prosecuted for the winning OF the
war and for charitable work among
the peoples Of devastated European
countries, or In our own home land?
II so, do your best to meet your
obligations. They are sacrcd--as
sacred as any pledge that YOU have
ever made. You regard your pledges
made with your fcllow-man in the
ordinary course OF business trans
actions as inviolable. The pledges
that have been made to the govern
lnent and to the various charitable
causes that have come to the front
as incidents of the great war over
seas are not one whit less binding
on ones honor than the business
pledge or the pledges made i'm the

CREAM BUYING ORDER
HAS BEEN CHANGED

Fargo, Sept. 18.-The order recent
ly issued by the local food administra-
tion of North Dakota, calling for the
consolidation of cream buying stations
has been temporarily suspended by
the administration, and committee
of the administration in Washington
is mapping out a program for uniform
control of the cream buying agencies.
This announcement was made to-
day as the result of inquiry made at
the food administration office in Far
go.
According to DR.. E. F. Ladd, the
federal food administrator for North
Dakota, the new order will be made
applicable to several western states,
including Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ne
braska, and probably others. :.
Under the original order issued In
North Dakota, it was proposed that
cream buying should be centralized
into the hands Of one man. The
scheme met with objection and has
never been carried into operation.

When the claws met, then the arms

They took a chance, for the enemy
