Earlier in this account I mentioned

me tell the rest of the story! After the
New Rockford farmers found all the

their homes.

They stayed there. They didn't come
back to New Rockford Pretty soon
the merchants began noticing that fact.
They found that their money hadn't

They went out in the country to find
the farmers. They said to them:

DOMESTIC SCIENCE NO
 LONGER AN EXPERIMENT.
A Way for Work Along Practical Lines
 Has Been Opened.

| Having completed the third year of domestic science for the seventh and eighth grades in the schools, we can no longer feel that it is only, an ex- pertinent, says Miss Grace E. Rogers supervisor of domestic science, in her annual report to Supt. E. J. Graham Continuing, she says:
 A way for some good work in the very practical lines snf home making has been opened but not yet as well established as We wish that it might be. #
 When parents come in, as many have this past year, to make such remarks as This is a splendid course which has been put into the schools. It has done by daughter a great deal of good. She has made everything at home after making it here,'' or this, as one mother said: "I consider this the most impor- tant course given in the school or, as Q great many mothers have remarked: T am 50 glad to have this course given in the schools. I didn't knoY before that my daughter would like to cook. but she does, and has made a great many things at home for us.' When we hear such commentators, that we have reaped some reward al- ready. But; after all, it is only a good start with what we have to do with. To have it perfected, and better, more thorough work done. more time should be given for the work. Each class is
 
 very short period in this line of work.
 The seventh grade work in the past year has been very similar to that given last year. The practical work las been: the cooking of fresh and cried fruits vegetables, cereals, the making of breads. discuits, mullins. gingerbread, soups. eggs, custards, and few simple desserts.
 - They have also learned the value of these foods in the diet. and how they may be cooked to be the most ca sily digested.
 The eighth grades learned how foods may be preserved, and they made our closet shelves very attractive with a good supply of canned. tomatoes. peaches. pears, quinces, pepper rel ish, quince and apple jelly, grape con- serve and orange marmalade. When these. were sold the first of March, at practically, cost price. we. received $40 for them: which we will use for other equipment.
 After the canning season was over the practice work was continued in the preparation of some kinds of meat and fish. review of bread making the making of cake, cookies and more desserts.
 Great enthusiasm and some splendid work was shown at the end of the sea- son for the last two months when the time was spent on how to properly set the, table and prepare and serve some simple meals. Here: too. we were greatly handicapped for time, as it all had to be prepared and served in an hour
 As we always look forward to doing better, more efficient work next year so we shall try to make this course stronger and more thorough with our present time and equipment hoping that the time may come soon when we can expand and make more of this practical educat tion in our schools

According to information received by Robert Scoville, United States Food Administer, a nationwide or ganization of war mothers is to as- sist in the campaign to secure signers to the Hoover pledge. This -organiza- ton contemp1ates enlisting the serv- ices of every woman who has a son in the military service of the United States or a son subject to draft:
 Herbert Hoover says fin regard to the organization:
 "It is peculiarly fitting that the mothers of the men who are to fight the nations battles should enlist in this vitally esNcntial service. They rhe supreme test of citizenship They want their sons to return to them as soon the peace of victory may be achieved. They will hasten the com ing of that peace by the work they kaye undertaken.
 F "In no war which the nation has engagHl have the loyalty, devotion and self sacrifice of American women ever failed. Tn no other war have they had a greater opportunity for ment for conservation of the nations food supplies. Not only does this Food Administration cordially vel come the war mothers into the ranks of it's volunteer workers. but an equal welcome will be extended to the wives and sisters of our soldiers and all ther loyal women who will enlist for q service which President Wilson has said is more than essen tiaI than any other which American women can render.
 "The Liberty loan must be sub scribed. But it would be useless to gather this money or prosecute the war if we failed to make sure of the food which will win the war. and the lack of which will surely lose the war"

taking it from the oven when I
dropped it on the table where it lit
right on the edge. I didn't want to

DESERTED HUSBAND GETS
AID FROM COUNTY FUNDS
Had Been Left With Four Children
BY Wife Who Packed Her Be-
longings and Departed.

Helena.-For the first time in the
history of the state, a Montana county
has authorized that assistance be rend-
cred to husband who was deserted
by his wife.
The man is a laborer and the father
Of four small children. The wife one
day packed her belongings and left.
The father went home that night
and found his four babies motherless.
So he quit work to stay home and do
the cooking and the homework, and
look after the babies. He had no
means of support, so the county con-
cluded it would be cheaper to extend
assistance to him than it would be to
take the children and support them
at the expense of the state.
