AN IF" FOR GIRLS
with Apologies to Rudyard

with Apologies to Rudyard
=. Kipling.1
If you can dress To make yourself
attractive,
Yet not make your puffs and eurls
your chief delight:
Ii you can swim and row, be strong
and active.
Put OF the gentler graces not lose
sight;
IL YOU can dance without a craze for
dancing;
Play without giving play too
strong a hold,
Enjoy the love of friends without
romancing,
Care for the weak, the friendless
and the old;
If you can master French and Greek
and Latin,
And not acquire, as we'll, a prig-
gish mien;
II you can feel the touch of silk and
satin
Without despising calico and jean;
If You can play a saw and use ham
mer,
Can do a mans work when the
need occurs,
Can eli vvha, aclyn1
cuse or stammer,
Can rise above unfriendly snubs
and slurs;
II You can make good bread as we'll
as Judges,
Can sew with skill, and have an
eye for dust;
If you can be a friend and hold no
grudges,
\ girl whom all must love be-
cause they must;
Il sometimes you should meet and
love another,
And make a home with faith and
peace enshrined,
And you its soul-a loyal wife and
mother
You'll work out pretty nearly to
my mind
The plant that's been developed
through the ages.
And win the best that life can
have in store;
You'll be my airl, a model for the
SageS-
y woman whom the world will
bow before" Selected.

10000 IS STUTSNAN
GOAL IN Y" DRIVE
Executive Committee Plans Ener.
getie Campaign in Stutsman
to Aid War Work.

Far-reaching plans for the Y. NJ.
c. A. war work campaign to be held
the week of Nov. IL to 10, were
discussed Sunday by the executive
committee Of the Stutsnian county
Y. M. G. A. war work council. The
local committee, headed by Oscar
Zimmerman, recognizing that the
national call for $35, 900, 900, of which
the county's share is $4,000, is to
cover expenses of the work only till
July of next year, has decided to
go out for voluntary annual pledge
that will cover all future calls, thus
eliminating the harassing discomfort
and burden to the community of a
campaign for funds every six
months.
The committee, composed Of Oscar
Zimmerman. o. J. Seller, c. S. Buck,
w. B. Default, r. r. Wolfer, F. z.
'McElroy, Judge Coffey, and r. Bell,
have set $4,000 as the goal for an
nual pledges, one-half to be paid in
now for the funds needed to meet
the present world appeal, the remain
der to be paid in when called for by
the committee to answer future ma
tional calls.
Chairmen for all Of the railroad
towns OF the county were selected
and are being approached today by
members of the local committee.
Such men as j. A. Buchanan Of
Buchanan, w. F. Siege of Medina,
George Berg OF Kensal, and G. III.

assured the committee OF their sup
port in the campaign.

COMPILING HISTORY IS
POLYTECHNIC SUBJECT
Will Be Discussed at Regular Sc
ciety Meeting at Agricultural
College Wednesday Evening.

Prof. e. G. Meinzer of the agricul-
tural college will speak at the Poly
stechnic society Wednesday evening
on Problems in Compiling North Da-
kota History. The history OF ones
own state is often one of those sub
jects which is little known excepting
perhaps a very few events which
have attracted particular attention.
This is perhaps especially true in
this section of the country which
has not been settled for long period
and ancestral tales and traditions
have had no opportunity for develop
ment.
Prof. Meinzer has endeavored to
increase interest in the subject
through his classes, especially by
assigning the students topics on state
history to work out and report upon.
Bringing together in this way a con-
nected story of the state led to
some very interesting questions re-
garding the source and reliability of
the infornca ton obtained. and it is
this in particular, of which he will
speak at the meeting Wednesday
evening.

STACKING" OF
WORST KIND In
FOOD CAMP Align
State Food Administration
Makes Plea For
Pledges
STATE DOESN'T
WANT SL1ACKERS
Housewives Uncork Many
Questions Which Are
Answered

