TWO WHE4TLESS DAYS.

Governor Pleasant has issued Il proc
lamation urging all residents Of the
state to observe two wlleatless days
each week, the same to he Wednesdays
and Thursdays. This is timely sug-s
gestion, as you will see from the fol-
Loving several paragraphs:
Food administration officials figure
that the allied countries i'll Europe will
have Il deficiency of more than 4OO,-
100000 bushels of wheat. 1t Is esti-
mated that the United States has
surplus of only Il, 696.O 900 bushels, after
placing the requirements Of its own
people at 5S2. 1O1 600 bushels. To the
surplus of the United States may be
added that cf Canada, estimated to be
perhaps as much as 2O.0OO, 600 bushels.
This makes total from these two
sources of less than 2OO.OOO.OOO bush
els. leaving the allied countries abroad
with a shortage of upward of 20O,OOO,
600 bushels. and this after basing the
estimate ON normal requirements.
1t has been pointed out that what
surplus Of this crop may exist in Rus
STA cannot he gotten to France, Eng
land, Belgium and Italy, and that the
Rounlanian croi; is in the hands of
Germany. Then the duty of This cOun-
try in this foreseen exigency is quite
plain. 1t is necessary that the wheat
less days be observed. 1t is war
measure, and a necessary war measure
because those who are now fighting in
our cause must be sustained. We can
not afford that they become in de-
gree within our prevention lacking in
the staff of life. They must have food
that life and strength may he sustain
ed. for most trying task yet lies be-
fore them.
This is a most trying period for our
allies across the Atlantic. reader, and
it is not only duty but a demand that
we in every way possible befriend and
support their efforts. SO little thing
that you can do to-day in furthering
this great God-granted movement is to
eat less of wheat bread and more freely
of its substitutes. Cornbread is more
wholesome by far than that made from
high patent Thitc flour. and the sweet
potato, the Irish potato. the cashaw,
pumpkins and turnips are all good
foods and sustain life and give one
strength. Let us use more freely of
these things on our tables before a pOr-
ton of the supply goes to waste.

Urges Housewives to Save
Every Pea and Every Bean

1t is not difficult to handle and cure
the vines and pods of both beans and
peas. After the season has reached
full size and before the vines and pods
are ripe and dry, the vines should be
cut with a scythe or sickle, or pulled
by hand. They can be cured by mere
ly spreading on the ground until we'll
wilted If the crop is large, the vines
should be stacked on ground covered
with rails or brush and tied against
stakes driven in at intervals few
inches apart After the beans and
peas are dried they can be threshed
and the seed recovered
In the emergency campaign for the
conservation of perishable fruits and
vegetables, the department of agricul-
ture is laying stress upon the necessi-
ty of providing for an adequate veg
etable seed supply for the 1918 plant
ing season.

WHERE COAL is $50 A TON
Prices Have Scared So High IN Italy
That People Have Resorted to
Ancient Heating Method.

With coal selling at $50 ton, and
the government gradually taking over
all existing supplies and prohibiting
its use by hotels and boarding houses,
and with gas and electricity dear or
the supply reduced, Italian households
and business offices have had to re-
vert to the ancient method Of burning
finely powdered wood charcoal dust
in two-gallon earthen jar, says the
Toronto Globe.
The jar is filed half full of char
coal dust, placed In the open air or
near an open window, and some live
Goals of wood or charcoal put in the
center of the dust. Slow combustion
is started and gradually the entire sur
face of the dust burns to ashes while
the smoldering fire reaches downward.
When, after II hours, no more smoke
and little gas is given off, the heated
jar is placed in the cold room and let
stay there for "a hours, after which
a fresh layer of dust is placed in the
jar and the process repeated.
Before the war this means of heat
ing had been abandoned except by the
very poor.

WASHINGTON -. Don't forget to
save beans and peas out of your sur
plus for the planting next spring" is
the advice which seed experts of the
U. S. department of agriculture are
sending to home gardeners and mar
ket gardeners in Idaho.
MANY market gardeners have beans
or peas which they find it unprofita-
bic to consume or to sell in the green
state at the present time" declared a
department expert today. "They want
to use the ground for later planting
and there is a temptation to pillow I'M
der the whole crop. This, however,
should not be done. 1t is better to
save the crop, provided the stock is
satisfactory, as it can be used for
seed next year. Beans or peas in
quantities beyond what is needed for
seed can be used for food"

