AMERICAN ALLIES AGAINST
GERMANY-WHAT THEY CAN DO

With Cuba, Brazil and Guatemala
virtual allies of u own country
against Germany, it is interesting to
compare the relative help they can
render us. According to figures pro-
duced by the National Geographic
society, Guatemala has a peace army
of 1000 men, and a reserve force OF
between $4,000 and $1,000 men.
The total available but unorganized
military strength is $4,000 men.
Brazil's peace army af $4,000 men
can be supplemented by a thoroughly
trained police force of 10000 and a
reserve army of than 100000.
The total available unorganized
strength of this nation is 100000
from a population that is slightly less
than o%ne-fourth that of the United
States.
Cuba has an army of 1000 men
and 444 officers and her unorganized
available military strength OF 45O,-
900 men may not seem of vast i'm
portance where, battles are being
fought between millions. Neverthe-

line and numerous bays and CULTS
would have been dangerous as secret
bases for our enemy had Cuba re-
NAMED neutral.
AS to exports, coffee is the chief
export of Guatemala, while hides,
rubber, bananas, sugar and chicle will
constitute a great help to u armies
in the field. Brazil produces these
same things and has valuable mining
deposits. Cuba produces copper and
manganese, both extremely valuable
in the manufacture Of munitions.
In all of these countries the aid
furnished by their harbors and coal
ing stations will play an important
part in our naval facilities. The ma
Wy of Brazil will also be an import
ant adjunct to the navies now COM
batting the submarine menace, and
no doubt her two powerful dread
noughts will see active service in

COAL DEALERS URGE
ECONOMY IN USE OF FUEL

1t is beyond dispute that Ameri.
cans waste everything they can Sc
cure in abundance. They waste coal
in normal times, much of it, but econ
omy is now thrust upon them. Ev-
en- the dealers, while not wishing peo-
pie to get frighted over the matter
unduly, are asking their patrons to
buy and use no more coal than they
have to have of necessity.
The following letter is being sent
to the patrons of one of Salt Lake
City's leading coal dealers:
May %, 1917.
To the Trade:
Due to various causes, among
which might be mentioned:
First-The scarcity of oil;
Second-The lack of boats by
which coal may be imported;
Third-The extraordinary increase
in the demand from large consumers,
such as smelters, mining companies,
manufacturing companies and sugar
plants; and
Notwithstanding of labor; the
producing coal companies find them
selves unable to keep pace with the
situation.
With this in mind, we think it
timely to ask each retailer to, as
much as possible, conserve his coal
supply. We also advocate co-opera-
ton with the railroad companies, the
operating heads of which are work
ing as an advisory committee with
the interstate commerce commission
in the handling of equipment, and to
see that cars are unloaded promptly,
that they are not misused, and to ex-
pedite the return Of empties to the
mines for reloading.
We also think it advisable for each
retailer to urge upon his customers
the necessity of the strictest econo-
my in their coal usage, asking them,
if possible, to use n bucketful
where they ordinarily used two.
We believe that concerted action
along these lines by all those men
toned will have a material effect in
relieving the situation during the
coming fall and winter.
At the present time there is no
doubt but that the demand for coal
far exceeds the possible supply.
We nope you will give this matter
serious and earnest consideration.
Very truly yours,
UNITED STATES FUEL CO.,

PRESIDENT WILSON
ASSURES THE FARMERS
Spring Wheat Growers to Be Protect
ed in Marketing Their
Crops.

Washington Spring wheat grow
ers of the northwest were assured by
President Wilson in a personal inter
view that the government intends to
protect farmers in marketing their
crops and that prices will be guaran-
teed high enough to stimulate produc-
ton. The farmers representatives
were told that the government hopes
permanent marketing reforms may
grow out of wartime measures.
1t is not the present intention to fix
minimum prices, the president said, as
the government believes production
prices will remain high without put
ting this measure into effect.
The callers told the president that
farmers are anxious that grain mar
ket reforms may come from the eX-
perience gained by the food admin
istration. Sentiment among farmers
is strong, they said, for federal opera
ton of grain elevators and other stor-
age facilities used in interstate trade.
The services of the country's suf-
fragists in the elimination Of food
waste were offered to Herbert c.
Hoover by the National American
Woman Suffrage association, which
has organized a suffrage thrift league
with Mrs. Walter McNab Miller at it's
head.
Emil Level, food commissioner for
the permanent French mission here,
has presented to Mr.. Hoover Frances
grain needs for the next year. His
country, he said, would require about
100, 900, 600 bushels of grain, as
much of it wheat as can be sup
piled. The French do not eat corn
bread, but are now mixing a heavy
percentage of cornmea ! with their
wheat flour in milling. They are mill
ing IS per cent of the whole wheat
kernel.
Allied food purchases are now CO.
in London by a commission
of food executives representing Eng
land, France and Italy. The appor-
tionment is worked out in London and
each of the executives buys here di-
rect. After the new American food
administration is formed Mr.. Hoover
will pass or all allied food purchases
before they are made here.
A food research commission will be
named by Mr.. Hoover as 500 as the
administration is established. 1t will
be composed of many of the coun-
tries food experts and will study diet
and other related subjects.

