Hand type setting will be lost art
within a few years, as even printing
offices in the smaller towns are in
stalling machines for doing that work.
The anthony jerker will soon become
extinct like the buffalo and wild pid-
geon. Already five newspapers in this
county set type by machines, and the
report comes in that De Vos, of the
Omak Chronicle, is soon to invest in
one of these time savers. They are an
expensive luxury, and yet indispensi-
BILE, for no office once equipped with
Margenthaler, the best in use. or
some other make Of type setting ma
chine, could continue business without
one. Take for instance the amount of
type this paper is using this week.
Without machine a country office
could not set the type and do the other
work required.

1t is announced with some evidence
of authority that the next formal draft
will be called February Is. The num-
Der of men to be drafted at that time
has not been given out, but it will
hardly be less than 100000, and may
be more. What this country must have
as soon as possible, and as soon as
possible according to experience so
far in the war means several months,
or many months, trained army OF
millions. To win the present war II
will be necessary to throw in all the
man power possible, and to enlist ev-
cry resource at the command of the
government. Owing to our lack of pre-
parendess, and apparent sluggishness
in remedying that defect, the Germans
look upon American preparation and
American ability to carry on war with
the utmost contempt. Some time in the
future, how long the Lord only knows.
the slowly moving federal preparation
will reach point when it will be pos
sible for the American army to make
some kind of showing on the fighting
front, and then it is not altogether i'm
probable that American arms will
change German contempt to respect.

The most scathing indictment
against Congressman Dill is an open
letter signed by several of the leading
democrats of Republic, published in
the Spokesman-Review of Tuesday. Mr..
Dill wrote to Republic expressing a
willingness to deliver his lecture on
his trip to Europe, providing the demo-
Gratis of that place would like to hear
it. Evidently the Republic democrats
are not interested in Mr.. Dill's junket-
ing trip, for in language that admits
of no misconstruction the offer was
unexpectedly declined. Every time
Mr.. Dill opens his mouth he makes
it more apparent that his heart
Is not with his countrymen in the
war. He is doing the cause of the
United States more harm than good
He may be laboring under the halluci-
nation that the majority of the people
Of the Fifth district are disloyal, and
that he Is appealing to popular senti-
ment. If MIR. Dill is sincerely loyal he
has a very unhappy manner of ex-
pressing himself.

Peace terms offered to Russia by the
Central Powers through German nego-
tiators is not such as appeals to the
allies. as 1t does not assure lasting
peace nor the protection OF the smaller
nations. Indeed it Is such peace as
might have been suggested If dictated
from Paris or London by victorious
enemy. The history of the war amply
proves that no peace suggested by the
present rulers of Germany can be de-
pended upon. Any document signed by
the kaiser would be considered only
"a scrap of paper" to be disregarded

Guatemala City, capital of the re-
public of Guatemala, was completely
destroyed by an earthquake last week.
Many lives are lost and thousands of
people are homeless. This shocking
calamity, had it occurred in times Of
peace, would have created sensation
and aroused the sympathy of the
world. One feature of the announce
ment, showing that the activities of
the organization are nto confined to
war, is that the Red Cross upon re-
ceipt of the news of the disaster i'm
mediately started movement to ex-
tend aid to the sufferers. This is evil
dence that the relief work of this great
Christian organization is as wide
spread as the world itself. Wherever
suffering comes to humanity through
sudden catastrophe, or epidemic, or
war, there will be found the Red Cross
administering to those in need. AS an
international organization, knowing no
country, no creed, no race, the Red
Cross should receive the cheerful and
ready support of every man and wo-
man in this and every other land.

which he secured that goose is worthy
OF mentioning. Monday morning the
raucous scolding of a large flock of

attention of the population. Among
those who were attracted by the noise

Weather conditions are varigated
throughout the country. While some
sections are suffering from floods,
others enjoying spring like tempera-
lures there are still other sections
where the cold Is intense. Sunday the
coolest day on record, was experienced
in New York City and in consequence
there was intense suffering among the
poor people. The mercury registered
13 below zero and with that tempera-
ture with the humidity that prevails
on the Atlantic coast, the cold is al
most uncomfortable At Boston the cold

fenced. In the. northern part of the
statesof New York the mercury regis

out the extreme east and as far south
as New Orleans, where the cold broke
all former records.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for les. than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO. 100000 year toward the
cost of II.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at is cents, the two pound loaf
at q cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
iii France, under conditions some.
4 what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

MAKING MEATLEss
+ DAYS PERMANENT,

In the meatless menu there is fer.
tile field for developing new and nour.
ishing dishes, according to E. Fl. Niles,
writing In the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming Of peace. but may grow mare
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods. or may be
served In very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for Investigation.

need BIC HERDS
Europs's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds In order to meet Europe's ire
nendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreafed vir-
tually ali the cattle In the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain ields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.78 per 100 pounds; October, ST.. %;
November and December, $16.O8; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 600 head of
cattle in 1918, she now has only 12,-
S41, 300, a decrease Of 1873 per cent.
And France Is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-hah gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for Aeef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
| of America lies largely In the produc-
tion of meat producing animals and
| dairy products rather than In the pro-
| duction of cereals for export when
| the war will have ceased.

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical.
IL Unless the Allies fight they yet have
at their best nor hungry nations France England
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Saving-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on It is the easiest to ship We
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
do it without stinting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn Of Plenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour Of our need It has given us corn in such bounty
as never known before Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn Five hundred million mi bushels over and
above regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear!
Americas Own Food-Corn It is the true American
food The Indians, hardest Of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent. For great section of our country it
has blong the staff of life How well the South
fought on it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war;
Learn Something-Corn! It isn't food. It's
dozen. It's cereal It's vegetable. It's a bread.
It's dessert It's nutritious more food value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
Best of ALL it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn. Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn? About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are few
of its uses:

Here's an old fashioned recipe for
corn mullins that has recently been
revived and used with unusual success
in several of the larger New York ho-

mullins take one quart milk six ounces
butter substitute, twelve ounces OF
light syrup or honey, four eggs, pinch
of salt, two ounces baking powder,
one and half pounds cornmeal and
one and half pounds rye -four. The
butter and syrup should be thoroughly
mixed; then add the eggs gradually

registry OF fowls, it becomes none the
less important.
In the case of poultry raisers, how
over. the aim OF the record is not so
much to establish pedigree-ancestry-
as to keep n guido for future matings.
For instance, poultryman concludes
males will produce certain desired
characteristics. and he mates them ac-
cordingly. How is this poultryman to
know whether his plans mature, unless
the stock is marked in some way? One
cannot carry such details in ones mem
org.
a complete record necessitates leg
handing the mature stock Then, with
the aid of the trapncst the number of
each hen can be transferred to the egg:
the number on the legband is marked
or the shell Of the egg. When the
eggs are selected for incubation and
subsequently tested for fertility, the
numbers serve to identify them. The
same means OF Identification are en-
rloyed at Matching time. The eggs re-
ceive ordinary treatment in the incu.
bator up to the eighteenth day, or
when the eggs are turned for the last
time Then, by means Of pedigree
trays or mosquito netting sacks, which
keep each egg separate, each chick
hatched is confined with its empty
she'll until the numbers on the shells
are designated on legbands placed on
the chicks.
When the chick is five or six weeks
old and has outgrown the size of the
