LOST FOR NINETEEN YEARS
Box Of First-Aid Material Made for
Use in Spanish War Just
Turns Up.

Burr Oak, Mich.-After being on the
way 10 years, box was received by
Capt. Charles P. Wheeler sent him by
express by his mother
Captain Wheeler led a company Of
volunteers In the Spanish-American
war in 1898, and while at Camp AL
ger, Don Loring, va, his mother sent
him box weighing 20 pounds, con-
tanning frst-aid material and medicine.
Before the box arrived the company
had moved to Cuba, and as the COM
pany moved so rapidly the box never
caught up. On his return he tried to
trace the box without success.
Last week the box arrived from Phil
adelphia, being sent by Col. r. II.
Rolfe of the Quartermaster corps, it
being presumably laid aside with
other war material and finally brought
to light.
The contents Of the box were in good
condition, and Captain Wheeler has
turned over the box to the Three Riv-
ers camp Of the Spanish-American Vet
Grams to be disposed of for the benefit
of the Red Cross.

PARTY LEADER IN IDAHO

1t seems to be conceded by politicians of all COM
pleXions that the appointment the senate of John f.
Nugent makes him the Democratic party leader in
Idaho. This seems to be all the more certain he
stands in with Robert H. Elder, the Democratic nation
al committee for Idaho and the present Demo-
cratic governor This is special interest those
who desire federal jobs Just it is of deepest in
terest the aspirants for United States marshal Sen
Nugent in Washington, urging, it is said, the
appointment Of Leroy c. JONES' the state fish and game
warden, to this position when he received Of his
appointment to the senate. The fact that there
are at other candidates for place,
including T. E. Martini the present incumbent, adds
the interest of the situation. No has cinch on
any political appointment until he gets his commission
because concessions have be made in practical
politics especially in a campaign year.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN WARTIME

Enrolment in American public schools has been
affected by the war, but the extent of making it
less than last according to figures compiled by the
department of the interior through the bureau of educa
ton Figures from 1411 cities and 696 counties
districts show increase of close to the normal
amount of u per cent in elementary schools In high
schools, however the is only onefourth of the
usual 9A per cent.
Such increase there is in high school enrolment
is caused by the girl students Fewer boys enrolled
this year in every class in high school except the
fourth; apparently there is healthy tendency for
boys in the senior year to remain and graduate
In city elementary schools the increase in enrolment
is actually somewhat above normal; in city high
schools there is marked falling off, especially among
the boys
Country schools show gains last year both
in elementary and high school enrolment, but not
great would be expected under normal conditions
Rural high schools show increases for both boys and
girls, despite the

Are you coal burner when you
might be wood burner? Have you
woodland that isn't working? What
can the town man and the suburban
dweller do about the coal stringency?
Much would be accomplished toward
meeting the present situation arising
from the unparalleled demand for coal
and from the great burden on the Ma
tons railroads, it is believed, if not
only the farmers who have woodlands
but city and suburban real estate
owners possessing more or less wood
ed tracts of land would draw on these
acreaS for part, at least, of their

The 1918 home card asks that every
day be made a fat saving day and
people are asked to. fry less and to
bake, broil, boil or stew foods instead.
Suggestion is made to save meat
drippings and use these and vegetable
oils for cooking instead of butter. 1t
is said we use and waste two and a
half times as much fat as we need
Butter, lard and lard substitutes are
not to be used when their use can
be avoided
Save Sugar Too
We are asked to make every day a
sugar saving day aid to use fruits,
vegetables and potatoes abundantly
and that we raise all we can for home
use. Hoarding of foods is strongly
condemned and the card states that
anyone who buys or holds a larger
supply of food now than in peace
time, except food canned, dried or
preserved in the home, is helping to
defeat the food administration in its
attempt to secure a just distribution
of food and the establishment of fair
prices. Then the food hoarder is
working against the common good and
even against the very safety of the
country Hoarding food in house holds
is both selfish and unnecessary. The
government is protecting the food sup
