EATS" IN PARIS
Why the People of the United States
Are Asked to Conserve

Montpelier, Dec. 18-Captain Char
les Stewart, 59th Artillery, United
States Army, just returned to his
home in Washington after command
ing his battery at st. Mihiel and the
Argonne, reports that, in reaching
Paris the day the armistice was sign
cd, his first idea of a fitting celebra-
ton was a bath, the first in two
months, and dinner which should be
rare relief from the daily diet of
bully beef on the fighting line.
"What did you find to eat in Paris?''
he was asked.
"Well, you can't get any butter, or
sugar, and there's no milk to be had,
and no eggs
awe got eight oysters with green
rims on them, a partridge, and an
other bird, and a steak. The bill was
$50 francs for four of US about $50
in American cash."
When an American army officer,
whom the joyous Partisan populace
dragged from his taxi and carried
along with kisses and salutations on
the greatest festal day in history,
hailing him as q hero and deliverer
Of France, was denied butter and
sugar, milk and eggs on his first day
back from the front, the grim truth
shows plainly that these things are
practically impossible to find. To
children, old people, sick people and
the wounded men in hospitals they
are Indispensable foods.
The United States Food Admins
tration says: The need to ship food
overseas is greater than ever today.
Don't stop saving!

Leading cities of eastern North Da-

cent of their share of the 1918; aliot-

Dakota 80 per cent as much coal as il
had last year has to date received only
about 400 tons of hard coal. On the
basis of third of all coal handled
through the ports, Fargo should have
received approximately 4,600 tons OF
coal.
These facts were announced today
by j. P. Hardy, secretary Of the
Fargo Commercial club, in making
public a letter addressed to I. P. Bak-
er. federal fuel administrator fol-
North Dakota, asking that he issue
a blanket order to the dock compan-
les, requiring the proportionate dis.
tribution of anthracite to all commun.
tiles in North Dakota, giving to each
community it sproportion of coal as
it is shipped out of the Head of the
Lakes. 49, ...a
Representatives of the Commercial
clubs of Fargo, Grand Forks, Valley
City, jamestown and Wahpeton
who gatherd in Fargo early this
week to consider the fuel situation
are convinced that the outlook is de.

that the anthracite shipments are SC
far behind ra- %.
The letter addressed to Mr.. Baker
defining the coal situation follows.
Hon. I. P. Baker, state fuel admin.

TO THE ] / PUBLIC

The Barnes County Chapter of the
American Red Cross appreciates the
liberality of Barnes county peaple in
this particular work. Attention, how
ever, is called to the regulations gov
erning the raising of money for the
benefit of the Red Cross. It is neces-
sary to secure the approval of the
executive committee Of the Chapter
or at least Of the chairman for any
enterprise for raising money for the
Red Cross. This. applies to enter
tainments, sales and all other means
commonly used for the raising of
funds. AS the Red Cross has defn-
tie policy for raising money, it will
be best not to tancourage any enter
prise that conflif is with that system.
It will, therefore,, be necessary here
after to strictly enforce the rule of
securing approval from the Chapter
officers before any enterprise is an
nounced for the benefit of the Red
Cross. =.
Furthermore no funds raised in the
name Of the Red Cross shall be ex-
pended by the persons raising such
FUNDS or any others except by author
Ivy VI CLc cAcCuClVc VI CIlG
Barnes County Chapter, for Red
Cross purposes or any other purpose
whatsoever.
A little reflection will how that O
great an organization as the Red
Cross could not tolerate that it's name
shall be used for the promotion of any
cause or idea other han it's own great
work. Nor does it desire that the
people shall be annoyed by unneces-
sary or too frequent solicitation. The
executive committee Of the Barnes
County Chapter solicits the cooper
alton and help of all the people fthis
county, but fearing that abuses may
occur in the use Of the Red Cross
name, must request that approval of
plans be first secured. 1t is the inten-
ton of the officers to cooperate with
! any person or persons who have de-
sirable plans for securing funds in
the interest of this great patriotic
organization
! Respectfully.
