"WAR BREADS NOT WHEAT
Potato Flour, COttOnseed Meal and
Corn Meal Used as Substitute.

Housewives everywhere are being
warned that the wheat supply is short,
that production must fall far below
what the world needs and that every
thing possible must be done to econ

Wenona Windsor in her bulletin on

Knowing these facts and realizing
the high cost of white flour. women
are asking for substitutes which will
be cheaper and yet furnish the proper

These breads made of cheaper flour
go under the general name of war

Various substitutes for white flour
have been tested with excellent re-
suits both as to food value and pala-

FEW BOARDERS AT THE JAIL
Sheriff Whitesides Says the Enroll.
ment Mt Jail Falls Short i'm Summer.

The Boone County Jail is not pop
ular summer resort. Sheriff T. Fred
Whitesides says the enrolment
always falls short in the summer
time, but that business rushes
in the winter season. The Jail

be transferred to the penitentiary to
serve sentences for hold-ups Another

Guests remain at the Jail from three
days to six months, according to their
individual merits. The county enter
tains well at the table The cost of
board is $3.50 a week. The modern
conveniences are scant, but the roof is
so bad that a slight rain is sufficient
to give heSinmates a shower bath.

DISCUSSES BIBLE INSTRUCTION
Miss Ella V. DObbS Tells How 1t Can
Be Studied i'm High School.

"If public school methods are sue
cess in the public schools" said Miss
Ella V. Dobbs, assistant professor of
manual arts in the University, why
cannot such methods ibe a success
when applied to Sunday SchOols?''
Miss Dobbs addressed q large assem-
bly, of teachers in the library of Steph-
ems College Sunday morning. The in
PRODUCTION of a course in Bible instruc-
tion into high schools for which state
credit will be given has created a de-
sire on the part of the teachers in re-
gard to improved methods of Bible in
struction.
Miss Dobbs thinks that if the uni
versity student is sometimes in doubt
as to whether the story of Hannah be-
longs in the New or Old Testament it
is because the story was not vividly
impressed upon his child-mind. Miss
Dobbs illustrated her point by telling
the story of David and Goliath while
she, by means of sand piles and paper
cut figures. made the whole scene
stand out vividly before here hearers
eyes.
Next Sunday Prof. J. d. Elliff will
talk on the subject 'Bible Credit for
High Schools"

CHANCE FOR SERVICE
Normal School Dean Tells Of OppOr-
tunities in War Time.

That this year will be the best that
has ever come to the American school
teacher, because of the opportunities
| for service and of the recognition that
it will bring, is the belief of c. A.
Phillips, dean of the faculty of the
State Normal School at sWarrensburg,
who was the principal speaker at the
Warrensburg picnic held Saturday
evening on the lawn at Dean F. B.
Mumford's home.
According to Mr.. Phillips, the two
most important things for the teach
ers to do during the war are to take
the lead in their respective communi-
ties in the great development of ma
tionalism that is going on, and TO
teach to the foreign element of our
population appreciation of American
institutions.
To show the development toward
professionalism in teaching, Mr..
Phillips compared the summer school
enrolment at Warrensburg ten years
ago and now. In 1907 there were 443
students doing work of high school
rank and 314 doing work of college
rank, the latter being 40 per cent of
the total. In 1917 there are 1,O0S do
ing college work and only 272 doing
high school work, the college grade !
students being so per cent of the |
total

ers' Association, spoke at the picnic
Professor COursault spoke of the har-
mony of the work of the State Nor

NOT ALL PHYSICAL

Amid the hue and cry for food con
servation to feed the army, for indus
trial rejuvenation that enemy destroy
ing shells may be manufactured, for
more men to WELD the bayonet and
man the guns. little has been said re-
garding mental ability as a factor in
the war The physical side has per-
haps been over-emphasized.
Young men are advised to leave
their text books and enter into the
physical combat. City rushes to
country to aid in gathering the crops
and country rushes to city to hasten
the planting of gardens. Few remain
to train themselves further for the
conflict.
This is to be war of brains as
well as brute strength. The young
man who has not yet finished his edu-
cation will be of far greater value to
his country if he remains to perfect
himself in his chosen work. Experts
will win the war-men trained to
perform their duties with the maxi
mum efficiency.
Trench diggers are not difficult to
obtain by draft. The engineer, agri-
cultural expert, journalist, linguist,
financial expert and numerous other
trained specialists are valuable am
munitiOn to aid in the fight There
is place in the service of the United |
States for every trained man. Sooner |
or later there will be a great need |
for him in the war.
1t is the duty of each man and |
woman whose education is yet unfin-
ished to spur forward with renewed |
effort in bringing themselves to the
highest plane of efficiency.

