''DRIED LUNCHEON" IS INTRODUCED BY
 WIFE OF LANSING
 AS WAR ECONOMY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.- The dried luncheon" has made it's ap- pearance among the household war economies of official life. when Mrs Robert Lansing, wife of the Secre- tary of State, served to a party of cabinet ladies and others a six-c meal composed entirely of dried foods
 Dried vegetable bouillon dried chicken, dried vegetables of many kinds, dried salad, dried fruit and dried mint were on the menu, and the guests said afterward that the combination was unusually appetizing. It more than demonstrated, they de- clared, that the agricultural depart ment experts are right in advocating the use of dried food. Those pres ent were Mrs J. Daniels, Mrs. Will liam c. Redfield, Mrs. Champ Clark, Mrs Alice Pomerene and Mrs. Hugh l.. Scott.
 The experiment was undertaken by Mrs. Lansing in line with Presi- dent Wilson's recent appeal to the housewives of the country to use more dried food Many households in official circles here are expected to take up the dried luncheon" idea.

PLACE STAMPS ON OLD MAGAZINES AND
 SEND TO SOLDIERS

Postmaster Z M Bradford has is- sued warning to those mailing old magazines to the soldiers and sailors against affixing stamps and mailing them unless the proper word ing appears on the cover of the book. Many of the magazine pub. fishers are now printing the proper notice on the covers of the pub lications, and when this appears, the mere affixing of a one-cent stamp and mailing is all that is required to have the magazine reach its des. tination.
 When the notice does not appear, 1t must be written or printed on the magazine before the stamp is af- fixed. Many of the residents of Juneau have been mailing magazines without the proper notice, and these cannot be forwarded
 The notice which must appear on the magazine or publication reads:
 NOTICE TO READER.
 When you finish reading this mag azine place a onecent stamp on this notice, hand same to any postal employe, and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers and sailors at the front.

JUNEAUITE CARVES 8 TOTEM FROM SOLID
 BLOCK OF MARBLE

What is considered to be the most perfect speciman of an h. dian totem in Alaska has just been carved from a solid block of Alas kan marble by James Hogan, of Juneau, and it will be erected in the cemetary at Klukwan. The totem represents the Frog clan, of the Chilkat tribe of Indians and five names of members of that tribe are carved on the stone.
 The totem was carved from a solid piece of marble weighing 1,S00 pounds and measuring feet by feet by 1 1-2 feet. The totem is painted a vivid green with white eyes and yellow spots. It repre- sents the head of a large frog just emerging from the top of an old stump. It will be taken north on one of the next boats and be erected on concrete base already prepared for it at Klukwan.
 The natives of the Frog elan are preparing to give big potlatch at the time of the erection of the stone and will spend $4,000 on the stone and potlatch to follow
 MT. Hogan has been busy for many months past carving totems from solid Alaskan marble for tho natives of southeastern Alaska and has several already for delivery, some representing bears, another a whale killer and one telling the story of the birth of a native, the country surrounding the place where he was born being represented in symbolic signs intellibigle only to the natives themselves. Few white men are familiar with their method of preserving stories in carvings
 Another stone has been prepared for old Schwatka, who died at Haines and is simple shaft deco rated with an American flag and surmounted by large stone eagle. Schwatka was the native who first revealed to the white men of this section the trails and roads used by the natives. He died after reaching the age of 100 years.

INDIANS CLAIM RED SOX ABOUT
 TO A COLLAPSE
Worlds Champions Fail to Show the Same Class
 As They Did This
 Time Last Year

According to members of the Cleveland-American league club, the Red Sox are in state bordering on collapse. The pennant, they be- lieve, can not go to Boston this year, and they predict a complete reversal of form by the champions.
 One member of the Indians put it like this: "The Red Sox are fail ing to take advantage of things they would have turned to their credit a year ago. The club is not hitting and the field is getting ragged. In addition, Ruth is the only consist ently effective pitcher. Some folks are inclined to lay great deal of stress on George Fosters one-hit game against us recently, but the fact of the matter is we should have beaten him badly. Every ball hit was driven hard, but always directly at some fielder. Fosters pitching will not give the Red Sox much help, regardless of what you hear.
 Whether the. trouble is due to squabbles on the club I can't say, but I predict, and so does every other member of this club, that the Red Sox will fade away before the season is over.
 KEEP UP GREAT DRIVE.
 The Cleveland ball players may be right, but he is taking a long shot to predict the collapse of the Red SoX. Things just as startling have happened, but they are rare occasions. The Red Sox are good enough to be in the fight all the way.
 With the pitching staff that grac- es the payroll in Boston the Indians would have pennant possibility without any argument. And, if the White SoX and Red Sox were to switch pitching staffs the Red Sox would undoubtedly glide toward the bottom.

1t ism t the question of the man
who makes two blades of grass grow
where one was garnercd before this
year. but the man who makes two
beans or two potatoes grow where one
was harvested n year ago will be a
real patriot and at the same time he
will be helping his own pocketbook.
The farmer is handicapped by lack of
suitable help, but there will be some
amateur assistance available, and this
should be made as adaptable as pos
siblc. The farmers of New England
never had better chance to help
themselves and to help their country
than in this year of 1917. There
ism t the slightest chance of ovcrpro-
duction. Even if the war should end
during the present sumincr-and it is
more likely to end in l92O--food prices
will continue high for wears.

WAR EXPENSIVE.

War, in addition to being hell, as
Gen. Sherman said, is also expensive.
We shall all find this out. The war rev
cnuc measure, designed to raise nearly
two billion dollars, will take u large
slice from business profits and incomes,
that it will touch the pockctbook of
every person in the land who has cent
to spend. LuXurics of various kinds,
liquors, wines and beers will pay an
enormous levy, automobiles and motor
cycles will get an additional tax, the
persons who go to movies and other
entertainments or who ride on the
steam ears will be forced TO chip in a
little extra to help the war along, and
every letter and postcard will cost more.
We are not only i'm the war, but in for
a long war, the experts and men in
authority tell us. Those of us who will
not see actual service in the field ought
not to make Il whimpcr or complaint.
We shall do something by working
hard, spending our money freely and
paving the additional taxes. And of
COURSE most of us shall expect and wish
TO do more than his from lime to time
as occasion demands.

The complaint that only experienced
men are of use on the farm is not
wholly true. Farming is not Il mys-
terry, and the general work can he
learned by any man with reasonable
intelligence and Il willingness to work,
although at first he will be slow and
bluIdcring. British farmers have been
forced to accept women as field hands,
and unskillcd women at that, MGR
chants, manufacturers, shippers, eX-
pressmcn, railroads, are constantly
breaking in green hands and losing
trained ones, and they do not quit
business. There is less stability in
employment here than in other cOun-
tries; possibly less THAI there should
bc-though democracy cannot bind any
man to his task. Labor, oh the whole,
is adaptable. The employer should
meet it halfway. In n great national
and Worldwide emergency the farmer
who is alive to his duty and opportun.
ity will welcome any ablc.bodicd
helper.
