Conductor Buckholz went east to
Egan al IL a. m. with his two
coaches of the west end train to
meet yesterdays mail train from the
east. where he relieved it of mail,

Postmaster Tobin went along as mail

Ivan Hubbell as baggageman. The
special was well manned and return
ed at 2 p. m.
G.. NJ. KlotZbach returned at 4 p.
m, yesterday from his first mail trip

Lake Preston Thursday night from
Bryant, leaving the former place
yesterday morning. The roads wore
in terrible condition from the melt

horses three times in crossing creeks.
He was thoroughly drenched when
he reached Madison. He did not re
turn today.
Surveyor Smythe. made a rough
computation yesterday of the water
flowing through the culvert of the
stone bridge. on fish run and esti-
mates that 100000 cubic feet per
hour was flowing through. This
would be about 50, 600. 600 cubic
feet per day and as Lake Madison
has an area of about 100000
square feet. this amount of water
rushing into the lake would raise II
6 % inches every "a hours. With
only this one stream at that rate II
would not take long to fill up the
lake bed.

In the efforts to keep out -of war with
Germany "A great many suggestions
have been made TO the administration
and to the senators who have remain
ed for the special session. Quite a
number of men have presented state
ments to the effect that Germany is
somcW hat Indifferent as to whether or
not the United States should enter the
war ON the side of the allies. II has
often been said that 1T will not make
much difference to Germany one way

take a long time for the United States
to become an effective opponent of
Germany. Even I'm the event of this

army.

Senator Warren of Wyoming is the
ranking Republican on four very I'M

long service in the senate. They are
appropriations, agriculture, military
affairs and public buildings. The first
three handle appropriation bills and
the latter the public building bill. by
reason of his position Warren Is a
conferee on all bills handled by these
committees, and 1t is in conference be
tween the two houses that legislation
is made.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania is

Why Germany Is Indifferent.
One of the senators who helped to
defeat the armed neutrality bill In the
Sixty-fourth congress has been inform
ed that one reason why Germany Is
Indifferent 20 any action which the
United States may take is on account
of the peculiar conditions of submarine
warfare. The danger for the subma
rine Is ut the moment that its periscope

OF ascertaining the position Of n ship
and also to ascertain its nationality
In case the United States enters upon
"A war with Germany the submarine
will not wait q moment to determine
the nationality or character of any
ship that Is atloat, but as soon as the
submarine can get the position of a
ship 1t will launch it's torpedo without
endangering itself.
For that reason it is said that Ger

campaign against shipping II she does

trails, which will be the case IL the

The Condition In England.
The same senator was informed that
England has less than thirty days food

are able to use their 300 new subma-
rines to such an extent as To sink YES
sells which are carrying food supplies
to England that ii will not he very long
before England will be in a serious con

1t must be remembered that all these
statements are Of pro-German view, and

PLANT POTATOES

Government officials, the press and
our public men, are urging the pro-
ducers of the country to sow more
grain. This is eminently proper under
existing conditions, but the Herald
desires to urge the farmers, and es-
pecially those residing in this vicin-
ity to raise more potatoes.
The area suitable for the growing
of potatoes profitably, is comparative
ly limited, but locally we have as
good potato soil as there is in the
country.
An acre planted to potatoes and
properly cultivated will produce a
greater amount of food than if plant
ed to any other grain or vegetable.
Taking a ten years. record of av-
erages in Minnesota an acre of pota-
toes has yielded three times as much
profit to the acre as any other crop.
We have good reason for stating
THAT a modern potato warehouse will
be erected in this city the coming year
so that our local market for tubers
will be better than ever.
Plant a large patch of spuds.

Ideas Are Dollars.

Some large business firms employ a
man whose sole duty it is to read ev-
cry trade journal. every technical pa
per or pamphlet and every magazine
in order to get new ideas about the
conduct of their business. Such infor-
nation is laid each day before the
heads of the various departments. who
in turn pass it down the line to men
under them and see that the new idea
is tested. By this means each worker
is kept in touch with what other men
are doing in his particular line. and so
his personal efficiency is increased. Al
most everything can be done in a man
ner q little better than the present
way. and modern business demands
to know and practice the best. Ideas
are dollars.

THE LEGISLATURE

The fortieth legislature, unless it
should be called together again in ex-
traordinary session by proclamation
of the governor, is thing of the past.
The members have returned to their
lhomes to be lauded individually and
damned collectively.
Owing largely to a certain class of
newspapers and magazines, the legis
lative branch Of the government, both
national and state, have fallen into
disrepute. Their convening has come
to be regarded almost as calamity
and their adjournment as an occasion
of rejoicing.
There was time when a member
of representative, legislative body
was looked upon with respect and hon
or, now that is thing of the past.
The best men in communities no long
er become candidates for Legislative
positions. They have come to be
looked upon as "jobs" rather than as
offices. They are sought after r, ore
as opportunities of spending p-sas-
ant winter in the cities, with expenses
paid, than as opportunities to serve
the people and the state. Formerly
candidates for these positions were
selected by the people, through their
representatives after conference as
to their ability, merit and fitness for
the position, how the candidates Sc
lect themselves and they rush madly
to and fro through the country in a
strenuous effort to wheedle, coax, bull
doze or purchase the people to ratify
their self-made choice. Formerly it
was possible for the office to seek the

UNGR0UND GRAIN BREAD.
IL Saves Labor and Waste and Gains
In Nutritive Value.

In Nutritive Value.
One reason advanced for the high
cost Of food abroad is the shortage in
manual labor, result of the war. An
ingenious method of dispensing with
large part of this, hitherto consider
ed necessary before the grain in the
field can appear in the form of bread
upon the table. has been invented In
Italy.
According to Agricoltura Toscana
an excellent bread. not only highly
nutritious, but delicious in flavor and
appetiZing of taste. is made from
wheat which has never been milled.
1t is important that the grain should
be Of good quality and free from for
eign material. 1t is first carefully
washed and sifted and then placed in
tepid water to soak for a period of
from forty-eight to sixty hours, ac-
cording to the degree Of hardness. At
the end of this time it has become
"yitalized"i. e., 1t has begun to
germinate, and has therefore become
quite soft and tender and has under
gone profound chemical notifications.
When the proper degree Of vitaliza
ton has been attained the grain is
fed directly into kneading machine,
where it is triturated and kneade1
till it is ready to be nodded into loaves.
1t is then allowed to ferment, or 'rise,"
for the proper length Of time, where
upon it is placed in the bakers oven.
The bread is gray in color and, being
made of the whole grain, is much rich
er in food value than bread from -four,
containing a higher percentage Of min
eral salts, lecithin and vegetable pep
sin. There is saving not only In
manual labor, but in wastage, so that
given weight Of grain yields con-
siderably larger number of loaves
when unground than when converted
into flour. Another advantage is that
there is less risk of adulteration than
when -four is used.
