MUST SPEAK ENGLISH
IN PUBLIC PLACES

The Nye County Council of De-
fense has adopted a resolution de-
creeing that all places of entertain
ment shall be closed at midnight
during the war. This action was due
to the fact that one of the dance
halls in the lower end of the city
was not engaged in selling liquors
and therefore was not covered by
the ordinance closing saloons. The
county commissioners will amend
the original ordinance to apply to all
places OF entertainment
Another resolution was ordering
the posting Of placards announcing
that "The use of any language other
than English in pubic places will be
deemed evidence of disolyalty" and
punished accordingly.
In discussing the expediency Of
adopting this resolution the council
referred to Pete Beko, who assured
the members that every slavonian
knows enough English to comply
with the. rule when conversing in
saloons. This r,ile does not apply tc
mines.

The liberal use of meat in the diet

The shortage of fat is due less to
actual decrease in supply. than to the
fact that it is very necessary in the

been devoted to other war uses. We

accustomed to use; hence rigid
economy in the use of fat may be
carried out with no harm and very
little discomfort. The conservation
OF fat is still left to the individual con-
science-let US keep the faith.

A Word of Warning

The wave of relief that has gon,
over the country as the wheat sit
uation is improved, >may bring bat
consequences, il we are not careful
It is such blessed feeling to gel
pack to something like normal cook,
ing that we do not realize the pen
dulum may swing too far. Part OF
the reason why we had to adopt such
strict conservation measures during
the summer was that we had not
saved food when that saving was
voluntary. Shall we repeat the sit
uation?
The Worlds Wheat.
The worlds shortage of wheat is
no tancitul idea. When you stop to
think that one-third of Frances
wheat fields are barren and that even
the part under cultivation gives far
less than normal yield. due to lack of
fertilizer and labor; it is easy to
see why France raised in 1917 only
90 per cent of the wheat she needed
England with her best efforts can
raise only one-fourth of the wheat
required; and Belgium relies upon
the United States for three-fourths
OF her wheat needs.
In the face of these facts, how dare
we use as much as we can possibly
buy? We have become accustomed
to the $3.50 rule. in part at least;
surely it will be no hardship to con-
tinue using the substitutes wherever
the extra cost need not be seriously
considered. To the women who went
on voluntary wheatless ration for
the summer, the $3.50 basis seems al
most like cooking before the war"
We have all found that rs per cent of
substitute is no hardship at all; yet
even that is doing more than the
law demands at the present time.
The Worlds Sugar.
The sugar shortage is also Just as
permanent as the wheat shortage. We
depend upon both beet sugar and cane
sugar in normal times. Most of the
beet sugar was produced upon the
