Two Brave Marines.

On the first day Of February, 1918,
there was an explosion in a seaplane
hangar on an aviation field near WASH
ington. The explosion started a fire
which set ablaze the clothing Of a
chief petty officer of the navy. The
death of the petty officer and the de-
struction of the costly hangar were i'm
minent. Privates William r. Lawton
and Raymond ]. Burnap. United States
marines from the Washington navy
yard, were on duty nearby. Aiming
themselves with fire e~xtinguishers,
they dashed to the rescue. The life Of
the petty officer was saved and the de-
struction Of the hangar prevented. Sec
rotary Daniels wrote a personal letter
to each Of the marines, commenting
him for his GOODNESS and presence Of
mind in the face of sudden danger.

take one with only one or two finger

in the orpingtohs, may best be culled
by eliminating the early moulters.

COnnNn Starts DepOSit

The First National Bank, of Miller,
S. d., a United States depository, has
worked put a plan in which it accepts
Liberty Bonds for safe keeping,
whether brought in by a customer, or
a stranger, provided a savings ac-
count of $1.00 or more is opened.
The system is an integral part of
the savings department, in that the
bond deposited is credited in the back
of the pass book. When coupons are
due the bank will credit them to the
depositor's account. An account may
be opened by tearing off a coupon of
the bond. whether due or not and de-
posting it with the bank. In that
case the coupon is credited as cash
and the bond noted in the back of the
passbook. Inese bonds will be in

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL FIBER
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
Piles Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port OF War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Alllea.

When figures began to show def.
initely that the people Of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that 1t was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities, but that II
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that II would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands Upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
lions will be able TO go farther afeid
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption II the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased. IL the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
Il can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is In itself proof that
the ration Of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period Of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
The records of the Food Admins
tration show hat in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995, 1000 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving of
over 10000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
the KITCHEN anu III thc ShriouS inuuF-
tries, and show conclusively that In
the homes and public eating places Of
America, where 20 per cent. of all u
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by o than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,OO0
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
her fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof hat the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port Of the war.
