WASHINGTON, April IL. PRO
Viding food for the allies" will be this
country's part in the war at present.
The mobilization of foodstuffs and
providing navy cooperation to deliv-
er them 10 English and French ports

In the meantime, thousands of men
will be trained for action in Europe
and as soon as they are prepared for
service, their transportion will be Sc
cm ed.
Hundreds of ships will be built to
carry food, and the German and Aus
train liners seized, will he hastily re-
paired.
Probably 6 months will elapse be
fore any soldiers are sent to Europe
and then the public will probably
not be advised until they actually az,
rive in Europe.
The revenue measure is expected
to pass congress by Friday night.

Then you get down on your hands

have done that you start off from a

You have to crawl over the ground on

CADDY WISE TO HIS JOB
Preferred to Serve New Golf Player
Because She Never Knocked Ball
Out of Sight.

Henry was a nice red-haired little
boy and the best caddy at the club,
so he was in great demand. Mrs. S.
had just taken up golf that summer.
The first time she played she happened
to have Henry. He was so good that
the next morning when she went out
she asked for him again. AS they were
coming in on the ninth hole Henry
looked at her wistfully and asked her
if she were going to play the next
morning. If she were he suggested
that he wait for her.
So it got to be a habit for Mrs. S.
to play every morning and for Henry
to wait and caddy for her. One day
Mrs. S. said:
"YOu know, Henry, don't think it's
fair to you or to the other golf players
for you to caddy for me every time, be-
cause you are the best caddy up here,
everybody says, and Pm about the
worst player. Suppose we switch to-
morrow and you go with a good play
er. Wouldn't you like to do that?'
And Henry shook his fiery little
head. "Why, all the other caddies just
envy me caddyin" for you, cuz when
you hit the ball it never goes out of
sight"

HELPMEETS ARE NEEDED YET
Testimony of suffragist Plainly Shows
That Mere Man Cannot Do
Without Them.

There is no use denying it, mister
man cannot exist without a helpmeet,
New York correspondent Of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. The WON.
en- themselves admit this much, but
they deny emphatically that they are
dependent upon the sterner sex. No,
indeed. 1t was over at the votes for
women headquarters recently that the
well-known and oft accepted theory
of the dependency of women upon
mere man was attacked.
Someone had volunteered the fear
that women will always be regarded
as weak and dependent as long as it
is necessary for friend wife to call
upon hubby to button up her waist in
the back or see if the hooks are all
tight or If her hat is on straight, and
If her hair is all over her head. The
very fact that man is at all times able
to care for his sartOrial self alone was
cited as an example of the varying in
dependence of the two. "But that isn't
always So" replied one Of the state
campaigners. "My husband went away
on a campaign trip this summer for
two weeks and every single night he
had to wire me to ask where he would
be likely to find his pajamas."

Bees Put PUPILS to ElIaht.

Angry honey bees swarmed into the
Washington school in Sutter county,
Cal, the other morning, putting to
flight the pupils and their teacher,
Miss Schellinger, according to word re-
ceived by County Superintendent Of
Schools Miss Lizzie Vagedes. Scream
ing with pain the children ran panic
stricken from the schoolroOm, while
the teacher, who remained to see that
all her pupils reached safety, was fear
fully stung about the face, one eye be-
Ing closed as the result. In her report
to the county superintendent of
schools, Miss Schellinger says that the
bees, which had made their home be-
tween walls of, the school building
took complete possession of the school

The SuueamIsh Sex.

Mrs. NJ. had asked two little boys
for luncheon, their respective mothers
being far from home. During lunch

discussed.
"Say, Freddie, do you like to take

"Gee whiz, mol Why?"
"Well, don't either, but 1 think you
have to-"
"Oh, I take them when they make
me, but would never take 'em If they
didn't make me-"

don't make you"

WHAT SOLDIER BOYS EAT
Meat Served Twice Daily With Good
Supply OF Other Substantial
Food-CraVe Dalnties.

