over the state have signed the pledges
willingly.

doing with force in Europe, Fargo
and North Dakota are doing morally.
Fargo people learned that a meat
less day Is a lesson in health, and
that after all. meat seems to be just
q habit. When the people left the
cafes and the hotels at noon there
were such utterances as, Il didn't
miss 1t a Bit" These sayings were
as popular as those of several weeks

giving up OF these things day or
two week is not a sacrifice. They
would do it just as willingly, how
ever, If 1t were"
Another patron of the cafe stated
that the American people will be
