ROBERTS, Meterologist. CROP SHORTAGES. From no less an authority than the International Institute of Agriculture of Rome we learn that the wheat crop of the eighteen principal producers 1s) twenty-five per cent less than in 1915. Other crops, such as rye, barley, oats, corn and potatoes, also fall short of the 1915 yield. Economists estl- mate, however, that even in face of | the shortages there is sufficient food to carry Europe through until another | crop. The food problem becomes one of increasing and vital importance to all Delligerents as the war progresses. In England steps are being taken to control the supplies and organize their distribution on the strict lines followed by Germany shortly after the war broke out. Dr. Ballod, a German __ professor, states Germany’s case as follows: “1 @ “terrible self-deception to mand OR S04 the German people could get along eleven months of the year with the grain they raise. * * * The importation’ of breadstuffs has decreased, but the total importation of grain and other food products has increased enormously, In 1911-18 we imported, in round, figures, 10,000,000 fons of grain and feed, and in uddt- tow). 100,000,000 marks’ worth of cat- te, meaty fat, fish, butter, cheese and eggs We may be forced to recognize Vil- Ja ‘next ‘to: save ourselves from Car- Fanza. —_ WASTE ON FARMS. Out of the war will come some ben- efits to offset in part the terrible loss of life. Necessity hag forced upon all belligerents the practice of conserva- tion. Germany especially has been com- pelled to find new ways to supply ma- terials denied them by reason of the blockade that hems in her ports. Her chemists have,,taken materials dis- carded as useless and in them discov- ered the sinews of war. These exper: iments after ‘the clouds of conflict clegrsaway will be given to the world. This nation with its high cost of liv- dng can well take a lesson. It is in- disputable that enough is wasted in this nation yearly to keep it beyond ‘want. A recent report of the Department of Agriculture shows that $100,000,000 is wasted yearly on American farms through the improper conserva- tion of corn fodder and straw. Much of these by-products goes up in smoke each year as the farmer applies the torch to clear his land for another crop. ‘Not long ago a chemical engineer made this ‘statement relative to waste of one kind of white pine: “When this waste is intelligently considered, not as waste, but as raw material, it will be seen to afford a basis for building up the greatest group of co-related by-product indus- tries the world has ever seen. This will comprise wood pulp and board, paper, twine, turpentine, rosin, pine oil, ‘charcoal, tar, ethy] alcohol, cattle feed, varnishes, ether, and probably acetic acid and wood alcohol.” The war, if it continues, will foce wpon us the more intensive practice of economies and thrift. ———— Congressional investigation is show- fag the nation that in these days of - @fficiency even a leak yields divi- dends.

There are about 45,000,000 acres of lonly approximately 15,000,000 are un- der cultivation. Based upon this total a tax of four cents the acre would pro- duce $648,212.88 per anum; five cents, $810,780.60; six cents, $973,898.92; seven cents, $1,137,502.86; eight cents, $1,294,955.66, and nine cents, $1,460. 514.18. In 1916 the total amount paid in pre- miums into North Dakota’s state hail fund was $33,112.37. Premiums were assessed at a average rate of 30 cents the acre on 110,000 acres, and hail losses were paid at about 38 per cent of the adjusted loss. The last year as an abnormal one in the heavy extent of losses. In 1915, which was a-nor- mal year, commefcial hail insurance companies operating in North Dakota collected..$2,418,431:52 in premiums. men to vote for presidential electors. | | tivated lands of the state would create | tillable lands in North Dakota, but; the equivalent of 16 cents per acre on all the lands under cultivation; and paid out in losses $1,654,761.11, the equivalent of 11 cents the acre, State hail insurance is now before the senate, When time comes for fin- al action, Deputy Sheehan's figures will be found of interest. HOSTAD HAS {DEAS ON LERISLATION NEEDED BY THE KNIGHT OF THE RAIL Senator From Ward County May Introduce Full Crew Bill and Quicker Payday A semi-monthly payday for all wage- earners and a full-crew bill for the railroad boys are two pet measures which are incubating in the man-sized brain of Senator Thorwald , Mostad, the new member from Ward, county. Mr. Mostad, who, is one of the young- est members of the upper house, hav- ing recently celebrated his 85th birth- day, .was elected, on the Non-Partisan league platform, as a Democrat, retir- e e SENATOR THORWALD MOSTAD ing Walter R.

Senator Mostad is a farmer. For |2% years he wa8'deputy United States marshall for thé northwestern section of the state. Agide from that one job, he never has caveted a slice of the public payroll in his 29 years resi- dence in Ward: county, whither he came when a chap of seven-from Red- | Wood county, Minn. Senator Mostad feels that the 400 majority which his league program won him last Noyember has commit- ted him to the league platform, and he expects; to stand pat on line originally laid down by the+league. He is not radical upon any subject except that of matrimony, which ticket. he has consistently bolted every time a fair damsel of Ward has sought to inveigle him into caucus, i TO ATTEND MEETING. S.

