cording to telegram just received by
Lieutenant George A. Treadwell, Of
ficer in charge of recruiting for Min
nesota and North Dakota, from Com
mander James d. Wilson, inspector of

past several months the number of re-
cruits taken from this section has

predicted. All men accepted in the
new drive will be enrolled in the
Naval Reserve Force.

of relief work is being done in every

were raised by the pupils themselves.
The Red Cross Benefit dance Mon
day night Melted about $258.55 to the
local branch. The music was furnish

month of March the department
shipped 10,625 small dressings and so
of the paper-backed irrigation pads.
The Friday night classes have been
changed from mems classes to mixed

allotment for Sank Centre. d. B.
Caughren, J. N. McGibbon and J. A.
Schoenhof were appointed to have
charge of the arrangements.
For the month of April, the COM

Mr.. Sparkes appeared before the

PETTY THIEVES AT WORK.

Petty thievery is prevalent in Sank
Centre judging by reports which have
reached the Herald during the past
few days. Saturday of last week d. c.
VanCamp went to his home south of
the Great Northern depot and found
entrance had been forced into his gar
age, that a number of tires, rubber
and iron had been stolen. Wednesday
of this week he again visited his gar
age and found that the thieves had
been back and swiped the front wheels
of his Ford car including pair of
bran new tires. A. G. Salmond reports
that curtains have been stolen off cars
belonging to him, and perhaps there
are others. A petty thief is one of the
most despicable of mortals and the po-
lice should leave no stone unturned to
locate these criminals.

NO MEAT RESTRICTIONS.

Meatless Meals and Meatless Days
are no longer required. We ay ex-
pect meat conservation to be required
later in the summer, but at present
owing to lack of boats and railroad
shipping facilities, decreased con-
sumption and increased production,
there is at present plenty of meat in
the country and for the time being
conservation is not necessary. Lifting
this ban at present has been criticised
by a few people on the assumption
that the Food Administration didn't
know what it was talking about when
it asked us to conserve meat.
The fact is there has been urgent
need of meat conservation and prob
ably will be again early this summer.
The guaranteed price of pork and the
effort of farmers to feed soft corn this
winter before warm weather has re-
suited in a production of an unusual
amount of pork. Hogs were marketed
considerably heavier than under nor
NAL conditions, but in spite of this in
creased production, which is desirable,
it would still have been necessary for
us to continue with our conservation
had there been sufficient shipping to
get meat to Europe.
Wheat Conservation is the Great
Need at Present.
Lifting the ban on meat will prob
ably help to some extent in reducing
the demand for wheat. We have un-
limited quantities of potatoes, and
with plenty of potatoes served, also
meat and gravy, good meals can be
provided with use of minimum of
wheat. It is fortunate that our ex-
treme shortage of wheat has come at
this time of year. Eggs, milk, vege-
tables, meat and potatoes are all plen-
tifll.
The regulations with reference to
distribution of wheat flour are now as
follows:
No family, whether in the country
or in the city, shall be allowed more
than 30-day supply of wheat flour
based on &c lbs. per capita per month.
This means reducing the consumption
of wheat -four to one third of normal.
It will make necessary the liberal use
of substitutes and rigid reduction in
the use of articles containing any
wheat.
Yours very truly,
A. d. WILSON,
Federal Food Administrator
for Minnesota.
