Presents Serious Problem.
The decline in grain stocks presents
one OF the most serious problems fac
ing the food administration, which. Is
considering new methods of conserya-
ton to protect this country and the
allies against an actual wheat famine.
Whatever is done to save the situation,
will have to be done by the public, in
the opinion of officials, as the saving
will have to come out OF American
allowances. The allies are using as
little wheat as Is consistent with
health.
- Hoarding is the danger most feared
by food administration experts. who
believe the availaBfe supply will tide
over the shortage II wisely distributed.
Heavy individual purchases in the
past have upset supply arrangements.

North Dakota Council of Defense:
Dear Mr.. Chairman: &
Your state, in extending it's national defense
organization by the creation of community coun-
ellis, isin my opinion making an advance of vital
significance. It will, believe, result when thor
oughly carried out in welding the nation together
as no nation of great size has ever been welded be-
fore. It will build up from the bottom under
standing and sympathy and unity of purpose and
effort which will no doubt have an immediate and
decisive effect upon great undertaking. You
will find it, think not 50 much a new task as a
unification of existing efforts, fusion of ener
gies now too much scattered and at times some
what confused into one harmonious and effective
power.
1t is only by extending your organization to
small communities that every citizen of the state
can be reached and touched with the inspiration Of
the common cause. The school house has been
suggested as apt though no essential center for
your local council. 1t symbolZes one of the first
fruits of such an organization, namely, the spread
ing of the realization of the great truth that it is
each one of us as an individual citizen upon whom
rests the ultimate responsibility. Through this
great new organization will express with added
emphasis our will to win and our confidence in the
utter righteousness of our purpose.
