SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consld.
cred any plan Of seizing foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor Is there
any policy Of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite Of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue official de-
malls of rumors that the government
intends communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part.
~ by constituencies grqfters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives. g..
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving practlced on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials in Washington believe
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods so saved ars
theirs, and theirs alone.

Tournament Manager Makes
Report on Jamestown Funk

these instructions all the High schools
in this district were notified when the
entries must be in and when the
drawing would be made. The draw
ing was made on schedule time and
the management took the precaution
to have the drawing witnessed by
notary public. The result of the
drawing with the time of playing
each game was sent to all the teams
entered in the tournament and all
went we'll and without complaint from
anybody until Friday afternoon after
the first game had been played when
MIR. Koontz came to the management
and wanted the schedule rearranged
on the ground that the way it was
working out was not fair to the
Jamestown team. This the manage
ment had to refuse. as in the first
place there was no equitable rear
rangement possible, and if there were,
to do so would be to violate the prin-
ciple and annul the purpose of para
graph seven OF the official rules and
to do exactly the thing which Mr..
Eoontz had criticized the manage
ment for doing last year.
Nothing more happened until after
the last game before the finals on Sat-
urday afternoon when the manage
nlent received this communication
from Mr.. Koontz:
Valley City, N. D., March 9, 1913
Mr.. Fred G. Spalding,
Mgr. B. Ball Tournament,
Dear Sir-Jamestown, respectfully,
protests against ruling which you
have made in the basketball tourna-
ment, viz: that information received
after the pairing of teams has been
made, vital to the pairing, cannot in
any way affect the pairing.
jamestown will not play any more
games until the Board of Control,
after facts have been laid before, has
ruled on this point.
Respectfully,
Norman C. Koontz,
Supt. Jamestown City Schools.
AS the condition imposed was i'm
possible this was equivalent to a
statement that jamestown would not
play the final game. Efforts were
made to change this decision of Mr..
Koontz, even some Of the state Off
GERS interceding, but to no avail, and
the game was forfeited to Valley City.

FOOD OUTLOOK IN ~
SWEDEN is SERIOUS

Stockholm, Thursday, March Z. -
The outlook in Sweden for foodstuffs
and fodder grain is disquieting, said
Minister of Agriculture Petersen in
answering an Interpolation in the
Riksdag today:ii The present supplies
of breadstuffs will suffice, until the
first days of July and about $4,000
tons more Of grain will be required to
carry the country through until next
harvest. A total supply of 100000
tons of oats will be required for the
same period and of this supply only
IL 900 tons are on hand.

BIC HERDS CONE.
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servation Measures.

1t il probable that Europe for many
years after, the war will look to 4
great extent to America for it's meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
;replenished.
i When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dttion virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres Of
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale Of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
$17.78 per hundred pounds; October,
SIPS; November and December,
$16.OS, and for January, $14.40. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
total of 1884, 900 as compared with
! $780,, 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally, France is pro-
/ ducing only one gallon Of milk where
| before the war two and one-half gal
| Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our flocks and herds and to in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show disposition
to cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years it has been a prac-
tice among many Of the dairy people
Of this country to kill male calves at
birth and In many instances the fe-
males if not needed to replenish their
herds rather than 60 to the expense of
maturing them into veal. The high
| prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact Is IS per cent. Of
calves killed for veal this year were
i males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
In war as powder, which Is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly e.
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under q recent order one-fourth
Of the hogs were ordered to be killed.
h is estimated that one-half have now
1Oen killed.

