GRINDS HIS OWN FLOUR.
Yarmouth Man Has Scheme to Gut
the III. G. of l.. Grows the
Wheat on His Farm and
Makes il Into Bread.

Yarmouth, Ia, Dec. 1S.-Ray
Redfern, Yarmouth, two years ago
struck upon happy plan which cuts
his bread bill more than one-third,
and he has practiced it since.
He grinds his own -four.
II have winter wheat" he says,
land have feed grinder and engine.
Two years ago l ground some
wheat as fine as my mill would grin 4
it and used it to make bread. We
all liked the change from white to
whole wheat bread and each year
since we have ground some for a
change.
The wheat / grind is run through
the tanning mill three or four times,
polished by being placed in a barrel
ehurn, then famed again, when it IS
ready to be ground. We find this
-four very satisfactory for bread
baking. The bread is not as light al
if made with white -four, but more
nutritious.
1t is also cheaper, since sixty
pounds of -four at a cost of $1.70,
while fOrty-eight pounds of white
-four costs us SO. Moreover, the
whole wheat -four goes further in
bread making than white -four, as it
does not require as much -four to
thicken the sponge.
If you have good wheat, it is
worth your while to give it trial,
he advises. IF the cook gets dis
couraged with the first batch of
bread don't give it up, but use more
yeast the next time, as it requires AS
much again yeast as for white -four

LUTHER WINS FIRST GAME.
Swamps Dubuque Independent Blues
at Basket Ball, 81 to I.

On the evening of December 18th,
Luther College opened its basket
ball season by playing a non-confer-
ence game with the Dubuque Blues.
This team has an enviable reputa-
ton throughout Iowa, and that each
member Of the team was a good
player cannot be disputed Luther s
quint were determined on being vic
torious in spite of the fact that three
men were new. The first few min
utes were of keen suspense to both
teams and spectators, but the jinx
was at last broken by Larsen who
Gagged long one. Natvig and Lee,
the only veterans, continued the
good work by rolling in one after
the other Dubuque never lost cour-
age, and were always near at hand,
but a moment too late. The first
half ended with the score % TO l in
Luther's favor.
During the second engagement,
Luther played tile same steady game,
and had excellent teamwork. The
features of the game were Bron-
stad's work at guard and the innum-
cradle field baskets Of Natvig, who
succeeded to roll in fifteen. The new
men showed that they could handle
the ball with skill. The final score
was 81 TO l in Luther's favor.
In the second half, Rotto went to
center, Natvig took Lees place at
guard, and Tallakson substituted for
Qualley. For Dubuque, Ricketts,
took Sherdian's place at center, and
Sheridan went to right guard.

Reias CHARGED With Game.

Many inquiries have been made to-
day as to whether Rojas or Flanagan
should be charged with the loss Of
Sundays game many believing the
latter should take the responsibility
owing to the fact that two runs were
scored after he relieved Rotas. Rotas
is charged with the game. Altho his
team was leading when he was re-
moved, the winning runs were on the
bases when Flanagan went to the
mound. Had flanagan held MARSHALL
town without a run, the victory would
have gone to Rojas. as Muscatine was
in the lead when he went out. But the
rules specifically state that a relieving
pitcher shall not be held responsible
for the scoring Of men who are on
bases when he takes up the game.

Where is Your Binder?

Now that the grain crop has been
cut, reapers and binders should be
placed safety away out of reach of
the weather. There is no machine on
the farm which is harder to keep in
running order than the binder, and
if it is to be used another year, then
it should by all means be oiled we'll
and painted if necessary, and put
safely away until needed again. There
are far too many right now standing
out in the weather. Mr.. Farmer, if
you appreciate your binder as you
should, get busy and see that it is
under shelter and out of the way
where it will not get broken. Unless
you do you will be sure to have trou-
bic next spring when harvest time
comes again. Planters and distribu-
ters should likewise be put safely
away, and care taken that no parts
are lost. A thorough cleaning of all
farm machinery which will not be
needed again this year should be
made, and when the time comes to
use them again they will be in good
shape.

HAT AND SHOES CAN WAIT.
Boy Uses Money for Railroad Fares

George Latham may have needed a

overlooked the need in his desire to
plunge into matrimony. George is

sigh and love and wait. So the youth
coaxed money from his mother for
the shoes and hat, but when he got
it he sped to the home of Clara My
ers, the little daughter of a neigh
Dor.
It was all settled in jiffy, and the
children were quickly on their way
to Elkton, Md. There they, some
how, found a clergyman willing to
make them one. The hat and shoe
money paid the fee as we'll as the
railroad fares, and the pair returned
in fancied bliss. Georges parents

Plea to Set Clocks Forward.

cit is a wonder to me- said John
R. Edwards, of Portland, Me-, at the
Shoreham, that the government de-
partments in Washington have not
long since adopted the idea of saving
daylight by the simple expedient of
setting forward the hands of the
clock. This scheme has been tried
with great success in several COM
munities in our State, and the argu-
ments in it's favor are so sound that
it ought to come into general use.
'sIn the summer time especially,
with the long hours of daylight, it
would seem quite feasible for the bis
army of Uncle Sans workers to be-
gin their labors an hour earlier than
the schedules now call for and like.
wise cease their activities 60 minutes
sooner. Of course, this implies ex-
actly the same period of toll. There
need be no confusion, for the clock
would register, for instance, 9 a. M,
though in reality it would be but 8
o'clock. The gain, nevertheless,
would be a real and not an imaginary
one, for that extra hour toward the
conclusion of the day would bring an
untold amount of convenience and
comfort, especially to city workers. y

Flies and the War.

Flies are now as much menace
in Europe as Zeppelins and shrapnel,
according to F. N. Tonetti, New
York sculptor, who has recently re-
turned from the war front. AS a
result of his description of the ag-
onies endured by the wounded SOL
diers tormented by these pests, g.
100000 boxes of fypaper will short
ly be sent to the war zone by the
women of the Vacation War Relief
to fulfil a need as great as that for
bandages or medicines.
Beyond all words and all power
of imagination is that great black
swarm that hovers over everything -
Mr.. Tonetti said. 'They take away
sleep and appetite; they make life
intolerable. Sometimes amputations
have to be made without waiting to
get back to the hospital, and then
the flies are an added danger. Every
where you see wounded soldiers tor
mented by the flies, and often with
out hands to brush them away
After trying various methods of
killing flies while on duty in the am
bulance corps, Mr.. Tonetti finally de-
cided that the long strips of aypaper
were the most eficacious, and he had
often caught as many as 10000 flies
in a single day by this method.
Among the other services performed
by the sculptor while abroad was the
invention of an extensor for use in
setting broken bones.
"What I have done is little," he
said, "but the aid given by the
women of America, and particularly
by those of the Vacation War Relief,
is wonderful. Our country will be
forever loved because Of them
