HOW GERMAN FARMERS WORK
Under Strict Regulation and Give Up
Food They Work Hard to Raise.

Here in the United States, let us
hope we shall never be subject to the
discipline to which German farmers
submit, for it is inconsistent with
our democratic ideas But we should
realize that:
1. Farmers in the enemy countries
are supporting their governments.
2. Certain kinds of food are still
fairly abundant.
3. The Central Powers are using
every possible means to maintain agri-
cultural production.
4. Isolated cases of food shortage
are not necessarily typical of large
areas.
5. Reports that farmers are slack
ening in their efforts bear the ear
marks of German propaganda.
When we realize that the peasants
in the enemy countries are patient
under very rigid regulations, and are
willing to give up food which they
have worked hard to produce, in or
der that their armies may be fed, it
should make us understand better
the great task ahead for American
farmers. We cannot we'll do less
than farmers in the enemy countries.
With our vast acreage and our great
er individual enterprise, man for man,
we must overcome the PrllsSian sys-
TEN.
The L. S. Food administration
points out in the case of meat, that
if every suitable freezer in the world
were packed to the roof, that supply
of meat would last our population and
the Allies only few days. The 30
100000 cases of condensed milk can
ned last year in this country, repre-
sent only about 213 per cent of this
| country's annual milk supply. Crops
that are growing and the meat ami
mails that are developing on farms
and all the food supplies constantly
coming to market are the dominant
factors in the food situation for the
United States and the Allies. Our
producing areas constitute our great
est reserves. These facts, it is hoped,
! will enable American producers to
secure clear conception of the world
food situation as it exists this fall.

new SUGAR PRICES
! FOR DELAWARE
Maximum is 10 1-2c in Cities
and Towns and lie in
Rural Sections.

Food Administrator Edmund Mitch
ell, in outlining the new prices on
sugar said:
"The rule of the Food Administra-
ton is ,.ositive, that all sugar in
stock, whether in the hands of the
Wholesaler, retailer or jobber, must
be sold at the old price.
"The retail price for all bulk SUI
gar, purchased after September 8,
will be not more than 1O12 cents per
pound in Wilmington, and II cents in
rural districts.
''Retail dealers are to still con-
tinue to sell sugar in quantities of
not more than 2 pounds per person
per month in cities and towns, and
not more than pounds to purchas-
ers living in outlying districts.
"This regulation must not be con-
strued to interfere with the sale Of
sugar for canning purposes, as home
canning should be encouraged.
''In case Il purchaser finds II deal
err selling his old stock of sugar at
the advanced price, he should he re-
ported to the Food Administrator at
once, giving the name, date and
amount of sugar sold"
''On package goods the retail price
in cities is not more than II cents
and in rural sections 111a cents"

The Griddle Cake
Comes into its Own

The coming of fall with its cold,
frosty mornings and the desire to
conserve wheat conspire to usher
in the season of griddle cakes lit
tie ahead of schedule time. Patrio-
tic housewives will welcome the
opportunity to utilize left over
cereals and use wheat substitutes
in greater variety and a greater
quantity.
A sufficient supply for the meal
may be prepared beforehand and
kept hot in a stone crock with tin
lid, in a casserole or on an agate
pie-plate covered by tin plate or
perforated cover if one does not
care for the steamed cakes.
To avoid the odor and smoke of
burning grease an aluminium or
soapstone griddle, which need no
fat, may be used with good re-
suits. Even an ordinary iron grid
die with a moderate, steady fire
needs only occasional swabbing
with a creased cloth or brush. The
cakes are much more digestible if
the grease is eliminated and the
slower fire allows them to cook
more thoroughly and lessons the
amount of fat needed. The griddle
should be hot enough to sizzle
when the batter is poured on but
not hot enough to smoke when
creased.
The batter should be of the right
consistency for this point has much
to do with the success of the grid
die cakes. 1t should be thin
enough to pour and to spread lit

WHAT MAY BE
DONE WITH APPLES
Some Seasonable Recipes

For all round utility the apple
stands at the head of the fruit list
1t may be made the foundation of
many delicious and nutritious
foods. 1t may be served for any
meal, between meals, and with
very beneficient results at bed
time. Since Spanish Influenza has
become prevalent, physicians have
urged that apples and other fresh
fruits be eaten in abundance to
keep the digestive tract in good
working order. In addition to this
the sweet apple is great sugar
saver. With the price of apples at
the present high figure it is essen
tial to use every available portion
in the cooking.
The best apple sauce, for exam
ple. is made from the whole apple,
the stem and the blow only being
disc arded. The core and the skin
give an additional flavor and color
TO the sauce and should not be
wasted. Cut the apples up, cutting
out any rotten or wormy portions
nut in a granite sauce pan, add "a
'of a cupful of water to six or eight
apples, according to sizes, cover
closely, and cook rapidly for ter
or fifteen minutes or until the ap'
nles are soft. Press through a seiVe
fine enough to remove the SEEDS
and skins. If the sauce seems toe
thm before straining, cook down
with the cover off until part OF the
water has evaporated; watch care
fully that they do not burn ON the

deal of water in apples; the heat of
the oven converts this into steam
very rapidly; unless there is an
outlet for this steam it will break
the apple and may even force the
skin entirely off. To prevent this,
cut out a little path of skin all
around the apple or cut lines run
ming up and down as if starting to
quarter; prepared this way, the
apple win keep its shape perfectly
while cooking.
An apple-corer should be one Of
the utensils in every kitchen; it
does the work more easily and
more neatly than any knife can. In
getting apples ready for baking, do
not core way through the apple,
but leave a little at the bottom to
hold in any filling which you may
use. Use no sugar, but try putting
a half teaspoonful of butter in each
one; you will find that it gives a
delicious flavor. Bake the apples
with little water in the pan, and
haste them often while they are
cooking.

Second Municipal ublic
Band Concert Draws
Large Crowd to Library
Park on Sunday.
PATRIOTIC NUMBERS POPULAR

The Kenosha Nash band made its
first appearance in public concert on
Sunday afternoon and drew thousands
of Kenoshans to Library Park for a
few enjoyable hours. Instead of gath
ering close to the band stand as is the
wont of the many people, they wander
ed about the park or sat in She shade
of the trees. Old and yound strolled
towards the scene from every direc-
ton until almost every possible space
was occupied.
The band struck up rousing march
for the first number and the standard
set was carried throughout the entire
program. Patriotic selections were the
favorites, while old familiar airs, pop
ular and semi classic numbers follow
ed. Every selection was greeted with
round after round of applause and the
sounding of klaxons voiced the approx
al Of the occupants of the many autos
parked around the square. Sailors
from Camp Logan and the Great Lakes
and soldiers from Camp Herring lent
the touch of militaire to the occasion
and altogether the affair made a fitting
celebration of the Fall of Bastile
Old Glory waved on high proclaiming
the freedom Of France on it's indepen-
dence day.
The band itself did remarkably well.
No one upon hearing the program would
believe that this organization was max
