Official Inconsistency

Every official i'm the various
departments of state and nation
is urging the "peopul" to eat
less and wear and do more.
This is very beautiful in theo-
ry. But the salaried fellows
who are giving the advice so
freely are not going to practic
what they preach.
Here comes Herbert Hoover,
the Presidents food supply ex-
pert. Hoover says, among 9TH
er things, that America eats too
much.
On the heels of his appeal to
/ the housewives of the country
on food economy, Hoover, today
gave his views of eating i'm the
United States. Here are some
of his conclusions
Every one in the country eats
more than is necessary.
Practically every household
wastes food stufls.
Women control 80 per cent
OF the food consumption and
should introduce spirit of sac
rifice for the good of the coun-
try.
Women should learn the fun
damentals of diet.
Hotel waste is one of the
worst i'm the country.
The fourth meal-the late
supports one of the worst ex-
travagances in the country.
Hoover's remedy for tenden-
cy to waste is as follows:
BY a sufficiently extensive
organization of committees in
states, counties and townships
and by the use of women all
over the country, we might in
troduce into every household q
feeling of sacrifice in the coun-
try during the war.
We wonder how much Friend
Hoover is going to sacrifice dur
ing the war. Is he going to
drop the porter-house steak, the
two for a quarter cigar and such
things which have been absolu.
tely necessary to his existance
heretofore? We will bet {
peck of potatoes against lib
erty bond loan that Hoover will
not sacrifice even little bit
High-salaried men are send
ing ont (for free publication il
the newspapers urgent requ
ests asking the public to save OF
this, that and other things
Wonder how much sacrifice
: these fat-salaried men have
shown since the war started
Wonder if they have cut dowr
their meat course or abolished
: pie at the supper table. Mo-
on your life.

During the time he was station

stories Of early life at the post.
He spoke Indian and French as
well as his native tongue. In

where he resided unit 1911 since
which time he has made his
home in Britton with his daugh-

MILITARY TRAINING is
A GOOD THING


proved self-respect, physical
development, recognition of au-
thority, and a better rounded
ed out young manhood, the mill
tary training has everything to
commend it. There is a great
difference between the three con
secutive years required in some
European countries and what is
contemplate here. Nor is there
any probability that the Ameri-
can spirit would ever lead our
officers to assume or tolerate
that arrogance and personal
abuse of their interiors in rank
which has existed for Years in
the army life OF Germany. This
is Illustrated in story told a
few days ago by a private in the
national guard of a southern
state, which had Just returned
fromseveral months on the bor-
der. When they first reached
Texas not few of the members
were fresh volunteers. with con-
siderable to learn. Their COM
nander d regular army man who
had been many years in the ser
vice, when making an lnspec-
ton at two o'clock in the morn
ing, found one of the new men
who had been on sentry duty,
asleep. Next morning the Of
fender WAS called before the Of
ticer, who read him the regula-
tions and the punishment pre-
scribed in such cases. He did
so in a firm but not nnklndly
manner. Then he said to the
boy: DO you realize that when
on sentry duty you occupied not
only a place OF utmost response
bility. but the highest position
in the country? ~
lnasmuch as the camp was
many miles from the border
with thousands of troops be-
tween himself and Mexico the
private admitted it had not oc-
Cured to him. But you did
continued the officer, for as sen
tinel you had authority to stop
and challenge the president OF
the United States" The young
man accepted the light punish
ment imposed with grateful
heart and became one OF the

illustrates the need of proper
training, but of that spirit OF

Grocer Pays His Customers

A grocer i'm Fond du Lac, Wis.
has introduced an inretesting
system. He calls it the cash
and carry system"
If his customers pay cash for
their goods he throws off $ per
cent. If they carry their pur-
chases home he throws off an
other five per cent If the
/ family grocery bill is S25 a mon
tn that means a saving of $3.50
which would make a tidy adj
dition to the saving bank bal
ance says the Duluth Herald.
The plan it is reported takes
we'll with the grocers customers
j Moreover he is tickled with it
himself. it saves him the ex-
pense of putting ON more deliv-
cry wagons, which he would
have to do if he hadn't adopt
ed this plan. 1t has increased
his trade. 1t has given him
/ the benifit of cash in the till in
stead of credit on the books.
1t isn't exactly new of course
There are shops that do some
thing like the same thing; that
is, by selling for cash only and
doing no delivering, they can
and do sell goods cheaper, and
many take advantage of the OPP
portunity to be thrifty
The cost of living is vastly
higher than it used to be before
the days of credit and telephone
ordering, when mother used to
put basket on her arm and 90
shopping. And one of the rea-
sons why the cost of living is
higher is that credit and deliv-
cry both cost money, which, of
course the consumers have to
pay.

LINMAN IS
v ELECTROCUTED

Larry in regard to the accident
could be learned The story a.
told by one of the trainmen was
10 the effect that the high watef

ported a guy wire for one of the
poles, and Williams was sent to
fix it.. He took one end of the guy
wire and climbed the pole to
tasten it.
The other end of the wire was
in the water. In carrying the
wire up the pole it in some way
came in contact with a trans
mission wire. One end being in
the water made a perfect circuit
and the entire voltage of the
transmission wire passed through
Williams body, killing him in
stantly.
The railroad officials sent
word to have the undertakers
come up after the body and it was
brought to this efty Sunday and
