Fargo, held Monday evening in the ar
raory, it was decided definitely to as
sist Company B in its recruiting cam
paign this week In order to carry out
this plan Systematically a committee
consisting of Mrs. D. A: McLaren,
Mrs. o. p. McKinsey, Miss Ethel
MAckerracher and Miss Bessie Daven-
port was appointed, to work in con-
junction with Sergeant Louis Thune,
who has charge of the recruiting cam
paign.
The efforts Of the ladies will depend
upon what Company B determines as
to the best mode Of assisting in the
campaign, now in progress, but 1t will
no doubt include considerable publ
city work
When the Company B members re-
turned to the armory from their drill

that no sugar remains in the dregs OF
your coffee cups. And It means TAX
ing thought OF the source of foods.
The Japanese have a habit of call
ing food honorable'-they speak OF
their honorable rice. Americans have
learned to call the potato and the onion
honorable. It is up to the housewife
to investigate and see whether food is
scarce or only dishonesty withheld.
It is up to her to know what foods are
needed by our allies and how she may
help conserve the supply.
1T may mean thinking twice before
INDUCING a whilom taste for the un-
seasonable product. 1t will mean COM
bining with other households in buy
ing; 1T may mean an inquiry as to
why your grocer allows himself sud
den fluctuations in charges while your
knowledge assures you that the mar
ket should be steady.
It's a whole new game to learn for
the good Of the nation. One may feel
just as satisfactorily superior over a
well purchased meal as over a well
chosen bonnet, and it counts more for
the family"

From The outlook: Our new armies

ton. This means that contrary TO our
general method OF doing things, we
are going to try to put square pegs
into square holes and round pegs into
round holes. We are going to try to
use the great human wealth of our
country to the best possible advantage
In the long trial OF strength with
autocracy which is before us.
To utilize our youths TO the best adj
vantage we shall throw what safe
guards we can about them to protect
them against drunkenness, vice. and
disease.
The best safeguard against drunken
ness and vice is a clean mind. There
Is one man in the country who has
home to more thousands than any
other. why not, in accordance with
the true principles of selective con-
scription, draft this man for service
In our training camps or behind our
lines in France?
Why not commission the Rev. VIII
liam A. Sunday a chaplain in the
army?
We do not know Mr.. Sundays plans
for the future, but we are inclined to
believe and to hope that IL the gov
eminent should open to him an oppor-
tunity to preach clean living and clean
thinking to the soldierg Of his country
the only way TO "conscript" him for
such service would be to catch him
before he has q chance to enlist.
Why not Major Sunday, chaplain
general to the American forces?

CAMP MEADE SETS NEW
RECORD FOR BUILDING
Guardsmen Will Be Carefully Drilled
in the Work Of Protecting
Against Fires

BALTIMORE. Nd, Aug. 23.--Camp
Meade is establishing record that other
cantonments will have a hard time to equal
Every day for the last three weeks as
dusk has compelled the men to lay down
their tools, there have been completed to
the last detail nineteen wooden barracks
The building of one is a task In itself
for the structure is l42 feet long and forty
two feet wide. Furthermore. the buildings
are erected with considerable care to with
stand onslaughts of wind, rain and cold
In all there are to be 5000 of these quar-
ters and they will be in readiness not
many days after September !.
Camp Meade Is getting quite chesty. II
now boasts of a fire department that is the
last word in efficiency and speed. A half
dozen experienced fire-fghters compose the
company and for apparatus they have six
powerful chemical engines and any number
of hand extinguishers. For some time the
Government has been working on plans for
separate fire companies for each group of
buildings and as a consequence when the
troops are finally ensconced at the camp
they will be afforded ample fire protection.
The guardsmen also will lend hand in
case of fire They will be drilled I'm forming
bucket brigades and manning the engines.
The problem of fire protection is a big one,
for more than $4,000 men will be quartered
In the wooden buildings and at least 5000
animals.
The mosquito squad" has now turned
its attention to swattlng the fly Every
morning armed with the latest weapons, -
the squad sallies forth and engages the
foe. Casualties are tremendous, IL is said,
for the squad IL as ruthless as any com
