AN OUNCE OF MEAT
"Nany a Nickle Makes a MuCkle"

An ounce of edible moat--lean meat
fat and lean, suet or fat trimmed from.
steak, chop, or roast---seems hardly.
worth saving.
Many households take just this
view OF the matter-do not trouble tc
put such an insignificant scrap into
the ice box or soup pot--do not bother
to save for cookery spoonful or two
Of drippings or a tiny bit of suet or
fat.
Yet il every one Of our 20,000000
American families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce of
edible meat or fat it means q daily
waste Of 100000 pounds Of animal
food-45G,OoO00O pounds Of valuable
animal food year.
At average dressed weights, It
would take the gross weight Of over
$4,000 steers. or over 2 100000 hogs
bones and ALTO provide this
weight Of meat or fat for each gar
bage pail or kitchen sink. If the
bones butchers waste are eliminated,
these figures would be increased to
l.150,00O cattle and 100000 hogs.
Or. again, if the waste were dis
tributed according to the per capita
consumption Of the various meats tex
cluding bones), il would use up a com
bined herd Of over 53S,000 beef an
imals, 29l 900 calves. over 625000
sheep and lambs, and over 2,l32000
hogs.
Millions Of tons Of feed and hay, the
grass from vast pastures, and the
labor Of armies Of cattlemen and
butchers also would be scrapped by
this meat-waste route
But every household doesn't waste
an ounce Of meat or fat every day ?
Very well; make it one out Of hum
dred families, but keep in mind that
all meat allowed to spoil and all meat
and fat rendered inedible by improper
cooking, scorching, or burning must
be counted as waste. Make il an
ounce every other day or one month.
Such waste still would be uncomfortable
when meat is scarce and when fat is of
such vital Importance 10 many ma
tions.
Waste Of meat or fat is inexcusable.
Every bit Of lean meat can be used in
soups, stews, or in combination with
cereals; every bit Of drippings and
gravy can be saved so easily and used
to add flavor and nourishment TO other
dishes.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, d. c., or
your State agricultural college will
tell you how TO use bits Of meat to
make appetizing and nutritious dishes
and how to use leftover fat in cook

THE DUTY OF A PATRIOT
By Francis +. Clark, President United
Society of Christian Endeavor

1t seems TO me patriotic duty for
everyone who can assist our govern
ment and the world in these critical
days by subscribing, so far as they
may be able, to the Liberty Loan.
any of us, who cannot and ought not
to go to the front, can do something
along this line, even though it seems
ever so little in comparison with the
billions that are required. But "many
nickle makes muckle," and every
consideration Of patriotism will lead
US to do what we can.

-Four Ring Leaders
Arrested By U. S.
Leaders of Munich Raid Held
Under u. S. Court Order
Iu Grand Forks Jail

Four of the eight men who have
been held in the county Jail since
Sheriff Thompson's raid on an aggre.
cation of l. w. WIS. encamped along
the railroad in the outskirts of Mu-
mich, were removed Monda y to Grand
Forks. Papers were received by the
sheriff last Thursday from the office
of the United States marshal de-
mandipg the turning over of the four
ring leaders to the fedora authorities.
A deputy marshal came on Mon day. 8
train and accompanied the men to
Grand Forks, where a preliminary
hearing will be had this week al.
though their trial in court. if held,
will not take place until the Novem.
ber term.
Eight men in all were brought over
from Munich when the raid was made
but the examination made by States
Attorney Crimson resulted in the
United States court ordering the dis.
charge of four and the holding of the
four self-acknowledged leaders. Ev.
idence gathered at Munich showed
that the I. w. w. ring leaders had
become so threatening to harvest and
threshing men who had come there to
work that many of them did not dare
to come into Munich to seek work
when confronted by the band of labor
agitators who were camped on the
outskirts of the town near the Great
Northern stockyard. The leaders of
the gang met the men when they
stepped off the train at the depot
platform and told them to "stick"
for 81. 90 per day or more. or they
would make it tough for them, the
threat-fn many instances being bodi.
ly violence. Openly on the streets
of Munich they were heard to say
"They didn't have to work for SIS
day." One of the leaders in fact
going SO far as to say, 81 don't care
if don't do days work in fifty
years. The world owes me living
the same as it does the bankers and
capitalists who don't work. l don't
have to work.
Reports had been received in Lang.
don that the gang at Munich had
started fires in hay stacks, grain
fields and threatened to burn farm
buildings to the ground, but the only
sabotag" committed in that locality
was the raid the men made on the
potato patch of the railroad section
!. boss. and as Munich people phio-
sophically put it they almost have to
use some potatoes, even If they don't
do days work in fifty years.

Draft Board Calls
Another $50 Men
Exemption Claims of Twenty
Five Married Dependents.
Were Turned Down

AT q meeting held Tuesday evening
at Auditor Eide's office at the Court
house the examining board of men
calles for the military service placed
the names on Cavalier county's list
of twenty-five men whose claims for
exemption they denied.
The men who had their claims turn
ed down by the examining board had
filed afiidavits asking for exemptions
upon the grounds of having depen-
dents. They were included among
some sixty odd men drawn and who
based their claim for exemptions
upon the ground of having depen.
dents. But investigation into their
cases showed that although married
the claimants had no children depen-
dent upon them. The rules and reg
ulations governing the action of the
examining board was plain on this
point and left no other course but to
deny the claim of married men for
exemption except in such cases where
the dependents included children as
we'll as the wife.
The agricultural and industrial
claims for exemptions, of which
there were about sixty, have been
certified up to the state board of ex.
aminers at Bismarck and from a
knowledge of the regulations govern.
ing decisions of such claims it is ex-
pected that at least fifty per cent of
those filing affidavits fer exemption
upon these grounds will have their
claim turned down.
Yesterday the board was waited up.
on by the clergy and officials of the
Mennonite Brethren church in the
Rosehill settlement, these gentlemen
presenting the claims for exem ption
of several of the young men of their
congregation who asked exemption
from being drafted for military SER
vice owing to their religious scruples.
Five aliens had their claims for
exemption allowed investigation
showing that none of them had up to
that time made application for rights
of citizenship. The hoard also &C.
cepted the returns of the doctors who
made the physical examination and
reported forty.six men as not up to
the medical standard of the army re-
quirement.
The record Of the examining board
as 1T now stands shows that possibly
about half of Cavalier county allotted
quota for the military draft are now
available and it has been determined
to notify $50 men subject to draft to
appear and be examined as to their
fitness. The notices will be mailed
on Saturday with order to sppaar in
Langdon the latter part of next week.
As the time until the drafted men
will be called up for mobilization is
now quite short the work of examina-
tion and filing exemptions has got to
be speeded up. In regard to the fill
ing of affidavits for exemptions the
board urges claimants to use extreme
care in making their affidavit to ac-
tual facts as they apply to their case
as the closest Investigation will fol-
low and misstatements of facts are
subject to heavy penalty by law.

First Load of New Barley Sol,

Henry Jennings hauled in the first
load of the 1917 crop of barley to be
marketed in Langdon from his farm
in the Stilwell settlement Monday
forenoon. 1t was sold to the Far
mers elevator and with the price,
sample and yield considered wi IL
mean more dollars to the acre than
last years crop did. Last Saturday
Mr.. Jennings started up his threshing
outfit fer the fall work and samples
of wheat. oats and barley so far
turned out indicate that the crop of
1917 will bring more money into Cav
alier county then in several years
past.
