We Said "That's the Way
TO Tell 1t to the Sheriff,
Governor Sleeper BUT!


TO know whether a prize fight that had
been arranged for the afternoon IN Grand
Rapids should be permitted to take place
as scheduled.
II seems that Kent county officials
heard somewhere, that when Sleeper be-
came governor, he would lift the ban on
prize fighting, which is against the law
If Michigan.
With that understanding they had per-
mtted the plans for the fight TO go ahead,
but Sleeper gave out an interview IN
Lansing in which he said he was opposed
to prize fighting.
Being DESTROYS of knowing just where
he was at, the sheriff sent his telegram
of inquiry.
Ten minutes after having been inaug-
urated, Gov. Sleeper sent the sheriff this
reply:
READ THE STATUTES REGARD
ING BOXING IN THE STATE or
MICHIGAN AND ENFORCE THE
LAW"
That was the kind of reply that we
call great.
Has not Office holding been made easy
when you come to think of it?
OF course. the sheriff knew the law
when he sent his query.
However, there was that report around
about the governors intention Of going
easy on prize fights.
"Mr. Sheriff, it is neither for you nor
for me, nor the governor of Michigan, to
say whether this prize fight should be
permitted. The law says it shall NOT be
permitted"
That is what the governors reply
said.
Speaking of spectacles good to look

know what fine start is.

That is what the sheriff heard from
HEADQUARTERS, in Lansing.
What an eye-opener for that sheriff.
How plainly that reply showed him the
sourse for him to pursue as in his respon-
sibility TO the people.
How plainly it revealed to him the
course Of least resistance to satisfactory
discharge of his obligation to the people
Of his county under his oath.
Enforce the law, sheriff." the telegram
said, "even as ]. the governor. am en-
forcing ii in calling your attention to your

There was food for thought for the
sheriff in that telegram.
And we are Of the opinion that it set
him thinking.

Hebbard Doughnut
A Product of War

Seattle, WASH. Dec 21. Out of
the meshes of protection against food
shortage by reason of the war comes
the "Hebbard" doughnut. near
wheatless. meatless product. evolved
by b. c. Beck. chairman of the City
Conservation Committee. after
series OF experiments in bake ovens.
with many changes and substations
until the consumer could say "just
right" The departure in the reduc-
tion of wheat flour is named after
Charles Hebbard. Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Washington.
Chairman Beck subjected the
doughnut to exhaustive tests and
brought it up to such a standard that

in its nutritive and palatable charm.
Housewives, viewing each week the
fact that another "wheatless flour"
doughnuts at home from ingredients
already in the larder. On the basis
that the batch desired is eighty
doughnuts. here is the mixture that
will not only bring father home to
lunch, but will keep the children
close about the home fires:
Three and ree-quarters pounds

40 per cent. wheat flour; three ounces
lard, one pound sugar (beet sugar

Second Requisition of
Bells in Austria

Copenhagen, Dec. 81. = (Corres-
pondence) A second requisition of
church bells has taken place in Aus
tria to the sorrow of the Catholic
population of that country, accord.
ing to advices received here. A limit
ed number of bells had been spar
ed, thanks to the vigorous represen-
tatives of the Episcopal church au-
thorities. But the government came
to the conclusion that further re-
QUESTIONING was necessary, with the
result that the church has had to
sacrifice many more of it's familiar
and cherished bells to the never-sat-
isfied Moloch of war.
The idea of substituting steel bells
for bronze has not yet eventuated,
owing to the onerous conditions stip-
ulated by bell manufacturers, who
demand, among other things. that
the price should be paid in foodstuffs
for the workmen in the factories.

Dining Cars Conserve Food
but Feed More Persons

Washington, Dec. 81. = Railway
dining car services of the country
reported to the United States food
administrator to-day that during the
months of October and November
they had saved 469,5OS pounds OF
meat, 2SS,098 pounds of wheat Hour
and 25,699a apounds of sugar.
These savings are the more re-
markable," says a food administra-
ton statement, "for the reason that
they were made despite an increase
of 20 per cent. in the number OF
persons fed in dining cars in October
and November, 1917, as compared
with the corresponding two months
of the previous year.

Wall Maps Will Be
Used For Clothing

a.. Berne, Switzerland, Dec. ALDERMAN
ingenuity has once more found a way
to stave Off the crisis threatening
by reason of the lack of cloths and
clothing. The authorities of the So
called imperial clothing headquar-
ters' according to Berlin papers just
arrived have ordered all schools to
turn in old wall maps that are
mounted on linen or cloth of any
sort.
The maps, 1t is explained by the
clothing headquarters, will then be
separated from the cloth by a cleans
ing process and the supply of linen
thus obtained will be used for cloth
ing If possible, but in any event for
Innings.

Stout Cookery
Eureka Springs, Ark.

Knowing the widespread interest
throughout the country in the question
of conservation of food and in the me-
cessity for economizing in the use of
food materials, I am sending you bull
letin of The Stout Institute, just is
sued which / think contains some very
practical suggestions on this matter
This is one of the contributions The
Stout Institute is making toward meet
ing the urgent calls of the National
and State Defense Committees. Dur
ing the last six weeks of the term just
closed, the young women of the insti-
tute substituted for their regular work
in sewing and art needlework, work in
preparing Red Cross material, which
has been turned over to the local Chap
ter. The value of this work is not
confined to the value of the Red Cross
supplies furnished from the institution,
but it has resulted in training more
than two hundred young women for
this work, more than half of whom
have graduated, and will be prepared
to take the leadership in similar work
in the communities where they may be
engaged next year.
The classes in cookery have devoted
the last six weeks of the year to a
careful study of the most economical
selection and preparation of food sup
plies, always with reference to their
real food value.
There has been organized a syste-
matte course of lessons in the econom-
zeal preparation and use Of food which
they will be prepared to give in their
schools at the opening of the next
school year. This training has also
been given with the idea of making
them helpful to the housekeepers in
the community where they may be
teaching. 1t occurred to, me that this
might be of public interest in your
community. L. D. HARVEY.

outbursts of the power" or "pow-

from one of these churches, but the
shouting and singing can be plainly
heard at our house these calm summer
evenings. A few nights ago a thump-
ing noise was heard in the direction
of the church, as of bunch of horses
kicking in a barn, followed by loud
crash. Next day it developed that the
noise was caused by the preacher, who
was engaged in jumping from the floor
to a chair and thence to the top of a
table and again to the floor The crash
was caused by his missing the table in
one of his gyrations, giving him bad
fall. | have witnessed many weird
