have become a thing of the past. The
flour ban was recently lifted some
what and as a result white bread is
again more evident in many homes.
1t must be impressed among the
housewives, however, according to
that it should not be forgotten that
America is at war. Wheat is - prod
uct which will serve az ammunition
during the entire war. Without
wheat fighting goes on without the
very strongest ammunition.

necessitating a combination sale of

ATTIC HUNT
WILL Be ON
t .,- - -
Grand Forks People Will be
Asked to Send old Clothes
to Belgians.

According to announcements made
this afternoon, the people of Grand
Forks will soon be hunting through
their attics to select the best Of their
"old clothes hat have been tenn
porarily-or perhaps permanently
discarded, and the aim of the unique
drive is to send these garments to the
destitute population of Belgium,
Committees have been organized in
Forks and while no definite plans
have been formulated, it is known
that the strategies of the campaign
will be fully outlined within a few
days.
Belgian women and children need
good warm clothing, so it will not dc
to send them anything that is so dill
apidated that it cannot be used. The
fact that repairs may be needed
should discourage no one from con-
tributing, but it should always be kept
in mind that the aid wanted must be
valuable.
Americans who have recently Wis
tied Belgium all agree that at the
present time the greatest need of the
population is that of clothing. Food
may be scarce, but it is easier to
Withstand the siege of hunger when
you are comfortably clothed than if
you are without protection against the
hardships of the climate.
The Belgian winter is the so called
continental winter not much diff
ferent from the North Dakota species,
and thus it will be easily realized of
what nature the demands are. .
Headquarters for the collection of
his clothing will be established in
the store formerly occupied by the
'Vanderhoef book store in the Kelsey
building On DeMers avenue. All cloth
ing must be taken to headquarters as
there will be no means by which the
committee can collect this material.

TOYS WILL BE
AS PLENTIFUL
HERE AS EVER
Merchants are Preparing for
1918 Christmas Rush
Trade.

Local merchants have placed their
orders for Christmas goods in the
large production centers some time
ago., and some of them said today
that, in spite of the war and the re-
slrictions on expenditures, prospects
indicate a rushing Christmas trade.
One prominent retail dealer. in dis
cussing his subject, said:
"As far as toys for children are con-
cerned, l don't think there will be any
falling off. There shouldn't be any.
either. The children need the toys. no
matter if the whole world is aflame,
and l look for a giving of toys as gen.
erous and general as ever before.
Concerning other lines of mer-
on III part Of a good many people to
dispense with gifts; by this I mean,
with so-called gifts of luxury. Gifts
will undoubtedly be exchanged as be-
fore, but it is natural. to surmise that
they will assume a more practical
form. and that the tendency will be
to buy useful and essential articles.
sequence of the conditions which the
war has imposed upon US, and I do
not feel l can say it is wrong. That
gifts should be abolished as many
people have advocated, is, of course
a matter of taste. There are, on the
other hand, just as many who think
they are stimulating to the mutual
good relations among friends and rela-
tives, and it may be that useful gifts,
after all, will apply more to the hu-
man heart than many of those pres
ents which are not literally i%ndispens-
able"
Another merchant said hat there
was no reason to doubt that the COM
ing Christmas season will be in every
respect a satisfactory one
why, man." he said, there's plen-
ty of money in Grand Forks. Even
though we sign away half u income
to Liberty Loans and War Savings
Stamps and Red Cross, and so on,
there's still all the money we need,
and much more than that. I am not
looking for advertising or notoriety
in any sense, and l am not going to
make use of the opportunity present.
ed me to boom my own line Of goods,
but I will say that l think it unfort-
innate to notice tendencies indicating
that some people will leave off giving
the usual gifts to their children. Let
the children play. It's for US to work
and fight, and they will grow up alto
gether too fast to face the worries and
sorrows of life"
Several local retailers said that they
have placed their usual orders for
Christmas goods and expect to have
theiE stock equipped to meet the trade,
in plenty of time. Nobody reported
any fear that freight facilities. imped-
eddy the rush of war orders, would
seriously handicap the Grand Forks
trade.

shots in the right arm, each

makes most Of the boys sick
is that they keep thinking
about it before it comes off, then
they imagine it's going to hurt,
which it does little. After
they get shot they go back to
their tents and lie down, then it
makes them sick. After | got

with j. B. Fish as campaign
manager. Mrs. j. G. Peterson as
treasurer and cashier, with a
number of captains and teams
as solicitors, is being handled
with vim that assures a sue
cessful finish.
Not much was attempted on
Monday, as we Estanciaites had
our Albuquerque Boosters to en-
tertain and we also had a dust
storm. Others had been busy
and on Monday night, the good
news was wired to Denver we
already had the modest little sum
of $4,000 toward the 100000
this county is to raise.
On Wednesday evening the
sum total wired in was 81, 453. 81.
rEncino was first to go over the
top, Mcintosh second, Willard
third, Torrance fourth. Moriarty
fifth, Lucy sixth. The people
are contributing llDerally ana all
teams working like soldiers.
When the smoke has cleared
away on Thursday evening we
feel sure we will have gone over
the top, but as our advice from
Denver is to wire them when we
are over the top and KEEP GO
ING, we expect to do so, and
when the drive closes on Mon
day, the 9th, we will have our
required 100000 and several
hundred more.
What have you done? Do not
wait to be solicited. Go to some
member of a team and give ALL
you can. Your reward will come
when the good news is flashed
around the world-''We have
won! and this war we were
forced to wage against criminal

come sooner if YOU do all YOU |
