 Last night, the Avions (Hun avia- tors) visited us, but were scared away they were on their way to Paris and though they would drop few carte de viste" on the way. The roar of the cannons, is the music that puts us to sleep for they thunder day and night and the heavy guns shake the earth for thirty miles, when there's lull we wonder why. {. I wish you could see the different types of French soldiers who come to "Le Foyer du Soldat' as the French call our Y. NJ. c.

After he knew me better, he told me that for two years his wife and three daughters have been in the part of France held by the Huns-when he had finished he said: Every day I write to some one in the village in hopes someone may know their fate" Just one of the bitter tragedies of war. !.

I do not think the word frivolous will ever again be applied to the people of France.
 If you should ask me what com fort I wished for most just now, should say: "A ton of Rough on Rats, please" A husky fellow is gnawing his way through the wall as I write, and he's only one of a multitude-we have quite library in connection with the hut and one of the most popular books is Autobiography of a French Rat does not that sound classic?
 If we could get rid of the rain. the mud, the cold, the rats and the 'pou'' life would be some easier.
 A splendid young American soldier brought a home paper to me yesterday, in which it said the American soldier was giving himself up to the wines and other drinks of France and hinted at the idea that drunkenness and vice were prevalent in our army. These

stories are absolutely false and may be put down to German propaganda. . :. :. I am sure that the American soldier is living on higher moral plane than the American civilian, for his mind and heart are too full of serious things to spend his time in drunkenness and loose living.
 He respects his uniform and is liv- ing up to the best traditions of his American ideals and have yet to see my first drunken American soldier It is not fair to the man who is, perhaps, giving his life for his country, it is not fair to the mother, who sent him to make his sacrifice to help circulate such stories they should be choked off wherever they appear for the American soldier has the right to our faith and respect. . How do you like the "carte lettre?" (The sheet of paper, which folded once, also makes the envelope.)
 The young French and American soldiers have made it very popular, but the older men stick to the ordinary paper, with separate envelope. The American soldiers are getting rest less and keep asking: When are we going in?' There's a queer

COTTON SEED MAKES
 FINE FLOUR, REPORT.

In all the lists of substitutes for wheat that I have seen," declared a Phoenix man yesterday, cotton seed has been omitted. Bread fully as wholesome and as palatable as wheat bread can be made from cotton seed. It is not necessary to mix the cotton seed with wheat flour; in fact, it is better to use only cotton seed flour.
 T suggest that some of the organi- zations devoted to food conservation investigate the possibility of utilizing cotton seed for flour, especially as this valley fast is becoming cotton raising center and there will be large amounts 0 fcotton seed produced which would otherwise be used only for stock food and for the manufacture of oil"

G,ondon GIobe)

It is announced that the eX-czar, his consort, and their family, together with their entourage. are now obliged to conform with the food rationing regulations imposed on Russian citi- zens, and that food cards have been issued to all the Romanoff menage. This step has been taken by the municipal food committee at Tobolsk. acting on the express instructions of the local bolshevik commissary. That these restrictions are intended as an insult is shown by the fact that the members of the soviets are above the regulations. The czar's monthly ra- tions are now thirty pounds of cereals, a pound and a half of sugar. and half a pound of butter.

scoFFING AT SUBSTITUTES


To doubt that the substitutes recon-.
mended by the U. S. Food Administra-
ton are wholesome, nourishing and
palatabls Is a sign of stone-age igno.
rance. To make those substitutes
meet every household need is a token
OF the active kind Of patriotism thas
counts.
The substitute cereals are IN every
way as nourishing, as digestible, and.
II properly prepared, as palatable as
wheat. Lentils, dried peas and beans,
eggs. whole milk, cheese-all are good
substitutes for meat Corn strip,
maple strip. honey-these take the
place Of sugar. Many children were
born and grew to maturity in the CEN
turtles before cane and beet were
known. We are asked to decrease our
use of fats. But If we use vegetable
oils for cooking we may with a free
conscience use butter on the table.

RzsTRIcTINe FOOD PRICES.

