GREAT SCARCITY OF
HOUSES IN HOLLAND
War Has Brought increased Population
To Dutch Cities Without New
Building.
(By Associated Press.l

Amsterdam, Netherlands. June 2s.-
The house hunter in Holland in the
days of the great world-war Of 1917,
is assuredly an object for pity. The
scarcity Of houses for rent at Amster-
dam. The Hauge and other centers has
greatly increased because of wars in
reference with the house building in
dustry and of the influx of foreign
population into the Netherlands. At
The Hauge, for instance, of Belgians
alone there are thousands who have
temporarily settled. The lack is par
ticularly felt in respect of apartments
the Dutch upper house" or lower
housekeeping between 5000 and $500
IN rent.
So keen was the hunt after houses
in Amsterdam recently that high re-
wards were offered for addresses of
houses to let. Races have taken place,
and bribing has been practiced to find
homes. II in the morning a house was
to let, In the afternoon 1t was let. In
the brief meantime 80 or 40 prospec-
tive tenants had rung the bell and
asked to see IL.
The result is that landlords have
become more and more particular, and
their demands have multiplied. A
special law was passed by parliament
to prevent the undue imitation of rents,
so that the natural effect Of the de-
mand has been artifcially prevented.
Certain classes OF houses are unob-
tainable save by purchase, and the pur-
chase prices have risen enormously,
certain houses changing hands rapidly
at an ever-mounting price.

.FRYBURG EDITOR CHARGES
BELFIELD MEN With LIBEL
Gerald p. Nye Claims Defamation of
Character as Result of Publica-
ton Of Article in Times.

Dickinson, N. D., June 2S.-A charge
OF criminal libel has been made against
Dence & Dotterweich, owners Of The
Belfield Times, by Gerald p. Nye, edi-
tor of The Fryburg Pioneer. Attorney
H. r. Mackoff of Belfield will repre-
sent the owners OF The Times, and
Attorney H. A. Burgeson, will appear
for Nye.
Nye, it is said, was arrested last
week on a warrant sworn to by Henry
Larson, assistant cashier OF the Fry
burg bank. An article in The Belfeld
Times, in connection with his arrest,
stated that he had written a sugges-
tive letter to the housemaid who had
been employed at his home, asking her
to make an appointment at an uncon-
ventional time. The letter is alleged to
have been signed with the name Of Mr..
Larson.
Nye denied that the letter was writ
ten with improper intent or that It was
suggestive, as alleged in The Times
story, which he says was highly color
ed in an effort to damage his reputa-
ton.

lected. The twelfth month two pint
bottles of milk were collected from the
delivery wagon of each dealer One
was analysed for bacterial count, fat,
and solids not fat; the other was
scored for flavor and odor, and visible
dirt. The quantity OF visible dirt was
determined by passing the milk
through a sediment tester, collecting
the sediment on a cotton disk.
Must Contain Under 500 Bacteria.
In order. to score 35 points in bac-
terra the milk sample must contain
under 500 bacteria per cubic cent?
meter. A competent judge scored the
sample for flavor and odor; Is points
were awarded when the flavor and
odor were considered satisfactory.
The sample of milk free from sediment
received a score Of ten, the cut de-
pending on the quantity of sediment
present. Milk containing four per cent
or more of fat was given ten points,
and samples containing less were cut
in proportion to their fat content.
Samples containing 81 or more OF sol
ids not fat received ten points and
were cut when below that quantity.
When the sample showed the tempera-
ture on the load was below so degrees
F. 1t was awarded five points and re-
ceived a cut when above that tenn
perature at time of collection. In order
to obtain five points for bottle and cap
the bottle must be clean free from
fiaky glass, and the mouth completely
covered with a cap which protects the
pouring lip.
Take Years Average.
To ascertain the figure taken to
the quality Of milk supplied
by each dealer the average bacterial
count of the years samples was de-
termined. The average was given a
number of points out of 35 which such
!. count was allowed on the milk score
card. The fat and the solids not fat
were likewise averaged. The flavor
md odor score, sediment and bottle
and cap scores given by the judge were
added and likewise the temperature
score.
Classify BY Score.
In reporting the respective standings
If the various dealers, they were class
fed according to their scores. Those
iealers whose milk scored between rs
Ind 80 were put in the same class;
likewise dealers scoring between 80
md IS, or IS and 80. were classified
ogether.
1t was not deemed wise to report the
scores to a tenth of a point. For all
PRACTICAL purposes milk supplied by
dealers within viewpoint classical
ion is on a. par so far as the compare |
i've quality of the product Of each Is
BY collecting samples from the de- |
livery wagons and dealers the quality |
# milk actually delivered to the con- !
Iumers is determined. The publication |
# the standing of each dealer in the
contest gives the consumer a definite |
Indication as to the quality of milk |
which his dealer is supplying. For |
business reasons dealers become anx- |
Gus to produce milk Of high quality |
such contest is valuable in raising |
he standard of milk supplied to the |
ntire city.

