PROPER LOADING
TO AVOID WASTE
Greater Care on Part of Shippers
in Packing Perishable Pro-
duce Is Urged.
HEAVIER LOADS ARE CARRIED
Heavy Demands on Railroads Due to
War Conditions Have Increased
Difficulties in Handling Fruits
and Vegetables.

It is not enough to select, grade, and
pack perishable produce carefully; it
must be properly loaded in the cars to
prevent food waste. Many thousands
of pounds Of fruits and vegetables that
were not properly loaded in freight
cars arrive at large market centers in
such condition that they must be re-
packed and sold at low prices, while
some cargoes are practically ruined
from shifting and lack Of ventilation in
transit.
But the loss is not borne entirely by
the producer and shipper, for today,
with the nation at war, every freight
car must haul more cargo, and i'm
proper loading, which wastes food, also
wastes car space, because cars loaded
carelessly do not serve the nations
needs

be done? The answer Is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables. drink plenty of water
between meals, and take an uric acid

Anuric double strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first

After a brief pause we went ahead.
On the evening of August we reached
a farmyard near Duren. Our company
was billeted in barn. No one knew
what we had to do. Ignorant of the
purpose of our being sent so near the
Belgian border we laid down on our
beds of straw. Something had to
certainty.
How few suspected that would be
the last night for many of us on Ger
man ground. An alarm took us from
our beds at 3 a. IN. The company
gathered and the captain demonstrate
ed the war situation. AS TO the direc-
ton of the march he himself was ig-
norant.
Scarcely half an hour later 80 big
trucks drove up and stopped on the
road before our quarters. The driv-
ers also were ignorant and waited for
orders. Discussion of our destination
started afresh. The orderlies who
had been keeping their ears open said
we would enter Belgium that day.
Others contradicted them, no one
knew for certainty.
But the order to march did not come
and in the evening we went back to
our straw. But the rest was
short. At l a. m. we were again
aroused and honored by speech from
our captain. He said we were at war
with Belgium. He told us to show
ourselves brave, deserve the iron cross
and bring honor to Germany. Then he
continued:

FOREWORD
Coeydgh BY Detroit Free Preu

This is a true story Of the
invasion of Belgium and
northern France at the be-
ginning of the world war,
written by an officer of the
German army who took part
in the mad rush toward
Paris. SiCkened by the
atrocities committed upon
civilians and soldiers, he de-
serted after several months
service and finally made his
way to the United States.
His disclosure of TIE un-
speakabIe cruelties perpe-
trated by the German SOL
diers, under orders from
their officers. is one of the
most sensational documents
the war has produced.

DON'T WASTE CAR SPACE

You know that, at this time,
food is precious and that none
Of it can be allowed to go to
waste.
Do you know that, at this time,
freight car space Is equally
precious and that to waste 1t is
to invite disaster?
When shipments Of produce
and other perishable food prod
ucts are not properly packed In
the car, they fare badly and
there is loss of food.
When produce, vegetables and
the like are not properly packed
in the car, there is loss of equal
ly valuable car space.
For your own protection from
money loss, and for the protec-
ton of the country from food
loss and shipping loss, exercise
scrupulous care to see that ship
ments are packed properly in
the car.

population Of the country-contrib-

that it came from every part of the

ON TO GET
farm LABORERS
FOR FALL WORK
Government Labor Com
missioner To Begin
Work This Week

Bismarck, N. D., June 3.-North
Dakota's big farm labor drive which
will be relied upon to furnish help for
the harvesting of the greatest wheat
crop this state has ever known will
be launched this week by John B,
Brown, United States farm help spe-
cialist, in the offices Of Commissioner
Of Agriculture and Labor Hagan.
Mr.. Brown is writing the chairman
Of each county council of defense ask
ing that he recommend a substantial
farmer to be chairman of the u. s..
farm labor reserve committee in his
county. Each county reserve chair
man will name his own committee, to
consist Of a banker, a merchant and
a farmer, and, this committee in turn
will name a b-committee in each
municipality, to which will fall the
task Of actually naobilizing farm help.
Signing up for this work will be
entirely voluntary upon the part of
the city people, but with the spirit
now prevailing in North Dakota no
difficulty in obtaining all the assist
anCe necessary is anticipated. 1t is
Mr.. Browns opinion that to be pre-
pared for all possible contingencies,
North Dakota must have a farm labor
reserve of at least 10000. These men
will sign an agreement to work a GER
tain number of days in their own To-
calities at going wages. They will be
called upon only if and as needed, and
those in the more non-essential
trades and professions viii be given
the first opportunity to help.
Kansas starts out it's harvest season
with IS for ten-hour day the pre-
vailing wage. 1t is predicted that Sc
will be the standard wage for harvest
hands in North Dakota, and this
stipend, or whatever the standard
may be, will be paid the volunteer
helpers. It Is expected that there will
be more cooperation among the
farmers themselves than in former
years; that neighbors will pitch in
and help one another with the ,har-
vest to a greater degree than has
been customary in the past. This
can be done, because as a rule all the
fields, even in one community, do not
ripen at the same time. There is no
lack of threshing rigs and other
equipment. Man power is the big de-
mand, and this Farm Help Specialist
Brown hopes to supply through his
federal farm labor reserve.

