John j. O'Connor Of the Central di-
vision to give the most vigorous
support to the campaign of the new
director to make Of North Dakota a
leading state in Red Cross activities
Every man, woman and child in the
state will be given opportunity ia
identify themselves with the Red
Cross and help in its work of MAX
ing the country fully prepared to
support the army and navy and
care for the dependent families of
the fighting men.
Work Without Pay.
Red Cross state directors work
without pay, devoting their time and
their valuable business training to
the country through a patriotic de-
sire to give help where help is most
needed. Mr.. Young is but following
the example of Acting Chairman
Wadsworth of Washington. Mr..
Wadsworth accumulated a large
fortune in business and retired while
still a young man. When II appear
ed that the United States was about
to be drawn into the war, he offered
himself to the cause, and not only
devoted his vast executive ability
and successful business acumen to
the conduct of the Red Cross with

own fortune in the work. Mr.. Wads-
worth is also serving the country on
the Red Cross war council, which
recently raised $115,000,000 to pay
the expenses of the Red Cross in the
next six months. The chairman of
the war council is Henry p. Dawson
of J. p. Morgan g. Co.
Frederick w. Stevens of Detroit,
Red Cross director for Michigan, al
so a former member of ]. p. Morgan
& Co., is another who has brought
great business ability to the task of
the business of building up a strong
Red Cross.
"Mr. Young will start at once to
organize a Red Cross chapter in
every community and aid the chap
tiers to build up a membership repre-
sentative of their great state and
make it a power in the land. He will
cooperate closely with the Central
division office at Chicago and the
national organization at Washing
tom.
One of the Lowest.
North Dakota was among the low
est Of the states in per capita con-
tributions in the recent big drive for
Red Cross funds. South Dakota
gave nine cents per capita; New
Mexico 10 cents, and Wyoming, sew
en- cents. These were the only states
which made a poorer showing than
North Dakota.

GOVERNMENT
IN CONTROL
OF EXPORTS
Provision of the Espionage
Act Put Into Effect by
Wilson
MANY COMMODITIES
ARE INCLUDED
America First, Allies Next,
Neutrals Get What
is Left
(Ry Associated Prass.l

Washington, July 9.-Government
control OF American exports author
lied in a provision of the espionage
dent wilson last night with the issn-
ance OF a proclamation putting under
license shipments, Of the most i'm
portant commodities, to all countries.
In a statement accompanying the
the governments policy will be, first,
to give consideration to American
needs; next, to meet as far as pos
sible, the requirement of the allies,
and. lastly. to supply the neutral
countries wherever practicable. It is
made clear that every effort will be
made to see that no supplies reach
the central powers.
The commodities put under control
o fEa coke nsI1 fSH oil fond and
grains. flour and meal, fodder and
feeds, meats and fats, pig iron, steel
billets, ship plates and structural
shapes, scrap iron and scrap steel,
ferro manganese fertilizers, arms am
munitions and explosives.
The inclusion in the proclamation
lends color to statements that the ad-
ministration is considering the ad-
visibility of a complete embargo for
sixty days on all food shipments to
give the country time to ascertain
the amount of Its supplies and to give
allied and neutral countries an OPP
portunity to present a full program
OF their requirements.
Through control of coal and fuels.
the government intends to take a
firm grasp on shipping. An arrange
ment under negotiation will give the
American and British governments
control of not only all allied tonnage
but of neutral vessels as well. Ships
now on runs not regarded as neces-s
sary to successful conduct of the
war will be forced into trades con-
now held in port through fear of
submarine attack will be required to
go into service.
Control of iron and steel was made
necessary by war demands on the
iron and steel industries. A shortage
of steel in this country is threatened
because of the large amount that is
being diverted to munitions manu-
facture and the construction Of the
governments merchant feet.