When there is no restriction, an in
crease in the price Of one commodity,
whether food. labor etc., has a ten.
dency to raise other prices up to and
beyond an equivalent level. Soon ew
erything becomes sky-high and noth'
ing stable. Follows discomfort and
unrest. In order to stabilize prices,
the Food Administration publishes in
every section Of the community Fair
Price Lists, which show what foods
Of usual quality should sell for. The
cooperation Of the public in the er'
forcement Of these standards is a
remedy against profiteering and extor
ton. The method Is made availabls
by the Administration. Its adoption

How You Can
She'll the I.uns

One Of the worst Of the Huns de-
vices was poison gas. Its first use
was against French colonial troops at
Langsmaark, and they fed shrieking
that the devil was after them. Less
approximations Canadians patched the
broken line. but as many fell victims
to tuberculosis as the Hun bullets
brought down. Quickly, Allied chem'
lists got to work on an antidote and
found it in nut shells.
From these and from fruit pits is
manufactured the charcoal which is
used in conjunction with gas masks.
AS long as the supply Of these defen-
sive shells keeps up the Hun is
banned.
For that reason, the Food Admins
tration has issued mobilization order
for all the hickory, walnut and Brazil
shells that America can provide. The
hotels are showing the way, as in
many other conservation schemes.
Many are not only saving in their own
kitchens, but are providing receptacles
into which the general public are in
yited to deposit these contributions.
Keep box in your home and collect
all the shells you can. Remove all the
meat Of the nut, see that the shell is
dry and then when your box is full
add its contents to the pile at the near
est mobilization point"

Truck Roads Are Mapped From
Manufacturing Centers to
Atlantic Seaboard.

A pathfinder car has started on a
new lap of mapping out Army truck
roads for the Government, one Off
cial route having already been laid
out from Detroit to the Atlantic coast
and another from Buffalo to the sea-
board. The car will go as far west
as the Mississippi River and will map
routes from cities in Wisconsin, Hill
nois, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
When this trip is completed the
Government will have four main
highways forming connecting links
between the great manufacturing
centers and the Atlantic seaboard.
Motor trucks ON their way to France
will follow these routes.

Automatic Insurance Covers Men
Lost on Torpedoed Transport


Any American soldiers lost on the
torpedoed transport were protected
tby United States Government insur-
ance and Government compensation.

ance were covered by automatic in
surance which is payable to a wife,
child, or widowed mother. The au-
tomato insurance aggregates about
$4,000, netting $25 a month for 240
months. Insurance that had been
applied for is payable to a much lar
ger class of benefciaries and can go
as high as $4,000, netting $3.50 a
month for 240 months.
The compensation in case of death,
given by the Government without
charge and regardless of rank or pay,
ranges from $40 to $75 a month,
based on the number of dependents.
Payments under the compensation
feature of the military and naval in
surance act in case of death are pay
able to a widow, children, Or depend
end widowed mother.
The automatic insurance ceased on
February ~, but the compensation

vision. The scale of compensation in
case of death follows:
(a) For a widow alone, $25.
(b) For a widow and child,
$50.
(c) For a widow and two children,
$4T.5C, with SIS for each additional

So for each additional child up to

The -mount payable under this sub
division shall not be greater than a
sum which when added to the total
amount payable to the widow and
children, does not exceed SIS.

Warning Issued Against Scheme to
Swindle Farmers.

Another scheme for swindling the
farmers of the United States has been
discovered by the Federal Farm Loan
Board. A mar advertising himself as
an authorized organizer of national
farm-loan associations is sending out
advertising matter emblazoned with
the national flag, stating that he will
organize such associations at $500
each, and will teach others the trick
for a certain sum Of money. His adj
vertisements have reached farmers
and business men over a large part of
the United States. He claims to be so
busy organizing national farm-loan as
sociations that he needs help, but will
teach others for a monetary consid-
Grafton.
All such representatives are frau
dulent. In order to borrow under the
farm-loan act, it is necessary for
farmers to organize cooperative ma
tional farm-loan associations in their
local communities. 1t is a violation
of a ruling of the Federal Farm Loan
Board, published more than a year
ago, for a national farm-loan asso-
citation or a joint-stock land bank to
spend any money for promotion pur-
poses. Association thus organized
will not be chartered by the Federal
Farm Loan Board. Farmers are
warned therefore against anyone ask
ing a fee for his preferred services in
connection with applying for a loan
under the Federal farm-loan act.

Carrier Pigeons Are Being Killed by
Hunters.

Complaints have been made to the
pigeon section of the Signal Corps
that carrier pigeons of the racing
type, being trained throughout the
United States for. communication
service with the American Army,
have been shot by persons on hunt

Because of the important part
carrier and honling pigeons are play

breeding and development in this
country, the War Department has
considerably expanded the pigeon
section of the Signal Corps. HON.
ing pigeons constitute one of the
most effective means of communica-
ton in the Army.
Any pigeon in the air may be a
carrier pigeon flying from a loft un-
der Government supervision. It's de-
struction may be a serious loss to
the American Army. Anyone COM
