The Sheaf acknowledges the receipt
Of the 1917 Year Book Of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace.
In Mr.. Carnegie's letter to the trustees,
dated December H. 1910, and printed
in the volume, he says: Gentlemen: /
have transferred to you as Trustees of
the Carnegie Peace Fund, Ten Million
Dollars of Five Per Cent First. Mort
gage Bonds, the revenue of which is to
be administered by you to hasten the
abolition of interna tional war, the
foulest blot upon our civilization. Al
tho we no longer eat our fellowmen,
nor torture prisoners, nor sack cities,
killing their inhabitants, we still kill
each other in war like barbarians
Only wild beasts are excusable for do
ing that in this Twentieth Century OF
the Christian era, for the crime of war
is inherent, since it decides not ia
favor of the right, but always of the
strong 1t surely is a pity. that Mr.
Carnegie's high ideals have been 81
ruthlessly shattered by the bloody
drama now being enacted by the most
civilized nations on earth. Is

Buckwheat Shortcake.

Ever hear Of buckwheat shortcake?
It's another way to save wheat need
ed in the war trenches of France
81 Most families are fond of buckwheat
griddle cakes for breakfast in winter.
And it is a poor cook who doesn't know
how to bake them.
But few housewives know that buck
wheat alone may be used in quick
bread that is mighty good, and will
take the place of biscuits or mullins.
Here's how to make it:
Sift two teaspoonfuls baking powder
with one cup buckwheat flour. Add
one teaspoonful salt and one cup milk.
beat to G smooth batter. Add one tea
spoonf &! melted fat, and mix. Pour
the mixture into a pan, having it about
one half inch thick. .g.5s
Bake % minutes in rather quick
oven. Cut into squares and serve hot.
This batter may be baked in muffin
pans.

Legitimate investments are made
safer under the new Minnesota Blue

on a promoter who promises 100 per
cent on an investment, unless he can
show the goods.
The State Securities Commission,
which was created to administer the
law studies every prospectus Of all in

before license is issued.
There are hundreds Of legitimate in.

the law was created. 4

Industrial plants, is rapidly converting
the enormous water power possessed
by numerous rivers, into electric power
which is being distributed to the cities,
villages and many of the farms of the
country, supplying light, heat and
power. Electric power stations, some
Of them the largest in Europe, have
been constructed, and when the rivers
are fully harnessed this white coal'
will supercede almost wholly the black
coal that must be imported. The adj
vantage Of this white coal' is that il
will not be exhausted and it is cheap.
Norway also is rapidly developing her
abundant water powers. In the course
Of time, when the coal fields Of the
world will have been depleted, these
countries will be the great Industrial
centers which, even now, they are as
ssuming. The United States must util-
ize its vast water power in order to
conserve it's coal and put off the evil
day when there will be no more coal
to mine.

The Failing Leaves.

Deep in the woods primeval, one bright
day in the fall,
I watched the leaves falling, down
from the trees so tall;
They singly fell, and then by twos, by
threes, and four and fives,
And then in bunches they would drop,
and make their earthward drives.
When loosened from their moorings,
where they in summer grew,
In glee while they futtered, then
down to earth they flew;
Often in their new found freedom, they
rollicked in their flight,
But soon upon earth were landed, these
air ships frail and light.
The mass Of leaves carpet, made for
my tired feet,
No Persian rug could ever, in coloring
compete,
There so beautifully blended, the Grim
son and the gold s

Fuel Shortage.

Up to recent years, the last thing the
people of the United States. thought
about was fuel shortage. The scien-
fists might figure that the coal mines
would be used up in 1000 year, but 1--WE
should worry 1t never occurred to
them that the shortage apd high price
Of labor would greatly increase the
cost Of mining coal, and that our sup
ply of fuel wood was rapidly being
depleted by the gross waste Of forest
resources
Today high cost fuel is threatening
the security of railroad dividends and
it greatly increases the cost of running
any plant needing power. The house
holder feels keenly the augmented
price Of coal and wood in his home
Recognizing these conditions, the gov
ernment is asking the public to con-
serve supplies of fuel in every way.
In Industrial plants various devices
are used to save coal, such as auto
matte stocking, more careful systems Of
feeding fire, etc. But the one great
means of saving fuel is to develop
water powers, and make our rivers
turn our wheels. The people who pro-
mote and bring to successful operation
water power company, are adding
permanent sources Of wealth that will
increase production indefinitely.
IT they plant and maintain forest
growth about the headwaters Of their
stream, they will maintain a regular
flow of that stream all the year around
or nearly SO, thus reducing the time
that auxiliary steam plants burning
coal have to be operated. .
It is too bad that so many millions
Of dollars are wasted in unfruitful
speculation, in wildcat mining and
plantation schemes, when IL they could
only be used in developing water
powers that are going to waste, they
would permanently economic our re-
sources and reduce the cost Of manu-
featuring. Power plants are recognized
today as one Of the safest forms Of in-
vestment People who send money
thousands Of miles from home should
inquire Il there are not available water
powers IN their own section that could
be developed. ..,.

