A letter received by the Pioneer

Is right in line with a movement now
being projected for the supplying OF
the "little things for the boys now
in training at Camp Dodge, the ma.
jor portion of the camp being COM
posed Of Minnesota and Dakota draft
ed men. Beltrami county has sent
her first quota to Camp Dodge and
will soon be called upon again to
contribute men for the National

1t has been asked that the folks
back home" assist the boys, in a
modest way at least, to make their
camp grind less burdensome and Mr..
Kaplan in his communication comes
out with the statement that he is
willing to "do his bit" in that direc-
tf0n and also suggests that it be
made GENERAL rising to the oc-

" should be willing to do some
thing to show that the boys who
left here for Camp Dodge are
not forgotten. Without elab-
Grating as to the quality or
quantity of food or other essen
tials that are part of the SOL

those who are left behind at
home should do their duty to
make the burdens of the absent
boys bit more pleasant and
agreeable.
We can help them to some
additional rations of a nature
that would be appreciated, es-
pecially II it was made known

THE IMPORTANCE OF TIN FOR
Use IN PRESENT WORLD WAR

Each day war necessities are edu-
eating people of the United States to
new habits Of thrift. This was pointed
out today by the local manager for the
Standard Oil Company, T. p. Moloney,
when he referred to economies being
made by his company to help conserve
the supply of tin. Heretofore large
quantities OF Pearl oil (kerosene) have
been sold in one ard five-gallon tin
cans. but this practice is being dis
eouraged to save tin. The same Pearl
oil heretofore sold extensively in tins
is carried in bulk by dealers and can
be purchased from them at a small
money saving as well as at a saving
in tin for the nations needs. So inn
portant is this matter of tin conserva-
ton that il is the patriotic duty of
every citizen of this country to con-
serve the supply as far as possible,
and one way of doing this is to buy
kerosene and like commodities in bulk
instead of in tin cans.
