MANY a Mickle Makes a Muckle"

MANY Mickle Makes Muche
A little slice of bread il small thing to write
an editorial shout. But many little slices Of
bread give food for the body and food for thought
= the Department Of Agriculture proves in .
dissertation which one Of its experts has written
1sr the bsnefit Of the American people.
Some Of the thoughts Of this article are re-
produced.
One good-sized slice Of bread weighs an ounce.
Il contains almost ree-fourths Of an ounce Of
flour.
There are 10000, 900 homes in the United
States If every home wastes one slice Of bread,
the country is throwing away 14,o00, 900 ounces
Of flour--nsues than S75 900 pounds or enough
flour for more than one million one pound loaves
/ u bread.
Waste at this rate for full year would
iamouut to SO 900 900 pounds Of flour-1, 900
lharrels Of hom--enough to make 365, 100000
leaves.
It takes four and one-half bushels Of wheat
TO make . barrel Of flour. This waste represents
the flour from more than 100000 bushels Of
wheat.
Fourteen and nine-tenths bushels Of wheat
on the average are raised per acre.
It would take the crop Of about 100000 acres
to provide the flour for single slice Of bread
wasted daily in every American home.
What does the sermonette Of the Department
Of Agriculture mean to you?

Cows Milk and Casein,

1t has been proved that casein, which
forms over per cent Of the total
weight of cows milk, is an important
commercial product and may be profit
ably employed in the manufacture Of
glue, combs, buttons, inoleum, hair
pins, toys, paints and even shoe polish.
In the preparation of casein for COM
mercial purposes about 700 gallons of
skimmilk are put into great vat and
heated to about 1876 degrees f. Then
very dilute sulphuric acid is added to
precipitate the casein Or curd. The
whey is drawn off, and the curd is
drained and cut into chunks, after
which streams Of cold water. are play
ed on it to wash out the acid The curd
is then dried with rotary fans and
ground into powder, In which form it is
placed on the market. One hundred
pounds of skimmilk will yield about
three and one-half pounds Of casein
powder.-Popular Science Monthly.

To Investigate Marketing

The present legislature has provid
ed for a committee to investigate
and examine into the systems of
marketing, standardizing and brand
ing farm produce and products; to
make study of the various cooper
ative enterprises; to submit possible
plans for aiding and developing agri-
culture; to investigate land and Gre
dit systems; to make, SO far as may
be necessary to carry out the pur-
pose of this investigation. practical
experiments in auditing and account
ing; and to investigate any and all
matters relating to the protection of
farmers against discrimination n
the buying and selling of goods,
etc."
The bill was introduced in the
Senate, as joint resolution by Sena-
tor Geo. B. Skogmo, and Mr.. Skog-
mo was appointed chairman of the

Value of Thunderstorns.

"Thunderstorms," says Professor
Ward In Science, 'bring us much that
Is of benefit. To them we owe much, In
parts of our country even most Of our
spring and summer rainfall. Without
these benef1cent thunderstorms our
great staple crops east Of the Rocky
mountains would never reach matur-
tty. One good thunderstorm over a con
siderable area at critical crop stage
is worth hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to American farmers. Our stock
markets time and again show the IA
vorable reaction Of such conditions
upon the price Of cereals and also of
railroad and other stocks. Thunder
showers break our summer droughts,
cleanse our dusty air, refresh our
parched earth, replenish our failing
streams and brooks, bring us cool even
ings and nights after sultry and op-
pressive days."

Interstate League

In exact reverse to the leagues
first opening May 6, when the Mimi
esota teams won, last Sunday, COM
mencing the new schedule for the
final half, all of the Wisconsin teams
were victorious.
Hudson's sluggers made Keinholtz
look like a second sub. at Saltwater,
pounding his heretofore invincible
delivery to all corners of the lot and
scoring 8 runs in 5 innings, while
Frosty Bertsch held the Prison City
outfit scoreless. The game had to
be called at the close of the fifth on
account of rain.
The Cars batt!ed for II innings at
New Richmond, Reese scoring the
winning run for the home team in
the twelfth. Although the visitors
out-hit New Richmond team 9 to 5,
Michaud's wildness lost them the
game.
The rain stopped the game at Els
worth Sunday, but not until after
the fifth inning, so that her lead at
that time gives Ellsworth the hon
ors and counts in the pennant race.
Ellsworth took 4=run lead at the
start, but the Shermans came with
in one Of tieing it up when the game
was called.
Next Sunday Saltwater plays at
New Richmond, the Cars at Ellis
worth and the Shermans at Hudson.

