to furthering the interests of the
War Savings campaign in South Da-
kota. War Savings meetings are to

All who. are able should pledge
themselves to save and invest to the
limit allowed by law.

Overgaard was in town when the
painters arrived and found his house
covered upon his return.
Thousands of persons in automo-
biles visited the place to see the re-
suit of the painters work and general
approval Of the job has been express
ed here.
Overgaard has been generally re-
ferred to as a Stacker since he sue
ceeded in being placed in the fourth
class of the draft on the ground that
he Is engaged in agriculture. He
was married several months ago.
C. n. Overgaard, father of the
young man, is a wealthy resident of
Sioux Falls. 1t is alleged the young
man has supervision of a farm of 400
acres owned by his father. Several
men are employed on the Overgaard
farm. The fact that other farm boys
in this vicinity whose mean are
much smaller have responded to the
call to the colors without seeking de-
ferred classification is believed to
have prompted the painters. No at
tempt has yet been made to arrest
those responsible for daubing the
Overgaard residence and 1t is believ-
ed none will be.

Huron, June 25.-Order No. 4 of

has been received enthusiastically by
German speaking people at various

by, under various p~retexts, the Ian

CUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in Consump.
ton Very Great.
Food Administration corrects Falso
Impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

Mathematician press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun-
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation Of wheat and
-four. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect of the wheat
situation, both present and prospec-
tive, intensifes the need for the great
est possible limitation In the American
consumption Of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
In the slightest degree relaxed 1t would
result In serious want for the people
Of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrations estimate
of the position on the first of June In
dicates q total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
In country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 100000 BUSH
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export IL we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 100000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption Is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available In flour until the middle of
August or early September, although
In the extreme South 1t will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with its increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. II we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the
willing building up of great national
reserves.

EXCESS PROFITS TAX
GOVERNMENT WILL PUT LARGE
FORCE OF CHECKERS OUT
In STATE TO GO OVER
FIGURES.

Sioux Falls, June 25.-Within the
next few weeks the government will
put into the field in South Dakota a
large force of men to check up on
the excess profits act statements.
Under this law corporations and indi-
viduals were required to make state
ments before June Is Of their excess
profits and the field men will 60 over
these statements carefully and COM
pare them with the books from which
they were taken.
Now in order to qualify for this
work a man must have skill. tact and
some technical training and while
there are many applications for the
number of places that will be open
even in this state. not everyone can
fill IL bill. 1t Is said to require any
where from three to six mt nths trav-
cling in company with IN who
knows the work. before the new man
can become sufficiently familiar with
It's details to handle II himself. For
that reason these excess pr Fits men
will be found in pairs for the next
few months to come.
w. M. Kelley. deputy internal rev.
enue inspector In charge of this dis
trict, has been called to Aberdeen
and will probably be appointed q spe-
cial agent. He is on the eligible list
and Is said to have been giving con-
siderable attention to excess profits
work.
1t is said that the intent of the
government in checking up these
statements is not so much with the
thought of possible fraud as to detect
rrors that have been made unwit-
tingly.
