no CONSERVE TRANSFORMATIONS

A.# D. Wilson, the federal food administrator Of Mime
sofa, returns from Washington with the report to the TWln
city newspapers that the national food administration Will
undertake to apply the principle of conservation to transpor-
tation. The particular method by which this is to be brought
about is through the encouragement OF a system OF buying
home products. That is to say, by advising and encouraging
the consumers to buy foodstuffs Of the home manufacturer
and Of the home growing interests, so far as feasible, and thus
save transporting the goods to the market centcrs and back
again.
The idea is splendid. Take, for instance, flour. What
d grand thing it would be if every Watertown household would
use only the flour made by the Stokes Milling Company! 1t
goes without saying that many a carload OF outside flour is
consumed right under the nose of one of the biggest institu-
lions in the northwest, outside of the Twin Cities.
Again, Watertown has a packing plant which has but
recently begun to operate, following the process of reorganiza-
ton. Why pay freight on livestock to the livestock market
centers, there to have it converted into an edible form, and
then pay freight on the carcass back to WATERFOWL?
But that is exactly what we have been doing for years,
and what we shall continue to do unless we change our sys-
tenn of meat distribution.
This principle could be applied to various phases and
features Of our system of distribution. We are shipping
trainlohds Of foodstutfs to eastern centers, where it is con-
yerted into another form, and returned to us, with freight
charges for both directions added. Every city and hamlet
having a local manufacturing plant could conserve transpor-
tations by buying the home product.
But one Of the factors that has operated 10 the disad-
vantage Of the buy-atlome slogan relates to the system we
have mentioned-the system Of distribution. Most ~assuredy
the public should not be expected to pay freight on goods
that are never shipped. Take sugar as an example. Some
years ago the editor Of the Daily News resided i'll Colorado,
almost q stones throw Of one Of the largest sugar factories
!l the VEST. And YET the wholesale price OIL sugar III The TOWN
III which the factory was located was the New York wholesale
market plus the freight from New York to Grand junction,
Colo, where the factory was established.
IT the national food administration, i'll its efforts to con-
serve with respect to transportation, succeeds in eliminating
only = portion of this unwarranted charge against the consum-
ersi will accomplish something worthy Of commentator.
We suggest that the people of.Watertown, at the earliest
opportunity within reason. begin TO cooperate with the ma
tional food administration by buying Watertown-made flour
Flour, belt remembered, is not sold oil. the basis Of the New
York market plus the freight from New York to Watertown
We might also go q step ~furtheri iii this direction by buy

Reddy Comes Back With a
Bright Idea.

In vain Reddy Fox sat on the bank
Of the Smiling Pool waiting for Jerry
Muskrat to reappear. After awhile it
became clear to Reddy that Jerry
didn't intend to return. He got up
and stretched. Then he yawned. He
looked down into the Smiling Pool and
his face was anything but pleasant.
In fact, there was an ugly look on
Reddy's face.
Now, what did he have to think
of that mud for?' growled Reddy to
himself. Everything was going fine
until he thought of that mud. He
was SO interested in the plans for
that house for me that in a few min
utes more I would have had him out
or there to show me what to do and
how to do it. Then he remembered
that he had to have mud to build a
mouse properly and that ended his in
terest. I believe he was as disap-
pointed at having to give up the idea
OF that house as I am at not having
him for my dinner. I must think this
over. I certainly must
The next night Reddy was back at
the Smiling Pool, just as handsome
as ever. just as pleasant as ever, and,
II jerry Muskrat had only known it,
just as crafty as ever. He waited
some time for Jerry to show himself.
You see, having remembered that no
house could be built without mud and
that there was no mud to be had
where Reddy would want to build a
house. Jerry had given up all thought
of that house and concluded that
Reddy had done the same. So he
wasn't looking for Rsddy to return
| this night.
AS soon as he saw Jerry swimming
Reddy called to him. Hello, Jerry

for you. I've thought of a way to
get the mud for that new house, so

In an instant Jerry was all interest.
He headed straight toward the bank

Amparito Farrar Says She
Has Sung Everything From
Opera to EfTickIe Toe.''

American entertainers, singers. act
ors and actresses, dancers and Jazz
artists have a greater opportunity to
help beat back the boche across the
Rhine than they may think, accord
ing to Amparito Farrar. a concert So
prano, who went overseas several
weeks ago to aid in the recreation
program of the Y. M. c. A, Knights
Of Columbus, Salvation Army and
other organizations.
In letter to James Forbes, chair
man of the program committee of
Americas Over There Theater League,
she says that after an American en-
tertainer visits hospital the wound
ed men want to get right out of bed
and rejoin their units.
Find Work Is Enjoyable.
II am hard at work." she writes,
singing every night and love every
minute of it. The boys seem to enjoy
me as much as enjoy them, and al
ways say. oh, please don't go yet.
Have a heart. Sing just one more.
And of course sing until there isn't
a note left in my voice. I am going
to be down in this section quite a
while, with headquarters here. Next
week I am going to give recital in
the municipal theater for the city of
and the officers and soldiers of
the allied armies. It is the second of
a series of Franco-American concerts
here. Quite an honor, I am assured.
Il sing everything for the men. They
are SO enthusiastic and so human. 1t
is so big and marvellous that I feel
awed and wish I could stay until the
drop of the hat. You simply cannot
imagine what has been accomplished.
Meets All Kinds of Conditions.
II have sung in motor camps, "
and Knights of Columbus huts and
dugouts. Salvation Army bakeries,
Red Cross hospitals and even at the
bedsides of the boys, one at a time,
everything from grand opera to
Tickle Toe L even dance a little.
And such spirit the boys have! They
want to get right out of bed and lick
the boche. We won't go back till it's
over, over here is the entire senti-
ment. Nothing is too good for them.
Try to persuade lot more people to
come over-especially girls. The day
we arrived in - some Americans
ran out of a shop crying: American
girls! Gee. those American girls look
good to us!'
