The Yale Record prints the follow
ing rules of etiquette:
''Bear in mind that at meals the
knife and fork are generally used,
a spoon being sometimes permissible
when a fork would leak-that the
arm sleeve should never assume the
duties of a napkin-that when eating
soup no noise should be made by the
lips, mouth, or feet-that potato
peels, bones, corn-cobs, etc., must
not be thrown under the table, but
carefully concealed in the pocket
that soaking up the gravy from the
dish is a habit of the ill-bred; further
that one should never attempt to
blow on the broth when water is the
beverage. and last and most import
ant-if thru before the host is served
be sure and wait a moment before
asking for more"

Will Establish Street Grade

George Sawyer Of Spokane, a city
improvement engineer, met with
the village council Tuesday night to
discuss the possibility of installing
a sewer system in Kendrick. The
matter of establishing a street
grade was brought up. The coun-
Gil decided that while sewer sys-
tenn was badly needed in Kendrick,
it would not attempt to put it up
to the voters at this time but would
keep the matter in mind and start
the improvement a year from this
spring if possible.
The street grade should by all
means be established and the coun-
Gil is endeavoring to secure the SER
vices Of an engineer at the earliest
possible date so those who put in
cement walks this spring and sum
mer will have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they are on the prop.
er grade and will not have to have
their walks torn up again.

School Notes

Edna James has withdrawn from
the seventh grade on account of
sickness.
The final examinations will be
given next week in the high school,
beginning Tuesday. The examina-
tions will determine the success of
the year for many pupils. A paper
of high rank may save some the
embarrassment of failure in a SUBJ
ject.
We are pleased to hear of the
Senior class play at Troy High
School to be given this evening
Good wishes to our neighbors.
During the past two years the
Honor System has been in use in
the Fifth and Sixth grades and we
feel that results have been very
satisfactory.
"This System exempts from final
examination all students who have
no monthly grade below ninety, in
cluding department, and a tota
average of ninety-fve. 1t not only
gives the pupil something definite
to work for but develops him into {
stronger student.
"Those who have received honor
grades during the entire schoo
year are:
Sixth Grade-Annie Barger, Beulal
Long, Edith Dammarell, Charlie
Hill. Fern Florance, Gwendolel
Moser and Jean Grice.
Fifth Grade-Audrey Stanton.

Five Cent Potatoes

Clearwater county potatoes, a
sack of them. sold in Orofino for
more than a nickel apiece this week.
Think of that, and the grower, E.
c. Chase of Ahsahka, four miles be-
low Orofino, brought them in.
Here is the story. Saturday Mr..
Chase drove in with a sack of his
extra fancy Melted Gem potatoes,
the kind the Northern Pacific adver-
tises so generally, and sold them to
the Orofino Mercantile Company
for A cents a pound. The sack
weighed 1875 pounds, making it
worth SIS, and by actual count con-
tained but 80 potatoes. Mr.. Chase
grew this variety for the first time
last season. and had very good sue
cess. His daughter, Miss Nellie,
a member of state club, planted a
patch of the same variety and
carried off first prize last fall in the
state contest, competing against the
famous south Idaho potato district.

Save Your Bottles

Home canning specialists urge
every housekeeper to save bottles
wide-necked ones-for
putting up fruits, preserves, jellies.
jams, and fruit juices. Saving of
bottles is highly important, they
say, as there threatens to be a SER
ious shortage of regular jars and
preserving cans this season.
The fruit products named. if
sealed with corks and paraffin, can
be kept perfectly in these make.
shift containers. Jellies, jams, and
preserves can be kept even in ordi.
nary drinking glasses, by the use OF
paper and paraffin. Fruit juices
should be packed in ordinary small
necked bottles.
Vegetables, soups, and meats, or
the other hand, to keep must be
sealed by the usual fruit-jar or tin
can packing methods. Reserve
regular containers for foods that
can not be packed in bottles.

Commanders all Tin

American consumers will have to
deny themselves canned beans and
canned soups for time. The war
can committee, comprising the tin
can makers, can manufacturers,
Gamers and government officials,
announced that a shortage of tin
makes it imperative that cans be
supplied only to packers Of perish
able foods.
The order will be effective for
60 days or perhaps longer and will
be put uto operation over the Wig
orous protest of the bean and soup
packers who declare it means ruin.
All cans made in this country for
the present will go to Gamers of
fruits and vegetables and to Canad-
ian Gamers of soups and beans for
troops at the front. Soldiers in
France, it is held must use canned
products because of lack of cook
ing facilities.
| No cans hereafter will go to
packers of products who can substi.
tute paper or other containers. Nc
tin will go to packers of a hundred
different kinds of toilet articles and
many other commodities.

loyalty and patriotism last Friday
afternoon when large crowd as
sembled at the town park to witness
the flag raising and take part in
the patriotic demonstrations. The
band, the Red Cross, Boys Brigade,

chosen to make short address.
His speech was to the point and oc-
casioned much applause.
The male quartet composed of
Best, Walker, Emmel and Mcdowell
sang patriotic selection that was
we'll received. A patriotic reading
by Sam Callison brought forth
hearty applause. During the rails
ing Of the flag the crowd sang The

