CAN LARGE QUANTITIES
OF VEGETABLES NOW

In the last three years the average
retail prices of food has gone up about
one hundred and twenty-five per cent.
The rise in prices since January 1917
has been unprecedented, there having
been rise of over fifty per cent in the
past few months.
There is a worldwide shortage in
food supplies, and it is my judgment
that even with the proper food control
and economy prevailing retail prices
will not drop, but may even go higher.
In 1916 the average price paid to farm
ers for wheat was about $1.25 per
bushel, but food gamblers drove this
price up to over $500 per bushel. Mr..
Hoover states that in the first five
months of 1917 food spectators robbed
the people Of this country of $3.50, 000-
00O My opinion is that the amount is
very much larger.
In this situation it is not only pat
riOtic, but it becomes a matter of self
interest for every householder to aid
in the conservation of the food supply.
At this time l especially advise all
families 10 can a large supply of veg
etables and fruits. 1t is my opinion
that canned goods will rise even high
er in prices, proportionately than
other foods, on account of the high
price of containers, labor, etc., enter
ing into their production
There has recently come into use the
so-called "cold pack" method of can
ming. This method is different from
the old fashioned preserving, and it
saves time, labor and expense No
thick syrups are necessary. Fruits
may be put up in their syrups. Veg
etables may be put up in salt water.
l recommend this cold pack method, as
it is the cheapest and safest

new SPORT STADIUM
| TO BE READY IN FALL

The new athletic field and stadium
at the University of wisconsin will
probably be ready for use when the
football season opens in the fall, al
though it will not be built to full size
tbs year on account of lack of funds.
The field and track have been COM
pleted, and only the building of the
concrete seats remains. When fin
lshed, the new stadium will have 10000
concrete seats and 1000 wooden ones.
Front seats will be reserved for the

One OF the most marvellous and at

markedly well in doing double work.

The first thing for person to do
who has learned from a competent
physician that he has an affected heart
is to set his mind in order. He should
accept intellectually the philosophy

doesn't belong to the gutter class,
it's remarkable how easy endurance

on War

We learn today a lesson in patriot
ism and unselfshness from the doc
tors. In at least one state (Ohio) the
medical men have agreed to share
fees with doctors who go to the front.
Thus. if DR.. Brown goes to the front
and DR.. Smith stays home, Smith for
wards to Brown half of any fees he
may get for treating Browns patients
in Browns absence.
The medical profession is filled with
traditions of heroic and unselfsh ac-
ton, but there is nothing that quite
matches this for broad guage human
goodness on such a large scale.
We have to thank the war for show
ing up in the human race an immeas-
urable amount of lofty idealism and
willingness to serve and sacrifice that
ordinarily we would not suspect was
here
We hope many will follow where
these doctors lead.

tional Golf tournament, the western
amateur championship, made inter-
national in character by the entry Of
a British and an Argentina player,

Months Work.
(Paris Gable Dispatch from Fred B

Trih,,no

(Paris Cable Dispatch from Fred B.
Pitney in the New York
w.. Tribune.)
I have just been listening to the
story Of a young girl from Lille. who
has been repatriated after 80 months
under German rule. This girl, who Is
20 years old, belongs to one of the
Lille families that were wealthy be-
fore the war. Naturally. she was not
brought up to hard labor. On the
contrary, she had everything that
wealth usually brings to a young girl.
The part of her story that I propose
to tell is that which deals with the six
months she spent as a field laborer for
the Germans.
"At 8 o'clock in the morning of
April rs, 1916, a guard of 10 German
soldiers knocked at my fathers door
in Lille. The sergeant major in COM
mand said thai the commander of
Lille had demanded a certain number
of young girls to work in the fields of
the Ardennes, but not enough a
presented themselves. and he had or
dered a requisition. Among the hous-
es to be searched was my fathers
and I was on the list 10 go with
them"
The girl tainted and was carried
away in a fainting condition by the
German soldiers, while her father and
mother could only look on and sol.
Her parents were not ven allowed to
go to the railroad station with her.
II was put in a cattle car with 80
other girls" she continued. 1.-THE car
had not been cleaned out since 1t had
carried its last load Of cattle, and we
had to push the filth outside before
we could find a place to sit on the
floor. There were 500 men and wom-
en- on the train. all in cattle cars, and
in nearly all the cars the men and
women were mixed together. When
we reached our destination the men
and women had to live together
promiscuously, sleeping in the same
room or stable or wherever it might
be.
"Ten times during the journey we
had to undergo medical examinations.
The examinations were Of the most
minute kind. We had to strip for
them. They seemed to be made for
the pleasure Of the examining officers.
There could be no other eason for
doing it 10 times.
%"Our destination was Auvillers-les-
FORCES, and we were kept there six
months. Our work was gathering in