Il am Just as economical as / can
be, so why should / sign a food
pledge card?" was one of the ques-
tions asked a young girl of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
this afternoon who was doing her
share in building up Uncle Sans
great food munitions factory. Fur
thermore, / don't believe there is any
food shortage" said the woman.
knowledge in domestic science
work at the state college and infor-
nation which had been given to the
student body by public speakers dur
ing convocation, found the young
woman prepared to meet any attack.
IF you are as economical as you
can be, then surely there is no rea-
son why you should not sign and
show that you belong to that honor
roll, and if you say there is no food
shortage, you are judging only from
the conditions you see around you,
said the worker.
THE northwest is extremely pros
porous this year, as are the great
manufacturing communities in the
east. You have studied only your To-
cal conditions, while at the Agricul
tural college we get information
daily from the information bureau
in Washington which has and is
studying the world situation. This
bureau knows that there is a short
age and that out of local abundance,
such as we have in Fargo and other
cities Of ire state, we must supply
the world need"
Doesn't Like War Bread.
At another Fargo dwelling it was
reported that the housewife stated
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-11-06

her family did not like war bread
and war food.
when men are rislxing their lives
every moment and every energy of
the country is strained to save our
national honor and existence, is 1t
not a pretty mean and selfish thing
to refuse to make small sacrifices in
personal indulgence?" asked the
young girl. This is Stacking of the
worst kind"
North Dakota doesn't want any
slackers in this great campaign to
feed the armies at the front. She
wants women who will Immediately
step forward and sign willingly. The
state must make a whirlwind show
ing and there are ten days in which
to do 1t. North Dakota with a sub
scription to the second Liberty Loan
of "a per cent over its quota, state
which has sent 10000 into the serv-
ice, cannot fall down in this little
campaign which is going to protect
and feed her youth who were men
enough to volunteer and who now
are watching to see what the state
will do for them.
"It is a lie" is the way a state
official branded the report current
over the state that the government
will requisition food. Anyone who
hears of such a story and knows
who made the statement should be
patriotic enough to report the mat
ter to the United States marshal or
to the district attorney. They have
the power to act, and will see that
the speaker is taken into custody so
his remarks will not injure the gov
eminent"
IL is Food Saving.
It is not money saving, but food
saving. which is the objective Of the
workers of the state. The state must
eat local products and perishable
foods in order to release the foods
that can be transported for army
use and which will not spoil while
en- route. Some substitutes are as
costly; others like beans or fish, in
stead Of meat, are not.
1.-THE man Of wealth who declares
he is rich enough to afford the
things he chooses and that there is
no need in his saving is about the
worst of slackers for his wealth
gives him the opportunity for wide
range of choice in substituting other
foods for those needed by the SOL
diers," says one of the pamphlets is
sued by the federal government. 'If
he will eat the expensive dainties
the fighting men will have more Of
the staples"
The cards which have been cir
culated throughout the state de-
mand neither fees nor dues. 1t is
simply voluntary act on the part
of the housewife or head of the fam
lily to sign the card, thereby pledging
to do her share in conserving the ma
tion's supply of food.
Furthermore, the private supply
of the family is not to be comman-
deered. Many reports to this effect
were circulated in the western part
of the state. 1t is simply save food,

the United States hopes to feed her
soldiers and those of her allies who
are battling at the front.

Division Including North
Dakota Troopers Getting
Into Action at Mills

Camp Mills. n. Y. Nov. 6.-Ner-
vousness has developed at Camp
Mills. Although It is general, the
ranks Of the Sunset division are CIV
ing especial evidence Of it at the
present time. This division-the 41st
is made up Of some OF the huskiest
volunteers in camp. They came
from Idaho. Wyoming. New Mexico,
North and South Dakota, Washing

nervousness Is the fear peace will
come before they get over there"
This is how a North Dakota
private expressed It.:
The Huns are cracking, I tell
you. / don't mind the work Of get
ting in shape and all that sort Of
thing. but II we don't get OVER there
and get in that little free -for-all-
WE'LL ain't expecting any holiday in

that's all. Life amt goin' to be
worth Twin IL we've got TO see home
again before we smell gunpowder or
gas. or whatever the (censored)
Germans fight with"
The Sunset division at present is
only about 10000 strong, and that's
another thing that CRATES on its
rank and file: they fear they VIII
have TO wait too long to get the
division filled TO war strength.
The division was stationed at
Charlotte, n. c., for a while before
Camp Mills became It's temporary

spoils when shipped overseas. More

allies, except Italy, have no mills
for grinding whole corn. Already the
allies are making other cereals fill
25 per cent Of their wheat bread re-
quirement. If America will make
corn meal and other cereals fill 20
per cent of its bread needs, enough
wheat will be saved to meet the call
