dishes are heavy ana too much trOu-
BILE. Paper cups make it possible to
carry these foods.
Bread is an important part of the
school lunch, especially as sandwiches.
Whole wheat steamed brown, graham,
oatmeal, barley, corn, and rye breads
may be varied with nut, raisin, date,
and currant breads, so there should be
no danger of monotony if the filings,
too. are changed. Sandwich filings
are important now, too, for we must
economic on beef, mutton and pork,
which can be shipped to Europe, and
use cheese, eggs and chicken instead.
Cup custards, eggs cooked in the
shell, baked beans, cheese, lettuce and
celery sandwiches, various small cups
of salad, fresh fruits, pickles, and
occasionally cold meats, offer the va
a school lunch. The most delicious
foods in the world will cease to be in
viting if they appear day after day.
By planning ahead for the lunch bas-
ket as one does for the family meals,
the daily food at home may be made
to fit the needs of the lunch basket.
Another essential Of the lunch bas-
ket is the surprise. Even the older
children are not beyond the delight of
we'll managed surprise in the form
Of bit Of candy wrapped and placed
at the very bottom of the basket. A
favorite fruit, few nuts or a pretty
cake, to be found and enjoyed at the
last, is always a whet to the appetite,
for the thought of what may be hidden
makes the plain food go down easily.
We who have grown older and know
the value of these joys can live them
again in the pleasure of passing them
on to the little folks"

POINTERS FOR
BADGER FARMERS

Order early. This applies to things
as far apart as binder Irvine and coal.
1t isn't boarding to provide for next
years supplies; it's patriotic wisdom
to make your plans as economical as
possible.
Don't console yourself with the
thought that You are doing your share
by eating $3.50 bread. If you can use
one ounce less of wheat than you are
using, you are stacking" until you
do 1t.
If eggs are worth more to you when
there is less danger Of spelling, kill
the rooster in the flock If feed is
worth more to you converted into eggs
than into tail feathers, kill the rooster.
Much poor milk comes from dirty
cans and from leaving the milk in the
barn or near ceSSpOol. Poor milk is
not only Il loss to the farmer who takes
1t to the creamery or cheese factory,
but loss to the farmers who bring
good milk.

child life Of the world will be in your
hands. l place this before you on the

cldTcS d uOTLuSTu
Wisconsin editor. He points out that
the purpose of the fair is not horse
racing, midway" features, nor lunch
counters, but the educational value of
having a competent judge explain why
premiums are awarded as they are.
Duncan Marshall, head Of the assO-
citation Of fairs in our neighbOr to the
north, Alberta, Canada, describes his
opinion Of county fair judging thus:
II have found that the greatest sue
cess is achieved by the judge who has
been graduated from an agricultural
college and has also made good on
his own farm A man can learn most
of what there is to know about farm
ing without going to an agricultural
college, and he can learn great deal
about live stock without having any
training, but it will take 60 or 70 years
to do it. It is a lot better in any
business, especially in the business Of
agriculture, to learn a little by the
experience Of the other fellow as well
as to spend all your time on your
own experience learning it that way.
And, after all, training in agricultural
colleges is, or should be, simply learn
ing by the other fellows experience.
That Is, the instruction that is given
in them should be the experience Of
other men who have been operating
land in that part Of the country and
who have been raising live stock.
II also think 1t very important to
have meetings Of these judges, espe-
cially your local men in your own
state or your own province, occasion
ally; have them get together for three
or four days or week prior to the
opening Of the fairs to discuss the
particular type and particular charac-
teriSticS, in order that all the men
going out to judge Shorthorns, or
judge PercherOnS or Judge Angus, may
keep in mind some uniform system Of
judging. There will be the reversal
Of DECISIONS We are always glad to
have that, because 1t is an educa-
tiOnal value in itself. These men
will get some uniform type in their
uIHlS, anu IHelI Judging HAY perhaps
be little better done than if they had
not come together.
"The practical man with the train
ing is the kind of man we want to get
to do the judging at our fairs, and
think that the judging is something, if
the fair is to have the real education
al value for which we spend the money
-and that should be the only reason
why we spend the money on exhibit
tiOns-I think that is something for
which we want to get the very best
and the most practical and most capa-
BILE men; let them hand out the
awards"

OUR GREAT HOME GUARD
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw.


It is for the women of Amer
lea to uphold the morale of the
country. The effect of the war
is to break down moral stand
ards, and we women must seek
to prevent this.
We are the volunteer soldiers
Of the great Army of the Home.
We are the Home Guard. The
wonderful morale Of France is
due to the splendid conduct Of
it's women, and we may we'll en-
ulate their example.
One Of our highest duties is
to protect the children of the
nation against the results of the
dislocation Of home and school.
Our task is threefOld. We must
uphold moral standards, in
crease and preserve our food
supply, and encourage and in
spire our men. We must keep
our heads level, we must be
orderly and kind and seek to
prevent disorder and disorgani-
Zation.
Our portion is hard work and
sacrifice.
Expensive dress is now bad
taste, and extravaganza is crimi-
nal.

FARMERS TO PUT
WAR FUND DRIVE
OVER TOP In DAY
VIE WITH CITY WORKERS IN DE
ELIMINATION TO PUT PEP
IN BIG CAMPAIGN.

Farmers and residents of rural
communities are determined that they
will not lag behind the cities and
large centers of the state in setting
up their respective organizations for
the United War Work Campaign to
be held next month.
This is the word received locally
from Madison where the state head
quarters for the consolidated drive are
located. Emerson Ella of that city,
executive chairman for the campaign
which has merged in it the Army Y.
M. G. A, the Y. w. G. A, National
Catholic War Council, Jewish We'll
fare Board, War Camp Community
Service, American Library Associa
ton and the Salvation Army, writes to
the local chairman that all indications
point to the rural districts being in
readiness next month to complete
their task within single day. Every
effort will be bent to complete the
drive for funds in twenty-four hours.
With the Jew and Gentle, Catholic
and Protestant, eagerly working
shoulder to shoulder, the campaign is
confidently expected to be successfully
eliminated here in a whirlwind drive.
''The boys in France want to know
what the folks back home are doing
to help win the war;" says Chairman
Ella "They are doing their bit loyalty.
They will want to know whether the
folks at home are doing theirs"
For the Soldiers.
Emphasis is laid on the coming
drive by Louis C. Bradshaw, cam
paign director for Wisconsin, that the
funds to be raised are not for the
Army Y. M C. A., the Knights of Col
umbus or for any other Of the seven
organizations united in the common
cause, but for the sailors and soldiers
fighting 10 make this a decent place
to live in.
Helping to win the war by helping
the enlisted men maintain their mo-
rale, by making them comfortable and
by providing them with home atmos-
phere, is just as essential in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Bradshaw as any other war
work these stirring times.
"These seven organizations" he
said, take the sick out Of homesick
for our men afield."
The United War Work Campaign
merged at the request of President
Wilson and endorsed by the war de-
partment, marks campaign unique
in the annals of Wisconsin as we'll as
that of any state in the union. 1t is
the first time in the worlds history
that all creeds and sects have blended
into harmonious group, bent on but
single goal-the winning of the war.
