RESENT MOVE
CALLING ON j. S.
FOR FARM AID
Minot Committee Favors
Bonding of County to
Finance Farmers

Minot, N. D., Dec. 1s.-Chairman
A. A. Robinson Of the agricultural
committee of the war work division
Of the Minot Association of Com
merce, resents the move of the state
Council of Defense in asking the
government for aid for farmers in
securing seed and feed before the
counties have had an opportunity to
finance themselves.
Mr.. Robinson thinks each county
in western North Dakota, the Sec
ton hit hardest by the drouth, will
be able to finance the farmers for
seed and feed through. county bonds.
This is especially true OF Ward
county, Mr.. Robinson's committee
has presented a petition to the coun-
ty commissioners asking the bonding
Of the county for $250.OO0. The COM
mittee figures that only about ten
per cent of the farmers Of Ward
county will be unable to secure funds
from banks in their locality for this
purpose, and the bonds would be is
sued to assist this small proportion
Of the agriculturists.
County Should DO Part.
The agricultural committee has
outlined a plan whereby the county
would not lose one dollar. At a meet
ing Of the county board on Dec. 90
it is expected that the members will
take some definite action along the
line suggested by MIR. Robinson. He
states that the government aid would
not be available in any event until
each county vitality interested had
done all in its power to finance the
farmers needing aid. He says, that
calling on the government first OF all
is the wrong way and that each
county should first get busy and do
its part.
ION behalf Of the farmers of the
western part of the state and east
ern part Of Montana, please urge the
food administration to set reasonable
prices on feed mill" This is the sub
stance of a message which the con-
servation committee of the war work
division Of the Minot Association of
Commerce wired representatives at
Washington and DR.. e. f. Ladd, food
administrator for North Dakota. II.
is the first shot taken by the COM
mittee at the mounting prices of mill
feed. -.
"Our farmers must buy all Of their
feed and are paying nearly as much
for feed as they get for their wheat
It will be necessary to bond in west
ern North Dakota counties to finance
farmers for feed and seed and re-
duction in mill feed prices will HELM

REV. THOMPSON
ACCEPTS CALL
Former Hunter Pastor
Now of Mandan, to Leave
For Deer Lodge

Mandan, n. D., Dec. 1S.-Rev. F.
w. Thompson, pastor of the Mandan
Presbyterian church, announced yes
terday he had accepted the unani-
nous call of the Deer Lodge Presby-
terrain church, Deer Lodge, Mont,
and that his pastorate in Mandan
would come to a close on Sunday,
Dec, 80. at which date the pulpit
will be declared vacant.
The Presbyterian church of Deer
Lodge, is one of the oldest in the
state Of Montana, having been Or
ganized in 1872. Recently a new
church was presented to the congre-
cation by a family identified with
the congregation since the early
days. The building cost over $4,000
and is equipped with an electric
power pipe organ at an additional
cost Of $4,000. The old church still
stands and will be remodeled and
fitted as a parish house where So
cables and other church activities
can be held. The pipe organ Of the
old church has been sold and the
proceeds will be applied to the ex-
pense Of altering the old building.
Deer Lodge is one of the oldest
towns in Montana and is the county
seat OF Powell county. 1t lies in the
heart of the Rockies, the present
population being some four thousand
odd. The Montana Presbyterian COL
lege is located there and in addition
to the Presbyterian church there
are also congregations of the Chris
tian, Episcopal, Roman Catholic and
NJ. e. (southern) denominations. The
main lines of the Northern Pacific
and the Chicago Milwaukee roads
give efficient service to the town.
The Milwaukee road has its division
headquarters there and maintains
large shops which give employment
to large numbers Of men.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson has been pas
tor Of the Mandan church for almost
three years. During this time the old
church was outgrown and a new
edifice costing about $4,000 was
built and dedicated this year. Prior
to going to Mandan Rev. Mr.. Thomp-
son was pastor Of the Presbyterian
church at Hunter, Cass county, for
three years.

