Williston came forth in true style
last Saturday and re-dedicated them
selves to the task of winning the war.
A monster parade in the afternoon
was a huge success in spite OF the
bad weather. The procession was led
by John Heffernan as Uncle Sam fol-
lowed by three of the first Americans
(Indians) carrying the U. S. Flag.
Next came the Flag Corps carrying
the Flags of the Allied Nations fol-
lowed by the Williston and High
School bands combined which fur
nished very good music. The band
was followed by large representa-
ton of the ladies of the Red Cross in
their white costumes and caps. The
Home Guard followed and gave one
a good impression of the work that
has been done in organizing and per-
has been done in organizing and per-
fecting such a large well-drilled,
disciplined body of men in the short
time they have bee nto-gether. Next
in line were all the employees of the
Great Northern round house in their
working uniforms. They had with
them a huge bell representing the
liberty bell which was fixed on a set

Motor Truck For
Fire Department
City Soon to Vote on Purchase of
Truck For Fire Department
Other Bonds

The citizens of Williston will soon
be given an opportunity to vote upon
the question of selling bonds to pur-
chase fire motor truck for the city
and also to purchase the Armory
building.
We believe that Williston as a city
is now in a position where the pur-
chase of both of these things is quite
necessary. In the fire department we
have had team of horses for use on
the fire truck for several years. They
have served US we'll. However thev
are getting quite old and younger
team will soon be necessary if we are
to depend upon team This city on
the other hand is getting too large
in our opinion for a team to cover
the ground successfully. A fire in
the outskirts of the town calls for a
long run and any team would be badly
winded before getting to the scene of
the blaze.
In the notice for election and vote
on this fire truck question we are ask
ed to raise $500 for truck. This does
not mean that all of this money will
be spent. We are informed by the
fire chief that this amount was put in
to give a chance of looking over var
ious trucks and to be sure and have
enough to purchase what was wanted.
He also stated that he believes they
can get truck for about $4,000 that
will fill the bill. Fargo has one cost
ing about that amount and he thinks
that what would do them will surely
do us. If only $4,000 is spent for a
truck the chief says that the balance
of the bonds voted for truck would
not be sold.
As regards the Armory-everyone
knows what a fine building that is
and that it is bargain for the city
at the price at which they can secure
it. 1t is building that Williston has
needed for years and one that the city
should own. ..

CLEAN ALL SEED
SAYS PROF. B0LlEy
SAYS SEED SHOULD BE PUT IN
GROUND WHILE DAMP FOR
BEST RESULTS


Some thousands of farmers will
this year sow wheat, barley, flax anc
other seed grain which they did not
raise on their own farms. Much of
this seed will be what is known as
"bulk grain" 1t has been hauled in
from many different farms, has pass
ed through local elevators, has been
hauled in cars and much of it has
even passed by carload lots from
different regions into terminal ele-
vators. Whether this grain is sold
to you as cleaned grain or uncleaned
grain, you as farmers ought to un-
derstand what this sort of handling
of seed results in.
Such bulk grain is apt to contain
a little bit of all Of the evils which
grow on the different farms, such as
mustard, wild oats, quack grass,
smut, etc. While for example, last
year was not great smut year there
was probably some smutted grain in
almost every township and some of
the grain from these smutted fields
is apt to be mixed into the bulk grain
which you buy for seed My advice
is: Clean very carefully any seed
which you buy. If you have cleaning
machinery, handle it yourself or di-
rect the work carefully. This will
allow you to get out any scattering
seeds of wild oats, quack grass and
various other bad weed seeds which
may be present in what is sold to
you as cleaned grain. After grading
and cleaning the seed, treat it for
smut or any other disease, which may
be present. Use the methods of treat
ment which you are familiar, or ask
YOUR neighbor how it is done if you
do not know. ...-
How to Treat Seed
Formaldehyde method: Make a So
luton of formaldehyde and water.
Use one pound of formaldehyde to
forty gallons of water. Wet any
kind of seed grain thoroughly with
this solution. Do this wetting in any
manner you see fit, just so you get
every seed evenly wet all over. IL IS
a good plan to dip oats and barley so
that the water can get inside the
husks. Those who have regular
dipping machine or smut machine
will have no trouble with any of these
grains. Do not dry the grain. Haul
it direct to the field in your wagon
box or bags and commence to drill 1t.
Sow it while, damp. This gives best
results in this region. To- DO this,
open up the drill until it will sow the
right amount Of seed Find this out
by running the drill on level hard
piece of road You can find out how
many seeds are dropping per yard
or inch in each drill row. You know
about how many ought to fall there
in order to have the grain thick enuf.
Nobody can tell you how much seed
you ought to use per acre because ne
does not know how big the grains are
that you are using nor whether your
drill works accurately or not
The price of formaldehydc is high.

