The English Prime Minister, Lloyd
George, has been attacked in the
English Parliament for his Paris
speech, criticising the conduct Of
the war and urging a closer union
Of the allies. He has succeeded thus
far in holding his ground and has
given good reason for his position.
He admits q desire 10 stir things up
and thinks he has succeeded quite
well.

Everything that is done. every rule
that is made, every plea Cor co.onera-
ton, every statement regarding food
conditions, is based on accurate
knowledge of the food situation. Il
is probable that never in the worlds
history has there reen gathered to-
gether in one place such a wealth of
information regarding every detail of
the food supply and the food needs of
the world as is now in the hands of
H. c. Hoover, United States food adj
ministrator.
The food administration DR.. Ladd
said,' can do great deal toward safe
guarding the food supply Of the Amer
lean people through the strict regu-
latory measures it has adopted. It
can say to the speculator, hands off
the peoples food. There will be no
profiteering. 1t can say to the selfish
food hoarder, This nuch you shall
have and no more
But to insure an adequate supp,y.
Of food for American soldiers, for
Americas associates in the war and
at least little for the starving mil
lions of the old world, the voluntary
cooperation of all the people of the
United States must be forthcoming.
"ln this great national crisis, in
this world emergency, appeal to the
loyalty and patriotism of the people Of
North Dakota, confident of their quick
perception of the situation, assured
that there will be ready and intelli-
gent response. -
| During the year 1918, or at least
until the next harvest, you are asked
to observe the wheatless and meatless
days, to do everything you can to
eliminate waste and to use substitutes
wherever and whenever possible for
wheat, meats, fats and sugar"

Coops for the big poultry show to
be held in Bismarck have been re-
ceived, direct from the Chicago show,
and this practically completes all ar
rangements for the big event. Last
year the Association used homemade
coops, but found it very inconvenient
and unsatisfactory. The coops Sc
cured are the famous Keipper coops,
and will present a fine appearance.
The coops will be erected several days
before the show, so that birds can
be placed in them Immediately upon
their arrival, instead of having to re-
main in boxes several hours, as in
the past.
Lively Interest
Competition in several classes prom.
Uses to be keen and the interest now
manifested assures splendid exhib.
it. The exhibit of Barred Plymouth
Rocks will be the best that has ever
been shown west of Chicago, and the
quality will equal any show in the
United States. If you have never seen
a mammoth display of Barred Rocks,
by all means see this display. Other
varieties will be we'll represented.
White Leghorns will present one of
the finest classes, and competition will
be, strong Practically every variety
will be Representatives, Of rare
beauty, large ones, small ones, and
varieties that you never saw before.
Lots OF Corn
The exhibits Of corn will open the
eyes OF. many visitors, who are not
aware that North Dakota can produce
such excellent specimens. Many ex.
hibits will come from Morton county
and the North branch. ..,

great primary objects, DR.. E. F. Ladd,
state food administrator for North d.
kota declared today in a statement to
the Associated Press addressed to the
people of North Dakota in which he
appeals to the loyalty and patriotism
Of the people of the state to do every

These two Objects DR.. Ladd said
were: ..@ b.
'To safeguard the food supply of
the American people, and "to insure
an adequate supply of food for the
American soldiers at home and
abroad. ..@ .''
There are, however, other objec,
tives,' Dr.. Ladd continued. "Of al
most equal Importance is the effort to
supply sufficient food for the armies
and the peoples of the nations asso-
ciated with the United States in the