EQUITY PAGKING PLANT MAN LIKES BURTON STORIES Most Enlightening Treatises on Handling Food Stuffs Ever Given Northwest FINAL DECISION ON BIG PROJECT DUE THIS MONTH “I doubt if the people of the north- west have ever got anything in the jnews columns so enlightening and so lreally instructive as these articles,” last evening declared Ferdinand 'M. King, former branch manager for the ‘National Packing company, and now | general sales agent for the Equity Co-operative Packing Plant company. Mr. King was referring to a series of articles on the handling of food- stuifs, with thelr relation to the high cost of living, which H, L, Burton of the Newspaper Enterprise association recently wrote forthe Bismarck Trib- une and published exclusively in these columns. Knows His Subject. - “The Burton articles struck the keynote,” said Mr. King. “This man Burton, ‘beyond a question, knows what he is talking about. This series has done our packing plant project more good than any publicity which we could have possibly procured. ‘Farmers all over the state, wherever the ‘Tribune goes, are talking of them.” < : Old Meat ‘Man. Mr, King is an old-time meat man, who grew up with the Armours, Swifts, Cudahys and other kings of the packing industry. Until Uncle Sam dissolved the National Packing company, the present Equity man was manager of some of its largest south- ern ibranches, in Shreveport,; La. New Orleans, Atlanta and other important Dixie centers. He is now actively as- sociated in the promotion of the Equi- ty plant, for which he sees a big future. {To Decide Next Week. W.-C. Ochampaugh of Fargo, gener- al organizer for the Equity plant, dropped in with Mr. King last night. He is very well pleased with the way the project is taking and he states that until cold weather and. heavy snows made it difficult’ fo: solicitors to get about, stock wag,selling like hot cakes. OV. aH The annual ‘meeting, of the Society of Equity of ‘North Dakota will be held at Fargo beginning January 17, in conjunction with the (Tri-Sta' Grain Growers’ convention. At this ssion final plans for the launching of the Kquity packing plant will be laid. Complete harmony now exists between the league and. the ‘Equity; an agr the cement has been, t thed on state-ownership question and is nothing, Mr. Ochampauzh be- to prevent the project from proving a success, ¥ SEE POSSIBILITY OF RETARDING ACTION ON FLOOR OF THE HOUSE duction of Committees Unless Bills Are Caucused That progress will be’ tetarded on the floor by the action of the house yesterday afternoon-.in -authorizing the committee on,rules to cut down the members ‘of the standing commit- tees tc a minimum-of three and to a maximum of'nine in referring back to the rules committee its report, was the opinon of several prominent legis: lators seen in the lobbies of the hotels last evening. The reduction of the membership of the committe it was pointed out, was undouttédly aimed to expedite legislation, but according to several of the old heads, a.committee—say of 21 |members—can thresh out a bill in a committee room and save more time than when the measure is brought up in the house and has only a scattered few to support it. However, a few of the non-members pf the league are of the belief that most of the: bills will-be caucused in the league headquarters, which if it be so, the steam-roller will be put on and ‘it will be easy sailing to get the measures through. It was inferred from the action of the house on re- ferring back of’ the report that the league’s program now is to get to the matter of a constitutional convention as soon as possible. As a result of the recommendations to the rules committee from the house, the committee on committees togeth- jer with the speaker, went to work last night in tearing down the committeer which had already been named and se- lecting 46 new committees in:conform- ity with the rules. The revision is a tedious task and no one seems to fan- cy the job of the members on the committee of committees. EDITOR IN CITY. Ernest’ .L.

Ever since Scheele, in 1775, discov- ered that uric acid was present in the system, scientific men have been mak- ing experimental investigations and it is the almost universal opinion of our best medica) men that the presence of uric acid in the system in excess is the cause of rheumatism and gout. When the urate salts are precipitated out of the blood into the solid tissue- structure the person suffers from gout or rheumatism in the muscles and joints, or suffers from lumbago and pain in the back muscles. The first aim of the sufferer should be to get rid of the uric acid, which, in excess, is a poison, and to do this it i swell to drink a pint of hot water morning and night—get ‘tablets of Anuric at the inearest drug store and take them be- fore meals regularly, Anuric will do no harm to the system and will carry off the uric acid by stimulating the kidneys. Then tincture iodine may be painted over the swellings, or in more severe cases hot linseed poltices may be applied to soothe the local symp- toms. But most important is it for the sufferer to abstain from red meat, to diet, drink only lemonade or hot wat- er, and take Anuric for a considerable time as it causes a drainage outward of the uric acid and is many times more potent than lithia and usually one finds that it dissolves uric acid as hot water does sugar.

STATE OVERORAWN; MAY HAVE RELIEF FROM TAX DUES ON INHERITANGES a ty To Pay Amounts Now Due North Dakota The state of North Dakota, State Auditor Karl R. Kositzky announced last evening, is overdrawn just $347.23, and its unpaid bills, allowed by the state auditing board and now due or past due, amount to just $46,- 194.90. There is, however, some 1i10- ney coming in right along, and tne auditor hopes there will be enough cash in the treasury to take care of the legislators when their vouchers are presented. After Inheritance Tax. The state auditor intends to see whether it will not be possible for the state to collect some $12,000 dues in inheritance tax which is being held by county treasurers. The treasurers have not “forked over” before +be- cause of a confusion in the inherit- ance law, one section of which pro- vides that the county treasurer shall forward 100 per cent of the tax col- lected to the state treasury, while an- tother clause provides that the coun- ties making the collection may re- tain 2 per cent. Auditor Kositzky is informing the county officers that if they will forward to the state the 100 per cent required by law he will re- turn to them the 2 per cent to which the’ same law entitles them. This $12,000 would relieve the immediate stringency considerably, and it is hop- ed that by the middle of the month receipts from December tax sales will be showing up. if FROM GOVERNOR’S HOME.

The feeble-minded institute and the hospital for the in- sane each receive from the counties $15 for each patient. This amount is sufficient for the former, but an in- crease to $18 per patient or an added appropriation will be asked for the hospital for the insane. Regents Finishing Up.
