MANY KINDS or BREAD.

Washington star: Eechnut bread mas
h,en mentioned in some of the reports
from Germany. Such bread has n
strange sound ana no doubt would have
q strange taste 20 modern men. yet II
Is believed u be one OF the very old
forms Of bread. II not the oldest. II
teecbnut bread is being made in Ger
many. ii represents n return TO very
carly principles IN baking. There is q
difference of opinion among archaeolo-
gists and ethnologists and plain histor-
ians OF the habits and manners Of
ancient peoples, as to whether the ear
iest form of bread was prepared from
beechnuts or acorns.
f:eechnuta and acorns make good
bread. and baked cakes Of crushed
ac,rns or acorn meat have been eaten
by the Indians of America from i'm
memorial times and are still eaten by
certain tribes OF backward Indians in
the Pacific coast regions. II is said
that after the tannin. which is present
ia the acorn and which gives to II the
familiar and astringcnt taste. has been
extracted by boiling in several waters.
the meal of the acorn is sweet and nu-
tritious.
For many centuries. in remote times
part ef the Egyptian population of the
Nile valley made bread from the seed
Of the lotus. blue flower Of the pond
lily family. which grew abundantly in
sht mud along the river and came up
in myrisds on the wet lands left by the
receding waters after the annual mum
nation.
In the north Of Europe ana pariicu-
larry in Norway ana Sweden. the peo-
ple, ages ago. made bread by taking
various mosses and. after drying them,
reducing them to powder. Though pal
atable. this bread. 50 It is said. had but
little nutritiye value and the poor
people took to mixing cereal -four with
the pulverized moss. Bread of this
Kind is sometimes used 10y the peasants
Of the north of. Europe today. and at
various times during the war there have
appeared reports Of the use of moss
bread in Germany.

FARM HANDS GET $45
A MONTH, WITH BOARD
That's In South Dakota, Where Bump
err Crops Are Predicted.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Because OF a
shortage of farm hands it has become
necessary In many parts OF South Da-
kota for the women and boys of the
households and even the girls to work
In the fields. So the farmers and their
wives and children are hard at work
putting In what Is believed to he the
greatest acreage OF spring wheat in the
history OF the state.
With the prospect that prices for
foodstuffs will continue high during
the war the farmers have decided to in
crease their crop acreage. With ia
vorable season South Dakota will pro.
duce this year the greatest crop OF
foodstutfs I'm its history. The residents
OF towns are preparing To have larger
vegetable gardens than ever before. so
there Is every indication that the state
will make "a new record in crop pro-
duction this year.
Farm hands ready for work demand
from S35 TO $40 month and board.
and In many instances the farmers pay
these prices Only few years ago
good farm hands could be had from
$12 TO $40 a month and board, and
those who received the higher figure
were the envied Of their fellows.

NATIVES LOOTED SHIP
DRIVEN IN BY A U BOAT
Battle Between Crew and Beach
Combers, During Which One
OF Latter Was Killed.

New York.-Driven by pitiless tigers
OF the sea" into the clutches of equally
pitiless human tigers lurking along the
beaches OF northern Spain was the
fate OF the officers and crew of the
schooner Phineas W. Sprague, the cap
tain and chief officer of which YES.
sci arrived In an American port on
board passenger liner from Cadiz.
According to Captain +. A. Jarvis,
the Sprague was pursued by a German
q boat while coasting through the bay
OF Biscay and was forced to seek ref
uge inside the three mile limit There
the vessel was caught by a treacher-
Gus current and thrown on the beach
near Carbonares, Spain.
No sooner did the residents of that
part Of King Alfonso's domain see that
the schooner was helpless, declares the
captain, than they boarded the vessel
In droves and commenced to loot her.
A battle between the crew OF the
schooner and the beach combers en-
sued, during which one Of the latter
was killed. The Sprague was a total
loss.
On board the same vessel which
brought Captain Jarvis and his chief
officer back to this country were
several other survivors OF submarine
disasters, including Captain Phillip III.
Johnson and twenty-one men OF the
steamship Zwsrd and FIVE men from
the schooner Edwin II. Hunt, both OF
which were destroyed by U boats.

A RAILROAD ARMY
Will Build Up Lines of Traffic In
France.
NINE REGIMENTS CALLED.

