SOME THINGS you MAY NOT
kNow Aa0IIT uSE OF EGGS.


The principal food element fur
nished by eggs is protein, the nitro
genous tissue building element whose
presence in considerable proportion
also gives meats, fish, milk, cheese,
etc.. their special food value. Eggs
can, therefore, be substituted in the
diet for the latter foods without
materially altering the protein con-
sumed.
In addition eggs also furnish fat
and a number of valuable mineral
elements, including sulphur, phos-
phorus, iron, calcium and nagnest-
UNI, in an easily assimillble FORM
and are believed also to be rich in
certain essential vitalizing elements
called VitaminS.
Like milk and unlike meats, eggs
do not contain substances couverti-
BILE in the body into uric acid. Their
shells constitute the only waste
materials. Ninety-seven per cent Of
the portion eaten-a high proportion
compared to other foods digest
ed.
No extended cooking IL necessary
for eggs, and there is, therefore. a
saving of time, labor and fuel In
their preparation when they are
compared with many other foods.
For all these reasons eggs deserve
an important place in the diet FOR
use at times in place of other foods
rich in protein, provided egg prices
are not so high as to outweigh the
other considerations.
How to Preserve Eggs.
Housewives will often find 1t ad-
vantageous to preserve their own
eggs in the home, purchasing them
when. the supply is abundant, and

.INCENDIARISN
BELIEVED TO Be
CAUSE OF BLAZE
Dakota Coal Company Elk
periences $4,000 Blaze
lat flasher on 500

Minot. N. D.. Aug. 10.-A loss u
$4,000 was the estimate made today
by officers of the Dakota Coal Co
whose large boarding house and
stable at the company's plant at
Tasker were destroyed by fire.
That the blaze was of incendary
origin is the belief of the officers
for both structures were discovered
to be on fire at the same time,
though they are 400 feet apart The
boarding house was evidently set on
fire from the inside and was a mass
OF flames before the department ar
rived, and was unoccupied at the
time.
An investigation conducted by the
company officers has convinced them
that no one living in the Tasker
vicinity is responsible for the fire,
There has been no trouble between
the company and It's men. In June
there was a strike but 1t amounted
to nothing.
Tasker is located on the 500 lire
just north of this city.

WHAT THE MARKET BASKET
SHOULD EARN.

Why should not the old fashioned
market basket come into its own
again, in these days Of war prices?
The market basket should save
Fargo consumers many thousands of
dollars yearly in delivery costs.
There are two requirements: n
willingness on the part Of the con-
sumner to carry home packages. and
a willingness on the part of the
merchant to estimate the cost of his
delivery system and give a proper
Tomato discount to those who do
not avail themselves OF 1t.
The careful merchant knows what
his delivery system costs him. 1t
amounts to a certain percentage Of
the overhead cost of doing business.
For the moment let it be placed at
10 per cent. That may be too high
or too low. Let the merchant place
a certain price upon his goods at
the store, and a certain price at the
customers door, the difference being
the delivery cost. Give the customer
the benefit of her activity with the
market basket.
The merchant has a good excuse
for not adopting the plan. He must
maintain his delivery system any
way, and 1t is a fixed charge. II he
has 100 customers, each Of whom
contributes 10 per cent Of his pur-
chase toward this fixed charge, and
If the merchant suddenly removes
this 10 per cent from fifty OF them.
the charge on the other fifty must
be doubled. In actual practice it
would be a difficult matter to so ad-
just percentages as to permit the
merchant to come out even on his
deliveries, but it could be done.
Such a situation would undoubt-
eddy hasten the day Of the central
ICED delivery system which many
shrewd observers believe is one of
the rapidly approaching develop
ments Of the retail business.

JUDGED BY YOUR GARBAGE.

Once we had a garbage collector
this was not in Fargo-who was a
philosopher.
He did not despise his calling. but
used 1t as a ladder on which to climb
to the higher realms of thought.
He judged people by their gar
bage.
In confidence. he told us once that
some new neighbors were extrava-
CANT bon vivants.
They certainly have swell gar
bage," he said.
We wonder If his standards have
changed. We like to think of this
humble philosopher commenting on
these possessors of swell garbage"
in this vein: Those folks are GER
tainly not doing their duty by Uncle
Sam and Hoover. saw a slice Of
bread and some spoiled meat in their
garbage this morning"

Paris, July Is. - Carefully shep-

at army headquarters I commenced
my special national holiday by hav-

the eve of his going to the front,
which he told me would be in q very

His ONCE, a spacious room on the
second floor, what the French call
the "estresol," was untenanted for
the moment except by himself. His
charming smile never becomes me-
chanical. A French journalist said
to me than "in that smile the whole
nature of the man is revealed" and

moment of my reception. There was

PATRIOTS AND OTHERS.


