CHAPLINS FUND.

Chaplin Herbert G. Markley of the 116th Engineers, Amer­ican Expeditionary Forces in France, formerly the Second Regiment of the North Dakota National Guard, has sent an ap­peal for five thousand dollars ($5000.00) to replenish the Chaplain's fund for this regi­ment.

Writing Governor Lynn J. Frazier regarding the Chap­lain's' Fund Lieut. Markley says:

"I am mighty glad to say that the Chaplin's Fund is about all gone, and I urge you strongly to send at once at least $5000.00 to replenish this fund. I am sure that when you put it up to the people that they will respond in a wonderful way. The fund has been used the last few months especially for those boys who have been at the front and lost everything that they had, and have been wounded, laying in the hospital for weeks. These boys come to us before return­ing to the front and I want to say that if the good people of our state knew how much good this fund has done they would send far more than the amount I am asking for.

The North Dakota Council of Defense therefore calls upon the County Chairman of the North Dakota Council of Defense to conduct a voluntary drive to raise the sum asked for by Chaplain Markley. "Subscrip­tions in the County will be re­ceived by the County Chairman of the Council of Defense and forwarded to Bismarck to Gov­ernor Lynn J. Frazier, Chairman of the State Council. We do not recommend at this time that an organized drive be made, but we suggest that the substance of this appeal be given publicity in every paper in your County with the request that subscriptions be mailed into either Governor Frazier at Bismarck or yourself as County Chairman of the County Council. Neither are we assigning County quotas at this time, but if results are not ob­tained through the voluntary drive, quotas will be assigned with the request that the Coun­ty Chairman raise their appor-tionate amounts.' v

"The substance of this letter is highly important, and should be complied with, without delay.

Yours' very truly, F. W. Cathro, Chairman Bottin­eau County Council of Defense.

CONSERVATION AFTER THE WAR.

Fargo, N. D.,—About thirty of the County Administrators of North Dakota gathered in Far­go, Saturday, November 2nd, for a conference with Federal Food Administrator Ladd and the members of his' staff, and to listen to the new food program as outlined by Mr. John Hallo-well, first Assistant to Herbert Hoover and Mr. R. W. Boyden, head of the Enforcement Divi­sion of the United States Food Administration, both of Wash­ington.

That there can be no relaxa­tion in food conservation with the coming of peace was the most important message laid be­fore the conference by Mr. Hallo-well. He said:

"Even if peace should come at an early hour, it would not add one pound of food to our supply. On the contrary, it would enor­mously increase our food obliga­tions because it would allow us to reach with food the people of Poland, Roumania, Serbia, Ar­menia, European Russian and others who are now without ade­quate food supply. The total number of these peoples has been estimated at 180,000,000, some of whom have partial food re­sources and some of whom are now literally in a starving con­dition."

While the end of the war would bring release of large stor­es of food in the southern hem­isphere principally Australia and India, these added stores of food would not be sufficient to restore the starving people of central and eastern Europe to health and strength in the opinion of Mr. Hallowell. The 180,000,000 people to whom Mr. Hallowell referred would be in addition to the 120,000,000 in the allied na­tions who are now and will for some time to come, depend up­on the United States for a large share of their food supplies.

Interesting discussions of food problems as they affect North Dakota, featured the af­ternoon session of the meeting.

and Big Lake Red Cross' Auxil­iaries, Stillwater, Minn., amoufc-ed to *$441. Interesting features of the bazaar were four booths each representing a geason of the year.

The autumn booth contained a display of fruits, vegetables and preserves; the winter booth was decorated with pines and artificial snow and contained donations of homemade mittens, stockings, etc.; an assortment of handmade linens were sold at the spring booth and ice cream at the summer booth.

The influenza epidemic is be­ing handled in a skillful man­ner by the Red Cross and health officials of Brown county, S. D.

Five emergency hospitals have been established in the county where influenza and pneumonia cases are taken. These hospitals are furnished with trained nurses and assist­ants, most of the nurses coming from the local hospitals. Doctors of the community have agreed to call on the patients regularly.

According to the splendid way in which the hospitals and doctors' are cooperating with the Red Cross, it is believed that other emergency hospitals can be erected instantly if tlie need arises. Also, the Red Cross or­ganizations' at different towns have secured sufficient bedding and other necessary materials for the conduction of these tem­porary sanitariums.

The hospitals already estab­lished are located at Aberdeen, Columbia, Hecla, Westport and Frederick.

SUGAR RATION INCREASED.

RED CROSS NEWS NOTES

As the net profits of the seas­on's ball games' played by the Little Falls, Minn, baseball team, the splendid sum of $1,023.63 was turned over to the Morrison County Chapter of the Red Cross.

The gross receipts of a bazaar held recently by the Scandia

Fargo, N. D. —In accordance with its promise to relieve the sugar allowance situation thru-out the country at the earliest possible opportunity, the States Food Administration has beginning Nov. 1, increased the monthly household allowance from two to three pounds per person.

"The rapid manufacture of the new crop of beet sugar in the west and the new crop of Louisiana cane sugar in the south, together with freer rail­way transportation, reduction of consumption of sugar for manufacturing and the patriotic conservation of the public for the past four months en­ables the Food Administration to make this change," said Fed­eral Food Administrator Ladd, in announcing the new sugar ration.

Flattery is the bridge some men walk over to reach the good graces of others.
