LIBERTY LOAN SALES GO OVER
THE TOP IN LINTON
WITH A RING

Chairman Cameron's unique plan of
raising Linton's quota in the third
Liberty Loan sale worked out to the
satisfaction of every one and he is
to be complimented for putting on a
plan that certainly put Linton on the
map. The band boys were out and
played several pieces which added en-
thusiasm to the sale and practically
everyone was on the job to take their
allotment or more. A tent was placed
in the center Of Broadway and Mr..
Cameron and Mr.. Junge were kept
busy taking care of the signers, and
the quota for Linton was raised in
less than fifteen minutes.
The committee of women and the
Boy Scouts are deserving of special
praise as they both did exceptionally
good work.

WHAT is OUR AVAILABLE FOOD
SUPPLY IN NORTH
DAKOTA?

An immediate survey of the state
to determine the amount of flour and
flour substitutes on hand seems nec-
essary at this time, that we may know
just how much flour and flour sub
stitutes are available for the needs
of our people until the next harvest.
A meeting of the Federal Food Ad-
ministrators for six states in this
zone was held on Tuesday at Mime
apolis, and the U. S. Food Admins
tration strongly urged that such a
survey be made in each state at once.
In a single county in another state
where a -four survey has been car
ried on it was found that twenty car
loads of -four were available to be put
into the channels of trade where it
would serve the most useful purpose
It is essential to know Just what food
we have that we may meet the con-
ditions we are now facing.
The American people are asked to
limit themselves to one and one-half
pounds of flour per week and to use
substitutes for the balance until our
next crop is harvested. Will they
do that? / am certain they will most
gladly comply with the request. How
much flour have we in North Dakota
to supply the needs of our people ?
It is hoped, therefore, that every in
dividual will furnish correct informa-
ton as called for in this food survey
in order that we may have complete
record for the entire state. We shall
also ask for complete survey of all
the flour and wheat in the hands OF
the millers, in the hands of the merch-
annts, and of all food grains avail.

one to cooperate so that we may have

Look For Your
Name Below
THE FOLLOWING Is A LIST OF
THOSE IN LINTON WHO
BOUGHT BONDS.

The Record takes great pleasure in
publishing the names of those who
made it point to be out bright and
early Monday morning to help put
Linton over the top. There are few
who could not be present Monday
morning, but will undoubtedly see that
they get their bonds before the week
is out and we will publish their names
next week.
We want to take this opportunity
TO tell the people that we will also
publish the names Of those, if any.
who have been made an allotment and
fail to take same. In other words,
those who have blue card made out
on them. It is more to the interest
OF the people that those names be pub
lished than those that bought bonds.
for it we have any traitors in this
community the loyal people should
know who they are that they might
be on their guard and treat them as
traitors for that is what they are
when they refuse to buy bonds when
most anyone can afford to buy them
as tha payments are so arranged that
they can't do otherwise than buy. We
sincerely hope that there are no such
people in the county.
The following is the names with
