TWO WHEATLESS DAYS A
WEEK MAY Be NESCESSARY
State Food Administrator Bicknell Makes Sug
gestion When He Learns That 1OO,OOO,0O0
Bushels Must be Released in 90 Days

Wheat to the extent of 100 O,0O0,-
600 bushels must be released for
shipment during the next 80 days,
according to an announcement of
Herbert Hoover, head of the United
States food administration, and the
consequent necessity for substitu-
tion, that this vast amount may be
provided, has caused r. f. Bicknell,
food administrator for Idaho, to
make strong appeal that this states
people accept their share of the bur
den.
Mr.. Bicknell announced last Satur-
day that, no matter what the cost,
people must conserve the wheat, and
he believed the best way to assure 1t
was the adoption in homes OF two
wheatless days each week.
Don't You Get the Point?
Many people," said Mr.. Bicknell
Saturday, have evidently entirely
missed the idea Of food conservation
aims and the necessity therefor, and
THIS IS surprising to me, in view of
the liberality of the papers in accord
ing me space for the food administra-
tion campaign and the great lengths
to which | have gone to have person
al appeals made concerning all mat
ters in relation thereto.
Nevertheless, am continually be-
sieged with complaints about the
price Of cornmeal as compared with
the price of -four. The food admins
tration is not concerned, in the first
stance, with the price of substitutes
suggested by 1t, although in due
course it win see to it that such prices
are reasonable.
No Matter What the Cost.
Too many people fail to get the
meal must be substituted have
been wondering what prices some
people would put upon human life,
and. in brief, any woman who re-
fuses to obey her country's injunc-
tion because she can not do it with
out some expense, would, 1t seems to

The Fargo board of education in SEES
sion Wednesday evening let contracts
in the sum of $108, 101.20 for the erec-
ton and furnishing of the Fifth ward
school for Fargo.
Successful bidders were Stewart
Wilson, who was awarded the general
contract at $4,000; T. p. Riley, plumb
ing, electrical fixtures and heating, in
Guiding vacuum cleaning system, at
$34,997; Westberg & Jacobsen, wood
work at $1,915, and Carlisle & Bristol,
the hardware, at $1,199.20. The bid Of
Stewart Wilson on the general contract
does not include q gymnasium, which
would cost approximately 10000. Only
the general construction contract will
be signed at this time, others to be
signed later.
Levy Into Building Fund.
Early estimates placed on the con-
struction OF a building in the Fifth
ward gave figures in the nighborhood
of $4,000. Efforts were made by mem
bers Of the board of education to trim
ferent contracts to get within this goal,
but met with failure. Both President
Ladd of the board Of education, and
Attorney Frame stated that it would
be folly to build too small a building
and that the future must be taken into
consideration. For this reason 1t will
be necessary to levy for the building
fund to the extent of about 100000.
In voting unanimously to accept the
bid of Contractor Stewart Wilson, the
board went on record that it reserved
the right to specify whether gypsum
or clay tile should be used in the
construction and that the difference in
price would be to the benefit Of the
board. 1t was further conditioned in
awarding the plumbing, lighting and
heating contract that the board has
the privilege of eliminating the vacuum
cleaning system.
Architects Before Board.
Architects Haxby & Braseth both
appeared before the board and explain
ed the difference in the bids and the
materials to be used in the construc-
ton of the building. Architect Haxby
stated that clay tile would in every
way serve as good a purpose as
gypsum tile and would be about
500 saving to the district. This phase
of the situation together with the
vacuum cleaning system was discussed
at meeting of the building commit
tee held this afternoon at the Office of
Maj. M. F. Steele. The bid Of T. p.
Riley included the vacuum system,
which, if excluded, would be another
saving of approximately $500.
