REV. RIPON GIVES PATRIOTIC
+. TALK At SUNDAY SERVICE

Rev. Ripon preached last Sunday
morning on "Minnesota's Loyalty
Meeting" He brought to this task
most unusdal qualities. The sermon
was so we'll taken and made such an
impression that the whole congrega-
tion remained after the service and
unanimously requested the pastor to
give it again at the evening service,
which he did to a large and appre-
ciative audience.
Rev. Ripon said:
"When the house is burning don't
sit down and discuss family affairs.
Prussianism and Americanism cannot
live in the same world, one of the
other must go. It is the duty of
the church said the pastor to create
an atmosphere of purity and right
eousness so as to make impurity and
unrighteousness ashamed to show
their heads above the surface. 1t is,
the duty of Christian men and wo-
men to create an atmosphere of
warmth and truth, so that the flower
of morality and purity may grow
and expand and become vital in
fiuence in the affairs of men, Carrv-
ing this illustration over and apply
ing to- the present day conflict" he
said, lit is the duty of every patrio-
tic citizen of the United States to
create an atmosphere of patriotism
and loyalty so as to make the air too
pure for treason to breathe, and the
soil too hot for traitors to walk" -
Germany is trying to cut the ar
terry of the world and bleed it white.
1t is for us who believe in liberty
and democratic progress to put ev-
cry ounce of energy and strength we
possess into this great conflict, that
we may make the world safe for de-
mocracy and democracy safe for the
world"

for Bread. = >-...-

The COMMITTEES on food Fconserva.

of barley flour to take the place OF
wheat. =.
Two hundred and. fifty barrels a
day are now being turned out by the
Washburn-C Crosby mills in Minneapo.
lis, and a smaller amount by a Du.
luth mill. Whether it continues or
the market depends upon the de.
mand. Since it and rye are at pre-.
sent, the only fours we have to sub
stitute for wheat -four it seems very
much worth while to create a de.
mand enough to keep it on the mar.
ket. The -four now being milled is
of a lighter color and more delicate
flavor than that which we have pre-
viously been able to purchase.
Below are some recipes for the use
OF barley flour, issued by the food
conservation committee:
Barley Yeast Bread.
3 cups liquid (milk and water), IL
tablespoons sugar, IL tablespoons
fat, l tablespoon salt, l cake yeast
compressed or dried, softened in
some of the liquid, 31a cups barley
flour, Z cups wheat -four"
Directions for making Yeast Bar
ley Breau Using Compressed Yeast:
Soften the yeast in some of the Ii.
quid. Combine the ingredients as
for wheat bread. Mix into a dough
knead and let rise to double it's or.
iginal bulk. Knead again and put
into pans. When again double in
bulk bake about IS minutes.
Directions for Making Yeast Bar.
ley Bread Using Dried Yeast: Make
a sponge over night with l cake OF
dried yeast, the liquid; and part OF
the flour. In the morning mix into
dough with the remainder of the
flour and knead. Let rise to double
its original bulk. Knead again and
put into pans. When again double
in bulk bake about As minutes.
