ASKS Big
ACREAGE
Governor Calls on State to do
Its Share in Solving Ma
tional Food Problem. :,

Bismarck, N. D., April 12.--Governor
Frazier late last night issued procla-
nation calling attention to the govern
ment reports showing the probable
yield of winter wheat in the United
States to be fifty million bushels short
of 1915 and calling upon the people of
North Dakota to plant every available
acre.
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Macdonald in a bulletin is
sued to teachers superintendent and
school officers emphasizes the import
ance Of increasing the yield of North
Dakota farms and urges that the older
boys and girls be permitted to do their
part. He suggests that managing
boards plan to open schools not earlier
than October / that a 69ring vaca-
ton of four or Ave weeks be allowed.
and that the schools be kept. open in
June and July, when there is less and
cheaper farm work to do. He estimates
this plan would make available the
labor of some 5000 older boys at a
time when labor is scarce and wages
high.
Mr.. Macdonald's appeal follows:
AS you know, We are nation at
war with an enemy powerful and re-
sourceful. Each and every teacher and
school official and each and every pub
lie and private school must now show
in a definite and concrete way their
loyalty to the cause of human rights
and blood-bought liberties. The
schools in town and country. the city
high school as well as the one-room
rural school, have their part to play
in the worlds great tragedy. At what
ever cost in blood and treasure. we
must do our part to help bring the
war to speedy and successful end.
The loyalty to be shown, and the
services to be performed are Of two
fold nature. 80
First: Every teacher, superintend-
ent and school board officer should
make sdonbly sure that no word or
deed of theirs could be construed to
mean disloyalty. Everywhere above
the schools the flag should float;
everywhere the soldiers in arms and
their dependents should be treated
with especial respect and considera-
ton; and everywhere songs of loyalty
and sentiments of patriotic pride
should be a part of the daily school
program. Let the schools of the state,
In matters pertaining to the ideals of
liberty, Justice and equality and fra
ternity show that they are the citadels
OF these ideals of the people
Second: The national government
has issued a request asking that every
available acre be put into crop. In
this respect our state has a special
and major duty to perform. More
than ever before we will not only
need to garner carefully the products
of our farms, but to increase greatly
the yield Of these farms "A large
part Of the world will look to us for
food. Soldiers, to battle bravely, must

Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the
Red Cross War Council, pays tribute
to the women of America who are
assisting so nobly in the Red Cross
work, as follows
Il would rather have $5O,OOO,OOO
and the women of the country mobil-
lied in the Red Cross organizations
than to have $5OO,OOO,OOO to work with
and be deprived of their volunteer
services and cooperation"
The Red Cross is doing more than
helping alleviate. the suffering of war.
1t is helping to end the war; For the
work it does, not only among the sol
dlers, but among the families of the
soldiers, is a vital factor in maintain
ing the morale of the fighting men.
General Pershing himself recognized
this almost directly he reached
France, according to Davidson's state
ments, and he asked at once that the
Red Cross do something to keep up
the spirit of the French. And it is
being done, with aid and comfort to
the wives and the children of Frances
noble sons.
The Russian leader, Kerensky, also
called upon the American Red Cross
for aid in sustaining the morale of
the Russian troops.
"And the American Red Cross re-
Piled said Dawson, "by shipping
100000 tins of milk for the babies of
the Russian soldiers"
Out of this war there is no organic
alton will gain greater glory than the
National Red Cross of the United
States. It's ministering hand has been
felt in all the countries at war, not
excluding Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary.
Equipped with the supplies pur-
chased with funds gladly and unhesi-
tatingly given by our folks at home"
its workers have gone forth into the
highways and byways of war-torn Eu-
rope, giving with wholly impartial
hands to the sick and the needy and
the suffering.
In the wake of destruction they
have sought to build up again. For
the distressed of the war-ravaged
lands their coming has been as of
ministering angels. In the midst of
sorrow they have stood for hope.
To the war council is due the reor-
ganization of the Red Cross. 1t was
created on the tenth of last May by
the President of the United States to
deal with the special needs and emer-
gencies created by this war. These
men of national reputation are giving
all of their time and energies to Red
Cross work.
