GO-TO- SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY TO BE OBSERVED
CHRISTIANE ENDEAVORSD DO
THEIR BIT FOR WAR CA USE

Many Endeavorers did their share
when they enlisted in the great
army of Production and Economy,
at the beginning of the planting of
crops season, which the President,
the governors of many states and
many other officials urged upon the
people of this nation at that time.
That the call of the President of the
United States and also of DIR. Francis
Z. Clark, president of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, to the
citizens of this country to cultivate
backyard gardens has been needed
there can be no doubt.
In the city of Grand Rapids,
Mich, where George Velman, first
vice-president, first district, Michi-
gan C. e. Union, resides, he says,
such an abundance of garden
truck has been raised within the
city limits that many of the hucl-
sters have been forced out of busi-
ness. On the bank next to the side
walk, in one of the gardens, the gar
edner has planted beans so as to
make the words. STAND BY THE
PRESIDENT To give meaning to
these words, he has raised a crop of
potatoes which promises to provide
the winters supply for large fam
ily."

Lard is 28 cents a pound. Many
folks object to paying that much but
realize that at the present price OF
hogs and with the probable future de-
mand it is unlikely that the price
will be reduced soon. 1t becomes
important. then, to find cheaper
satisfactory substitute. DR., Louise
Stanley of the Missouri College OF
Agriculture suggests that housewives
consider suet as source OF cheap
fat. Suet has not been as extensively
used as lard on account of its hard
er consistency. 1t can be obtained
at about I cents pound. From this
can be obtained fourteen ounces OF
pure fat at a cost of IL cents pound.
In order to bring this to the consist
ency of lard it is only necessary to
add oil in the proportion Of one part
of oil to two parts of suet. This
gives a compound fat which is very
satisfactory for general household
use. Cottonseed oil or corn oil can
now be obtained at about Fl cents a
pound. On the basis of the above
proportions a satisfactory lard sub
stitute can be had at a cost of IS
cents a pound.

Seattle, Wash, July 13.-The Unit
ed States Government has decided to
take out of the I. w. w. organiza-
tion that part of it which is German
or dominated by Germanic influence,
according to announcement today by
United States District Attorney Clay
Allen. The men will be interned,
MIR. Allen said.
Investigation by Government
agents, said the District Attorney,
showed a large percentage of the In
dustrial workers to be alien Germans.
Mr.. Allen continued.
attorney General Gregory, at my
request, authorized the internment of
all German enemies who affiliated
with or have taken part in any move
ment or plan seeking to bring about
industrial or agricultural organiza-
tion.
MY conception of the rule is that
this will apply and reach any alien en-
emy who establishes record of un-
reliability even of residence or en-
ployment.
at is apparent that this is not the
time for I. W.. WIS and their kind to
be shifting around from place to
place. They must seek employment
and keep it if they are to remain out
of Jail or an internment camp.
THE very fact that they are unre-
liable is a circumstance sufficiently
serious at this time to warrant the
attention of Government officers"
