GAME and FISH
BOARD CONVENES
=,
Lakes of State to be Stocked
on Gigantic Scale This
Year.

Devils Lake, July 1.-THE state
Game and Fish board held a meeting
In this city and it was decided to make
plans to stock Devils Lake with fish
on a scale that never before was UNI
dertaken. 1t became known at this
meeting that plans are under way for
the shipping into this state Of small
fish by the train. load instead of by
the care load as in former years.
These plans were made because Of
the fact that meat is scarce and that
fish will have to take the place of
meat in "a great many cases.
The propagation Of game is an
other forward undertaking the board
a taken up. 1t is proposed to es-
tablish this year, two game farms,
for the propagation Of game birds
and animals. While the location of
the farms has not been definitely de-
cided on, it is likely that one will be
at Mandan, and another in the foot
hills of the Turtle Mountains near
Bottineau. 1t is the belief of Presi-
dent MacLachIan Of the board that
within a few Years. North Dakota can
be made a "Sportsmen'e Paradise"

MEN WANT
SAVING OF FOOD
Let Small Stock Become full
Grown Before Use, Ad-
vises One Man.

Fargo, N. D., July 12.-AreS the ho-
tel men Of the nation going to take
advantage Of the present period Of
patriotic emotionalism to teach their
patrons the rudimentary lessons Of
real economy, feeling that their pa
irons will listen with a reader ear
now when appealed to on patriotic
grounds? Apparently such a pro-
paganda is being discussed by the no.
tel men. according to letters received
here recently by various proprietors
and managers.
The propaganda has to do with
creating a desire among the people to
tematic curtailment Of unnecessarily
large menus 1t has to do with. in
ducing people to eat less veal, less
lamb, less small pig with apple
sauce" 1t seeks to create a demand
for beef and mutton and bacon, which
represent the matured animals.
Waste in the United States is
known the world over said one ho-
tel man. "Our improvidence has long
been the wonder Of Europe and at
this moment Of war 1t is incumbent
food supply. One Of the best
ways to do this Is, first to cut down
on the elaborateness of the menu and
secondly, to refuse to eat the meat Of
immature animals. We should have
some sort of national legislation on
the latter subject. Argentine, I un-
derstand, by f%orbidding the killing of
male calves under one year Of age or
females under five years has i'm
mensely increased It's herds. If
lambs were allowed to grow until
they weigh As or 50 pounds instead Of
being killed at about 25 pounds our
supply Of both meat and fleece would
be greatly increased. The same con-
ditsons appertain to poultry marketed
too young"
These questions will be taken up
at a meeting of, the Northwestern
Hotelmen's association In Mime
apolis on July, r.. Prior to this con-
yention the state hotel men Of North
Dakota will meet probably in this city
to discuss food conservation as 1t APP
plies to them directly.

GRAIN GRADING
ACT ELIMINATED
Railroad Commission Fears
Constitutionality Of
Clause in Law.

Bismarck, N. D., July 12.-Fearing
for the constitutionality Of the clause
which provides for the assessing Of
a fee for each load Of grain OF other
farm products weighed and graded
under North Rakota's new grain grad
ing act, the state railway commits
sion voted to eliminate hat feature
Of the law until the courts have pass
ed on 1t. It had been estimated
a revenue Of al least $500,0 900 per
annuyn, from which the act provided
for setting aside 26 per cent each
year for the creation Of a terminal
elevator fund. With the elimination
Of this fee, the act must depend for
the payment Of inspectors salaries
and other expenses upon the $40 fee
which deputy inspectors are required
to produce. It is very doubtful wheth-
The commission also approved the
appointment by DR.. Ladd Of ]. A.
Govern, former grain grader for
the Equity Cooperative Exchange at
st. Paul, to be chief inspector under
the new act. Mr.. McGovern had 80
years experience in the farmers eie-
vator business in South Dakota be-
fore he went to st. Paul.

stitutional question. The act provides
that all grain must be inspected be-
fore it al be purchased. Therefore
there must be inspectors at every ele-
vator. The law provides for tho H.
censing of elevator men as deputy in
spectors. The constitution also holds
that no mans property may be seized
for public use without compensation.
The courts have ruled that a mans
time and services are property. There
is said to be a question of whether
deputy inspectors can be compelled to
serve without pay. If thew cannot,
the fees must be re-established or an
