cIared that the Peoples Council could

prevent the meeting.
The report had been sent out of

In telling the circumstance to bis
colleagues at the special meeting OF

ment to make, except that Fargo
was well advertised in the east.

HOLDING eAcK THE WHEAT.

Wheat shortage which is causing
mills in Minneapolis and other
cities to close temporarily, is un-
doubtedly caused by a desire on the
part of the farmer to wait a while
and see how this new plan is go
ing to work out"
Much has been made Of the con-
fusion due to the inauguration Of a
new plan Of marketing grain, but
in the opinion of DR.. Ladd of the
price fixing committee. there were
but two points of any Importance to
be made clear. and the food admin
stration took prompt steps to adjust
these, sending an agent to the state
for the purpose.
Also, Mr.. Hoover has not yet made
IL perfectly clear whether or not the
price is to continue until next July,
but that uncertainty should not in
terfere with the marketing Of the
wheat. II should hasten II. IL any
thing.
The question of the increased
commission was also promptly taken
up by Mr.. Barnes, head of the wheat
board, and he ordered the old COM
mission restored. He consented to
give the grain dealers a hearing in
Chicago next week.
Thousands of farmers are holding
the bulk Of their crop until after the
meetings in Fargo and st. Paul,
probably believing that some infor-
nation of importance will be given
out at that time. Meanwhile the
country needs the wheat and the
government is willing to pay for it.
If the government is able to make
good" on itst plan to eliminate spec
ulation, there will be no iuctuation
in price and the farmer will gain
nothing by holding his wheat. He
will lose his interest and storage
charges by holding 1t.

How hateful is Hate and the works

As over the seas song was blown,
In another tongue, but Of import

Blended Of wrath and malignant
A Hymn of Hate-of the DEVILS own,

An unceasing Hymn Of Love for

HAIL TO THE sPUDI

On at least one staple food there
promises to be no restriction, either
patriotic or financial. as to the
amount to be consumed.
Potatoes can be eaten freely this
coming winter without feeling that
the poeketbook is being "bled white"
or that the one extra one you eat
might save the life Of a Belgian
child.
The potato crop is plentiful. despite
the recent frosts, and while the price
will not drop to any such figure as
30 cents a bushel, or even twice that
sum. the prospects are that in Fargo
It will be possible to lay in a win
ter's supply at a figure under the 81
mark, If you choose the time, the
place and the potatoes carefully.
Stock up with potatoes. They are
too bulky to be shipped abroad in any
great quantities. Here is one
instance in which you will not be
accused of boarding food If you lay
in a years supply. During the next
few weeks the price will probably be
as low as it will be during the pres
ent crop year. 1t is the consumers
opportunity, and he will be aiding
both himself and the farmer by
stocking up with all he needs from
the home grown supply. Buying

RIGA AND THE REVOLUTION.

y The deep under currents Of Rus
sian politics are hidden from the
outside world, and the underlying
factors can be guessed at only, but
such news as comes from Petrograd
Indicates a close connection between
the fall of Riga and General Kor-
niloffs short lived revolution.
For weeks Riga has been at the
mercy of the Germans. They could
shave taken it at any time it suited
their purposes. but they saved it for
the time it was needed to revive the
flagging enthusiasm of the people at
home, or to give impetus to some
new movement in Russia.
General KorniIoff's revolution may
have sprung from purely patriotic
motives. He may have felt that a
military autocracy was needed to
eaye the country from complete an
Rrchy and German dominance.
on the other hand, it is just pos
sible that he was a tool of those
seeking to restore the monarchy.
with the aid Of Germany. It has been
shown since the revolution that
Gar Nicholas was flirting with the
idea Of a German alliance. The
'WilIy' and "Nicky' letters proved
that he was at least on very friend
~ terms with the German Kaiser.
Time alone viii show which mo-
tive ruled General Korniloff, but
there is good reason to believe that
the capture Of Riga was timed to pre-
csde the Kornilof revolution, wheth-
81 with the generals connivance. or
simply in the hope that it would
lend strength to the revolutionists
and split Russia with q Civil war.

