RED
CROSS QUOTA
!. {: MADE IN CITY :
Bismarck Alone Will Raise More
Than All Burleigh As
sessed Itself

Because Bismarck and Burleigh
county more than doubled their allot-
ment in the last Red Cross drive, they
were assigned no quota for the pres.
ent campaign. H. p Goddard, coun'
sty chairman, voluntarily assessed the
county $4,000 and the city $4,000. and
committees began their canvass Tues
day, confining their attention to peo>
pie who did not have an opportunity
to- contribute in the last drive. Al
an enthusiastic meeting of the city
committees, headed by o. w. Roberts,
general chairman for Bismarck, at the
Grand Pacific today noon it was re-
ported that $4,000 had already been
pledged, and it was predicted that the
city would 60 over $1,000 and the
county over $4,000. A complete re-
port from both city and county prob
ably will be available tomorrow.
The question of bidding on the
White House wool, of which two
pounds have been assigned to North
Dakota to be sold by Governor Frazier
for the benefit Of the Red Cross, was
brought up at today's luncheon, anu
each committeeman agreed to do ev-
erything possible to stimulate interest
in the buying. Toedate the only North
Dakota bidder is E. e. Klein, BIS,
marck tailor, who offers $l3 for the
two pounds OF wool.

HOTEL MEETING
WOULD BE BIG
BOOSTER EVENT
Three Hundred or More Greet
ers and Mixers with Fam
lilies Plan to Come
TO MEET AGAIN TONIGHT
Business Men Will Assemble at
Mckenzie to Devise Ways
and Means
TO MEET AGAIN TONIGHT

That the annual convention of the
Northwest Hotel Mems association,
which will be held in Bismarck some
time this summer, will oe one of the
biggest booster events and one OF
the greatest publicity mediums the
capital city has eyed enjoyed, was tho
opinion universally expressed by Bis,
marck b0nifaces and business men
who met with f. G. Patterson at the
Mckenzie last evening to consider
plans for the greeters' gathering.
The association already includes
North and South Dakota, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, ana
it is plannedlto take in Montana at
the convention here this year. 1t is
anticipated that the attendance from
North and South Dakota, Montana ana
Minnesota alone will suffice to make
the meeting Dig proposition. while
scores are planning to come from
more distant points in Wisconsin, Min
nesota. Iowa and Nebraska. Many of
farms in North Dakota, and there is
double incentive for them to come.
Bismarck hotel men at the meeting
last night suggested that the capital
city make no effort to compete with
the larger cities in the furnishing OF
metropolitan entertainment but that
Bismarck offer something novel and
essentially Dakotan for the divertise,
ment OF its guests. Among the iea>
lures proposed are q boat-ride up the
Missouri on one ,of Capt. l. P Bakers
packets banquets End dinner dances;
and a reception at the Bismarck Coun-
try club, wit hpossibly similar func'
tion at thte aMandan Country ctu0.
All of the Bismarck. hotels Will co.
operate In the entertainment OF the
visitors, while at least one banquet OF
dinner dance will be- held at the new
Lewis & Clark in Mandan. The con-
vention vii continue (, three, OK four
days, and the hptels WIN flirntah ord
mary accommodate ti0ns gratis.
I The only question involved is the
ability of Bismarck to raise the funds
which 1t is believed would be requir.
ed to care for the several banQuets. 1t
was roughly estimated slast evenins
that $4,000 would be!diAeded1 and II
was urged that the city would be re,
paid many times linr'theJ good will and
the publicity (which would accrue
through the convention The matter
Of finance will be caken up at a sec
ond meeting at the Mckenzie this
evening, when every business man In
the city and all others who are inter-
ested are urged to attend. The ses'
sion will be held in the Mckenzie
parlors at 8 O'Clock. 1t Is necessary
that a final decision fbe reached to-
night in order that dates for the con,
vention may be set, and a full repre-
sentatiOn is urged.

London, May 22.-The prohibition
of the sailing of all Dutch ships from
Dutch ports, the Rotterdam cores
pondent of the Daily Telegraph says

move by the German government to
compel Holland to sign on Berlin's

do owing to the onerous conditions

The German government accordingly
has refused safe conduct to Dutch

NORTH DAKOTA
WILL FARM ITS
IDLE ACREAGE \
Council of Defense Gives Farm
ers Privilege of Cultivat.
ing Stacker Soil

Following the formal adoption OF a
resolution comforting upon any North
Dakota farmer authority to 60 upon,
break up and SOW in crop any idle
land in his vicinity held by non-res-
ident, the North Dakota Council OF
Defense on Teusday adopted SPECIFIC
order directing E. J. Platen OF Dunn
Center to, take possession OF section
O fland near that place owned by a
nonresident, and to plant the same TO
flax. with the understanding that he
shall have possession Of the same sec,
ton next year, when the land will ne
planted to wheat.
This is the most radical action ta>
ken to date in North Dakota to assure
the government a maximum produc'
ton from Flickertail farms. The de-
tense council resolution provides thas
in the case of new beraking, the own.
er shall receive ten per cent OF the
net proceeds as his share OF the crop,
while from land which already has
been broken, he shall receive 20 per
cent. The only recourse the owner oil
idle lands has is to cultivate them
himself. II he shows no inclination
to nut them into crop, the North Da-
kota council of defense will order the
lands taken over by someone who can
and will cultivate them.
The immediate purpose OF this &C.
ton is to insure maximum crop OF
flax. The flax acreage already sown
is smaller than usual because much
land that ordinarily would have gone
into flax has been sown to wheat. The
council of defense intends to encouf'
age the breaking of every acre for
which men and teams or tractors can
be found. and the councils legal advls'
ors assure the board that it has
perfect right to take such steps, as a
war measure.
In the Dunn Center instance. it was
reported that E. ]. Platen had trac.
tor outfit standing idle; that he had
attempted to lease the land in ques.
ton without success. and that with
authority from the council he would
take over the tract and cultivate It.
