ETY. MAKES SUGGESTION.
President Appeals to Farmer to In
crease Production as Patriotic
Wartime Duty.

Washington, April 11.-Immediate

crop acreage, an amendment of wheat
ment Of sheep raising.
The conventions resolution proposed
that food commission, If named,
handle also the 4roduction and distri-
button of clothing. They also recon-
mended that agricultural colleges grad
uate their senior classes earlier this
year than usual, so they may go imme-
diately to the farms, and that state
councils ofAdefense be named to aid the
national council, step already planned
III some states.
In a letter read to the convention
President Wilson appealed to the farm
er to swell his production as a patriotic
wartime duty.
President Wilson's letter, read be-
fore the convention, follows:
Sat the present moment it is our
plain duty to take adequate steps
that not only our own people be fed
but that we may, if possible, answer
the call for food of other nations now
at war.
'In this greatest of human needs, l
feel that the American farmer will do
his part to the uttermost.
"By planting and increasing his pro-
duction in every way possible every
farmer will perform labor of patriot
ism for which he will be recognized as
soldier of the commissary adding his
share to the food supply Of our peo-
pie"
Every Indian in Oklahoma under
the guardianship of the United States
government will be drafted" into the
United States service as farmer
under instructions sent to Gabe Il.
Parker, superintendent of the five CIV
ilized tribes, by Cato Sells, Indian
commissioner.
Parker also is authorized to take
the older boys out of school for farm
work.
More than 10000 restricted Indians
will be placed upon farm work under
government supervision In Oklahoma
alone.
The five civilized tribes are the
Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Semi
mole and Creek Indians.

strong resistance by the Germans,

portant gains ON Vimy Ridge.
The official statement from British

now in progress on the Arras-Lens
line, reports the capture up to late
hour of 1000 prisoners, including 235
officers, more than 100 guns, with
heavy guns up to eight inches, go

With the British Armies in France,
April 11.-Under binding snow squalls
with intermittent flashes of sunshine
the British pressed their attack
against the Germans all along the line
from point south of Cambria to the
vicinity of Lens. SO much booty was
taken in the first rush of this new as
sault that it has not all been reported,
but it is said large number of guns
were captured. More than 9,OCc have
been made prisoners.

there is intense.

proud that the taking of the coveted
Vimy ridge has fallen to the lot Of her

and all who have taken part in this
splendid achievement"

The British offensive between Lens
and st. Quentin, with which the spring

which is still in progress, has proved
even more successful than the earlier
accounts indicated.
Gen. Sir Douglas Haig reports that
yesterdays captures exceeded 5000
men, while 40 guns fell into the hands
of his troops.
The Canadians, who had one Of the
hardest bits of the front to contend
with. are in complete occupation of
the famous Vimy ridge, even II, east
ern slopes having been cleared of Ger
mans. THE Canadians also have re-
pulsed German counterattacks. These
return blows by the. Germans indicate
the Importance they attach to this po-
sition, whence the conquerors look
down over the plain of Douai.

Where system rules the very tools.

In saving every beet.
