CONSERVE YOUR FOOD

Washington, June 22.-Secretary Houston today appealed to American housewives to assist the national food conservation movement by preserving perishable fruits and vegetables. Pointing out that the ordinary har- vest yield will be greatly increased this year by the "back yard garden ing campaign, MT. Houston declared that not to conserve this valuable food surplus would be a sinful waste"

There are a number of New Britain boys in these cavalry organizations. It is stated by the officers in Hart ford however. that until ofacial ad- vices are received from washinkton all contemplated plans to retain their mounts will continue. Inasmuch as dispatches do not state that all cavalry units are to be dismounted it is hoped that the Connecticut boys will not be affected.

leaders and assistants will be elected for six months. The Business Mems association will take tho whole troop I'D to Bantam lake on July II. There are, however. some restrictions made by the scoutmaster. Every Scout must pass Q test and not miss a. meeting if he does he must have very good excuse. Saturdays sched- ule is the same as last Saturday.
 At a meeting of the Scoutmasters held in the Y. M. c. A. Thursday evening several matters of impor- tance were brought to the attention of those present. One important subject was that of having any boy. who wishes to become a Scout. join tho troop that is in the church of which he Is a member. This would not have any effect on boys that are members of the Y. M. O. A. or Boys club as they could join the troop that was in the organization or their church troop as they choose. This matter was tabled for two weeks to give the Scoutmasters time to think it over and decide something definite for the next meeting. The Scout Executive is working out plan whereby the city will be divided into four districts with Deputy Scout Commissioner over each district Then when we wish to mobilize the Scouts as we did short time ago the executive would call the four deputy commissioners and they In in their district. The Scout gardens are all coming along fine and 1t looks as though the judges would have a &o ,fo1r iny nf tho prizes. There will be an assistant in the Scout office during the months of July and August so that the execu- tive will be able to be at the gardens every day to supervise the work.
 Troop 2.-At o'clock the regular meeting was called at which vafious business matters were discussed. The meeting is the last of the season. The question of camping has not yet been settled, but Miss Fox will let our troop scribe know as soon as she receives word from place that she has inquired about. The scribe will then get in touch with all the. girls. Some week in August was voted upon as the probable time for camping. Dorothy Elcock was left in charge of the neckerchiefs for the summer. Miss Fox asks that the girls in our troop who still have Red Cross arr ticles at home in the name of the Center church scouts, to return them to the Red Cross rooms on Court street. After supper many of the girls remained until o'clock to help with the Red Cross work carried on by the Sunday school. We hope that as many girls as can will attend these gatherings.
 Troop 4.-At the meeting Monday night, Troop of St. Marks planned to go on the Sunday school picnic to Compounce Thursday, June 2s. They will leave on the g o'clock trolley from the center There the Girl Scouts will have a ball game with the Boy Scouts of Troop 12 and will also compete in several races and games.

The Des Moines Register thinks that
in view of the fact that Secretary
Baker has advised against universal
military training that ought to settle
the matter and little should be heard
in favor of such policy. Well, Secre-
tary Baker and the entire -administra-
ton, with the Register boosting on the
side, was against preparedness, and
look what that opposition is costing us
now. Secretary Bakers opinion about
the necessity of universal military
training is no better than. that of any
other man of equal intelligence. He
has been wrong in many, things in the
past and may be wrong now. The red
blooded people of this country who be-
live in the principle of universal mill
ftary training and think that policy the
only one that will preserve our peace
and perpetuity in the future are not
going to be silenced by few lines in
opposition from Secretary Baker, or
anybody else. The youths of the coun-
try should have the advantage of such
training. 1t is worth all it will cost
the nation, no matter whether we ever
have another war or not.

For County Auditor.

R. p Smock of this city is consider
ing the matter of becoming candi-
date for county auditor, subject to the
decision of the republicans OF the
county at the June primaries. He has
not yet definitely decided to enter the
contest, but has the question under
advisement
Mr.. Smock is a man who stands
high among his acquaintance and
there is no question of his capacity to
properly conduct the Office and keep it
upon the high plane of excellence
achieved by a long line of auditors.
Mr.. Smock served for time as deputy
auditor under County Auditor Slower
and County Auditor Peterson. For
number of years he was employed in
the Mercantile store, was city clerk
for a time and is now bookkeeper for
the National Sewer Pipe & Tile Com
pany. He is popular and obliging and
numbers his friends only by the limi-
tations of his acquaintance. If he de-
cides to become candidate he will
prove a formidable contestant for
votes and if elected will fill the posi-
ton with credit to himself and to the
satisfaction of the people generally.

be handled, hence in order to maintain
the prices that should be maintained,
shippers must hold for short period.
Mr.. Cotton has issued the following
statement:
On November l stated that the
prices of hogs SO far ASH this division
could affect them, would not fall be-
low about $3.50 per hundredweight
for the average of the packers droves
in Chicago market until further no.
tice. That statement l make again.
"The packers inform me they are
doing their best to aid us in that
policy; but largely owing to transpor-
tation difficulties in the east, there is
now glut of hogs on the Chicago
market, and more hogs than the pack
ers can kill and handle.
"The farmers and commission men
in this territory must help by holding
back hogs temporarily, especially from
the Chicago market. If there is CO.
operation, the minimum will be main
tanned. DO not sacrifice your hogs by
dumping them on an oyercrowded
market"

Grape Fruit on Sugar Cane.


