himself unwavering in his convic-
tons, staunch in his fidelity to these
convictions, courageous in the face
of adversely and injustice, and gen

him, who has, in short, shown him
self true disciple of his leader, in

the city over this recess. Dean of
Women, Bernice Sanford will visit
Moorhead Normal School d r n G

over La Crosse in the Thanksgiving
football game. Coaches Hayward
and Swenson say the team is in ex.
cellert condition and will win. A
large number of students and other
enthusiastic followers will accomp-
any the team.
A large number of calls for teach
ers is coming into the school,,
especially for young men to teach
agriculture. This demand is SO
urgent that the school finds it neces-
sary to send out some men at this
time even though their courses are
not as yet complete. They will re-
turn for summer school. Norma al
Eckley is a candidate at Waterloo;
Archie Anderson at Barron; Edward
Stadler at Ripon, all positions teach

At Assembly Monday, President
Ames characterized Thanksgiving
Day as the great American home
coming day. He spoke of the brok.
en- family circles which students re-
turning home would find in many
cases this year. Students were adj
viSed to have this matter in mind
aid seek to find way to Tighten
the burdens of mothers who have
sent their sons to war. Young PEG.
pie frequently look upon vacation
time as belonging strictly to them
selves with no thought for the hap.
piness of the folks at home. Mr..
Ames said this last year many were
thankful that we were spared the
war, while today those same people
were giving thanks that at last we
have awakened to our duty and have
an opportunity to do our part in the
great war for humanity.

Dor this mill continues its activities
far into the night, in fact no one
seems to know whether they ever

We found upon inquiry that the
demand for their White Crest flour
has passed all former records. We
all know that this mill has had it's
time of trial owing to their fire of
last year and it is with considerable
degree of pride and satisfaction that
we see them booming again.
Our attention was especially at

mill, recently installed which can
grind oats or barley or other grain
as fine as flour at minimum cost of
power. This machine built by the
Robinson Mfg. Co. is very complete
and satisfactory to the f m r
whom it serves.

FOOD CONTROL BILL
 TO HAVE OPPOSITION
INpl CATIONS THAT PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY CAN LOOK
 FOR LITTLE RELIEF.

Washington May 25--Thc govern. ments first food bill providing for a national foodstuf censue and appro- pr.atine about $l5.000.000 for meas ures to stimu ate production was briefly cons dered today oy the senate and placed in D sition fir continuous discussion beginning tomorrow until final disposal
 Tn he house tomorrow the second and more drastic administration meas ure for control of fcodstuTs will be pressed fir passage. subject to .nter- ruption only by conference reports. Thie bill would authorize the creation of food administrator, price fixing and prevention of hoarding
 After several days of preliminary work. occupied argely in revising the original draft, the production bill was brought before the senate today by Chairman Gore of the agriculture committee. The brief discussion in. dicated some measures of opposition even to the propoe ed conferring of D wer upon the secretary of agricul. ture to have agents inquire into bust. ness of food dealers and owners.
 Opposition in the senate, however, is largely centered upon the control measure Senator Gore is said to oppose the price-fixing pr posal, and for that reason is not expected to sponsor CT introduce the b,ll as in- troduced in the house by Represents. tive Lever of South Carolina with he approval of the administration.
 Nhi congressional leaders plan to expedite both tcod bills. the senate leaders expect to await house action upon the control measure and pos slbly will postpone it's consideration for several weeks until after the war revenue bill has been disposed of.