WHERE AMERICAN TROOPS
WILL TRAIN:

The National Geographic society
has just issued a bulletin on the mill
tary camp at Chalon, France, where
our boys will receive their training.
The great camp Of Chalons lies mid
way between Rheims and Chalons-
sur-Marne and less than 100 miles in
an air line from Paris. The camp
embraces five square miles (29,650
acres), and was established about
sixty years ago by Napoleon III, and
from 1857 to 1870 was an important
military center. The troops detrain
at the little station on Mourmelon,
and the camp lies to the left of the
railway line.
"Chalons-sur-Marne," says the bull
letin, 1.-The city of 10000 inhabitants
from which the camp derives its
name. will ever be gratefully asso-
ciated in the minds of enlightened
people with the great battle Of Cha
Ions, fought in 451 A. D. This bat
tie, recorded by Sir Edward Greasy as
one of the Fifteen decisive battles of
the world was fought by the Romans
and the Visigoths rs allies against
the devastating hordes of Huns un-
der Alfalfa, the 'Scourge of God Of
whom it was declared that grass new
err grew again where once the hoof Of
his horse had trod. Attalia's host is
said to have numbered 100000. To
oppose the invaders, the Visigoths,
Romans, Franks, Italians, Burgun-
dams all laid aside their W differ
ences and the Huns were driven back
across the Rhine after sustaining los
ses variously estimated at between
1000 to 100000 warriors. This
battle settled the fate of western Eu-
rope, insuring the perpetuation of it's
control by Christian races rather
than by the pagan Huns from Scyth-
ia.

SUGAR COMPANY HELPS
EMPLOYEES BUY BONDS

Liberty bonds have gained on
siderable Roadway during the past
two or three weeks. Large firms
and corporations all over the country
are doing their share, men of wealth,
men of moderate circumstances and
men who in worldly goods are poor,
are buying liberty bonds and thus as
sisting or doing their bit. The board
OF directors of the U~tah-Idaho Sugar
company, with the desire to encour-
age their employees to help the gov
eminent, have made arrangements
to advance all their employees money
so that it will be possible for them
to buy liberty bonds. They will be
allowed to pay back the money lin
monthly installments, and no great
err interest than the bonds pay will
be charged them. This is a patriotic
and great step that the company has
made and might we'll be taken as an
example and suggestion by other
firms

THE PROBLEM OF BREAD.
Marketing Low-Grade Potatoes Sub
shutting for Wheat.

AS a food for mankind the potato
ranks very high, and to most people
it seems almost indispensable. There
fore, in the present situation of in
creasing food shortage, the subject
of how to make the fullest use OF
all the potatoes grown is a very I'M
portant one.
The potato being about IS per cent
water, can retain it's value as a food
only under proper conditions of tenn
perature and ventilation, and then
only for a limited time. For this rea-
son the problem of converting such
a valuable, but perishable. article of
food into one that can be kept indefi-
nitely regardless of climatic condi-
lions, and transported under a reduc-
ton in tonnage to one-fourth of its
original weight, has worried many
minds. In the solving Of this prob
lem for practical purposes, two points
are most essential, namely, the cost OF
manufacturing must be low, and the
products obtained must be of COM
mercial quality.
The South American Indians were
the first people who dried potatoes.
Their method was to freeze them and
grind the frozen potatoes into meal.
One of the best known products
made from potatoes in this country
is potato starch, which is gained by
washing the starch out of raw pota-
toes. Many starch factories were in
operation in Maine, Wisconsin and
other states until about twelve years
ago, when the business became I'M
profitable Since the war the price
of potato starch has advanced suf-
ficiently to encourage it's manufacture
again..
Various factories to manufacture
dessicated or %dehydrated potatoes for
camping a nd hunting parties and
Alaskan trade have been in successful
operation in different parts OF the
country for a number OF years, but
the processes in use were too costly
to produce them more than relatively
small local benefits. Necessity be-
ing the mother of most inventions; it
remained for the Germans to perfect
simple processes by which large
quantities of potatoes are converted
into valuable commercial food prod
ucts at a cost low enough to permit
open competition with other products.
War Bread.
In the present shortage of wheat
flour it is well to know how we
supplement the same, and here we
find that this very same potato flour
which can be easily and cheaply man
ufactured from unstable potatoes
is the kind that is used in making the
war bread Of the central powers. BY
mixing up to ten per cent natural po-
tato flour with wheat flour a better
bread is obtained. In case of short
age of wheat flour as high as thirty
per cent may be added without dam
aging results, but when a large per
cent is used the bread becomes sog-
gy.
Such potatoes as are not fit for
human food can be made into flakes

PERMITTING Ran WITH EWES
Not Advisable to Let Him Run With
Flock Longer Than Six Weeks
to Prevent Accidents.

Never let the ram run with the ewes

butt them around and them to

They will mostly all get with lamb
sooner than this, but 1t Is best to keep
him in long enough to be sure.
