Appeal to Conserve Food

With view to welding together
into a great food-saving army the
100000 employees of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad System-represent-
ing, with their families and de-
pendents at least a million people
president Samuel Rea has issued
a special appeal, on the subject of
food conservation, to all the work
ing forces of the System.
The most economical use of food
and the avoidance of all waste, by
railroad men and their families,
are urged, both as a patriotic duty
in connection with the conduct of
the War and as a necessary meas
ure to avoid food scarcity at home.
Cooperation to the fullest degree
in the work of the United States
Food Administration is asked as
the most effective means of bring
ing about these results. The mes
sage has been printed in pamphlet
form and copy will be placed in
the hands of every individual en-
ployee.
Mr.. Rea's appeal to the working
forces of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road System follows the steps
taken to bring the necessities of

Third Of Swedish Luthern
Churches

The old church edifce is the
third of the Swedish Luthern
churches erected by the colonists
at Christianahamn. The first of
these three buildings was erected
inside the fort built immediately
after their arrival. This fort was
situated upon the top of a hill,
which overhung what was long
after known as "The Rocks" This
was rocky point extending out to
tldewater between the Brandywine
and Christiana creeks. The rocks
formed natural wharf with deep
water in front, and around to the
east side of the highland of which
"The Rocks" were the base was a
deep and commodious harbor for
the mooring of their ships, while
the top of the hill was a level pla-
teau, affording an excellent outlook
and making splendid site for their
first fertilization. Here the colon
lists built the fort, and inside it the
first Swedish Luthern Church in
America. 1t was around this fort
that the first military engagement
between European soldiers and
America was fought.
The First, Simple Structure.
The church building as was
originally planned by the Rev. Eric
Bjork, was a simple enclosure
within rough stone walls of a
space Of about 40x2O feet; the
walls were &c be IL feet high to
the square. These dimensions
were changed several times and
once after the contract for the
building had been made. No one
seemed to have a definite idea
about how big the church should
be. The height, however, the
priestly architect stipulated in the
contract, shall remain uncertain
until we see how it will compare
with the other dimensions" The
stone, lime and wood, and the labor
of gathering it having been assur-
ed, with the understanding that
every one should have due credit
for whatever they did, the founda-
ton of the building was begun
and on May %, 1893, the first stone

was laid. The cornerstone was
laid on that day by the priest. A
whole year was then consumed in
the building. The work was COM
pleted the following May or June,
and on Trinity Sunday, 1899, the
building was dedicated, and named
Holy Trinity Church."

In this great European War the
countries fighting must have wheat
to feed the soldiers. The coun-
tries such as France, England,
Italy have enough wheat.
France raises enough for her
own people but now they cannot
raise enough. England has so
large a population that they can't
raise enough. Italy can only raise
it in a certain portion on account
of the mountains. England has
some foreign possessions. Autra-
liza raises lot of wheat but they
cannot ship it to England because
the Germans have submarines
along the seas. Canada ships some
wheat to Europe.
The Allies are now depending
mostly upon United States. We
raise enough wheat for ourselves,
we send some wheat over for the
Allies, but we cannot laise enough
for all of them.
We are saving the wheat bread
and are eating rye bread and corn
bread. We send wheat over to our
soldiers.
The way we can fight the Kaiser
is to increase the wheat crop.
Germany has captured part OF
Russia and it raises a good bit OF
wheat, so we will have to work.

OLD SWEDES ANNI-
VERSARY CELEBRATED
Early History of the Church
Related

The 219th anniversary of the
conservation of Holy Trinity was
celebrated on Sunday. The con-
gregation of Trinity Church united
with that of Old Swedes at the
morning service. The sermon was
delivered by the Rev. Frederick M.
kirkus, rector of the Trinity
Parish. The laying of Old Swedas
church cornerstone was in 1893
but the conservation of the church
was not until one year later.
In American history, this "Cld
Swedes" Church commentaries
great events. 1t marks the sites of
one of the earliest European colon
les upon the North American con-
tinent. Included in the conception
and planning of the colony of
which the church is the oldest re-
mains, were greater subjects
higher ideals and grander antici-
pations-than were included in the
planning of any other of the early
American colonies.
Founded by Missionaries
The people who came here were
not eXiles fleeing from political or
religious persecution. They came
to America as wards of the most
enlightened government and citi-
zens of the most powerful nation
in Europe. Their mission was rot
a merely sordid one. They were
not gold-seeking, race-exterminat-
ing adventures, but missionaries
sent forth for the spreading of
the holy gospel" and for the
founding of a new nation upon the
broad principles Of civil and re-
ligious liberty. They had made the
old Swedish town of Christiana-
hamn the seat of the first military
occupation of territory Of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland; made it the seat of the
first permanent European colony
of the first ecclesiastical organiza-
ton, and of the first court of JUS
tice. This is what "Old Swedes'
Church commentaries in Ameri-
can history, and what makes its
anniversary matter of very great
historic interest.

