"WAR BRIDES" DUPE SOLDIERS
Women Fortune Hunters Arrested for
Having More Husbands Than
Law Allows.

San Diego, Cal.-Almost since the
United States entered the war soldiers
have been victims of women fortune
hunters. Girls at various camps are
being arrested charged with having an
over quota Of soldier husbands, and
in every case the question Of insur-
ance was the motive
This city has been no exception to
the rule, and with the thousands Of
soldiers and sailors in training at the
camps near by federal officials are
always on the alert, and as result
two girls are under arrest. They gave
their names as Miss Mae Smith and
Mrs. Elsie Byrnes, and both are
pretty. They were caught in the act
Of mailing about 20 letters to sailors
and soldiers asking for money for
clothes and travelling expenses. In
every letter written by the girls was
the phrase: ST wish you oceans OF
love with a kiss on the top Of every
wave" The girls also received IL
letters from ardent lovers and each
letter contained money.

GIRLS DO GOOD WORK
American Telephone Operators
Now Serving in France.
Hundred Who Were Sent Over Civ.
ing Such Efficient Service More
Will Be Sent.

Washington.-To the 100 girls from
telephone operators in France, $50
more in training schools here'may soon
be added, leaving a reserve force Of
400 more on file out of about 5000 ap-
plications.
The telephone is referred to as the
NERVES of the army" and the young
women who have been accepted for
this work have undergone tests as Sc
we're as those to which soldier. at the
front is subjected.
The telephone exchanges often are
only a short distance behind the
trenches, and the operator must pos
sess both courage and calmness under
dangerous circumstances.
"These girls" said Capt. E. J. Wes-
son, who recruited the unit, are going
to astound the people over there by
their efficiency. In Paris it takes from
40 to 60 seconds to complete one call.
Our girls are equipped to handle 800
calls an hour"
Other reports that have reached the
war department from France show
that the American hello girl is making
good rapidly in task as difficult as is
to be found back Of the front line
trenches.
The first group Of operators entered
training school here on January II
for instruction in advanced telephony.
They received practice in the largest
New York exchanges and were then
tried out at military environments. The
course included talks upon personal
hygiene.
The first contingent sailed on March
2. Other groups sailed in March and
April and were stationed at supply de-
pots and debarkatiOn bases.
In addition to speaking both French
and English fiuently, every one of
these girls has stood a loyalty test
which proved that she could be trusted
with military information.
The uniform prescribed consists OF
a coat and skirt Of navy blue serge,
shirtwaist of navy blue Palm Beach
cloth and ght-brimmed hat of blue
felt, while the regulation orange and
white cord On the left sleeve is used to
designate their rank, as operator, SUI
pervisor, chief operator and so on.

WAR NOTES FOR
BADGER FARMERS

A big potato crop is the best insur-
ance against hunger and famine.
After all dairying was the industry
that really made Wisconsin famous.
We need to raise potatoes and to
sell potatoes, but most of all we need
TO eat potatoes.
Wisconsin's summer dairy course is
in continuous operation between March
and November.
Before you choose a slice of bread
in preference to a potato, figure the
cost. Then take the potato.
Placing potatoes on the table three
times a day is one way of singing,
Keep the Home Fires Burning"
Every bird in a flock should be of the
same variety. Cross-bred hens and
scrub hens are usually poor layers.
Boost Wisconsin loyalty. Eat Wis
consin potatoes, save Wisconsin wheat,
help send wheat TO Wisconsin soldiers.
Eat potatoes. The supply is plenti-
ful, the price reasonable. Eating pota-
toes will be the means of saving bread
The Irish earned the name of the
fighting people of the woodland the
Irish diet has often been milk and Pc
tatoes.
But q very few of the tests used in
determining and improving the quality
of dairy products have been developed
outside of Wisconsin.

