Special Session Of Legis|a-
lure To Meet January e

Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. 12.-Gov-
erner Lynn J. Frazier last evening
issued his proclamation, calling the
legislature to convene Wednesday.
Jan. %, in extraordinary session,
to give attention to seed grain and
feed problem, held by the state exc
cutive as essential to the states
proper response to the nations de-
mand for the greatest possible pro-
duction of food this year.
Governor Frazier, indicated to a
representative of the Forum this
morning that his message to the
Legislature, would be confined to
seed grain. moratorium for SOL
diers with the possibility that some
attention would be given to, the fin
ancial needs of the state asylum for
the insane at Jamestown, where
maintenance funds are short be-
cause of poor crop .cQnditions and
to financial needs of several state
departments that are short Of funds
because of increased operating ex-
pense, notably fifty per cent increase
in postage, and to finances of the
state council of defense.
Long Opposed Extra Session
II had long opposed the idea OF
a special session." said the govern
or, 'in hope that the federal gov
ernment would take action. They
have taken the position in Washing.
ton, however, that they have enough
problems to deal with and that in.
dividual states should handle their
own problems. The position by the
federal government seems reason
able in view of the tremendous de.
mands made upon 1t for successful
prosecution of war"
Governor Frazier indicated that
his recommendations with respect
to the county bonding act will re-
late to increased allowance Of seed
to individual farmers and also to
increased allowance Of feed. Gov

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
GIVES OUT FIGURES

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 17.-"Farmers
should be able to buy bran at the
mill door in bulk at not to exceed
$26.35 q ton where the average
price of wheat at the mill Is $2.06
a bushel." said DR.. e. F. Ladd. Fed
eral Food Administrator, in an in
terview here.
These figures are based on a new
ruling Of the Milling Division of
the United States Food Administra-
ton. This ruling advised the mills
that temporarily and until q defin-
ite regulation Is issued, maximum
differential on feed on mixed car
lot or less than car lot shipments
should be so cents per ton over car
lot basis"
The Milling Division says: 1--WE
know of no reason why mills should
not desire to sell to farmers at mill
door: In fact, this regulation was
put into effect to accomplish this
very result as far as possible. We
have no doubt that mills generally
will fall into line to accomplish the
result desired"
The car lot basis, as announced
in q bulletin issued by the North
Dakota Food Administration De-
cember 22nd Is figured on ruling
issued by the United States Food
Administration which declared that
bulk price for bran shall in no case
exceed 38 per cent of the average
cost Of one ton of wheat at the mill.
On this basis the Federal Food
Administration figured that If wheat
cost at the mill $2.05 per bushel
the cash rates for bulk carload lots
at the mill should be as follows:
bran ......... ..'''$ 1o.oo
Shorts or standard midlings 27.85
Mixed feeds 800. ....... 2S.S5
Flour middlings go. ..... 1885
Red Dog ........ 4V.oo
For any other price OF wheat. per
bushel, the figures would vary In
proportion.
Under the new ruling, allowing
SO cents a ton additional for less
than carload lots, II the mill is pay
Ing $2.05 for wheat the price OF
bran in bulk at the mill In less than
a carload lot would be $26.35.
"The price for less than carload
lots in bulk should not in any case
exceed $26.50 at any mill in North
Dakota" say the Federal Food Ad-
ministration for North Dakota.

Some weeks ago The Tribune
warned the people Of Bowbells to
keep close watch on their chicken
house as chicken thieves had start
ed to get busy, and no thefts or at
tempted thefts were reported to US
since that time until last week,
when. Aug. Peters, who lives in the
east end of town told US that some
person had visited his hen house.
It happened on Tuesday night OF
last week, but just how many Of
the feathered tribe were carried
away Mr.. Peters is unable to state,
as he had not counted his flock be-
fore it entertained the nocturnal
visitor. Tracks in the snow plainly
showed that the thief had come
across some vacant ground and en-
tered the Peters premises from the
rear, and after visiting the hen
house, had departed the same way.
Mr.. Peters followed the fresh tracks

