Feather Busters.

Heaven is mans idea of life after
death. The feather buster is a tur-
keys idea of life after Thanksgiving.
There has always been something
pathetic about it to us. Particularly
in that bilious and melancholy period
after we have given little thanks and
taken too many helpings. We always
think:
well. the turk is dead and gone;
the gobbler, as you might say, COB
bled; but his soul and his feathers go
marching on 1t sort of fills us with
sadness.
But the feather duster, like a good
many old established institutions, is
passing. Patent maps and extra eff
ficent rags of one sort and another
are pushing it to the ash can. Dust is
being clipped upon and obliterated
without warning. .e
But the buster in its day did yeo-
man service. Long may it wave.

RUSH TO ENLIST IN
MARINE CORPS CONTINUES

WASHINGTON, D. c., April r.
The great American public is realizing
now more than ever the fact that our
marine corps maintains separate and
distinct recruiting stations from the
other branches of our national defense
aid that although the marine goes to
sea, he is a soldier--not a sailor-and
does not serve his country entirely on
the ocean wave, according to Major
General George Barnett, the comman-
cant of the soldiers of the sea-"
The present crisis is causing many
patriotic young men to investigate the
different avenues in which they ma?
protect the freedom which they enjoy,
and those undecided as to whether they
would do their bit" as a soldier or a
sailor are enlisting in the marine
corps as a soldier and sailor, too"

THE u. S. NAVY

WASHINGTON April 1.-THE man
who supplies the feet with its vast
quantities of housekeeping supplies
food, fuel and other stores-is Ad'
n.iral MCGOWAN, Chief of the Bureau
of Supplies and Accounts.
The Navy names him as the man
who has made "a smoothly running
military machine, of the great supply
system. Under his regime great strides
have been made in furnishing the fleet
at an instant's notice with all it needs
for any task His is the business side
OF the navy, which calls for sound bus
mess judgment. He was selected for
the post because of his remarkable
efficiency" as Fleet Paymaster.
MCGOWAN is one of the best looking
men in the navy. He has the strength
and forcefulness of a giant, weighs
about zoe solid muscled pounds, has a
voice like bull and is as democratic
and companionable as politician run

FOR FARM LABOR

1t is we'll that the nation is looking
towards the mobilization of farm labor
as well as the army and navy. The
farm is the ultimate base which shall
mark success and extended delay
which would sorely embarass the
United States.
When the government calls for sold
iers due note will be taken of farm
labor. The men who will be kept on
the farm are those beyond military
age; those of military age but not &C
cepted for active service, and those
boys under the age for enlistment.
At a conference held in st. Louis
called by Secretary of Agriculture
David F. Houston, the question of
farm products and labor was discuss
ed and number OF strong recommen-
dations will assume form for the gov
eminent.
Among the various things urged for
the nation are:
The production of normal cotton
crop by intensive cultivation rather
than by increasing the acreage.
Increasing corn acreage and substi-
tt.ting sorghum crops in districts
where wheat has been killed.
Increasing areas planted to navy
beans, Mexican and tepary beans,
buck-wheat, barley, oats, potatoes,
sweet potatoes and peanuts.
Formation of boys and girls clubs
for the purpose of encouraging gard
ening.
The establishment of municipal dry
ihS anu SdAllllS Coloo'ioiAAhChCS'
Increase in the animal products and
enlargement of the milk production
one-fourth by intelligent feeding.
The increase of pork production and
doubling poultry production within a
year by careful feeding methods.
In order that distribution of mature
crops might be best effected. it was
suggested that the department of agrf-
culture, cooperating with the state
of agriculture and other
agencies at once mobilize sufficient
farm labor to meet all emergencies.
A thorough survey of the food labor,
and other resources of the country is
asked