FINLAND MAKES SEPARATE
+. PEACE WITH GERMANY

Amsterdam, March 7.-Official an
nouncement was made in Berlin today
of the signing of peace treaty be-
tween Germany and Finland, and also
of trade and shipping agreements and
a supplementary protocol.
The treaty as$,signed at noon to-
day. II
Finland, by the conditions of the
treaty, agrees to cede no territory nor
grant territorial rights to any for
eign power without the previous con-
sent Of Germany, who undertakes to
exert herself to secure the recognition
Of Finland's independence by all the
powers. ,
Each party renounces compensation
for war costs or damages. Negotia-
ticns will start worthwith for trade
and shipping treaty. The fortifca-
tons Of the Aland Islands will be re-
moved as speedily as possible for the
permanent nOn-fortiication of the
islands. as
Humans Indignant
Jassy,s Rumania, Monday, March a.,
BY Wireless to Saloniki, Tuesday,
March 5.-Intense indignation is felt
by the army and people Of Rumania
over the terms Of the preliminary
peace to be imposed upon Rumania
by the central powers. With it's mil
itary forces scattered and it's hopeless
strategical position, Rumania had no
recourse except to yield to her pow
erful and ruthless foe.
The Rumanian example is pointed
to as a repetition of. the bitter fate
suffered by Serbia and Belgium.
Royal Family Grieved
The royal family is greatly depress-
ed over the disastrous course of events
Both the king and queen, through the
Associated Press, express the ear
| nest hope that the American people
will have sympathetic appreciation
of the tragical circumstances that
forced peace with Rumania and that
the warm friendship that has always
existed between the two nations will
in no wise be impaired.
! Hope is felt by the royal family
and the people that when world peace
comes that the sacrifices being made
by Rumania will be recompensed.
To Give Concessions
Under the peace terms, Rumania
not only will have to give up Do
brudja, lose control of the Danube and
endure other great economic sacri-
fees, but she will be compelled to
yield to Germany large wheat, Pc
troleum and salt concessions. It is
understood that Germany will have
control Of the Rumanian railways for
a period of Is years and will have
possession of the four principal forti-
fled passes through the Carpathians.
All German goods are to enter Ru-
mania free Of duty while all Rumanian
goods will go into Germany under the
old tariff with the exception of GER
tain reductions.
Germany served her final ultimatum
on Rumania yesterday, giving the lit
tie kingdom only "a hours in which
to make final decision. A crown coun-
Gil was held and it was decided that
Rumania, completely isolated and
without outside support, would have
to bow to the force of circumstances
and take course from which there
appeared to be no escape.

Grain Standard Topic
at Helena March IS

Bismarck, March 9.-Representa-
tives of the Northwest states will
meet at Helena, Mont, on Saturday
March Is, to discuss federal grain
standards, it was announced by the
attorney generals Office here this aft
ernoon.
The conference which will be at
tended by representatives from Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Idaho and Washington, was ar
ranged by Attorney General William
LANCER after a conference with Com
missioner of Agriculture and Labor
John N. Hagan and members of the
North Dakota Railway commission.
kilograms were sent out today en-
couraging the attorney generals, COM
missioners of agriculture and men,
bers of railroad, warehouse and public
utility commissions in the several
states named to attend.
To Agree on Program
The object Of the conference will be
to get the states of the northwest
whose interests are closely allied to
agree on a definite program with re-
spect to modification of the federal
standards and to encourage represen-
tation from the several states at the
hearing to be held in the northwest
under the auspices of the federal bu-
reau of markets. By concerted action,
it is believed, greater pressure can be
brought on the bureau of markets to
recommend changes in the federal
grades which will be to the advantage
of the farmer.
Announce Meetings
On announcing that tentative stand
ards have been acted upon by the Sec
rotary of agriculture, the bureau OF
markets also has announced a series
of meetings to be held within the next
two months. One of the hearings will
be held at Minneapolis on March %
These will be the final hearings on
grades before the new standards are
finally adopted.
The North Dakota attorney gener-
ais Office has been active since early
last fall when the preliminary hear.
ings were held in an effort to bring
representatives of the northwest
states together to consider the fed.
(eral grades, Late last fall Attorney
General LANCER sent Assistant !, Oar
Brennan west for a conference with
attorney generals of Montana and
Washington. ~... g..
Officials of these two states as.
sured Mr.. Brennan at that time that
they would join with North Dakota
and the other spring wheat states ii
the conference which has now beer
called. %
