at Aberdeen in December, as follows:
Resolved, That in view of the wide
spread destruction of food products
and other property of the utmost i'm
portance and value at this time in the
successful prosecution of the war, it
is necessary that prompt and vigorous
action be taken to prevent the contin-
uance of the same, especially through
out this state located in the heart of
the wheat and other cereal producing
section Of the country: and
Resolved, further, That it is the
sense of this council that the duty of
organizing and executing such protec
tive measures devolves upon the coun-
ell and the executive officers of the
state, with the assistance of all other
officials and citizens; and
Resolved, further, That as a mere

point to be designated by the governor
and to be presided over by him.

RuIlna on MeatIess DAYS.

Wheatless day should be observed
throughout the entire day and not
only until 6 o'clock in the evening.
The same is rue of meatless Tuesnay,
says c. N. Herried, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for South Dakota. Reports
have reached Mr.. Herried that certain
hotel and restaurant men observe
meatless and wheatless days up to 6
o'clock p. m. only, thinking that the
day ends at that time. This is a
wrong idea altogether. as the Food
Administration desires the observance
of the entire day of t~wenty-four hours.

VIII Hold

ENLISTED men from the farms as lar
as possible should be permitted to do
farm work during the coming season.
This is the substance of a resolution
passed by the farmers attending the
farm and home course at State col
lege. The State Council of Defense
is urged to convey this message to the
government in view of the great
need Of intelligent farm labor as a
means of greater food production in
South Dakota. 1t was also resolved that
the members of the course pledge
themselves, individually and collec-
lively. diligently to conserve food, es-
pecially sugar, meat, butter and wheat
products. 1t was also recommended
that the legislature Of South Dakota
should appropriate sufficient funds to
enable the agronomy department of
the tate college and experiment station
TO proceed with a systematic soil and
crop survey with a view to increased
crop yields and permanent farming.
1t is further unanimously resolved TO
pledge anew loyalty to the government
and to give every POSSIBLE service to
enable the nation to secure a victory
and lasting peace. The attendance
from other counties at the farm and
home course was greater than any pre-.
ceding year.
A special feature of the sessions was
an address on Modern Rural Schools
by Prof. A. P. Hollis of the North Da-
kota agricultural college.
F. o. Simondson, deputy market
commissioner of South Dakota, de-
scribed the work of the commission
and reviewed its history. He stated
that the duties of the director of mar
kets are to assist in the marketing of
farm products, to supply farmers and
others with information as to the mar
kets, to assist the public in adopting
efficient marketing methods and to ex-
change information with the United
States department Of markets. He
dwelt at length on the Improvement
of the potato market this year, the
subject of dockage by the grain buyer
and the soft corn situation. He as
serted that it is a patriotic duty to
preserve all the corn and that farmers
elevators and cooperative companies
should install dryers to preserve corn
which otherwise might be wasted.
DR.. Z. C. Perisho, president of State
college, paid a glowing tribute to the
farmer as a patriot. He asserted that
the patriotic farmer is a necessity be-
cause of the enormous demand for in.
creased production. He said that
there must be a greater acreage Of
spring wheat in order TO make up for
the shortage of winter wheat and the
increased demand for wheat to supply
the allies. The allies will need more
than 300 million bushels. The surplus
of our last harvest was less than 100
million bushels of wheat. I'VE must
not only use every effort to produce
food for u soldiers and our allies"
he said, but we must raise enough
also to feed the Amrican people who
remain at home. so hat none may
suffer. A hungry people in a land of
plenty will never be the most patriotic
nation"

Maurer Has Friends
Close to President
Working For Him

Commenting upon a dispatch from
Washington intimating that his ap-
plication for a passport to attend the
Radicals congress in London would
be refused, James II. Maurer, presi-
dent of the State Federation of La
Dor. told a Telegraph reporter. this
morning that he annlicatinn had
been made out twelve hours after he
was elected a delegate to the con-
gress. Friends who are on intimate
terms with some of the Presidents
closest advisers" he declared. are in
terceding for him. Everything is
being done to secure my passport, by
men who are very close to the Pres
ident. Up to this time, have re-
ceived no word
"If there is any doubt as to my
mission, 1 shall be glad to go to
Washington and explain" he contin-
ued. Personally. 1 feel that my
passport will be granted. can
hardly understand why the English
government will allow its labor rep
resentatives to come to America. and
America will not allow her labor rep
resentatives to go to England. This
country should grant the same privi-
lege. There are four labor men
here from England now, consulting
with the American labor representa-
tiVes"

mite plans will be announced later.

ginning of the storm that caused u
thin coating of slippery ice on the
pavements over the city. The con-
ditions on the payements were as
bad as they have been at any time
this winter, and pedestrians had to
slide their way about their business.
Continuing rainfall, and rising tenn
perature, gradually wore away the
thiE ice sheeting, and by noon con-
ditions had changed from slippery to
slushy.
Ice Remains Gorged
The ice in the lower Susquehanna,
gorged between Cresswell and York
Furnace remains gorged as tightly
as before. The water is seeping
through slowly eliminating flood
dangers.
At Jersey Shore the ice remains
TANNED in ten-mile gorge. The
water has found a way through, and
the water back of the ice dam has
receded a foot and a half in the
last "a hours. AS the water falls,
the ice settles with it, and increased
rainfall will break up the pack. 1t
is highly problematical, however,
whether there is enough rain in
prospect to-day and tonight to clear
the river of the packed ice.
1t is said there is still an abund-
ance of snow in the mountains,
which will add much to the volume
of water in the river it the rainfall
is heavy enough and temperature is
high enough to melt it all.
A cold wave will follow the rain
storm of to-day, and by Thursday
the temperature will drop to twenty
degrees or below, Mr.. Demain said.
The storm of to-day is general,
spreading over the entire country.

eral Points Along the
Susquehanna

Rain which started to fall this
morning is expected to cause a rise
in the river here before nightfall,
but whether or not to q dangerous
degree depends upon the amount of
rainfall.
The aspect of the storm this
morning was highly problematical,
Weather Forecaster Domain pointed
out, and the amount of rainfall can
not be determined beforehand. With
two inches of rain, Mr.. Domain said,
and a rise in temperature, the river
will reach flood stage by to-mor-
row morning. Mr.. Domain affirmed
however, that the rain does not
promise to be heavy, and damage is
unlikely.
The storm is a fast moving one,
and will be past by morning, or pos
sibly by night. The temperature is
