It is understood that a number Of parties who feared that the prevailing prices for food commodities might be increased owing to the food conversa- ton restrictions instituted yesterday, attempted to purchase supplies suffi- cient to last them for a considerable period but found that they could obtain only limited quantities of flour, sugar and other Staple commodties-not be- cause there is any shortage but be- cause the Food Administrator had beat them to it by limiting the sales to be made to individuals within a given period
 This rule will be strictly followed by the grocers in order to prevent food hoardlng. Customers will be allowed all that is reasonably required to meet the needs of themselves and families but no one will be allowed to lay in a big supply of any commodity. This ar engagement tends to prevent artificial shortages and increased prices.

BELTRAM WILL PAY
TRIBUTE TO HER FORMER
STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Simplicity will mark the funeral
of the late Representative Lloyd G..
Pendergast, when he will be laid
away in Greenwood cemetery tomor-
row afternoon. Yet, simple as will
lbe the last rites over this beloved
citizen they will hold much of hu-
man interest, for they will be feat
ured by the eulogy Of his life and
work by a long time bosom friend,
Attorney P. J. Russell, who will
carry out the unwritten pact made
by them in life, that the one per-
mitted to remain last in the life of
the pair should speak of his friend
and "pal" as he knew him, over his
last resting place. And it is a note
worthy fact that the dead possessed
marked ability to have performed his
part as had the one to. which has
fallen the honor.
The body will be escorted from
Ibertson's undertaking parlors at 2
O'Clock and the funeral will be pub
lie, to which all fellow townsmen of
the late Mr. Pendergast are cordially
invited. The Fourteenth battalion
band, the Home Guard, members of
the G.. A. r. and the w. R. G. will
head the cortege and citizens having
autos are asked to donate their use
for conveying the veterans and men,
bers of the w. r. G.
The burial services will be under
the direction Of the Grand Army vet

BEMIDJI BIDS Palmer
GOOD BYE MID CHEERS
AND CRASH OF MUSIC

DR.. G. M Palmer, former head of
the Beltrami County Public Safety
commission, had helped many man
to the military from Beltrami with
suitable sendoff to the blare of
martial music, the parade Of khaki
and the cheers from hundreds Of lusty
throats, and today he received the
same treatment when he boarded a
train at noon at the Great Northern
depot en- route to New York city,
VIII ere he will board ship for the bat
tie zone Of France, to take up ac-
tive work with the Y. M. C. A.
1t was a novel experience for Dr.
Palmer and the "other side' crop
ped out in the good byes, the hearty
hand clasps and genuine regret at
his leaving, although his friends
were glad his wish was being full
filled, that of doing active service
for his country.
The Fourteenth battalion Home
Guard band led the Home Guard
company under command Of Lieuten-
ant Stewart in an escort and at the
train the guard drew up and the
band played during the wait at the
station. DR.. Palmer was greeted
heartily on every hand and at times
appeared nearly overcome with emo
tion at the attention showered upon
him by his fellow townsmen. Mid
waving hats and cheers the train
pulled out, the doctor standing on
the rear platform, waving good bye.

BY JOSEPH sHAPLEN ;

United Press Correspondent
+ Stockholm, June 13.---The staff
correspondent of the Vienna Arbeiter
Zeitung here says that the food sit
uation in Austria is very serious
again. He said the food situation
in Austria is always worse than in
Germany. @
Under pressure of the January
strike, the Austrian government gave
the working men many food prom
ises but none of them have been ful-
filled. The government even prom
ised food from Ukraine, which is
highly improbable. The daily bread
ration has again been reduced and
butter costs 81 per pound. Vienna
gets less than 35 per cent normal
food rations.: Ill.,.
The mayor recently demanded the
government act Immediately to pre-
vent serious difficulties.
/ The political situation is also Sc
rious ON account Of the publication
of Emperor Karl's letter. The Reich
rats has been prolonged indefinitely.
