sugarman meeting in Kelso township.

Sugarman meeting in Kelso township.
There were 500 or more people there He
judged that about half the gathering was
composed OF men Of registration age. He
quoted Sugarman as saying that If all
the men registered for military service
would stick together, the government
would not come and look them all up, as
there would not be room enough in the
jails for them all; that it was said that
this was a free country, but he said
"hke nell It Isl" that more than 5000
people of ST. Paul did not register and
that these We're mostly socialists; What
they caught one now and then but not
many" that in other wars some people
We're not registered and were not made
to and never did go to war, and that if
the young men did not go across the wa
ter, at least they would not be shot in
france. Under cross examination, he
stated that secret service man. Mr.
McGovern was there. The witness re-
lated a conversation, said to have taken
place after the meeting, in which some
body asked what he should do if he was
ordered to appear. The witness said that
Sugarman advised this man not to re-
rort if he was called The audience was
composed mostly of farmers.

ing was about five miles from Arlington.
He went with Mr.. Wolter, John Nc
Govern and another man. He judged that
there were about $50 cars at that meet
ing, and 500 to 600 people. He said Sugar
man stated that there We're about 5000
socialists who did not register in ST.
Paul under the present law and that they
were not molested by the government
He quoted Sugarman as telling the young
men that if they did not respond to the
call for examination here, the conse-
quences would not be any worse than to
stick together the conScription officer
would ''have hell of a time'' with a
crowd like that present that night: that
President Wilson made it his campaign
slogan that he kept America out Of the
war, although before the election, he had
made up his mind to plunge the coun-
try into the war. The witness said he
thought about so per cent of these at the
meeting were twenty-one to thirty-one
years old. He said he heard one man ask
what would happen if the young men re-
fused to register. He quoted Sugarman
as saying: You should all stick together
and the conscription officer would have
a hell of time if he came here tonight"
The witness said he saw no posters in
Arlington announcing the meeting How
the meeting was called together he did
not know.
Judge Booth announced that as there
would be no more jury cases, criminal or
civil, after the Sugarman trial was over
for this term of the court, all of the petit

manity adm honor. AS a free people we
have elected to discharge this duty,
not under autocratic decree, but
without other restraint than the guild
ance of individual conscience. Upon
the success of this unprecedented ad-
venture in democracy will largely
stake the issue of the war;"
The problem of America, as the
food administrator sees it, is to feed
the allies this winter by sending them
as much food as America can of the
most concentrated nutritive value in
the least shipping space. These foods
are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products
and sugar. This is to be accomplished,
the housewives will be told, by eat
ing less of these and more of other
foods of which America has an abund-
ance, and by wasting less of all foods.
What Foods to Use.
There is superabundance of vege-
tables, especially of potatoes, but
they cannot be shipped to the allies
because they require from four to
ten times the tonnage of more con-
centrated foods, and the saving of
ocean tonnage is one of the vital
problems of war. The food admins
tration, therefore, urges the liberal
use of vegetables, and of fruit, poul-
try, fish and other sea foods, with a
larger use of corn meal for the pur-
pose of saving wheat. AS these foods
are healthful and relatively low in
price, it points out, the American
people are not asked to endure priva-
ton, but merely to change their eat
ing habits, and to avoid waste.

FOOD CONTROL IN ENGLAND
Government Pays Subsidy to Keep
the Bread Price Down.

Washington, October 25.-The food
administration department today

fact that bread, made of American
wheat, sells in England for about half
the price that the same bread would
bring in America. The government
gives a subsidy that keeps the price
down. 1t is stated that in England
the food prices are regulated in a
manner that is not possible under
the American law.
1t is stated that while some of the
food dealers in America are making
all that they can out os the situation,
r2ost of them are handling their busi-
ness along lines of patriotism. Some
of the sugar dealers are scored for
the way in which they are conducting
their business, but the department
remarks that all the food dealers
should not be blamed for what "a few
pirates" are doing.
