Princeton was unusually lucky in

MsseURps FOOD ADMINISTRATOR

Choosing from a field necessarily
Afk1ited because of the requirements OF
~ lhe position, the National Food Ad-
ministration selected Dean Frederick
B. Mumford of the University College
of Agriculture to be Nlissouri's food
administrator.
Men to handle positions of this sort
are few. The administrator must not
only be an executive but must also
have at his very finger tips the
knowledge of all of the resources of
the state.
Happily Dean Mumford has all of
the requirements for the position. He
has developed the College of Agri-
culture through his administrative
ability until now it ranks second to
none in the Missouri Valley. AS to
his knowlede of the resources and
potentialities of the state, few men
can compare with him. He has been
in active touch with all of the agri-
cultural movements throughout Mis-
souri, and has helped the Missouri
farmer in more ways than the Mis-
souri, farmer himself realizes.
Dean Mumford has two great
factors behind him in his work, and
he is familiar with the uses both can
be put to. One is the College of
Agriculture, with its laboratories and
state organization which can collect
data for the Administrations work.
The other is the Extension Service of
the University by which this knowl
edge can be spread bpadcast over the
state.
The home economics department of
the University is already working on
number of war recipes for the con-
servation of foodstuff. The results
of this departments work will be
spread not only by the food admins
tration but by the University as well.
The College of Agriculture has had
increased production as its aim in
peace time. Now that the United |
States must also fed the Allies this
increased production and the methods
of \ increasing production become
doublely vauable. Dean Mumford
knows how much more the college can
do and he knows how to distribute this
knowledge to the Missouri farmer so
that the best results will be obtained.
The Extention Service of the Uni
versity has already done much for
the country in its organizing of the
farmers for greater agricultural re-
turns Its clubs and county agents
will cooperate in every way with the
new food administrator.
Dean Mumford in interviews with
the press has said that his work will
be to prevent the speculation in food
stuff and to get the people imbued with
the idea of conservation. He will not
work through the small distributor
but through the producers and larger
dealers. Most of his work will be
getting the people of Missouri to see
the Importance of stopping the vast
age of food supplies.
Dean Mumford has the knowledge of
how to correct these evils and he has
the ways of letting the people know
what should be done. Now the people
Of Missouri must get behind the food
and show the world that
Dne of the greatest food producing
states is also one of the greatest food I

Tentative Orders
May Go August 1, But Probably
Not for Few Days Yet;
Equipment Lacking
TWENTY-FIVE DROPPED
Rigid Physical Examination
Forces Company Down to War
Strength of $50 Men

The officers of Company L re-
ceived orders Monday to be ready
to entrain Wednesday, August
/, for the concentration camp
near Deming, New Mexico, to
which the Second Regiment has
been assigned. The orders were
not positive and definite how
ever, and, in view of the fact
that not all the necessary equip
ment has been received, the Of
fcers believe the Company will
not leave for several days.
Captain sAlcott of the First
Minnesota. was at the Armory
! last Thursday night and mus
tered the Company into federal
service. Lieutenant Bickford, of
the United States Medical Corps
gave the physical examinations
which were extremely rigid.
Lieutenant Bickford and Captain
Alcott both remarked upon the
splendid physical fitness OF the
men of the Company as well as
upon the other requisites which
make Company L one Of the fin
est as well as the largest in the
state.
/ Of the one hundred seventy
two enlisted men, twenty-five
were designated as physically
unfit and dropped from the ros-
ter. This leaves the company
exactly at war strength with a
hundred fifty men and three Of
ficers. The men dropped after
the examinations were paid for
their time since enlistment from
the Company funds, about 5000
being required for this purpose.
This seriously depleted the fund
la fact that should be remem-
bered when subscriptions for the
fund are asked for. The gov
eminent makes no allowance for
the payment of any man above
the number required for was
strength, hence the paving OF
the extra men. enlisted devolved
upon the Company.
A consignment of equipment
consisting chiefly of cots and
blankets was received recently
and more, equipment is expected
soon. 1t is hoped by the mem
bers of the Company that the
next consignment will contain
the extra uniforms.
Judging from orders received
by Captain Cosgrove of the Man
kato Company, it is evident that
one company of each regiment

The first annual meeting of
the Redwood County Red Cross

at Wabasso and elected officers.
Mrs. c. C. Little of Redwood
Falls was elected chairman, Mrs.
Vim. Duncan, vice chairman, c.
T L. Burlet, treasurer, and Frank
Clague of Redwood Falls was
elected secretary. However, Mr..
Clague's duties as attorney and
F! his frequent absence from home
will probably make it impossible
for aim to take permanent
charge of the work and another
secretary will undoubtedly be
elected. =.

The directors chosen for the
new years work are: A. O. Gin

At the meeting Friday night
an interesting program was CIV
en-, Sen. Frank Clague of Red

were given by the chairman, the
secretary and the treasurer of
the county chapter as well as
by the heads of the membership
and supplies committees. Other
numbers of the program were

there was short business meet

That the work has been splen-

Gives Us A Story
Mass Meeting at New Ulm In
spires District Judge to Make
Comparisons

Following the mass meeting
at New Ulm last Wednesday
evening, Judge I. M. Olsen Of
the Ninth Judicial district, a
resident of New -Ulm, wrote the
following article which was pub
shed in the Brown County Jour-
\ of last Saturday. The Ga
zette republishes it as the most
logical and noteworthy of the
many criticisms made on this
meeting which has placed New
Ulm in such glaring limelight.
The Story.
r'The recent mass meeting re-
minds me Of the experience OF
certain farmers who were look
ING for harvest help. A hundred
farmers in Richland township lad
q big crop ready for harvest put
had no harvest help and needed
two hundred men to help har-
vest their crops. So these farm
4 ers went in to their market town
and county seat, the city of New
8Ricnland, having a population OF
a3out 5000 people, and applied
Ia the mayor and stated their
needs to him. The mayor greeted
Them in his most courteous man
-5Yar and extended the glad hand.
Sure" said the mayor, I'VE Will
help YOU out. We have some
two hundred good, strong men
around town here who are not
50 very busy. You can just as
well have them as not. / will at
once call my city council togeth-
ar and we will let you have the
men" So the city council was
allied and duly took action in
he matter, and here is what
hey enacted:
"Resolved, by the city coun-
-- il of New Richland, that we
urnish two hundred men to the
armers of Richland township
5 harvest help, the farmers tc
,llrnish them with clothing ano
,ouipment and feed them and
them their wages. Provided
lowever,' that the men so fur
ished shall not be required t6
. outside of the city limits OF
lew Richland to do any harvest
ork."
s'Move The Crops"
'But," said the farmers, I'VE
ave no crops to harvest within
our city limits, and if we are
feed and clothe and pay your
len and they remain here il
he city what will happen to oul
Tops and to our pocketbooks?'
"Well." said the mayor, "tha
- really your own fault, vol
ave no business to have you
arvest fields way out there II

en- to do the work you will hav

"Well, the farmers could no

id wouldn't accept, and so tn
nerous offer of the mayor an
liens of New Richland to fun

q of Richland township, wa
t appreciated.
