Since Mr.. Ingle's story was

AMERICA MUST
SEND WHEAT OR
CANNOT
Be RESPONSIBLE

There are districts in France
which have been without bread Tor
two weeks.
Ninety-fiv per cent of the women
OF France are on the farms in an ell
fort to increase food production.
Lord Rhondda, British food admin
istrator, is authority for the state
ment that unless America sends the
allies 75,o0O,00O bushels OF wheat be-
fore April /, the allies cannot be held
responsible for food conditions that
will be found by American troops.
Americas wheat ration of ia
pounds a week per person will have
to be further reduced IL the allies
are to be fed, and the war won.
Fifty-two per cent of the French
ration is wheat products. Before
the war Frances wheat ration was
one pound, ten ounces a person. Now
the soldiers ration is 21 ounces, and
that of the civilian ten and One-half
ounces.
Wheat in India and Australia is
for lack of tonnage.
The above are excerpts of an ad-
dress made by DR.. W. j. Kerr presi-
dent Of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, at the Grand theater Sunday
evening. His subject was Food"
DR.. Kerr gave a mass of figures
showing the food situation in the
country to be nearing a crisis.
America produced 500 900, 900
bushels Of wheat in 1917, said DIR.
Kerr. This is about our normal
consumption, and there must be more
saving If we are to fulfill our obli-
cations to our allies.

The story that was reprinted
in The Normanden from The
Fargo Forum is correct-but it
ism t half the whole story. There.
is a lot more that should be said
on this subject and it will be
said. Mr.. Townley had no rea-
son to conclude that any crowd
of simple farmers had framed
up anything on him. We were
there as members of the league

tion, and all we asked or expect

Dear Sir
The writer has with much in
terest read your communication
reprinted in The Normandcn
from The Fargo Forum, not be-
ing posted on what happened at
the Bismarck meeting you refer
to, | must take it for granted
that your write-up is correct,
but cant help but come to the
conclusion that Mr.. ToWnley
considered yours and other op-
position to him as a framed up
affair, backed by the interests
you now serve, hence lost his
temper.
We must judge men by the
company they keep, and the
fact that you considered it ex-
pedient to join the Tom and
Jerry crowd who constantly en-
deavor to work in favor of the
capitalists exploiting interests
to the detriment of the produc-
ers of this and other states,
clearly indicates your position.
Hoping your newly selected
friends who in the past have
proven themselves very liberal
to those willing to betray the
peoples cause, will see to it
that you need not stick close
to the soil after this.

why He's Mad.

The thing that makes me
fighting mad; the thing that
brought out that Fargo
Forum story and that has
got me out on the road with
my coat off ready to scrap
to the last ditch is to think
that Townley, in whom the
farmers have had so much
confidence, and who could
have done so much if he had
used the Nonpartisan league
right, should like the dirty
Judas he is sell us out for a
little money. God knows if
TOwnley wanted more
money the league was will
ing to give it to him-the
league would have given
him anything within rea-
son-before that meeting
there in Bismarck TOwnley
could have had the shirt off
my back. But any Ameri-
can hates to be made a mon
key of; and it hurts to beat
the dickens when he's made
a fool of by the man who
pretends he is saving him
from somebody else. %.
