SUNDAY, DEC. FIRST, 10 BE
CONSERVATION SUNDAY

United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover has called upon the
American people to set aside Decem- 4
Der 1,as Conservation Sunday" Dur
ing that week there viii be distribute
ed to each home in the United States
a new home card. indicating the 1915
1919 program for food conservation.
In order that the important features
Of this vital program be presented,
Mr.. Hoover has prepared a message to
be read in all churches on DeeemberI
1 and Federal Food Administrator
Bicknell will request all denomina-
tions in Idaho to observe the day
with a conservation service following
the reading of the message.
When the interallied food council
was held last summer and the needs
Of the allies we're computed IL was
found that America must this coming
year send for our armed forces and
the allies half as much again OF food
supplies as last year. Instead OF
eleven and three-quarters million
tons the shipments this year will be-
seventeen and one-half million tons.
I'VE are pledged to send SO per
cent more food and from substantially
the same supplies as last year so the
necessity exists to increase our con-
servation to accomplish the result, ;"
says Administrator Bicknell.
"The inter-allied council was told
by Mr.. Hoover that whatever the war
food program of the allies required
would be met by the United States.
This is therefore an obligation meas
ured in the terms of human life that
rests on every America
Last year the food administration
was meeting one emergency after an
other az 1t arose, but this year 1t will
be long steady pull directed to the
whole food situation and not so much
to particular commodities. The war
conscience is active everywhere and
the food administration confidently
expects the spirit to carry this effort
through to another triumph with Ida
no in the forefront. Germany's peace
efforts and the military situation must
not cause any relaxation in conserva-
ton for Mr.. Hoover states that con-
servation becomes particularly i'm
portant because evacuation of occupi-
ed territory imposes upon US respons-
Utility for additional civilian popula-
tons"
Mr.. Hoover's message for Conser-
walton Sunday will be distributed "a
the clergy through the county admin
istrators Of the Idaho section of the

STATE WILL Sell
USELESS TIMBER TO
Relieve FUEL FAMINE

The following letter regarding the
sale of state dead and down timber
has been received by the Pioneer and
will no doubt be of much interest and
value to the people of this part Of
Minnesota:
At q recent meeting Of the state
safety commission a resolution was
passed authorizing State Auditor
J. A., O. Preus to sell at private sale
dead and down timber and green
hardwood located upon state lands.
The resolution was passed as u
fuel emergency measure as the COM
mission is somewhat alarmed over
the fuel shortage and by proper use
of wood for fuel In the timber dis
tricts this situation may be relieved
to a great extent. The amount of
fuel wood is limited to from one cord
to one hundred cords to any one per-
son at 25 cents per cord.
Application must be made to the
Timber Department of the State Aud
tors office for the timber, stating the
amount Of fuel wood desired and the
legal description of the land upon
which the timber Is located. A form
contract will then be I issued and
sales made in the order they are re-
ceived at this office. Payment shall
be made upon scale after timber Is
cut, and paid for before removed
from the land.

SIX HUSKY YOUNGSTERS !
COME FROM HALL0Ck
TO JOIN THE MILITARY

Just about the best bunch of pep
seen in Bemidji for long, long time
was when six young men stepped
from a train this morning and after
breakfast trooped to the recruiting
office to interview Recruiting Officer
Clarence Foucault.
The delegation was from Hallock,
about 20 miles from the Canadian
border in Northwestern Minnesota.
Every mothers son passed the ex-
animation with colors flying and
they were happy as could be. Five
of them enlisted in the coast artil-
lery, Frank Inglis, Edward Ander-
son, Melvin Anderson, Selmer An
derson and Harold Rustad.
Victor Wass enlisted in the avia-
ton section.
" The new recruits for Uncle Sam
were all splendid specimens OF
young manhood and they all paid a
visit to the office Of the Pioneer to
say, hello. They were all good
scouts and as effervescent as bottle
of pop. They were proud over the
fact that not one of them failed to
pass and they were at the depot
bound for Duluth long before train
time this noon. From Duluth they
will 20 to Jefferson barracks. :, i
There's going to be a couple more
come down next week, calculated
one of the enthusiastic group.