Rolled Oats Mullins two
cups rolled oats i'm one and one-half
cups buttermilk or sour milk for
about eight hours. For supper start
in the morning. When ready to bake
add two tablespoons margarine, one
well-beaten egg, one cup white flour,
one teaspoon each of salt and baking
soda sifted with the flour IL wanted
sweet, add a tablespoon Of sugar,
but they are delicious without the
sugar. Bake in well-greased muffin
pans about twenty minutes Eat hot
with margarine. Any left over can
be warmed to taste like fresh baked
by putting them in a paper bag in a
hot oven for a few minutes.
Cornmeal Muffins-One cup corn
meal, one cup flour. one teaspoon
soda, one teaspoon salt, one-quarter
cup mOlasses, one cup sour milk, two
eggs, two tablespoons lard or butter.
Sift together cornmeal, -four salt.
Dissolve soda in the sour milk, add
to 1t the sifted Ingredients, then add
mOlasses and beat thoroughly. Add
eggs we'll beaten and, lastly, the
melted lard or butter, as you prefer
but butter being so high you can use
lard or compound with good results.
Bake in hot CREASED pan in mOder-
ately hot oven for half an hour. This
will give twelve good sized mullins.
Dat Flake Bread-Two cups oat
four cups boiling water; let
stand till night. Add one-half cup
brown sugar, salt, two-thirds cake
yeast. Make yeast at noon with po-
tato water. Set bread at night and
mix into a hard loaf. All the wheat
flour used Is in mixing into hard loaf.
Brown Bread with crusts-A two
quart pan of crusts, soak in just
enough warm water to soften. Dis
solve and add one yeast cake, one
cup moIasses, raisins If desired, three
tablespoons sugar, one spoonful
two quarts -four (sifted).
Let stand over night. In the morn
ing make into three loaves, let stand
till light and bake one hour. This
recipe saves one quart Of fresh flour
and is very delicious. May be bit
to make the first time, but
one learns. 1t is the best way to
use up crusts, especially in family
where small children are cutting
teeth and crusts hurts the gums.
Children often form lasting dislike
for crust If forced to eat 1t with
tender gums.

and Brig. Gen. C. H. McKinstry.
Below is Samuel M. FELTON,.

washington, d. c., Dec. 1S.-Spe-
cial.)-In May, President Wilson
called for the enlistment OF nine
regiments of engineers. Then in
August the call was increased to
thirty-four regiments. The enlist
ing of these regiments, their mobili-
Zation and training at camps and
their sailing passed quietly and little
was heard of these men until a week
or so ago the news dispatches car
ried stories of how a little group of
Americans had thrown down their
shovels to take up rifles and help the
British when the Americans were
caught in a turning movement of the
Germans near Gouzeaucourt.
This handful of men who snatched
glory out of the German surprise
were the first of the many thousands
of engineers to draw headline" at
tention to their work over there.
But it is a gigantic task these
thousands are rushing to completion
behind the French and British lines.
They are organizing troops for luna
Der supply, road construction, min
ing, mapping, camoufiage work, gas
and flame work. They have already
taken over the French railways for
operation and by spring twelve hun
dred miles of French highways will
be operated by American road ex-
perts..
Expense 10 Tremendous.
The engineer equipment Uncle
Sam has bought for the men over
there already totals more than the
material, equipment and supplies for
the Panama canal during the ten
years it was under construction.
The man of the engineers are I'M
der command of Brigadier General
c. H. McKinstry, who opened the
first recruiting Office for the regi-
ments ia New York last May He
was then a lieutenant colonel and
commanded the first regiment sent
over. He made it his aim to enlist
men who could, lay track, run loco
motives and string wires rather than
college men. ..-
Another leader of these "men be-
hind he guns" is Lit Col. William
Barclay Parsons, designed Of New
York's first subway, who was sent
to London and Paris with a detach-
ment of engineers to study condi-
tons before the recruiting began.
Parsons was a major in the reserves
at that time.

