BREAD IN THE HOME.
Government Specialists Test Its Value
and the Best Way of Preparing 1t.

If home baked bread were uniformly
well made it would be used more extern
siycly than at present in place OF more
expensive foods, say specialists in the
U. =. department of agriculture, and this
would be a distinct economy. From the
standpoint of nutrition it makes very lit
tic difference whether breadstuffs are
served in the form of bread or in the
form OF breakfast cereals. side dishes
with meat, or desserts. A man engaged
in moderate muscular work can profit
ably consume about three -fourths OF a
pound day of breadstuffs in any one
OF these forms. This quantity is the
equivalent of one pound of baked bread.
As a matter of fact, however, it is not
probable that in the average family this
quantity is consumed and the deficiency
is made up by the use of more expensive
substances. OF course, bread alone is not
sufficient for the maintenance of health,
but from both an economical and hy-
gienic point of view should be used more
extensively than it usually is.
In new publication of the depart
ment, farmers bulletin S07, detailed di-
rections for the making of bread in the
home are given, together with number
of convenient recipes for home made bis
cult, rolls and bread in which rice or
potatoes are used with flour. The bull
letin also gives scorecard by means of
which it is suggested the housewife can
estimate the merit of her product.

FLAG RAISED
AT RANDOLPH
A Patriotic Demonstration
Held Despite Rainy
Weather
PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE NAMED
Rev. A. w. Hewitt and Rev.
Fraser Metzger Were
Among Speakers

Randolph, May 2.-The flag raising on
Tuesday took place at about o'clock,
when the band came out in the rain and
the ceremony was begun by their playing
America As the flag was raised the
ram was coming down, but it did not
dampen the courage, and as soon as the
flag was in place, three cheers were Civ
en- by the company assembled and the
band led the way to Music hall, where
the speeches and town meeting were held.
The first number here was also selec-
ton by the band, after which n L. Boy
den gave the purpose of the meeting and
the clerk was called upon to read the ar
ticle in the warning. Upon the stage
were seated the band and delegation
from the u. S. Grant post, Rev. A. w.
Hewitt of Plainfield, Prin. Green of the
Center and Rev. Fraser Metzger.
Following the reading of the article,
motion was made to suspend the bust
ness temporarily and listen to an address
by Rev. A. w. Hewitt, who upon being
introduced, gave a very good talk upon
the war, giving the conditions of the
countries which were now engaged in
this warfare. In his remarks, he said
that as the Germans went forth to their
conflict they passed an hour reading the
Bible and in prayer and went out sing
ing "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" be-
lieving that victory would be theirs. Mr..
Hewitt predicted long war and told of
the devastating effects of the same and
appealed to those present to be willing
to sacrifice for the final triumph of right
The chair then, in accordance with
motion made and seconded, appointed
nominating committee, composed of V. ].

the absence of the nominating commit
tee, Prin. Green and Supt. Patterson
spoke. This committee were elected to
serve on the public safety committee.

ALASKA INDIANS OWN
COOPERATIVE STORES
Business Training Is Also Included in

Guided by the department Of the in.

the Alaskan Indian is fast learning i'm.

He is taught to protect himself from
the sharp practices of INSCRIPTIONS trad.
ers.
In several Eskimo villages, the school
authorities have started co.operatiye
stores, where natives may exchange their
wares, and buy the necessities Of life
at a legitimate price. Contact with the
civilized world has forced many OF them
to rely on certain requisites Of civilized
life, and these were often imposed upon
them at extortionate prices
The bureau of education put a sion
to this vicious system. Under the gen
eral supervision of the teachers, co-oper-
alive stores were established among the
natives, owned and managed BY the ma
tives themselves. At these stores food
and supplies are sold az reasona hle
prices, and furs and ivories. woven has.

available that were used in the construc-

lie together, it is well to so manage
and plant the garden as to insure plenty
of beans, plenty in the string or snap
stage, the surplus to be canned or al
lowed to mature.
Beans are more susceptible to cold
than peas so they should not be plant
ed until danger of frost has passed and
the soil begins to be warm. To secure a
continuous supply, it is desirable to
make paintings at intervals of 10 days
to two weeks beginning May 10 to 20,
to continue until July |. For string
beans the edible pods are usually ready
to pick in from six to ten weeks, thus
the first paintings can be followed by
some fall crop.
A sweet clay loan soil is considered
best for growing field beans, but the
ordinary garden soil will do very we'll
For string and shell beans the rows
should be two feet apart and should
be seeded thick enough to get plants two
to four inches apart. Beans of any kind
should not be planted deeper than two
inches which is necessary TO reach moist
soil and secure good termination. Va
rieties that can be relied upon are:
Green Snap, Early Refugee and Early
Red Valentine, Wax, Golden Wax, and
Wardwell's Kidney Wax; for green
shell, Horticultural or Cranberry.
Lima beans are not sure crop in the
average Vermont garden. Henderson's
Improved Bush Lima or Dreer's Bush
Lima are good to try.
Cultivation can be helped greatly by
making good, deep, clean seed-bed, be-
fore planting the seed. After the plants
are up light cultivator should be used
to avoid throwing soil around the plants.
When they are strong and well estab
lished, use the heavy cultivstor and
throw soil enough about the plants TO
smother the small weeds. One deep cul-
tiyation is sufficient, and should be
followed with the spike tooth to avoid
cutting roots which soon reach out into
the center of the rows. Continue Guilt
walton until the plants are full grown.
Never cultivate when the leaves are wet
for fear of spreading such disease as
and bacteriosis.

largely in commercial shipments from

sumption of Utah coal by the railroads

her father, was told that she must
leave school unless she passed an ex-
animation which would entitled her to

ly, and on one occasion carried her
school books to her bedroom, intending
TO rise early the next day for the pur-
pose OF study. In the morning, on
looking over her lessons, she was sur
prlsed to find that she already knew
them. This happened for several sue

termined to watch her. This she did,
