Respect Your Bread

1t is an American tradition that
ut is wicked to waste food" but in
late years this tradition has grown
dim. Even ia hard times enormous
quantities of foodstuffs are wasted
by The families of the well to do,
and by restaurants and hotels. In
prosperous times families with small
incomes are likely to lose, in throw
ing away food. more than they can
save by careful buying. Waste has
become a national trait.
Germany just now is setting an
excellent example in this respect. A
proclamation posted all over the
empire warns a naturally frugal
people against any waste of food in
any form.
Respect your dailv bread" reads
the proclamation. DO not desplse
even a single piece Of bread because
it is no longer fresh. Do net cut off
a slice more than you wish to eat.
Eat war bread Ia cheap but nourish-
ing compound). Whoever peels po-
tatoes before cooking them wastes
much, Do not throw away leavings
of potatoes, meat, We getables, etc,
but collect them as food for cattle.
Such leavings will gladly be called
for by farmers, Breadstuffs must
not be used for fodder, but be kept
for human food"
We are far from having the same
need that Germany faces at this
time. We do not have to be econ.
omical with bread that the hopes of
our foes NAV be confounded." But
fortunate and prosperous though we
are in comparison. there is neverthe-
less an ancient foe always alert. hos
tile and ready for invasion in every
home-Want, or the Fear OF Want.
And this is an excellent time to en-
ulate Germany in waging a cam
paign against that enemy. -Aber-

CONDITIONS GOOD
In SOUTH OAK.
State Bank Examiner on Bust.
ness Conditions at Present
Time

Sioux City journal. business con-
ditlons in South Dakota are now at
a normal standing. but may be ex.
pected to be better from this time
on, in the opinion of J. l.. Wingfield
bank examiner for South Dakota,
who is in Sioux City on business.
1t took the first thirty days of the
corn movement to cancel obligations
of the last year. and with that out
of the way the balance Of the corn
money is being put into general cir
culation, with the result that bust.
ness conditions will improve, Mr.
WingfeId explained.
South Dakota's corn crop was de-
scribed as being the greatest IN her
history, especially in the eastern Sec
too of the state, In this portion,
according to MIR Wingfield. there
has been much difficulty getting it
into the elevators.
There has been a disposition on
the part of the elevators he said,
Ito draw on their credits in the
movement Of corn. and in some
places this has been done to some
extent. At n place where | inves.
tigated the bank through which the
elevator operated took nc into the
country and showed me immense
amounts of corr that had not been
shelled, and could not Be shelled un

ping of It,"
Corn elevators said Mr. Wingtie!d,
are filed practically to capacity
throughout the eastern section of
state.
The cattle market" Mr. Wing
field continued, lis favorable at this
time. There will be but little ship
ping of feeders, stockersI or slaugh-
ter stuff from this time on, for the
reason that there rs a tendency
among the farmers of South Dakota
to restock the country and feed up
a great deal of the corn crop. With
this in mind they will send out al
most no breeding or feeding stock
until nest year"
Bank deposits. SAID Mr. Wingheld,
are now almost normal. but during
the last few months have been some
what lower than usual. This is not
an indication that business has been
poorer than elsewhere. as money has
been some what tight throughout the
country, he added. The deposits
at this time are considerably lower
than at the same time either one or
two wears ago, but now are increas-
ing at a favorable rate, he said. The
loss of deposits was declared to have
come from the heavy demand for
money before the corn crop was in
readiness for moving.
Mr. Wingfeld formerly lived in
Sioux Citv, having been connected
with several of the wholesale houses
in the city before going to South
Dakota as instructor in a Mitchell
business college.

this, these supernatural beings were
invited into the dining-room, where
they supplied themselves with sub

mortals. Saturday night number

selves as ghosts and hobgoblins and
stalked solemnly up and down the

McLAURIN GETS JOB.
Senator Lands Position as State
Warehouse Commissioner.

Columbia, November2: The State
warehouse bill is law, as has here
tofore been published.
State Senator John L McLaurin
was elected by the joint session OF
the Legislature as State Warehouse
Commissioner last night by the
General Assembly. His election
took place on the first ballot after
the joint Assembly convened Friday
night. The position will pay a sal
ary of $4,000 and expenses.
Senator McLaurin introduced the
State cotton warehouse bill in the
Senate when the special session be-
gan. In the form in which it be-
came law it was at considerable va
rance with the original bill.
The act to regulate the storage
and grading of cotton is, therefore,
now in effect.
An appropriation of $4,000 is
provided by the bill to carry out its
provisions.
The Commissioner is authorized to
lease warehouses and to appoint
clerks, officers and all necessary
employees and fix the salaries"

If the European powers be as
liberal in pensioning the survivors
of the Pan-European war and the
widows and orphans of those slain
in battle as the Federal Government
has been to their Civil war veterans,
it will require all the resources OF
the Bank of England to meet one
annual payment. But the Govern
ments of Europe probably will not
be so liberal, unless they have a
conquered country to make bear
the brunt of taxation, as the United
States Government has had.
