OF TRAINING
Lad Raised Refund Slip
His Court Record is
Unique.

Fargo, N. D.. May 30.-Little Matt
hew Usatucky on of q Russian farm
{er living near Max, N. D., wanted to
buy cOlored crayon and other things
that he saw in q great Big catalogue
which had been sent to his home from
q Chicago mail order house. He
dreamed Of sending for the pencils
dren of tho school he attended. Little
Matthew was to be the lion Of the
school.
But the little schoolhouse In which
he was to share his gifts was the
. OF his arrest. On May 10 a Uni
ted States marshal arrested the 12-
year-old boy after he had been in
dicted by the federal grand jury on
the charge Of using the mails to de-
fraud. in raising a mail order refund
slip. probably the first cas- Of its
kind In North Dakota and the north
west Matthew was brought to Far

don OF the federal court and was or
dered to be committed to serve q

The Judge in passing sentence and
selecting the national training school
for the youngster, believed that he

vantage in view Of the fact that the
parents paid no attention to the ar
rest nor offered to give to the lad any
counsel when the arraignment was
made. However, friends Of the father
persuaded him to act and he sought
to trace the boy to Minot but learned
he had been taken to Bismarck and
then to Fargo. Then he came to
Fargo and through an interpreter and
his attorney made a motion for a writ
OF habeas corpus to get possession of
his boy.
Arguments on the motion for the
application were heard before Judge
Amtdon Monday with the result that
the judge vacated the order and re-
called the commitment, and the plea
of guilty which the young man had
made was withdrawn and instead he
pleaded not guilty. Bond was fixed
at $500 and the lad was turned over
to his father to await trial at the
next term of federal court to be held
at Bismarck.
When young Matthew appeared be-
fore Judge Amidon on May II, he
admitted raising q refund slip from
6 cents to $7.s6. In vacating the or

Amidon told the father he was living
in the United States and not Russia

of this land would be legal in regard

MENUS
MAYBESLASHED
Food Conservation Will be
Issue at Convention of
Hotel Men.

Fargo, N. D., May Instrumentation
of food by minimizing waste during
h war period will be one Of the big
problems to be worked out at the
annual convention Of the Northwest
ern Hotelmen's association to be held
In h opinion Of Fargo hotel men,
Prior to this convention, members
of the North Dakota Hotelmen's as
ISOLATION will be called into session to |
suggest 2 cooperative effort to con-
serve and to make such recommends.
tons. -.
It is believed the public is now in
a mood to respond periodically to an
educational campaign conducted by
the hotel owners and to view SYM
pathetically a curtailment Of the UNI
necessarily large menus of big hotels,
which result in Immense waste in the |
aggregate. |
James Wood, manager Of the Hotel
St Frances. Union Square, San Fran
cisco. asking for opinions from the
hotel men, says:
fact that this country Is VIGOROUSLY
improvident. particularly in the
slaughter of young animals for the
market" writes Wood. I'm view of
tho decrease in American livestock
and the intelligent methods employed
by other nations, even in peace, to
develop steady and ample food sup
plies at fair prices, this is q reproach
at any time: but during the present
conditions persistence in wanton ex
travagance is little short Of national
Disgrace"
Wood is of the opinion that the
hotels can educate the public by ask
ing their patriotic cooperation not
to eat meat Of immature animals, and
can promote a sentiment for national
legislation on the subject. Argentina,
by ~forbidding the killing Of male
calves under one year Of age or fe-
males under five years, had immensely
increased herds.
As to mutton, il lambs were not
killed at about 20 pounds as is often
done in the east or so pounds in the
west. but were allowed to reach the
age Of one year. they would approx
mate Is to so pounds and the fleece
8 to 10 pounds
Government action may also be
needed to avert a poultry and egg
famine due to unusual marketing II
young birds by poultrymen. who do
not wish to continue feeding them at
the extraordinary prices of grains and
food stuffs.
Acting along the lines Of conserving
waste, 1t has been suggested to hotel
men to u down the number Of dishes
materially, feature steaks and beef
roasts, pot coast and soup, advising
against the consumption Of meat of
young animals; M where sea food or
lake food is plentiful, provide fish
dishes in great variety, and where
vegetables and fruit abound, urge and
encourage their enjoyment by numer-
Gus appetiz!ng examples on the bill.

