When the. books are closed this eve
ming, 1t is expected that the figures
will be very near the $376,00O.
The committee today was especially
grati1ed yer the manner in which
subscribers visited headquarters and
signed up. Yesterday, there were an
unusually large number OF small SUBJ
today, the $50 bonds being taken in
large quantities.
Twice this week, the executive
committee made a special plea for the
$50 subscribers and this was reiterat-
ed today. The success OF the cam
paign depends upon the small sub
scribers. it was pointed out, and con-
sequently many are asked to sign up
at once. Grand Forks ought to dou-
BILE the $4,000 allotment, hut to do
this. there must be many. many more
the especially large subscriptions are
in.
Here is what a $50 bond will do:
1t will protect 1000 soldiers from
smallpox and 666 from typhoid. 1t
will assure the safety of 1879 wounded
soldiers from lockjaw. the germs Of
which swarm in Belgian soil.
1t will render painless 400 opera
tions. supply " miles of bandaSes-
enough to bandage 555 wounds.
1t will care for 100 injuries in the
way Of "frst-aid packets"
1t will furnish adhesive plaster and
surgical gauze enough to benefit
thousands of wounded soldiers.
Every purchaser of a Liberty Loan
bond performs a distinct individual
service to his country and to the boys
fighting in France.
Isn't it all worth $50?

CUT FLOUR SALES
Hoover Plans Building Up

Believes e. s. Can SeEd Allies
80 Million Bushels in Flour.

Washington, Jan. 24.-To create a
large export surplus of flour for the
lilies, the food administration is con-
sidering a plan of forced reduction in
flour sales all the way from the mil
Ter to the consumers. MillerS, whole
salers, retailers and bakers proba bly,
will be required to hold their sales of
-four down to rs per cent of the
amount now handled.
AS the allies are demanding from
100000 to 1O0,0OO,0O0 more bush
els of wheat, the food administration
has arranged to take over thirty per
cent of Americas flour production, out
of which will be selected supplies for
export.
MiIIers Recommend Plan.
Food administrators believe the
United States can give Europe 3d.
100000 bushels of wheat made into
flour between now and the time the
new American crop comes in, without
endangering the American supply.
Details of the plans have not been
fully worked out but millers and deal
ers thruout the country have been
asked for their opinion as to the best
means lof reducing consumption and
most of them believe that a reduction
in sales to the public is the best way.

ALL PULL TOGETHER
DIR. Guild Tells How War Has Brought
Churches Together.

Never has been such progress in the
spirit of Christian unity as there has
been since the war in Europe began
This is the way DR.. Roy Guild sum
med up the situation of the churches
of today in a speech before the FEEDER
alton of Topeka churches at the Cham
Der of Commerce this noon.
About 100 guests were present at
the luncheon of the federation and
this number was augmented by about
fifty other people shortly before DR..
Guild began his talk.
In his speech DIR. Guild touched on
the present union of the Baptist
church, north and the Baptist church,
south, in carrying on the war work in
the various army camps. The mis-
sionary bodies of these two churches
have united in their work among the
Baptist soldiers in the army camps"
said DIR. Guild, land the representa-
tive of the two bodies is paid by each
one of the two churches"
- DIR. Guild also spoke of the union of
the various branches of the Lutheran
church in New York city He said that
there was a comprehensive movement
on foot among the various churches
of the country to form some kind of
union whose motto should be Service
to the community? instead of Ser
vice to each individual church. In
celebrating on this theory DR.. Guild
spoke of unions of the churches which
have been accomplished in various
cities of the United States and the
good effect that these unions had had
on the various communities where the
union had become permanent.

earding cantonment locations
Think of that Senator Chamber
lain shouted, he was not even con-
suited with reference to the sites and
not a single cantonment was built in
accordance with his recomm endations
for fifty feet of space for each man.
Senator Chamberlain then read
previously published reports of camp
conditions showing lack of winter
clothing in some instances, over
crowding and prevalence of measles
and interrupted to refer to Secretary
Raker's statement to the committee
that Everything was all right at these
cantonments.
Senator Chamberlain said if Surgeon
General Gorgas'S recommendation for
greater space had been observed, DIS
ease at least would have been reduced.
Have these recommendations been
followed?" asked Republican Leader
Gallinger-
Recommendations Not Followed.

places but the recommendations nave

conditions existing with soldiers IN
their home country, what must be the
fate of the boys sent to Europe to
meet the dangerous and treacherous
conditions of warfare" replied Sena-
tor Chamberlain.
Senator Chamberlain read a letter
showing that camp authorities falied
to notify a family of the death of
soldier and that the body came nome

After speaking nearly three hours
Senator Chamberlain concluded with
a plea that he was only doing his

crat, took up a reply.
