Most of our citizens have seen in
the daily papers accounts of expert
ments in food conservation in the
way of combining fruit and foods, the
classes being conducted at the various
cooking schools in Milwaukee. For
instance, some very successful and
pleasing combinations have been
made with rhubarb, at very low cost
per pound, and it will doubtless be in
teresting to our readers to learn that
1900 pounds, in other words one ton
of rhubarb has been furnished for
this purpose by residents of Wauwa-
tosa and immediate vicinity.

FOOD CONSERVATION.

The meeting held in Milwaukee on
Monday CT this week, composed of
women from various wards in Mil
waukee and surrounding cities. was
simply a preliminary meeting, to be
followed by another on next Monday.
July 10. The purpose of the gather
ings is TO organize the women in ev-
cry ward or town to handle the com
ing food census in the work of the
County Council OF Defense. The la
dies 50 organized with a chairman,
vice-chairman. and secretary in every
ward and precinct, and captain in
every block, will make a house to
house canvass in the interest of food
conservation. 1t is not the intention
to rob of necessary food, but TO save
in every way, using as little wheat
and preparations of wheat as posi-
bic, eliminating all waste, each wom-
an being asked 10 conserve according
to her own condition and her own
possibilities. In signing Mr.. Hoover's
pledge, which should be the first duty
OF every woman, no one is asked to
do the impossible, but every woman
who signs this pledge will be given a
card to hang in her window. and she
will receive helpful suggestions and
bulletins on food conservation from
the government and from the Col
lege of Agriculture, her name being
placed on these regular mailing lists

Editor WauWatosa News:
There is still another section of
our little city with its enthusiastic
group of women workers who have
not been heard from. These ladies
live in the Greystone Park district,
and are also banded together for war
relief work, under the name of THE
Aetna Park Relief Society"
They organized about two months
ago with Mrs. George E. Tyrlell as
their leader, and so busy have they
been that they have had no time for
publicity-all they could see was the
terrible suffering among the women
and children of the war stricken al
lies-all they could think about was
how best to relieve this suffering.
This society meets every Thursday
afternoon in the Auditorium of the
Aetna Park school
Up to the present time more than
800 worth of new material has been
cut up into children's clothes. These
little garments are being distributed
among a force of some eighty $50
neighborhood' ladies and their friends
who take the work home TO do the
sewing AS fast as garments are
completed, baby "layettes" are ar
ranged, each separate "layette" con
tanning everything necessary to sup
ply the needs of one baby. These are
then shipped on their mission of
gladdening the hearts of needy moth
ers, with greeting enclosed to each.
Miss Ruth Van Roo is chairman of
the making of these baby clothes.
Comfort pillows are also made, and
Mrs. r. w. Martin is chairman of
this work.
Mrs. +. c. Ackley has charge of the
worn clothing. which is being collect
ed, and Mrs. L. S. Suess is in charge
of the linen for bandages.
The officers Of Aetna Park Relief
Society are:
President-Mrs. George E. TyrreH.
Secretary-Mrs. A. NJ. Nehs.
Treasurer-Mrs. c. J. Aburg.
The society is organized for real
service and a more enthusiastic, hard
working, loyal company of women
would be hard to find.

LET'S MAKE THE CONNECTION.

That edifyng story brought back by the Merchants Protective Association excursion It tells that there dozen fish packing pants-in cluding the two herring packing establishments Little and Big Port Walter-and hundreds of fishing craft of all classes that ought to be brought into closer business connection with Juneau. Scattered along beyond Rake side and Gambler Bay on the other. there are perhaps between 2,O0O 5000 fishermen Frederick Sound and Chatham straits who have direct mail other communication with Juneau. and who live within what is properly Juneau territory. And the indications clearly indicate that the development of this region has only fairly begun.
 Juneau should not rest until mail has been established 6betweeh Juneau and the southern of Baranof Island and until postoffices located venlent points the shores of the bays and inlets of Frederick Sound and Chatham strait where people live and do business.
 Already the annual business of these and wom- en run into the hudreds of thousands, and in short time it will into millions With practical unanimity these people agree that Juneau them better as supply depot than any other point, and that a mail route should be established between them and this city.

A CONCRETE CASE.

It s pleasant to turn from the generalities that marked the attacks the advisory board something real and concrete. It is furnished by way the shoe and leather contracts handled
 Under ordinary methods of procedure bids would first have been asked of manufacturers All these would have rushed into the market get options on raw material to enable them contract if they got It. Bidding against each other price of leather would have been forced up higher. And these prices would have been figured in the contract bid
 How did this dangerous advisory board go about it It first quietly secured option in the market for the whole amount of material needed for the con- tract got all the advantages of a sole purchaser without needless competition Then it announced that ample material at these prices-whch were moderate as prices now go-would be available the manufac turers to whom contracts awarded All this of course was approved by the proper department
 What followed? The contracts were let by the quartermaser's department the lowest bidder in a sealed bid competition; of the members of the shoe and leather committee of the board anything to do directly indirectly with letting them the gov. ernment got the shoes at reasonable price, and the Senate objectors carefully rerained from alludng to the whole businesslke and highly credtable trans action.