They Will BE Part of Regular Force,
and at Head Of Each Regiment a.
Colonel VIII Be Engineer Officer Of
Army-censtruetlon VIII Be Main
Work.
New York.-Need for expert railroad
men to repair the lines In France Is 80
pressing that an urgent call has been
sent out by the RAILROADS war board to
the various roads of the country for
assistance In organizing nine regiments
VI railroad men to go at once to France.
They win be part OF the regular
army, and at the head of each regiment
as colonel will be an engineer officer
OF the army.
The plans of the board call for five
construction regiments, one shop or re-
pair regiment and three operating regi-
mepts. Construction will be the main
work of the men sent over, but the re-
pair and operating needs are hardly
less immediate. A notice sent out by
the railroads war board says:
The French railways are badly run
down. They need more or less complete
rehabilitation. France has no men who
can be spared for this work. She wants
all her men at the front Before we can
train men to go into the trenches we
can supply Frances railroad wants,
and we can do 1t practically immedi-
FOL An 4,
soldiers, so it will be necessary for the
railroad forces to enter the army.
I'VE propose to make up five con-
struction regiments of six companies
each to do this rehabilitation. Each
regiment will have an engineer officer
and another officer from the army as
an adjutant. The other officers will he
made up OF railroad men, except that
the commissary will be provided by
the United States army Each lieuten.
ant colonel Will be chief engineer of
q railroad or some one else of similar
experience The captains will he taken
from the engineers OF maintenance OF
way, the lieutenants from supervisors
or road masters and the nOncommiS.
stoned officers from track and bridge
foremen. The privates will be track
laborers.
The pressing need just now is fOr
officers for these regiments. They will
require five chief engineers, thirty en-
glneers of maintenance of way. ninety
supervisors or road masters, sixty track
foremen and thirty bridge foremen
Each company will have $50 track la
borers and fourteen bridge carpenters
as privates.
1.-THE next important requirement OF
the French railways is for shop forces
They are short Of men to repair their
locomotives. 1t is proposed TO organize
a shop regiment, TO be made up the
same way AS the construction reg
ments, except that the lieutenant colo
mel will be a superintendent of motive
power, the captains will be master me
chanics, the lieutenants will be shoI
fOremen and the noncommissioned Off
GERS gang foremen. The rest OF the
company will be made up Of boiler
makers, machinists, blacksmiths anG

A PAIL MAY SAVE A CITY.

"They also serve who only stand and
wait"
We cannot all be heroes on the
battlefield. Nor can we all wear gold
braid or padded khaki.
Our service may not lie in paths Of
glory, but every true American can do
his bit
War is on. II is real; il is earnest; it
is uncertain. The fact that the theatre
of the great war has been viewed at
long range from our shores should not
blunt us to our new dangers.
A constant menace will be fire. War
fare is never dainty, and explosions
and incendiarism may levy heavy tax
on American property.
To counterbalance the greater ex-
posture Of American property by reason
of war, there should be greater vigil
lance and care by American citizens.
If the number of fires under normal
conditions can be reduced by public
cooperation, American fire INSURANCE
interests will be strengthened to meet
the prospective loses arising from the
direct or indirect consequences OF war.
Here is a superb opportunity for the
American householder to serve his
country. The thrill of martial music
he he ~ thrnnnc
may be lacking, but the civilian who in
these pregnant moments, protects his
home and community against fire is
every inch soldier.
Every fire is potential conflagration
and a small flame starting accidentally
in modest home may eventually
reach some hidden cache of explosives,
secretly stored in nearly every COM
munity, and the casualties may be
worse even than the carnage Of battle.
Property owners and householders
should arm themselves with proper fire
fighting equipment. Every family
should be specifically warned and in
structed. Every organization now
mastering for local defense should in
clude explicit directions to the COM
munity to exercise the utmost caution
at this time.
If grenades, acid eXtinguishers and
other patented devices are too expen-
sive, handy pail of water may save a
city.
The patriots now organizing in vari-
Gus communities, eager to serve Uncle
Sam, can raise no stronger or simpler
defense for their homes than corps
of individual fire fighters, alert and
ready to check at the outset this ravag-
ing foe.
Owners of large manufacturing prop
critics should be sure of their watch
men. Every precaution should be
taken to prevent fires by accident or
design.

roDAY,s ANNIVERSARIES.

The Ordar OF Fools. which had =
large membership in Europe IA this
fifteenth century, was founded 6SS
years ago today by AdoaphuR, Count
of Cleves. Although the sociefy's
name was not highly f1attezing to its
members. it was serious ofganiza-
ton and similar In scope and purpose
to the Odd Fellows, Masons and sim
liar modern fraternal associations.
The Order of Fools was composed OF
noblemen and gentlemen OF the high-
est rank, and the object of their or-
ganization was to carry on charitable
and humane work. The insignia o.
this pioneer fraterna1 society consists
ed of the figure Of fool or Jester en-
broidered on the left side of the man
ties. Annual meetings were held at
C1eves, when matters relating to the
welfare of the order were discussed
very much after the manner prevail
ing in present day fraternal conven-
tions The order fiourished in Ger
many until the sixteenth century when
1t seems to have languished and died
out (The above, Of course, refers
to the official Order Of Fools. The
unofficial order of fools still hourisi1er
In every land and in every clirne.)

barge on food exports and practically
wiped out the big exporters business
in rice. macaroni, cheese and other
milk products, fresh and dried fruits,
oils, chestnuts, Vegetables, forage and
fish, preserved in oil.
Meals in public, places are rfgidly
regulated. The serving of butter or
cream, or dishes garnished with eggs,
is unlawfu1. NO lunch of whatever
price can contain more than two dish
es, no meal la carte can contain
more than three. Railway restaurants
may open only one hour before the
departure of the first train and re-
main open only one hour after the de-
partufe Of the last train,
