A PAT OF BUTTER.

MANY a mickle makes a muckle.'
One pat or serving of butter is a
little thing-there are about 81 OF
them in O. pound.
In many households the butter
left on the plates probably would
equal one pat or one-quarter of an
ounce daily-scraped off into the gar
bage pail or washed off in the dish
pan.
But if every one of our 100000
households should waste one-quarter
of an ounce of butter daily on the
average. it would mean 312,5QO
pounds a 14,O62,5OO pounds
year.
To make this butter would take
265, 261.560 gallons of milk-or the
product of over half a million cows.
But, butter isn't eaten or wasted
in every home, sope one objects.
Very we'll. Say only one in 100
homes wastes even a pat of butter a
day-over 100000 pounds wasted.
Still intolerable when butter is so
valuable food and every bit of but
ter left on plate is SO useful in
cookery.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington. D. c.. or your
state agricultural college will tell
you how to use every bit of butter in
cookery. 'ill-

FEDERAL Law TO
AVOID RAILROAD STRIKES
Secretary Of Labor Wilson Proposes
Rate-Fixing Board to Decide
Wages. e-rg

Legislation to prevent future rail
way strikes has been proposed to
congress by Secretary Wilson of the
department of labor. A commission
Of nine to fix wage rates on all rail-
roads for three-year periods is sug-
gested, uniform pay on all roads en-
gagged in interstate commerce and
in the District Of Columbia is pro-
posed and heavy penalties for rail-
roads paying more or less than rates
prescribed are provided.
The system aims to eliminate
strikes and lockouts by creating a
condition under which nothing would
be gained by them. All wage rates
would be based on an eight-hour law.
The board would fix wage rates for
water as we'll as rail transportation
systems.

F0REsEES STACKER" CLASS.
Joseph Letter Fears Effect Of "Vol.
unteer Army" Bill.

The passage by Congress Of the pro-
posed volunteer army bill will create
a Stacker class during the war. In the
opinion of Joseph Letter. president Of
the Army League, who points out that
since this legislation proposes to raise
only 500, 900 volunteers the millions of
young men who do not go out with this
force would, by the act Of Congress,
be classified as slackers.
by the Inauguration of the universal
military service policy every citizen
will have discharged his duty when he
has registered. 1t would then be the
function of the government authorities
to determine whether he is qualified
to servo and whether he is needed. The
entire defenses of tho country could
then be organized upon scientific
basis.
'The administrations bill: IS a sin
cere attempt to equalize the bdrdens
Of war. It places military service upon
the same basis with taxes. Those who
object to 1t will be 'slackers' at heart
or expect to secure commissions or
some special benefit under the volun-
teer system. The only objection to the
Administrations bill is that it does not
give the country a permanent policy"
