CHAIRMAN ROGERS PREDICTS THE
FULL BOND QUOTA WILL Be SOLD
Reports Over the County Show that the Third Liberty
Bonds Being Sold Ra pdly-Buying of Bonds
is Blow Against the Kaiser .e.-~1

make a complete job of it before the
closing day.
eve are all confidently expecting
rs per cent Of the entire population
of this district to buy Loberty Bonds
between April 18th and 9th. Four
teen per cent of our people bought
bonds in the Second Liberty Loan
drive and we led the United States in
distribution. This time other dis
tricts are seeking to win this honor.
The loyalty and the enthusiasm Of
the people in these six Northwestern
states is enough, we believe, to keep
US in first place. Every worker and
every patriotic citizen should take
special interest, not only in buying
all the bonds possible, but in seeing
to it that every possible buyer of
bonds is given the opportunity, and
if necessary, persuaded to buy them.
In this way alone, can we retain our
place as the district having the larg-
est percentage of real, patriotic Amer
leans, stockholders in the worlds
greatest contributions.
One thing at least has been demon
strated by the Third Liberty Loan
campaign-that there is better,
purer spirit of loyalty throughout the
Ninth district than has been evidenc-
ed at any time since the entrance of
the United States into the world war.
This is not the opinion of any one in
dividual, nor is it the opinion of per-
sons who have visited any one section
of the Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict, but the judgment. of every
worker who has been out in the leld.

"E. F. Ladd,
"Federal Food Administrator, )"
@ Survey Will Reveal Stores
The food survey now being arrang-
ed in North Dakota by the federal
food administration, and which will
be conducted during the next two
weeks, will yield accurate informa-
ton with respect to the present hold
ings of food.
Farmers, in the food survey, will
be given cards which they must fill,
showing just what grain they have
on hand.
The requisitioning Of the wheat in
the hands of the farmers has been
considered for some time, and is the
direct result, it is believed, of al
legged boarding by some. producers,
who have hoped that the government
would increase the wheat price as
contemplated in bills now before con-
gress.

"From definite reports, we are very
sure that every county that has been
carefully organized along the lines
laid down by our general committee
will sell its quota of bonds easily,
simply and quickly.
"In order to try out our new plan
of intensive county organization, a
few we'll organized counties have an
ticipated the official opening of the
campaign. In each instance the quota
has been subscribed without any trou-
BILE. Twenty-four and forty-eight
hours only have been required to COM
plete the work in counties that bare
ly sold their allotted number of bonds
in two weeks of the last drive.
"These experiments have so
strengthened our already firm faith
in the individual allotment plan of
organization that l cannot too en-
phatically insist upon it's being used
in every town, village and township
of the Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict.

MORE men CALLED
FOR FIRST Of MAY
MAY CALL is FOR 48,943 MEN
INCLUDES 581 FROM NORTH
DAKOTA

Washington, April Is. - Another
draft call for 48,843 registrants, has
been sent to governors of states by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
Mobilization of the men is ordered
for May 1 and 10, the war depart
ment announced Sunday night, and
they will be sent to IL forts and re-
cruiting barracks, probably for train
ing with regular army units there.
This call increases to more than
100000 the number of select men or
dered to camp since late in March,
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mo-
bilized under the original plan to call
100000 men this year over nine
months period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before midsummer.
Under President Wilson's determi-
nation to hasten the dispatch of
American troops to France to rein
force the British and French armies
bearing the brunt of the great Ger
man drive, the whole program of the
army is speeding sup. Only week
ago General Crowder ordered mobil-
ization of 10000 select men for April
26 and their movement to the ma
tional army cantonments during the
five days following.
Further announcements are expect
ed to follow the return of Secretary
Baker from his visit to the battle
fronts and conference with officials.
of Great Britain, France and Italy
Troops now are moving to Europe at
a rapid rate and this clearing of
camps will permit the call
ing of men much faster than was con-
before the German often
sive made it imperative to rush men
to the battlefronts.
Half From Seven States
Although every state and the Dis
trict of Columbia are called upon to
furnish men under General Crowder's
latest order, nearly half of the 49,84$
men will come from seven states. I'LL
nois will supply by far the largest
number, it's quota being 8,047.P enn-
,ylvania is next with 3,776, New
York third with 3,542, Michigan 4th
With 1888, Missouri fifth with 2,163,
sixth with 2,135 and Ohio
seventh with 1850. Nevada has the
he lowest quota, 40, and Delaware
he next lowest with 81. Wyoming,
With 80, is the only other state to
urnish less than 100 men.