The Copper Sulfate Treatment for
Wheat: Some of you know how to
use the copper sulfate or blue-stone
method. l do not advise it for oats
or barley. If copper sulfate is avail
able, recommend the use Of three
pounds Of copper sulfate to about
the copper all dissolved. Wet the
ten gallons of water. Be sure to get
grain in any manner you see fit just
as in the case Of the formaldehyde
solution. If you do not have smut
treating machine, treat anyhow. Use
sprinkling can or three gallon spray
er to wet the grain. Sprinkle the
seed we'll with the solution, shovel
and rake through the grain until all
of the separate grains are evenly wet
al over. 1t takes about three-fourths
Of gallon of solution to properly
treat bushel of dry wheat. It takes
abo;t one and one-half to two gal
Ions to treat bushel Of dry oats. d

SECOND CABINET IS
ADDED TO STAFF
WEEKLY MEETINGS OF "WAR
CABINET" HAS ACHIEVED
CLOSE HARMONY
IN .., T.

Washington, April 8.-The nations
war making agencies have achieved a
close harmony of action in the last
two weeks through the Wednesday
conferences at the White House that
high officials said today had speeded
the prosecution of the war to the
point of greater efficiency yet reach
ed. Decisions of far-reaching impor-
tance have been made under the
guidance of President Wilson, who is
said authoritatively to have smoothed
numerous difficulties which might
have resulted in delay or friction.
The President now virtually has
two cabinets, the first of which ad-
vises him on diplomatic and political
questions, while the second discusses
with the chief executive the problems
Of mobilizing the industrial powers
of the nation, without which there
could be no war. The cabinet proper
meets every Friday. The "war cab
met" or industrial cabinet" as it is
coming to be known, gathers at the
White House every Wednesday and
director general of railroads, the
chairmen of the shipping, war indus
tries, and war trade boards; the food
administrator and the fuel admins
traitor. At times, when the navy or
army has a special problem involv-
ing industrial questions, Secretary
Daniels or Acting Secretary of War
Crowell attends.
The war cabinet at no time has
touched on political questions. This
was learned today from very high
source All of the war cabinets work
has been to further the preparation
of America to throw her entire re-
sources into the scale against the
Hun. So important has this work be-
come that the prosecution of the war,
except for the direction of actual mil
itary and naval movements, now is
entrusted to the little group Of six
men, representing the factors neces-
sary to provide the fighting men with
all they need to bring victory rs
quickly as possible.

LABOR AND FREE TRADE

Can MT. Gompers tie American la bor to chariot of international free trade?
 He tried to do that at Laredo, Tex ence.
 His ether four propositions seem reasonable.
 But when Mir. Gompers attempts to crusade his free trade belief by dec,ar- ing that organized labor in America wants a plank in the peace agree ment to prohibit any and all political or economical restrictions meant sim ply to benefit some nations and to cripple and embarass others" he goes beyond the bounds of his authority and influence
 It is a serious matter ion MT. Com pers. to speak for organized labor on that issue. He has no more right to do that than he would have to say that organized labor must vote for a man for a certain political office
 American citizens, union or ron- union, want American standards of | living and wages to be maintained. IL is inevitable, that some of the ab- normal wages now paid in war ;n- dustries will have to come down. But it is to the national welfare that tue general range wages in non-war in- dustries shall be maitained.
 The Spokesman-Review of Spo- kane, Progressive, says: These wages cannot continue if we throw open the markets this country to the fierce competition that is coming with the 1 laying down of arms. American manu- facturers and products made and pro- duced under American high standard of living cannot stand under open competition with manufacturers and products created by the lower stan dards of Europe and yet the lower standards of China and Japan

In the public ownership failure it's the general taxpayer who has to dig to make up deficits for a low priced service furnished for the benefit Of some one besides himself.
 These schemes all sound nice on paper when the promoters are out for votes, but the people pay.
 The vote buying plan of the Non- Partisan league whereby the state would own principal lines of industry to be operated at cost for the farm CTS sounds fine and would work fiue until the day came to pay the bills and then the people would pay and MT. Townley and his shadows would be gone.

