The Tress is in receipt of Gov.
Norbeck's proclamation designat-
ing, Saturday, Sept. 2S, as LIB
erty Loan Subscription Day." and
making said day legal holiday.
We quote the following paragraph
from the proclamation:
Our quotas have been great
our patriotism is greater. Our
boys over there are doing their
part; we must also do ours. In
spiring reports from the batole
front are being received, but these
must not cause those who remain
at home to diminish their efforts
in even slightest measure; rather,
they should prove a powerful in
centive and lead MS on to increased
endeavor. Our soldiers are not
shirking their duty; neither do
they attempt to shift their respon-
sibility; nor among them is there
selfishness or weakening:-thc re-
suit in this state of the last Liber-
ty Loan proves that there will be
none here"

SWAT THE POLITICIAN

about what they called lone man
power" in these United States of
America.
And you can still hear such peo-
pile kick ominously and vigor
ously! !.
And. secondly, we have noticed
that many of said class of people
complacently fold their arms.
throw back their heads, and reiter-
ate-"O you cant do anything
about it !"
Lo! and behold Your Politician.
Those who have studied the leg
islative and judicial systems of this
country are becoming satisfied that
we are getting one of the most ex-
pensive forms of government on
earth, the difference between con-
ducting our elections on 'the par
amount issue" and that of the pei
sonality of the candidates.
Our statute books are loaded
down with laws that are incom-
plete. cumbersome and otherwise
imperfect.
Manifestly we can get along
With fewer laws if those we do
have were scientific and perfect.
AS, for instance, The Press be-
lieves the time has come when our
various State governments and leg
iislatures should be elected for four
to six-year terms, including all
ether county and state officials.
The foregoing are some of the
main reasons why The Press still
endorses R. y. Richards primary
1 election law, which is to be sub
mited again to vote at the elec-
ton in November. Following is a
comparison of the old and the new
way Of running our primary elec-
tions:
GA So. Dakota legislature elect
ed by 81 per cent of the people of
the state may enact laws by major
ity vote. Which means that the
REPRESENTATIVES of 26 prct of the
people may make the laws against
74prct of the people, and repeal
laws enacted by direct vote OF
!; the people.
s'If the three tickets at the fall
election this year poll about ar
equal vote, 35 prct may elect the
Governor and the legislature
which means that the representa-
tives of 1S prct of the people may
enact laws and invoke police
powers, and without discussion O
issues.
Our present party primar.
election law requires no orderl,
representative proposals and dis
cussion of issues as legal weed
ing process and restraint on whe
shall go into the party platform b.
the consent of a majority of tn
party members. Nor does it re
quire discussion of issues between
the party platforms to create an
organize an intelligent publi
opinion, by majority rule, at tn
general election.
''That these safeguards ar
y needed in the party election svs
tenn, should be plain to all thinkin
people. When the war is over
political storms are certain t
occur. Let us prepare in time.

Sugar in Soft Drinks

Methods of reducing the con-
sumption of sugar in soft drinks
have been worked out by the Bur-
eau of Chemistry, United States
Department of Agriculture, which
is now cooperating with producers
throughout the United States. The
bureau has prepared directions for
making soft drinks which include
formulas that utilize substitute
sweet materials such as corn sirup
(ordinary glucose), corn sugar,
maltese sirup, honey, and high
grade refners' sirup. By following
these directions, which are being
distributed among bottlers the ac-
tural sugar content in soft drinks
can be cut to so per cent or less.
A saving of approximately $4,000
tons of sugar annually, is thus pos
sible, it is estimated, and at the
same time the customary taste and
quality of the beverage can be pre-.
served. 1t is estimated that there
are 10000 producers of soft
drinks in the United States. EN-.
ploying 1000, 900 workers, and hav.
ing a total capitalization of $3.50,
100000.

SAVE BUTTER FAT IN WHEY
Is Worth $500 to $1,000 a Ton Expert
Declares.

In an unusually interesting letter
20 the L. S. Food Administration, II.
G. Larson. Il Wisconsin dairyman and
swine breeder. points out the desir-
ability of recovering the butterfat re-
naming in whey after cheese has been
manufactured.
The amount is about one-half of one
per cent. equivalent to five pounds of
butterfat in 1000 pounds of whey.
"Butterfat is worth from $500 to $1,000
a ton" Mr.. Larson declares, "and to
permit it to he left in the whey and
fed TO hogs or other farm animals is
extravaganza in the extreme when il
can he recovered so easily by the sep
aratOn of the whey and manufactured
into Il first-claSs article of food. Not
to do so IN these times is certainly
wasteful and unpatriOtic. Whey is be-
ing separated at Il number of cheese
factories in the state and our own fac.

