THE WEEKS FOOD FACTS.

A personal word to the readers OF
The independents:
All restrictions have been removed
from the use of beef and the public
is now informed that they may use
beef freely and at all times. The ban
has been lifted on beef in public eat
ing places and hotels, restaurants and
other eating houses are now allowed
to serve beef at any and all meals.
Unusually dry conditions in the
southern states has led to an unusual
supply of light beef cattle on the mar
kets, which is the reason for the in
creased supply Of beef, which allows
the Food administration to lift the
beef restrictions.
This will be relief to harvesters
and threshing crews who may now
use beef freely at all times.

Federal Food Administrator

Harold Dunnell, son of VIM. Dun
nell, of the Minot Flour Milling Co.,
was taken to local hospital Sunday
suffering from injuries sustained
when the auto which he was driving
ran off a grade east of the city. There
were eight people in the car and it
is a miracle that all the occupants
were not crippled as the car turned

KANNlNG CULTUR
By Fritz"

Lets start War!" says Willum;
"Yea Boz" says all the rest,
LET the Graclad Bullies kill 'em,
Show 'em Prussians at their best!
With our heavy guns We'll batter
Belgium's towns. 1t doesn't matter
That we've treaties. We will shatter
Them, at Colts and your behest."
with our Zepps and U-boats sailing;
With Won Hindenburg in France,
We will hand the world whaling.
We will make 'em do our dance!
And we'll force the girls unwilling,
While the old folks we are killing
And the cries of infants shilling.
"Can they stop US? Not chance"
"Our Crown Prince is a winner,
His boys will make 'em sick;
He will eat his Christmas dinner
In old Paris, pretty quick.
AS to Yankees, we should worry!
They're in such an awful furry
Making money in hurry
That they'll never make a kick"
So the Prussians took a notion
That the whole world they could
mock,
And they set their gang in motion
And in Belgium met block;
The British and the Trenches
Hurried up and filled the trenches
While the Belgian boys threw wrenches
In the Hohenzollen clock.
The Yanks just dropped their striving
To corner all the cash,
And the boys in France arriving
Introduced new "pep" and "dash".
To the battle line they're coming
And have started things a-humming.
Soon the Kaiser will be cumming
Folks he knows for daily hash.
And the Crown Princes Paris dinner!
He will get it., without fail.
They will take that crazy sinner
And feed him from q pail.
While the Stars and Stripes unfurl,
they'll
Tons Of she'll and gas-bombs hurl,
they'll
Make the Kaiser's whiskers curl,
They'll
Have his bully boy in Jail!
When the Sammies get thru pouring
Lead among the "Kultured" beasts;
When the guns shall stop their roaring
And the sounds of warfare cease;
All mankind will be wiser,
There will be no Boche lies, or
Fen a German Kaiser,
And the world will be at peace.

voice Is classed as an enemy of the
country.
Il cannot understand this policy that
tells US for eight to ten months TO
have meatless days and then says we
need to eat more meat in order to
save wheat. One day we are told
meat cannot be moved. the next day
we are told there Is not enough wheat
They tell us to eat chicken, then they
tell us not to eat it. This Ia a foolish,
idiotic policy.
