SUGAR CRISIS BRINGS
OUT LITTLE DIVERSION

The curtailment of sugar in Be-
midi is being generally met with q
grim determination to stand the gan
and cooperate with the government
to defeat the foes of civilization.
And while there are some prize boobs
in every community, Bemidji offers
no exception. However, they are
rare and serve only to break the
monotony of such crisis as Bemidji
is facing in the sugar problem.
One of these specimens seated him
self in a cafe yesterday and when
he was handed his small envelope
containing his allotment of sugar,
the senseless patron poured the su-
gar on the floor and threw away the
envelope and stalked out of the
place.
At another place it was different.
A man entered and was seated at q
table. He carefully drew out a
package containing his IS cents
worth Of sugar and calmly proceeded
with his meal.

REWARDS TO spur
=. STACKER ROUNDUP

st. Paul, March 9.-A vigorous
campaign to round up draft desert
ers and delinquents is ordered BY
Provost Marshal General Crowder in
telegram received by Adjutant
General w. F. Rhinow. Police off,
cials will be encouraged to aid in
the roundup and will be supplied
with all available information of
cases. T. j.. .st,. -
Draft officials will promptly re-
port all cases of delinquency and de-
sertion as provided in the regula-
tions so there will be no difficulty in
turning the offenders over. to mill
tary authorities. All draftees who
are willful1y delinquent in report
ing either for physical examination
or for induction will be classed as de-
serters and reward will be posted
for each. r.. p
"A deserter may be apprehended
without a warrant" said the mes
sage, land a reward of $50 is pay
able for each willful deserter appre-
hended and delivered to the military
authorities and the reward will be
deducted from the pay of the desert
er.. No reward is payable, however,
for the apprehension Of delinquent
and his case can be disposed Of only
by resort to the processes of the
courts involving delay and expense
to the government 5
Because of the latter condition,
draft officials are directed to keep
the records in condition to allow
willful offenders to be classed as de-
serters, according to the local off,
cials. Il
The order directs the forms to be
returned in the future without de-
lay. It has been sent out for the
Information of all Minnesota draft
boards.
