TUESDAY To Be :
MEATLESS DAY
Existing Rules Modified to Cut
Down Wheat Consumption
Meat Production
Increasing.

Washington, D.. c., March 5-Tempo-
rary suspension OF the meatless meal
and Of the special restrictions on pork
was announced by the food administra-
ton Saturday night as a REIMBURSEMENT
of it's food conservation program. In
creased meat production and the neces-
sity for still greater saving in wheat,
il was declared, made he change ad-
yiSable.
I'll suspension is made effective for
an indefinite period, and 1t probably
will last for three months or longer.
Since all restrictions on consumption
of mutton and lamb had been lifted
previously, the food administration now
asks the public for the time being to
deny itself meats-only beef and pork
on one day a week, Tuesday.
Increased meat consumption, officials
believe, will of itself curtail the use
of wheat, and for the present there is
no intention to add TO the restrictions
already in force against the use Of flour.
In a statement setting forth the rea-
sons for the change in the program,
Food Administrator Hoover said the
allies have made further and increased
demands for breadstuffs. these en-
larged demands being caused TO some
degree by shortage in arrivals from
the Argentine. -

DRIVE FOR BOOKS
FOR SOLDIER BOYS

Pierre, s.. d., March 6.-The State
library has received Instructions that
n big drive to secure books for the
soldiers will be held the week Of March
is 10 20. There is an imperative need
Tor books Of every good lind for the
soldiers and sailors. who are clamoring
not only for Il bit OF entertainment
after a bloody day in the trenches or
cold hours on the seas, but for books
or instruction which will enable them
To perfect themselves for life work
after the war is over. if they are spared
their lives.
Last autumn a book drive was made
IN the United States, and several IN
dred thousand were supplied by people
who responded everywhere-but that is
My a drop in the bucket To what is
now needed. Two more million books
or even more are wanted al once.
Every family in South Dakota should
take part, giving not only books they
no longer a or need, but sacrificing
for this cause books Of real value.
Taking the volumes to the local libra
rian is all that is needed to see that
they reach the soldiers. If there is no
library in the small towns. then some
other place will be designated TO receive
the books.
A definite campaign for this matter
Will be arranged for in South kota
at once-so that this state can Ego
over the top in its quota OF books for
soldiers and sailors.

JOHNSoN'S FRIENDS ARE
ACTIVE IN DISTRICT

Aberdeen, S. D., March 4.--Petitions
for placing the name of South Dakotas
congressman-soldier Royal G.. John
son, upon the republican ballot at the
May primary for reelection from the
second district are now being
ed. The petitioners do not appear
greatly concerned by assertions heard
occasionally that the district is en-
titled to a representative who can be
on the job at Washington day II
night. They point out that the 66th
congress, for which nominations are to
be made at the May primary election,
will not meet, unless in extra session,
until December, 1919, and that there
is fair prospect hat the war will be
over by that time. They feel, too, that
Mr.. Johnson's patriotic stand in the
present crisis is beyond criticism. Mr..
Johnson left his seat in congress and
gave up his salary to train and fight
as a private in the regular army for a
private's pay.
Former Judge Carl G. Sherwood OF
Clark, who was urged to run as a re-
publican candidate in the second dis
trict, has written to Public Opinion at
Watertown hat he cannot make a cam
paign at this time for any office, be-
cause his son n law partner has en-
tered the army.

plentiful supply of Ignite coal farther
up the river, and if it could be laid
down at points with a freight rate
which would make the price reason
able a large amount of it would be
used. But up to the present the
freight rate has been so high that there
could be no practical market for the
Ignite coal.
