WASTE OF BREAD
BY BRITISH SOLDIERS
Thrown Away by the Men Because Of
Food Brought by Relatives and
Friends. f7sSs ssss Il i

London, July 27-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press)-The report
that the British soldier uses bread to
clean his boots with has caused an
officer attached to the Quartermaster-
General star to make q statement
in the Times regarding the wastage
OF food in the army, which he thinks
is no more to blame in this respect
than the civilian population.
There is no doubt" says the Of
flcer, that where a very large num-
Der Of men are assembled under mill
tary conditions the appearance of
waste viii be more striking than fam
ny waste in y civn community"
He then admits that the wastage of
food, particularly of bread, is charac-
teristic OF the army, since it is the
vice of large section of the British
pOpulace. Some waste is Inevitable in
the army, but It can be reduced to a
minimum IL the officers of regiment
give the food problem the same at
tention they give to the training Of
the men in the field.
Ayoidable waste is usually coupled
with complaints of deficiency Of food.
But no small cause is the fastidious
taste OF the men Of the new armies,
who come in large part from nice
homes and are not used to the coarse
fare OF the camp. The serving Of
food also often involves waste, as
when all the meat is cooked and serv-
ed at once, and the scrap ends and

connecticut has constantly been
governed by the Federalists- The
Democrats have never once had the

A GREAT DAYS SPORT
United Commercial Travellers Pic
mic Hugely Enjoyed.

The annual picnic of the Oskaloosa
Council No. 514 United Commercial
Travellers was held Saturday at Eve
land Park. Over seventy were in at
tendance at this most successful and
enjoyable outing Of the local council.
The day was ideal for such picnic
and hay was made while the sun
shone." Every number on the pro-
gram was carried out in the manner
planned and all the contests and
events were entered into with a very
noticeable spirit of enthusiasm and
sportsmanship. While all the events
we're given for the fun in them a real
spirit of contention prevailed that
increased the laugh producing fun in
them. A surprise was afforded all tor
when they arrived on the ground they
found the local moving picture men
on the job to take movies of the
events of interest, which movies are
to be shown at one of the local the
aters at a time to be announced later
Pictures were taken of every contest
and event from start to finish and
will certainly afford pleasant rccol'
lections to those present at the picnic
and fun and enjoyment for others.
Some of the more humorous events
of the day were Blue Monday Made
Bright by Using Flake White" Ia
dies contest; "Wheelbarrow Race
by the men; WELDING Witches;
Weapons" by the ladies, and tho
Dutch ball game between the Fats
and the Leans, which was won By the
Leans by a 10 to 4 score. The game
was "photoed" from start to finish
and that alone would make good
comic film.
The entire day was eujoyed by AL
and was counted one of the most
profitable gatherings tine council has
ever held, fulfilling to the limit tho
wishes and desires of the commit
tees. Not a single dull moment was
allowed during the day and ever
second was full of its share OF side
splitting fun. The pictures OF this
grand and glorious day will in way
repeat one of the great events in the
history of the local U. c. T. Council
| No. 514.

PUSHING BRIDGE WORK
Weather Conditions However Are a
Great Hindrance.

County Engineer A. L. ROmmell is

bridge over Cedar Greek and just as
soon as the plans are ready the con
tract for the work will be let. Al
present Whitlatch and his bridge men
ARE making ready to begin the con

The weather conditions are a great
hindcTance to their progress and max,
es the work seem slow. Concerning
the Mahaska county roads the Editor
of the Mt. Pleasant Weekly News
Journal has made some compliment
AIRY remarks. He took a one hundred
and twenty mile auto trip on July 3,
making a number of towns and taking
ing in a vast area of territory and
following for the trip the Great
White Way" He found the roads in
most all the places in good condition

found that they had evidently not tax
.en the interests in good roads that
some other counties have taken and
are not the best.
He makes a statement concerning
the Mahaska county roads which will
make the men who are doing the
work, and those who are interested
in good roads, in fact all the people
of Mahaska county feel proud of her
Iefforts. He states that "Mahaska
county is right up to snuff on the
good roads question. From Mt. Pleas.
ant to Keota the roads were fine;
from Keota to the river, east of Os,
kaloosa, fair, but from Ogkaloosa TO
Pella and west, fine. Tremendous
work is being done all along the way.
In several places big construction
gangs are cutting down hills and fl

BIG RIVERS OF BOOZE
Will Be Emptied Into the Sewer on
Saturday July "a.

Booze will flow freely and without
restraint in 0skaloosa Saturday, July
ia, 1915, and no objection will be
raised. Beer, whiskcy, gin and wine
in wholesale quantities, will be offer
ed,-not to slake the thirst of man,
but to the capacious nav Of the

One thousand dollars worth of IL
approximately 1875 cases OF
beer, several barrels of bulk whiskey
and quantities of bulk gin and wine,
not to mention what is contained in
pint and half pint bottles.
All this will be dumped into the
sanitary sewer at the rear of the
court house, Saturday July "a, fol-
lowing condemnation proceedings.
This IS the booze seized at Buxton
a few days ago by Sheriff ID. E. Hen
ley and assistants, something like
five wagon loads of it. Brought to

date set for its destruction it will be
fed to the sewer. ....a... 49,.
Several deputies will be appointed
to let the viands gurgle into the UNI
derground pipes. Dumping the bar
rel and bulk goods is not much of a
job, but the handling of 1S5 cases of
beer is no joke. Each case of beer
contains twenty-four bottles. Each
bottle must be uncapped and emptied
as the bottles cannot be broken at
the court house. The total number
of bottles of beer in 135 cases is g.
$40.
How long will it require to empty
a bottle of beer, letting it run out OF
the bottle? Some say minute to
a bottle, including handling, uncork-
ing, etc Granting this to be so,
3,240 minutes will be used or total
of "a hours or almost five and half
days working ten hours a day, or
two and a fourth days continuous
work of twenty-four hours each. Five
men will require ten hours and over
just to dispose of the beer alone.
Method of destruction has not been
but a sufficient force will
be employed to destroy the merchan-
disc in one day.
Meantime the merchandise is not
only under lock and key but it is
also guarded at night against posi-
BILE theft and every precaution is be-
ing exercised against any unforeseen
or untoward accident or incident.