To win this war we must IN
crease the wheat for our Allles.
We must try to take the wheat
away from the Kaiser. We must
eat bread made of rye and corn
meal and save the wheat for our
soldiers.
Canada and the United States
will do more toward winning the
war with wheat tina many other
country because they raise more
wheat and use the modern ma
chimes. The other countries can
increase their production by cul-
tivating it in modern ways.

countries in it must have wheat TO

United States, Canada and Ar

France, England and other coun-

France cannot raise enough
wheat because most OF the men

If we Americans want to win
this war we should get busy. The
United States and Canada are the
countries depended upon to supply
the Allies with wheat.
Wheat is very important figure
in this war. If we win this war it
will be with wheat. Russia raises
an abundance Of wheat but it can
not send it to the Allies because
the Germans have possession of
the part Of Russia where most of
the wheat is grown. Argentina in
South America also raises more
wheat than she can use, but as she
does not use modern methods we
cannot expect much help from her.
Also it is too long voyage.
So the United States must raise
more wheat and find. substitute
in place of wheat. The important
wheat belt in North America is in
Southern Canada to Northern
United States. Kansas, Nebraska,
and Minnesota raise lot of wheat.
To make our crop, larger we must
plant more wheat and use more
machinery.

We must all grow some wheat
and send it over to France for the
boys in the trenches. If they have
plenty to eat they can fight better.
We all know that the Kaiser is get
ting short of Sour Krs.ut. / know
the Kaiser will run when the
American boys come marching in
on him.
It all depends on the United
States because England, France,
Italy, have more people than they
can feed. Russia is very thinly
populated but still she raises a lit
tie more than she needs, but she
cannot ship it. Germany will soon
have her wheat growing section.
United States will have to feed the
Allies or they will starve. Austria
is helping Germany.
The wheat will help us in many
WAYS to win the war. The Kaiser
will be surprised when he hears
about the wheat that we are going
to grow.
And we are going to win If we

To help win the war we must
save wheat, because they cannot
send corn over to the Allies as it
would rot on the way, whereas
wheat wouldn't. The bakers are
now using barley and other things
in with the wheat.
They raise great deal of wheat
in Russia and Germany is getting
Russia so we must rai.e more over
here to sent to the Allies.
The most important city in the
United States for manufacturing
wheat is Minneapolis and in Cana
da, Winnipeg. Italy, France, Ger
many, Russia and Austria-Hun-
gary are the countries in Europe
that raise the most wheat. Argen-
tina raises the most in South
America and Beunos Aires is the
chief exporting city.
Charlotte Hossinger.
We have to have wheat to win
this war. The soldier must have
wheat bread, why not use corn to
make the bread? Because corn will
mold on the way to France. AS 1t
is we must have wheat. We must
use more corn in U. S. so we can
send wheat to the Allies. We must
nut wheat in all the left over acres
that we can. France, England,
and Spain can not raise wheat on
account of all the men going to
war so all the Allies have to de-
pend on Canada, United States and
South America.
In Australia there are thousands
of bushels of wheat on the DOCKS
that can not be shipped for all the
ships are used for shipping SOL
diers. also it is very long haul TO

This is Final Registration
~Day-Epidemic May
Offset Result.

Bismarck, N. D. Oct. 29.-North
Dakota voters not previously regis
tered today had their last opportunity
to sign up for next Tuesdays ballot
bee. So general are the! effects OF
Spanish influenza that a large regis
tration today is not believed possible.
and the illness of scores of electors
who are required by law to register,
because Of having charged their res
idence. OF for other reasons, Will
necessitate swearing in their votes
mex Tuesday.
Campaign managers already are
beginning to speculate as to the ERECT
Of Spanish flu on next Tuesdays cleo
ton. There are not less than 15,-
900 "active" cases of influenza in
North Dakota today. The lighter at
tacks will have run their course by
the end of the week, but there is no
guaranty that there will not be as
many if not more new cases to take
their place. The flu bug has been no
~respecter Of parties, but has attacked
Nonpartisans and ants alike. 1t the
present moment h country districts
seem the hardest hit. a fact which
may seriously affect the N~onpartisan
vote. President Townley Of h Ma
tional Nonpartisan league is said to
have admitted that an estimated
Floating vote of 10000 will turn the
tide one way or the other. How
many of these "floaters" will be too
i'll next Tuesday to go to the polls is a
question which not eve Mr.. Townley
can answer. If the epidemic grows
much more severe, health authorities
may even consider the heretofore I'M
heard of possibility of postponing the
general election.
Country towns, with few or no doc
tors, without hospitals and with no
trained nurses, are reporting a very
heavy mortality from flu. One town
in the southwestern part of the state
with a population of but 100 has SO
per cent oflits people ill. and nine
deaths already have occurred. Some
OF the smaller villages are almost de-
serted, and business Of all kinds is
practically suspended. Bismarck,
while 1t has had in all $50 cases of
flu in a population of 5000, has had
a comparatively light mortality, and
its total number of deaths Is, less than
a dozen. There have, however. been
