The New West Trade furnishes
some figures in regard to the splen-
did work of the food administration
that are gratifying in the extreme.
They show that the American peo-
pie are willing to voluntarily make
sacrifices to assist in promoting tie
successful termination of the war.
The magnitude of their patriotism
may be judged by comparison of
the following figures:
preliminary work began Nav
10, 1917. Food control act passed
August 10, 1917. Wheat exports
since July Estimated surplus for
export, 2O,O0O,OOO bushels; actual
shipments to June, 100000, 900
bushels. Beef exports Ordinary
rate, 100000 to 100000 pounds,
monthly; largest single month this
year, 100000 pounds. Pork ex-
ports-Ordinary rate, $4,000, 900
pounds monthly; largest month this
year, 3O8, 100000 pounds. Price

present price, $3.50 per barrel.

pinch OF salt and stir in four table
spoonfuls of cornstarch which has
been moistened with little cold milk.
Stir and cook over hot water for eight
minutes or until the starchy taste has
been removed. Have ready six table
spoonfuls of shaved maple sugar that
mas been mixed with one lightly beaten
egg. Add this gradually to the hot
milk and stir until the sugar is dis
solved, but do not boil Remove from
the heat and turn into a pretty mold
to harden. Serve unmolded with
whipped cream, sweetened with maple
sirup and with a half-cupful of pecan
meats added.
= Banana MarmaIade.-Peel half
dozen bananas (three may be under
npe) and drop them into a cupful Of
boiling water Add the Juice of two
lemons and cook until thick, stirring
to prevent burning; this takes ten
minutes. Then measure the fruit
pulp thus made and add half as much
sugar by measure as there is of the
pulp. Then cook until of the desired
thickness. Less sugar may be used If
thinner jelly is wanted. Pour into
glasses and cover as usual. This
makes about three cupfuls of MARINA
lade, or four small tumblers.
Add a cupful of cold cooked rice to-
the griddle cake batter; they will be,
more substantial and it is a good way
to use up leftover rice. Even if it is
sweetened 1t is not Objectionable.
Barley and Peanut SaIad.-Cook the
grains of barley after soaking over
night, using one-third of a cupful, add
quarter of cupful of chopped pea
nuts, one sweet red pepper, chopped,
TWO large apples and stalk of celery.
Cut the apple and vegetables into mar
row strips, mix with boiled dressing
and serve on heart leaves of lettuce.
Put raisins, dates or figs into rice
pudding, thus saving on the sugar.
Eat more fruits and fresh vegetables.

PLATINUM 11FAkE' IN OREGON
Geological Survey EApiodes 6sport Ct
Find Of Precious k;-3a-is in
Western Uia,f,..

The present shortage of platinum
and the consequent greatly increased
price of the metal bid fair to result
in a considerable increase in the do
nestle production Of platinum during
the coming year, according to the Unit
ed States geological survey. At the
same time, while legitimate miners are
increasing their production and to some
extent relieving the country's shortage.
other persons are using the interest
aroused by the present nationwide
search for the metal to make extrava-
CANT claims for utterly worthless de-
pOsits, and some honest prospectors
are led by false assays, made by in
efficient or venal aSsayerS. to believe
mistakenly that they have valuable
platinum deposits. Reports Of plati-
mum in some mythical! continuation

num'-should be regarded as sufficient
evidence Of the incompetence or dis
honesty Of the assayer.
During the season of 1917 the geolo-
SiSIS VI lIic Oultcu OtUleS
survey, department of the interior,
spent much time in visiting platinum
deposits that proved to be worthless.
a notable example is seen in the sup
posed platiniferous sands of the Des-
chutes river, near TerrebCne. O:.e.
The material collected there con-
sists of loosely cemented DIRK volcanic
sand and cungfumerate interbedded
with basalt and volcanic tulf. The
black basaltic sand is supposed to have
the richest content of gold and p!ati-
mum, bat neither in panning the ,ua-
terial in the field nor in the chemical
tests made by the geological survey
could any trace of platinum or other
metals of the platinum group be found.
Neither was any gold found in the con-
centrates, and it is concluded that ma
terial Of this type is very unlikely to
contain workable amounts of gold.

MONEY LOANED FOR THE WAR
Dollars Invested in Bonds Expend-
ed for Food, Clothing, Ammuni-
ton and Other Necessaries.

What becomes of the dollar which
is invested in government bonds?
Here is the course it takes as visual
lied by Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo in his annual report to congress:
First. it goes to the government as
a loan for the war.
Second. it is expended by the gov
ernment fer food. clothing and am
munition, which go directly to a gal
liant soldier or sailor whose fighting
strength is kept up by the food. whose
body is kept warm by the clothing, and
whose enemy is hit by the ammuni-
ton.
1t has not been expended in the
purchase Of needless food and cloth
ing for the man at home, and is, there
fore. released for the use Of the sol
der, it is saved wealth to the man
at home and can be loaned to his gov
eminent at interest with resulting
benefit to himself and to his govern
ment.

Utilized Artificial Flood.

Ey means of an artificial rise, start
ed on October IS, 1917, at Dam No. Z,
Ohio river, and augmented by water
from the Muskingum, Kanawha and
Biz Sandy rivers. more than $4,000 tons
of coal from the Kanawha river were
delivered to Cincinnati and other river
cities, says a bulletin Of the depart
mcut of commerce. Every available
tuabnat and barge was used in this
movement, even the small harbOr boat
of one of the coal companies being
utilized to bring down four coal boats,
and q snowboat pusher was chartered
to bring down ten barges. Fourteen
tows of more than 200 craft were in
the movement. Last August, during a
period of extremely low water. a fleet
of barces, which carried 1900 tons
Of coal, was successfully moved by
means of artificial floods. About a

carried out successfully at time when
