Il 10 So EasyI

Boston ia famous for Its beans, but
those who "know beans" will tell you
that none are so delicious az those
beans baked In the ground according
to the manner of guides and lumber
men In the Maine woods. Not long
ago man from the Middle West took
hunting trip through the Pine Tree
state. He hired camp. and his
cook was Frenchman long expert
enced in the art Of cooking. The man
was delighted with the beans. and ate
them three times day. When he
went out. he asked the Frenchman II
he would give him his formula for
cooking beans. Sure" said Joe.
"Shes jes' so easy as nottin'. II you

What the Duke said,

The Duke Of Wellington. of course.
never said up guards. and at 'em"
at Waterloo. but is 1t generally known
how near he came to saying it7 Sir
Herbert Maxwell, In his biography Of
the duke, points out whnt Is the prob
able origin Of the pleasing legend.
Late In the afternoon Of that memoir
able June 10 the first and second bat-
talions Of the Third Chasseurs were
foremost In the attack on Mont-Snint-
Jean. They had reached crossrond,
unaware that the British troops were
lying behind the wnyside banks. ac-
cordlng to orders, to remain prone
when under fire but not actually en-
gagged. Then, at the proper moment.
WellIngton's voice was heard. clear
above the storm. "Stand up. guards !"
It was Maitland's brigade OF guards
that thus "stoOd up" and. with a VIC
torious rush. swept the chasseurs out
OF the combat.

in which the young ladies were dress-

shading aud the appearance on the
stage, all helped to make the evening
. success. In the entire program there
WAS not one word the least out Of

comedy which sometimes creeps into
such programs. The manner In which

SUBSTITUTE PRICES
HERE MEET AVERAGE

With housewives and consumers
all over the state questioning the
legitimacy of the prices of wheat
substitutes. the United States Food
Administration for Colorado has re-
Gently made the announcement that
the cost OF wheat flour here 10 low
er than In any state in the Union ex-
cept Oregon. and that the average
prices OF the substitute grains is
practically level with the prices Of
all the other states.
Substitute grains are not raised in
Colorado to any great extent and
their cost with freight and other
charges added is bound to make the
price OF products from these grains
relatively higher than the price OF
wheat.
Considerable hope In being felt in
food administration offices through
out the state that with Increased
manufacture and improved methods
the price of substitutes Will gradu-
ally be lowered until q nomal price
has been established.

wheat SAVING
STILL VITAL
TO VICTORY

Colorado has been saving wheat
saving II with all of her western
vigor and determination to feed
American soldiers and the starving
people OF the allies. But the need
has not been met. The time has
not come when conservation can be
thrown aside: when loyal Ameri-
cans can eat rs much. as often, and
what they want.
A report. which may be caused by
misunderstanding or may be the out
growth OF vicious propaganda. has
been receiving a certain credence Of
late to the effect that the need Of
further conservation is past.
Such a report is absolutely un-
founded" declared Robert ]. Grant.
executive manager of the Colorado
who relinquishes his efforts to save
wheat in every way possible Is help
Ing his countrys enemy"
Food Administrator Herbert Hoover.
sensing the seriousness OF the stu
alton should Americans In any
great number stop saving flour. has
sent to every state the following
telegram:
Reports have been circulated that
food administration officials state
further wheat conservation not
necessary. No statement of the
character has ever been issued. Tho
actual position is that our supply
until harvest allows home consump-
ton OF approximately one-third
normal II we are to maintain allied
supplies. The actual position 10 that
| in farmers hands and storage we
had at the beginning OF May seventy
five million bushels of wheat to
carry US for approximately three
months or with an early harvest per-
haps two weeks shorter. Our norm
al consumption for three months
would be one hundred and twenty
million bushels. not allowing allies

fore the food administration execu-
tive. Robert J. Grant. His only do
tense was that he did not under
stand the regulations.
