French or German fried potatoes, po-
tato chips, etc.
One excellent way to cook the
skinned potatoes is to bake them.
The entire potato, including the thin,
golden-brown crust may be eaten.
This recipe for economical peeling
Of potatoes was furnished by a
housewife and tested by the United
State Department Of Agriculture.
The department will be glad to have
other housewives write of thrift
practices which they have found
useful in their homes.

MEN MAY
BE AVIATORS
Five Thousand Seective Service
Boys to Be Transferred
to This Sec
ton

The Des Moines Register says:
Orders were received by the division
commander yesterday from the war
department in Washington to prepare
5000 men from the Eightyeighth
division of the national army for
training in the aviation section Of
the signal corps.
A special appeal will be put out
for men who are expert motion pic
ture photographers and expert me-
chanics. No more is stated in the
orders.
Land near the rifle range was
carefully inspected early in the sum-
mer with view to the establish
ment of an aviation school here, and
it is thought among the officers at
the camp that this order points TO
the coming of orders for the avia-
ton school. .. ..
This will necessitate the building
of enormous hangers for the ma
chine, and the leveling Of the hill
locks for landing fields.

Hoiiotue'en Comes
From "Wifchr,ight"

Halloween as used by Robert
Burns is a changed word derived
from the word Hallow-eve. Hallow.
eve was first conceived when the
Pantheon Of Rome became a place
of worship for the christians aud
was dedicated to the Virgin of all
Martyrs. 1t was first celebrated on
May 1st but the date was subse
quently changed to November LIST and
under the designation Of feast of All
Saints. This evening was set apart
as a general cOmmemoration to their
honor and as such was retained by
the Anglican and American Episco-
pal churches.
But the halloween we so riotiousiy
celebrate has nothing churchie about
it and seems to be a relic Of pagan
times combined with medieval SUI
perstitions. 1t was regarded as the
time of all others when supernatural
influences prevailed and as a night
which was set apart for the univer-
sal walking abroad of spirits both OF
the visible and invisible world.
From this tradition we get our
ghost costumes, pumpkin head Ian
terms and other scary things Of our
hallowe'ensparties.
On this evening it was believed
that the human spirit could detach
itself from the human body and wan
der abroad. In the south of England
the same evening is designated as
Nut Cracking Night" and is spent
in cracking and eating nuts. The
nuts form a large part in the love
affairs Of the evening and much sport
is derived from the games played.
The ducking also Is great sport,
apples are put afloat in a tub of
water and the guests are required to
eat the apple without taking 1t out
Of the water.
1t is from these varied sources that
we get our games. jokes and super
natural beliefs that afford us SO
much pleasure on Halloween.

MILK PRICES.

The New England Milk Producers Association is perfecting plans for carry ing into effect the prices an- nourced f)r milk during the months of July, August and September. These prices are between seven and eight cents quart for milk delivered in the city markets of southern New England.
 Fifteen organizers are now at work ;n Maine and Vermont, who will later in the month be transferred to other New England states. A grand "round. up" campaign is being prepared for the last three days in June. Each local branch will divide its territory so that a man can cover each section in day and man will be assigned to call on and enroll every milk producer. It is expected that by this means the mem- bership will be practically completed except in new territory in outlying dis. tricts where trained organizers will be kept at work.
 In the event of a strike all New Eng land will be divided into districts with leader in each district, backed by a corps of assistants. The city end will be looked after by the Central Associa. tion wbich has already partially com- pleted arrangements for getting milk to consumers through other than the regular dealers. A campaign of publici- ty to acquaint the public with the jus. tice of the farmers demands has been arranged. In any event the Association will do every possible thing to supply the market and increase the consump. tion of milk.
 While no intimation of the attitude of the dealers has reached the Associa. tion, it is hoped that the reasonable price demanded will be accepted with. out controversy. If necessary, however, the N. E. M. P. A. will fight to the limit for the price it's members demand.

cHILDREN'S DAY SERVICES
Pilgrim Church and Methodist Epsco-
 pal Church Celebrate the Day.

The Children's Day service at Pilgrim Church last Sunday morning was un- usually interesting and attractive. The children had been trained by Miss Smith, assisted by Miss Peirce, Miss Olga Johnson and Miss Ruth Hat maker. The primary and Beginners departments formed chorus of about S5 and occupied the platform. They led the singing of the songs assisted by the choir and the older departments of the school who were seated around the piano on the west side of the church. The primary department sang several !! songs very sweetly and gave many recitations, all the younger children participating. The exercise used was patriotic one and was called "Ohildren of the Pilgrims. One of the interest ing features of the program was the introduction of quaint old metrical version of the twenty third psalm, which was one of the six tunes in common use by the Pilgrims and which was printed in first book printed in English America, or in 1640. There were also two recitations taken from the old "New England Primer first used in 1878 and for one hundred years the school book studied by all children of Pilgrim ancestry. There was song by quintet consisting of Olga John. son, Florence Adams, Ruth Hatmaker, John Adams and Lester Place.
 The following children were bap- tized. Roscoe Monroe Benjamin. Vic- | Dolly pa,ioyniY1 W;nifrn6 Gor- dam Fitch, Donald Charles Rood, and Helen Whiting. The following three children were baptized at private service: Robert Weems Durrett, James Bullitt Durret and Charles Hunting ton Cobb. The following children who had been baptized and who were seven years old received Bibles: Grace Fitch, Annette Lansing, Robert Durrett and James Mather. .a..' .
 Pins were given to the Go-to- Church Band as follows: seven tn term pins to LeRoy Beaujon, Louise Beaujon, Ruth Beaujon, and Charles Beaujon, Jr., Joseph Mansir, Mildred Mansir, Henry Dodge, Mildred Peirce and Olga John. son ;Esixth term pins to Willard Peirce aud Douglas Adam; fourth term to Polly Gillette; third term to Eugenie Beaujon, Linda Stanton, Florence Whiting; second term to Gardner Gillette and first term to Mazda John son and Mason Noble, Jr. Others are to receive them when they have made up Sundays which they had missed.
 The offering received was for the Congregational Sunday School Society and $15.l0. The attendance at the ser vice was very large.