une again wishes to warn its read

WARNING SENT
BOYS IN CAMP

Camp Zachary, Taylor, KY, Jan.
17.-Grave warnings. to, soldiers OF
the Eighty-fourth division. National
army, in training here, to beware
of vampires, proflteering ip mat

manding general himself.
The warning was occasioned by
reports from other National Army
camps that women were marrying
soldiers, not because they cared for
them, or really wanted them sas -11us-
bands, but because of the SIS
monthly they would receive from
the government. So far as known
here there have been 10 such in
stances at Camp Taylor, but reports
Of such marriage from other camps
have been numerous. 49,. ,,,.. -.
The warning was issued because
1t was feared many boys away from
home surroundings, and feeling the
lack of home companionship. might
allow themselves to become easy
prey for INSCRIPTIONS women who
would marry them for revenue
only" go
Among reports of such marriages
from other camps is one from
Camp Mills. It reads:
"The increase In soldier we'd
dings here was said by a minister
to be due to the fact that women
had been marrying several soldiers
each and getting each husband to
make over half his pay to the wife.
This minister; who said other cler-
gymen in Hampstead had planned
to do likewise, has announced that
he will not marry women to- sol
diers until he Investigates thor

SHOUiD FARM EVERY ACRE

Nearly every farm has some por-
tion of it that is either not used at
all or is used in such way as to
produce very little. On many
farms there are patches of low
ground which can not be titled be-
cause they are wet. Usually when
drained these wet areas are the
richest land on the farm.
Just at present, when the world
is engaged in the most gigantic
struggle in its history, the forces OF
democracy against those Of auto
cracy, the product of these idle
acres is needed. This is an excel
lent time to put them into use
Small patches OF wet land can be
drained at small expense. Between
now and the opening up of spring
work there is ample time to do the
work. This year the farmer has
been able to sell his products at q
fair price and has the money with
which to buy the tile. Every farm.
er, part Of whose farm is unpro.
ductive because it needs drainage
should take advantage of the pres
ent opportunity to add to his crop
ping area by supplying the neces'
sary drainage. These lands will
produce more than average farm
lands. Every product will help tc
win the war.

SUPPORT HOME MERCHANTS

There is a great deal more wis
dom in buying at home and so keep
ing our money at home than may
at first appear. Grant that the
home merchants send most of what
we spend with them away to pay
for the products they sell US. Even
so the profits on what; we buy stays
in the community to support fam
lilies there who have an active home
interest and contribute to the up
keep Of roads, schools and other
community development. When
the profit goes to merchants in a
far-away city none Of it comes back
in taxes or otherwise. 1t is lost to
the community and the people are
so much poorer.
Merchants are somewhere going
to live from the profit Of the goods
we buy. Isn't It better that they
should be home merchants who will
return portion. Of that profit to
the community than merchants Of
some city that means nothing to us?
"A farming community loses some,
thing of vastly, greater value than
the. little money it may : save by
trading away from home. when
that course kills its town, as it GER

The town has social value that

look upon the feed proposition as
being equally as critical as the seed
situation.
About eighteen or twenty coun
ties are in need Of aid, according to
our reports continued Governor
Frazier: II have been requested
from time to time since last Nov
ember: to call a special session, but
had hesitated in hope that some
other solution would be found.
Two Crop Failures
Farmers who must be. given re-
lief are without credit because they
have had two crop failures and
state action is imperative If North
Dakota is to do its bit for the ma
tion. ..
"Only one or two counties that
are il, need, are so heavily bonded
that they cannot issue sufficient seed
grain bonds under the constitutions
al limit that gives counties the
right to bond for a total of only
five per cent of their assessed valu-
ation.",
Governor Frazier has hopes OF
seeing the session confined to three
or four days, estimating that /,
would cost about $4,000 for a
three days session. He thinks
that sufficient time in which to dis
pose OF the problems involved.
Hopes for Short Session
II believe legislators will be pa
triotic enough to conf1ne themselves
to emergency problems only" he
said. ..'I> cannot conceive that any
body will wish to assume RESPONSE
bility for a long session"
There are the usual pre-session
rumors of official investigation Of
several state departments, and
grinding of pet political axes. JUS,
now, one thing is certain, Bismarck E

ton Of the forthcoming session
which slwill be the second extraor'