and. unless feed can be bought at
reasonable prices a lot Of stock Will
be lost. Quick action is necessary.
Jumps About $40 q Tom.
The cause for this action was due
to the increasing price Of mill feed
during the past week when It boosted
in price about $40 a ton, nearly
reaching the per pound that farmers
received for their wheat last year.
Furthermore the association con-
tends that the price OF corn and oats
is entirely too high, and ii was felt
that the price Of mill feed had some
thing to do with the high price of
these two commodities.
The milIers are also at a disad-
vantage to comply with the orders OF
the food administration with mill
feed material so high in price. The
price of flour has been set by the
food administration, but the mount
ing price of mill feed causes farmers
to become discouraged and who
would be in favor OF having the gov
eminent regulate these prices. Nine
tenths OF the farmers in this part
of the state have their winters sup
ply of flour. A reduction in the price
Of mill feed will be an actual boon.

(By Associated Press.)

Boston, Dec. 1S.-Dr. James l.
Barton, secretary of the American
board OF commissioners for foreign
missions, yesterday made public a
letter which he wrote to Senator
Lodge, senior member Of the foreign
relations committee, on the occasion
Of the senator's recent speech in
favor Of q declaration of war on
Turkey and of familiarity with the
Estimation gained from administrative
responsibility for many American in
iBtitutions in that country extending
over a period OF rs years, DIR. Bar
ton set forth several reasons against
such action by the United States.
Stating that the senator's char
sRcterization Of the Turk and atrOci-
tiles he has committed were none too
stfeng," DR.. Barton said that after
5ong conversations with scores of re-
Isponsible Americans who have re-
turned from Turkey since diplomatic
gTelations were broken off, he had
I''been Inevitably led to the following
INonciusions:

| "That both Bulgaria and Turkey
are under the military rule and
domination Of the Germans, without
power of throwing off that rule. In
Turkey, for instance, the minister of
fwar. Envcr Pasha, is thought to be

strength was 2,100 men and 256 Of
ficers. Today 1t is $1,000 men and
more than $500 officers. And the
recruiting Of engineers is being
pushed.
Furnish Railroads Complete.
/, Albert CIaveilIe, then under secre-
tary Of transportation in the French
government, who was in charge OF
all transportation in the zone Of the
French armies, said after we began
to send men to Europe:
"The best service that could be
rendered to France by the regiments
of engineers now being organized In
the United States would be to bring
over here equipment necessary to re-
pair those railroads, canals, and
bridges that the Germans have de-
stroyed." >"
The war department in a state
ment last month said that the engi-
neers have undertaken the gigantic
task OF furnishing railroads COM
pIete from the United States for
operation in France" Word of the
splendid work Of the road builders in
France, having reached Italy. is re-
sponsible for American engineers to
reconstruct their lines of transpor-
tation. -.-a.-
One of the leading men in the
work of getting the engineers for the
service is Samuel M. FELTON,, vice.
president of the Chicago Great West

opened an Office in Washington and
has recruited men whose peace time
salaries range from $1,000 to $4,000

WANT PERMISSION.

Charles T. Hamilton, at present of Douglas, but who is we'll known in Bisbee. was in Phoenix on Tuesday The purpose of his visit was to ascer- tain whether or not he could acquire title to mineral ground in the Fort Huachuca military reservation. Ham ilton and s. A. Gardanear own con siderable mineral land in the south east corner of the military reserya- tion. The mineral deposit is tung- sten and they are building a 1O-ton mill which will be in operation with in 30 days. The southeast corner of this reservation is heavily mineraliz- ed with tungsten and as the govern ment requires a large amount of this mineral in it intuition factories for hardening steel, Hamilton and Gar darnear thought perhaps they could get a permit to work the ground. AS the United States land office had no authority to permit their acquiring possession of the ground, they will take the matter up with the secretary of war.