WHEN VISITORS
COME UNAWARES
BY NELLIE MAXWELL, Department
Of Farmers Institute of the Univer-
Sity Of Wisconsin,

sity Of Wisconsin.
Unless you are housewife and have
experienced that same call gone" feel
Ing, you cannot appreciate what really
happens sometimes when company
comes within a few minutes of meal
time. There are times when it just
seems that there is not enough of any
thing to go around.
OF course, there is but one thing to
dO-make the best Of it. If the visit
Ors are from town, a few crisp slices
Of we'll Drowned salt pork which have
been rolled in cOrnmeal before frying
will probably please them as well as
the best fried chicken. Foods that
are ordinary on the farm are often
q great treat to the city dweller This
crisp pork served with a gravy made
of corn flour cooked in little of the
fat and good rich milk with salt and
pepper added to season, served with
fresh new potatoes from the garden
will be sufficiently satisfying for the
most healthy appetite.
From the garden we will have fresh
lettuce for salad, green onions and
radishes for a relish and berries Of
some kind for dessert.
Canned meats will give a variety Of
all the year round meats. A can of
chicken may be opened, served with
cream sauce and poured over hot
biscuits, making an emergency dish
which is as good as chicken pie.
1t is never quite safe to be without
jar of good salad dressing This
may be seasoned to combine with what
| ever is used as salad. Whipped cream
or little sour cream, added to the
dressing makes it go farther and taste
better.
A good dish Of cottage cheese gar
nished with some raspberry jam Cor
jelly may be used when served with
small cakes and cupful of tea makes
a delicious dessert.
Cream soups Of various kinds are
quickly prepared, mullins, gems and
baking powder biscuits are quick
breads, easily made in five minutes
and baked in - to Is minutes.
One always has plenty of eggs on
the farm as we'll as milk. cream and
butter, so that an Omelet with a green
salad will make another good main
dish to serve in hurry.
Spinach and swiss chard, If canned
now, will be great addition to the
diet served as a Vegetable or in cream
soups. Such vegetables are quickly
heated and when seasoned we'll are
most satisfactory.
Here is the recipe for hurry-up
sponge cake: Separate the yolks and
whites Of four eggs. Beat the yolks
until thick, add one cupful of sugar
and one cupful of rice flour or corn
flour, one-eighth of a teaspoonful Of
salt, one tablespoonful of lemon Juice
and then fold in the stiff1y beaten
whites. Bake in gem pans. Served with
whipped cream these make a most
dainty dessert.

conSin ranks second in acreage and
production Of fiber.
Large areas in Wisconsin are adj
mirably suited to hemp culture; the
climate is particularly suited to the
production of deWretted fiber of good
strength and high quality the yields
of fiber obtained in this state have
been entirely satisfactory, ranging
from 1000 to over l 500 pounds to the
acre; and our farmers have received
profitable returns from the culture OF
the crop.
In the Improvement Of machinery
for handling the crop one Of the most
serious problems of the industry is be-
ing solved. Hand labor Is now unnec-
esSary in handling WiscOnsin's hemp
crop. 1t is harvested by special ma
chinery, and especially constructed and
equipped mills are established in the
state for separating the fiber from the
stalks. In fact, Wisconsin now has
over 70 per cent of the total number
of hemp mills in the United States.
In 1908 six acres were grown on the
asylum farm at Mendoza and three
acres on the prison farm at Waupun
by the agronomy department of the
Wisconsin experiment station in CO.
operation with the office of fiber in
VeStigationS of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. The results
were so promising that the investga-
tional work was rapidly increased dur
ing 1909, 1910 and 1911. During these
years fields were grown at Mendoza,
Waupun and VirOqua. At each OF
these points good results were OBJ
tanned. At Waupun in 1911 the hemp
was grown on land badly infested with
quack grass, and in spite of an I'M
favorable season Il yield of 2,lOO
pounds of fiber to the acre was OBJ
tanned, and the quack grass was prac
tically destroyed. The results were sc
encouraging that several nelghborlne
farmers became interested, and in 1917
grew a total of 125 acres. Since that
time hemp has been grown in that VI
cinity every year as a commercial
crop. During the last few years the
industry has extended chiefly from
Waupun to Brandon and westward
through the region between FairWate1
and MarkeSan.

implements to be called upon TO sat

This is the answer which David +.
Houston, secretary Of the Unlten
States department Of agriculture,
gives to the question What is the fu-
ture of farming?'
"There is a great work to be done.
Urban people have begun to see their
relation to agriculture. The impor-
lance Of the farmer and producer has
become impressed on the mind of the
nation as never before. 1t will serve
to make easier in the future the con-
sideration Of those things about which
heretofore it was difficult even to en-
list public attention. The war really
has made us think economically about
food We've nearly always had an
abundance, exported more or less, but
still have had an abundance for our
own people That's why we have been
more Wasteful and less conserving
than other nations. When the war
broke out / estimated that we wasted
in the household approximately $780,
100000 worth Of food annually; but
that was a low estimate.
