STATE COUNCIL OF
DEFENSE MEETS TO
DISCUSS PROBLEMS

Sessions of the North Dakota De-
fense Council were held this week in
Bismarck, when preparedness for de-
fense, for greater food production, for
comfort and for marketing was the
central theme. DR.. V. H. Stickney of
this city, head of the council, and
w. J. Motley, manager of the Farm
ers' Cooperative elevator here, were in
attendance, and were named to places
on more important committees.
Council organized by naming an ex-
ecutive committee, of which Dr..
Stickney is a member. One of the
biggest problems to be taken up is
aid in registration for draft. The
council will make plans to carry out
order of the president in regard to
the draft and will make an effort to
see that every man registers. Plans
will be made for securing of farm
labor this fall. Research work will be
undertaken for the purpose of promot-
ing industrial and agricultural devel-
opment of the state.
The organization embodies North
Dakota's best brains. It will deal in
greater part with the food situation,
with increased production, reduction
Of waste, better distribution; state
protection, transportation, health, Red
Cross aid, and general research
work.
DR.. Stickney has been named to
craftsmanship of the finance COM
mittee and Mr.. Motley is member of
the coal and mining body.

CALL FOR ARMBANDS FOR
MEN ON REGISTRATION DAY

With a view of singing out, by
special mark of honor, those men who
register on June 5th, government au-'
thorities have definitely decided to use
the cotton khaki-colored armband, and
to depend upon local patriotism and
initiative in each city, town or voting
precinct to provide them and make
suitable arrangements for distribution
at the. polls to every man register
ing. This official decision emphasizes
the importance of comforting this
mark of honor on all who register.
Woman's organizations or individuals
in each locality are therefore urged to
cooperate to further the success Of
the undertaking.
Enough armbands should be pro-
vided to insure one for every man
registering. Any khaki-colored cloth
will answer the purpose. The ma
terial should be inches wide and 18
inches long; this when hemmed all
around will make a finished band
about 2 inches wide and II inches
long. A committee should be sta
toned at each polling place to pin
the armband on the left arm of each
man as he registers.

COAL PROBLEM IS
SERIOUS BABC0Ck
INFORMS COUNCIL

That 100000. cars will be required
next fall to carry North Dakota s
coal, and that neither cars nor coal
may be available at that time ws
a startling statement made by Dean
E. J. Babcock of the North Dakota
school Of mines, member of the fed
eral national defense council. ~...
Dean Babcock urged that the neces-
sity of purchasing and storing coal
now be impressed upon every citi-
zen of North Dakota. Those who do
not make provision now for fuel
supply will certainly suffer next
winter, stated the speaker. He en-
phasized the Importance of educating
North Dakota people generally in the
use Of Ignite, and that committee
be named to consider transportation to
and from the mines, to point out to
the railroads where fuel will be most
needed, and to receive from the rail-
roads advice as to where it may be
procured. Cities and schools should
be communicated with at once, said
Babcock, in order that our public
buildings may not be left without fuel
next winter. The newspapers should
be enlisted in a campaign of educa-
ton. "We must convince the people
that if they do not prepare now they
will be cold next WINTER said the
dean.
