HOW TO MAKE
ICELESS REFRIGERATOR

WASHINGTON, May T.-Refrigera-
tors can be made to do their part in
conserving food this summer. Pre-
serving milk. butter. and other sup
plies and keeping iefi overs and un-
used portions until they are needed
will be their service. If ice is not OBJ
tainable. an iceless refrigerator, cool
ed by evaporation, can be obtainabIe.
an iceless refrigerator. cooled by eva
poration, can be easily constructed.
Women demonstrators in extension
work, south, of the L. S. department
OF agriculture. tell how to make such
a cooler At q small cost.
This refrigerator consists OF n
wooden frame covered with Canton
flannel. burlap or heavy duck. 1t is
desirable hat the frame be screened,
although this is o necessary. Wicks.
made OF the same material as the COW
ering. resting in a pan of water on
top of the cooler, conduct the water
over the sides and ends OF the pan and
allow II 10 seep down the sides of the
box. The evaporation from this mois-
tened covering cause n lower temper
allure inside. On dry. hot days q tenn
perature of 80 degrees has been
known to he obtained in the cooler.
This is the way 10 build it:
Make a screen case three and one.
half feet high with the other dimen.
sions II by Is inches. If a solid top
is used, simply place the water pan
on this. Otherwise fit the pan closely
into the opening of the top frame and
support il by Inch clcatS fastened to
the inside of the frame. Place two
movable shelves in the frame, IL to
10. inches apart. Use a biscuit pan
IL by II inches on the top to hold
the water, and where the refrigerator
is to be used indoors have the whole
thing standing in a large pan to catch
any drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed TO dry, and
then enameled. A covering of white
Canton flannel should be made to fit
the frame. Have the smooth side
out and button the covering on the
frame with buggy or automobile cur
tain hook and eyes, arranged so that
the door may be opened without I'M
fastening these hooks. This can cas-.
lily be done by putting one row of
hooks on the edge of the door near
the latch and the other just opposite
the opening with the hem on each
side extended far enough I 0 cover the
crack at the edge of the door, so as
TO keep out the warm, outside air and
retain the cooled air. This dress or
covering will have to be hooked
around the top edge also. Two dou.
bic stripes one.haIf the width OF each
side should be sewed on the TOP of
each side covering, and allowed to OK.
tend over about two and one.haIf or
three inches in the pan Of water. The
bottom of the covering should extend
into the lower pan.
Place the refrigerator in a shady
place where air will circulate around
it freely. If buttons and buttonholcs
are used on the Canton flannel instead
OF buggy hooks, the cost will be re.

AWAKE, AMERICAN ARISE

America, thy freedom bought
With the blood Of patriots slain;
Thy sons will fight as our brothers
fought.
And this precious gift maintain.
We will not yield this gift SO dear.
Nor temporize III vain,
Like craven towards in deadly fear
or wars travail and pain.
On Brandywine and Gettysburg,
Ger Montezuma's hills,
In Spanish Isles and Orient
Old Glory waved its thrills
To the heroes who have always been
Where our country needs them most.
For with cleaning sword and brilliant
pen
They led loyal host.
They died that We might live
In Spanish Isles and Orient
They gave us united and happy homes
For the mothers who gave lis birth.
Would ye preserve this honored
fame?
A great and peaceful nation?
Ye must prepare to give or dare,
Tho high or low your station.
Then awake. Americans, Arise!
Defend our civilization!
Follow the flag that from the skies
Proclaims a fearless nation.

connected with the trial had to be
conducted through an underground
passageway in order to reach the
trial chamber.
Most of those who gained admis-
sion were women.
Accompanied by her mother, Mrs.

her way to the United states chaper-
oned by an English woman, accord
ing to information made public here
last night by persons connected with
the Russian civilian relief.
The former grand duchess. who is
20 years old, made her escape from
Tobolsk, the present home of the ex-
lied emperor, 70 Harbin, in Man
churia, and thence to Japan where
passage was taken on q steamship
for the Pacific coast.
The New York officers Of the Rus
sian civilian relief, including Daniel
Frohman, Ivan Narodny and DIR.

formed that the young woman will
arrive in New York some time in

SUMMARY OF WAR

British troops have captured the
high ground in Bourbon wood and
now dominate the region about Cam
brai. This success came after. two
days Of the most vicious fighting
part by the fact that German traffic
southeast from Cambrai has been
heavy, the probability being that the
civil population Of the town has bean
removed.

Field Marshal Haia declares that
the capture Of the Bourbon position
"erowns a most successful operation

Marshal Haia refers IN his

MARKEDLY TORCH
GANG, ISGUARDED

Bowman. N. D., Nov. 26.-The
Bowman village council and the fire
department met last night at the city
hall to take precautionary measures
against any incendiary confiagration
such as has been experienced at
Lennon, S. D., and Mott, N. D.,
along the Milwaukee line.
On inspecting the fire hose they
found that IL had been purposely cut
and spiked with a nail in many
places, rendering 1t absolutely USE
less in case of need.
With such information they pro-
ceeded to place an armed guard
along the railroad track, and another
in the business district, and every
stranger will be arrested after b.
m. and held until morning.
The elevator companies have also
established guards.
