HOOVER IS URGING i MINNESOTA TROOPS
FOOD CONSERVATION
Sets Date for Enrolling Forces
to Work in Campaign that
;;is to Be Nation-Wide
- in Scope.
Herbert Hoover, federal food ad
ministrator lias issued the following
statement,- -inaugurating- the food
pledge week campaign for the week
of OctobW A-18:
"The week of October 21-28 ha.
been selected for a nation-wide cam
paign to complete the enrollment of
oar forces in conservation of the food
supply. The harvest is now in hand
and we can measure the world's re
sources. The available supply this
harvest is less than -last year. The
demand upon us is greater than last
year. From the last harvest we ex
ported more than we could really af
ford. We can only meet the call upon
us next yrar by savings, and by sub
stitution of commodities which cannot
be transported.
"The allies are our first line of
defense. They must be led. and tood
will win the war. All Europe is on
rations1 or restricted supplies. Or.lv
in our own country is each one per
mitted to judge for himself the duty
he owes his country in food consump
tion, although the world depends upon
us to guard end provide its food sup
ply. This is a 'duty of .necessity, ho
Hanity arid honor. As a free people
we haye elected to discharge this
dutv. not under autocratic decree, hut
without other restraint than the!
guidanre ot individual conscience.
Here Rests Issue of War.
"On the success of this unprece
dented: adventure in democracy will
largely rest the issue of the war. We
are asking every householder, every
hotel and restaurant keeper, and
cieaicr in iqqitsiums .m ui muum w
become a member of the. food, admin
titration foe . conservation- and ic
pledge- to foow in so far ji circum
stances permit .;the;suggestt'ons that
will be ofier4 from time to time as
to food, saving"! . -. ; , '
, "For us there, is lio threat of priva
lion. We wish thjlt our people should'
eat plenty, but wisely, and without
waste. YVisdom in eating is to mafte
possible such adjustments in our.fopH
consumption.: shipping and war neces
sities ;as wilfallow us to fulfill -out
duty ) in exj)0Ws to our allies r b .
elimination onwaste. - '
"I therefore appeal to the churches
and tlje schools for their, assistance,
in thife crusadef-'to'all the X3rf?aniia
tions for defense, local and national;
to all the agencies, commercial, so
cial afid civic, that they join the ad
ministration in this work for the fun
damental safety of thej nation." , ,
Ohio-Coach Confident of .-4
Turning Out Winning Team
Despite the war,. Ohio State univer
sity, which won the Western confer
ence foot ball championship last sea
son, will begin -this .season , with its
varsity team-practically intact.? Few
of Ohio's players have, enlisted or
left school. ' , f. - i;
I Coach Jack WIce, former Wiscon
sin star foot ball p layer, who led he
Buckeyes to victory last tall is con
fident that his team will be strong
enough to -carry off the .championship
, honors again. (. i , .
The first practice -, of the f year
brought out a fairly good list' of re
turning veterans and one or two very
promising men from last year's fresh
man squad to fill in the gaps. "Chick"
Harley, Qhjo State's crack half-back,
who won place on the all-Ameri-can
team last season, probably will
not be back, this year, as he is plan
ning: on entering the aviation corps, v
Holtcamp at center and McDonald
at end' have joined the marine re
serves and wij.1 not be back. Line let
ter men, upon' whom Coach Wilce is
depending, are.Teab.ody and Bolen,
ends; Harold Courtney and Karch,
tackles; Seddon - and - Captain ., H,
Courtney; guards, and Van Dyne,
center,' This means that the line will
be practically intact
Verges, last ftar's quarter, wilj not
be in 'the school this year. Fried
man, )h was Yerges understudy,
will be on hand, however. . Boesel is
back to play Jullback, Stinchomb, of
last year'a freshman team, probably
will play one of the halfback posi
tions, H v "
Enough sophomore talent is avail
, able to make possible a good list of
substitutes, the coaches say. Ohio
State's season ' will , open September
29, when the Case, school eleven will
play here... ,., . , p, , .

