FOOD PLANNERS
MEET in FARGO

Fargo, Nov. 7.-About thirty of the
County Administrators of North Da-
kota gathered in Fargo, Saturday,
Nov. 2, for a conference with Fed
eral Food Administrator Ladd and the
members of his staff, and to listen to
the new food program as outlined by
Mr.. John Hallowell, first assistant to
Herbert Hoover and Mr.. R. w. Boy
den, head of the Enforcement Divis-
ion of the United States Food Admin
istration, both from Washington.
That there can be no realization in
food conservation with the coming Of
peace was the most important mes
sage laid before the conference by Mr..
Hallowell. He said:
even if peace should come at an
early date, it would not add one pound
of food to our supply. On the con-
trary, it would enormously increase
our food obligations because it would
allow US to reach with food the people
of Poland, Romania, Serbia, Armenia,
European Russia and others who are
now without adequate food supply.
The total number of these peoples has
been estimated at 18O,000,000, some of
whom have partial food resources and
some of whom are now literally in a
starving condition"
While the end of the war would
bring release of large stores of food
in the southern hemisphere, principal
ly Australia and India, these added
stores of food would not be sufficient
to restore the starving people of CEN
trail and eastedn Europe to health and
strength in the opinion of Mr.. Halo
we'll. The 18O,OO0,OO0 people to whom
Mr.. Hallowell referred would be an
addition to the 12O,O0O,OO0 in the al
lied nations who are now and will for
some time to some, dependant upon
the United States for large share of
their food supplies.
Interesting discussions Of food
problems as they affect North Dako-
ia, featured the afternoon session of
the meeting.

WHO CAN RISE TO OCCASION?
Name Of Man Capable Of Formulating
"UmbreIla Regulations" Will
Live in History.

With the passing Of each rainy day
it becomes increasingly strange that
no benefactor of the race has been
prodded, gouged or spat'ered into pre-
pairing Manual of Umbrellas" Peo-
pie have been carrying some sort Of
protection against the rain ever since
anybody can remember, yet the only
thing they have really learned to do
we'll is to lose umbrellas. No two
persons, not even lovers can walk I'M
der one umbrella without getting wet,
and raincoats probably were first de-
vised by a man who tried to carry an
umbrella over his wife's hat. What
excuse is there for the person who
goes through q crowded street holding
an umbrella before him in charge
bayonets fashion? An apology does
not exactly meet the requirements
after the tip Of an umbrella rib has
been thrust into some ones eye.
Folded, the umbrella is just as dam
gerous, when some one comes plung-
ing along the sidewalk holding the
umbrella at an angle of about As de-
grees ahead Of him, tripping every
one but himself. Then there is the
person who tucks the handle under
the arm, so that an innocent person
may become speared on the sharp end
which sticks out like a 60-f0ot tele-
phone pole on a 15-foot truck. Fur
thermore, wet umbrellas never were
intended as partitions between seats.
even at a motion-picture theater.
There is no desire to distract the best
brains Of the country from consider
alton of war problems, but some sort
of umbrella regulations are needed.

APPROXIMATION

By direction of the National War
Council and special request of Presi-
ident Wilson the United War Work
Campaign will open November 18th.
This campaign is in behalf of the
seven agencies doing welfare work and
comprises the following: Young
Mems Christian Association, Young
Women's Christian Association, Ma
tional Catholic War Council, Jewish
Welfare Board, War Camp Community
Service, American Library Associa-
ton and Salvation Army-all essen
tial and vital to the comfort of our
soldiers, nurses and other war work.
ers, and each conducive to the morale
of our army.
The army of these. combined agen-
cies is greater than any amount prev
iously asked. North Dakota's quota
is $675,O00 While this may seem like
large sum it is certainly the best
way to care for the wants of these
great organizations, for it saves the
expense of separate campaign for
each. We have contributed freely to
these agencies separately. Now let
us do equally we'll when dealing with
them collectively.
The fact that peace appears close at
hand does not minimize the need for
these agencies. When hostilities
cease our soldiers will be gathered in
camps where the cheering, helpful in
fuence Of these army homes will mean
as much to them as at any previous
time.
Let US express our appreciation Of
the splendid work Of our boys by res
ponding generously to this cause that
brings to them the comforts of home
and the knowledge that we have them
and their welfare ever foremost in
our thoughts.