THE PURPOSE OF DEMON
STRATION MEETINGS

The fact that in so many cases the
problems Of the individual farmer are
those of large groups simplifes the
method of dealing with problems The
case of one individual can be dealt with
under the observation of several oper-
ating similarly in the same locality !;
lit may, therefore, be made an object
|lesson7a demonstration. The gather
ing of a group Of interested persons to
observe methods, or results, is a de-
monstration meeting. Such group
demonstration serves the same purpose
as would separate demonstrat lion on
the farm OF each Of those witnessing
the group OF demOnstra tiOn. This
method must become the fundamental
basis Of farm bureau effort. Two rea-
sons are plainly evident therefore 1t
is impossible to reach every one in a
county or any great portion Of those
most interested by working with them
individually, and people most advan-
tageously cope with their common pro
blems IL cooperative effort.
One Of the greatest satisfactions Of
the farm bureau work for the year Is
the progress being made in conducting
demonstrations and demonstrate ation
meetings. a very successful series Of
orchard demonstration meetings, ex-
tending into every section Of each
county, is In progress in Hennepin and
Nicollet counties. Similar work Is be-
ing done in Renville, Ottertail, Dakota
and Jackson. In Pope county, partic-
ularly In the city Of Glenwood, many
|of the shade trees Of the parks have
been infested with the Cottony Maple
Scale. Here spraying demonstration
with kerosene emulsion have been held.
b There Is no end Of material for de-
monstration purposes. Nor Is there an
end to the possibil ilities Of teaching by
definite object lessons. 1t may be soil

SECRETARY McADOO GIVES VAL
LIABLE INFORMATION.

To the Officers and Enlisted Men and
Women of the Army and Navy of
the United States and their Rela-
tives:
Teh secretary of the Treasury,
through the Bureau OF War Risk In
surance, has been charged with the
administration of the War Insurance
Law enacted by the Congress as a
measure of justice to the men and
women who have been called to give
their lives, if need be, in the service
of their country.
wish to acquafnt you with the
benefits and privileges which your
Government has placed at your dis
posal. 1t is essential that you and
your famil es at home should know
of your and their rights under th;r
Jaw in order that full advantage may
be taken Of them.
To care for the wife and children
of the enlisted man during his ser
ivce, the War Insurance Law COM
pels him to contribute up to one
half of his pay Tor their support.
The Government, on applicat: on, will
generously add to this an allowance
of from IS to $50 a month, accord
ing to the size of the family. More
over, il the enlisted man will make
some further provision himself for
a dependent parent, brother, sister,
or grandchild, they may be included
in the Government allowance
II, as a result of injuries incurred
n tn hn tn <,S
duty, an officer or enlisted man or an
Army or Navy nurse should be dis
abled, provision is made for compen-
sation of from $50 to 500 a month
to him, and should he die, compen-
sation of from $40 to SIS a month
will be paid to his wife, his child, or
his widowed mother.
In order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, Congress has
made it possible for every solder,
sailor, and nurse to obtain life and
total-disabaity insurance. This in
surance applies to injuries received
while he or she is in the service or
after he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers OF
war makes the cost of life insurance
in private life insurance companies
prohibitive. 1t was, therefore, a
pain duty and obligation for the
Government to assume the risk OF in
surfing hundreds Of thousands of our
soldiers and sailors who are making
the supreme sacrifice. Under THO
law, every soldier and sailor and
nurse, commissioned ana enlisted,
and OF any age. mas the right, be-
tween now and February IL, 1918,
to take out Life and total-diasbility
insurance UP to $4,000 at very low
cost, with the Government without
medical examination. This right is
purely optional. The coolers and
sailors are not compelled to take in
surance. but if they desire to ex-
ercise the right, they must do so be-
fore the 18th of February, 1918.
The cost ranges from SIS cents
