INCREASED EGG CONSUMPTION

Reports on the nations egg sup
plies lately received by. the U. S.
food administration show that the
number Of eggs in storage in the
United States on July / was prac-
tically the same as on July /, 1917.
With this condition, It is interesting
to note that consumption had increas-
ed about IT per cent. indicating
that production must also have in-
creased in about the same degree.
Imports and exports are negligible
factor compared with the enormous
size Of the egg trade within the Unit
ed States.
Prices received by producers for
eggs have been gratifying, according
to reports from the country egg mar
kets. and poultry markets are still
short Of birds, due, it is believed, to
the high level Of egg prices.

MORE VEGETABLES FOR CHICKS

The scarcity Of beef scraps, together
with the high cost, has led poultry
specialists, Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture to conduct

these tests feeds rich in vegetable
protein have been used in connection
with beef scrap to make up the lay
ing ration. One pen Of hens fed

ASK STATEF0R
i,850LABoRERs

. The state council of defense, in a
telegram received today from the
council of national defense, has been
instructed to aid the government in
securing North Dakota's quota of
1850 men in the army of one million
unskilled laborers to be raised for
work in the war industries.
The appalling labor shortage in the
war industries is expected to be great
ly increased by the new draft expan-
sion with the result, it is feated, that
the new national army be faced by
additional instances of lack Of equip
ment such as were apparent last Win
ter.
In the call sent to North Dakota a
part of the men are to be used for
work within the state but tn charger
part are wanted for work in other Sec
lions of the country.
The enrolment of volunteers for
this work is in the hands of the Unit
ed States employment bureau. No
men can be taken from the farms,
mines or railroads they must come
from the unessential industries. The
aid of the entire state administering
and the city and county officials
throughout North Dakota is request,
ed to help fill the quota. The council
of national defense has urged such ac-
ton in view of the fact that this IS
a bigger campaign than the shipyards
drive"

OUR BOYS SHOULD
ATTEND COLLEGE

"Uncle Sam" wants boys to attend
college during the war. College
trained men are of special value in
war-work and the students now in
college are one Of the nations great
est assets. Until now the way had
not been found under the selective
draft and volunteer system to hold
the necessary. number of young men
in college for the best interest Of the
wars prosecution.
To encourage college attendance
and at the same time make the most
of such attendance, the war depart
ment has created in the army the
students Army Training Corps"
making Of every important college in
the country a military post for the
training of men for the army and
navy and essential industries. De-
tachments of the Students Army
Training Corps will be established in
every college which has one hundred
or more able-bodied volunteers for

FARMERS LIMITED
TO Use OF SUGAR

Owing to the extreme shortage ct
sugar, it has been found necessary
to place all sugar users in North
Dakota on the same basis, and upon
instructions from Washington, new
regulation has just been issued by
The state, cutting down the amount
that may be sold to farmers during
the threshing season, from three
pounds per person per month to two
pounds per person per month.
Heretofore farmers have been al
leved to buy sugar for the threslling
season on the basis of three pounds
yer person per month.
Our sugar supply is very much un-
der our sugar requirements" said
Federal Food Administrator Laid to-
day. "There is not enough sugar for
canning purposes, and it is feared that
large amount of fruit may 60 to
waste in this state unless sugar is
available Immediately for that pur-
pose. This would involve the loss Of
a large amount of food products and
it has been found necessary to re-
duce the use of sugar for household
purposes to the lowest possible mini
num-"
The sugar division Of the federal
food administration for the state has
issued the following official rulings:
When households entertain visitors
or have extra help, additional sugar
may be obtained, if available, from
the dealer, basing the purchase on
the number of extra meals served at
the rate of two pounds for 80 meals.
For dinners and suppers for charit-
able work, each guest must bring his
or her own supply of sugar.

the work, and this will include the

the work, and this will include the
North Dakota colleges. e.l e
Entrance into "this corps is by VOL
untary enlistment. Such enlisted stu
dents are members of the army of the
United States, and will be uniformed,
equipped and trained as soldier dur
ing the college year, with intensive
training for six weeks in the sum-
mer. During the year there is no
pay, but the pay Of a private is re-
ceived during the summer training.
Such students will be subject to the
call of the president at any time. The
policy of the government, however,
will be to keep member of this corps
in college till his draft age is reached,
or even after such time if the best
interests of the country are served
thereby; and only in extreme emer-
gency would he be called before draft
age, twenty-one years. Upon reach
ing draft age he registers and is plac-
ed in Glass V. D. The draft board
will not call him so long as he re-
mains member of the Students
Army Training Corps, but at the time
such board would have called him
were he not already enlisted he re-
ports to the college president and
commanding officer, who then reports
to the proper division of the war de-
partment, recommending % that he
continue his studies or (2) that he &c
to an officers training camp or 60
that he be assigned work in ordnance
quartermaster or other staff corps, OF
(4) that he be sent to division camp
The purpose is to provide the very
important needs of the army for high
er trained men as officers, engineers
doctors, chemists, and administrators
of every kind. The presumption is
that, for the next year, the largest
portion of the student body reaching
twenty-one will be required to supply
large part of the officers needed for
the national army.
College men will welcome the news
that they can at the same time be
army men, and the further confrma-
ton that the government regards it
most patriotic service to make the
best possible preparation for gov
eminent service.

SOLDIERS BANQUET
ON SUNDAY EVENING

The drafted mems contingent OF
more than 40 soldier boys were given
a most delightful supper by the unit

basement of the Epworth M. E church
Sunday evening at $50. In addition
to the soldiers and speakers, there
were a number of invited guests who
are members of patriotic committees:
which made up a company OF between
60 and 70 who partook CT the excel

very generously furnished music dur

delivered "a most eloquent speech.
which he closed with most timely

ing invited to the banquet, was asked
to speak. His remarks, while brle1

some things they will doubtless re-
member while in training: Inc
sneeches were interspersed with pa,
triotic songs led by Prof. Meyer ana
a solo was beautifully rendered by Y.
NJ, Varnson of Fargo. The last speech
of the evening was by Pres. Geo. E.
Mcfarland in his very thoughtful and
pleasing way. Many of the boys had
been his pupils and his words were
like those of a wise father to his chill
dren. Following this speech, DR.. Pray
moved that a hearty vote OF thanks
be extended to the patriotic women OF
the churches and to he musicians who
made possible his fine occasion. The
company not only adopted the resolu-
ton by standing but also by vocifer-
Gus applause. After singing our Ma
tional Anthem, and repeating "A
Soldiers Prayer" the men filed
around a table where they received
from Mrs. Frank Ployhar their KIT
