LEAVE MISS NELSON ALONE

George Ballard of Ambrose says in
part as follows in a recent letter to
the Fargo CourierNews, the official
daily organ of the Nonpartisan
League:
"The office of superintendent
should be left alone. The people have
said in no uncertain terms that Miss
Nelson shall look after the interests
of that office and the present regime
should understand this and in no way
modest her. We do not want to play
politics with our system of education
and there is no question that Miss
Nelson will do her utmost toward

Without both it is hopeless. and with
out peace there could be no finance.
If they get peace, a moderate helping
hand In raw materials, machinery and
in some instances currency reorgani-
cation and temporary food credits,
the countries of Europe will soon re-
vive their export industries and make
themselves self-supporting.
The fifteen new governments that
have sprung from the old central Eu-
rope have been slowly evolving during
the period since the armistice from
the absolute perils of revolution. of
economic destruction and of demobil-
ization of transportation. but so far
without the possibility of the export
of private credit. Under these cir
cumstances they have had to be fed
from the outside. their distribution
has had to be managed for them and
they have had food largely on credit
from the United States, or starva-
ton on a wholesale scale would have
ensued. Europe would have been
plunged into an anarchy from which
it would not have recovered in ten
years.
"ln addition to this we have had
also to carry the large burden of feed
ing the Allies on credit. Few people
realize hat during the year ending
next July we VIII nave Eu.
rope with s2,750,O0O, 900 worth Of
food and that the whole of his has

ment except, perhaps, $500. 900 900.
with peace all European states
can manage their own transportation
and distribution and therefore con
tinuance of the worlds food control

Plenty OF Food To Feed
The World, Says Hoover
After An Investigation
Contoinued from page l..
imported feed grains are availabl

imported feed grains are available.
The decrease in sheep in enemy
countries is very large but there is
an increase in other areas due to the
tendency to substitute animals that do
not require imported food. for those
hat do require it.
while theoretically the cattle of
Europe could be restored in two years
and the swine in one year., If no ami
mails were killed, such a purse would
entail no local meat supplies, and the
natural course will be a slow recovery
over many years.
"At the present moment while the
number of cattle shows a decrease of
20 per cent, the dairy and beef pro-
duction probably is not more than
SO per cent because of the bad condi-
tion of the animals.
If the supply of foodstuffs during
the next year permits the normal
feeding of rel the reduced herds, the
meat and fat conditions of today will
be immensely ameliorated.
LAS to the feed crops in Europe for
animals, to all appearance about IS
per cent of the usual yield will result.
The pre-war animal food imports in
to Europe outside Of Russia of coarse
grains and seed cakes, were more
than 20, 900, 900 tons and during the
jlWAF lueSS lIllpOAIS udNc oiic " 10
E1cw as a rate of six million tons per
fannum. With the. diminution IN
therds, the feed imports should not
l@return to the pre-war normal.
r More Vegetable OIL Used.
The use of vegetable oils largely of
tropical origin for human consump-
ton has greatly expanded during the
war. There has been an enormous
extension of the oleomargarine and
substitute lard manufacturing facili-
ties, the butter consumption of some
countries in Europe having reached
about where the buffers of vegetable
origin comprise 20 per cent of the to-
tai supplies as against 20 per cent be-
fore the war.
Taking all factors together, every
evidence points to continued large i'm
ports of animal products. provided the
resources can be found to pay for
them. The exporting countries as a
whole possess considerable increased
herds and the oil production of the
tropics is capable of large expansion.
1t appears that there is against meats
and fats a fair balance in the worlds
ledger.
"More than SIS per cent Of Europe's
import food bill is covered by bread
meats, fats, sugar n feedstufs. AL
together unless some untoward cataS-
trophe happens to the worlds har-
vest there is enough prospective sur
plus IF these in h world next year
to meet the worlds essential needs.
THE problem of securing for Eu-
| rope the necessary imports next year
is a problem Of peace and finance.

It's. back again! What? Why,
braided net, Of course. The fiappers
and young %debutantes will think it is
something very new, but braided net
was with us some six or more years
ago Yes, indeed, it was the vogue
before the last siege of tight skirts.
1t was very, very fashionable and
frocks with braided net trimming
were very costly to speak nothing of
those which were entirely of net COW
cred with intricate designs in braid
to match, for the net was not always
white, sometimes black, navy or ecru.
This ideal summer outfit combines
braided net and linen. The net forms
the blouse and the linen the tight
pouch pocket skirt. The frock is
built on novel lines and will be es-
pecially attractive for afternoon wear.
The hat worn with the frock adds
a distinctive touch to the whole. It
is a large sailor shape and is Also of
net braided in a conventional design.
Wells which are trimmed with braid
may be purchased in white and ecru.
This whole outht is ecru net and nat
ural linen is very striking also.
