GRAND JURY
 CLOSES SESSION

NOME, ALASKA, Aril 8, 1918. HON. VIM. A. HOLZHEIAIER,
 Judge of the District Court of the U. s. for the Second Division, District of Alaska.
 Sir:--The Grand Jury would report that; in accordance with instructions given by you on the first day of April 1918, it has given consideration to all matters laid before 1t by the District Attorney and all other matters brought to it's attention. which 1t con- sidered proper for Investigation.
 The results of its deliberations arc evidenced by the bills and matters which have been presented to the Court from time to time while the jury was in session.
 The Grand Jury has visited the Fed eral Jail and the Nome City jail and find them apparently in good sanitary condition and we'll conducted. It has also visited the offices of the Clerk of the District Court. the United States Marshal and the District Attorney and the U. S. Commissioner, and find such offices apparently we'll ordered and efficient in the performance of their various duties.
 The Grand Jury would, however recommend that the Commissioners office be removed to the District Court

House, and there become part of the government machinery if proper ar engagements can be made.
 During the course of it's sessions the jury found that the room that was being occupied was entirely lacking in secrecy and ventilation, and it became necessary, with the consent of the Court, to transfer it's meetings to make shift quarters in the Federal Jail It was also found that the Judges chambers were in the same condition as regards secrecy ;ts the Grand Jury room.
 The Grand Jury will, therefore, re- commend that the Court direct the Custodian of the building to at once fix the walls and doors so that they will be sound proof and afford the sec recy that Is essential to the work done in them. Adequate means of ventila- lDon should also be provided, The Grand Jury is also of the opinion that Q suitable room for the Grand Jury should be provided on the third floor of the Court House and the present Grand Jury room should be reserved for the use of the Petit jury
 The Grand Jury desires to emphati- cally bring to the attention of all cit izens. that, under the conditions of war

Inasmuch as hundreds of farm boys
will be taken out of South Dakota in
the July selective draft, the shortage
of sufficient help to harvest the inn
mense small grain crop OF South Da-
kota promises to become acute. The
business men of many Of the cities
and towns are arranging to close
their places of business during GER
tain hours of each week day during
the height Of the harvesting season.
so they can go to farms in their To-
calities and assist the farmers as
much as possible in harvesting their
small grain. For this they will re-
ceiye pay, and in some quarters 1t is
proposed to turn the harvest field
earnings of the business men over to
the Red Cross.
A recruiting station for a Beadle
county agriculture army has been
opened in the Huron Commercial
club rooms and efforts will be made
10 procure volunteers from Huron
who will give a part of their time in
assisting the farmers of the county
in harvesting this years crop. Cap
tains will be named to lead squads
of men who will be taken to the scene
of their labOrs in cars donated for
that purpose According to present
plans evenings will be given over to
the work. 1t is expected hat five or
six squads of twenty-five or thirty
men each will be formed.

year, as new buildings will have to
be erected in Sioux Falls to accom-
modate the larger enrolment of the
combined schools. There is some
talk of using the buildings to be
abandoned here as an agricultural
college, and some such plan as this
may be adopted so the buildings car

must, of course, guard against waste.
The flush season, when the cows are
on the grass is now on This may not
mean a sharp drop in the price OF
milk, as some might expect, for labor
and cattle feed have beer high all
winter and the dairyman has had his
overhead expenses increased enor
mously.
But the intelligent housewife will
realize that true economy will not al
low any reduction in her family's use
of milk, no matter what the price is
Economy will lead her always to buy
whole milk instead of cream, for the
skim milk left in the creamery is of
ten wasted. Take the top of the bottle
for cereals, coffee, and the like, have
plenty for the children to drink, use
sour milk and whey in cooking, and
make cottage cheese often to eat in
place Of meat.

CHEESE IN CLUB SANDWICHES

Cheese has steadily logged up in
the scale of popularity until almost
twice the amount is used today that
was consumed this time last year. 1t
has a great advantage in the fact
that it is always ready and can be
eaten without further preparation If
preferred.
In the form Of a sandwich filler, its
possibilities are almost unlimited.
Cream cheese has long been a favor
tie as it spreads readily, but equally
good is the homemade cottage cheese
for this purpose. Here are some sug-
gestions for making club sandwiches
by combining cottage cheese with va
rious other ingredients:
Make the sandwiches of three good
slices of toasted wheatless bread, one
or more being spread thickly with
cottage cheese. Lettuce or water
cress and salad dressing are also used,
The rest of the filling may be varied
to suit the taste or the larder. The
sandwich is Il %diagonally across and
served on an individual plate with the
halves arranged in diamond shape. II
is desirable to toast the bread on
one side only and to cut it immedi
ately after toasting, as otherwise the
pressure of cutting brushes out the
cheese and spoils the appearance OF
the sandwich. The cut slices may be
placed together again while the sand
wich is being filled, and the filling may
be sliced through with a sharp knife
In addition to the cottage cheese
these club sandwiches may contain.
(1) Tomato, lettuce, %mayonnaist
dressing; (2) thin sliced cold ham
spread with mustard, lettuce, mayor
%naise; 90 sliced tart apple, nuts. let
tuce, mayonnaise; (4) sliced orange
water cress, mayonnaise; 60 SLICED
Spanish onion, pimento, lettuce, may
onnaise; CO. two tiny strips of bacon
lettuce. m~ayonnaise; 60 cucumber OIL
green pepper, pimento. lettuce, mayor
naise; (S) sweet sandwiches may be
made with layers of cottage cheese
and marmalade, or paste made OF
dried fruits. For these the bread
need not be toasted, and the lettuce
and mayonnaise should not be used
