SUPPRESSION IS DENOUNCED BY NEWSPAPERMAN Absurd, Cruel and Infamous, Says Editor of Chicago Herald PATRIOTIC PRESS PRAISED Chicago, March 11—James Keeley, publisher of the Chicago Herald brought prolonged applause from 300 Lilinois editors here today by an uat- tack on the war departments order that only’ the names, and not tho ad- dregses or names of next kin of slain American soldiers would be given the newspapers. Mr, Keeley characterized the order as “absurd, cruel, infamous and im- possible.” The editors were the guests of the Illinois state council of defense at a luncheon. They were invited in or- der that the council might acknow- ledge the great debt owed the press without whose aide, Chairman Samuel Tnaull said, the council could not have accomplish its great and difficult task and to confer on future plans. The new Mberty!loan and the necessity for com: pleting some of the county councils of. defense Mr. Ingull said were new tasks for the newspaper. Governor Frank O. Lowden deliver- ed a patriotic: address: in which he as- sorted that the present war, more than any. other was of the deopest alg- nificance to the American people, Mr. Keeley in addition to criticising the war department order as inflict- ing the cruetty: of uncertainty in thor ands of homes, remarked’ that. thero were altogether too many public ag- ents in Washington.

D., Mar. 11.—In one of the fastest and most closely con- tested games ever played on the uni- versity floor, Grand Forks nosed out Devils Lake 12 to 10, in the finals of the Northeastern District Basketball championship Saturday.

Director Porter wires: “Your tele- gram with grain dealers’ resolutions received, Am artanging for it to be brought up at first meeting Council of National Defense and also calling it to urgent attention of acting secre- tary department of agriculture and the committee on seed stocks thereof.” Wants Baker to Get It Secretary Hellstrom on receipt of Director Porter's message immedfate- ly wired tho national defense council, calling attention to the fact that the grain growers’ resolutions were ad- dressed to the secretary of war and not to the secretary of agriculture, and urging that they be brought to the at tontion of Secretary Baker as early as possible. “The farmers are already assurred all the help the secretary of agricul- ture can give them,” said Mr, Hell- str ‘What we ur now is emerg- © clief, entirely aside from and in addition to pro ons that have been made, It must be regarded essentially as a war measure, and .as an emerg- ency war measure for this relief must come at once, if it is to accomplish anything. I intend to leave nothing undone which will assist in impressing this fact most vividly upon the admin- istration at Washington.” STATE W.C.T.U.

W. Shorthill of National Coun- cil Leaves Message for Dakota Farmers “Every citizen of our country now | appreciates fully that our present sup- py of wheat is very low. Under pres- ent conditions this is a very serious situation because of the important place which wheat holds in the rations | of our soldiers. It constitutes about } one-third of the food supply of the! modern soldier. We need vastly more | wheat, just at the time when we have | decidedly less wheat,” says J. W. Shorthill, a member of the United) States food administration grain cor: | poration. “Many appeals have been made to the American farmers to increase pro- duction in differont lines, but’ the urg- ent need at resent is a record-breaking wheat crop. A bountiful supply of wheat is necessary to win this’ war. Tho farmers of this nation are in the battle line when they are in their wheat fields, just as- surely as are our sol- diers when they are in the trenches in France. “It has been suggested that the farmers will be inclined to plant other crops than wheat, because the present prices of those other crops are higher | than the present fixed price of wheat, and if that condition continues it will | be more profitable to raise other crops than to raise wheat, But that may | |not be the result. | | “The farmer should remember that | there is no fixed price on flax, barley | ;or other cereals. Big: crops of those | |Srains may mean very much lower | | prices. but no matter how large the / crop of wheat, the price is known onw. | | The only uncertain conditions in con- | [nection with growing a wheat crop | | this year are conditions over which | ; man has no control-and it may easily ‘be in the end that the present. fixed | price for wheat will be much more sat- isfactory and much more profitable ; than the pyices that may later pro- | vail for other cereals. | “But the possibility of the greatest | | profit is not the most important thing | to consider. The greatest need of our | | country at present is wheat as it never | needed it before. The farmers of | | North Dakota can not do anything just | | now that will serve their country bet- | | ter than to sow wheat; they can not | | do anything just now that will better | !agsist. to properly care for their boys | | at the front than to sow wheat.” | | NOT TALKING POLITICS |Rep.
