necessity OF faithful work Will be
Eeen.
1.-The chapters must realize as the
work goes on that they are a part Of
the machinery of the government
and that the work must be not what
they desire to do but what Is re-
qlltred by the government, indicated
to us by the national headquarters.
We are a huge manufacturing con-
Germ and we must work on order. It
fs OF course wasteful to produce
things that are not essential and it
is a violation Of our trust If we re-
fuse to do the things that are re-
quired Of us."

MOOYhead Makes
Plans To Secure
ArmOry

Moorhead has made application for
designation as one of the cities where
a company Of the state guard will be
located and has made the pledges
necessary to secure the state aid for
the construction Of an armory. This
action was definitely determined at
a meeting Tuesday evening at the
Comstock hotel, attended by members
of the Commercial club and Retail
Merchants association and officers
and members Of the Moorhead Home
Guard. All Of the necessary arrange
ments were left with the Armory
committee that will meet this after
noon to appoint a sub committee on
enlistment. One change was made in
the personnel of this committee, Vice
President H. J. Harris, Of the Com
mercial club being substituted for
Maj. A. M Hopeman, president Of the
club, who asked to be relieved on &C
count of his connection with the
home guard. The other members of
the committee are: Chas. S. Mar
den, chairman; Mayor N N. MelvCy,
Lester Welter, and A. ]. Wright.
The plan for the organization Of
the company include the merging OF
the home guard and recruiting the
organization to 103 men, the member
ship required under the state regula-
ton. Necessary steps will be taken
to complete title to the proposed
armony site, including the vacation
of Ninth street north from Front
street to First avenue north. Pledges
will be secured for the $1,000, in ad-
dition to the site and these will be
forwarded to Gov. J, A. A. Burnquist,
together with the resolutions adopt
ed at the meeting last night.

MUST
OBSERVE SUGAR
REGULATIONS

There are a few persons who in
stst upon attempting to avoid the
sugar regulations of the federal food
administration and the county food
administration is making check
UP to locate the slackers. All sorts
of subterfuges have been resorted to
by those who seek to secure more
sugar than they are entitled to under
the regulations.
County Food Administration, Ed
gar E. Sharp issued the Following
warning today to those who make
false statements in connection with
their applications TO purchase sugar:
Warning Notice.
Persons who make false state
ments in their applications for can
ming sugar or in connection with
their purchases of sugar for house
hold use are subject to punishment
under the Food Control act, in ad-
dition to having their applications
for sugar refused and publicity Civ
en- to the matter.
'The sugar application pledge
must be read carefully before being
signed. These applications are
checked in the office Of the county
records as to the amount of sugar
sold to each person for canning up
to this time. He also has the rec
ords Of the number in family as
shown upon the flour cards filed, and
those who have not filed flour cards
in accordance with the former orr
der are not entitled to any sugar
for canning.
For household use sugar is limit
ed to two pounds for each person in
the family. This applies both in
town and in the country. Persons
buying sugar from different deal
ers and getting more than their
regular allowance will be considered
slackers and hoarders and dealt
with accordingly under the Food
Control act.
Sugar includes all kinds Of beet
and cane sugar, including granulat-
ed, powdered. lump. brown sugar and
other kinds. It does not include
maple sugar. corn syrup or corn
sugar or grape sugar.
Most people are patriotic and are
helping win the war by observing
all the food regulations carefully,
and We must all continue the work
until the war is won and conditions
again become normal.

TO Be POPULAR

Shocking is proving to be the
most popular recreation in Fargo this
week, and many shock troops" are
being formed in the city with the
purpose of participating in vigorous

at the same time.
The Forum troop cleaned up so
acres of wheat on the CHESHIRE
Smith farm Tuesday afternoon. They
will make an attack on the J. P.
Finch farm, north of Dilworth, this
and Thursday afternoons, and Friday
and Saturday afternoons they will
invade the w. P. Porterfield farm
southwest of Fargo. In three days
the IL members Of the troop have
totaled ISL working hours of shock
ing. They set so fast a pace that
Thomas Turner, well known insur-
ance man, who had enlisted in the
troop after reading the glowing &C
counts Of the troops in action, failed
to answer roll call after one after
Moons experience in keeping up.
The troop from Blacks store is
now taking in recruits from the out
side, and so to so people are going
out to shock wheat on the Bennett
farm, three miles west Of Fargo, this

from 3 to 4 per cent of disease; and
the plants are stunted and of poor
color. This shows the Importance OF
both seed selection and treatment be
fore planting.
To produce certified seed stock. the
plots must be kept free from diseased
plants and selected seed must be used.
When a diseased plant is found it is
dug out and burned and the tubers
are destroyed. Seed potatoes grown
in plots under these conditions are
certified by representatives Of the
United States agricultural depart
ment and bring a premium when sold
to southern growers. The federal
government is making an effort to
stamp out potato diseases and inspec-
ton before shipment is being made in
many localities where seed stock Is
grown. The shipment of diseased po-
tatoes may be prohibited by order Of
the government to prevent carrying
diseases to localities where they 90
not now exist.
