THIS is WHAT WASTE is

Hoover asks us TO eliminate thu
waste in food. What does he mean
by "waste?"
Here is ii summary of the chic
causes of waste which is pertinent
reading this week of the food pledea
card campaign:
/. Unnecessary transportation. Use
things Of local supply. Stop using un-
seasonable, expensive and scarce
foods. The railroads have enough to
do to haul war supplies and coal.
2. Improper handling in the home
Don't spill things. See that rats cant
make waste.
3. Poor meal planning.
4. Badly cooked food. Be careful
5. Careless service. In other words
individual plate waste. Eat all you
take on your plate and don't take
more than you need and want.

Rev. Edward Van Ruschen, who for
the past year or two has been chap
lain of the Sioux Falls penitentiary,
has rendered his resignation to the
state board of charities and correc-
lions and asks that he be relieved
from the duties of the place not later
than December /. In a letter made
public here the retiring chaplain states
that the work of a prison chaplain is
futile SO long as prison administra-
ton is inherited with political control.
He declares that the policies of the
institution block his work at every

South Dakota will have a new ma

That a serious seed shortage exists
in North and South Dakota, Montana
and Wisconsin is the opinion of a
number Of farmers from northwestern
states who met in Aberdeen last week
to discuss the situation. The short
age of corn and oats in the northwest
for seeding was declared to be ex-
tremely acute. Many farmers, it was
said, r having difficulty in securing
enough oats to plant their fields. The
situation in Montana and North Da-
kota was said to be more serious than
in the other northwest states. One
farmer declared that owing to the
poor quality Of this years crop a ma
jority of the farmers would be forced
to feed their corn to live stock before
the winter is over, to save it from
spelling. The corn in many parts OF
the northwest this year is said to be
watersoaked and soft.

on Broadway we were fortunate
enough to find a real friend. one of
the boys from the navy showed us
around. lie took US up Wall street.
This has Broadway beat for buildings,
Saw the Times, MuniciPle, Flatiron,
Woolworth and many other large
buildings. The Woolworth building is
the talleSt in the world. If | should
describe this building it would make
a book. SO | won't try. We went to
the top and here we could see the
city, the Statue of Liberty, the Brook
Ign Bridge and in fact everything M
would wish to see. We spent some
time up here, We sure got our
moneys worth here. 1t cost us soc
each.
We went to Battery Place from
again. Went through the Aquarium
and will say it was great. All kinds
of fish, turtles, alllgators, etc. also
a large sea lion. II was noon when
we left and taking in the harbor sights
we went to dinner. After dinner we
went out to Central Park. This is
a magnificent place. While here we
saw a German submarine which has
been captured by u. s. A. Hurrahi
People by the thousands were waiting
to go through this boat, but nothing
is too good for a soldier in N. Y, so
they held up the line to let us go
through. This was free for us but
civilians had to pay admission. 1t
showed how the Germans tried to de
stroy this sub. so the u. S. could not
get it, but were unsuccessful. | think
that if the German soldiers knew that
they were fighting all these countries
they would turn traitors. We spent
some time here, but as we were quite
tired we decided to go back to Min
nicola, l.. |. We took the surface car
over the Brooklyn Bridge and after
riding for about As minutes we found
ourselves in MinneoIa.
We spent some time in this city
and at IL o'clock we were back to
Camp Mills. Here everything is the
same as usual. Aeroplanes and more
aeroplanes-soldiers and more sol
diers-camps and more camps. This
camp is not as well equipped as the
former camp (Greene). like this
camp pretty well and the climate and
surroundings seem to agree with me
all right. Today we were arranged
in artillery squads and our captain
put Carl and | in the same squad SO
we are now sleeping together. There
are six horses to each cassion and
drive the lead team and Carl drives

make good as | feel sure we will. Can

Proving Multiplication.

