cent Of her food stuffs and is, there
fore, able to control them from the
moment Of entry WV produce in this
country practically every thing W. cat,
making 1t necessary To regulate the
producers also Taking for granted
however, that these difficulties can d.
overcome, there still remains the
question OF the proper basis for dis
tribution. England first tried the
datum" system, baSing the amount of
food available for each dealer upon
IA certain percentage .of the supplies ne
had received during a specified pre-
vious period selected for this purpose.
This was found illogical because I'D re-
suited in setting "A premium upon
Wastefulness That is, the communi-
ties which had consumed the most
food during The given period were
permitted tO profit tO that extent
under the rationed distribution.
The Food Ministry was, therefore,
brought to- the conclusion that the
registry SYSTEM would ID preferable,
and 1T IL under the registry system
that food is being rationed in Eng
land today.
The registry system demands that
every buyer or food in England shall
register as q customer Of food store
The registry blanks are carefully
filed and stubs from his individual
lcnStoners' books are used by the food
merchant as basis for obtaining
supplies. He is allowed given
amount of food stuffs Tor each custo-
mer and a small addition Tor emer-
Igencies-nO more.
1t will be readily seen that such a
system has it, drawbacks. TIN the
first place, having registered d. "a
customer or a particular store, the
food buyer remains a customer of that
store except for extraordinary rea-
sons, such d removal from the city
Oh death. This naturally eliminates
ali competitive business, all initiative
ON the part of the merchant, all de-
\ SirabiAity Of appeal to- THE transient
trade. The merchant must be content
to mark time and to hold his ground,
lift he can, until the war is over.
This method has resulted in Eng
land in Wiping out the little merchant.
Customers desire to avoid as much
trouble as possible, and therefore
Register themselves I'D buyers Rt
stores which can supply all their
needs IL also lays the way open for
utilization by the stores of unrationed
articles a. bribe for trade. For
Etunate concerns which can obtain by
one way and another fairly regular
supplies Of tea, cheese and other I'M
rationed articles are able to say ito
their customers, "If YOU buy your
sugar, meat and flour from us, we will
see that you get your half pound OF
cheese every week, or your supply OF
tea" The little store which IL not
able To obtain these supplies costly
and scarce-is helpless.
The abuse of the unrationed ar
ticles IL thereby exaggerated and en-
lcOuraged, whereas under the Ameri-
can system our people are put on their
honor to conserve all kinds of food
and are guarded with ali the power
the Food Administration has against
lproit eering, discrimination and in
| equality in all lines, and the merchant
remains much freer to- exercise his
own initiative and ability in building
his business

Another Crop Like 1895

In reviewing the crop situation this
spring and the consequent return of
cold unreasonable weather after the
early seeding had been completed, re-.
minds some of the older pioneers of
the spring of 1895, which is general
ly recalled as one of the big crop
years of the northern part of the state
That season the spring like weather
was belated in its permanent arrival
until along about the second week
in May. The recollection also in
cludes the statement that the harvest
was early that fall, some of the late
sown grain being harvested in ten
weeks. The crop averages were
as high as has been known, which
with prevailing prices in these days
makes the outlook good one. Now
we will see how near the prediction
isright.

Joint Political
Meeting Called
Two Old Parties Propose to
Unite in Campaign Meet
Next TuesdaA

As petitions have been presented
to the officials Of the Republican and
Democratic organizations of this
county asking for meeting to con-
slider what measures should be taken
to stop the unwarranted and intended
evasion of the purpose of the primary
election laws of this state, and as
these petitions have been presented
to the undersigned, as taxpayers of
the county, who are opposed to the
Non-Partisan league.
The meeting will be held at the
Court Room in Langdon on Tue sday
afternoon, May 7th., 1918. at two
o'clock.
The petition as signed by voters
and taxpayers is as follows:
'We the undersigned, Democrats
and Republicans, residents of Cavalier
county. who are opposed to the Non
Partisan League; opposed to their
leadership under Townley; opposed
to their efforts to amend the constitu-
tion of the state as proposed by their
infamous House Bill Number a.; op-
posed to their efforts to remove the
debt limit of the state and their sub
stitute of no limit whatever; op-
posed to their proposals of ven-
turing into untried enterprises with
funds raised by bonding the state; op-
posed to their luke warm loyalty,
as we'll as the thinly veiled disloy-
atty of the leaders and organizers
of the Non Partisan league.
And believing that the welfare of
this government demands the utmost
and unquestioned loyalty of those
elected to the legislative, state and
judicial branches of our government
and that if complete control should
pass into the hands of Townley and
his associates danger to upholding our
government would be at stake.
And convinced that the crisis de.
mands, as loyal American citizens,
that we put aside party differences
and call meeting of all parties.
The only qualifications to partici-
pate in the meeting being that all are
electors of the county, loyal citizens
of the United States and opposed to
the Non Partisan league.
AS the above has now been signed
by more than two hundred voters Of
the county, the undersigned requests
all interested in this proposed action
to attend the meeting or have dele
gates from the different communities
attend so that the matter may be
fully considered and action taken in
accordance with the desires of those
attending the meeting.

and carried to a successful completion

stating that the merit of the entire

due to the efforts put forth by Father

words if flax cannot be sown between
the 1st to the 10th Of May it is bet
ter then to wait until around the las.
day Of May or the 1st day of June.
They give as a reason that flax sown
in the middle Of May is usually
caught by some hot, windy weather
at Towering time, whereas early or
late seeding in a majority of seasons
will bring the flax to that very i'm
portant stage of growth when there is
less liability of such weather condi-
tions prevailing.
I have had frequent inquiries re-
garding narrowing winter rye this
week. 1t is my opinion that rye
should not be narrowed when it is as
small and delicate and as poorly es-
tablished in the ground as at present,
when there are frequent and severe
frosts. When the cracks in the ground
are not deep and when showers are
as frequent as of late. However,
should conditions such as last year
prevail in a few weeks, where the
rye is more mature, the cracks in the
ground deep and the weather warm
and dry, then suggest narrowing
will give the same satisfactory re-
suits that obtained from such prac-
tice last year. ]. w. HAW.