f.. Agricultural Workers,
General Fraser accompanied his
letters to local boards with note
specifically calling their attention to
the Importance OF sparing men who
are actually engaged in the planting
and cultivation Of crops, in making
up quotas. In the event that any
county's quota cannot otherwise be
filled, it is directed that farmers be
selected from class one who in the
boards judgment may best be
spared. 1T is to be decided in the
interest OF the nation, in respect to
the necessary production of crops,
and not in the interest Of the indi-
vtdual,' says the adjutant general.
1.-THE demands Of the army are such
that soldiers must be furnished, and
the quota filled, but the skilled far
mer must not be taken, il possible to
avoid it. The matter, however, is
left to the judgment of the members
of local boards. You are In close
touch with conditions in your respec-
tive counties, and have sources Of in
formation not available to the pro-
vost marshal general.
It is feared that this call will hit
some of the most purely agricultural
communities hard, In a number OF
these practically all class one men,
except those engaged in agriculture.

FARGO GIVES
FOR SAVING OF
HORSES IN WAR
Contributions Being Re-
ceived For Purchase Of
Motor Ambulance

Contributions are being taken in
Fargo for the New York branch Of
the American Red Star Animal Re-
lief soCitay for the purchase of a
horse motor ambulance for the vet
Urinary division of the American
EXpeditionary forces in France to
aid in the relief of horses in activ-
tiles incident to the war.
The announcement was made to-
day by Mrs. M. F. Steele. who is di-
recting the drive. F. A. Irish, vice
president Of the First National bank,
is treasurer Of the fund.
"A great many horses are hurt in
the fighting now in progress in
France" Mrs. Steele said, and with
the scarcity Of draft animals at this
time, especially those fit for the army,
1t is Of considerable Importance that
they be conserved as far as possible.
There Is the humanitarian side, too.
No American would care to have an
animal which had rendered q service
to his country suffer needless pain.
Dogs, which are also used by the
American forces, are included, but
the ambulance will be principally
for horses. England has its Blue
Star society for the same purposes"
No branch has been organized in
Fargo, 1t having been decided that
Fargo could best assist in the work
by raising funds for the New York
branch. Mrs. Steele said. The con-
tributions thus far received have
been voluntary, and no intensive
campaign will be made if the re-
Spouse nets a fair amount.
The Century Dancing club gave
the fund a good start with a con-
tribution of $50. representing money
saved through little economies in
dancing parties last winter.
Contributions should be made to F.
A. Irish, at the First National bank,
or to Mrs. Steele.

Mr.. Still, personal acquaintance of
A. G. Townley, president OF the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league when the
latter was a Socialist soapbox orator
Of the prairiea, insists that it is time
for the farmers OF North Dakota to
open their eyes to the danger of
Townley leadership, and repudiate it.
Mr. Still relates how Town1ey, in
an address in Beach in June, 1917,
sneered at him (Sul)~ because Still

mittee Of Golden Valley in charge of
the Liberty loan campaign.
Farmers Are Worsted -.
Mr.. Still is a farmer, formerly a
member Of the Nonpartisan league,
and he sets forth his view of the
situation in the following manner:
when the league leaders advocat-
ed and caused to be passed tax law
which increased the land schedule
of valuation per cent above mer-
chandise, and placed real estate in
the same class as bank stock, re-
duced the tax on all classes of lux
uries to a minimum, so that the far
mer has been compelled to shoulder
twice his share Of taxation, 1 con-
tend that it is high time for the far

ganda of the league leadership, even

do not" says Mr.. Still. y.
