Government bakeries: There Is
no need in Philadelphia was emphat-
ically asserted by William Freebooter,
president of the Freebooter Baking
Company aud member OF the
War Emergency Council.
That the Philadelphia baker needs
no prodding to patriotism and has al
ready gone much further in value Civ
ing than could possibly be enforced by
any standardized loaf was further
asserted by Mr. Freebooter
"ln proof thereof he pointed to the
Freihofer Liberty Loaf so christencd
when placed on the market.
This LOAF. which is l715 ounces in
weight and specially made to retail for
ten cents, is just as truly tribute to
patriotism as any Liberty Bond, ac-
cording to Mr.. Freebooter.
Declaring that it represents the
highest bread-value possible today, MIR.
Freebooter said Liberty Loaf is a war
bread on Y because the ingenuity which
made it possible is the result OF the
urgent necessity to stop waste at this
time 1t il not made of substitute ma
tcrials, AS is the war bread of Europe.
The process by which the new
bread is made concerns itself both with
the milling and the baking. Before
putting it on the market, Mr.. Freebooter
declared it was tested on his own table.
And we found that on the fifth day it
was just as good, if not better, than
when the loaf was first cut
"'It was to help Philadelphia house
wives save slice OF bread day MIR.
Freebooter continued, that the Liberty
LOAF was born.

A NOVEL DINNER BELL.

a camp cook, whose only means of
calling the members of his party was
pounding on a, pan with a knife handle,
was unable to make them hear when
they We're fishing or hunting at any
considerable distance from the camp.
One of the party. to whom he COM
planned, thercupOn made what he
called a "kleralo."
The "klepalo' was merely a piece Of
well seasoned oak plank two inches
thick, six inches wide and four feet
long. Through the center he bored a
hole, passed a rope through it and
suspended the plank from the branch
of a tree. The cook rang" the instru-
ment by striking it with a mallet, first
on one side and then on the other.
The man who made the "klepalo"
had seen similar contrivances in small
Bulgarian villages. where they are
used instead of church bells. to call the
people to worship. A test OF the in
strument used by the campers showed
that. in ordinary weather conditions,
it could be heard two miles.--Youth's

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING IN
THE WAR.

Anna Steese Richa rdson, who is run
ming the department for exchan age OF
ideas for patriotic service in the H'om-
ans Home Companion. SAYS in the
August number:
Women the country over are Or
ganizing to serve their country: Many
Of the organizations. devised to give
efficient help In desperately needed
work. nevertheless prove disappointing
to women who wish to join them.
These women find. on investigation.
that the work of the organizations In
too complex. or that they require more
time than the average woman can give
or that the efforts are duplicated by
others. Or that the output of work Is
not satisfactorily distributed. or even
that il cannot be used at all.
often the women who would like
to help. and whose help Is really
needed, become confused by commit
tees and subcommittee and divisions
and subdivisions of subcommittee.
The intricacies Of organization are
difficult for most of us to grasp. and

as that occasioned by this wOr Il Is

RAILROADS WILL PROSPER.

American Magazine:
Transportation is ranked as our
second industry. with it's l.5o0, 900 en-
ployees on steam railroads alone and
its almost $4,000, 600, 900 of invested
capital. There will be comparatively
little dislocation Of skilled employment
in railroading proper; but, as in Eu-
rope. IA movement has already set in
to install women as clerical workers,
and we are likely to see this substitu-
ton of women for men carried to con-
siderable length on our railroads, our
street cars, our elevated roads, and
our subways. AS for railway invest

HOW ONE WOMAN MET
MIDDLE AGE,

After much thought, worry, tears
and prayers. came upon a plan which
followed up. Curiously enough, the
extra burden Of my young daughters
support and education was the very
thing that caused me to think of the
work which l undertook. I decided to
go to Il college town and open a small
boarding house.
The success Of my boarding house
gradually grew. By the end of the
third year the bachelor members of
the faculty had crowded the students
from my table. l gave better fare and
charged accordingly. humored the in
dividual appetite Of each professor.
Just as my devoted mother would
have done. | learned the dates Of their
respective birthdays and we had II
jolly birthday dinners during the year
on the right dates. In other words,
gave my boarding house the atmos-
phcre of a home.

In very simple dresses.
And strolls with her through Lilac

Oh. how they love the country Jane
Who wears simple Bingham!
My love alas. has never dwelt
Where boughs with blooms are laden,
Few fragrant breczes has she felt,
She is city maiden.
Her tresses seldom float. forsooth.
Her folks. nor poor nor thrifty.
And oh. to tell the bitter truth.
Her clothes arc rather nifty!
She's not simple country dame.
No boughs are sweet above her.
And yet she's pretty just the same
And anyway, l love her!

WHERE THE PRESIDENT IS
WRONG.

We are of the opinion that the
president erred when in dcploring the
deportation of the l. w. w. from
Bisbec. he stated that a dangerous
precedent had been established.
AS matter of fact. it was not
precedent Similar action has been
taken many times in the frontier days.
And it was not dangerous except for
those who refused to get out Of town
when ordered
After numerous highway robberes
and sluice box thefts had aroused the
anger of the community. the good peo-
pie Of Poker Flat escorted certain I'M
desirable citizens to the foot OF the
gulch with warning that summary
punishment awaited them if they re-
turned. Mr.. Oakhurst, the gambler, it
will be remembered. accepted this sit
uation in a philosophical manner,
| recognizing the established code of the
frontier justice and offering no resist
ance.
This system prevailed at intervals
in the early history of Montana. The
sturdy citizens or those days had a
| wholesome sense of justice and they
were not lacking in fortitude to main
| tain it.
The point of view to be kept
! in mind is that the people, as a rule,
| do not rise in a body and administer
justice until the local machinery has
willing or helpless.
| The citizens of Alder Gulch seized
Ives and his gang. tried them and OK

! open assemblage. This was done only
after it was found that Plummer, the
sheriff. who was also executed, be-
longed TO the nighwaymen and that
the people were without means Of pro-
lection from the officers of the law.
There Is no higher or worthier form
of justice known than that procedure.

"The first question is that of floors:
to which floor shall the various de-

weighed:
Does its volume of sales warrant 1t:
Does the nature of the commodity
handled demand too much display

it's sale is dependent upon its being

Does the margin of profit earned
