The Railroads War Board has
addressed a plea to public service
commissions and all state. coun-
ty and municipal authorities
throughout the United States urg-
ing cooperation with the rail-
roads in suspension during the
war, of "all efforts not designed
to help directly in winning the
war;" The letter says:
The American Railway Asso-
citation Special Committee on
National Defense, now cooper
ating with the government to
further the successful prosecution
of the war. respectfully invites
your consideration of the follow
ing suggestions as means to facil-
itate the efforts of the committee:
The present emergency has
imposed upon the railroads a
very unusual strain in transport
ing men. food. coal. munitions
and materials in augmented guam
tity. This burden. while cheer
fully undertaken, requires every
ounce of energy. every unit of
rolling stock. every dollar of cap
ital. every bit of supplies and coal
which the railroads can COM
mand. 1t is the opinion of the
committee that all efforts not de-
signed to help directly in win
ming the war should be suspend
ed during the period of the war.
Indeed. this is obviously the
thought of President Wilson in
his appeal to the country on
April 10th. 1917. which included
the following statement:
1T is evident to every
thinking man that our indus
tries must be made more pro-
lific and more economically
managed and better adapted
to the particular require
ments of our task than they
have been"
Therefore. this committee ear
neslly recommends that during
the war the railroads be required
by the public authorities to make
improvements and carry out pro-
jects involving the expenditure
of money and labor only when
they are absolutely essential for
war purposes or public safety.
The prevailing high interest rate
on money. the difficulty of rails
ing money in competition with
the tax from issues of the govern
ment. the excessive cost of sup
plies and labor, the delay in OBJ
tanning material, and the possible
blockade of traffic and diversion
of labor. all contribute to make
non-essential construction unde-
sirable during the war.
The committee considers that
the erection of new stations, eli
mination of grade crossings. are
among the non-essential improve
ments which should be deferred
at this time. We suggest that
the basis of consideration of new
projects at this time should be
the increase in the capacity of
the carriers for national service.
Furthermore, we urge your CO
operation in eliminating all pas
senger service which is merely
convenient and not justified by
public necessity during the pres
ent emergency situation.

Red Cross Chairman Congratu-
Iates on Success of Christ
mas Drive.

Henry P. Dawson, chairman of
the War Council of the American
Red Cross. sent a New Years
message to the Red Cross division
managers congratulating them
on the phenomenal success of
the Christmas membership drive.
Through the division manager of
the Mississippi division, the mes
sage came to DR.. w. G. Sykes,
manager of the Aberdeen chap
ter. under whose splendid leader
snip the patriotic people of Alb
rsaeen aud allied territory re-
spended to the organization in
memberships. contributions and
noble effort in the way of donat-
ing labor in providing surgical
accessories and articles that con-
tribute to the comfort and welfare
of soldiers in the camps and at the
front. No chapter in the domain
Of our beloved country appreci-
ates congratulations on success
Of effort more than the Aberdeen
chapter. and few. if any. exceed
ed it in thoroughness of exploit
alton or attained more gratifying
results in any other field of equal
white population. Here is the
message:
In congratulating you on all your
efforts for the Red Cross and in ex-
tending my personal wishes for a
happy New Year may request that
the following message be consider
ed as sent to you personally and of
ficially, and through you to all the
Chapters and members of the Red
Cross in your territory. The latest
reports available indicate that the
Christmas drive for ten million new
members for the American Red Cross
has resulted in the addition OF six
teen million names to it's rolls. This
number added to the more than six
million members before the Christ
mas campaign makes the total pres
ent enrolment fully twenty-five mil
lion. This is magnificent fact
an expression not alone of the pat.
riotism but of the fine sympathy
and idealism OF the whole American
people.
The Red Cross War Council
congratulates and welcomes every
new member of the American Red
Cross, likewise it congratulates the
officers and old members Of the or
ganization who have given unstint-
eddy Of their time and effort to make
the membership campaign q sus-
cess.
But the wonderful achieve

tire population Of the United States
as members OF the American Red
Cross is less q triumph than it is !