The following method, which is
taught In nearly all English elemen-
tary schools In India. Is the quickest
way Of proving multiplication. and IT
will be found hat 1t is absolutely COR
rect in every case.
Example-Multiply S4,6S9 by 5,214=
AL S,446. Add all the digits Of the
multiplicand till n digit is obtained,
thus: 50 t6+S+9+35@+5 Do
likewise with the multiplier, thus: 81
2+1t4=12=1+23. Multiply the
two results and add the digits till one
digit Is obtained: SX3@24@ +4=6.
Lastly, add the digits Of the product till
one digit Is obtained, thus: 4+4+1+5
+G4+S+4t4+G@42A +2=6, and If
the result agrees with the result OBJ
tanned by adding the digits Of the pre-
ceding sums the product is correct.
We get g In both cases. Hence the
product Is cOrrect.-Machinery.

A friend writes the Register from
Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas, as
follows:
The biggest thing hat has trans
pircd here within the last week, and
in fact, the biggest thing that has
ever transpired for the benefit of the
members of Uncle Sans army was
the nnouncement by the government
of the plan for soldiers insurance.
Captain Michael Blenski, formerly
Judge Blenski of Milwaukee, made
the presentation before the gathering
of officers and also in the Y. NJ. c.. A.
buildings of the various sections. AS
the features of the law are doubtless
familiar to the readers of the this pa
per, it viii be needless ~ so into de
tail here. There will be very few
soldiers who will o take out insur-
ance under this plan. Many of them
will take five or ten thousand dollars,
which they can easily carry with their
present pay. The beneHCiaries Of
these policies will be better enabled
to bear the misfortunCs incident to
the war knowing that provision has
been made for them.
The drilling here continues on the
strenuous order. Tho weather SO far
has not interfered with the work.
Preparations are now under way to
give each organization practice on the
rifle ranges. The theory that the hat
lets that hit are the only ones that
count is the one on which every army
operates. The squads east" Squads

~regimental evolutions are carried on

command without thinking about il.

ing how to shoot. Every man in the
army will take this rifle practice.
The artillery will also be engaged in
range practice. The bayonet and
trench drills are going on every day.
as well as the specialized drills and
schools. These schools continue from
morning until night, Instruction on
the use of gas and measures to meet
gas attacks is now being given. There
are also schools on the use of hand
grenades and trench mortars. The
machine gun battaiions are also at
work.
The winter quarters of the men and
officers are now built and no man in
the army need suffer from the cold or
the wet weather, if wet weather ever
comes in this part of Texas. These
quarters are made by boarding up
the inside of the tents to a height of
four or five feet. Each tent has a
stove in the center. The eight men
who inhabit each tent can live in COM
fort. The tents are electric lighted.
SO far as equipment goes this is a
war de luxe. The government is spar
ing no pains to keep the men that
are going out to battle for the honor
of the nation in good health and ocm-

ing issued.

MERCHANT SHIPS
TAKEN OVER BY
SHIPPING BOARD

WASHINGTON, D, c., August A.
The emergency fleet corporation today
requisitioned all merchant vessels of
more than $500 tons now building in
American ship yards. Double and tri-
pie labor shifts will be put in the
yards to speed construction.
There are building in the country's
yards about 700 ships totalling more
than 100000 in tonnage, most of it
contracted for by foreign firms. The
American vessels will be
retained by the shipping board for
operation, while final disposition of
the foreign craft will be left to nego-
tiations between the United States
ard the governments concerned.
No announcement was made as to
the amount of tonnage taken over, but
the shipping boards records show
that about ZOO vessels or nearly 2,000,
900 tons of all classes are building
AS fast as the yards are cleared of
their present construction they will be
put to work on the great feet the gov
ernment will build. The yards were or
dered to enter into no more contracts
o. commitments for private construc-
tion and to begin no new work on
contracts already made without first
obtaining permission of the feet
corporation.
Compensation for the construction
seized will be determined later. Much
O. the tonnage building is for British
and Norwegian account. It's final dis
position will be left to negotiations
with the governments concerned, al
though the president has the power to
retain it if the tonnage is needed by the
United States The British governs
ment, it is understood, is willing to re-
linquish to this country all its tonnage
building here. The American ships re-