WHAT CAN BE DONE
WITH WHOLE WHEAT

Garden Commission.
WASHINGTON. April 12.-Whole
wheat which can be bought in the grain
at seed or feed stores, is one of the
best all-round cheap and nutritious
foods in the country. Every American
home should keep supply of whole
wheat. When soaked for several hours
and cooked an equal length of time it
makes a delicious breakfast food.
Ground in a hand grist mill which
can be bought for three or four dol
lars, it is equally palatable when made
into bread or used as cereal.
1t has been estimate that whole
wheat, cooked over night in a fireless
cooker, or cooked all day on the back
of the kitchen range, makes a cereal
costing 1-16 the price of some of the
patent commercial breakfast foods,
ard furnishes. moreover. fully equal
nourishment
Whole wheat may be cooked without
cracking or grinding, but it requires
many hours in double boiler to cook
thoroughly. Whole wheat ground in A
hand grist mill should be cooked at
least three hours over the fire or all
night in a fireless cooker. To have
the best flavor it should not be tee
moist. The longer it is cooked the
better 1t is possible to cook w
enough for several days and warm II
over as desired. If whole wheat is
soaked several hours, it will not neej
to be cooked so long.
The Bureau of Chemistry has work
ed out recipe for bread made prim
arily frim home ground meal. two
cupfuls of wheat meal, l cupful o
white flour, l ia cupfuls of luke warn
water, IL cake of compressed yeast,
level tablespoonful of salt, l leve
tablespoonful of sugar, and l level ia
blespoonful of shortening if desired, il
the formula Dough of this kind has
only 2-3 of the usual rise of white
bread. 1t should be baked slowly 70
5-4 Of an hour.
Every American woman should know

EVERYBODY AT WORK.

While the cost of living nova
days is high enough to make peo-
pie grumble, it must be remem-
bered that never before was there
such al demand for labor at living
wages. Anyone who Wants to work

that they can't get as good pay as
they would like-few people do
but if we had high prices and no
work, folks would actually learn
something about hard times

: PUBLIC. SAFETY VALVE. I


Editor of the Times Recorder:
To the parents of America these
questions are today put;
Do you want. your boy to die per-
fectly useless and unnecessary death
in the field or in the hospital, or do
you want him to go forth with reas
enable chance of coming home to you
The choice rests with you!
Under the Constitution of the United
States and under the national defence
act of June 3, 1916, the president of
the United States is authorized in case
CT war to call into military service all
citizens of a fighting age.
AS your boy will have to go to war
anyway if his services are needed, it
is up to you to decide:
Whether if he goes-and go he must
he shall go trained, hardened and
alive to the dangers that he is to meet,
or unframed. soft and ignorant OF
military matters and dangers, half
awake and efarful of the unknown;
Give Him a Chance.
Whether he shall go a marksman,
knowing how to attack and defend,
how to take care of himself in vigor
Gus health how to look after his feet,
his skin, his teeth, or whether he shall
go ingnorant as a child of all the
.sings that he needs to give him a
chance to survive and win out alive;
Whether he shall go to war with q
reasonable chance of returning there
from, or to deadly certain disaster;
Whether he shall go with all the
possibilities that lie in his receptive
young mind and active young body
fully developed for his own safety,
or undeveloped, blindly ignorant OF
these things that may save him.
In campaign the chances of train
ed men for ultimate safety are vastly
superior to those of raw recduits.
To send unframed troops to meet
troops trained in modern warfare % is
sheer murder. They would die like
sheep.
| 1t is up to the parents.
Will they choose the wiser course
ard have their boy if he is called to
| the front go there alert, hardened
drilled, disciplined, awake to all pos
sible dangers and prepared to meet
them-typical soldiers of the republic;
or are they boing to deny their bov
that training and knowledge to which
he has as much right as he has to the
life that you gave him, that training
and knowledge which you cannot, but
the Government can and will gladll
give him if you but say the word
Crime to Deny 1t.
To deny him this chance for his life
would be crime, for it is his right.
Congress is meeting again. Il
will seek to avoid this issue because il
will fear-what?
The fathers vote, the mothers
thoughtless condemnation of meas
ure that she does not understand, L
is you that Congress fears. Nine
months hence will be too late. IheY
your boy may have already been called
to teh army, soft and helpless as he i:
now. If you want to give him
chance telegraph to your Senators ant
, Congressman urging them to pass
universal training bill before Congress:
adjourns and before it is too late.
Act now! The future safety of YOU
sen rests in Your own hands.
