The Army and Navy demand 900 900 pounds
OF WOOL We produce but 280000,00 O-less than one
thlrd-and no wool for civilian use Russia has had
nowoolen underwear for three years-all Europe is
half-clothed and half fed.
Sheep supply the two great essentials of the h1-
man race-FOOD AND CLOTHING. If the war
stops tomorrow it will take ten years to repensh the
exhausted stocks.
Europe has lost all it's breeding stock-all ef-
forts to replace them after the war will be made
it will be gigantic undertaking. America will have
to supply the breeders. Good breeders will COM
mand top prices for at least ten years-10O choice
hardy breeding ewes will make you $4,000 in five
years.
Its a crime with the worldwide SUFFERING for
you to allow good grazing to go to waste when it
would feed from 20 to so sheep
We have plan whereby you can obtain Just the
number of choice breeding ewes you want without
taking culs and undesirables We deliver them tn
you, all paid, before you asked for one cent We
must ship in load lots consequently small orders
are punched and delivered at one point Get in

Congressman Young has asked Fed
eral Food Administrator Hoover to
send German prisoners to this state
to be placed on the farms to do the
work to make up for the shortage of
farm help by the war draft. From
a standpoint of shortage of labor this
might be all right, but we do not no.

Lately the Fargo Courier News
was printed on the Forum presses, on
account of the presses of the C N. be-
ing out of commission. This only
goes to show that no matter how hard
scrap opposing newspapers are
mixed up in when it comes down to
the real test the trouble is only skin
deep. The newspaper boys call each
other all sorts Of names, suggest that
if each other had their just rights
they would be occupying cell % in the
state pen, when either one gets into
trouble the stuff is off and the boys
help each other. Politics sometimes
make US appear to fight each other
rather roughshod occasionally, but
at heart the boys are just human like
other people and quite often let lit
tie of the milk of human kindness
flows into each others direction. IT'S
well. Let brotherly love prevail

The German people are evidently
staggered by the contrast between the
world-conquest they were so sure of
and the peace dictated from without
which they now begin to contemplate
as probability. After believing that
they had the world in a sling, it is
stunning to realize that after all
somebody else is likely to do the
singing.

The Houston Post urges the teach
ing of Spanish in the public schools
of Texas, and with reason. Except
for the Brazilian variant of Portu-
guese, Spanish is the only language
other than English spoken in all the
western hemisphere. French and
Spanish are the two foreign languages
young Americans will have most need
of in the future.

Both democratic and republican
campaigners are provoking smiles by
claiming too much. Some of the for
mer seem to think that this is the
democratic party's war instead of the
American peoples. Some of the lat
ter seem to think that republicans de-
serve enormous credit because, al
though out of power, they are loyal
to their country and have not taken
Germany's side in consequence of the
unwelcome fact that the democrats
have the management of affairs.

Rooms Ble and jolly.

But what wonderful task II has
accomplished The Chateau des
Hailes, transformed into a children's
hospital and rest home in furious
haste under the terrible pressure Of
war needs, with little time to think
twice and no time to retrieve errors,
is not. only one of the most complete
establishments of its Kind it is one of
the best children's hospitals In all
France. The two rooms where the
arriving children are isolated for a
few days are big, jolly. rooms--just
what is need to ,efface from the little
ones minds the memof-fes ef those iron
days behind the German lines. The
big play room is strewn with rocking
horses and wonderful smile-enticing
parrots and other toys carved by the
wounded poilus.
And so you stray from room to room,
and everywhere you find new evil
dences Of this watchful care. And
then you reach the bathrooms. This
chateau was built by q man Of wealth.
It's plumbing was excellent, and yet 1t
has been stripped out and replaced
with little, low wash basins and little
shower baths that the children can use
more comfortably. .a
That Is how your Red Cross thinks
and cares for Frances children.

CHATEAU DES HALLES
NOW CHiLDREM'S HOSPITAL
One Of the Most Complete Es.
tabIishments of Its Kind in
France, With Jolly Playrooms
and Toys to Amuse Patients.

Up In the mountains, where the
snow falls early and lies deep, 80 miles
from Lyons. Is the little French village
Of Les Halles-a story book village,
with its massive stone church standing
sentinel over two long rows Of trim,
blue-gray plaster cottages. And mile
farther ON is the Chateau des Halles,
where your Red Cross has established
q home for 200 sick children.
Mangini built the chateau. Man.
gini was the man who built the rail-
road along the Riviera and many 9TH
er railroads in France. And thirty
odd years ago he built this castle up
In the mountains for his country home.
But soon after his two children died.
Then he died, and when his widow fol-.
lowed him she left the chateau to the
city Of Lyons to be used as hospital
for children.
s.~ The Wars Wreckage.
Then came the war. A little rivulet
Of the wars wreckage began to trickle
in at -Evian-'repatries," elderly men
and women, children, even babies, who
had once lived in the parts of France
engulfed by the German tides and
whom the Germans, finding them use
less, were beginning to ship back into
France by way of Switzerland. Grad
ually this rivulet swelled. Soon 1000
of these unfortunates were arriving
at Evian daily. And fully half OF
them were children, undernourished,
thinly clad, dirty, sickly and, worse,
grim. spiritless, with faces that had
forgotten how TO smile.
To care for these children was the
task your Red Cross at once assumed.
Working with the French authorities.
the Red Cross secured permission to
make use of the old and almost forgot
ten Chateau des Halles up there in
the mountains. For years the castle
had been closed. No effort had ever
been made to fit it up as a hospital
Your Red Cross had to begin st the
very beginning.

Sugar For Canning

The Food Administration is
making every endeavor to see that
the country is provided with snp-
ply of household sugar on the basis
of three pounds per month. Do
not consume more. Saving from
this supply enough for use during
the approaching canning season is
not regarded as boarding.
It is also the intention of the
Food Administration to supplement
the 3-pound per month allotment
during the canning season with an
additional amount that will be am
pie for necessary canning opera
tions. The full Utilization of all
methods which will save sugar is,
however, strongly advised. Such
methods include putting up fruits
in their natural juices, the use of
syrups, drying, and the storage of
fruits and vegetables i'll pits and
cellars.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs

The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another. Ev-
cry one should adopt diet suited
to his age and occupation. Those
who have weak stomachs need to
be especially careful and shonld eat
slowly and masticate their food
thoroughly. It is also important
that they keep their bowels regular.
When they become constipated or
when they feel. dull and stupid
after eating. they should take
