prove as much as circumstances will
permit the difficult food situation will
be announced soon. The mobilization

country will be ordered and the new
army sent to work wherever there e1-
lists . scarcity of farm labor.
According to the experts Of the MIN
istry OF agriculture. the radical meas
ure, for which there is no precedent,
was rendered imperative by the neces-
sity of supplying the large landowners
and the organizations which have en-
gagged in agricultural enterprises on q
large scale with all the labor they need
for sowing and taking in the crop. The
scarcity Of labor also has made impera-
tive the coordination of work In farm
ing operations.
Take Census Of Farm Labor.
The mobilization will take place un-
der the direction of Agricultural Min
lister Rainert, who will be assisted by a
few of the officers Of the italian gen.
eral staff. The mayor of each town
will be ordered to take the census Of
all the farm labor Of both sexes in his
district and state the approximate time
needed for local farming work. The
next step will be the compulsory en-
listment Of every man in a new army

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Judge Earl w. Senff has desig
mated Messrs. Robt. H. VIM, Chas.
E. Duff and A. L. Upton as Tax
Supervisors for the ensuing year.
Under the new law, the number is
reduced to three and one member
has been chosen from each Com
missioner'S district of the county,
as divided under the new commits
sion form of government.
The new tax law Us quite compG-
Gated and it was deemed necessary
to appoint competent lawyer as
a member Of the Board and in
compliance with his pre- election
promises to the people that there
would be no politics in his official
course of action, Judge Senff has
named Judge Robt. II. Winn, a lead
ing Republican, as Chairman of the
Board. The three gentlemen nam
ed are all prominent business men
of wide experience, known integrity
and proven capacity and will make
in our Judgment the best Board of
Supervisors Montgomery county
ever had. 1t will be the duty of
the Board to equalize, by increase
or decrease, all property in the
county, so that all will be placed
uponAa basis of equality and in ac-
eordance with the relative values
of property. A better Board, as
we see it, could not be chosen in
the county, and the selection of
these men guarantees square deal
for all. Under the law the Board
will convene for business on the
second Monday in March.

NAVY HAS NEW AND
POWERFUL SUB FIGHTERS

New submarine fighters of a pow
erful type are about to be turned
out in the United States in large
numbers. After testifying before
the House Naval Committee on the
Naval Appropriation Bill Secretary
Daniels authorized the statement
that contracts for Several scores"
Of the new craft have been placed
with the Ford Motor Company, Of
Detroit. He described them as ''half
way between a destroyer and sub
marine chaser" 200 feet long and
equipped with latest discoveries for
combating submarines.
All parts of the ships except the
engines are to be fabricated in De-
troit and the parts shipped to sea-
board, where they will be assem-
bled. Changes in the Ford plant to
permit the handling Of the work
have progressed so swiftly, Mr..
Daniels said, that deliveries on the
contracts during the coming sum-
mer are assured.
The new vessels are expected to
prove far superior to the chasers
now in use, including those Of the
ITO class. They will have steam
power with greater radius of ac-
ton, will be more seaworthy and
will be able to carry heavier arma-
ment. 1t has developed that the
latest German submarines are
equipped with guns that outrange
those of small chasers and even
some merchant ships.

HAVE MARROW ESCAPE

Mrs. Mary Wood Rice and Miss
Olive Wood, who with their moth
er, Mrs. John C. Wood, and sister,
Miss Kathryn Wood, have been iv-
ing in the West for the past year,
were the victims of an automobile
accident in Los Angeles, Cal, a few
weeks ago in which they had a mar
row escape from death. They were
returning from one of the beaches
with Mr.. and Mrs. William j. STRAIT
ton in the latters' car. A low hang
ing fog had made the asphalt high
way very slippery and in turning to
avoid another car the Stratton ma
chine skidded and struck freplug.
All the occupants were thrown vio-
lently to the paving when the auto
turned over. Mrs. Rice and Miss
Wood suffered terrible bruises and
cuts and have since been confined
to their beds, while Mrs. Stratton
was so badly injured it was neces-
sary to take her to a hospital.
None of the victims Of the accident
are seriously injured and advices
to relatives here indicate that they
will soon be entirely recovered.

CITY DRIVE IS
DISAPPOINTING
ON THIRD DAY
Only $4,000 Has Been Sub
scribed Out of Allotted
Total.

The War Savings stamp drive n
this city is not progressing nearly as
well as it was expected to, according
to those in charge of the campaign,
who frankly expressed their disap-
pointment today. It seems that peo-
pie generally do not realize that the
campaign is a war issue just as vital
as are the Liberty Loans and the Red
Cross, and If the city does not make
better response-in fact, a much bet
ter response-Grand Forks will not be.
in a position to 'go over the top"
One member Of the committee asked
afford to have it told all over the
possible stand back of the boys at the
front ;"
The total quota for Grand Forks is
$26O,OO0. and at this time only $780,
900 has been subscribed. Most Of the
subscriptions have been taken by
people of moderate means. Subscrip-
lions from other sources have been
disappointing to date, and men of
wealth are urged to take a much more
active part in the drive than they
have done SO far.
The total. amount for the nation is
two billion dollars, and it is felt that
this can easily be attained. If every
individual in every comimunity-no
matter how small it may be-will

city Of Grand Forks has been called
upon to subscribe. Mr. lMacLean
urges that every person visit the
headquarters today who can possibly

hesitate to call because his Means are
limited and he does not feel that the
amount he is able to give will be OF
any great value. Every pledge, even

Although no returns have been
complied, it appears from all in.
dicauons available that the
propositions to the effect that the
county purchase certain Land
near the court house and in the
netghborhOod OF the poor farm Mt
Arvilln have been decisiveiy re-
jected by the voters.
Returns received UP to . late hour
this afternoon indicate that the fight
for the nomination Of q candidate for
sheriff Of Grand Forks county is be-
coming hotter with every additional
precinct reporting. While &C. C.. Stew.
art led B. o. Serbo by 1874 this norm
ing. his lead some hours later had de-
creased by AZ. In other words, Stew
art had 1.647 votes and sorbo 1855.
These returns have come from 81 out
of a total Of 81 precincts, and it was
thought today that while the figures
naturally will increase, the proportion
may remain about the same as. now.
The figures for John Steen and
Governor Frazier remain unchanged
as far as this county is concerned:
~ precincts give Steen 1896 and
Frazier .1,165 votes. and it is. not ex-
pected that further returns will ma
Eterially affect the Steen majority Of
about 800.

For county judge l.. X. Hassell still

may consider himself renominated in
view Of the overwhelming majority
which these counties have given him

Although there are no detailed re-
turns on the senatorial fight, it looks
very much as though w. S. Whitman
has defeated Treacy for senator from
the seventh district.
One feature of yesterdays primary
election which attracted much atten-
ton was the defeat Of o. K. Lageson
by O.. B. Burtness for representative
from the sixth district. Burtness' to-
tai in 10 precincts was given as 72S
