WOMAN SPEAKER
COMING TO STATE

Miss Eleanor Barker, who will
speak in Hope on May "a at the
district meeting of the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, is one
lot SIX women considered the best
women speakers in the United
States Food Administration, and
she is one Of the leaders of the six.
Miss Barker speaks on food adj
ministration work from a long
experience in Indiana where she
has been serving as deputy food
administrator under DR.. IT. r.
Barnard.
Miss Barker was educated in
the schools Of Louisville, Kentucky
and is a graduate of Western Col
lege, Oxford, Ohio, with a degree
of A. B. and of the Indiana law
school with the degree of L. L. B.
She won the highest honors in
both junior and senior years, and
was the first woman to win the
highest honors in any Indiana law
school, and the only woman to
win two years in succession.
She was the first Indiana won.
an to be admitted to the federal
courts Of that state. and is now
a practicing attorney in the city
of Indianapolis. She served for
years as a director on the State
Board of Woman's Franchise of
Indiana, and organized and sery-
ed as president of the Indianapolis
Federation Of Franchise Leagues.
1t is very largely due to the ef-
forts Of Miss Barker that the city
of Indianapolis will soon inaugur-
ate a system Of police women to
handle it's social problems. Miss
Barker is intensely interested in
the wider use of our school plants
as social centers and in the estab-
fishing Of community club hous-
eS.
She entered the Food Admins
tration work to take charge Of
the food card campaign in Indian
|apolis. She is one of the original
"fourteen-minute women organ
lied by Mrs. G.. M. Henderson of
Indianapolis to aid DR.. Barnard
in the food campaign. She was
pressed into service as a "four-
teen-minute speaker because she
had served as both state and ma
%tional speaker in various suffrage
campaigns. She had just finished
a series Of county war councils in
Indiana. She is one of the speak
ers on the recent, state lecture
tour under the the auspices of
the United States Food Admin
istration, and spoke in six states
an average Of twice daily.
Miss Barker comes TO North
Dakota with the highest possible
Recommendation as a speaker and
is said to be the equal of Mrs.
Basil Clark who spoke in North
Dakota to packed houses last Win
ter, and who thrilled every audi,
ence that listened to her.

WITH THE EDITORS.
THE MOTOR VEHICLE AS A NECESSITY

When conditions created by the war began to
emphasize the necessity Of curtailing our uxuries
and bending our efforts in the direction of strictly
utilitaran undertakings began to hear about the
automobile ''pleasure vehicle' and there was
much talk Of reducing its use as a war measure But
when the attempt made to draw the line between
the 'pleasure vehicle" and the automobile used for
business purposes, it began to appear that very
small percentage of vehicles of this characters could
be cassed as pleasure vehicles' 1t avs found that
machines which are commonly regarded as coming
within the class of peasure vehicles were in most
instances used or less for business purposes and
necessary to the conduct of business.
The Scientific American reports the researches Of
the engineering experiment department Of the Iowa
State college, which recently made survey Of the
traffic passing certain point on the road between
Ames and Des Moines, This observation was made
during period Of 10 consecutive days. Nineteen
hundred ninety-five vehicles, 1852 Of which were
motor driven and only 243 drawn by horses, carried
1851 passengers. Of these vehicles CAT, including
nearly all Of those drawn by horses, were classified
as farm traffic. ,227 as nterrban and only 121 as
tourist. Sixteen out of every II vehicles were de-
voted primarily to the transportation Of passengers.
The Scientific American finds that "a per cent Of
all the traffic passing this road at this point
could be regarded traffic between local farms
other local traffic Of utiitarian character.-Min-

TRACTOR SERVICE
SCHOOL AT LOCAL
AGENCY THIS WEEK
Experts From Avery Factory to
Be at French & Welch's
Feb. 7 and 8

An Avery tractor service school will
be conducted by factory experts at
French &. WEIGHS on Thursday and
Friday for the benefit of tractor oper-
ators from all parts of the Slope re-
giOn.
"In order that those interested in
tractors may become more familiar
with their care and operation said
George A. WEIGH. of the local Avery
agency today, this free service school
will be held under the supervision of
competent instructors furnished by
the Avery company. The object of
tnIs Avery free service school is to
get tractor owners and all others who
are interested together with Compel
ent instructors where they can ex-
change ideas and ask questions and
get actual experience in handling,
taking care of and reroiring tree
tors. In this way they will be able to
better care for their Il aoloIs, e.nc.ency
will be promoted; they will be en-
abled to do their utmost in assuring
North Dakota a win the war crop for
1918, and much trouble and expense
will be eliminated.
Motor, ignition troubles, carbure-
tor adjustments, magnetos and other
vital parts Of the tractor will be dis
cussed and fully explained by means
Of demonstrations and charts. 1t
ma es no difference whether a man
owns an Avery tractor or not Every
one interested in tractor farming is
invited, and l am confident they will
and it we'll worth their while"

VALUATION OF THE AGED

cold roosters Is or IT, No intention of refec-
ton upon any of our readers in this 1t comes from
daily editing of that Baltimore poultry market re-
portfolio hens 80; old roosters 10 or H.
Why the frightful difference i'll the valuation OF
aged fowls? The years as they 60 by, If enough OF
them, dom make hen any better than rooster
for table purposes After the age of II or IS years
say there Just as much firmness Of character and
tissue about she bird as about he bird, and yet
these market fellows throw in the age indlscrlml-
nately and declare II or 14-cent difference. You
are charged 80 cents the pound for l9year-od hen
and only 16 or II for nine year.old rooster for
instance and one caives and mastcates just easily
as the other with no difference in flavor
Maybe there s conservation in it. The hen lays
eggs The rooster doesn't. Therefore, put the hen
price so high that the folks will prefer 16c rooster.
Moreover rooster eats more gram than hen, and
we We got to save grain Maybe you think he doesn t
but he does You We heard him cluck and cluck
'sHere' s something NICE Hurry! Hurry.' and all
the hens would come running up, and then he d swa
low the morsel himself and look fat and happy.
Maybe those poultry market fellows are Jus.red hot
conservationists and taking it out Of old roosters

MAYBE WE'RE IT SOME MORE

Observe the baker endeavor to pass the
buck" Chicago bakers are already united in an
appeal to the food administration to raise the price
of bread, on the ground that the victory loaf costs
more.
Some Of the substitutes suggested do cost more
than wheat and the administration does not definite
" provide what the substitute shall be-. Looks as if
the buclz' were coming way, all right. If the
bakers don't get the raise in price Of the loaf they
can make even by using poor substitute.
Happy the man whose wife can-and will-bake
the familys bread!
