HAGAN CALLS FOR
IDLE ACRE LISTS

Bismarck, N. D., May 27.-The en-
listment of every idle acre of North
Dakota land in the army of produc-
ton is urged by John n. Hagan
commissioner Of agriculture Of North
Dakota in an appeal he has ad
dressed to the farmers of the state
asking them to Immediately notify
him Of any untitled land in their
immediate locality, and advising
whether or not they can operate the
same.
Commissioner Hagan has addressed
this appeal under authority Of the
state council Of defense, which has
adopted q rule whereby land held idle
may be cultivated by any farmer who
is in position to handle 1t, the only re-
quirement being that he give the
owner Of the land one tenth Of the
crop If the land is virgin, and one
fourth Of the crop il the soil has been
previously cropped.
In his appeal, Commissioner -HaRan
advises that he be notified by tele-
graph Immediately Of land not Guilt
waited that can be cultivated, with the
owners name and address, as we'll

that will cultivate the same.

Owner Gets Ono-fourth.
The ruling also provides that If new
land is broken and seeded to flax this
year, the person who farms it will be
entitled to SOW it again next year for
war crop purposes, and is to give one
fourth Of the crop to the owner. This
Is to allow the sowing Of wheat. a

Interpretation was followed, care be-
ing taken not to give any portion

whole. A full, sweet, singing tone was
disclosed in this number.
On the other hand Ries' Perpetual
Motion, a selection requiring a
great deal of technique was given an
equally good rendition. A well bal

information characterized this num-

Chicago, May Infringing declara-
tions in favor Of the German Kaiser
as q ruler in America as compared
with the present administration were
made at the meeting place Of the l.
w. w. in Milwaukee, after the final
break with Germany, according to
testimony Saturday at a trial for
seditiOus conspiracy Of IL |. w. w.
leaders.
Joseph Burdall, who said he was
forced to join the I. w. w. to safe
guard his life testified as a govern
ment witness that G. J. BOurg, a
defendant, and other Germans, who
gathered at the Milwaukee hall, de-
clared l. w. w. knew their signs, "
: that II they were drafted into the
army they would shoot, but they
would choose their marks carefully.
Our bullets will not strike down
the Germans. but will pierce the
necks Of the American officers, -
Burdall testified Bourg shouted in
an impa2atOned acE-war speech in
which he urged overthrow Of the
American government.
we can put the American army
on the bum as quickly and effective
ly as we can wreck a construction
~
that the members of the organization
should begin by burning grain
fields, destroying food production
plants and wrecking munition manu-
factories"
IF the Germans strike in tho
east, we should be ready to strike in
the west, and bring about complete
overthrow Of the government"
BOurg was quoted as saying He said
that Germans and rebel leaders knew
that the great number Of Germans in
America were ready and willing to
fight the American war program.
BurdaII testified that Bourg, whose
exploits as an organizer in the har-
vest fields last year resulted in his
being branded with the letters 81 w
w" on his body by a mob. was the
most ardent Of the Milwaukee speak
ers in his pronuoncemen
I'VE will be doing a good thing for
civilization If we follow out the pol
icy of fighting the masters who are
calling our men to arms" Bourg was
quoted as saying.
Burdall, a leading witness Of the
government, told of years Of battle
with the l. w. w. in the big grain
and lumber districts and said that
last year he joined the organization
in Milwaukee while working for a
construction company where I. w.

LIBRARY TO
help FARGO
CLUB WOMEN

Library hours will be changed on
June Sd to the summer schedule.
The library will be open from 900
a. m. to 800 p. m. daily. every day
but Sunday. when the reading room
will be open from 200 to 6: 90 p. m.
The children's room will be open
every. day, including Saturdays,
from 800 to 500 p. m.
The library will be closed all day
next Thursday. Memorial day.
There are several very active
woman's clubs in Fargo and Moor
head, who depend largely on the
terial for their papers and addresses.
At this time we would like to urge
the secretaries of these clubs to send
us the programs for the coming
year. 1t Is easier for US to search
out the resources of the library dur
ing the summer months. when the
desk work does not demand so much
time. During the summer, also, we
can buy, when possible. those books
which will be Of service to these
clubs. and have them ready for use
when the season opens. IT'S a sad
moment for both librarian and club
woman when material for an ex-
haustive paper is asked for after
- w ~ Az I'll 4AAE5 Jul D06J GCGASSAAB
and this pain can be avoided If we
are given an opportunity to list ref
erences in advance.
We are again indebted to Aaker's
business college for some mimeo-
graphed recipes for the food admin
istratiOn. These recipes are sent to
every library in the state for dis
tribution, and copies of them will be
found on our charging desk.
The bulletin board and ledge is
loaded down with another fine ship
ment of recipes. This is by far the
most practical of any yet received,
corn flour, rolled oats. barley and
potatoes in many delicious forms.
These are free to everyone. Have
you got yours?
Mr.. Schwab says that the real
aristocrat after the war will be the
person who can work. The police
department, aided and abetted by
every other department of the city,
aims to make Fargo a real aristoc-
racy now, and in it's efforts to do so
has not overlooked the public libra
ry, that popular resort of the phys
ically wearied in every town. To be
sure there are some faults to be
found with our library. The chairs
are rather hard. One devotee COM
planned of them with bitterness to
the attendant He said we Should
have some easy chairs" Well, may
be we will have some after the war,
when everyone, through labor and
toll, will have earned the right to
rest in them; when he that eats
shall have earned his bread, and the
lily fingered loafer will be found only
in museums, along with the dodo,
and other speciments Of the things
that Were.'

while rain was reported at some
point or other in the state every day
during the week.
The summary Of precipitation for
the seven day period discloses' nine
points with a rainfall Of over an
inch, while three points had a rain
fall of over two inches.
The heaviest rains centered in the
district east Of Bismarck to the Red
river valley, and from Grafton,
Walsh county, to the southern boun-
dairy Of the state, the extreme north
eastern point of the state not being
favored with very much moisture,
although this condition seems con-
fined largely to Pembina coun-
ty, aus Cavalier county, to the west
of it, and Walsh, to the south, seem
to have had plentiful rains.
Points west Of the Missouri river
reporting rainfall indicate that the
extreme southwestern counties didn't
have nearly the precipitation other
sections had, for Dickinson is credit
ed with but .21 inch rainfall, and
New England with As inch rainfall.

Accuse Packers
OF Selling Bad
Meat TO Army
fRv A.aocrated Presa.1

Washington, May 27.-SaIe Of
spoiled meat and other food products
to the army, with the knowledge that
the food was unfit for human COM
sumption" is charged in complaints
issued today by the federal trade
commission against Morris &c Co,
and Wilson & Co. two Of the five
great packing corporations.
1t is alleged that thousands OF
pounds of unfit meat and chickens
were sold to Camp Travis, Texas.
Most OF it was detected and con-
demned, but 1t is said, GONE of bE
may have been passed and consum-
ed.
Details Of the information upon
which the action is based were with
held by the commission. The an
nouncement and correspondence
given out with 1t, however, show
that the alleged offenses occurred
last December and are the same up
on witch indictments were obtained
in Texas by the department Of JUS
tice after an investigation of reports
by the food administration. The in
dictments were dropped because
they were returned under section
four Of the food law, which carries
no penalty.