WHERE THE BATTLE MUST BE FOUGHT

This war is to be lost in the grain field, in
mines in the lumber camps, in the ship yards. in
the factories in the homes of America.
Men who go front to fight and die are not the
only ones who are called upon to make sacrifices.
Sacrifice is order of the day. in this the
of the millionaire and the son of the poor man are
brought to an equal footing
There was never a time when the rich and the pow
erful in this country called upon sacrifice as
ing their wealth and their property. This is
right because these all they have to their
government. If there those among them who are
taking advantage of the to increase their profits
70 pile up additional fortunes government may be
relied upon to handle them. Through the income tax
government agencies springing into action these
will be forced to contribute their full share to
the carrying of the burden of war.
But there other important phases of the situa-
ton Why should laboring take advantage of the
crisis to extort higher wages shorter hours and un-
usual conditions? 1t is to every citizen to make
sacrifices, and this applies to the man who works as
well every other citizen,-man woman and child
There is now and has always been strong sympathy
throughout the whole country the workingman in
and better conditions but this time to force this
issue

sands being taken from the productive industries
of the country to the army to become

LAY PERMITS LOCAL
BOARDS TO USE DISCRETION

Provost Marshal General Crowder
has sent the following telegram to
governors of all states with refer
ence to his ruling concerning depend
ency on the ground of marriage:
please call attention of local
boards to the fact that a soldiers
pay is not less than $50 month and
that all clothing, subsistence, medical
treatment, and housing are furnished
him. Under the law he may allot any
portion of his pay to a dependent
Many soldiers receiving $40 month
are easily able to allot $25 monthly
to the support of dependents.
In case of death in line of duty the
government will pay to the beneficiary
designated by the soldier six months
pay. Section 4 of the selective service
act provides that those in q status
with respect to persons dependent up
on them for support which renders
their exclusion or discharge advis-
able may be discharged, but it does
not require that they shall be dis
charged in all such cases.
THE discretion of local boards is
invoked by this provision and such
boards may we'll take the facts recited
above into consideration in deciding
claims for discharge due to depend
ency with view to determining
as matter of fact, the per-
son claiming such discharge will not
be in as good or better position to sup
port his dependents after selection for
service than he was before.
If such is the case, Of course, the
discharge should not be granted.

EAT CORN AS A PATRIOTIC DUTY

1t is a disappointment to the country that the
wheat crop is falling far below the high standard set
at the opening OF the season The latest figures places
the yield for the year below the average of re-
cent This is especially unfortunate this year
when the abroad for wheat and flour are
abnormal.
But against this dark picture of the wheat field
stands the magnificent record of the crop Here
is where the great middle comes to the scratch
King corn is ready to 9O0O0OO000 bushels into
the hopper of the nation 80 bushels every citizen
of America 1t is the greatest crop grown on the
face of the earth.

Red Cross Campaigns Against
Bad Sanitation and FeverS

Observation-Disclosures its pol
icy of caring for the health not only OF
the soldiers and sailors of the United
States, but as we'll that of the civil
population, the American Red Cross
has established bureau of sanitary
service which will supplement and as
Sist federal, state and local health au-
thoraties in meeting sanitary emerg-
encias created by the war. The work
of She bureau will center in the civ
iiian areas surrounding army canton
ments.
While sanitary control of national
army environments. national guard
camps, and naval bases will be exer-
cised by the military authorities, the
districts Immediately adjoining these
camps will be under no such jurisdic-
ton. Yet the assembling of large bod
les of troops will create new sanitary
conditions. These must be met to
safeguard the health of civilians as
we'll as of soldiers.
Milk and the Mosquito
The problem of milk supply, for ex-
ample, will be greatly enlarged. The
supply itself must be doubled and
sometimes trebled, and this means in
creased forces for inspection. In the
southern states, where malaria is
danger, the Red Cross has already I'M
dertaken efforts looking toward the
determination of mosquitoes. They
must be eliminated not only in the
camps proper, but in the surrounding
country. Cleaning up pools and other
breeding places within a mile radius
of camps will mean covering from / )
to 60 square miles.
viii Work in Harmony
When local health authorities are
insufficiently equipped to meet these
added problems, the Red Cross will !
offer the assistance of it's bureau of
sanitary service. I'll will take the |
field only upon invitation of the local I
organization in charge of sanitation. /
The public health service will act as
the advance agent, deciding in con-
junction with the local authorities
what measures are necessary and how
much equipment it will take to meet
adequately the new conditions.
Furnish Sanitary Unit
Whenever requested by state auth
critics, coupled with recommends
sion of the public health service, the
Red Cross will furnish any important
military area with sanitary unit.
This will consist Of the required num- {
Der of psychologists, supervising and s
sanitary inspectors, public s
health nurses and assistants. The Red S
Cross will be prepared to furnish this s
unit with equipment and maintenance, {
including laboratory equipment. trans S
