cept that there Ars still fewer of the

another organization to take the place
Of their own, which has meant SO
much to them-the G. A. R. and that
splendid auxiliary, the W. R. c.
While the stories Of '6l-65 are still
listened to with wrapt interest, the

OFFER TO COME TO WINDSOR

Prof. o. B. Drake received a letter
riday from the board of education
7 Windsor, Colo, offering him a po-
ition of superintendent of the Wind

ear and inasmuch AZ this is several

Get to receive in the very near fu-
ure he was constrained to accept the
fer, provided that he finds things en-
rely satisfactory when he and Mrs.
Drake visit Windsor next week.
Tho school at Windsor is one of
considerable magnitude and import
nee, and inasmuch MS $4,000
uilding is being planned for the i'm
,ediate future, it carries with 1t the
lore significance.
While MIR. brakes many friends in
his community and the patrons of
rvada schools are loath to see him
ave, they nevertheless are gratifed
hat he goes to field Of such prom
e for his future welfare. He will be
iissed greatly not only in the schools
ut in the community life as well, for
it is indeed doubtful II another super.
incident can be found easily who
will fit into the groove he has made
by his never firing and ever consci-
entious endeavor.
Not only has he been faithful to his

U. S. Navy VIII Launch
Expedition to Salvage
Sunken Ships Abroad

A new and effective method OF
helping our allies has been
evolved by the Navy Depart
ment.
1t was learned today that the
navy will shortly embark a sal
wage expedition for the purpose
OF saving and putting back
into service some half million
tons Of shipping which is now
going to waste in European
waters and on foreign beaches.
The navy recently command
desred the entire outfits OF three
Of the largest wrecking concerns
in the United States and II Is the
present intention to send at least
'one of these outfits abroad.
The outfits consist Of ocean
going tugs, pontoons. barges, etc.
and the work Of saving will
probably be without cost to our
allies.
There is pending now In Con-
gress a bill which will allow the
navy to make proper charges for
the salvage OF vessels in home
waters. These charges will be
based on the cost Of upkeep OF
the wrecking company reckoned
by the years business.

when the number reached the record
figure Of 36O.SS5. In 1917 the births
registered fell to 66S,S4s-a decline
from the 1918 figure OF "a per cent
up to the present We have lost In
England and Wales in potential lives
ION the standard of 1870 $4,000. Sir
Bernard thinks It will be long before
the birth rate reaches the figure that
obtained before the war.
SERIOUS as this loss Is TO the COM
ing generations OF our country, he
continued, there was reason to be-
lieve we suffered less than other bel
ligerent nations in terms OF percent
age OF loss on the pre-war population.
We may assume that Germany lost
in potential lives the equivalent Of
4 to 5 per cent Of its total pTe-war
population; Austria, per cent; Hun
gary, per cent. 4 think added Sir
Bernard, I may safely hazard the
statement that because OF the present
war the fall In birth race has occa-
stoned a cost to the belligerent coun-
tries OF Europe OF not less than r.
500, 900 potential lives. While the war
has filled graves, It has also emptied

in a message, signed by Edward Rey-
nolds, vice president and general man
ager OF the company, which was sent

This message was issued after
Clarence H. Mackay, president Of the
company, had telegraphed President
Wilson, acknowledging the receipt
of a letter from him and asserting
that I'VE cannot but respond to your
request"

The Hot Bread Habit.

We have all enjoyed so nluch our
mullins and rolls made of corn meal
and barley that I'm sure we will
never go back to the large amount OF
wheat we used before the war" said
an American woman to the members
Of her club the other day.
THE day after We were told that
the Food Administration released us
from our total wheat abstinence
pledge | serve toast for breakfast,
she continued, and three members
of my family actually asked for hot
corn mullins.
The tastes which many American
people acquire while they were max
ing their vigorous fight to send all
our wheat to our soldiers and the
Allies may stand them in good stead
al future time if wheat again should
be scarce. With the size of our over
seas army ever increasing, the de-
mand for bread on the other shore
will be enormous, and it is we'll for
American housekeepers to retain the
thrifty habit of making a little white
-four go a long way. If the family
likes muffin and quick bread OF corn
meal. barley or other wheat substi-
tutes do not let the fact that toast
is a time-saving breakfast dish in
fluence you into serving it every
morning.
AS far as nutritional value is con-
cerned it makes practically no diff
ference whether we eat wheat or oats,
rye Or barley in a general diet. The
quantities of starch, protein, mineral
matter and fat are SO nearly the same
that anyone of them can take the
place of another. Wheat bread for
all meals was merely habit, and
tha great wheat shortage has been
the first step toward breaking that
habit. Let the family have all the
wheat substitutes they want, even il
you are able to obtain wheat flour,
