AVIATOR son
OF FARGO NAN
AMONG MISSING
A. P. Dougan Notified That
Flyer Has Disappeared
Long In Service

William Lee Dougan. son Of Alp.
Dougan, 1907 Fifth street north, FAR
go, is missing in action. according to
a telegram received Tuesday after
noon by Mr.. Dougan.
William Dougan, rs years OF age,
has been in active service in France
about two years, enlisting originally
with the British and flying until ne
Gently as member of the Royal
Aerial corps.
A recent letter from the aviator
indicated that he anticipated early
transfer from the British to the
American flying service, as he had
made application for such shift
That he had succeeded in making the
change is indicated by the fact that
the notice OF the fact that he is MISS
ing in action was sent from Wash
ington.
William Lee Dougan went into the
service from ST. Louis, where he
resided. He was one of the British
aviators who took part in the distri-
button over the German lines Of the
first President Wilson message.
If the aviator has ever been taken
prisoner by the Germans, it will be.a
matter Of six or eight weeks before
any definite word to that effect can
be expected, as it requires about
that period to clear the information
from the German prison camps to the
Red Cross, at Berne, Switzerlana,
through which such data is handled.

port recently received by, them of
the standing and work done in the

In a letter from the captain in
charge of these IA soldiers the fol-
lowing comment was made on the
work done by the men:
These men have proved an1enable
to discipline and have been satisfac-
tory in this respect. With one or
two exceptions these men have
learned to drill very rapidly and have
manifested an eagerness to learn.
LAS to the technical value to the
service the fourteen automobile me-
chanics Cfrom the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural coilege) have proved COM
petent in every way and have a thor
ough knowledge of their trade"

WEEK IN
UNITED STATES

This is butter week throughout the
United States, inspectors and Of
| ficials under, the direction of the
| food administrator inspecting the
creameries to determine the cost of
production the amount of butter on
hand, and to make available all in
formation that would be helpful in
stabilizing the price. s,s,
The attention of the administration
is directed to this subject of so great
interest to the average person, in an
effort to protect both theS consumer
and producer of butter fat. With
the retail price of the best creamery
butter from so to So cents pound,
the tendency to use one of the but
ter substitutes is the one that the
average person follows. If enough
of the substitute. is demanded it may
result in the lowering the price Of
butter fat below the cost of produce
ton for the producers are. facing
unusual conditions in the price of
feed. 1t is to protect both interests
that the food administrator has re-
duested the investigation that is go
ing on throughout the nation this
week. The information secured will
be forwarded. to the Office of the
food administrator at Washington
The following notice was received
from Washington by DIR. E. F. Ladd,,
federal food administrator for North
Dakota.
"A conference which. was held by
Mr. Hoover Saturday, with some so
leading representatives of the dairy
interests, including members of the
agricultural advisory board, to con-
slider the present situation in; the
dairy products. 1t was the unarii-
nous opinion OF the meeting, that in
view of the large army. navy and al
lied demands that there was a, tenn
porary shortage in produce, espec-
tally butter in the market. 1t was
also agreed that the present price of
butter not only bear hard upon the
consumer but are not in the best in
terests of the producer as it tends to
diminish consumption and to per-
manently stimulate the increased
consumption of margarine, which is
about one -half the price
1T was agreed that these condi-
tons would sooner or later produce
a collapse in butter prices to a point
possibly below the cost OF produc-
ton. 1t was considered Essential for
the stable condition of the industry
that when such a fall did occur, the
government purchases should be
used to support the market at a
reasonable level,
