the blaze which ravaged the upper
stories of the building, moved his
clothing into the Office which he &C.
cupied in the building.
1t is charged that Alden was in
the navy recruiting office until about
1890 o'clock on the night Of Oct.
II. eE@~.
The morning of the fire. Slden
communicated his loss to G. G..
Schuyler of the Schuyler Insurance
company. Mr. Schuyler personally
visited the United States recruiting
Office during the day and turned the
matter over to one of the adjusters.
Son of Prominent Man. -
Federal officers say that Alden is
the son of w. A. Alden, Oriental rug
dealer, who has a large place Of
business at 927 Nicollet avenue, Min
neapolis, and who is said to be one
of the wealthy rug dealers in The
northwest. Young Alden enlisted in

ance has been taken out on anything

liminary examination was set for 2

AS To Enrolment Of
Men In Navy

United States Recruiting oficeE
W. E. Alden has been advised that
because OF the fact that a great num-
Der Of radio men are still required in

advisable to enroll a considerable
number of men for instruction in

perience in radio work but who are,
because Of education or former ex-
perience in similar work, better ma
terial than the average enlisted man.
The Fargo recruiting officer is now
authorized to enroll in the naval re-
serve force for general duty such
men as have a fairly good education,
can write legibly at the rate of 25

district. The present rate of enlist
ment of radio men does not exceed a
rate of five day in the district COM
prising the states Of Minnesota and
North Dakota -

taken as a whole. constituting a
series Of lessons in home economies.
There is no threat of privation."
said the food administrator in a
statement formally announcing
Food Pledge week" I'VE wish only
that our people should eat plenty.
but wisely and without waste. Wis
dom in eating is to make possible
such adjustments in our food con-
shipping and war necessi-
ties as will allow us to fulfill our
duty in exports to our allies. BY
of waste We serve our
selves economically and morally.
This is a duty Of necessitV,
and honor. AS a free peo-
pie we have elected to discharge this
duty, not under autocratic decree.
but without other restraint than the
guidance of individual conscience.
Upon the success of this unpreced-
ented adventure in democracy will
largely stake the issue of the war"
Americas Problem.
The problem of America, as The
food administrator sees it. is to feed
the allies this winter by sending
them as much food as possible nf
the most concentrated nutritive
value in the least shipping space.
These foods are wheat, beef. pork.
dairy products and sugar. This is tn
be accomplished, the housewives will
be told, by eating less of these an
more of other foods of which wa
have an abundance. and by wasting
less of all foods.
There is superabundance 0f
vegetables, especially of potatoes
but they cannot be shipped to the
allies because they require from four
to ten times the tonnage OF more

pledge. A million and a quarter of
the country's 22,000.000 housewives

workers will make a house to house
canvass of the county, inquiring of
each housewife whether she has en-
rolled as a member of the food

pledge card.
The workers will carry cards for
those housewives who have not yet

ing as a member of the food admins