Cross is not merely . humanitarian
organization separate and distinct

What can hiAdss bha tAEmey from

are good.
Will It be Tor lack Of money or cred

Will 1t be for lack of labor? Labor

shortage Of labor Is practically the
only great obstacle the farmer has to
meet In producing maximum crops. If
he could have abundance OF labor he
could increase the cultivated acreage
and by proper fertilization he could
view Of the lack OF labor what must
~ do?
He can do two things to overcome
che labor shortage: First. Increase the
applications Of fertilizers, which will
Increase the yield without eniar0in0
the cultivated acreage. Second, use

But overcoming the labor shortage
IL not all that Is necessary to obtain

Of important things that must be done
by every farmer to get maximum
crops:
I. Break tho land deeply turning

2. Harrow, roll and pulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting.
3. Use only the best possible seed,
preferably pedigreed seed, from q re-
sponsible plant breeder.
4. Make liberal use OF fertilizers,
and use manure whenever obtainable
TO supplement the fertilizers.
5. Give thorough and frequent eul-
tivation to the titled crops, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation.
g. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While 1t 10 true that everything the
farmer has to buy Is high in price, Il
10 also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced in price
as much as the price OF crops. and that

for the increase for which they are re-
sponsibls will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer mast
bear in mind IL he would be sure 70
raise q bumper crop and that is. to
place his orders early for everything
that Is to be shipped by rail. The
railroads are hard put to IL and do
not afford assurance of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv-
cred In time.
Even II shipping were good. there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers. especially there is a scarc.
ity of materials and advancing pri0ea.

asking the return OF their notes, In
sisting that they were obtained
through Misrepresentation
The Schafer Record, the local

situation in the following manner:
Farmers OF this section OF the
county are signing a resolution de-
nand1ng the return Of notes given

urging other stock subscribers sim

agents Of that concern in order that
they may not be induced to sub
scribe under false Impressions, and
mtsled, as they were.
Between 200 and 300 farmers in
this section gave notes for stock in
the Savings Loan and Trust COM
pany, aggregating around $780, 900.
The receipts given for the notes
show the par value of the stock as
500. The farmers were asked 500
per share for 1t, the $50 to be Used
for organization expense and sur
plus.
According to, the stationery Of the
trust company, this stock sale seems
to be promoted by men who are
close to the head Of the Nonpartisan
league, inasmuch as the officers Of
the company are given as G. s. You
mans, president; G.. o. Carlson, vice
president; Anthony Walton, league
candidate for representative Of the
29th legislative district, treasurer;
B. A. Blume, secretary. Among the
number Of the first advisory board
to board Of directors appear the
names Of H. r. Wood, Deering;
Thorwald Mostad, Minot; John N
Hagan, Deering; Walter J. Mad
dock, Plaza. There are thirteen 9TH
er names Of men who are prominent
in the league movement on the first
advisory board to board of directors.
THE resolution together with the
names of those who signed it-per-
sons who subscribed to stock in the
concern-follows:
Whereas, We, the undersigned
farmers Of Mckenzie county, North
Dakota, having heretofore been So
licited to subscribe for what we UNI
derstand to be bank stock, by rep
resentatives Of the Savings Loan
and Trust company a corporation Of
Minot, of which Grant S. Youmans
Is president; and having executed
and delivered our several promissory
notes therefor in amounts ranging
from 800 to $1,000 each; and,
Whereas, We subscribed for such
stock upon the representation and
under the belief that, we were to
be incorporated at Watford City, N.
D., and not in any other corporation
or concern; and,
Whereas, it now appears to US that
said representations Of the agents
Of the Savings Loan and Trust COM
pany, were untrue, and that we were
induced to enter into these subscrip-
lions by false pretences; it now ap-
pearing that we are not to receive
stock in the newly incorporated bank
