AUTOMOBILE TOURING.

The custom of automobile vacation
tours In summer is revolutionizing
many of our business and social con-
ditions. There are summer resorts
that have been nearly killed by the
change in the customs Of their former
patrons. They used to be accessible
enough by railroad, but II 1t is not a
good automobile country with roads
well kept up and decently accessible,
the motor crowd simply won't come
there. AS result summer cottages
stand empty, and hotels can scarcely
pay their expenses.
Meanwhile a new business has
sprung up Of catering to the automo-
bile travelling public. In the older
parts of the country little inns that
were flourishing in stagecoach days
and then had to quit business, have
opened up again. A golden stream
of travellers descends on them, pro-
vided they have the sense and enter
prise to make the tourists comfort
able. They blossom out with new
paint and new furniture, and acquire
a prosperity startling to the old resi-
dents.
Long distance travelling is popular
On any day on the favorite roads you
will see cars from states thousand
miles away. These cars are not nee
essarily the more costly makes on
which you can slip over rough roads
with the least possible motion They
may be the cheapest grade Of ma
chimes. But the tourists are good
for it, and II they get bumped by
rough surfaces and lack Of shock alb
sorbers, they call it beneficial for
their sluggish livers.
Many of these outfits take along
tents and camp in the open. They
put up with some inconveniences, but
they acquire an intimate knowledge
of the country, escape tedium, and
see new things every day. They come
home brown as gypsies and have had
their moneys worth. AS vacations
go, 1t is a pretty inexpensive one. 1t
is a restless age, but habit that
keeps people thus out of doors is on
the whole very beneficial.

LIBERTY LOAN FACTS.

Savings accounts in the belligerent
countries of Europe have increased
in greater proportion than ever since
the outbreak of the war. What does
that mean.
There is but one danger-the peo-
pie are saving from their current in
comes. Their current incomes are
greater than ever before because of
the huge purchases necessitatd by the
war, because of the government &C
tivity in all lines of industry, and be-
cause of the war loans which have
been issued.
In asking you to buy a Liberty
bond the United States government
does not ask you to spend your mon
ey. It offers you splendid oppor-
tunity to save and to invest.
The effect of the successful sub
scription of this second Liberty loan
Gas of the first) and the huge pur-
chases necessitated by our govern
ment and by our allies in this coun-
try, have and will create situation
where every man and every woman
who is capable of working may have
more work than ever before in, their
lives, and at good pay.
The great selling campaign now be-
ing carried on to dispose of Liberty
bonds of the second Liberty loan Of
1917 will stimulate more thrift and
more saving by the American people.
The result will be. that you, who now
buy Liberty bonds from your current
savings, will find you are acquiring
the saving habit, and you need have
no fear that your income will be cur
tailed during this period.

THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN OF
1917.

ITO own bonds of the United
States-at such a time-as many as
each of us can possibly affords
badge of honor. There should be
Liberty Bonds in every home"
Such is the sentiment Of former
President Theodore Roosevelt, as
wired to the Liberty Loan committee
for this district.
Colonel Roosevelt goes further in
his appeal for general subscription to
the bonds.
"It is the duty of every man and
Of every woman in this country, who
can possibly afford to do so. to buy
Liberty Bonds in order that guns, am
munition, food and clothes may be
promptly and freely furnished to our
soldiers who go to the front.
"The highest human service is that
of the man who offers his life to his
country. Next to that comes the SER
vices in factory and farm and office
which help to keep the great national
war machinery efficiently working,
and the outstanding and fundamental
need, without which nothing can be
accomplished is the need for money;
money from rich and poor; money in
large, sums and small.
"There is every reason for buying
these bonds. The patriotic reason is
enough But here In addition there
is offered the best security in the
world an investment backed by all
the credit Of the government and peo-
pie of the United States, We our
selves-we the people-are behind
every promise our government makes
because in the last analysis 1t is we

Recipes Given
For War Breads

(Recipes by Anne Mccormick,
district home demonstration agent.)
The following recipes are given in
the hope that they may be helpful
in lessening the use of wheat. Try
one Of these recipes and have next
Wednesday wheatless day.
A cereal which may be substituted
for wheat in bread is rye. The fol-
lowing recipe for "Old Glory" bread
is much used in France at the pres
ent time:
Three cups rye, 6 cups white flour,
3 cups whole wheat, 1 teaspoon salt,
A cups water, 1 yeast cake and 8
tablespoons shortening.
Add salt and shortening to boil
ing water. Cool to lukewarm and
add yeast cake dissolved in little
of the lukewarm water. Sift all of
the flour together and knead until
smooth and soft. Let rise in warm
place until double the size. Knead
and divide into four loaves. Let rise
as before and bake one hour.
Barley Bread
Barley is the oldest cereal in the
world used for bread making. Bar
ley flour, not meal, should be used
in bread making.
Two cups lukewarm water, 1 cake
compressed yeast, teaspoons salt,
2 tablespoons shortening (may be
omitted), cups barley flour, cups
white flour.
Use same process as for other
bread. This recipe makes two small
loaves.
Steamed Brown Bread
This is a very delicious inexpen-
sive bread and is always enjoyed as

Electric Fan in
A New Roll

The electric fan has many novel
and useful tasks to do besides keep
ing the room cool in summer. Its
latest task is to assail the high cost
of living by assisting in drying fruits
and vegetables for winter consump-
tion.
According to the U. s. department
of agriculture, 1t has been found that
many sliced vegetables and fruits
when placed in long trays feet by
foot and stacked in two tiers end
to end before an electric fan, can
be dried to the requisite dryness
within "a hours. Some require much
less time. For instance, sliced string
beans and shredded sweet potatoes
will dry before fan running at a
moderate speed within few hours.
In many cities the electric fan will
cost not more than one-fourth of a
cent an hour to run. The fan should
be placed close to the stacks of trays
and they should not be filled so full
that the air cannot pass freely
through them. The fan method has
a marked advantage in that the prod
uct keeps cool owing to evaporation
while 1t is being dried, thus tending
to retain the color and reduce spoil
age.