The old idea that army diet should
consist largely Of beans, hardtack and
coffee, is no longer approved. In the
present training camps meat, prefera-
bly, beef, is served twice a day, with
white bread baked in the general camp
bakery and kept "a hours before serv7
Ing. Where green vegetables can be
obtained they are used, otherwise
canned goods are substituted. Coffee
is served at breakfast and buttermilk,
lemonade, tea, cocoa or water at other
meals. Meals, which in the vernacu-
lar are "mess" or "chOw," are served
cafeteria style. Every soldier is fur
nished with an outfit which consists
of a meat pan, knife, fork and spoon,
and long handled cup. The cover of
the meat pan serves as a plate, and
the outfit Is so arranged that each man
may do his own cooking in case of an
emergency.
Each man takes his meat pan and
passes before table where he is serv-
ed with the various dishes prepared.
He then goes to a table, or if there is
none, drops down ON the ground, and
eats In absolute cOntentment. Don't
heel too sorry for the boys, even if they
do write lOngingly home wishing for
mothers cookies or James fried chick
en-, Belle Case Harrington writes in
LeSlie'S. Men in outdoor training have
good appetites, and they are far better
off physically than if fed on the salads
and ices and sOdas they probably
would have at home. What they miss
most is sweets. If you are sending
things from home put in cookies, can.
dies and jams or jellies. Milk chOcO-
late is one Of the things a soldier seems
to crave, and jar of matted milk
will come handy if he is not feeling
well. Be sure not to send food that Is
too rich. The boys are on plain diet
with extremes of climate, and some
times doubtful water supply-and boys
never do have sense when 1t comes t.
eating!

sltka Pine Comes Into Its own.

A steamship that arrived In Seattle
recently brought the first shipment Of
Sitka spruce from Alaska for use in
making airplanes. This wood is supe-
rior to any other for lightness and
strength, and rods 60 feet long without
q knot or blernish are easily obtained.
Much Of this spruce has already been
shipped to Europe from British Co
lumbia, Oregon and Washington. Sit
ka spruce is the dominant tree Of the
Alaska coast region, and was for a
long time regarded with contempt by
lumbermen and used only for fish
boxes. Now it is the hope of the Unit
ed States for paper pulp and airplane
frames.

Arthus Feust, consulting engineer

to cover it we'll with tabascO sauce.

to France-not the baby grand that

new one recently invented for him
by an English firm. This piano is quite
small and but a little heavier than the
average suit case. While the strings
are not as long as on the usual instru-
ment, this is true piano and the fight

Old English Furniture

Ihat fine old furniture is yet found
In Great Britain in many unexpected
places is said to be largely due to the
stirring up of the country that was
gwen by the great exhibition at Lon
don of 1S51.~ This was soon after the
development of the railway system in
England, and there flocked to London
n large number of SQuires and their
wives. a new world had opened TO
the country DANES. The new things
had wonderful fascination for them.
On returning home they got rid of
much of their old furniture md
bought new. Much of the old furni-
ture found its way to secondhand
shops and was sold to poor folk, who
could not afford to buy new. This ac-
counts for the finding today of much
good olt furniture In small houses in
provincial towns and among country
people.

A & VEGETABLE

b. l.. Opsal, editor of the Wilmot
Enterprise, claims to have developed a
freak of nature which threatens to
make Luther Burbank look to his
laurels. Last spring after Opsal had
planted his potatoes, he set out some
tomato plants alongside. The potatoes
were early ones, and blossomed about
the same time that the tomatoes did.
Now, he AYERS that while there isn't
a single tomato on his tomato vines,
the potato plants are loaded with to-
matoes, above ground, while produc-
ing a bumper crop of potatoes under
ground. He intends to preserve the
seed of the "~potatomato" carefully,
and see whether it will produce toma-
toes or potatoes or both next year, or,
like the mule, fail to reproduce.
