FARMERS ENJOYING WAR
PROFITS. SAYS KENIST ON
Secretary of Bismarck Commercial
Club Speaks at Carson on Sub
foct Of Liberty Bond

Carson, N. D.. Oct. 26.-"Every
farmer is enjoying war profits just
exactly as much as the munition max
err. while only a few of them pay q
war profit" Sec. g. N. Remission. of the
Bismarck Commercial club, informed
his farmer audience in q Liberty Loan
address here.
What a splendid thing for the
credit of every farmer in the Dakotas
IL every dollar over 81 for wheat, 8
cents for pork, cents for beef, 80
cents for oats and 40 cents for corn
were invested in Liberty bonds! Stop
and consider the financial standing
this investment would give. you! A
more patriotic act could not be per-
formed, nor could the farmer do any
thing which would show better bust
ness judgment. A Liberty bond is q
good piece of property for the wage
Garner, for the merchant, the farmer
or the banker. 1t Is good property for
every American citizen who has a sin
gle drop of good, red American blood
lowing in his veins"

from q mountain hamlet some sixty
miles away who picked the banjo for
some raggy numbers then swung into
Dixie, at the same time turning on
a hashlight behind the banjo head to
illuminate an American flag pasted
on the sheepslin, created a furore.
The whole affair, with the single
exception of the boys in khaki, might
have been a page taken out OF the
daily life of the south Of years ago.

the North Dakota boys.

affair in complimenting Director Nc

night contained the feature suite

Nat To Oman Thia Fall

Net To Open This Fall.
The news may be somewhat Of a
surprise to some of the stockholders
for the reason that we understand
there were some rumors stating that
the plant would be in operation this
fall" said one OF the officers. This
was erroneous even though 1t was
the good intention Of the stockhold-
ers to hold their stock for shipment
to their own market. The company,
upon investigating the time of con-
struction OF q plant Of the size Of the
Equity Cooperative packing plant,
and receiving deliveries of equip
ment, found that IL would take at
least one year from the time that
the general contract was let.
These conditions are due to the
abnormal conditions that exist. in
the country and for any special favors
that are granted in the way Of de-
liveries Of equipment. ETC., It IL
necessary to pay a premium ranging
from IS to 80 per cent in addition.
This would not be advisable for the
reason that in the first place IL would
not be a good business proposition.
On the other hand some of the ma
terials could not be gotten any ear
lier than contracted for even though
Ine company "Ouiu DS "llllIlb "
pay double the amount Of cost.
Conditions Not Alarming.
According to recent statistics re-
garding the livestock situation, the
farmers need not be alarmed that
there will be any rapid declines
other than the usual fluctuations
that exist yearly. In the last four
years there has been an increase of
over 1000, 900 head of cattle, but a
shortage OF almost one and one-half
million hogs, and the demand for the
meat products has been more than
normal. which has created the enor-
nous prices that have been paid for
livestock, especially hogs.

Measles, very light cases, broke

him for 10.
A private fessed up.
well sir, do you see those scraps
of food? Don't you realize that they
win rot and breed flies and disease?
Clean 'em up"
The boys of the North Dakota
regiment take pride in the fact that
they have the best kept. cleanest and
most orderly regimental quarters in
all Of Camp Greene. Sanitation Is
the particular thing which Colonel
Frame insists upon. and If care to
remove all refuse, daily inspection OF
camp, latrines and bath houses can
prevent disease. there will be no
sickness in the 164th.
The camp is inspected four or Ave
times daily. Lieut.. Col. @. 9. Graf
ton makes 1t a part of his duty to
each day look over company streets,
incinerators, toilets and bath houses.
Colonel Frame does the same when
ever he has an opportunity. A detail
of men from the hospital corps also
has this as part Of their work. DR..
e. M. Schultz, a physician attached
to the 164th Medical corps, also in
spects daily, while an inspector from
division headquarters makes the
rounds two or three times each
week.
Kitchen police is a detail which
the boys hate like sin. However. each
day a number Of men. depending on
the size OF the company are assigned
to keep kitchens clean, scraps and
refuse picked UP and burned or
hauled away, and to aid in nrepar-
ing meals. The cook who has a dirty
or mussy or unsystematized kitchen
is in for real calling down by some
one, and Il lie just as liable to be

Men must sweep out their tents
daily and keep them in order, blank

Ground and the company street in
front or around each squad tent is

must show no trace Of paper, cigaret
