TO REGULATE BREAD

Early regulation of the baking in
dustry was promised tonight by Food
Administrator Hoover.
Plans to control bread production
and distribution already are under
consideration and will be put into OPP
Grafton as soon as bread baking ex-
periments now being conducted in sew
eral cities are completed. Municipal
bread depots will be provided If it is
found that retailers can not be con
trolled under a voluntary arrange
ment.
The baking industry was left out of
the general food control law to be
put into effect November first. Be-
fore taking any steps to deal with the
industry the food administration

MORE SMOKE THAN FIRE

Last sunday afternoon the fire siren
called the department out 10 a blaze
IN the rooms over the drug store now
owned by DR.. Hyde. From all the evi-
dcrcp that we can muster it seems
tb4t Mrs. Webster, who lives in the
front rooms over the store, had been
u-ng an electric fiat iron and set the
same on the floor after use. Either
She did not turn off the current or tn"
connection was not perfect and in con
sequence the iron kept right on heat
ng until II set fire to the floor. Quite
p little blaze was started, but was dis
covered before getting beyond control.
The fire apparatus. as usual, was
promptly on the job and soon had the
blazt quenched. Water ran through
th, -teel ceiling into the store below,
but the good were moved soon
enough to prevent little if any real
daua-e.
III might be we'll to add here in con
n. ton with the question of fires, that
the whistle blown on Saturday even
ing about ten O'Clock was not for an
alarm of fire. but to announce that
Brook.ngs county had o a little
over in subscribing its quota to the
second Liberty Loan.

TO USE OLD NEWSPAPERS

The Woman's Home Companion
says: "When the greatest war IN MS
tory broke out, the Swiss government
forbade any newspapers going out OF
the country. and later the natives
were instructed to soak them, folded
as they come from the press, over
night in water sufficient to cover. IN
cidentally, it may be said that station
airy washtubs are just right for TINS.
In the morning the papers, stu iold-
ed. are wrung out as one would Wrlng
a towel, until all the moisture posi-
bic is extracted; then these billetS,
of possibly eighteen inches length and
as big around as a mans wrist, are
laid in the sun or a warm cellar unit |
perfectly dry, when they look like
slender logs of gray cork" And you
burn them in the stove for cooking.
They make good fuel.

NEW JOB FOR SOLDIERS

A new course for the war Signal
Service will begin at State college on
Monday, November 5. The instructors
in war telegraphy are Prof. w. A. Pet
of Brookings, both of whom are expert
operators. The course is for regis
tered men who prefer the Signal Corps
to general military service. The aver
age pay Is better than in most other
branches Of the army and there is
greater opportunity for personal in
witiative and originality. Signal Service
men have a chance to learn much
about wireless, telephony and general
electrical engineering.
DR.. B. B. Bracket, head of State
college electrical engineering depart
ment, cautions drafted men who desire
to enter this service against further
delay in beginning the study of teleg-
raphy. He says:
Those in the second draft who wish
to make the Signal Corps probably
have not much time to spare. They
should enter one of the special schools
Of telegraphy very soon, and they
should select one Of the schools where
the training will be intensive and the
work rushed as fast as is possible.
Those who intend to come to the
State college should report on No
vember 5, or at least as soon after that
date as they can possibly do So"

STOP CRYING ABOUT WAR.

Many mothers are making matters

day out about their sons. War is bad
enough without adding any extra sor-
row before anything has actually
happened. Anna Steese Richardson
quotes in the October Woman's Home
Companion from a letter written 20
her. The writer of the letter says:
