BAD NEWS FOR BERLIN

The war news from eastern front
these days is bad news FOR the German
people. Quotations fr.m German
newspapers portray the gloom that
cverhangs the people in the large
cities. That the people in the small
towns and country are equally de-
pressed is not to be doubted.
The Liberty Loan bond buyers Of
the preceding loans have their share
in the success of the entente allies.
They furnished the sinews of war not
Only to fight the U-boats and to build
ships, not only to raise, equip, and
send our soldiers over, not only to sup
ply them and our allies with food and
munitions, but more than ;s6,000,000 Of
their money has been loaned to our
allies so that they may prosecute the
war with vigor and strength.
We here at home have an oppor-
tunity to send the Germans some mcre
bad news. The Germans have great
repsect for money; they know its vital
value in waging war. They know. too.
that the support the American people
give a Government loan measures
largely the support they give their
Government, the moral as well as the
financial support they give their ar
mics in the field.
A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as a
defeat for them on the battle field, and
it will mean as much. 1t spells their
defeat; it breaks their morale; it
means power to their enemies. A sub
scription to the loan is a contribution
to German defeat and American vic
tory.

THIS WEEKS FOOD FACT

Seventy-five per cent of the sugar
used in this country has to be brought
here in ships. Every possible ship is
needed for the transportation of troops
and supplies to the other side.
You drink ships every time you use
sugar unnecessarily in a beverage.
You eat ships every time you eat
candy, purely a luxury. sJW
Candy manufacturers have been linn
tied to so per cent of their normal
supply of sugar-yet figures show the
receipts for candy to be larger than
normal and constantly on the increase.
Eating candy now is not playing the
game.
The sugar is needed for canning, the
ships are needed for soldiers and sup
plies for them; the labor used in candy
manufacture could be diverted to a
more useful purpose.
Why not say goodbye to the lolly-
pop, the creams and sea foams until
after the war?

THE SUGAR WASTE IN COFFEE

used in tea and coffee. Think it over
how is it in your home? Isn't there
a chance for saving?

U-B0ATS USE OIL CAMOUFLAGE
Submarine Commanders Try q New
Trick, but Twas Quickly
Found Out.

London. - Tricky German U-boat
commanders have conceived new plan
designated to deceive crews OF the al
lied submarine destroyers In the game
Of hide and seek In European waters.
When a depth bomb Is discharged and
does not cripple or destroy the Ger
man undersea boat. as sometimes hap
pens, q quantity Of oil is released by
some device OF the submersible and
quickly rises to the waters surface.
The hope of the German U-boat cap
tain is that the commander Of the de-
stroyer will see the oil, believe that the
submarine has been wrecked and drop
no more depth charges. Meantime. the
German Is endeavoring to escape.
American and British commanders Of
destroyers and submarine chasers dis
covered the scheme Of the Germans
some time ago and since then have
been dropping depth bombs In greater
numbers than previously, using the oil
as a guide to the general location OF
their target. "Oil camouflage" the
American and British navy men call
this latest German submarine trick.

SEVEN REASONS WHY SUGAR
MUST BE SAVED
And Seven Ways by Which You Can
Save 1t

Michigan loyal citizens are request
ed to consume only two pounds of SUI
gar per person per month. The follow
ing seven reasons will show why the
request is made and the seven sugges-
tons will assist materially in making
the 2-pound request practical.
Seven Reasons Why
Our great war program has re6ucec
our sugar carrying fleet.
The sugar requirements of our
Overseas Army are very large.
Our own sugar crop is less than we
anticipated.
The small island, Cuba, must feed
the world with sugar.
We have diverted $4,000 tons of
sugar shipping in order that Belgium
may have food.
Germans have destroyed sugar beet
fields and factories in northern France
and Italy.
More than 100000 pounds of SUI
gar have been sunk off our shores by
German submarines.
Seven Ways to Save
Use fresh fruits without sugar.
Cook dried fruits without addition
al sugar; they already contain sugar.
Can more fruit without sugar; put
up fewer jams and jellies.
Use less sugar in tea and coffee; you
will soon learn to like them better this
way.
Avoid such sugar Injuries as cam
dy, cakes, chewing gum, sweet drinks
and sodas.
Use honey, maple sugar and sirups
and other sweeteners when available.
Cut out all dessert or other dishes
that require sugar.

JAIL NOT NOW NEEDED

The old saying "there's nothing new
under the sun" would be true were it
not for the fact that the members of
the police force as well as the justices
of the peace in Hancock report that
not single arrest has been made in
the only city in the Copper Country
since May /, 1918, or during the past
three months. The state went dry
on April 80 and notwithstanding the
fact that goodly supplies were sup
posed to have been laid in by those
who had the money to buy and be-
cause of this it was believed that
trouble would arise sooner or later,
the police have not been called upon
to settle even the slightest dispute and
DRINKS on the streets have been very
scarce articles. A Jail without pris-
oner for three months in city with a
population of about 10000 and sew
eral different nationalities in the COM
munity is uncommon and the record is
one that the officers are. pointing to-
ward with pride.
With no tramps, no loafers and no
drunks there is no need of a city Jail
and the unique record which the city
now enjoys will probably extend into
years instead of months.-Hancock

FOLLOW RULES" is
WARNING TO WHEAT
MEN FIGHTING SMUT

East Lansing, Aug. ga word of
caution is being circulated by the
Michigan Agricultural college among
the farmers who this fall are prepar-
ing to fight Shrinking smut of wheat,
a disease which annually destroys a
considerable part of the states grain
crop. This word is that while formal
dehyde has been found thoroughly re-
liable and trustworthy as preventive
of smut, it must be applied to the seed
with care and exactly as the rules say.
This suggestion is being made to
the farmers for the reason that last
fall number of growers reported
that their seed wheat was damaged
during its treatment with formalde-
hyde. Investigation by the expert
ment station, of several of these COM
laints led to the discovery that in al
most every instance the trouble arose
through some error-either too much
chemical was applied, the grain was
kept covered too long, or it was not
properly aired. If the rules are fol-
lowed carefully, however, the seed can
be treated with perfect safety both by
the wet or dry methods, the station
declares. In the light of this fact,
every grower of grain is being urged
to safeguard his wheat by treating
i. before planting.
Information on how the formalde-
hyde should be applied can be obtain
ed by farmers either by making in
quiries of the local county agricultur-
al agents, or by writing to the De-
rartment of Botany, Michigan Agri-
cultural college, and asking for ok

Sinking Smuth of Wheat"

CONSERVATION OF CREDIT

Not only should the goods and labor
Of the Nation be conserved for the
prosecution of the war; the credit of
the Nation must be conserved for the
same purpose.
!. This is being impressed upon the
banks, and it should be impressed upon
the people, too-the borrowers from
banks.
Y ALI of the banks of the country are
being urged by the Federal Reserve
Board to curtail their loans. They
are urged to loan money only where
the borrower is going to use it in some
way that will aid in or contribute to
winning the war.
! This policy is not aimed at hamper
ing legitimate business. 1t aims to
help win the war, which is the best
thing possible for business. It simply
means that money wanted for nones
sential purposes should be refused
Let the nonessentials wait until the
war is finished. The Government
needs the money to carry on the war.
The farmers, the men and the indus
tries engaged in war work or engag-
ed in producing things needed for the
efficiency both of our soldiers and Of
our home people, need the credit to
carry on their enterprises.
Merchants should not borrow money
to stock up on Injuries or things that
the people should not buy at this time.
No one should borrow money now to
spend needlessly or extravagantly.
Unnecessary building, unneeded arti-
cles, unessential enterprises should all
await the ending of the war.
The Federal Reserve Board points
out that in the interest of successful

WAR TRAINING AT
MT. PLEASANT NORMAL

The War Department has officially
designated Central Michigan Normal
School of Mt. Pleasant the location of
unit of the Students Army Train
ing corps, to be under the direct super
vision of the War Department and to
provide military training for boys of
central and northern Michigan, be-
tween the ages of 18 and Fl. An army
officer will be in charge, assisted Dy
five men who are now being trained
expressly for this purpose at Govern
ment expense at Fort Sheridan. HI
fes, uniforms, overcoats and other
equipment will be provided free by the
War Department.
The purpose of this special War De-
partment plan is to train boys who
have had good preliminary education
to become eligible to enter officers
training camps, and for other special
lied war service. The War Depart
ment has further planned to supple
ment this training by six weeks in
tensive course at summer camp at
Government expense, although it is
possible that new draft regulations by
Congress may upset this part of the
plan so far as the older boys are con-
cerned.
Central Michigan Normal School is
receiving frequent instructions from
the War Department by telegram ano
letters and will at any time commune
cate the most recent information in
reply to inquiries from eligible boys
or their parents. This Office has on

L l.UE BETTER RAMS
FOR MICH. FLOCKS

East Lansing, August 29.-An ap-
peal to owners of sheep in Michigan to
improve their flocks by employing a
higher class Of sires, is being made
this season by the Michigan Agricul-
tural college.
"There are several good breeds
adapted to Michigan" declares Verne
A Freeman, extension man in sheep
husbandry. "The black-faced, medi-
um-wool breeds such as the Hamp-
shire, Oxford and Shropshire are the
rAost popular for small farm flocks.
For larger flocks the fine woods such
as the Rambouillets and Merinos are
best, if the eve lambs are to be saved
for breeders, because of their hardi-
ness, heavy shearing ability and long
lives.
"But to produce the best mutton
lambs, and when we plan to market
all the lambs in the fall, it is best
to use a good mutton ram on large
flocks as well. By all means use
purebreed ram Of the breed you are
starting within other words avoid
the fault of continually changing
breeds. Select sire that is active
and vigorous, straight and strong in
legs and body, and with full and
even development Of all parts. he
should also have dense even fleece
of fair length and fineness for the
breed.
Secure a ram at once if you have
not already done so, for they are likely
to be scarce and hard to find late in
the season."
