is mainly of wax but they declare
that it is entirely possible that it may
contain enough nitro-glycerine to do
great damage, but if it is a death
bomb, it is very crude affair. The
miners say that it is looks very much
as tho it is sort of fusee used on
the railroads, but cannot imagine
what Schwartz could be doing with it
in Minot. The miners took part Of
the candle and lighted it and declare
that it is composed mainly of wax.
There is no inclination on the part Of
the police to handle the thing other
than in a very careful and cautious
manner. The Burlington men who
made the examination are Einar Mad,

last named two being we'll known
miners.
Schwartz declared to the Indepen-

Minot to light them at a hospital
which he expected to enter for treat

and lungs" which he imagines he
contracted from his wife.

.LADD SAYS STATE WILL
DO SHARE IN CONSERVING
Asks HousehoIders to Reduce Use OF
Wheat to One end One Half
Pounds Per Person Per Week.

Il am sure the people of North Da-
kota will do their share in conser-
wing wheat and thus help to win the
war" said DR.. f.. F. Ladd, federal
food administrator, relative to the
report from Washington, ID. c., that
the United States must reduce its
monthly consumption of wheat from
100000 bushels per month to 21,-
100000 bushels per month, a re-
duction of about 80 per cent in the
normal consumption.
THE wheat crisis has reached an
acute stage" said the federal food
administrator for the state of North
Dakota. ''The populations Of Eng
land. France and Italy are wholly de-
pendent upon the United States for
wheat and wheat is essential to these
populations If they are to continue
to back their armies as they must IL
those armies are to hold the Ger
man hordes."
DIR Ladd asks residents OF the
state to limit their use of wheat to
one and one-half pounds per person
per week and that public eating
places observe the two wheatless
days-Monday and Wednesday, be-
sides one wheatless meal each day
and in addition not to serve wheat
products at all unless specially or
dered and then to limit the total
amount Of wheat products to any one
meal to two ounces.
