Bluff That Failed.

General Plumer, who has recently
been recalled to France from Italy,
can be very ironical when he chooses,
as the following story proves:
Shortly before the war, when he
held the Irish command, a regiment
was being Unanswered before him on
a field day, and the colonel in charge
succeeded in getting his men mixed up
pretty thoroughly.
However, he went grimly on, and at
last. calling a halt, rode up to Plumer
with an air of importance.
81 flatter myself hat was extremely
well done, sir" he said, evidently with
the idea of trying to bluff that moth
ing had gone wrong.
ooh, excellent" was General Plum

Insects That Have Food Value.

Among insects which have been and
are considered of ~gastronomic value
are caterpillars, moths, a favorite In
some parts of Africa; the pupae Of
the silkworm in China ants, alive and
roasted, are appreciated in Burmah, as
wen as by the Indians of North and
South America, while 1t is said the
lumbermen of Maine enjoy an occa-

beetle is eaten in the Nile valley, in
Turkey, Lombardy, Java. Peru, and is

JUST A DOMESTIC DRAMA
Tooth, Bread Board, Mother and Son,
All Mixed Up in This Little
Everyday Story.

A tooth. a limousine, a bread board,
some Wyckof noodles, a mother and
her son enter into this drama.
Mother is Loyalty doing her own
work, and on returning from market
she drove her limousine to the kitchen
door. Lacking room to place her mar
keting, she temporarily put the bread
board, covered with noodles, on the
back of the convenient limousine. Just
then her son had a fall In such a man
ner that a front tooth was clearly re-
moved from it's socket. In great ex-
element she picked up the boy and
the tooth and FASTENED in the limou-
sine to the dentist. On one of the prin-
cipal streets. during the trip down
town, she heard a sound as though the
limousine had run over a loose board,
but gave 1t no thought. The dentist
replaced the tooth and mother and son
returned home. Her husband, who is
very fond of noodles, said: "Marguer-
cite, what did you do with the bread
board and the noodles?" Then she
knew. Did she go back after the bread
board and noodles? She did not.
Is the boys tooth still in? 1t is.

PosslbIIItles Of Month Africa.

North Africa-Tunis, Algeria and

The climate and pasture make 1t al

FIRE PERlLS THEATER CROWD.
Blazing Film Drops Among Spectators
and Fires Building.

Lake Mills, Feb. 5.--F'ire which start
ed in the motion picture booth or the
Dyme theater here Saturday evening,
threatened that building and the entire
opera house block, before the flames
were finally extinguished.
The fire started in the booth when
a reel of films became ignitel in some
undetermined manner. Phil From, the
operator picked up the reel and at
tempted to throw it from the building
but in so doing it dropped to the floor
near the main entrance.
There was fair sized crowd of per-
sons in the building at the time and 1t
was with some difficulty that the fire
men and cooler heads persuaded them
to leave the building thru the rear exit
and not stampede in front, near the
fire.
Mr. Nestle the proprietor of the pic
ture show, attempted to extinguish the
blaze and in so doing was badly burned
about the hands and arms. 1t Is esti-
mated that the loss to Nestle will be
about $500. which includes the loss to
the films, machine, and ticket booth.
He had no insurance.
The building is owned by Mr.. Gliets
and his loss. which was covered by in
surance was a badly smoked interior
and a burned ceiling in the front Of
the building.
All articles which were lost by the
crowd at the show during the SIAM
pede have been found and returned to
the owners The fire started about 8: As
o'clock during the second show when
ONLY a small crowd was present.

They can be carried along with these

Of corn becomes available, and In look

profitable that can be raised. Every
hog grower knows that hogs that have
been properly grown during tho sum

In this connection it Is advised that
hog growers who can get the seed plant
a small patch of Ninety-day corn.
This is good feed in August and II tho
field is large enough will carry the pigs
along until the main corn crop IL ready
for feeding.
If the hog grower has not permanent
pastures OF alfalfa, clover, or other
grasses, he can make temporary pas
ture by the heavy seeding of rye, oats,
barley. or wheat. These various
grains con be sown in rich soils. very
often in the hog lots, at the rate Of
anywhere from or 8 to or 8 bushels

grown quite successfully and makes

Special to Times-Republican.

Ames, Feb. 5.-Seventy creamery and
ice cream men are busy in the dairy
laboratories on the Iowa State College
campus, making by-product foods out
of creamery wastes and adjusting ice
cream to war time conditions. They are

from a dozen different states. One man
came from Texas to get instruction that
has become famous the country over

The American people could to great
advantage eat more cheese than they
do says Prof. NJ. Mortensen, head Of
the dairy department. we are feed
ing millions of pounds Of buttermilk to
hogs when excellent cheese might be
made of it. We are putting emphasis
on methods of cheese making because
many creamerieS would find it worth
while to take up it's manufacture and
at the same time they would help to
relieve the food shortage"
The problem Of ice cream making in
war times Is mainly a problem Of re-
ducing the amount of sugar used. In
the short course laboratories students
are making excellent ice cream with
only 8 to 31a pounds Of sugar instead
of 8 pounds to 10 gallons. glucose be-
ing used to the extent Of s to 7 pounds.
1T Is not advisable to abandon ice
cream" says Mr.. Mortensen, because
1t ranks high in food values. More
over, there is no loss or waste in ice
cream manufacture Of any Of the fat
and other solids OF the milk used;
there Is no buttermilk or like product
left to be disposed OF after the ice
cream Is made. The sugar content can
be reduced without reducing the pala-
liability of Ice cream"
Emphasis Is also placed IN standard

being given this week by the dairy
commissioner Of Alberta province, Can
