the great undertaking, They must
find a way to get American boys
to France. They must provide means
for sustaining these boys after they
land there. They must see that these
boys get food and guns and ammu-
milton and other necessary equipment.
So, when the men in charge OF the
war savings stamps sales say that
Codington eoUnty's apportionment is
SO many dollars (twenty) per capita,
it is our business to see that the
amount is forthcoming, as we saw
that our apportionment of the third
Liberty Loan was subscribed. All
that those of us who are not ait the
front can do towards winning this
war is to get into the harness and
pull or get behind and push if we
can't find room in the traces. We
belong either in front pulling or be-
hind pushing-it makes but little diff
ference which, so that each does his
part.
Up to April IL South Dakota had
bought only two dollars worth of war
saving stamps per capita out of it's
allotment of twenty dollars each.
South Dakota, according to its pop
u%lation, is leading in about everything
that has been asked of it thus far.
Its production OF wealth per capita
has been among the notches at the
top. With favorable climatic condi-
lions for 1918, it is going TO stay
there.
Let ~codjngton county, now that the
Liberty Loan drive is practically out
of the way, begin to climb in its
relative position among the counties
of the state in the purchase of war
savings stamps.

SENATOR LENDE.s SUGGESTION.

SENATOR LENDE'S SUGGESTION.
Senator o. A. Lende, Of Candy, Min
nesota, makes a very sensible sug-
gestion through the Candy News.
Senator Lende is recognized as a man
Of broad vision, and we have thought
that some such caution as he issues
is needed. 1t is in line with observa-
tions offered. by federal authorities
at Washington. Mr., Lende says:
This morning as I came down town,
! was told that Backer Bros. furniture
store had been decorated with p1a-
cards containing insinIations and de-
rogatory statements rejecting upon
these two men for their alleged pro-
German sympathy, if they ever had
any such sympathy, and heaping cri
ticism upon these two men for not
buying Liberty bonds.
II desire to enter my protest against
the action of any one who is SO over
enthused in behalf of our cause that
he will commit a wrong upon his
neighbor. IF a man should be wrong
it should be u duty to set him right
and to commit a wrong against such
a man will win him over. Two
wrongs do not make one right.
@The names of both Herman and
Edward Backer We're upon my list
and Mr.. simehsen and I personally
solicited these two Z Both iof
them subscribed their full alIotments.
These two men are entitled to the
same credit as are hundreds of other
men and ONE who subscribed their
full quota.
Without the knowledge Of BackerI
Bros. I ask that this statement be.
made public. In all things, we cannot
afford TO be anything but inst and
fair with our fellowmen.

How Whiting Saved Food.

Demonstrations of food drying
spread last year over Kentucky as a
part of the national food saving work,
according to the U. S. department Of
agriculture, and in that state 1900
homemade driers were constructed.
Here is one reason: The home demsn-
stration agents preached the need for
drying so earnestly that many mea
who had been whiting on street corr
ners to while away the time became
Interested. They whitfield for a pur-
pose and made homemade driers. In
Kentucky alone 100000 pounds Of
dried products were saved last year.

Eat More Chicken
Utilize Part Of the Poultry
Increase to Supply Meat
for the Home Table
prepared by the United States Depart
mani of A oricIlltIire

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of ~Agriculture)
As a matter of business foresight
and economy, as we'll as of patriotism,
farmers who increase their production
of poultry and eggs this year should
plan to use a considerable part of the
Increase on their own tables. Much
of the benefit of increasing the supply
Of products capable of very rapid in
crease, but perishable and bulky, will
be lost if producers adopt the policy
Of marketing all the increase. In that
case there would be no substitution
IN the farm of poultry products for
the cured and compact meats which it
Is desired to reserve as far as possible
for military use and shipment to the
allies.
Many farm families could easily use
several times as much poultry as is
now consumed on the average farm.
Analysis of the figures of the last cen
sus shows a very light consumption OF
poultry and eggs on the average farm.
For the whole country the average
yearly consumption of eggs per farm
is only 1875 dozen-2.6 dozen per
week; of poultry, go head-or one
bird every six days. The highest aver
age consumption of eggs in any state
is pip dozen-four dozen a week.
The highest average consumption of
poultry in a state is 124.6 head-one
bird In 90 days. Such averages indi-
cate that farmers who use poultry and
eggs freely on their own tables use
from six to ten dozen eggs and four to
six head of poultry weekly. In view
of the extent to which large flocks can
be made self-sustaining during the
greater part of the year on most farms,
this liberal scale of consumption of
poultry products would seem practical
generally.
The consumption of eggs on farms
may be greatly increased and farmers
still receive the benefit Of good prices
for fresh eggs in the season of scant
production and give consumers the
benefit Of a larger supply and more
moderate prices, if all farmers who
can do SO will preserve as many eggs
when eggs are cheap as they can use
at home when eggs are dear. The av-
erage farm price of eggs in the United
States in April, May and June, 1917,
IA 20 cents a dozen; In October, No
vember and December, 1877 cents. In
1916 the average difference in farm
prices in the periods compared was
1913 cents a dozen. There is a period
of from five to six months in every
year when the average price of fresh
eggs on the farm is about ten cents a
dozen more than the average price
during the season of heavy production.
Inasmuch as eggs car be preserved
in water glass, OF in lime water, and
kept in perfect condition for from six
to nine months, and disable for a year
or more, a farmer who preserves eggs
when they are cheap for his own use
can use eggs freely the year round
and still have eggs to sell all through
the season of high prices.

The Federal Food Administration of
New Jersey, through State Admins
traitor w. S. Tyler, has made a special
appeal from the headquarters in New
ark to New Jersey housewives to help
him meet the sugar situation. AT the
same time Mr.. Tyler urges them to do
as much canning or even more than
they ordinarily do.
Don't stop canning eve II your
sugar runs short" says Mr.. Tyler.
"Let your canning and preserving be
sugarless or as near 80 as possible.
Then later in the year, when sugar Is
more plentiful, 1t may be added to the
fruits and vegetables to suit your
taste.
"By so doing you will help win the
war. You will keep Jul soldiers sup
piled with their scant ration while
they are fighting SO heroically for our
freedom, and you will help supply sug-
ar to the heroic people in Europe who
are welcoming to their homes the
American soldiers among them"
Other injunctions of Food Admins
traitor Tyler are:
DRY some of your fruit instead Of
canning it.
"Try pulp fruits according to the
English method.
"Can fruits without sugar.
"Let corn syrup and other syrups
supplement sugar for preserving of all
sort"
Here are the other methods of
economy:
Cut down the usual number of
sandwiches used at picnics or camp
ing parties.
Use brown bread made Of corn or
barley for sandwiches, as sandwiches
from part or all wheat bread are not
camp necessities.
Eliminate all soft drinks, lemonade
or ice tea, from the list of camp bev-
erages. Cold milk from the thermos
bottle or cooled in a spring is a most
satisfying drink for a camper or a