of 100000 lives saved during Chill
dren's Year.
The record card which the Chill
dren's Bureau has prepared for this
test gives table of average heights
and weights for boys and girls at
birth, at every month of age from
the 9Th to the 48th and at every year
from the 5th to the 10th. One-half
of the card will be retained by the
parents. 1t includes the table Of
heights and weights and has blanks
for subsequent records so that parents
can watch the child's growth: for
while single examination is valuable
"a series of examinations is far more
valuable.
The other half of the card provides
also for the recording Of the height
and weight of the child at the time of
the national test 1t will be used by
the local committee in analyzing the
facts about it's own community and
then it will be forwarded to the Chll-
dren's Bureau at Washington.
Parents having children of this
are are urged as patriotic duty to
enter their children in the national
test and communicate with the local
chairman of the child-welfare COM
mittee of their State Council of Ma
tional Defense, or if no such chair
man has yet been appointed, with the
county or state child-welfare chair
man Of the council. Local Chairman
who have not received instructions
about the test or the detailed pro-
prom of which the test is the first
feature should communicate at once
with the child-welfare chairman of
their Council Of Defense.
The names of county and local
chairmen will be published as soon
as all are appointed.

 m regard to the life of the gas "ei's ln the present fields. the off claiS at tao gas companies would say hothlr2 definite. and stated that no hNln% man could estimate with any trntlfu]ness the life of any gas well. The various sand depths must be taken into consideration and we'll that promises to prove 2 fine one and to have a strong flow of gas for many years may be exhausted within few months tine The pressure which exists at the opening Of the well Is the source of estimation, but cannot be relied upon to any great eN- tent. The ROssier field we'll. are said to have g combined capacity of 375 0oo.e00 feet daily and show all indica- tlons Of having an almost unlimited supply, still officials and gas authori- ties can give no definite idea as to the life of these wells, although they state they are of the opinion that the supply in the Shreveport vicinity will last for many years. Other aulhori- ties, however. do not look at the mat ter in the most optimistic manner, and state that the owners of the wells will be fortunate if they last for 1a years: The various gas companies develop new fields as the supply i8 needed, and the BCssier field at the present time is attracting much at tention. It is the next vicinity to be entered by the pipe lines, and 30 square miles of this field has been developed. These wells will afford ;hc only relief Arkansas cities vii! be able to secure, and the connecting of the pipe lines with the Bossier wells is the action upon which the time for tliis relief is based.

II: C. Couch, federal fuel 4d- mlnlstrator for Arkansas Saturday morning, made sey- eral suggestions for domestic and industrial gas users in Pine Bluff. They follow:
 Use gas in as few livinc rooms as possible.
 Be careful to use but one en- trance to home.
 Use of two OF moro entrap- ces causes drau9hts and makes for greater use of gas.
 Elan meals so that as little cookla9 as possible is done,
 Resu!ate stoves and heaters as low as possible.
 "Iry to keep rooms where heating is necessary at even temperature. E5i1ty-five de Srees is warm enough Shut off gas when temperature is greater" " Mr. Couch appealed to man agels of public buildinss to use as little gas as possible Sunday for heating purposes Just enough to keep from freezlns.' This will make for a greater supply for homes.

THE EFFECT IN GERMANY.
tBy Associated Press.)

Amsterdam. Aug. i5.-While Tues
days Berlin newspapers regard the
Anglo-French main thrust as parried
and at all events stopped by the ex-
haustion Of the attacking troops. the
journals in the Rhine country discuss
the situation in a much graver tone.
"Foeh and Haig probably will con-
tinue attacking on the Sommc. but
they will never achieve more than
pyrrhic victories. which win assist
in the attrition Of their own forces"
says Baron Won der 0stcn. the mil
itsry critic Of the Rhenische West
falisehe Zeitung Essen.
Elsewhere the newspapers deem Il
necessary editorially to brace up the
nerves Of the people Of the Rhenish
provinces, which seem to be badly
shaken. The Cologne volks Zeitung
appears to interpret popular appre-
tensions when il speaks Of "anothcr
impending ruthless Anglo-Frene at
tempt to break through the German
northwestern front" and says that
Germany follows the terrible strug-
gle with bated breath. In the next
column ii inveights against defeatisni.
which is rearing its head In Cologne,
Dusseldorf and elsewhere. even In
Essen. where the people. may be
heard grumbling; Another defeat
for us-we shall lose the war. We
have nothing to eat. no clothes. no
shoes; we shall starve and be utter
ly ruined
As cure for this state Of mind
the Volks Zeitung administers an
antidote in the shape Of a raging
article about the enemy wanting to
murder, rob and cnslave German
men. women and children"
The Wesser Zeitung Of Bremen,
with ill-eoncealed pessimism. regret
fully admits in Tuesdays issue that
the onee-derided American army is
giving much more trouble than was
anticipated while the Frankfort Ga
zette pathetically pleads with the Of
fetal press bureau to tell the whole
truth "ss far as possible"
