TO OISGORGE
SURPLUS PROFITS

interviewed as to the recent dGs-
patches Cn flour mills Eemg obliged
to ''disgorge surplus profits" Mr..
Yeats states that at the beginning OF
ti'a past crop year all the larger
mills in the United states Were call
ed upon to enter into agreement with
The Food Administration to manufac--
turn flour upon certain net profit
per barrel, and all the smaller mills
We're allled to voluntarily enter into
the agreement, that the price OF flour
might lie kept within reasonable
bounds in this country and, at the
same time, permit of the paying of tn
highest prices known, throughout the
year, for the wheat.
1t was a splendid thing for the
mills to undertake, and the congrat-
ulatory letters being sent cut by the
Administration to the millers is
proof Of how satisfactorily the work
has been done. The Payette Mills
is amongst those that voluntarily
signed the agreement.
As the exact average cost and
profit per barrel at any mill can lie
known only at the close Of the per-
iod, and as the cost at each mill
must fluctuate with changing condi-
items, there will doubtless be mills
that will have an over-profit, but
whatever that may be, such mills
will under the agreement, turn back
the over-profit to the Food Admins
tration under some plan Yet to be
arranged.
In this connection, We learn that
many bushel of wheat that was
taken from our local granaries, and
when it was sorely needed here at
home, has gone where it will do the
most good, and where we would have
wanted it to have gone. So that we
who have sacrificed may feel con-
tent in duty well performed.

Time Flies Fast,
Men Wisely Say;
Men Think. Alas,
Times Fooled Away.

The initials Of these words give us
the day of the week upon which the
first of the months will fall in 1918,
! taking them in order. T stands for
| Tuesday, TIL for Thursday. is for
Saturday and A for Sunday. M and
W are for Monday and Wednesday re-
spectively.
1t is obvious that if one knows upon
what day of the week the first day of
any month will fall, one has only to
add sevens to it to discover the dates
of all similar days of the week in that
month. If the LIST of August falls on
Thursday, the Sth, 18th, 22d and Doth
must all be Thursdays.
Now suppose you have committed
this little rhyme to memory and wish
to know upon what day OF the week
the Fourth Of July will fall in 1918.
July is the seventh month and the sew
enth word In our couplet beginning
the third line, Is Men. As M stands
for Monday, the LIST OF July must be a
Monday, so the 4th will be a. Thurs.
day.
Let us suppose your birthday Is
March %. AS March Is the third
month the word is at the end OF the
first line, and the initial Il shows that
the list of March, will be Friday. If
the following Fridays are the Sth, 18th
and 22d your birthday Will be on Sat
urday In 1918.
Suppose it is Christmas day you are
looking forward to. December is the
last Of the twelve months and the
initial of the last word in our little
rhyme is A, which stands for Sunday.
Then the Sundays in December will be
the LIST, Sth, 18th and 22d, and Christ
mas day will be three days after Sun.
day, or Wednesday.

SOLDIERS, DIET

A soldier needs more food than the
ordinary civilian because his life is
more strenuous. Moreover, his whole
diet must be made practically from
wheat, fats, sugar, condensed milk
and coffee, for excepting a few var
ieties of canned vegetables, these ar
the only foods that it is possible to
ship to him from a distance.
Furthermore, Uncle Sam must lay
up vast reserve stores of these food
to meet emergencies such as food
LIST during battle, food sunk by
submarines, food spoiled in transpor-
taricn, end bad crops next year.
Just how well fed the American
soldiers are ard just how well Uncle
Sam lis able to meet enc or all of
these emergencies depends ON how
thrifty American men and women
save wheat, meat, sugar and fats

THE MOVING pIcTuRE

There are a few people who really
believe the moving picture shows
ara not Just the proper thing. We
believe We can say with safety that
such peopl do not attend. 1t is
true the story told in the larger part
of these pictures are ficticn, but
all have q moral, and are in most
cases educational In tho moving pic
ture one gets a look into almost
every part Of the United States and
in many foreign countries, From the
tropical sceneries of the south to
the home of the Eskimo and the
ice bergs Of the north. 1t is the in
tenticn from now on to show quite
often at the Emma for educational
purposes many scenes pertaining to
the war; scenes Of train ng camps,
battle ships in action, the manoeu-
vreing and manipulation of the big
guns and many other interesting war
features.

Kansas is TO harvest her 100 900, 200
bushel wheat crop by the use OF
men of farm experience from the
offices, stores, and shops in towns
and cities to supply the lack of other
labor available for farm work. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 men will be
needed from June 20 to the middle
of July The chambers of commerce,
the mayors and ether leaders are CO.
operating with the forces of the
United States Department of Agr.-
culture and the agricultural college
to enlist the necessary number of
men.
Reports recently received by the
department show Kansas City, Mo,
has enrolled 10000; Kansas City,
Kans.. 1900; Topeka, 2,1OO; and
other cities and towns are respond
ing in like proportion. The enroll

within four years providing COW own

cooperate and buy a quality bull

The famous old tavern on Galen

The place was known as the Dor
othy Coolidge tavern. II was built IN
40 by William Williams, shipbulld-
er. Later Il became the property IF
Nathaniel Coolidge who established
a tavern. which he conducted up to the
time of his death in 1870.
Upon the death of Mr.. Coolidge the
tavern was conducted by his widow.
Dorothy Whitney Coolidge. Washing
ton made two visits "a the tavern. the
first time in July. 1775, while on his
way to Boston. After he became pres.
ident he again came 10 the tavern aud
he remained over night.
Mrs. Coolidge was noted for the ex-
cellence of her iohnnycake. and 1t Is
recorded TINT Washington partook Of
some and highly praised the cake and
its maker.
The tavern was popular resort fer
American and British officers. and On
the morning Of the battle of Lexington
it is recorded that Mrs. Whitney fed
the volunteers.
The Massachusetts Legislators often
met here and in 1775 the safety conn
mittee made its headquarters az tie
tavern.
In the early DAYS of the place n
signboard bearing likeness Of George
III hung over the entrance 70 the main
door. Later this was changed for 81
portrait of George Washington.
The property was acquired by The