Lesson No. %.
GETTING AHEAD IN THE ARMY

GETTING AHEAD IN The ARMY,
Since regimental and company
officers have full responsibility for
the efficiency of their teams they are
given corresponding authority In
promoting men from the ranks to
positions as noncommissioned ON
GERS. For all practical purposes
their Judgment as to the men under
them Is regarded as final.
One point as to which you may feel
assured is the earnest desire Of every
officer to give promotion to the men
who are best qualified-in other
words, to select the men who have
cultivated the soldierly qualities and
in addition show capacity for furth-
err development and for leadership.
The officers are fully as much inter-
ested in promoting men on the basis
OF merit as any of the men are in
terested in securing promotion. For
the officers own burdens are tighten
ed and their success is increased al
most in direct proportion to their
ability to promote the right men.
Chances For Promotion.
The first rank above private is
corporal. The corporal should be q
real leader. He is expected to be
more familiar with the various man
uals and regulations and with the
duties Of the men in the squad than
are the men themselves. He is ex-
pected also to use his influence
strongly toward building up soldierly
qualities among these men.
Among the qualifications which all
noncommissioned officers should
possess the following have been
selected by one military writer as
being Of the first importance:
/. Proficiency as guides in close
order drills, and particularly as
column leaders in route marching.

test This not proving entirely
popular, it has been changed to
a meeting to discuss price fix
ing Of all commodities. The
meeting will be held in st. Paul,
Sept. Is to 90. In the meantime
the wheat market is in an I'M
settled condition.
Bowman is feeling the STRINGS
of the martial spirit. The Bowman
County Pioneer has the following
suggestion:
A farmer suggested to us the
other day that he thought there
should be a rousing patriotic
meeting held in Bowman the
same as in other cities he re-
Gently visited. We agree with
him, and no doubt something Of
the kind will be done soon. At
this time meetings of a patri-
otto nature should be held in
States at least once a month.
AS in the Civil war, the copper
head element in all communities
make a great deal more noise
than all the loyal citizens, at
least until they are properly sill
enced by the authorities, so that
some may be of the opinion that
very little loyal sentiment ex-
lists. Let the loyal people not
only work, but make a little
noise for the cause of justice.
Washburn is having the typical
experience of all North Dakota COM
munities, of seeing her young men
leave for the training camps. Here
is what The Washburn Leader has
to say of it:
The Washburn people today
have a more vivid realization OF
what war means than ever be-
fore. Seeing volunteers leave
for the front and reading ac-
counts of others leaving, does
not have the same effect as see
ing eight stalwart fellows go at
one time, after the band has
played to cheer them on and all
home friends have waved their
last farewells. 1t brings war near
at home and makes a person
hope and pray more earnestly,
that peace, that is peace, will
soon be declared.
The Walsh County Record has the
following comment on the recent
activities of the Peoples Council
and Governor Fraziers attitude:
North Dakota has received
some very unenviable advertis-
ing during the past week through
the action of. Governor Frazier
in offering to the Peoples Coun-
Gil of America the right to meet
in this state and be guaranteed
police protection. The governor
evidently assumed that the
right of petition and of free
speech was in jeopardy in the
United States and that he, as
chief executive of this common
wealth. should rush into the
breach and preserve for poster
ity these great rights Of a free
people. There lis no one in this
country who does not believe in
free speech and the right of peo-
pie to assemble in an orderly
manner and discuss public ques-
lions and petition the govern
ment for remedies from unjust
or oppressive laws. This organi-
zation, however, is not in exist
ence for any good purpose. It's
leaders are professional agi-
tators and visionary dreamers
whose present business is to
hamper the government in the
prosecution of the war. They are
not handed together for any 9TH
er purpose than to create dis
tErbance and sedition and arouse
in the people dissatisfaction with
the acts lof the federal govern
ment.

PACKERS PLACE
 PLANTS UNDER
 U. S.. CONTROL
Entire Industry Is To Be Under Regulation of Food
 Administrator.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Government regulation of the meat packing indus try will be the next move of the food administration. A voluntary offer of representatives of the packers to put their plants under licensing system made to Herbert Hoover, the food ad- ministrator, at conference here to- day, was accepted and plan or con- trol will be drawn up shortly.
 The packers. numbering about a score. came to Washington to take up with Mir. Hoover the threatened meat shortage and the subject of raising prices. That prices can be brought down litle unless determined effort is made to increase production of live stock. is the opinion of the packers. The great export demand. they believe, will maintain prices at high level ur- til after the war has ended.
