ONE MAN SAYS WHAT
THE WORLD SHALL EAT
BE PASSES ON EVERYTHING THAT
is EXPORTED FROM THIS COUN-
TRY FOR FOREIGN CONSUME.
TI0N.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. "a
lone mana college professor-is lit
orally feeding the world today. This
man is DR.. Raymond Pearl, of the food
administration and exports licensing
council.
Upon the roster of the food admin
istration the name reads:
DIR. Raymond Pearl, statisticion.'
But DR.. Pearl is far more than a
mere expert accountant Every ex-
Iportation of foodstuffs from the United
States passes through his hands,
If England or France desire wheat
it is DR.. Pearl who is asked by the
exports licensing council to recommend
whether they shall have it. This is sim
ply because DR.. Pearl has at his hand
at all times information on just how
much wheat both England and France
have, and just what their needs are.
In the office of DR.. Pearl there are
files filed with information Of the
food supplies of the world. Field
gents have reported on how large the
food stocks are in every allied and
reutral country. Even Germany has a
place in the files, for tab is kept al
ways on the food supplies of the enc
my country.
Needs of the Allies and the neutrals
is scientifically stated. DR.. Pearl and
a corps of experts have estimates of
the food needs of the Allies, shifting
from day to day and meeting changed
conditions. These are based upon past
and present conditions, with records of
consumption for the past two years as
a basis.
/ In the files in this Office there is val
liable information which may serve to
incriminate neutral countries. If a
neutral asks for fats, from these files
there comes a record of the produc-
ton Of the fats in the neutral seeking
aid from the United states. There is
also an accompanying record of what
has been done with the fats produced
If It is a reasonable surmise that the
neutral has sacrificed it's fats to Ger
many, figures to back this surmise are
sent to the exports council with rec

She was ready to sleep, and she lay
on my arm,
In her little frilled cap so fine,
With her golden hair hanging out at
the edge,
Like circle of noon sunshine,
And l hummed the old tune of Banbury
Cross
And Three Men Whe put Out to Sea;
When she sleepily said as she closed
her blue eyes;
Papa, what would you take for
me?"
And 1 answered: A dollar, dear little
heart"
And she slept, baby-weary with play,
But held her warm in my love-strong
arms
And 1 rocked her and rocked away,
oh, the dollar meant all the world
to me,
The land and the sea and the sky,
The lowest depth of the lowest place,

The highest of all that's high.
All the cities, with streets and palaces,
With the people and stores of art,
would not take for one low, soft
throb
Of my loving ones little heart;
Nor all the gold that was ever found
In the busy, wealth-fnding past
Would l take for one smile of my
darlings face,
Did know it must be the last.
So l rocked my baby and rocked away,
And felt such a sweet content,
For the words of the song expressed
more to me
Than they ever before have meant.
And the night crept on, and 1 slept
and dreamed
OF things far too glorious to be,
And l awakened with lips saying close
in my can
Papa, what would you take for

SOME HEALTH HINTS

Drink without eating and eat with
out drinking.
Five glasses of water a day, none
with meals, will make you free of the
doctors.
Warm feet and cool head need no
physician.
A bath, cold if you please, hot if
you must, with good rub, starts the
day right.
If you will save your smoke until af-
ter luncheon you'll never have smok-
er's heart.
Wearing the same weight under
clothing the year around VIII save yor
lot of colds.
Dress cool when you walk and warm
when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth, was given
to breathe through.
Clean skin, clean socks, clean under
wear every day.
Don't sit still with wet feet. Walk
until you have chance to change.
Never let day pass without cover
ing four miles on foot.
See how high you can hold your head
and how deeply you can breathe
whenever you are out of doors
Hot water quick is the best thing
for a sprain.
Short shoes and shoes that don't fit
cost a lot in the long run.
Getting mad makes black marks on
the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin

When you rob the trolley car COM
pany of nickel by walking you add
dime to your deposit Of health.
You'll never get the govt from walk
ing.

she fouts the mentally exhausted.
The best record in golf is the record
she has made of restored health to the

completed and ready to turn over to
the Dickinson Grocery Company will

$5O, ,O0O. No expense has been spared
to make the building modern in every
respect, and in order to do this a
great many changes have been made
in the original plans, new features
being added that were not included

Dickinson Young
Men Take OUer
The Boston Store

A, deal was closed Wednesday even
ing for the transfer Of the stock OF
clothing, gents furnishings, etc., Of
the Boston store to A. c. Pagenkopf
and Fred J. Gerlich, who will take
possession as soon as the invoice of
the stock is completed. The firm of
Schwartz & Singer have been in pos
session of the Boston since last July
when they took over the stock OF
the Model Clothing Company:
These young men are well known
in Dickinson and surrounding country,
both having been engaged with differ
ent mercantile establishments here
for the past ten years. They came
tout to this country together from
their homes in Mapleton, Mimi, and
located on homesteads in Bowman
county. Later they came to Dickin-
son and Mr.. Pagenkopf associated
himself with the Dickinson Mercantile
Company, where he was, engaged for
three and half years, and Mr.. Ger
Itch was employed at the Lish hard
ware store for one and a half years.
Mr.. Pagenkopf was with the Hub for
about six years, the last five of
which he had an interest with the
firm of Jessen Bros. and severed his
connection with the firm the first OF
the year. Mr.. Gerlich has been with
the firm Of Soules & Butler for the
past eight years. . =.
! Practically all of their business life
has been spent in Dickinson and the
experience they have had in their re-
spective lines Of business has especi-
ally fitted them to enjoy prosperous
partnership business in their chosen
line. Their many friends and busi-
ness associates are very glad to
know that they are to make Dlckln-
son their future home. g
The store room will be entirely re-
modelled at the conclusion OF the work
of taking inventory. New fixtures
will be added and the firm will spare
no expense to make this one OF the
most up-to-date clothing establish
ments in this section Of the state,
One member Of the firm will leave
within few days for Chicago to pur-
chase an entire new stock Of goods,
and what new equipment is required
to properly display their various IS Lines.
The business room, n which lis one
door east Of the Dakota National
Bank, has been used for clothing
store for the past thirteen years, it
being the, home Of the Hub until
about five years ago when it was
moved to the new Jessen block.
The young men have adopted a
clever scheme to, get a suitable name
for their store and are offering cash
prize of $40 to school children for a
nama ammo 11ncenent. of which is made
elsewhere in this issue.
