It is to give them this information that an organiza- tion will be formed in each county and school district - to make personal solicitation uppn every family, it - was decided. If we were a member of the food admlmstratlon we’d hesi- tate a long time ere we attempted to tell the good housewives of the state that they didn’t hnow what it means by “food con- servaion.” As a rule, it has been a- lot. of -“experts” who couldn’t cook a soft boiled egg, attempting to inject a lot of theories into household actualities, and when a good Minne- sota housewife is slammed against a mandate that.shuts off herflour supply and she is urged to pay twice as much for her substitutes that are really cheaper than flour, it is small won- der the powers that be, responsible for just such a condition, have a difficult time getting the average housewife to swallow any fluffy ruffle set speeches at amateurish hands — iy WAY TO SOLVE INVADING CHICKEN NUISANCE Complaints are commencing to come into the police de- partment concerning chickens being allowed .to run at large over property of others and playing havoc with gardens. There is just about one answer to this senselessness on the part of owners of chickens and that is for the one“whose prop- erty and garden is invaded by chickens, other than his own, to either use a shotgun or some other effective means of extermm- ating the invaders. No one has the right to allow his chickens to invade an- other’s property without permission, but there are some people who seem possessed of the idea that they can let their chickens run unmolested all over the neighborhood.. They can do just that if the other property owners do not objeet but but they have the great American privilege of having chicken dinner at the expense of the ofi'ending\ chlcken owner. CAN'T KILL HlM—-CAGE HIM Happy Hooligan is in China, and it is a great pity he couldn’t have taken his brother, Gloomy Gus, with him. But|= he left him on this side and we are still afflicted with him. We meet him on every corner. He is in evidence wherever men foregather, and his pessimistic forebodings are as a wet blan- ket on the brightest enthusiasm. He just knows we will soon be fighting the Huns from our shores. He can see no: cause T TR Great Wheat Stocks !so!afed It's the shortage In ships that is putting the Allies and the United States on wheat ‘rations. Great stocks of wheat are iso- lated In India, and Australia. At great sacrifice in ship space and ‘‘use-the Allies are forced to se- cure some wheat from Argentina. . On 'January 1, Australia had stored 100,000,000 - bushels ot < wheat that was ready- for ex- port—but there were no ships. Then came thg new crop with an eipoi"tnble surplus’ of ‘80,000, 000" bushels. "Now "AtStralla has approximately 180,000,000 bush- els waiting for ships. _ h India, at the same time, had 70,000,000 bushels of wheat stered for export. During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will-be added to the pile. Argentina closed the last ship- ping. season with 11,000,000 Dustiels. "of . wheat left in the stock ‘available for export. The new crop will add 135,000,000- to the left over. It is not a problem that the wheat does not exist in the world—it is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of divid- ing our stock with the Allies.

In the trenches Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and | he was sent to a hospital at Grencble. There he was considered lacurable, and after the usual three months of treatment he was granted his 14 cents a day pension. Sdid his fatherly army doctor, “My son, you can perhaps cure yourself if. you will live In the mol)nn taing, if you will eat plenty of nour- ishing fuod and, ahove all, if you don’t ” worry."” Wacltele shouldshave amlled butihe didn't. He was thlnking of his baby and his wife—and 'his 14 cents. ¢Don’t worry!” The humor of it entirely es- caped him, Then the Red Cross stepped‘in. He was found by an American woman with some American Ked Cross money for just such cases, and within a few hours he no longer had néed to worry, for satisfaction in the magnificent stand of the Allies in Flan- ders, but sees the German hordes already pouring over fair|” France.

M. Favrot, of Baton: Rouge, said in his ad-{ dress to the negro state-wide Civic League: “I haven’t any patience with. this talk about the good Ger-| man people. There ain’t any such animal. If the Kaiser and von Hindenburg and all the other military leaders were to be 4 k{lled there’d be thousands of other Huns clamoring for their places. “Let’s quit this snivelling"and patter about ‘doing our bit.” We've got to make up our minds to do our damnedest!” - ——o GO THOU AND DO LIKEWISE, MINNEAPOLIS St. Paul just naturally cleaned up on Secialist Candidate Emme in the mayoralty race, electing Laurence Hodgson, a 100 Now let Minneapolis go and do likewise. —o0 PLANT ONE Pick out any plot of dirt you.can find—except on a-small boy’s neck—plant some seeds in it and own a war garden.— Baudette Region.
