ss'.. Washington, Nov. 14.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover, about to sail
for Europe to direct the fight against
after-the-war starvation, had final
conference with Senate leaders TO-
day and told them legislation to ex-
tend the life of his organization, linn
tied to the declaration Of peace,
will be unnecessary.
Many months must pass before
final peace is concluded and in the
meantime the food administration
will be closing up its task, taking
the steps necessary to cooperate in
the solution of food problems abroad
and giving attention to reconstruc-
ton. Some legislation may be ne
cessary, Mr.. Hoover told the sena-
tors, in connection with world pro-
visioning.
With the declaration Of peace and
the expiration Of the food control
law, he said, obligations Of the gov
ernment then in existence, including
particularly the decree for minimum
prices for 1919 wheat, still will be
binding and will be fulfilled. He
explained that all contracts made
by the government under the law
necessarily would be binding after
the administration ceases to exist.
General food conditions, foreign
and domestic, were discussed by
Mr. Hoover, who gave review of
the task of feeding European peo-
pies. For a considerable time, he
said, it would be necessary to sup
ply large quantities of food to the
Belgians, Serbians, Jugo-Slavs, Ar !
mentans and many other peoples, as
we'll as to the late enemy countries.

BOARD Of HEALTH
OPENS PUBLIC PLACES

The flu epidemic in Bowbells and
vicinity has about run its course,
and the number of new cases is very
much on the decrease. No new
cases have been reported during
the past few days, and at a meeting
of the city board of health held last
Tuesday evening 1t was decided that
the schools, churches, theatres and
other public places be opened again.
AS soon as this was decided J. H.
Mohr of the Royal Theatre ordered
some films for a program Saturday
evening, and also programs for next
week. A Thanksgiving ball will
also be given next Wednesday even
ing at the Royal Theatre. Many of
the rural schools which were closed
for several weeks, have either OPP
ened or will open next Monday. In
all cases where there is one or moro
persons in a family suffering from
the influenza it is thought best that

at home instead of attending school
unless a permit Is received from the
local board of health.

WINTERS COMING

The leaves are turning brown
and red, the cauliflower and rose
are dead, the onion gone to seed
the frost has touched the columbine
the dropping fern and pumpkin
vine, and killed the. jimson-weed
This morning all the roofs were
white, the frost had fallen in the
night, the air was chill and keen;
old Winter once haG waved his
wings, and all the green and grow
ing things were in the soup tureen.
I'm glad that winters on the way,
and shall greet the snowy day with
rapture and applause; for am tired
of buying ice, which winter brings
without a price, gift from Santa
Claus. And l am tired of men who
fret because the weather is too wet
for guinea hens and shotes; and
am tired Of men who sigh because
the weather is too dry for growing
wheat and oats. The winters shy
of growing crops and so we hear no
plaintive yawps from sad-eyed hus-
bandmen; and no one cultivates or
hoes, and no one plows or digs or
mows, or tries to Sc a hen. The
leaves are turning red and gold, the
winter lies white upon the void,
the winter is at hand, when we shall
sit before the fire, and read a book
or punch a Tyre, and sing to beat
the band. Oh, winter, doubtless
when you're here I'll say you are
nuisance drear; but, as I look ahead
methinks you are q precious boon
the which I wouldn't trade for June
with all its roses red.

Amendment VOTE
IS STILL DOUBTFUL

With a minimum Of 47,15O votes
required to pass the constitutional
amendment proposing the removal
of the state debt limit, that amend
ment has total of 1881 votes on
the face of official returns.
The total vote cast in the state.
on the basis of reports from the
county auditors, is $4,000. This
includes 59,44O the actual total of
all votes cast in 33 counties and
34,161 votes cast in 19 other coun-
ties, which because of the fact that
a certain percentage of voters did
not ballot for either candidate for
governor will increase the total to
approximately $4,000, and prob
ably more. -
Industries 18 Votes Over
With two counties missing, the
constitutional amendment that au-
horizes the state to engage in all
kinds of industrial enterprises, has
45,568. On the basis OF the vote
cast for the debt limit amendment
in the two missing counties, the to-
tai vote cast for the public indus
tries amendment will be increased
by 1000 votes when the official re-
turns are available, bringing the to-
tai for the industries amendment to
47,168, a margin OF only 18 votes
over what now appears to be the
states total vote.
Legislative Amendments Pass
Three constitutional amendments
submitted by the legislature, re-
quiring a majority of the votes cast
on the amendments only, have been
passed.
These are: An amendment re-
quiring that four justices OF the SUI
preme court must concur in deci-
sion setting aside legislative en-
actment as unconstitutional providing
for tax on lands for the purpose
OF hail insurance, and amendment
to the provision with respect to the
voting privileges of members of CO.
operative corporations, making 1t
possible for corporations to limit the
voting power of stockholders.
Initiative Passed
The league amendment relative to
initiative and referendum evidently
has passed. on the bases OF actual
on that amendment from
all but two counties, and an esti-
mate from the two missing couu-
ties based on the vote given the
debt limit amendment.
Emergency Acts ....
The provision relative to emerg-
cncy acts, making it possible for the
legislature by two-thirds votes OF
the members voting to bar@a mea-
sure from the operation Of the refer
sendum, has 46,798, bringing it
about 500 over the apparent requir-
ed figure.
The amendment relating to fu-
ture amendments of the constitution
has 46,S33, all counties included, or
just 317 under the apparent rebulr-
ed vote.
The single tax amendment has
47,O14, all counties accounted for,
just 1876 under the required major
ity.
The hail indemnity amendment,
proposed by the league. has 49,S83,
and unQuestionably has been pass
ed.
y Because of the closeness of the
vote, the final result unquestionably'
will not be known on several OF the
amendments till official returns are
canvassed, and the canvassing board
certifies the count.

WHEAT AND SUGAR
RULES MODIFIED

Regulations requiring household
ers and bakers to purchase ~ per
cent of substitutes with each pur-
chase of wheat flour were Withdrawn
last week BY the federal rood. ad-
ministration in Washington. The
ruling Is effective Immediately.
A second order by the. food ad-
ministration which will affect North
Dakota householders, provides an
increase Of the household sugar al
lotments in the beet sugar produc-
ing states and in the cane producing
aterritory of louisiana from three
pounds to four pounds monthly per
capita. The order will take effect
December l. .,
Rules Continued Elsewhere
Throughout the remainder of the
country, it was stated, the allot-
ments of three pounds monthly per
capita for households and three
pounds per 80 meals for public eat
ing places will be continued for the
present.
The increase in sugar producing
states was granted, the food admin
istration announced, because Of the
lack of cargo space for overseas
shipment, together with insufficient
storage facilities in this country.
Wheat Conservation Urged
Although wheat bread may now
appear on the American table with
out restriction. the food admins
tration announced last week 1t
would continue to advocate conser-
vation in the use of flour. Under
the new regulations, all wheat bread
may now go back to its pre-war
standard.
Substitutes already purchased for
which millers, dealers and bakers
do not find a ready sale will be pur-
chased by the grain corporation Of

AS has been the case in all other
drives to raise money for various
war work, Burke county again went
over the top last week in the United
War Work Campaign. On account
of the epidemic of Spanish influenza
the work was very difficult for the
solicitors. In many cases the soli-
itors themselves were confined to
their beds with the disease, while
those who were working found that
many in their districts were i'll and
could not be called upon. For that
reason the work was delayed to
some extent, and some of the dis
tricts have not yet reported. Fol-
lowing is the amount allotted and

tricts which had reported up to the
