of
flee il was learned today that there
have been only carload shipments
OF hard coal into Fargo over that

of coal ages about 40 tons. The
