DAKOTANS TOO
PLUTOCRATIC

Food habits must be controlled.
Despite repeated requests from the
North Dakota food administration,
residents of the state are not con-
serving. Prosperous North Dakota is
having a hard time to conserve what
in years heretofore has been plenti-
full.
The state food administration
through DR.. E. F. Ladd has sifted
the true state of affairs down to two
heads under which they will work;
namely, food regulation by control
ling the retail food supply, and food
saving by the people themselves.
The federal food administrator ad-
vises that 1t is under the second head
that most of the food is wasted. 1t
has been found that the people are
not saving the food to as great an
extent as they should. They are liv-
ing in the present with no compre-
hension Of what matters will come to
soon with a duration of the war
draining on the resources of the land.
Information is going to be sent to
the press and educators of the state
in order that the food conservation
rules may reach a greater number of
the people. The teachers of the state
will receive their information
through the county superintendents
and this will be communicated to the
children. The clergy Of the state is
also to assist the administration. as
well as the different fraternal or
CARNATIONS which are not to escape
the eagle eye OF the food admini-
stration.

Call For 10000 Workers.
Reports now at hand indicate an
impending call for not less than $780,
600 skilled workers of many classes,
involving over 80 mechanical trades,
to serve In the various shipyards en-
gagged in constructing vessels for the
shipping board. To secure the work
ers necessary a centralized employ
ment system is highly desirable IL not
absolutely essential. Consequently 1t
has become necessary to establish
several additional war emergency Of
fees OF the United States employ
ment service and to employ travelling
field workers and agents to locate
qualified workers for the yards.
'The extraordinary demand for
man power on the Industrial as
distinguished from the military side
Of war preparations was responded to
by the department through its u. s.
employment service as soon as the
demand arose. Much of the demand
was found to have been influenced
more by eagerness for labor at low
or inadequate wages relatively to the
sharp rise in living expenses than by
general labor shortage. But in some
places, especially in the neighbor-
hoods of munition establishments
which had been serving European
war demands at enormous profits,
there was genuine scarcity of labor
for less profitable forms OF produc-
ton. On the whole, the problem at
first probably was less a problem of
labor scarcity than Of imperfect dis
tribution."
