FRASER PLANS
T0ATTEND ST.
PAUL MEETING
Adjutant General of North Da-
kOta Will Discuss Future
of National Guard

St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 3.-The future
of the national guard and various
phases of universal training law
are to be discussed at conference of
adjutant generals of Northwestern
states to take place at the capitol in
St. Paul, December II and IL. The
call was issued by the adjutant gener-
al Of Minnesota, a member of the ex-
ccutive committee of the national or
ganization of adjutant generals.
The adjutants Of South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Iowa, have accepted in
vitations to attend Replies are being
awaited from North Dakota and Me-
braska
Adjutant General G. Angus Fraser
advised this afternoon that he would
represent North Dakota at this con-
ference. He had no inside informa-
ton to give out as to the purpose of
the meeting. He expressed confidence,
however, in the future of the national
guard, so far as North Dakota is con-
cerned, at least.

MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobb
When Demand Was Shown
>- .< to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Nov, Provides Chief SCp-
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan OF con-
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program is Of particular signifi-
canoe, MS it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministra ton by the m,at producers Of
the country.
According to reports OF the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle Of O,23S, 600 head
and 12,441,O 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January 1 last. In the same
period there was a decrease OF $4,000
head Of Sheep but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
Ing the latest reports.
Since January / unofficial fntorma-
tfon indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
avera &c weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase In hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,60O,O0O00O pounds
more OF pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30.
1917, amounted to 9O3, ,172, 900 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1877 7.5S9,O00 pounds,
an increase Of over 374,0O0,OOO pounds
for the quarter
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1,263, 100000 pounds as
against 1,454 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year. ~ifr, '!9" 7''
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage in fats.
and it Is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply it's deticien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports OF
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

RECONSTRUCTION
PROBLEMS T0BE
CONSIDERATION
Commercial Club Will Elect Of
iicerS and Map Out Work
For New Year

The problems of reconstruction as
applied to Bismarck and central North
Dakota; the development of the state s
great wealth of Ignite, to\which the
war has given such impetus; the pos
sibility of utilizing this valuable fuel
to encourage industrial expansion in
the capital city; the possibility of a
wagon bridge across the Missouri, re-
moving the last barrier between Bis
marck and Mandan, and the proper
care of our returning Yanks will be
among the principal problems which
must be considered by the board of di-
rectors which the Bismarck CONNER
cial club will elect at it's 18th annual
membership meeting in the CONNER
cial club rooms this evening.
There will be no luncheon and no
formal speaking program. The ses-
sion will be one Of business only. The
members or stockholders of the or
ganization will select their trustees
and generally discuss the things that
are to be done if Bismarck is to keep
pace with other progressive north
western cities.
The last two years have been pc
riod when the energies of the club
were concentrated almost entirely up
on war work, in which it has assumed
leading role and played it we'll. The
club has brought to the city a number
of valuable conventions and has won
for the capital city favorable publicity
and good will the state over and be-
yond the borders of the state. The
membership of the club has not been
greatly increased during this time, but
those who were on the club rolls stood
by their guns, paid their dues, and
kept the home fires burning.
This evenings meeting is called for
1880. 1t is one of vast Importance to
every member of the club and to ev-
eryone who is looking forward to a
bigger and better Bismarck. and it is
hoped that every member will attend.

Some time before the curtain rose
at the Casino theater last night,
practically every seat was filed, and
the crowd kept coming to witness
the initial play of the Lawrence
Stock Co., which began their series
of plays. THE Power of Gold" was
the opening number. 1t was we'll
put on and entertained the large au.
dience for over two hours. Although
several familiar faces were missed
from the cast, the new ones were
very pleasing, and the vaudeville be-
tween the acts added much to the
evenings pleasure.
A strong feature of this company is
their splendid band and orcrestra,
espe cially the orchestra, which alone
IL worth the price Of admission.
Mr.. Lawrence has been visiting
Lakeland with his splendid company
the past four years, always using
their large tent, but this time, on
account of weather conditions, they
will use the Casino.
The play tonight will be "The
Broken Promise" featuring almost
the entire company. Doors open a.

PATH OF GOLD

(By Amelia Josephine Burr
A path of gold-oh, build it quick and
straight
For mercy's feet to tread!
There is no time to wait
Each minute pulses red
From Freedoms wounded heart.
Make haste to do your part!
Swift as they are, your gifts will be
too late
To help the dead
But there are those who live, whom
you can spare
A little of the agony they bear
For you-that's true; have you not
thought how true?
For you.
These, who have learned how much
body and soul endure.
Their church-bels were as sweet as
OuISp
Their gardens we're as glad with
flowers,
Their women were as pure,
Their children sang and laughed and
played
AS merry and as unafraid-
0 little heads bowed on the desks as
though
The lesson being hard, you fell
asleep!
We shudder and we weep-but tears
are cheap.
More, more than tears must pay the
debt we owe
To those whose bleeding breasts have
been our shield,
A will that will not yield.
God knows this moment is too deep
for hate.
The hour is great, it calls US to be
great.
Our hand shall comfort him whom II
must strike
For wounded friend and wounded foe
alike
A path Of gold! Oh, build 1t quick and
straight.