Avoiding Brain Storms

One of the first effects Of war is a
rapid shifting of values. Much that
has been gradually instilled into
our minds and habits through the
slow processes of civilization we are
called upon to abandon on a mo-
ment's notice. The young mans
fighting instincts, for exa mp e,
which were restrained by the strong
arm of the law are, on the outbreak
of war, rekindled by every device.
Along with the necessary aban.
donment of ordinarily praiseworthy
characteristics there 60 some other
ideals and interests which there is
no need to abandon. Indeed, some
of these things are absolutely neces-
sary to the maintenance of life and
sanitary during war times. Among
these are physical play and recrea
ton.
If there is eyer a time when pee
pie need to play to keep healthy boz
dies and minds it is during such
times of stress as war brings. And
yet sensitive people feel sneaking
sense of shame over their desire
and necessity for play. 1t seems
comparable to smiles at funeral.
In some splendid war pictures re-
Gently exhibited in Milwaukee,
was struck especially by the play
fulness of the British soldiers. 1t
has been said that nothing but act
ual fighting will keep these ire
pressible Tommies m football
and other sports. Somebody has said
that the Allies will win largely be-
cause the Anglo-Saxon is a lover of
outdoor sports and that in the Ions
run the sportsmen will win.
War is depressing business and
an increased amount of insanity
will doubtless result from it, not
alone among the soldiers themsel-
yes but among others with sensi-
tive nervous systems. If this be so,
it is but common sense for people
to keep their balance as completely
as possible. And it is a scientific
fact that clean, wholesome play is
one of the best mental balance pro-
ducers.

The people of River Falls deeply
regret the resignation of President
]. w. Crabtree from the local nor
NAL school, though everyone is glad
to know that his remarkable talent
is given recognition in field Of wild
er scope and larger opportunities.
Mr.. Crabtree has brought this school
into national prominence in the few
years Of his administration, and 1t
is a stable growth founded upon
sound principles and developed by
hard work, under the direction OF a
broad. masterful mind. In his letter
to the people Of River Falls, publish
ed in another column of this paper,
he bespeaks appreciation Of the CO.
operation Of our citizens. The clti-
zens have found cooperation with
Mr.. Crabtree not task, but plea
sure, and all feel that it is honor and
a privilege to have known and asso-
ciated with such man. The school
will be imbued with Mr.. Crabtree's
personality to the insurance Of its
continual growth, and with the adj
ded assurance of his undying inter-
est in its welfare no concern need be
felt for its future prosperity. His
interest in this school and communi-
ty is heartily and sincerely recipro-
Gated and will cont inue to be
throughout the years that come.

The remarkable value of this training
for the children of the poor was soon
recognized, and mission kindergartens
became numerous. Then the more
progressive cities and towns tried them
experimentally in their public schools.
That their worth has been abundantly
proved is clearly shown by the spread

FOODS THAT ARE
CHEAPER THAN POTATOES

The potato is one of the most i'm
portant food products. 1t is a vege-
table thus furnishing certain things
that the body needs in addition to it's
food value as determined by chemical
analysis. At the present price of po-
.tatoes the nutrients that it contains
are more expensive than in many 9TH
er foods. For instance, when potatoes
are $2.4O a bushel, cornmeal will fur
nish the nutrients as cheaply at 21k
cents a pound. If cornmeal is 5 cents
a pound it will furnish the nutrients
at less than n as much as potatoes, or
if cornmeal is 5 cents a pound pota-
toes would have to sell for IS cents
a bushel to furnish the food nutrients
as cheaply. With potatoes at $2.4O
the following foods furnish the food
nutrients as cheaply at the prices CIV

rice at 21k cents, wheat flour at 21%
cents, white bread at 16 cents. AS
these foods all sell for considerably
