These are the last days when the
surplus of food can be stored to feed
the world until the harvest of anOth-
'er year

the ground; many gardens where
there are tomatoes and other perish
able vegetables s,a unused ae by hdh'a the pro- %
storing for this winters use.
Will the women in every commun-
Iity, whether a local unit Of the WON.
ans committee has been organized
or not, unite to form committee to
take care of this.
In some places groups of energetic
and public spirited women are using
the surplus apples, crab apples, etc:
form of jelly, apple, butter. ETC., to
the pantry stores of public institu-
!tions such as homes for the aged
orphans homes and hospitals.
A notice in the local papers, an
appeal by telephone. will bring the
information where surplus fruits an0
vegetables can be secured, and there
are many young women in the towns
and cities who will be glad to gath
er these and bring them in, as their
contribution to the worthy enter
prise.
The young, women of the towns
can cooperate with the public school
classes in securing canning. and pre-
serving the surplus products. The
superintendent and instructors will
be glad to have the additional prac-

To be wasteful this year is little
less than criminal.

RARE COIN NEGRO HEIRLOO
Omaha Man Bought Washington Me-
mortal Dollar From Texas Owner
Few Were Minted.

BY the display Of silver dollar j.
A. McShane, millionaire oil man of
Omaha, became the central figure in a
Los Angeles hotel recently, the Elk
press Of that city states. OF course,
there was nothing remarkable about
Mr.. McShanes displaying a dollar, nor
were those who crowded about him the
type of men to whom the coin is rare.
AS q matter of fact, the reason for
the interest was that the coin in ques-
ton is q Washington memorial dollar,
one of the very few minted just after
the first president died in 1893.
The dollar is about the same size
as that ordinarily exchanged for a
pound or so of potatoes, and on each
side is a profile of Washington. On
one side is the date Of his birth, Feb
ruary %, 1882, and ON the other that
Of his death, December H. 1899. There
are SO stars on each side of the coin.
Mr.. McShane obtained the dollar
from a negro in Texas. The negro
said that he had carried it for 20 years
and that it had been given him by his
grandfather. He was lOath to part
with it and did so only after Mr.. Nc
Shane had crossed his palm with con-
siderably more than the face value of
the Washington dollar.
Mr.. McShane said that he intended
to place the coin in the museum of
Creighton university of Omaha,
which was endowed with $5,000,0O0
by the McShane family.

One of the famous people who have

Durov held that, whatever your vo-

But he had no ambition to be an or

Evil he rebuked by jest and gibe. No
man was in toe, high a place for his

him too well for that. however, and
soon he was back in the ring. To
show that he meant to be more dis

Germany Developing Water Power.

Germany is making more and more
use Of her water power for the pro-
duction of electricity. This extended
use of water power has powerfully
contributed to the saving Of human
labor, with the result that Germany
can now produce electrical energy al
most as cheaply as the countries pos
sessing an unlimited supply of water
power. The business Of extracting
nitrogen from the atmosphere has
been so successful, according to re-
port, that in 1917 the Government
will be able to dispose of 100000
tons of nitrous manure, which is four
times the amount needed in peace
