PEALS TO AMERICANS.
FOOD FOR U.S.SOLDIERS
y ASTE OF THE AMERICAN HOME
MUST BE STOPPED.
Europe Crying for Surplus of Wheat
and Other Grains From the
Fields of the West.

Washington, June 9.-Food Direc-
tor Hoover, in q statement today, ap-
reals to the American people to as
sist the food administration in its
efforts to increase production and
to conserve American supplies.
Eve are at war;" it says. "We
must do what success in war de-
mands. He also fights who helps a
fighter fight. That is the way we
can all help in the war, and if we
dent help the war will not be won.'
''Great Britain normally raises
about one-fourth of the grain she
reeds for her bread, France about
one-half. The additions necessary to
make up the total quantities needed
are brought in from various other
countries. But in these abnormal
times the native production of the
fighting Allies is greatly reduced by
the withdrawal Of man power from
the farms to the army and munition
factories; also by reason of late frosts
his years crop in theUnited Kingdom,
France and Italy is a partial failure.
Opportunity to import from certain
grain-raising countries, as Russia and
Pumania, is entirely lacking, and
from certain others, as Australia,
South America and India, is greatly
lessened on account of the long haul
for which ships cannot be spared.
"In addition, the actual cereal and
meat consumption of the Allied coun-
tries is increased by the transfer OF
of men from sedentary oc-
to those of great physical
activity and by the wastage Incidental
co the feeding of the great armies
n the field. There must alsc be rec
cgnized the greater demand for seed
grain to maintain the dairy and meat
supplies and the cavalry horses of the
armies"

Daniels Announcement

Washington, June 9.-The naval COL
lier Jupiter has arrived in France,
Secretary Daniels announced yetser-
day, laden with 10000 tons of wheat
and other supplies. The ship sailed
from an American port without any
il timation Of her voyage having been
given out in advance, and is now at
alchor in a French port.
The Jupiter is one of the navy's
largest colliers. She was the first
eiectrically-propelled steamer ever
built, and her performance was so
good that it led to tie adoption of
electric drive for all new battleships
and battle cruisers, the American ma
Wy being the only one in the world
to adopt this type of propulsion. The
Jupiter was built at Mare Island navy
yard, San Francisco, and she has high
speed for an auxiliary naval vessel,
which would enable her to escape SUBJ
marine attacks under any but unusal
circumstances.

rARTY OF TOXIC CAPITALISTS
MAKE A TOUR.
HARTMAN OF JAPAN"
SENATOR IN GROUP
VISITING HERE.
Say That Never Before Have They
Seen Such PrOductiveness as
HARTMAN OF JAPAN"

Not only japanese labor, but Jap
anese capital, is helping develop the
great Imperial Valley.
Yesterday distinguished party of
Japanese statesmen and capitalists
from Toxic visited the Imperial Val
ley, and they are continuing their
tour into Lower California today, on
4 trip which will undoubtedly mean
the investment of thousands of for
eign capital in the valley.
The party consisted of Mich;taka
Sugawara, member Of the upper house
OF the Imperial diet, anG formed min
lister of the japanese treasury; U.
lIashimoto, called the Hartman of
Japan" director of the Asano Ship
building Company, of Toxic, and G.
Ikeda, published of the Japanese news
paper, the New World, of San Fran
cisco
The party is en- route back to ia
pan after tour of the United States
which has consumed the greater part
cf two months. They will sail on the
steamship Siberia for Japan on June
16, from San Francisco.
Besides looking for investment op-
portunities, the japanese are studying
the condition of their countrymen in
the Imperial Valley and elsewhere
throughout the West.
The Japanese capitalists found that
their countrymen in the Valley were
more prosperous than in any other
section of the country, and, because
they are prosperous, are happy.
Nowhere have we seen such great
production" said Mr.. Hashimoto last
night at the Calexico hotel. "We have
visited nearly every farming center
IN the country, and Imperial Valley
leads. We will go back to Japan with
impressions of this country which will
rot soon be effaced."
The japanese speak English fluent
ly and talked volubly of what they
saw during their tour of the valley

concluded to retire from active busi-
ness. The family will, however, con-
tinue to make Bottineau their home.
The Patrons Exchange is one of the
oldest and largest mercantile concerns
in Bottineau county. From small
beginning it has been built up by Mr.
Scully to a business of large pro-
portions, enjoying an extensive pat

F. It is not likely that the business

considered particularly desirable one
and in all probabilities the building
will be leased and the business con-
tinued by someone along similar

For the next two weeks Mr.. Marsh

which will discuss the price of wheat
in it's relation to other war prices and

the war profteer, who are fighting

their unfair practices, are the real

Of life have gone up 85 per cent in

only 26 per cent.
"The effect of bad housing and par
tial starvation due to high prices is
shown in the poor physical condition
of most of the $4,000 men enrolled
by the draft in New York. I believe
that the interests of labor and the
farmer are identical. The farmers
ealize that good wages are necessary
to make a good market for their pro-
ducts and the wage workers realize
that denying the farmers fair prices
will only drive men off the farms, re-

BARNES SAYSN0
Saloon SAMPLE
TELLS CONGRESSMAN YOUNG
PRICES MUST BE- ACCORD
ING TO GRADES.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Farmers will
not be permitted to sell wheat on
sample this year according to a state
ment by Julius H. Barnes, president
of the food administration grain cor
poration.
The North Dakota railroad COM
mission asked Congressman George
M. Young to ascertain whether it
would be permissible under the gov
ernment plan Of grain purchase to
sell grain on sample, stating in their
message to the congressman that a
large part of the crop may grade two,
three and even four on account of the
presence Of weed seed, and that if it
was sold on grade it would save mil
lions Of dollars to the farmers Of the
northwest.
Mr.. Barnes in his reply to Con-
gresham Young's query stated that
the prices have been fixed according
to grades and that the premium
question does not enter into it; in
other words, that premium cannot
be obtained by selling on sample.
Barnes urges that under the new and
more exact system Of national grad
ing there will not be large variation
as has been the case in the past, and
that for that reason there will not
be the necessity for selling from
samples. He adds that the terminal
elevators have been requested to dis
continue the mixing systems and
thinks that the saving to the farmers
on that account will more than offset
the loss from being compelled to sell
to grades.
Mr.. Young does not agree with the
head of the grain corporation and
has sent out letters to his farmer con-
stituents asking them to write to Food
Administrator Hoover and Mr.
Barnes, urging that they be allowed
to sell their flour according to the
flour making value Of the grain, and
that they be given the same privilege
as in former years of selling on sam
pie.
