that the present Governor Of North Dakota has not given his
support to the Red Cross work, is a piece of dirty work that in
times like these Whea all should be working ha1monio1ssly for a
work so noble as that of the Red Cross, is almost too low to be
believed. The writer has heard Governor Frazier make two
speeches since the work for the Red Cross started III this state,
and while neither occasion was called as a Red Cross meeting,
the governor on both occasions took time to give the Red Cross
a boost, and he spoke as earnestly and sincerely in pleading for
all to help in this work as it was possible for any man to do. He
has also subscribed as much to the cause as any man in his cir
cumstances could be asked to give. 1t is safe to say that one Of
his traducers especially who at different places in the state has
accused the governor of not being loyal, has not given near as
much in proportion to his means as has our governor. Gov.
Frazier has spoken for the Red Cross, has given literally to the
Red Cross and has worked faithfully and effectively in urging
others to assist this great humanitarian society. The attempt
to discredit the peoples governor by politicians masking under
the guise of patriotism will not be listened to without protest
from the loyal people of North Dakota.-Carrington Record.

FOOD CONSERVATION WEEK.

One Of the most vital problems confronting the American peo-
pie today is the necessity of supplying our Allies with something
ter. Millions of bushels Of wheat, a s well as huge quantities of
beef, pork, sugar and dairy products are actually needed. If the
world is to be made safe for Democracy, America must come to
the rescue OF those who fight for us and with us-WIIH FOOD.
Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator, says it
can be done if every true American will eat less of these particu-
lar foods and more of other foods of which we have an abundance

lily will do everything in its power to conserve the food of Amer

and at home, the United States Food Administration has launch
ed a nationwide Food Pledge Campaign.
The campaign, will open on Sunday morning, October Fl, and
close Sunday night October 20. Every housewife in America
will be asked to sign a pledge card that she is glad to join in the
Food Conservation for our nation and accepts membership in the
United States Food Administration, pledgng herself. to carry
out the directions and advice of the Food Administration in her
home, insofar as her circumstances will permit. No fees, no
dues, no contributions are asked, just a signature with her ad-
dreSS) that is an evidence OF loyalty to support the splendid ef-.
fort of the Food Administration.
North Dakota has a sacred and special duty to perform in this
great food conservation movement. During the week OF October

North Dakota is squalely behind the Nations and the Allies. No
state in the Union is so distinctly agricultural. With the one ex-
ception of sugar, every product necessary to feed our fighting