Down in Arizona they are grating
grape fruit onto sugar cane with
startling and remarkable success. So
says E. H. Martin, now of Phoenix,
formerly of this city, who has been
here on business this week.
Mr.. Martin says the Arizona grow
ers are about to place fruit on the
market that will be vastly different
than all other grape fruit. Growers
near Phoenix have been experimenting
for years along the lines of further de-
velopment of the grape fruit, which IS
"cross" between lemon and an
orange. BY long experiment, says he,
growers have now been able to elimi-
nate the seeds, the thick rind and the
husk-like interior divisions of this pop
ular fruit. After accomplishing this
Transformation, they grated a grape
fruit branch on sugar cane and now
have a fruit which resembles grape
fruit only in looks.
The new fruit is sweet, tender,
juicy and thin skinned. Mr. Martin is
also authority for the statement that
an analysis of the new fruit shows that
it has one-third more food value than
grape fruit. He says that Arizona
growers have said little about their

SCHOOL CHILDREN WASTING.


Lake Mills Graphic: The editor
made visit to the school house re-
Gently and found that the waste from
the childrens dinner pals, in the
various rooms, NEARLY filled four
ordinary waste baskets; on Monday
the waste amounted to twenty
pounds of bread and butter, cake,
pie and other good wholesome food
that the pupils did not wish to carry
home with them in their buckets.
Superintendent Reinertson has taken
the matter in hand and made a Food
Conservation" talk in each room
Monday afternoon, which together
with the cooperation Of parents,
should remedy this wastefulness.
Parents should see that the dinner
bucket has plenty, but not too much,
and may we'll instruct the child to
bring home whatever is left over.
When thousands of people are starv-
ing in Europe, it don't set just right
with us to see this food waste.

SOLIDARITY on MOTHERS.

That the mothers of the country
must stand together and be a source
of strength to each other is the
statement made by Dr.. Kate Waller
Barrett of the Mothers Congress.
She insists that the American mother
must help the foreign born American
mother to understand the reasons
for the war. 'The foreign mother
cannot support her boy at the front,
unless she understands what he is
fighting for" says DR.. Barrett, Chair
man of the immigration Committee
of the National Council of Women.
"The foreign mother in America, I'M
able to understand English, has come
to this country to be at peace, and
she is left in a chaotic state when
her sons are drafted to fight for their
new country. She cannot read the
newspapers, or talk to American wo-
men, except through her children as
interpreters. As she cannot under
stand the reasons for this war, she
becomes rebellious, and her feeling
is communicated to her son in the
training camp" She must be edu-
Gated in the causes of the war.
DR.. Barrett urges American
mothers to feel solidarity with the
Americanized mother of other ma
lions. "The soldier is dependent
upon the feeling in his home for his
own attitude Of mind" She says
"The Mothers Congress is doing {
great work by holding meetings il
many cities, to explain war meas
ures, and develop the patriotism o.
the bewildered foreign women. W.
mothers must stand together"

Frank Gotch, perhaps the best man
Z who ever stood in the wrestling ring,
did much to elevate his professional
profession not exalted. Cotch was a
fair foe and was never accused of a
foul He was square in all his acts
upon the mat, honorable in business
and loyal TO friends But one blot
mars his reputation as q man, a blot
that cannot be wholly forgotten and
which has caused occasion for much
regret. However, Frank Gotch was
only human, and to err is human. On
the whole he was credit to his pro-
fession regardless of his one outstand-
ing indiscretion, and has left a record
of conquest in his chosen field that has
never been equaled and perhaps never
will be.

While the loyal people Of this coun-
try are not very familiar with general
political affairs in Canada they are
pleased at the results of the recent
e!e ction, in that CONSUMPTION won by
an overwhelming majority. Canada
has done we'll in the war and it is quite
evident that the red blooded people OF
1.-The Dominion-thank God-are willing
to make all sacrifices that may be re-
.quired to win. The troops Of Canada
; in the trenches of France have won
their spurs upon innumerable occa-
sions and have added lustre, to the
bravery and gallant record of all North
America. The United States ought to
be proud, and it is proud, to be fighting
shoulder to shoulder with such a peo-
pie in the cause of eternal justice and
right upon this earth. All hail to the
brave and noble Canadians, our worthy
allies and co-workers in the vineyard
for mankind.

The evidence is all one way and
Germany is convicted beyond the
peradventure of a doubt of starting
this war ana of carrying it on in the
most brutal manner of any war in
the history of the world. Former
Ambassador Gerard testifies to these
facts, as does former Ambassador
Whitlock. Cardinal Mercier, who
has gone through the terrors himself
adds the weight of his evidence.
Senator Kenyon, than whom no man
in Iowa has stronger grip upon
the condolences Of the people OF this
state, comes back from war-ridden
Europe with the same reports. They
each and every one declare openly
and above board, without equivoca-
ton or evasion, that the stories of
beastly conduct on the part of the
German soldiers, backed up by their
officers and their government, have
not been exaggerated. In fact they
could not be enlarged upon. The
latest witness to speak is the Hon.
Daniel. Stephens of Nebraska, who
was in Europe in the same party
with Senator Kenyon. Mr.. Stephens
delivered an address before the COM
mercial club at Sioux City few eve
nings ago and his arraignment of the
German government and the brutal
conduct of the German soldier was
bitter and pitiless. Practically every
crime known to the dark ages has
been practiced by the beastly Ger
mans and their government defends
them and prods them on to further
deeds of beastiality.