LARGER CROPS
ARE PREDICTED
Increased Acreage this Sea-
son will Result in Increase
of all Grain But Wheat.

Fargo, N. D., May so.-The greater
aoreaEe Of grain in North Dakota this
year will result in increased produce
don of oats, barley, corn, rye and
potatoes but the wheat production for
the state will not show any material
increase, oven II the state produces
IN average normal crop.
A survey Of the crop situation COM
plstsd hero indicates that estimates
Of q 1ve per cent decrease in the total
wheat acreage Of the state is sub
stantdally correct. Based on an aver
age production Of LOO, 000, 900 bushels
Of wheat a year. tho decreased acre
900 bushels in the total production.
Throughout the eastern part Of the
state there is just now q demand for
rain, though crops are not sugering
in any manner. The cool weather that
has prevailed for some time past, has
given the early sown grain an oppor-
tunity to become thorough yrootsd.
and fortfes It to Withstand tests to
which It mas be subjected. x
Tho rain Of Monday night and
Tuesday morning seems to have cen
tered about the western and central
section Of the state. At some points 1t
was very heavy, and will go a long
way toward supplying the moisture
required for termination OF late sown
000Os LII 0OH0 Ol0Ll1CI0p lhI0 SOWH
SEED has moi terminated because OF
the lack Of moisture. and it will re-
, qufre q drenching rain to start the
grain.
Seeding operations still are under
way in many sections Of the state.
Corn and FAX are still being put in,
and the operation will continue for
several days. Tho statewide drive for
greater production Of foodatuffs is
responsible for the advancement of
seeding operations at this time.
It IL probable that this years crop
has been seeded in much better con-
dition than usual. The high price of
reed, coupled with the prospects for
material rewards for the farmers who
produce q real crop, have combined
to convince the farm owners that
they should put their grain in in the
best possible condition.
II rainfall IL received during the
coming week Or ten days. it may be
truly said that the spring outlook
couldn't be improved on. "

scription or the selective draft as a
fortunate omen of Cuba'c loyalty and
her national integrity at a time when
the attitude of President MenOcal has
determined Cuba S leadership in war
policies throughout Latin America.
Recent action of Cubans in raising
nearly 100000 for the second Lib
erty Loan; the action of the United
States treasury in taking half the Gu
ban war bond issue of $30,000,O00, and
progress made by the Council of Ma
tional Defense under General Men
ocals direction have so unified senti-
ment throughout the insular republic
that Cuba's strong position, both po-
litically and commercially is expected
to find expression in an ambitious pro
grom of legislation which will serve as
guide to other Latin-American allies
in the months to come. Members of
/ the diplomatic corps and their at
taches will view the proceedings in
the senate chamber, and public inter
est is at its height.
AT the last session in July the port
folio of Minister of War and Navy
was created, and Major General Jose

voluntary enlistment was insufficient.
AS had happened in all parts of the
world when it was necessary to en-
large the service, so in England and
the United States, a complete change
in the tradition and the custom was
obligated. In our republic voluntary
enlistment always encountered more
obstacles than in these great nations.

Ommend to the honorable congress the
immediate adoption of the only means
by which we will be able to overcome
the difficulties quickly-the impOsi-
ton OF obligatory military service,
based on system of selection as was
recently instituted in the United
States.
President Menocal adds that oblig-
atory military service in Cuba will
prove to be "a grand school of social
discipline. 1t makes a citizen under
stand and feel from the first years of
youth his obligations to his country,
and makes him respect the law not
by the imposition of force, but by the
consciousness of duty. Our people
| will surely sympathize with this new
system" General Menocal says, for
which they will prepare, as being of
the most ardent patriotism and tradi-
tiOnal spirit OF sacrifice"
In addition to increasing the Cuban
army and navy, the congress is eX-
pected to discuss the wisdom of an
amnety measure and a parliament
airy form of government.