Championship Oregon Team '
;-Must Be Rebuilt Entirely
University of Oregon's champion
foot ball, machine, which last New
Year's , day defeated . the -University,
of Pennsylvania eleven at Pasadena,
Cat, will have to be rebuilt almost
entirely this year, as a majority of
the members have enlisted or will not
return to school. ,
" For a time "it. was" thought not one
of the; .1916 eleven would return, but
this tear was dispelled -hen Charles
"Shy" Huntington, last year's quart
erback failed to pass the physical
examinations for entrance , into the
marines or the ambulance corps and
announced that he would be back in
his suit this year. ,
With Huntington, the nucleus: of
the 1917 team- will ,be ."Bijr Steers,
a sophomore, 'whej last year played
on the 'varsity against ' the" Oregon
Agricultural college team, Basil Wil
liams, a tackle, and "Tony" Goreciky,
a track map who is reputed a good
prospect for halfback. ' ...
. Hugo Beidek, University of Oregon
coach; who is at present manager of
the Pittsburgh National league base
ball team, will be back on the campus
ready to begin work by Ottober 1.
Graduate Manager A. R. TifRny' has
announced. , ' i V "-
COME TO FORT CROOK
Forty-Fir3t Infantry Takes the
Q:iarters of Quartermaster's
Corps Transferred to Fort
Benjamin Harrison.
The Forty-firs; Minnesota infantry,
with Captain Cook as ranking officer,
has arrived at Fort Crook and has
taken up quarters. The command
consists of sixteen officers and 330
men.
The Minnesota troops arrived over
the Great Western on a Special train
of eight coaches; one sleeper, three
fiats, three box, two stock and one
automobil. car.
The .quartermaster's corps of 500
men that has. been stationed at Fort
Crook left for Fort Benjamin Harri
son 'on a special train over the Bur
lington. "The Campbells are coming, 0 hoi
O ho!" Or, rather, they're here.
They arrived Saturday to help make
the Ak-Sir-Ben week a success and
get recruits for the British army.
With f.fes and bajpipes blowing
iust as they o'ayetl the Britishers
"over the top" in the first days of the
war, when they checked the Germans
marchiug oyer France, so they play
on the streets of Omaha,
The Canadian Highlanders (Kilties
band, under the direction of Pipe
master Sutherland, will headquarter
at the British recruiting office, 1612
Farnam street, with their kits and red
jackets, their bare kaees and jaunty
feathers, the ruddy-faced Scotchmen
bfin$ a smile and a cheer to the lips
of those who see and hear them.
These men are on furlough because
wounded too severely for active serv
ice just now. Many are young boys,
for the1 age limit is lower in the band
than other branches of the service.
They are just back from a week in
Kansas City.'where they caused a sen
sation and brought in many recruits
for the king's Army. They will assist
in the work of the British' mission all
week, will play on the , Carnival
grounds' and march in tlje" parades.
They are a picturesque sight and their
music is enough to send, the most;hes
itating Britisher at once to the near
est recruiting ofiice..,.

Food Administrator Does,
v Not Fix Prices of Produce
The wholesale and retail price lists
of produce given out each day by the
state food administration in Omaha,
arc not prices -fixed -bjf that; body.
There is as vet no price fixing of
produce here. Statt Food Administra
tor Wattles says he has found that in
some cases both the retail dealers and
the consumers . have misunderstood
this. ?? t . :
"The local food administration,"
Mr. Wattles says, "wishes, it distinctly
understood that it .is pot attempting
to -dictate the prices at. which these
foods should be bought or sold, and
that the price list wholesale and re
tail are published merely., for com
parison. These wholesale prices are
gotten at the wholesale markets at
Eleventh and Howard streets, . each
morning. The retail prkep.re Re
ceived from various retail dealers in
different parts of the city. This' ex
planatlon is given, in Order that there
may" be no '.misapprehension. in rthe
future regarding these published price
lists." t . . . x'""' ,
Corn Takes Big Slump
On the Omaha Market
Wijh continued favorable weather
and reports that corn over the entire
belt is rapidly ripening, there was a
slump of 3 to 7 cents in cash prices
on the Omaha Grain ex:hange. The
sales were made at $1.88 to $2.01 a
bushel, with eighty-four carloads on
the market.
;'t Wheat receipts were forty-nine
carloads," ai.d by Food Administra
tion Agent Ncal, this, was considered
good. He is now of the opinion that
the shortage has been pretty well
overcome uid from' now. on receipts
will be sufficient to take care of most
of the demand of this territory.
Oats were one-half cent off and
old at 57J4 to S8tf cents a bushel.
Receipts were ninety-two carloads.

Council Sympathizes With
Kugel Over Loss of Ford
The august dignity of the city coun
cil was rudely shattered by Mayor
Dahlman and City Clerk O'Connor.
In the midst of the proceedings
O'Connor startled the city dads by
reading a resolution of sympathy for
Commissioner Kugel. The resolu
tion read in part: 'Whereas it has
come to our notice that one of our
fellow members was suddenly stricken
with the theft of his second-hand
Ford, be it resolved this- council ex
tend its sympathy to Mr. Kugel and
lay aside a sum to bring about the
capture of the arch-criminal, dead or
alive."