One FAMILY TO
WIN GREAT WAR
w. A. Scott, Home From
Eastern Trip, Sees Food
Control as Vital Issue
CANNOT TEAR
DOWN ANY PORTION
Every Section, and ALI
Glasses, Must Cooperate
for Greatest Good

w. A. Scott, of Fargo, just returned
from New Hampshire and Mass
achusetts, where he spent some lit
tie time visiting scenes of his boy
| hood, comes home thoroughly imbued
with the spirit that has moved fed
eral officials. to make such a thor
oughgoing campaign for the in
crease in food production.
Down east, said Mr.. Scott this
morning, food control is a vital
problem. There, the millions look
upon food control as a measure for
bringing prices down-they are con-
sumers, and they look at the present
high prices of foodstuffs with alarm,
fearful, lest still further advances
snall make them absolutely prohibi-
i've and they study crop reports for
the western states with a new in
terest that indicates just how appre-
hensive they are that the next win
ter may find them without food.
1T is a vital thing for them, this
problem of food control. They are
gardening, it is true, and doing the
best they can, but they grow but
small percentage of the things
they require"
Mr.. Scott spent some time with an
old friend who is handling 200 head
OF cattle and has only 80 acres seed
ed to crops.
He must import feed for his cat
tie, said Mr. Scott, "and he tells
me the farmers of the west must be
getting tremendously rich because of
the prices he is compelled to pay for
the feed.
Milk is being sold in Boston at
16 cents a quart, certified milk be-
ing disposed of by my friends or
ganization. But he isn't making as
much money-in fact, he said it was
a losing proposition-as he did in
days gone by when milk prices were
considerably less.
One Great Family.
1--WE must come to a realization
Of the fact, said Mr.. Scott, that
we are one great family, we of the
United States. No one section is
independent of the other. No one
portion of our people is indepen-
dent of any other class. Just as one
member of a family is dependent on
its other members.
Just so with the nation. In this
great crisis. we are one family. AS
1t required three years to find Gen.
eral Grant, so it may require time to
find the right man in the present
crisis. President Wilson and the adj
ministration are looking for that man.
talk of government seizure of
great industries sounds good to
many, but sound economics must be
practiced now, more so than ever be-
fore. But to spur each man to the
greatest possible use of his all for
the benefit of the nation, that Is the
sound doctrine that should be
preached from enc end of the land TO
the other.

GARRICE CIGAR
STAND TOUCHED
FOR Big HAUL

Burglars, removing the hinges on
the west rear door Of the Garrick
cigar and confectionery store on
Broadway some time between the
hours of midnight and o'clock this
morning, secured cash and currency
amounting to between $40 and s120.
No arrests had been made up to q
late hour today.
The cigar stand is located Just
north of the lobby of the theatre and
1t is the belief of the proprietors,
Reineke e. McKone, and also Man
ager Ernest A. Phillips of the thea
ire, that the burglar or burglars
gained entrance into the theatre
some time Sunday while the front
doors were open and the janitor was
at work inside
Concealing himself, he waited un-
til after midnight when he broke
open the first door leading to the
cigar stand and then removed the
hinges from the second door opening
to the stand from the west. From
the condition of the wrecked cash
register, It was evident that he found
1t no easy task to get 1t open so
went upstairs into the operators
room, took bunch of tools and
pried the register open.
Exit was made through one Of the
rear doors of the theatre, which was
left open and which cannot be open
ed only from the inside. That the
work was done by some one famil-
lar with the theatre and the new
stand, is shown from the tools used
and the entrance through two doors
from the interior OF the theatre to
the cigar store.

ported they had clue which might

RESUMES CONSIDERATION
OF FOOD CONTROL BILL
Senate Has Disposed of Prohibition
Issue Temporarily at Least.
DIV Associated Press. }

~ at
Washington, July 9.-With the pro-
libition issue disposed of temporarily
at least, the senate today again took
up the food control bill in the expec-
tation that final action on the meas
ure as a whole will be reached dur
ing the week. First to be considered
was the section which would author
ize the president to commander fac
tories, packing houses, mines and
other plants and to operate them and
fix employees wages. There is con-
siderable opposition to these pro-
posals.
Pending a final decision by con-
gress on the liquor question revenue
and other related problefs cannot be
worked out. The senate voted Satur-
day to prohibit manufacture and irsa-
portation of distilled beverages only
and the house reported for prohihtt~
ing manufacture OF all intoxicants.