America First

1t now becomes every American
girl or woman to take an inventory
of her self to see what abilities
have been given her. and to what
service she can consecrate those
abilities for the benefit of her native
or adopted country.
Wherever there dwells a normal
woman within the confines of the
land we love, from that spot in this
wonderful nation of ours will come
the cry for her part to do and the
willingness to do it, each according
to her ability, with all personal in
terests put aside. The American
woman will rise as single unit to
the call for America First.
The Red Cross Society in Kend-
rick needs your help and needs it
now. Help US by paying your doll
ar. and giving one afternoon a
week.
The Dining Room of the Frater-
nal Temple has been kindly given
US to use for this work. We will
be glad to see you any or all OF
the following afternoons: Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Living in a land of plenty we do
not realize how soon we are to be
cut off from the things we have
been used to and may want most.
Let US face the facts now and edo
our part.
A proper prayer:
Protect Us by Thy Might Great
God Our King.

Barnum Rents Atwater

George Barnum has rented At
water Lake for the summer and ex-
poets to take up his residence there
n the near future. He has been
in business for eleven years and will
make his sojourn at the lake in the
nature of summer outing as we'll
as business venture. His plans
as outlined to the Gazette reporter
show that careful consideration has
been given to the one idea of reduc-
ing all onerous responsibilities to
the minimum. For instance, in Sc
lecting COW. he choose one with
young calf. thus eliminating the
necessity of hunting thru the woods
for her every evening, for the cow
will come home of her own volition.
A small flock of ducks are
also to be included in the animal
husbandry department = another
stroke of genius, for the lake is full
of polliwogs and the ducks can sup
port themselves. About an acre Of
fine garden ground, close to the
lake shore, is to be planted princi-
pally to war potatoes.
We would like to suggest to Mr..
Barnum one little item that he has
probably overlooked, which, if put
into effect, might prove valuable
asset to the business end Of his ven-
ture. Two or three stands of bees
would lend an air of industry to
the place that could probably not
be attained to the same degree in
any other manner, with like
amount Of effort expended. The
lake is full of water lilies which
ought to produce very refined
grade of honey. "Atwater Lily
Honey" has rather a southern mel
ody sound but would no doubt prove
a popular brand on the market.
Mr.. Barnum has outlined some
extensive improvements, which if
carried out, will make the lake an
even more popular place than ever
before. His plans include the MAX
ing of a trail around the lake shore |;
ball ground and a number of
frames with floors for tents. He
has already outlined a plan for a
big Fourth of July celebration at
the lake, providing Kendrick de-
cides not to hold celebration.
The lake is a beautiful spot to spend
the day during the summer and a
Fourth of July celebration there
would prove popular. There is an
automobile road to the lake which
will be kept in good condition for
travel.

The feelings of the aged, even
those of royal blood, are not held
in reverence by the rising genera
tion. Barney" Oldfield purchased
1908 Cadillac some time ago and
this week stripped it of its running
gear. substituting the wheels and
other paraphernalia of Ford trac-
tor. The idea of a kingly Cadillac,
dressed up in the accouterments of
a Ford tractor, having to spend its
last days pulling a plow, is sad in
deed.

An Ounce Of Wasted Meat

An ounce of edible meat-lean
meat, fat and lean, suet or fat
trimmed from steak, chop or roast
seems hardly worth saving. MANY
households take just this view of
the matter-do not trouble to put
such an insignificant scrap into the
ice box or soup pot-do not bother
to save for cookery spoonful or
two Of drippings or tiny bit of
suet or fat. Yet if every one of
our 2O,OOO,O0O American families
on the average wastes each day only
one ounce of edible meat or fat, it
means daily waste of 1880, 900
pounds of animal food-456, 200, 900
pounds of valuable animal food
year. At average dressed weights,
it would take the gross weight of
over $4,000 steers, or over
100000 hogs-bones and ALTO
provide this weight or meat or fat
for each garage pail or kitchen sink.
If the bones and butchers waste
are eliminated. these figures would
be increased to 1,150,000 cattle and
100000 hogs. Or. again, if the
waste were distributed according
to the per capital consumption of
the various meats Excluding
bones), it would use up combined
herd of over $4,000 beef animals,
291 900 calves, over 625, 900 sheep
and lambs, and over 2,132, 900
hogs. Millions of tons of feed and
hay, the grass from vast pastures
and the labor of armies of cattle
men and butchers also would be
scrapped by this meat-waste route.
But-every household doesn't waste
an ounce of meat or fat every day?
Very well-make it one out of a
hundred families but keep in mind
that all meat allowed to spoil and
all meat and fat rendered inedible
by improper cooking, scorching or
burning must be counted as waste.
Make it an ounce every other day
or one a month. Such waste still
would be uncomfortable, when meat
is scarce and when fat is of such
vital food Importance to many
nations. Waste of meat or fat is
inexcusable. Every bit of lean
meat can be used in soups, stews
or in combination with cereals
every spoonful Of fat can be en-
ployed in cookery; every bit OF
drippings and gravy can be savec
so easily and used to add flavor anc
nourishment to other dishes. The
u. S. Department of Agriculture
Washington, D. C. or your State
Agricultural College will tell yor
how to use bits of meat to max,
appetizing and nutritious dishes
and how to use leftover fat il
cookery.