u. S. ARMY MUST
POLICE ALL EUROPE

The biggest work and greatest o.
portunities Of the United War Work
Campaign agencies in France lie be-
fore and not behind them" This
statement was made here today by
DR.. Nolan, the best known editor on
the continent, who arrived in New
York yesterday on his return from a
six months service as a Y. M. C. A.
worker with the American forces.
Britain and France" DR.. Best con-
tlnues "have been practically stripped
OF able bodied men in order to main
tain their armies at full strength, on
the other hand, the man power of the
United States has, in comparison,
only been touched. This means that
the British and French must demobi-
lie first, in order to free Tommies and
Poilus for the great tasks of recon-
struction. The American forces dur
ing this period will have garrison
duty to do all over Europe. In other
words for almost year Yanks will
be needed as international police. In
addition to this it must be remember
ed that eighteen months have been re-
qulred to get our boys to France.
Their transportation was accomp-
lished under tremendous pressure and
it is uncomfortable that they can be
brought home in less time than two
years. During all this period the
Uuited War Work agencies will be in
dispensable. A soldier hit it right
with new defnation Of war when he
said "war is damn dull, damn dirty,
and damn dangerous!" Americans at
home accustomed to having the glor-
ious side of war played up, must not
forget that perhaps the worst of the
three is dullness. Fighting brings un-
bounded joy to American soldiers
heart, but long waiting periods are
all but intolerable. If hostilities are
suspended the war will be less dirty,
less dangerous for our men, but ten
times more dull. Just here United
War Work agencies come in. Ameri-
cans must think of these seven organ
izations not diane as great moral
builders during fighting periods, but
also as dispellers of dullness, both
during waiting intervals and months
following cessation of hostilities.

The American soldiers are driving

kaiser something like this:

TOUCHED BY SERVICE FLAG
Youngster on Brink Of Disgrace Re-
solved to Be Worthy Of Emblem
Displayed in His Honor.

"Why the service flag" is an old
question, but from one Of our middle
West towns comes new answer.
A wealthy family in an Indiana
town had son, who had never done
anything to reflect honor on his fam
ily-a family which was proud of it's
famous ancestry. He didn't enlist
when this war broke out, and then
tried to evade the draft, but was CON-
PEELED to 60 in recent call. He en-
tered a training camp a few miles
from his home town.
Rules and a regular life were hard
for him. Smarting under a we'll
deserved reproof, he one night decided
to desert. He slipped away from the
camp and, under cover of darkness,
made his way to his home in order to
get his civilian clothes and better ef-
feet his escape.
Just as he was ready to scale the
front veranda of his home he noticed
the service flag in one of the houses
great front windows. There it was
in the most conspicuous place the
house afforded-a great silk flag with
it's one blue star.
'It's for me-" the boy thought.
Through his mind passed the men,
DRY of his life-a failure in winning
any of the honors his family had
wanted for him. No college diploma,
not even high school one, had he re-
ceived-nothing except this one star
in this flag had he ever let his people
claim as his contribution to the family
famous name.
He turned back toward the sidewalk.
'"They'll get to keep that honor" he
told himself. "I'll make it bigger, toe"
and he slipped back to camp, elated
to find that his absence had not been
discovered.

recently for training decorated the rail-

KEEP THE SOLDIER
BOYS POSTED

ed themselves the question: "Will
my boy, granted he is spared
through the conflict, return to his
home, or will he be content to re-
main in some other country or some
other part Of this country2" And
this is a question we may all well
ask When this war is over there is
going to be a great inducement for
our boys to settle down away from
their homes and become citizens of
other countries. The war will serve
as refner, separating the gross
from the pure gold, and the young
man who comes through with hon
or untarnished will be eagerly
sought to fill places Of honor and
trust.
Now we are anxious that our
boys do not forget the old home or
become weaned from home asso-
Citations. We want them to carry
ever with them vivid picture of
the home joys and pleasures as they
knew them before Uncle Sam called
them to sterner duties. We want
their allegiance to hold to the old
home with all the old home stands
for in their lives.
To this end, are we taking the
right course to keep the memory of
home ever green with them? You
say you are writing regularly, and
giving them all the news of inter-
est you know. Yes, but this is prob
ably but a drop in the bucket to
what they would learn were they
with us.
Every boy should receive his
home paper regularly. He should be
able each week to tell all that is
transpiring back at home, and to
have as it were bird's-eye view
of the social and business life of
his home community. Home asso-
Citations should never be permitted
to fade from his memory but
should be renewed with every issue
of his home paper.
In numbers of communities the
home paper is being sent to every
soldier who has gone from that
community, frequently through some
public organization. No better ac-
ton could be taken by a board Of
trade, commercial club, home de-
Tense organization or any other or
ganization than to send each sol
der his home paper for the dura-
ton of the war. 1t will show to the
boys that not only have the folks
at home not forgotten single one
of them, but they are also deter
mined that not a single boy shall
forget his home through their ne
glect to keep memories of that home
green in his heart.
Every traveller is familiar with
the news stands in all the principal
cities of the country where sign
similar to this is displayed: Shame
Your town, we have the paper" And
every traveller knows the thrill of
pleasure with which he seized the
old home sheet and lost himself il
the familiar contents.
Whatever else your boy may be
deprived of, be surue he has his
home paper. 1t will pay well on the
investment.
