CAN'T SEIZE THESE SHIPS.

Agreement With Denmark Contains
Provision Exempting Germans.
1t has been revealed that an unpub-
lished provision in the agreement with
Denmark by which the Danish West
Indies were acquired by the United
States was that German or other war
bound ships in the islands would not be
seized or confiscated.
The disclosure vas made by Chair
man Alexander Of the commerce COM
mittee presenting the administration
bill to confer congressional sanction
upon the president for seizure and OPP
Grafton Of enemy war bound ships in
American ports.
When Republican Leader Mann asked
for more information about the agree
ment Chairman Webb Of the judiciary
committee warned the house that it
was not a subject to be discussed pub
iicly.
Mr.. Alexander then explained the pur-
pose Of the bill, which, he said, vas to
give the president full power to take
title to the ships, except those in the
Virgin Islands, and to provide for their
operation or lease by the government.

Merchant A. Schulke returned to
the city yesterday from his trip to
the markets of the east on a stock
buying trip extending over the past
three weeks.
Miss Viola Lawson one of the
teachers of the lower grades of the
city schools for the past two years,
as a visitor for a few days during
the week from her home at Fairmont,
N. D., with Langdon friends.
Mrs. Robert Work returned on
Monday from Bismarck, having made
a visit of several days there during
the week with her son, Stewart Work,
who since leaving his home for the
capitol city has become a member of
ca. A of the LIST Regiment of the
North Dakota national guard and will
be leaving Bismarck shortly with his
company for their training camp in
California.
F. P. Schutt, a West Hope farmer
residing near Elkwood had a Langdon
doctor called to his home last evening
to attend his little daughter, about
six years old, who got caught in the
sickle knife of the binder her father
was driving. The injury was at first
thought to have severed the foot be.
tween the ankle and the knee, but
reports indicate that amputation will
not be necessary.
Company E boys have had their
uniforms and most of their equipment
arrive during the week. Their arms
and balance of equipment is expected
within a few days. In fact the in.
timation is given out that their stay
among the folks at home is growing
rapidly to the stage where the good

parting from friends and home be-
come a reality until after the war is
over.
Conrad E. Ronneberg, principal of

who had been offered the position
again for the school year of 1917-18,
was here last week from his home
mean Wahpeton to take the draft ex-
animation, which he was successful
in passing. AS Mr.. Ronneberg did
not put in a claim for exemption from
service the board of education of the
Langdon high school will have to Sc
cure a substitute for the position
which he so capab]y filled during the
past year as principal of the high
school.

SAVE BREAD, ADVICE OF
UNITED STATES ECONOMISTS
Slices or Pieces of Bread Wasted
Will Feed Thousands,
Experts Warn.

A single slice of bread seems an I'M
important thing. In many households
one or more slices Of bread daily are
thrown away and not used for human
food. Sometimes stale quarter or half
loaves are thrown out.
Yet one good sized slice of bread
such as a child likes to cut-weighs an
ounce. 1t contains almost three-quar-
tiers Of an ounce Of flour.
If every one Of the country's 100000
600 homes wastes on the average only
one such slice of bread a day the coun-
try is throwing away daily over H.
100000 ounces Of -four, over $4,000
pounds, or enough -four for over a mil
lion one-pound loaves a day, OF a full
year at this rate there would be a
waste of over %319,000,00O pounds Of
-four, 100000 barrels Of flour, enough
to make 365, 100000 loayes.
AS it takes four and one-half bushels
Of wheat to make a barrel of ordinary
flour, this waste would represent the
flour from over 100000 bushels of
wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels of
wheat on the average are raised per
acre. 1t would take the fruit Of some
100000 acres just to provide a single
slice Of bread to be wasted daily in
every home.
To produce this much -four calls for
an army of farmers, railway men, flour
mill people. To get the flour to the
consumer calls for many freight cars
and the use Of many tons Of coal.
But, some one says, a full slice of
bread is not wasted in every home.
Very we'll, make it a daily slice for
every four or every ten or every thirty
homes, make it a weekly OF monthly
slice in every home, d. make the vast
ed slice thinner. The waste of flour
involved is still appalling, altogether
too great to be tolerated when wheat
is scarce.
Any waste of bread is ~ineXcusable
whom there are SO many ways of using
stale bread to cook delicious dishes.

FIND NEW STACKER GAME.
Federal Agents Believe Farmers"
Ought Not to Be EMPLOYED,

Federal Agents Believe Farmers"
Ought Not to Be Employed.
A new Stacker" ruse was found
when it was learned that federal agents
have recently been investigating the
payrolls of a number Of farmers of
Newton, Flushing and Great Neck, N.
Y. Certain farm hands are wanted
who are supposed to receive Sc q week
for playing golf and tennis and living
on the farm.
The farmers, it is said, have received
compensation for employing" young
sons Of the rich Long Island set who
believed that by registering as farm
ers they could escape CONSUMPTION. The
farmers, it is believed, have in certain
cases given away their own game, for
they got tired of "the young swells
who didn't know the difference be-
tween a grub hook and a cultivator"
and began to talk about their "em-
%ployees."

Every Soldier Forced to Don Full Mill
tary Attire-Naval Officers Next.
The war department presents a de-
cidedly military aspect. Every officer,
from Major General Hugh L. Scott
down, is attired in a khaki service
uniform. Mounted officers, under the
regulations, are compelled to wear
their spurs, which clank merrily as
they walk along the marble floors of
the corridors.
Some of the officers look none too
pleased, as their uniforms must be but
toned from top to bottom and are not
SO comfortable to work in as the bust
ness suits which they have worn here
tofore. The expectation is that Secre-
tary Daniels will shortly issue a sim
liar order for the guidance Of naval
officers on duty in the navy depart
ment.

Many who are not as richly
blessed with the worlds goods as
they should like, have no doubt
read the list Of the larger dona-
lions pledged at the mass meeting
and lunch, with mingled feelings of
admiration and envy. Indeed, two
of the Rabbits we're heard to admit
to each other that the only time
they envied the rich or felt a long
ing for money per Sc, was when
someone else gave larger dona-
ton to some worthy cause than
they could afford. Probably others,
too, have despaired Of being able
to do much for the War Sufferers, and
have therefore hesitated to do any,
thing. 1t is to these sensitive souls
that the following galaxy of self
denying offerings is cited.
In the matter of helping, all that
is necessary, to be of service, is
the WILL; with that, the WAY
will soon be found. Mention has

cannot be too much mention), of
the young women who, after toll

been willing to come evenings to
save the Relief Committee money,
to give of their efficiency to the

More such help is needed evenings;
also young women who are at lei

service during the day at the Of

for Mr.. Paul Pink, or any one of