The butterfat recovered, according
TO Mr.. Larson, has a value about
double the cost of reclaiming it which

Wagon Box Lining to Save Wheat.

In support of the nationwide effort
to prevent waste of food, Frank Svo-
boda, Bohemian farmer living in
Oklahoma, urges cloth or canvas lin
ings for wagon boxes during 'threshing
and grain handling seasons. "From
twenty-five to fifty bushels of wheat
could be saved daily on the average
farm at the time of threshing," Mr..
Svoboda believes. "if such lining were
used in the bottom of every wagon
to keep grain from sitting through the
openings. Few farm wagons used for
hauling bundles are grain tight Can
vas cloth should also he used at the
threshing machine where the bundles
are unloaded. Especially when the
season is dry and kernels of wheat
drop from the stalk upon mere touch
ing, large quantities of grain are los,
in hauling wheat from the field to the
machine during threshing onerations
This suggestion reached Washing

GOOD SUMMER EGGS
Gambling Suggestions Eliminate Bad
Ones When Put in Force.

If the good results of the Food Adj
ministration'S egg candling suggestions
keep up to the present standard baG
eggs are going to be as scarce as
hens teeth in a good many sections
this summer.
This is Il surprising change from
what we have been accustomed to eX-
pect during the hot summer months.
In the past five years, from June l
10 October /, about 20 per cent of all
eggs marketed We're a total loss and
40 per cent materially reduced in
food value.
Since June /, 1918, when the observ-
ance of the Gambling safeguard began
there have been many comments re-
garding the small losses. One com
pany in Tennessee says the quality of
eggs the first ten days in June showed
a marked improvement and they ex-
pected that another ten days would
eliminate losses from spoilage. Be
fore June | there was a loss of twen-
ty-one eggs to the case. Early in June
the loss had been reduced TO four to
the case.
The Gambling card in case of eggs
is a good indication of the absence of
bad ones.
The Tennessee Poultry and Egg
Dealers Association at recent meet
| ing resolved, that we extend our
hearty thanks to the United States
| Food Administration for the broad
| and patriotic manner in which they
have formulated and executed rules
| and orders affecting our industry, and
we pledge our hearty support and
earnest cooperation to the Food Ad
| ministration.'
The more general Gambling of eggs
! has not only relieved the dealer of &
burden. but it has resulted in giving
the farmer who sells good eggs the
| benefit of his care and foresight. Nc
longer will egg producers suffer loss
on account of the bad eggs marketed
by few. The loss will go where i
belongs. The careful producer will
get more and the consumer will pa,
| less.

HOME PAPER TO

More home newspapers, is the
constant appeal from the American
soldiers in the camps and hospitals

can Red Cross report made public
in London.
The American Red Cross library
committee in London is now fur
nishing reading matter for 25,O0O
men weekly, the report states, but
the supply consists largely of
books. The supply of home news
papers is not equal to one-tenth of
the demand for them.
Regarding books, says the re-
port, "the men ask principally for
fiction, and light fiction at that, but
the American magazines and news
papers give far greater satisfac-
tion than do books"

Real Home Papers Needed

In speaking of his own expert
ences away from home, Mr.. Thomp-
son tells of the big part played by
genuine home papers, not big city
dailies but the smaller daily and
weekly papers containing personal
news in which people away from
their homes are most interested.
while in Russia last summer and
fall | had a great longing all the
time for the newspapers that / was
in the habit of reading" he says.
Il could always get the big news.
There was no trouble about that,
but nothing of the intimate, per-
sonal intelligence of my neighbors
and friends, and | know from this
experience that our men will feel
cheered and gratified to get their
hom paper which is a record of
everyday life in their cities and
villages. 1t seems to me that this
is the most simple and direct way
of bringing about that intimate
touch between our men who have
offered their lives for their country
and the communities from which
they come"
Mr.. Thompson has undertaken to
send home papers to every man
from Westchester county, where he
makes his home, and has already
subscribed for more than $500
papers, some daily and some week
ly. He expects that when all tht
men from that county are informed
of his offer the number of sub
scriptions will grow to 10000.