Why be mealy-mouthed about it?
In these days there are just two
classes Of citizens, patriots and 9TH
ers. Call them spiritual aliens.
Every day that passes draws the
line more sharply between them.
The day that America entered the
war, pacifsm was changed from a
tenable political theory with very ex-
cellent arguments to support it, to
active disloyalty. The landing of
American soldiers in Europe increas-
ed the degree of that disloyalty.
Every day that the war continues;
every soldier who lands in France;
every man who enlists; every added
responsibility the nation assumes
makes more necessary unalloyed pa
triotism on the part Of those who
stay at home.
America has one big problem be-
fore her that for the moment tram
sends all others-to win the war.
She is committed to the war, and
she must win it. Her war aims are
known. They are unselfishness itself.
She must fight until they are achiev-
3D. Each citizen must make for him
self the decision, whether he will
! help or hinder. There is no mono
poly of patriotism. There is nothing
exclusive about it. 1t is the privilege
of every man and woman, rich or
poor. black or white. old or young to
make his or her patriotism condition
al or unconditional. Fargo has been
more fortunate than many parts of
the country. We have few who might
be classed as spiritual aliens.
But in many ways the work of
hinderlne Uncle Sam goes on, in other
parts of the country.
1t may take the form Of the par
rot-like repetition of the question:
What are we fighting for?"
1t may be in the form of seditious
propaganda though newspapers, Ger
man. American and others.
1t may take the form of the agita-
ton of I. w. w. workers for a gen
eral strike or the comfort given them
by their newspaper organs.
1t may take the form of food
gambling or war profiteering.
1t may take the form of opposing
the sending of troops to Europe.
1t may take the form of the active
agitation of some private propa-
ganda, with the conditional promise:
Il will support the government in the
war when it grants me this.
The law will not reach all of these
spiritual aliens. Public contempt
will, however.
Let US keep this thought clear. Our
own young men, right from Fargo,
our brothers, sons, and good chums,
will soon be facing German bullets.
Some Of them are already in France.
That fact cannot be changed now.
What shall we say Of the soft hand
ed, long haired, paid agitator who
distracts our attention from the bust
ness in hand of supporting those boys
and supplying them with the means
Of fighting our battle?

various sensational forms this vers-
ion of uncomfortable incidents will
be impaired from Prussian sources

Meanwhile the unsensational facts

exercise OF federal power; these
practical demonstrations Of Unity and
determination to support the govern
ment, which reveal the real spirit of
the people, pass uncopsidered. while
the antics of handful of renegades,
magnified by malice and distorted by
ignorance, are put forw Ird as indices

Potatoes. It is reported. are being
sold for October delivery in Canada
for thirty cents a bushel.
That is as great an injustice to the
farmer as selling them at 81 a busheI
is to the consumer.
There is a solution to this prob
lem of wide fluctuations in price.
The Federal reserve board has
decided to class potatoes with nom
perishable products and to redis-
count loans made on the security of
warehouse receipts for potatoes.
This decision ought to place po-
tatoes on much the same basis as
wheat, as far as security is con-
cerned. If the farmer can take his
potatoes to a warehouse, store them
and borrow money on the receipts
to pay his bills, he can afford to
hold them for fair market.
Under this decision, potato ware
houses become as important to a
farming community as grain ele-
Vators.
The Minnesota State Public Safety
commission has already undertaken
to establish such warehouses in st.
Paul and Minneapolis.
1t would be intolerable muddling
If any part of this immense potato
crop were allowed to go to waste be-
cause the price was such that it was
no incentive for the farmer to dig
his potatoes and market them. Clay
county promises to have a tremen-
dous potato crop. The country's crop
as whole is record breaker. There
viii be an ample supply of potatoes
for the entire country at reasonable
prices, and big surplus left over,
If intelligence is shown in handling
the crop.
II we don't have fair prices for
potatoes all next winter, it will be
because we permit food spectators
to get them and destroy part of them
to keep prices up, or because we let
the price drop to a point where il
does not pay to dig them all.
With potatoes approved as bank
security. there is no excuse for
either

In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da-
kota Editors.

The Forum generally finds some.
thing 1t can agree with on the editor.
ial page of the Mandan Pioneer. II
agrees with this editorial about thu
petitions from New Ulm, and hal
said SO:
Petitions are being brought
into North Dakota by residents
Of New Ulm, Minnesota, for sig
natures by the people of this
state. The petitions request the
government not to send any
American troops abroad.
1t may be possible that none Of
these petitions will find their way
into western North Dakota. II any
of them should, however, any
man who will sign them will be
giving aid and comfort to the
enemy just as much as the man
who circulates them.
The more rapidly we can arrive
at the conclusion Of the struggle
the better 1t will be for the peo-
Piles Of the world and for our own
people. The days of reconstruc-
ton can come that much more
rapidly and there will be that
much less drain upon the man
power of this country.
The Park River Herald figures that
rats are always an expensive luxury
for a farmer, but never so much sc
as this year. Here's some good ad-
vice along this line:
Very few people and especially
farmers, have stopped to figure
that the cost of keeping rats and
mice has increased with the other
cost of living. Under normal
grain prices the annual cost Of
having a rat on the premises was
about one dollar for each rat, and
for each mouse from dollar to
two dollars each. Avaunt, rodents!
But the only way to protect grain
is to cement the bottom of the
bins and up along the sides. In
time we will eliminate rats and
mice and when such time comes
we shall also have a healthier and
cleaner community.
The Hannah Moon doesn't leave any
doubt as to where it stands on the I
w. w. question, with this editorial:
After raising cain in Arizona, a
large number of /, w. WIS were
driven out of that state. Now
some leader rises to state that I'M
less these poor fellows are allow
ed to come back home he will
call sympathetic strike of a
quarter million. Oh, what lovely
sentiment! Such outlaws have
no home but Leavenworth. Any
one who rises up on his hind legs
to mix the industries and en-
barrass the government at pres
ent is an outlaw.
The Steele Ozone comments on the
outrageous fluctuations In the price
of potatoes as follows:
The recent slump in the price of
potatoes may surprise some peo-
pie, but 1t was no surprise to
those who are acquainted with
the methods of the spectators.
The producer, the man who works
and sweats to produce the spuds,
is selling his crop now and the
the food pirate, the fat, sleek in
dividual who never did real
lick Of work in his life, is buy
ing potatoes, and so, of course, the
price has been hammered down.
But watch the price rise when
the pirates have gained control
of most OF the spuds in the
country.
