RICE MAY BE CHEAPER.
(By Associated Press.)

IDN No9WUIUNNW WUaaT
Washington, Feb. 16.-ReduCtiOn in
the price Of rice is In prospect for
April !, the food administration an
nounced today. Distribution figures
show that there is a surplus, after
deducting the million bags purchas-
ed for export to Europe, Of 10000
600 pounds. This surplus is ample
for domestic requirements. The in
crease in the cost of rice during the
last few months, the administration
explains, has been due to the fact
that most rice mills were working
to capacity in supplying the allies,
thereby depicting the normal sup
ply for home use.

STUDENTS MAKE
fine SHOWING

Friday afternoon closed a most en-
thusiastiC contest in the campaign to
sell war saving stamps in the Fargo
high school. The classes completed
with one another in selling stamps
during the week.
Publicity meetings were held on
Monday morning when a representa-
tive from each class explained the
purpose, value, and method Of pur-
chasing thrift bonds. Attorney A. w.
Cupler spoke on Wednesday morning,
telling of the governments need for
money and Of the personal value to
the purchaser of thrift stamps. A
committee from each class presented
from day to day very clever stunts,
which emphasized the point that in
purchasing stamps the students were
loyal not only to their country, but
to their class. Striking posters,
linericks, songs, and proverbs, all the
work of students, were displayed in
conspicuous places in the building. A
patriot committee" composed Of
eight from each class urged all those
not wearing tags to buy, for a tag
indicates a purchaser.
The spirit Of thrift has swept the
school as large numbers purchased
stamps who had never before had
savings Of any kind. Both teachers
and students co-operated to make
this an unprecedented week in the
history Of Fargo high school.
Large crowds Of eager students
have daily watched the bulletins
which announced the report of each
days sales. On Friday the enthus-
iasm waxed high when it was learn
ed that one member of the freshman
class had bought that day $27 worth
