Animals To Be Put On
Rations, Says DR.. Ladd

Fargo. N. D., Sept. 1o.-"Animals
are to be put on rations as a result of
a shortage Of animal foodstuffs," said
Federal Food Administrator E. F,
Ladd today. on his return from. Wash
ington, where he attended a tonfer-
ence with Mr.. Hoover. There is a
great shortage of animal feed, es-
pecially oats and corn, not only in
the United States but throughout the
Allied world.
"Mill feed is to be placed under alb
solute control. 1t will be allowed to
be used only for mich cows, young
pigs and sows and young chickens. It
will be prohibited for use as food for
draft animals and all animals kept in
cities except those enumerated. 1t
will not be permitted for use in pro-
prietary feeds.
Mill feed, which is the feed milled
from wheat. is essential for animals
which raise young and for the young
animals. 1t Is the best and cheapest
available animal feed and it must be
safeguarded for the use where it is
essential"

Careless Use. of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins It.
The best thing. for steady use Is just
ordinary mulsihed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless). and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you a use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. It makes an abund-
ance Of rich. creamy lather, which
rinses out easily. removing every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and 1t leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsined cocoanut. oil
at any pharmacy. It's YER cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every MEM

upon lands, and the elimination of
personal property from taxation, to
be unjust to the people generally and
especially injurious to, the ,agricul-
tural interests of this state. =
We are opposed to any amendment
OF the state constitution which will
remove the safeguards now surround
ing the school funds of the state, and
we are unalterably opposed to any
program favoring the investment of
these funds in other than gilt-edged
securities; and when such funds are
invested in mortgages, in no case
should the amount loaned exceed one
half Of the actual valuation Of the
securities.
We vigorously object to having our
political affairs controlled by a So
cialist autocrat living outside the state
and having no interest here other
than a desire to experiment with a
program OF state socialism to the
detriment Of the citizens Of North Da-
kota. .3.t
We favor the building and operat-
ing at the expense Of the state, a
terminal elevator, its location to be
determined by a commission appoint
ed by the governor for that purpose.
We favor submitting to the people
OF the state, an amendment to the
constitution allowing the erection of
a state-owned flour mill, and recon-
mend it's adoption.
Recognizing the fact that education
is a material factor in the develop
ment of high standards of citizenship.
we pledge ourselves to an efficient and
energetic program for the betterment
of u rural schools, that the youth
of the state, both in the villages and
on the farms may have the best pos
sible educational advantages.
We urge the extension Of our. pres
ent Nonpartisan judiciary school bal.
lot so that it may apply to all county
and legislative Offices.
We urge the next legislative as
sembly to give careful consideration
to the present primary law, that II
may be SO amended that the will OF
the voters of the state may be clear
ly carried out in the, simplest and
most direct manner possible. We rec
ommend that at the opening Of the
next Legislative assembly in this state
a joint committee from the house and
the senate consisting Of seven men,
bers be appointed by the speaker of
the house and the president of the
.(senate instructed to draw ,an amend
ment to u present primary law, the
purpose of which shall be the carry
ing out of this platform pledge.
We favor an amendment to the
constitution providing for state hail
insurance by an acreage tax.
Realizing that good roads Is a ma.
terial factor in improving our rural
communities bringing about a better
understanding and feeling between
u rural and urban population, w
urge the utmost cooperation with the
federal government in its GOOD

mote the building and maintaining OF
roads in every community to the end
that the avenues of transportation to

zens gathered on the court house

bust and the dedication Of the county

man Of. the Lincoln committee, pre-
sided. The program opened with a
selection by the Portland Concert
band. which, although nearly one
half of it's membership has been
called to the colors. as evidenced by
its service flag, still retains it's or
ganization and rendered music much
enjoyed by the large audience. The

by the band, after which Rev. v. H.

unless restrained, to cause said propo-
sttion to be printed upon the, official
ballot for the general election, Novem-
Der 5, "all to the great expense Of the
citizens and Taxpayers of the state, in
Guiding this petitioner, and to the ef-
feet Of creating strife, turmoil, dis
putes and issues among the people of
IN so proceeding the defendant is act
ing without authority and in excess
OF his Jurisdiction"
The petitioner further sets forth
that the second subdivision of Sec. 202
OF the constitution under which pur-
ported constitutional amendment the
defendant is proceeding has no legal
of the state of North Dakota, in that
1t was not entered on the legislative
journals, together with the aye and
nay vote thereon. The petitioner con-
tends that Sec. '25 of the original con-
stitution is in full force and effect,
unamended and Unchanged; that two
separate and distinct propositions for
amendments to Sec. rs were submit
ted to the voters and approved by
them and ratified by the legislature,
contrary to law and constitutional
authority.
Not Self Executing (1).
The petitioner also raises the issue
that subdivision 2 Of Sec. 2O2 Of the
constitution, as purported amended by
Article 16 is not self-executing, in
that it contains no provision by which
the suficiency of the petitions sought
to be filed Hereunder. either in re-
spect to the number of signatures
necessary to constitute 25 per cent OF
the voters in any county, or by which
the secretary Of state a determine
the authenticity Of the alleged sigma.
lures, or by which he can determine
whether the petitioners were lega
voters In said counties at the time
they signed the petitions.
It is further alleged that this pur.
ported amendment does not provide
for the number of petitioners neces'
sary on such petition and that it does
not provide the necessary machinery
for the submission Of any such con.
stitutional amendments. 1t is further,
more commended that the form ofttht
is. insufficient, in that it contains M
enacting clause. For this eason thu
petitioner asks that the secretary o,
state be restrained from further ad'
vertisement of these proposed amend
ments and hat he be restrained from
having these amendments printed OF
the official ballots for the genera
election November s.
No Opinion Available (1).
The secretary of state shortly afte,
the petitions were filed with him asked
the attorney general for an opinion
as to the course which the secretar,
of state should pursue in the matter
in view Of the decision Of the supreme
court in the New Rockford capital re

tanned Bismarck's contention settin,
forth the same objections as embodie,
