CHURCHES TO
OBSERVE FOOD
SUNDAY HERE
Conservation Of Supply to
be Discussed by Several
Pastors.

In response to a request from Her
bert c. Hoover. the government food
commissioner, Grand Forks Clergy
men will devote part Of their sermons
Of next Sunday to the discussion Of
food conservation. The government
has invited the cooperation Of all
this direction, and in nearly all OF
the local churches the subject will be
taken up. each minister urging his
congregation to save, to conserve and
to practise the gospel Of economy at
a time when retrenchments r sorely
needed all over the country, in the
business world as we'll as in individual
homes.
Rev. w. H. Matthews. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, said this
afternoon, that he intends to allude
to the subject of food conservation In
his sermon next Sunday. He realizes
the necessity of preaching economy
al all times and especially at the pres
ent stage Of the development of ma
tional events. g.
Rev. ]. Harvey Moore, Of the First
Methodist church, also intends to take
the subject up for discussion mex
Sunday.
Rev. j. M. P~ersenius of the Swedish
Lutheran church said that the rules
of his church make it incumbent upon
it's ministers to preach only in ac-
cordance with the stipulated Biblical
text. so it would not be possible for
him to refer to food conservation
from the pulpit. However, he spoke
lengthily upon the subject yesterday
when the congregation held its annual
feels in sympathy with the efforts OF
the government for the purpose OF
conserving food and preventing waste,
and pledged his support.
Rev. H. F. Buegel, pastor of the
German Lutheran church, had not re-
ceived any letter from MI. Hoover
and, accordingly, had not yet made
food question in his sermon next SUM-
day.
Rev. A. J. Hulteng said that he in
tends to take up the subject of food
conservation in his m on the
coming Sunday, but Rev. David
Stoeve, of the Zion Norwegian Luth-
eran church. will be out of town, and
consequently has made no arrange
ments for taking up the question of
food economy. Rev. N. j. Lohre. pas
tor OF the Trinity Norwegian Lutheran
church. could not be reached today
as he is out of town, nor was it pos
sible to reach Rev. FIR. O'Driscoll Of
the st. Mary's Catholic church.
Rev. H. B.. Thorgrimsen. of the
First Lutheran church. said hat he
has consistently referred to food con-
servation in all the addresses he has
delivered for several weeks past to
the young peoples society.
Other ministers have indicated that
they intend to cooperate with the
government in the matter of food con-
servation. and it is generally thought
that Sunday, July 1, will be set aside
as a special Food Conservation day
in Grand Forks.

MANY DRIVERS OF
NON-TACGED MOTOR
VEHICLES ARRESTED

That the warning, Remember your
auto tags!" Is to be taken seriously.
was realized yesterday and today by
a number of men who were arrested
by o. T.. Haakanson, of the office of
the secretary of state. for operating
a motor vehicle without the registra-
ton tag required by the laws Of North
Dakota.
Despite previous warnings it ap-
pears that many owners and drivers
Of motor vehicles had neglected to
display license tags, and, as a conse-
quence, more than a dozen warrants
were issued for the offenders. The
warrants were served late yesterday
afternoon and notification given that
the Offenders appear in court this
morning.
Some Of those who were arrested,
appeared in court this morning be-
fore City Justice Purcell and were
f1ned $40 and costs. But others who
had o been notified to come to court,
remained away, so the policy Of the
authorities was changed today to the
effect that offenders will be arrested
and taken to the city hall in their

Nearly all the drivers who have
been gathered into court during the
last two days. were in possession of
auto tags. but had neglected to dis
play them on their automobiles or
motorcycles. In most cases, n sign

quires two; and in other cases defend.
ants claimed ignorance Of the Nregula-
ions of the state. Some said they had
forgotten n of the tags at their
home, and others had the missing tag
lying in their car but had omitted to
make 1t visible to the searching eye
Of the representatives Of the law. This
iact, however. could not be pleaded
out in complete disregard Of the fim-
sy excuses offered by some Of the de.

EXEMPTION
BOARDS NOT

County Auditor, Sheriff and

pected to Serve.

Exemption boards for the examina-

tAry %selective CONSUMPTION on June 8.
will soon be appointed in North Da-
kota, and it is generally thought that
the boards will be composed of the
county auditor. the sheriff and the
county physician in each county.
County Auditor Hans Anderson has
nature Of his duties as a member of
the exemption board. and is awaiting
instructions before he proceeds to re-
view the nearly 5000 cards which
were filled in on registration day.
So Tar as known, exemption claims
will be divided into various groups
and classes. and a process of elimina-

AS North Dakota is the 42nd state,
in the order Of enlistment records.
and as the authorities in Washington
have indicated that the states which
have fallen below the recruiting must
bear their share in the drafted army.
it is thought that comparatively few
exemption claims will be allowed in
this state.
It is worthy Of note tina the per-
sonnet Of the exemption boards Of the
state of Minnesota already has been
published. while no definite informa-
ton Is available as far as North Da-
kota is concerned. A long distance
conversation with Bismarck this aft
ernoon revealed that fact that as little
was known there as in Grand Forks
about the appointment of exemption
boards.