WOULD STOP WASTE IN STAMPS
Post Office Says Use Two Instead Of
Ones on Letters,

The Post Office Department re-
quests that two-cent stamp on a
letter be used instead of two one-cent
stamps. Patrons are also requested
to use stamps of the larger denomina-
tions when sending parcel post pack
ages. For instance, in sending pack
age costing eight cents buy an eight
cent stamp. The department says
this will save the cost entailed in
printing and perforating, as well os
the cost of paper.

Proposed consolidation of the
schools of the Ninth district and the
city was indefinitely postponed at the
meeting Of the County Board of Edu.

means that the schools will continue
for the coming session at least with.
out consolidation, but the matter has
been left in such shape that it can
be brought up at the close of the CON-
ing session. The merits of the mat
ter were not finally passed upon the
board simply being of the opinion that
at this time the proposed consolida-
ton should not be attempted. This
disposes of the agitation at least for
the present. Advocates of the consoi-
dation, however, declare that they will
continue the fight at later date.

PASSES AWAY
CAREY FRIERSoN, AGED NINETY
FIVE, DIED MONDAY MORNING
IN WEST END.

Carey Frierson, an old-time before
he war negro, died Monday morning
in West End at the age of 95 years
Carey was one of the few old-time
before the war negroes left in the
county, and he was known practically
from one end to the other. He was
strictly white mans negro and was
highly respected by all of his white
people. Before war he was owned
by some OF the Frierson's of the Zion
country, and was later admitted into
the Fleming family. For thirty years
he was in the family of John F.
Stephenson, and was regarded by
Mr.. Fleming as being one of the most
accommodating negroes, self-sacrifie-
ing and obedient servants he had ever
known. Mr.. Fleming in talking Of
Carey's death stated to Herald re-
porter that he never knew him to fail
to do anything asked of him by a
white man. After his death his white
friends raised the money and had his
remains prepared for burial and the
interment took place Tuesday morn
ing in Greenwood cemetery.

TWO GERMAN MACHINES WERE
BROUGHT DOWN. KILLED
AND 20 INJURED.

LONDON, June 6.-Sixteen German
airplanes came over the North sea
Tuesday evening and dropped many
bombs on the small towns and villages
in Essex and Kent. Only fourteen Of
them returned to their home base, for
two were brought down by British
guns.
So far, as late reports show, only
two persons were killed and twenty
nine injured in the bombarded dis
trict The raiders met with lively
reception, extra precautions having
been taken by the British authorities
after the recent very serious raid on
the southeast coast Of England, in
which $50 persons were killed or
wounded. The Germans we're attacked
by British aviators before they had
an opportunity to carry out their raid
ing intentions to any great extent, and
the British anti-craft guns were very
effective.

MAURY COUNCIL OF
JUNIORS WILL PAY
DUES Of SOLDIERS
THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR COUNTRY
ARE RELIEVED FOR THE TIME
OF ASSESSMENTS.
PATRIOTIC ALTON IS TAKEN
Service In Either The Army Or The
Navy Will Not Forfeit Any of the
Sick or Death BENEFITS of the Order
Other Councils Act.

Maury Council of the Junior Order
has again. proven the patriotism OF
that order in the adoption of reso.
luton that provides for the payment
of the dues and assessments of all of
its members who join the armed
forces of the United States for the
war with Germany. The council has
unanimously adopted resolution d.
recting that the assessments made
against members in the armed forces
of the country shall be paid by the
council and they will thereby be as
sured of the death benefit of $500 II
they die or should be killed while in
the service of the country, without
having to pay any more assessments.
Not only has the Maury council
taken this patriotic action, but the
councils of the Junior Order all over
the country are doing the same thing.
1t is an evidence of substantial pa,
triotism, of the kind that costs some
thing, the very best sort. The founda'
ton of the Junior Order is love OF
country and the members all feel that
they should manifest this sentiment
in a practical way and no better ex'
preston could be found than by pay
ing the dues of the heroic members
who serve the nation.
The national council has directed
that both the sick benefits and the
death claims of the members of the
order, who are in the service of the
country be paid. In other words, en-
listment in the army or the navy does
not impose any additional burden on
the members, but on the contrary
they will receive all the benefits that
they would should they be sick or die
in civil life. Where they are mem
bers like the Maury Council, they are
in such cases relieved of the assess
ments and yet get all the benefits.
