BAKER
 EXPLAINS THE
 VICTORY LOAF

As concrete example of the say ing in wheat which is effected by the substitution of twenty per cent. mixture in the making of the Vic. tory Loaf Theodore Heyder, of the Peerless Bakery this morning said that his bakery alone saves over 30 pounds of white flour every day.
 We are not baking as much wheat bread as formerly, but are making more rye bread and other breads. The Victory bread is not in as much demand as the breads made entirely from other Hours, but on an average baking of 200 loaves daily of victory bread we effect saving of one sack of flour daily, owing to the sub stitution of the twenty per cent. of other flours," he said.

AS you may note the amendment

NUMBER of signatures to a petition for
the submission of an amendment, and
the greatest objection to it was that
it did not fix the maximum number of
signatures To have declared that a
petition must not contain the sigma

merely an act of folly. The purpose
of every initiative petition is to show
a demand for some measure by at
least certain number or per cent OF

that statutes do always Fix the lowest

THE e. n, S. AND THE WAR.
" NV Carl Loving

The young people ought to be more
interested in this war than the older
epople because they are to become
the men and women of the United
States. The young people in the Bis.
marck High School are much interest
ed in it. -E
The interest began to show strong
ly after last Lexington Day. On this
day Mr.. Weaver otsthesUnited States
navy spoke at the Auditorium, and
the next morning at the B. Fl. $.
These talks influenced the students
very much; so much that some of
them enlisted then in the navy. More
have enlisted since then. But not
only in ,enlisting has the High School
helped, but in other ways.
This year the Bismarck High pledg-
ed over four hundred dollars for the
Y. NJ. C.. A. Also every member of
the High is a member%of the Junior
Red Cross. The Freshman class gave
a play, "The Man Without COun-

THE JUNIOR PLAY

At this time of the year the main
interest in the high school is always
the junior play. This year is no eX-
ception. Not only the juniors-those
in the cast, who have been working
heart and soul on the production, and
the rest of the class, each OF whom
feels personally conCerned-'bu the
whole student body, are looking for
ward to this event. 1t Is an annual
affair and really the event of the year,
being the most prominent appearance
of the school before the public. Fresh
men and sophomores look forward to
chance of being in the junior play;
seniors and alumni look back upon
it as one of the cleaning experiences
of the four years.
The play this year is unusually at
tractive The school has been so much
concerned in the thought and work OF
the war that it was thought best for
this evening to lay aside all of this
and get away from the anxiety and
the darker view Of the times. The
piece is comedy, and an exception
ally successful one, having been found
especially suitable for high school pro-
duction. 1t has proved itself a win
ner, being the popular play of the
year for high schools. The rehearsals,
held in the high school auditorium
after school, .haye attracted a good
deal of attention; the play being one
of those that naturally advertises it.

General Pershing Demands the
Right of Way For Books

Washington, d. c., March 16.-By
ordering that shipping space IN the
amount of fifty tons per month be SET
aside by the army transport service
for the shipment to France OF Amerl'
can Library Association books Tor
soldiers, Gen. Pershing has given un.
mistakable recognition to the need OF
reading matter for the use OF our
men in France.
Shipping space is extremely valu'
able, and Gen. Pershig would never
have allotted so much OF 1t to the Am
erican Library Association II he did
not thoroughly believe in the value
Of books to fighting men. BY setting
aside fifty tons OF shipping space per
month, he has made it POSSIBLE for
the American Library Association to
send to France monthly average OF
100000 volumes This task the A. L.

From base hospitals TO billets as near

books are being placed in the hands
OF our fighting men. ...:
To maintain an adequate supply, the
collection of hundreds of thousands
OF books will be necessary. The Am
erican Library Association is buying
by the hundreds OF thousands text
books and other serious books, for
which there is enormous demand, but
it is looking to the public to supply
by gift the millions OF volumes Of
lighter Instrumentation poetry, trav-
ell, etc.-which our men must have.
In addition tothe' overseas service,
the American Library Association
must keep it's camp libraries at can
tonmen1s supplied and must also sup
ply small camps, naval stations, naval
vessels and transports with books.
Already nearly three hundred of these
are receiving the A. l.. A. service.
TO meet these needs a nationwide
