WAR PROBLEMS
TO BE- ISSUE
AT 5. 5. MEET

All patriotic Sunday school work
ers will attend the twenty ninth an
nual convention Of the North Dakota
Sunday School association at Grand
Forks, June Al. The present con-
ditions in the country and the world
are such as constitute Sunday school
work a war measure.
I'VE all gladly contribute to the
war relief agencies for the comfort
and efficiency of our brave lads in
the convention.
They deserve 1t and more than
we do. We must not forget, however,
that ten boys between IS and 25 re-
main at home for every one that
goes to the front, to say nothing Of
the million Of younger boys and
girls and children. The future Of
the nation depends on the moral and
religious training Of the young lives.
We cannot afford to neglect them.
Sunday school work is a war
measure because crime has increas-
ed to an alarming extent, especially
among young people. This Is due in
many cases to the removal of par
entail authority and the spirit of ad-
venture that Ais the minds Of young
people during such times as these.
Juvenile crime has greatly increase
since the beginning of the war"
The stimulating, uplifting and
stabflizing influences of the North
Dakota Sunday School convention
were never needed in this state as
they are at this moment, the an
nouncement adds.

Burbank EUOIUeS
4 'iSuper Wheat =

Santa Rosa, Calf, May IA
super wheat" containing four per
cent gluten, has been evolved by
Luther Burbank, the noted California
horticulturist, after experiments ex-
tending over eleven yearE, it was an
nounced here today.
The wheat may be gown from
Hudson Bay to Patagonia, and is in
tended to replace the California va
riety with it's low content of gluten.
In the past millers have had to mix
California and Northern wheat in or
der to produce a bread making -four
The new wheat is said to be of the
winter variety, hardy and producing
a white flour. The production to the
acre is said to run about the same as
the California wheat.
Mr.. Burbank has turned his atten-
ton to a new. rye and barley In
which he hopes to increase the
amount of gluten now obtainable In
these grains.
Mr.. Burbank said eighty varieties
of rye at present are under a cross
ing process on his farm near here In
connection with experiments to create
new rye and barley which would
eliminate difficulties similar to those
found in wheat.

AS finally agreed to. the bill pro-
vides youths registered under 1t shall
be placed at the bottom Of the lists
of those classes to which they will

American, and yiolatiye of the prin-
ciple that all Americans are equal. z

necessary to exempt medical stu
dents in order that the doctors who
lose their lives in the war may be
replaced and the country saved from
al recurrence of the prevalence of
"quacks" from which 1t suffered
some Is years ago.

answer of Gloucester ship owners

rino raid on portions of the North
Atlantic fishing feet in July and
August.
II the enemy planned his descent
on these helpless craft for its psyche
logical effect he certainly achieved
his aim, but the effect was the OPP
nosite from what he sought. Instead
of being intimidated by the sinking
of many of their vessels, the salty
mariners of GIoucester-and this is
true of other parts as well-have set
their teeth and by word and act have
shown their determination to con-
tinue business as usual"
In the period covered by the raid
from July % to August 26, twenty
nine fishing vessels were sunk by
the Germans, some by 'shellfire
others by bombs, and at least one
according to its captain, by a torpe

Fire Damages New Willard
Hotel at Washington to !
Extent Of 100000

chiefly owned in Gloucester or Bos-
ton, but few hailed from Canadian
and Newfoundland ports, principally
Lunenburg, N. s.
The sunken vessels totalled 1916
tons, with an estimated value of more
than 100000. The insurance which
the owners were able to collect was
little more than so per cent Of this.
Moreover, the replacement cost, un-
dor present conditions, would In
many cases be more than double the
amount which was required to build
these craft. 1t Is figured that ves-
sci which cost $4,000 few years ago
could not be replaced now for less
than $35,0OO
The losses, however, have been
well distributed. The Gorton-Pe "
Vessels Company of this city was
robbed of the greatest number of
vessels but the Chisholm Corpora
ton, also Of Gloucester, which lost
two modern schooners, sustained the
heaviest individual financial damage.
About one million pounds Of fish,
most of which had been caught by
the toilsome methods of the hand
liner, or captured by the skillful har.
poon of the swordfish hunter, was
returned to the deep The 20 vessels
sunk were capable of an annual pro-
duction of about six million pounds
of fish.
Vessel owners here are hoping that
the financial problems involved in
maintaining the fishing feet at the
highest point of numbers and efflci-
ency will be solved by the extension
of aid by the federal war risk insur-
ance bureau. Negotiations to this
end are well under way.
Owners, masters, and fishermen
are gratifled at the steps taken by
the navy department to protect the
feet. Many of them, however, would
like to have their craft armed, SO
that instead of being forced to stand
by idle and watch the enemy sink
their vessels, they could at least at
tempt to hit back in case of sub
marine attack. Their point of view
has been explained to the navy de
Dartment by Captain Clayton Nor
rissey of the beam trawler Walrus

set after September Is, in rows about
10 inches apart, one plant every six
inches.
Radishes may be planted any time
for home use. 1t is best to sow few
each week so as to have them tender
and crisp. The French turnip and
Long Scarlet are good varieties.
Beets, carrots, rutabagas and tur-
nips make satisfactory growth during
the fall and winter, and can be plant
ed up to February.
Tomatoes are recommended for a
fall garden crop in South Florida.
Plant in the usual way in four foot
rows. The plants should be set at
the earliest possible date.
Snap beans should be planted as
quickly as possible, as they are killed
by freezing temperature, and should
be gotten in at least so days before
the first freeze is expected. Have the
rows two or three feet apart. and
sow the seed thicker than for the
spring crop.
