FOOD 0DSH0RTAGE
IN EUROPE NOT
YET MADE GOOD
America Must Continue to Sup.
ply Cereal Products to
Old World

London, Jan .26-The shortage III
production of food caused by the wal
has not yet been made good. and is
not likely to be in the next year
says Charles 0. McCurdy, Parliament
ary secretary to the Food Ministry.
The wheat crops in exporting coun-
tries had run down while the demand
for wheat in the importing countries
was up, he declared. That was large
ly due to the fact that crops in Cen
tral Europe were greatly diminished
He predicted that the next year would
be the most critical since the COM
mencemert Of the war with regard
to supplies and prices of both butter
and cheese. The dairy product of
Australia would be much below the
normal owing to drought.
There was no prospect OF the world S
supplies of sugar being increased, he
said F.
AS regards meat there was a sur
plus in the country at the present
time but it should not be inferred
from this that there would be no diff
ficulty as regards the meat situation
in the coming year. In Europe, ow-
ing to the ravages of war, the meat
products would be down by about g.
100000 tons. 1t was evident. he said
that the people OF Europe would not
be able to eat as much meat as they
had in the year before the war.
Mr.. McCurdy understood that the
acquisitions from France, Belgium and
italy at present amounted to between
400 900 and 100000 tons. He did not
see where they were going to get it
but it was evident that if people of
this country got as much meat as
they needed they would only have it
because the rest Of Europe was hun
CRY and to a large extent would be
starving.
At the present time, however, there
was glut of meat in England and
during the next two or three months
it would be arriving at a rate at
which it would be difficult to dispose
of it.. There was serious risk of
a large proportion of these .cargoes
going bad owing to inadequate cold
storage facilities.

in 1919 when it had 63 members en-
relied. Some of the most prominent
citizens Of the city were members of
the lodge then and their fine drill
teams were frequently seen doing
their perfect evOlutions while the Bis
marck drill team was always strong
contender for hOnors at the various
state competitions in past years.
Seven new members were enrolled
at the meeting Saturday night and an
effort will be made to bring the mem
bership up TO what it was in 1909

been completed. the members will
start a campaign TO secure new men,
bers. They are confident that from
the material they have to pick from
that Bismarck canton will soon rank
with the best in the stae.
Bismarck is Il candidate for the
Odd Fellows home which is to be
erected in North Dakota this year and
besides the encampment and the sub
ordinate lodge, the canton will also

HIGH PRICES OF
SUGAR MAY LAST
SEVERAL MONTHS
Scarcity of Sweetening Due to
Hoarding, Speculation and
, Heavy Buying

No relief is in sight for the i'm
mediate relief of the sugar shortage
and in all probability prices will not
decline, but may advance to even
hipher levels.
This is the situation locally and this
condition will probably continue until
the beginning of April, according to
Henry J. Duemcland. manager of
the Bismarck Grocery Co., wholesale
distributors for the Missouri Valley
district. Various reasons are given
for the sugar shortage including spec
ulation. increased consumption, lack
of proper federal supervision and a
shortage of crop in some sections.
Some Hoarding. y
There is sufficient sugar on hand
to meet local requirements, Mr.. Due
meland said, but housewives are eau
toned to use the utmost economy in
order that everybody can obtain an
adequate supply. There has beer
some boarding here, Mr.. Duemeland
believes and this practice should be
stopped.
zone of the greatest causes of the
present shortage and high prices is
the increased consumption and the
boarding of sugar by some individu-
ais Mr.. DuemcIand said. ''Hoardina
should be guarded against as it only
increases the shortage and boosts
prices. More sugar is being used to.
day than ever before in spite of the
increase in prices and part of this
buying, we are sure, is due to buying
beyond the immediate needs of the
purchaser.
Spectators Helping.
"Speculators are adding their Bit
to the high price of sugar. We have
just purchased 1900 bags from New
York at $40 bag and were forced
to send our check to the spectators
before they would give US the sugar
We expect 500 bags here tomorrow
or Monday, which, with the rs bag:
We now have on hand, will be suffi

MAY
GET BONUS II
YEARS HENCE
The Adiutant Generals Circular
Shows That Chance of Quick
Pay Is Slight

Apparently it will be / years or
SO before all of the North Dakota
soldiers and sailors receive the state
bonus for their services during the
world war.
This is the only conclusion which
can be drawn from the circular lette.
sent out by ,Adjutant General G. A.
Fraser to the service men of the
state, copies of which were received
here today.
The whole situation is rather anus
ing, when one recalls the manner in
which the North Dakota bonus law
has been hailed by the Nonpartisan
league press as the most liberal and
best passed by any state in the union.
It is possible that the soldiers won't
see the joke however.
g Some of them may even wish they
had been residents Of the gang rid
den'' state of Minnesota -1efore they
ioineds the army. ard couA i.aeesfoa
look forward to receiving the bonus
now, when they need it.
General Fraser's Figures.
General Fraser states that the state
half mill tax will probably bring in
the sum of 100000 during the pres
ent year. Next year when the three
fourths of a mill tax goes into effect
the amount will probably be approx
mately s1,000,000.
The claims which have so far been
filed average 1915 each, according to
Tho o1iufarf CranoraI
A little simple arithmetic shows
that if the amount available for pay
ment continues to average $l,0O0,0O0
per year, and the claims continue to
average 1915 each, there will be an
average of 1900 claims paid each
year.
Now as North Dakota furnished ap-
proximately 10000 men to the army,
navy and marines during the war, a
little more simple arithmetic makes
it painfully evident that it will take
more than II years to pay all the
claims.
They Need the Money.
This is assuming of course that all
of those entitled to the compensation
make application for it. AS practi-
cally every man who served during
the war, especially those who drew
the magnificent wage Of $50 per
month. needs the money. it seems IA
pretty safe bet that all will apply.
The payments are to be made in
the order the applications are re-
ceived, except that any exservice man
who gets tired of waiting, and moves
out of the state will not get his CON-
pensation until all those still living
in the state have been paid in full
Under the circumstances the adju-
tant general urges that all men enti-
tied to the bonus make their applica-
tions at once. Just how man IS to
make solemn affidavit as to what use
he intends to put money which he
may get five or ten years frcm now
is not made plain.
The Minnesota Plan. VIZ
Over in Minnesota arrangements
have been made by which practically
all of the men who served during the
war will receive the state bonus in
the course of the next few months
This is done by bonding the state fol
the total amount estimated to be
needed for full payment. "
In North Dakota however the
idea Of bonding the state for such 6
purpose doesn't seem to have occurred
to the league legislators, althugh they
seem willing enough to issue bonds fol
pretty much any other purpose that