USE MATERIAL OF
RUINED CITIES
Hundreds of Miles of New
Macadam Road Made
From Stone

Behind the British lines in France
June 2S.-Hundreds Of miles Of the
smooth white macadam roads of north
ern France will remain for many years
after the war as real memorial to
the devastated towns which the Ger
mans left in ruins after retreat this
spring.
All over northern France the roads
are being widened and resurfaced with
stone and rubble taken from the
wrecked houses Of Peronne. Albert, Ar
ras, and countless other ruined towns
and villages. AS fast as the British
soldiers clear away the debris of the
towns, it is piled into lorries and dis
tributed in heaps along the main
roads. There German prisoners toll
the day long pounding 1t into level
patches which the great steam rollers,
many of them bearing familiar Amer
lean names, grind quickly into smooth
macadam for the business of transport.
The brick and stone Of these old
buildings makes as good road material
as could be obtained anywhere, and
the work Of the German dynamiter has
been so thorough that much of 1t is
crushed fine enough to need no fur
Their preparation.
The roads OF northern France were
always excellent, but they were never
better than today. The only complaint
travellers had against them in the old
days was that the paved strip in the
center was too narrow. That COM
plant cannot be made after the Brit
ish highway plans have been COM
pleted, for all the main highways will
be macadamed to a width permitting
three broad-gauge lorries to run
abreast, and even the byways will have
a paved surface wide enough to allow
traffic to pass easilySat any point.
Excessive business is the only fault
Of the RAIDS today, for war economics
will not permit the use Of precious oil
on roadways.
There is little need anywhere in this
district for Strengthening roads or al
tering routes. because the roads Of
northern France mostly run straight
as an arrows fight. Most Of the great
highways were laid out in Napoleon's
time by military surveyors, and their
strategic value and importance has al
ways been kept primarily in mind by
the French government.

Yieldof71OOOOOOO.|
Bushels of Wheat
Harvest Forecast
Now Estimated That 100000 Bushels Can be Spared
Allies-John Ingis' Figures Believed Good Baron
eter of the Amer lean Production


Minneapolis, June 2s.-An estimate
OF the probable winter wheat yield
this season, by John Inglis, the vet
eran crop reporter, is of unusual in
terest. Mr.. Inglis estimated the prob
able yield of winter wheat at 49,
100000 bushels, compared with 4g1,-
100000 harvested last season. Mr..
lngles' estimate for Kansas is 20. 900, :
UVO, compared with the government
estlmate OF 10000, 900, based on May
! conditions; Nebraska is placed at
100000, compared, with the govern
ment estimate of 100000. In his re-
port Mr.. Inglis says: THE historical
announcement made in April of the
enormous loss in acreage, together
with the extraordinarily low condi-
ton, not only startled the country but
made such bad impression that it Is
now difficult to eradicate from the
public mind the early prejudice.
Almost without exception private
Gated material improvement in the
condition of the winter wheat crop.
Therefore the thoughtful members of
the grain trade were not unprepared
for large increase above the govern
ment estimate, which, by the way, has
at no time been accepted as anywhere
nearly representing actual conditions.
639,00OJOOO Bushels Last Year.
Last year the total wheat crop of
the country was 639,000,00O bushels.
The low total was due to a. crop fail
ure in the important spring wheat
states. The total spring wheat yield
was estimated by the government at
15S,G00,000 bushels, which was less
than half of the phenomenal crop of
1915. Under favorable conditions,
owing to the big acreage in spring
wheat this season, the crop might be
300, 100000 bushels. Slow rains In a.
few sections all spring in northern
North Dakota and northwestern Min
nesota and some unfavorable con-
ditions in Montana, have left doubt Of
that total being reached.

MILK CONTESTS
BOOST BETTER
QUALITY MILK
Simple Competitive System
Urged by Department
of Agriculture
GIVE PRIZES FOR
HIGHEST SCORES
Plan Includes Taking "Sur-
prise" Samples Each
Month for Year

Washington, d. c., June 27.-Much
interest on the part of both the milk
producer and the consumer in cities in
the quality of the local milk supply
can be aroused by the city milk con-
test where surprise samples are
taken. Such a city milk contest, in
Baltimore, was first held by, the dairy
division Of the United. States depart
ment Of agriculture in 1911. It has
been adopted since in many other
cities, especially on the Pacific coast
The city milk contest advertises
those diaries which obtain high scores
as to the quality Of their milk, and re-
suits in the lettering of the supply for
the entire city. frequently prizes are
given by boards of trade or like organ
izations to those dairymen who win
the highest scores in such contests.
The method Of conducting such a
city milk contest as used in Greenville,
s. c., is typical. Milk samples were
collected In the streets from each
dealer each month for year. One
dairy which delivered 100000 quarts of
milk during the year was awarded an
average score of 95. Another, which
score OF 8S.5. A third, which deliv-
cred 10000 quarts had an average
score of 81 The women's club of the
city presented the owner OF each OF
the three diaries with loving cup in
recognition of the excellent quality of
the milk furnished to consumers.
Use Milk Score Card.
In that contest the grading OF the
milk was determined by means of the
milk score card. which allows 35 points
for bacteria, % for flavor and odor,
ten for visible dirt ten for fat, ten for
solids not fat, five for temperature,
and five for the appearance of bottle
and cap, making a total of 100 points.
In conducting a city milk contest,
dealers are classified according to the
kind of milk they handle, as certified,
raw, or pasteurized milk. Once each
month for IL months, or oftener If de-
sired, pint of milk was collected from
the delivery wagon of each dealer. The
bacterial count, fat, and solids not fat
content Of each Of the samples were
determined in the laboratory. The
temperature of the milk on the load
was taken when the samples were col
