THE NEW Eco HOUSE
RHYNSBURGER'S PLANT is EN-
TIRELY TRANSFORMED.

Out at the old BOX Factory" since
burger Co, the appearance Of things
on that part of Ninth avenue east has
changed considerably. In the trans
formation from the making of wagon
boxes to the handling of poultry, eggs
and general country produce, and all
under sanitary conditions, is a long
reach and this is the revolution that
has been going on there lately.
The old frame sheds at the west end
of the factory building have been en-
tirely removed and in general the
rest of the exterior is about the same,
but on the interior the entire plant
has been thoroughly renovated and
the old machinery removed, the walls
whitened over the old paint, and the
property put in thorough shape for
the various departments of their bus
mess.
The switching facilities of the rail
road companies are brought right to
the south doors of their building, so
that it is now possible to load cars
directly from the building and there
is room enough so that several cars
can be loaded at one time. All of
the work will be handled here and at
the comDany's headquarters on First
avenue east. At present there are
about twenty men employed at the
box factory but as the season adj
vances and the changes and altera-
tions are completed more will be
added.
The present season promises to be
one of the largest in the history of
this enterprising company and they
are now amply prepared to handle it.

MuST WORK TOGETHER.

If man does a lot of advertising
but is shiftless in his business meth
DDS, and fails to live up. to all the
agreements of his publicity, his eff
forts will fail.
Likewise the enthusiasts who start
some movement or form some kind
of an organization, and then expect
the newspapers to push it to success
are doomed to disappointment,-Or
more often to a condemnation of the
newspapers.
No cause can be won by publicity
alone. There must be personal eff
fort and the greatest cooperation
behind it, High sounding titles and
Honorable" offices are all right in
their way, but nothing succeeds like
work.
Publicity is the great lubricant of
any public movement, but to expect
the machine TO move because it is
well oiled is the folly that sticks in
too many heads.
There must be the motive power,
either Of brains or sinew, and they
must be used to advantage to gain
the goal for which advertising breaks
the path and oils the track.

ZEPPELIN LIZ DESTROYED

of the crop-from to 10 percent-has
been used for human food. This
amount may be estimated in normal
times at about 20O,0a0,0O0 bushels a
year. Not over percent has been
exported in peace times. A relatively
slight increase in the corn acreage,
therefore, will place many millions of
bushels more of human food at the
disposal of the world without inter-
fering in any way with the feed need
ed for the support of live stock.
In the past, with an abundance of
grain of other kinds, corn has not been
in great demand for human cOsump-
ton. But with other grains no longer
abundant, circumstances will compel
more general recognition of the value
OF corn as human food. The depart
ment Is urging strongly the wider use
of corn in the diet. 1t is the best sub
stitute for wheat that we have and
can be utilized in breads, mushes and
a variety of other ways. We should
make every effort to avail ourselves
of it.
PLANT corn then should he the
motto of every farmer in section
suited to the crop.

"Zeebrugge is eight miles north of
Druges by rail and six miles by way
of the Canal Maritime, splendid
modern waterway $50 feet wide. ac-
commodating seagoing vessels having
a draft of 25 feet This canal termi-

winds of this coast by massive ores!
cent shaped mole of concrete and mas
onry a mile and a quarter in length.
Growing the inner or land side of the
mole are extensive warehouses, eleyat-

These elaborate harbOr improve

total cost exceeding eight million dol

Before the war there was a regular
tri-weekly steamship passenger ser
vice between Zeebrugge and Hull,
England, during July, August and Sep
TENDER, and bi-weekly service for
the other months of the year. The
passage usually requires 10 hours, and
the one way fare was 1915.
"Zeebrugge was the outgrowth Of
the reviving prosperity of Bruges. Be
fore the world war catastrophe this
once great mart of the lowlands had
began to take on a new lease of life,
with its thriving marekt gardens, its
ceremic factory and its extensive lace
works employing 5000 hands. Of

ONE HALE CUP oE MILK.

Half a cup of milk-whole, skinned
or sour-a seemingly trifiing matter
hardly worth the trouble to keep or
use.
In many households, quite a little
milk is wasted left uncovered in
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been SKINNED off-al-
lowed to souT-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now if every home-there are 20
100000 of them-should waste on the
average one half cut daily, 1t would
mean waste of 100000 quarts daily
-912. 100000 quarts year-the total
product of more than 100000 cows.
II takes lot of grass and grain to
make that much milk and an army of
people to produce and deliver it.
The U. s. Department of Agriculture
Washington, ID. c. or your State Agri-
cultural College will tell you how to
use leftover milk-sweet, SKINNED or
sour.

WATCH THE EXPENDITURES.

The government mas thousands of
millions of dollars to spend in pre-
pairing for war. The temptation
will be great to spend it carelessly,
extravagantly. But every dollar
spent must come out of the pockets
of the people, and the fact that the
necessary expenses are so large is all
the more reason for using the utmost
care.
For instance, the Department of
Agriculture has asked for million
dollars for a food survey. Undoubt
eddy there may be some advantageous
features to such survey. But the
government has vast amount Of in
formation now available. 1t gets
regular reports on the quantities OF
eggs, butter and meat in cold storage.
The grain markets have elaborate
statistics on the amount of grain in
elevators and mills. Were an elab-
crate census of stuffs in stores and in
farmers hands TO be taken. much
time would be consumed and before
the figures were available the new
crops would have made the old fig
ures worthless.
1t is imperative that all expendi-
ture proposals be scrutinized careful
ly and that the money be spent eff
GENTLY. Waste at such a time would
be nothing short of criminal.
