Tag Workers
Can Still Be Used

The annual public appeal made by
the Florence Crittenton Home is be-
ing made today by tag day. The re-
Spouse Of the public was as ready as
in former years, the one handicap
under which the workers labored be-
ing the lack in numbers. The many
demands upon the time OF women
and girls in war work, made 1t DIM
cult to provide the proper number OF
solicitors but some 20 women, deeply
interested in the work Of the insti-
tution, gave Fargo citizens an OPP
portunity to contribute their annual
mite to the work.
The Home this year has house
hold Of more than 70 young women
and babies and the problems c. food,
clothing and fuel which are puZzling
to the average household, are also
causing extra hours of thought to the
directors Of the Crittenton Home.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the COL
iections had not reached as large an
amount as last year and the workers
hope to continue the work this even
ing. ANY girls or women who Will
devote a portion or all Of the even
ing to selling the tags are urged
TO report at the Northern Trust com
pany on Broadway and there will be
some one in charge to give them
tags. It is hoped that with conttn-
nous effort until the last Saturday
night shopper goes home that an
amount at least equal to last years
tag day receipts may be secured.

AVIATOR MUST Be

Many Difficulties in Aim

Somewhere in France, sept. L.
Correspondence of The Associated
Press.)-Accurate machine-gun fire
Is the chief requirement Of the sue
cessful combat aviator. allied aylaS
ton experts agree. Fortunately for
the Allies that is one department in
which their aviators excel.
1t is interesting to note the prog"
ress made in the weapons used by
aviators. At the opening Of hostil-
tiles airplanes were used mainly for
observation work. Their pilots were
armed generally with carbines, and
sometimes only with an automatic
revolver. Then came the fighting
airplane and the single and double
machine gun. o.. =
But these newer and more dead
ly weapons are useless unless prop
erly aimed, and thus is no small
task as the pilot must aim not his
gun, but his whole machine. He
must use his airplane as a gun
mount. It is easy to conjure some
of the pilots difficulties when the
gun mount is naneuvring and trav-
cling twice as fast as any express
train. while its target is in similar
action.
Nor is that all the difference be-

the ground, ammunition is practical
ly unlimited. In an airplane. every
ounce Of weight counts, and ammu-
milton is therefore strictly, limited.
The greater, consequently, is the
need for accuracy in shooting.
It is important that no ammuni-
ton shall be carried which is not
absolutely reliable and all Is select
ed and tested. Guns are vigorously
inspected, for jam at a critical
moment might prove fatal. In train
ing, on the other hand, ammunition
Is carefully selected for it's badness;

The successful air fighter must be
good pilot; but even the most
brilliant trick flyer. the "stunter"
who can throw his machine about in
the air and make 1t supremely diff"
ficult target for his adversary, Is
nevertheless incompletely equipped
as fighter unless he can combine
brilliant flying with brilliant gun
merry. Foch's rule that "offense is
the best defense" applies even more
in the air than on land, and it is
by following that rule that the allied
fighters have won their ascendancy
over the Germans.

PER MISSION TO
BUY One YEARS
FLOUR SUPPLY IS
GIVEN FARMERS
But They Must Sign Pledge
To Use Required Amount
OF Substitutes
MAY SHIP "FTELD
RUN" POTATOES
Food Administrators of
Four States Hold Impor-
tant Conference Here

| Food administrators Of the four
Estates Of North and South Dakota
! Minnesota and Montana, at u con-
| ference held IN Fargo today, approx
| ed the plan outlined by the United
States food administration to allow
farmers to secure a years supply OF
flour without taking the substitutes
when the -four Is delivered. The
Farmers must sign a. pledge, however
! in which they agree to use the re-
quired amount of substitutes. These
pledges will be made on g. specified
form, to be designated by the food
administration.
The reason for this action was TO
Fallow farmers who have been in the
habit Of buying their years supply
of flour to continue this custom with
out being required to lay in the en-
tire amount Of substitutes when they
purchase their flour. The reason for
this is that substitutes, such as corn
-four and corn meal, do not keep we'll
| in warm weather and to compel the
purchase Of 20 pounds Of these sub
stitutes with each 100 pounds OF
wheat -four might result in serious
loss of food through spoilage.
This does not mean that the 1910
rule is to be eliminated in any way.
Every person securing -four in this
way must sign a pledge guarantee
ing that he will purchase or use the
substitutes, said Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Ladd In making the an
nouncement.
THE pledge system will also per
init q farmer who has grown his own
substitutes to have them ground at
any mill equipped for that purpose
