CLERKS AND CARRIERS

Salary Increase for Postoffice En-
ployees Will Effect Morris
People

An amendment to the post Office
appropriation bill providing for an
increase of 5000 a year in the sal
aries of clerks, letter carries and
other postal employees and an in
crease of 20 per cent for rural mail
carriers and for employees receiving
less than $500 year was adopted
last week by the Senate.
Employees receiving between $500
and $1,000 annually would be given
increases of Is per cent and the pay
of substitute clerks and carriers
would be fixed at 40 cents an hour
For fourth-class postmasters, the
amendment provides that they shall
receive 100 per cent of stamps can
cellations on the first 500 or less,
or in the event cancellations do not
exceed $50, a 20 per cent salary in
crease.
This amendment provides increases
only for the fiscal year instead of
making them permanent. Senator
Bankhead estimates that about $40,-
100000 will cover the increases.

Farm Labor Bureau

The practical benefit of the EN-
ployment Bureau established last
year in Minneapolis at 101 End ave-
nue. South by the Minnesota Commits
sion of Public Safety has proved to
be a practical and efficient help to
the farmers. With late sart last
year a severe farm labor shortage
was avoided by the timely action on
the part of the Commission. The
record shows that $4,000 men were
placed throughout the state This
year the organization has been fur
Their enlarged and perfected until it
is believed that the Office will be able
to handle any emergency that may
arise in connection with labor on the
farms. Branch agencies are estab-
lished at strategic points throughout
the state, all of which are in close
and instant touch with the head Office
in Minneapolis.

SAVE FOOD AND HELP
SAVE LIVES ABROAD
Use As Little Wheat As Possible I'm
til This Years Crop is
Harvested

see that the peoples and armies of
Great Britain, France and Italy are
fed, so that they will not collapse as
Russia and Finland have done be-
cause of the Reorganization due to
German propaganda, injustice and
perative that we save and send wheat
and other foods absolutely required
in Europe during the months before
the next harvest. We cannot do it
unless we stop using them here. We
must realize that food is the weapon
with which America is going to be
able to maintain a position in this
war long enough to win it. The food
administration is not asking that
food be saved to save money, but to
save lives that will win the war.
The food administration is urging
that the sugar regulations providing
sugar for canning be taken advan-
tage of now and the maximum of all
kinds of food preserved in every
household for future use. The pres
ervatioon of home grown perishables
is one of the greatest possible aids to
food conservation and the possibility
of furnishing to the armies their re-
quired amount of food. Food grown
and preserved at home guards against
a possible food shortage; food grown
and preserved at home requires no
railroad transportation to bring it to
the family table and it releases for
portation that would be necessary to
bring food in that it replaces.
There are reasons why the food ad-
ministration has announced that so
long as sugar is available it may be
purchased by householders in quanti-
ties for canning and preserving only
upon certificate signed at the store
upon purchase. Sugar distributors re-
port big supplies on hand now and
the home Gamer should take full ad-
vantage of the opportunity, the food
administration states.
Each day adds it's quota to the
growing army of American wheat
abstainers Total abstainers' clubs"
are being formed in some places by
those who are willing to pledge their
entire wheat ration to the Allies. In
one western state both merchants and
consumers are offering stock of -four
to the government, some cities re-
tanning two pounds of -four per
month per capita. A large proper
ton of the parishes in Louisiana have
agreed to use no wheat until the new
crop comes in. One church congre
cation has adopted resolutions pledg-
ing the entire congregation consume
not more than three pounds per per-
son per month. Prominent clubs
throughout the country, both men
and women's clubs have held patri-
otto meeting pledging themselves to
abstain from wheat until after the
next harvest. The state of Texas
has gone on a wheatless basis from
April Is until June Is or longer.
What is your organization doing to
urge those who can afford it to per-
form one of their greatest services by
going without wheat and wheat pro-
ducts in any form until the next crop
comes in?

west bank of the Piave south Of
Fossalta. The number Of prisoners
is now reported as $4,000.
Emperor Charles is reported to be
in the southern Trentino directing the
offensive and dispatches from Switzer-
land say that thousands of troops are
being sent into the Trentino. Further
Austrian efforts undoubtedly may be
expected.
Activity on the front in France
continues of minor character. Ger
man efforts to drive the French from
their new gains around Hautebraye,
northwest of Scissors, were repulsed
by the French who increased their
captures to $40 prisoners. Small raids
have been carried out by the Ger
mans against British positions in
Picardy and Flanders.
American positions northwest Of
Chateau Thierry are being bomb
arded heavily with gas shells and
there are indications that the enemy
may again try to drive the Americans
from Belleau wood, and other terri
tory recently gained.
The enemy artillery fire also has
increased along the Marne east OF
Chateau Thierry, but there has been
no infantry activity. On the Yune-
vile front enemy raiders have cap
tured few American prisoners,
while in the Vosges, in Alsace, Amer

BIBLE SCHOOL CONVENTION

The Williams County Bible School
Convention was held at Grenora. The
sessions beginning Saturday after.
noon, June 18th, and ending Sunday
evening, June 10th, were interesting
throughout and the attendance was
exceptionally large with much en-.
thusiasm and interest manifested in
every session, is big with the prom.
Use that much will be accomplished in
the Sunday School work in Williams
county the coming year.
We believe that the impetus of this
convention will be felt by every school
represented and that the standard Of
Sunday School work will attain q
much higher grade of efficiency, be-
cause of the fellowship, inspiration
and instruction given at the conven.
ton.
Saturday evening the parade under
the direction Of the County President
assisted by the Pastor Loci, demon
strated to the minds of all present
that something was about to take
place that is really worth while. The
Band, the County Officials, the floats
drawn by a tractor-engine, the auto
mobiles, were some of the features ir
that we'll planned event.
Following the parade they imme
diately took up the program which
proved to be a series Of devotions
hymns, solos, conferences, lecture:
! and addresses ending with patriotic
session, and an exhortation to put int
practise the things learned at tn
convention.

new MEAT ORDER
FROM Mr.. HOOVER
ADVOCATES USE OF LESS BEEF
PORK TO BE USED AS
SUBSTITUTE

Because of shortage in the beef
supply and at the request Of the Uni
ted States Food Administrator, Her.
bert Hoover, the following is effec-
tive for all public eating houses in
North Dakota:
Hotels and restaurants shall not
place on their menus or serve boiled
beef more than two meals weekly,
beefsteak more than one meal week.
" and roast beef more than one meal
weekly.
Hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses who are subject to this ruling
are asked to serve fresh pork, ham,
bacon and sausage in place Of beef
products wherever possible.
In his telegram, Mr.. Hoover, says:
'"The demands for our beef for onr
army and the allied armies and their
civil populations for this summer are
beyond our present surplus. On the
other hand we have enough increase
supply of pork this summer to per-
NIT economical expansion in it's use.
It will therefore be direct service
to our armies and to the allies if our
people would in some degree substi-
tute fresh pork, bacon, hams and
sausage for beef products.
1--WE ask householders not under
any circumstances to buy more than
one and one quarter pound of clear
beef weekly and one and one half
pounds, including the bone, per per-
son in the household. The public
will realize the changing conditions
of production from season to season;
the changing situation in shipping
and therefore of the markets avail
able to the allies and the increasing
demands for our growing army with
the fluctuating supply of local beef
in France, makes it impossible to de-
termine policies for long periods in
advance. We have recently asked for
economy in all meat consumption. We
wish now to emphasize further re-
duction of beef by the substitution Of
pork. It is anticipated that it will
hold good until September 18th and
the cooperation of the public is most
earnestly requested"

Federal Food Administrator.
