Low Rate FARE
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS CAN
TRAVEL FOR 4 CENT
A MILE.

Sioux Falls, June 14.-High cost
of travelling is not going to affect
Uncle Sans boys in the army or navy
service, providing they can show GER
tificates from their commanding Of
ficers. Although the public must
come through with the new railroad
rate of 3 cents a mile, the soldiers
and sailors are now entitled to ride
on / zen with their certificates, ac-
cording to instructions received yes
terday by the local railroad offices.
This ruling will be a big accom-
mediation to many boys. There is
likely to be some disappointment,
though, for boys now on f%urlough,
who cannot obtain and show the GER
t~ificate from their own commanding
officer, will find the ticket agents
adamant.

EAT SAUERKRAUT
1T is OF DUTCH NOT HUN ORIGIN

Aberdeen, June 1.-THE ancient
and honorable dish known as sauer-
kraut, which, owing to it's supposedly
German origin, has fallen somewhat
into disrepute since Americas dec
laration of war, is vigorously defend
ed in a statement just issued by C. N.
Herreid, food administrator for
South Dakota.
Mr.. Herreid's statement follows:
ION account of its supposedly Ger
man name, sauerkraut seem to be
losing it's popularity al an American
dish. The food administration has
learned that throughout the country
men and women i'm their patriotic
zeal have been spreading a strong
propaganda to discourage the use of
a valuable foodstuff.
AS a matter of fact, the dish Is
said to be of Dutch rather than OF
German origin. In any event sauer-
! kraut is a valuable food and adds to
the variety in which cabbage may be
prepared. It's wider 9 would no
doubt stimulate a greater use of cab
bage and would further the food ad-
m~inistration's campaign for increased
consumption of p%erishable foodstuffs
and a greater saving of the staple
foods needed abroad.
mo matter by what name 1t may
be known, sauerkraut is a valuable
food and its use should not be cur
tailed as a result of o~verzealous and
I'LL advised patriotism"

TRAIN SHELL MAKERS
QUICKLY
English Women Are Able to Operate
Machines Ten Days After They
Enter Munitions Factories

Within 10 days from the time they
enter the factories English women
master single-process shell-making
machines and are able to render eff
ficient service, according to informa-
tion which has reached the Depart
ment of Labor from England. They
are paid from $40 to SIS week where
the time basis is in effect, and from
$3.50 to 500 a week by piecework.
Some Of the factories run three
shifts, and hours are changed each
week. The women say that they do
not mind night work in the least, al
though some of them are engaged In
heavy manual labor.
Piecework systems have been in
troduced in many places as a means
of speeding up production. Women
workers, it is said, take much more
pains than the men to increase their
incomes when they are working on
that basis, for they operate their ma
chimes at top speed and turn out en-.
ormous quantities of work. Men are
more disposed to limit their produc-
ton to figure approximating that of
their companions, but women do not
pay much attention to what the other
women are doing.

J. r. HICKMAN & co.
USES THE DiCTAPHONE

1t might be somewhat of jolt for
the "effete" eastern business man to
know that an enterprising Alaskan
business firm has just as up-to-date
methods in handling it's correspond
ence as he has. It's not to be ex.
pected, don't you know, from the peo-
pie in the Frozen North. But just the
same it's so.
Today whenever any of the depart.
ment managers of J. R. Hickman &
Co., has any correspondence he wants
to get out on the next steamer, he
puts cn a record on the dictaphone
and dictates his letters to the Iron
stenographer," who by the way, does
not chew gum. When he is through
he takes the records over to the Ket.
chikan Insurance Office where Mrs.
Hill, public stenographer, slips the
records on the dictaphone reproducer
puts on the lever, adjusts the tele-
phonic arrangement over her ears, and
bangs away on her "tapwriter" to her
hearts content. The new machine is
very satisfactory, both ways, it is
reported and enables each person to
work to better advantage.
