The duties of the War Council are
outlined in the letter sent out to the
members of which the following is
a copy:
July 18th, 1917.
Dear Sir:
I have been appointed, by the
State Council of defense, Chairman
of the Abbeville County Council of
Defense, and I am authorized at
once to appoint members of the
council from the several townships
of this county. The first name men
toned in each township will be the
chairman of the township. He is re-
quested to call the other members
of the township council together and
get in touch with the people, getting
as many citizens in each township as
possible to agree to become joint
workers with you in your work. The
more members of each township
council we can get the better pre-
pared we will be to deal with the
questions which are presented to us.
The following is an outline of some
of the work we will be expected to
do:
The most important work immedi-
ately before the Council of Defense
is the informing and arousing of our
people as to the situation which the
war has thrust upon US. An efficient
and promptly successful prosecution
of the war will he impossible unless
the whole nation stands solidly behind
the government, each doing his pro-
per part for the success of military
operations. To that end we wish
you to secure the support of all
available agencies and as promptly
as possible, in cooperation with the
County Council of Defense, put on
a campaign in your township which
will reach all of your people.
The cooperation of every minis
ter of the gospel will be necessary
and we'll informed speakers should
frequently be delegated to attend
church services, and with the per-
mission of the ministers, have a few
words to say on the National situa-
ton at the end of the service.
When the schools reopen the same
program should be followed there.
We suggest that speakers be secured
to make short talks during inter-
missions, at public gatherings, and
other places where people congre-
gate.
The Council of Defense will be
used as the mouthpiece of the gov
eminent and the informant of the
government as to the state of af-
fairs in the country. Please, there
fore, in selecting the members of
your Council and your speakers have
an eye single to the efficiency of the
service we are expected to perform.
Select only men and women who
can and will cheerfully give efficient
service.
There will, from time to time, be
assigned special work of the Council
of Defense in addition to the work
they are expected to carry on con-
tinuously.
We are expected to keep constant
ly before the people the necessity of
producing the greatest amount OF
tfoodstuffs and of consuming as
small amounts as practicable.
We are expected to aid in recruit
ing the army.
All agencies working in behalf OF
the nation will be expected to CO.
o~perate their activities with ours.
Further issues of government
bonds will probably be made and the
Council of Defense will actively CO.
operate in placing the next issue, as
we'll as in securing further funds
for the Red Cross and other Nation
al purposes when called upon to do
so.

Representative William P. Borland
of Missouri in the house of represent
tatives and Senator William E. Borah
of Idaho in the senate are expected to
lead the fight against the present high
prices Of food, with the charge that
there is universal conviction that food
prices are the subject of widespread
manipulation.
Congress cannot adjourn" Borah
said, $50 long as it is possible for US
to be of any service in this deplorable
situation.
"'We want bread' was the cry OF
the French revolutionists as they
marched to Versailles. 1t is the most;
ominous cry that can be heard in 8
republic, and whatever is said as to
the effect of the war on prices, the
fact remains these people are in large
measure the victims of spectators
and combinations which are nilching
millions out Of food.
"There is at the bottom of things
no justification for this condition.
Congress cannot ignore the cries of
the hungry. The situation must be
met at once"
"The question is not partisan" said
Mr.. Borland GOOD riots are a dis
grace that will turn the attention Of
congress to some constructive legis-
lation for remedy. What we want is
an investigation that will fix the re-
sponsibility for present conditions,
not mere collection of statistics"

COST OF HOTBED.
Most of the materials for the construction Of the hobed
already hand easily procurabe North Dakota
farm school ground The materials for two
sash hotbed convenient size as follows:
storm sashes from farm school house windows
pit two feet deep and little larger than frame.
2 to loads fresh horse manure

2x4 stakes to support frame

CONSTRUCTION. 7a-s 'a@
The construction of the hotbed is exceedingly simple and
itself the Of quite variety Of lumber materials
Probably the simplest and most satisfactory uses
frame with walls of inch plank although walls OF inch
boards either single double with dead air are used
and practical under suitable conditions.
During the Of 1915 the Mnot State Normal School
hobeds with double walls when the temperature fell
much below But after the temperature ceased falling
below the single wall frames found to be sufficient
if covered at night.
FRAMES
The frames should be built with 2x2 plank the north
WALL and 2x6 plank the south wall. These two walls
should be far enough apart that the two sases laid from
north south will just them from outside to outside

by the outside edges of the two sashes laid side by side

be set in frame which holds them rigid This is i'm