A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS GIFT

Well done, thou good and Faithful Servant will be pronounced at the Deace conference when the achieve ments of the Red Cross are recounted in the great report.
 Without the Red Cross, with it's agencies on the field of battle and it's millions pf women feeding sup plies into the war machine, would democracy be breeding over the world this Christmas?
 Comes now the Red Cross asking for a Christmas gift. It does not ap- peal or something magnificent or costly. It does not ask for sums of money. It wants every man and wo- man and child in America to be- come member of it's organization.
 It asks this membership in the name of the Christ whose natal day is this year to be celebrated as He would wish, with peace and god will among men It asks for Christmas gift of one dollar, the cost of member i ship for one year.
 The drive for membership De- gins December 6 and continues till December 23. By that day, on the eve of the day when the Magi saw the star and knew that all was well with the world, the Red Cross hopes and expects to have an en- : rollment which will guarantee it a working fund for the forthcoming 1 year. Never again, announces the central committee of the great agen- cv of mercy, will the Red Cross come before the public asking for contribu- tions and subscriptions. As long as peace prevails in the world and no unforeseen disaster taxes it's resources it will endeavor to prosecute it's work with the funds derived from membership dues, one dollar year from each of the population of Ameri- "a The Rcd Cross has mapped for it's workers all over the globe a pro- eramme requiring just as much of intelligence and means as during the actual war time. Sick, disabled wounded disheartened, sorrowing men and women will inteem in Flu. rope for years to come. The declara tion of cessation of hostilities cannot instaneously indemnify these afflicted ones. They must be the wards of the Red Cross and kindred organizations for a long time to come The Red Cross has no intention of stacking ir it's mercifu1 woirk.
 No man who professes Christianity no woman who breathed a prayer o
 thanksgiving on November II can re
 fuse Christmas gift to the Rec l Cross and expect to have peace ot , conscience in the months to come
 when the Red Cross will be feeding , and reorganizing and remoralizins the peoples of Europe and Asia. Therefore the appeal for Christ : mas gift of one dollar each from the
 people of America. One dollar buys

membership in the Great Conrad ship for one year. One dollar gives the right to wear the red badge of courage until another Christmas shall roll around. One dollar gives one the privilege of being square with his conscience until the next birthday of the Man who said Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God"

HIGH PRICED SUBSTITUTES.

The people turnout the country
have shown a willingness to adopt ev-
cry order or suggestion in connection
with the food conservation campaign
being carried on by the federal food
ceived from the government that pro-
lection to which they seem to be en-
titled. Whenever they have begun the
use of substitutes for articles of food
saving of which is recommended, the
prices of these foods have promptly
advanced.
One of the recent complaints of
housewives regards substitutes for
wheat. The prices charged for these
substitutes are felt to be excessively
large and the suspicion is engendered
that profiteers again are busy.
The fact is pointed out that there
is no shortage of corn, yet the price
of corn meal has scared even above
the price of wheat flour and the price
of rye advances steadily.
Prices for these substitutes evil
IDENTIFY come as the consequence of the
ftfty-fifty basis of purchases rule laid
down and the failure of the govern
ment to follow out it's price fixing
plans as applied to flour.
The result is that the dealers are
enabled to advance the price of sub
stitutes and do rather a Thrifty bust
ress.
The housewife may decide to take
advantage of the bakery and buy her
bread, but there are thousands who
prefer to bake their own and it is
these people who are hit hardest by
the advanced prices of substitutes.
The American housewife is ready to
enter into the spirit of conserving
wheat, but she would enter into the
task with greater enthusiasm were the
inequitable feature of charging more
for corn meal than wheat flour elm
mated.
The cooperation necessary to save
dhe 100000 bushels of wheat before
the next crop is harvested is apparent
and the government no less than the
people has its duties. One of these is
to prevent injustice being done to the
PEOPLE who are daily displaying unset
fish patriotism by following out gov
ernment instruction and urging in the
ma tier of food conservation.
