WHAT CAN 1 DO TO.
HELP WIN THE WAR7

To the Readers of the Courant:,
Through the courtesy of the Cour-
ant it is possible to speak this per-
sonal word to you.
You are eager to do your part to
help win the war. Your friends have
gone to war. You have asked your
self, "What can l do to back. up our
soldiers?"
If it were possible for you to go
through the mass Of facts and figures
in the office Of the Federal Food Ad-
minsistration for North Dakota, that
would convince you of one thing you
must do if America is to win the war.
That one thing is to conserve the
food supply.
The government wants your intel
ligent and willing cooperation in this
matter. The Food Administration
knows that if you knew the facts
this cooperation would be freely and
gladly given It is, impossible to pres
ent the entire mass Of information
but through the kindness of the Cour-
ant we hope to be able to present q
condensation of the more important
facts each week.
Here is one vital fact you should
know. The surplus of the 1917 wheat
crop has already been exported.
There remains only enough to feed
the American people from now until
next harvest if we eat the amount of
wheat we usually eat.
But England, France, Italy and our
soldiers abroad must have wheat. All
that we can send them will be what
you and other Americans save by us
ing corn meal, rye, oats, barley, rice,
ETC., in place Of wheat.
Will you do your share?
E. F. Ladd,
Federal Food Administrator.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The teachers Of Bottineau high are
certainly deserving Of praise for the
way in which they handled the present
situation. The program worked
smoothly from the very start and we
are rapidly accommodating ourselves
to the new quarters.
AS nearly as we can make out the
following bit expresses the attitude
of the school in general:
Don't talk to us of your taxes;

RED CROSS NEWS.

At Grand Forks restaurant keep
er has devised new scheme to con-
serve sugar and at the same time help
the Red Cross. Two Jumps Of sugar
are served with every cup Of coffee.
If the patron does not use all the sug-
ar he wraps it in package, and
places it in q large silver sugar bowl.
At the end of the week the bowl is
weighed and its contents paid for by
the restaurant proprietor at the mar
ket rate, the proceeds going to the
Rcd Cross. fs
Edinburg, N. D. claims the record
for accomplishment in the Red Cross
Christmas membership drive. In his
official report of results the manager
Of the membership campaign announc-
ed that 102 per cent of the population
4 Of Edinburg had joined the Red
Cross. Every resident, he explained,
had joined and two travelling men
who were in the city also enrolled
with The local organization.
At Hudson, S. d. supports Of the
Red Cross plan to hold weekly auc-
tions for the benefit Of the ReS C-,-nas.
One Of the staple articles for sale at
such auctions is a turkey that has al
ready been worth $285.50 to the local
organization.
Red Lake Indians, near Bemidji,
Minn., held basket social at their
school last week realizing $106 which
was turned over to the Red Cross.
Mrs. Charlotte Sharpless( convict
ed three years ago Of the murder Of
Leaning Sharpless, her husband, and
sentenced to life imprisonment in the
Minnesota penitentiary, inspired the
organization Of a Red Cross branch
in the prison that now includes prac-
tically every inmate Of the institu-
ti0n.
The trial Of Mrs. Sharpless in Min
neapolis was most sensational. The
"Sword Widow" as she was called,
because Of the alleged killing had
been done with q ceremonial sword,
earned the title at the trial of 1'The
Sphinx Woman" by her apparent
lack Of emotion on the witness stand.
Even when sentenced she betrayed no
feeling.
Even at that time Mrs. Sharpless,
an expert seamster, was sewing for
Belgian children while she was in jail.
IN the penitentiary she contiued her
work, paying for material from heF
allowance. Three weeks ago she con-
tributed q dollar to the local branch
Of the Red Cross and asked for .
membership. Her action led to
Red Cross campaign among members
Of the institution. More than 14O0
inmates joined and were gwen Red
Cross buttons. 5
E The IL women inmates Of the IN
stitution are now working every eve

of the men are doing their bit after
regular working hours.

Early threshing reports show that
in sections Of Montana-the- wheat-crop
is going to be anything but the fail.
ure which it, had been anticipated,
owing to the drouth conditions which
had prevailed during the growing sea
son of the early summer months.
The state department of agriculture
gives it out that Montana's CROP will
be double that of last year, when
there was also a damage sustained,
owing to a sectional lack of rain fall.
The report says that the Gallatin
Valley has the best crop in its history
and will average all the way from
eighteen to forty bushels per acre;
there are also general reports of a
good yield in the Yellowstone Valley
and the Judith Basin ranches are re-
porting yields that average better
than twelve bushels per acre

The food admin stration of the
country has given it out that there
may be such a thing as "sugarless
days. yet, before the war is over.
The sugar situation today, the govern.
ment authorizes the statement being
made, is more serious than the public
really realizes and it Is probable that
before the end Of the year we may
not be able to get any sugar at all,
The present shortage is attributed to
submarine raids and the German Of
fensive in France, representing m.re
than rs, 600 tons of sugar during the
months of June and July. The best
of the beet sugar crop in France be-
ing destroyed. 1t is stated that the
first relief will come from the Louis
lana crop. which ripens somewhat
earlier than the Colorado crop, but
even this cannot be manufactured and
put on the market much before the
first of the new year.
