DoNT's FOR WIVES.

The leader of Rockefeller's church
at Cleveland, Ohio, recently took
the above heading as his text, and
he asked his hearers to put the fol-
lowing ten don'ts in their wives
mirrors:
l. Don't mrary a man for a living
but for love. Manhood without
money is better than money with
out manhood.
: 2. Don't overdress nor underdress;
common sense is sometimes better
than style.
8. A wife with hobble skirt and
a husband with patched trousers
make a poor pair. A woman can
throw more out of window with a
spoon than man can put into the
cellar with shovel
How Not to Run House.
A. Don't think that the way to
run house is to. run away from it..
It is wrong to go about lecturing
other women on how to bring up
children, while you are neglecting
your own.
5. Don't tell your troubles to your
neighbors. They have enough of
their own. Fight it out with your
self if it takes all summer.
6. Don't nag. The saloonkeeper is
always glad to welcome your hus-
band with a smile
z. Don't try to get more out of a
locking glass than you put into it.
Nature's sunshine is better for a
woman's beauty than mans powders
ard paints.

Special Commissioner Herb. NJ.
Norris will sell the plant, rights
and franchises of the Ironwood Gas
Co. at foreclosure sale on May
%. An order to sell the tangible
and intangible property of the Gas
Co. has been made by the circuit
court of Gogebic county on petition
of the Union Trust Co. of Detroit,
trustee for the first mortgage bond
holders.
The concern has been III the
hands of the Union Trust Co. as
trustee for more than one year.
The petition of the trustee shows
that it has made advances of Sl2,-
900 to meet overdue obligations,
attorneys fees and expenses con-
nected with the receivership.
The plant is bonded for S202,-
900. First mortgage bonds total
S22, 900, and there is all issue of
$3.50, 900 of second mortgage bonds.
The holders of the Junior bonds are
likely to lose every dollar they
have put into them, as no one be-
lieves that the property and rights
of the company will bring an
amount at the sale sufficient to
meet the trustees advances and the
claim of the holders of the first
mortgage bonds. The total of these
two items is S34 900.
The plant has been examined by
number of experts for Wisconsin
and Michigan investors in recent
months, but it is not probable, I'M
der existing industrial conditions,
that there will be spirited bidding
for the property. -Ironwood News

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES



The "Spyke" is about ready TO go to
press row an1 the various editors and
department managers are turning in their
work to the editor-in-chief. 1t is expect
ed that the book will be assembled in
order by the end of the week. The bids
for the printing of the "Spyke" are ex
pected to DO sent in during the week. 1t
is hoped that large number will respond
with reasonable bids.
All subscriptions for the "Spyke" must
be in by Friday noon, as that is positively
the last day. Don't miss your last
chance, for here it is. There have not
been enough purchased and the editors
are somewhat disappointed in this mat
ter During the week, they have made
made one last, desperate effort without
much avail. The number of books pur-
chased so tar is in the neighborhood of
300. At 75c apiece, you can plainly see
that the amount paid thus far for books
would not go far in the paying of ex
penses. The editors of the "Spyke" are
extending their utmost efforts towards
putting forth good book. So we people
of Hurley!, once more and for the last
time, you are asked to get behind the
high school and buy SPIKES"
A meeting of the "Spyke" board was
held at John Sullivan's home on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
A much enjoyed program was given by
the Lincoln Literary Society last ev-
ening. All the numbers were good and
the best part of it was that everybody
responded with what they were asked.
Miss Mabel Leavitt and Miss Agnes
Peterson of Ironwood, were visitors at
the high school on Monday.
On Friday evening the Girls Glee Club
will give dance in the gym. 1t is COM
ing with good deal of heralding, it
having been first talked of sometime
last September. 1t is for members and
invited friends only. Dancing will be
INDUCED in from 7:30 to IL, and three
piece orchestra will furnish the music.
On Monday a grass fire back of the
high school gained such Roadway as to
necessitate the calling for aid from the
fire department. The fire was soon ex-
tinguished,
Four-minute speakers during the week
were as follows: Elizabeth Schmagner,
Edmund Graiewski, Esther Moselli and
Ollie Westeen. A violin solo was also
rendered by Louis Rein before school last
Monday morning.

CHILDREN FIRST,

Reports from various parts Of the
a patriotic effort to cooperate with
the food administration in the con-
seryation Of food, are not providing
enough nourishment for their chill
dren, and as a result the little ones
are actually suffering and their health
and physical development are endan-
gered. The trouble seems to be due
to a misapprehensiOn of the suggestions
put forward by the food administra-
ton, says Washington Post. Mothers,
instead of exercising discrimination as
to the kind Of food to give the chill
dren, are In reality reducing the
amount of nourishing food below the
danger line. 1t Is not remarkable that
anyone should be confused by the
many and, apparently, conflicting bull
letlns issued by the food administra-
tlon in behalf Of food conservation.
They are enough to battle the wits OF
the average person. But, of course, It
is not intended that the saving OF food
should be carried to the extent of un-
dernourishing the future citizens of
the land. The aim Is to prevent waste
and to promote more general use of
the things of which there Is a plenty
In order to conserve the supply of those
things of which there is a shortage.

MISS CARMEN AUGER

Wisconsin produced potato CROP
last year of more than "a, 900, 900 bus.
This is fortunate as it is one of the
best substitutes we can find for the
bread-stutfs so sadly needed by our
army and navy.
AS war measure. the Food Ad-
minlstration declares it is necessary
for everybody to eat potatoes: list, to
diminish the amount of bread eaten;
2nd, to furnish encouragement for a
larger crop in 1918. They should be
purchased in fairly regular quantities
week by week so the distribution will
be fairly equal, to enable the growers
and producers to handle potatoes at
more reasonable prices and to re-
lieye railroad congestion.
There are many varieties of his
vegetable. Tastes differ as to the
most desirable kinds. The white po-
tato (most favored in Ameriea) when
light and dry, is of delicate flavor and
thought to be easy of digestion. 1t is
especially suited for boiling, steam
ing and baking. and for soups. The
yellow potatoes are more suitable for
preparations in which it is desirable
that the whole or pieces of potatoes
shall retain their shape when cooked.
In general the yellow potato has a
richer hayor than the white.
The raw white potato contains 2% pro-
TENS, lS% starch, l%mineral matter, 7
per cent water.
The main food values of the potato is
in its starch and mineral matter. In both
of these it gives better balance with the
protein of meat, fish and egg products.
With milk it is almost a balanced ration.
In comparing the value of the potato witt
wheat bread. one 3 OF potato is equal TO
two slices of wheat bread, or one bushel
of p otatoes is equal to 81 one pound
