His method is based on the use Of

CARL SOLBERG,
WILD RICE NAN.
DIES or INJURY

Carl solberg, 80, Stanley township
farmer, had his left leg crushed while
working on 60-horse power tractor
engine on the Albert Brekke' farm on
the Wild Rice river Friday afternoon
and, died from the effects of the injury
at Fargo hospital at IL o'clock last
night.
Mr.. solberg had allied the water
tank of the engine at about $3.50 Fri
day afternoon, while the engine was
running. He was standing astride
the belt pulley and started to climb to
the ground, when his right foot was
caught between the clutch arm and the
spider of the pulley. Before the en-
gine could be stopped, all the flesh
of his leg from the foot to the thigh
was ground from the bone. The In
jured man was hurried to the hospi-
tai, where the leg was amputated in
the hope of saving his life.
Mr.. .Solberg was the last surviving
child of MIS-. John K. solbeEg and
was born on the farm in Stanley
township, where his parents home
steaded in 1871. He is survived by
his mother, his widow and FIVE small
children, two boys and three girls.
The funeral will be held Wednes-
day Afternoon from the Red River
church, south of Wild rice, and inter
ment will be in the church cemetery
under the direction of A. J. Wright &
Sons, Moorhead.

WHEAT SELLS.
AT A PREMIUM In.
LOCAL MARKET

New wheat is beginning to come in
from the threshing machines that
are now running and is of exception
ally fine quality. Manager A. D.
Brophy Of the Fargo mill, said this
morning that he had bought over
1000 bushels, and the price paid is
a trifle above the local basing price.
Other dealers OF the two cities have
also bought all the wheat offered
and the market is strong.
While there are all sorts Of esti-
mates as to yields per acre there has
not been enough threshing done yet
to confirm any OF them. The yields
are heavy, however, and good judges
claim that anything less than rs
bushels will be a low acre average.
The first sale Of a carload Of 1918
wheat reported at Moorhead was
made on Friday by William Videen
of Moorhead township to H. L. Land
blom of the Interstate Seed and
Grain company. 1t was fine quail
ity Of marquis; brought $2.12 a bush
ell, premium over the local market
price, and was loaded out today.

At this time of year a woman of
forethought always wants to get some
new frock to finish out the season"
She wants something practical and
something which will do to start
the next season." For late summer
she will seldom choose thin voiles or
organizes, but very often fine linen
will be the material
No woman who might choose this
pretty suit frock would make mis-
take. 1t is conservative enough to
be suitable next season and smart
enough to be called a style frock. It
comes in white. blue. pink and grey
linen. Crocheted buttons are used
as trimmings and the seasons most
popular finish, fringe, is used to edge
the sash effect on the front and
sides. A dainty effect is obtained by
the hemstitching at the top of the
deep hem and on the bellvshaped
sleeves.

WORKERS ARE
Held MEMBERS
OF THE FAMILY
Ruling Announced For
Farmers In Purchasing
Flour and Sugar

Threshing crews and harvest
hands are considered members Of the
farmers family or establishment, in
buying flour or sugar." said Federal
Food Administrator e. F. Ladd to-
day. 1--WE have, had a great many in
quirtes asking how the farmer is to
present card system of distributing
these products to the consumer.
Farmers are allowed to buy sugar
and flour on the established basis as
given in our bulletins and made pub
lie through the press for all members
Of their household. This, Of course,
would include any extra harvest
hands or the threshing crews, who
are fed on their premises by the
farmer himself.
In the event that the thresher
runs a. cook car, he is allowed to pur-
chase on the established basis for
farmers and threshers, for the mem
bers Of his threshing crew and mer-
basis.
Sugar Shortage Relieved.
The acute sugar shortage in North
Dakota was relieved by receipt of a
telegram late yesterday from Wash
ington. allowing, North Dakota to
draw on its September allotment Of
sugar, to cover the shortage in the
August allotment
With only half Of the sugar re-
quired by the dealers in North Da-
kota, supplied under the new GER
tfficate plan which is now in effect
the August allotment for this state
was practically exhausted. BY allow
ing North Dakota to draw on it's
September allotment, the August re-
quirements will be filled, which will
be a great relief to the merchants
and to the consuming public.
I'VE believe the August allotment
Of sugar was based on a misunder-
standing Of the needs of the state"
said w. G. Crocker, Of the sugar d1-
vision of the federal food administra-
ton, "and we hope to have an in
creased allotment for September to
make up for the shortage caused by
using up part Of the September al
lotment in August. We hope to make
the September allotment about Sep
