THE RESPONSIBILITY
 OF EACH AMERICAN

The world stands breathless to- day watching the greatest race in all human history, the race between the United States and Germany, Germany trying to close up the war before America can get into it, and America trying to get in be- fore it is too late. Those dreadful words "too late'' we have heard al together too often in this war, but they must never apply to the food supply of our Allies.
 Before each American stands the personal responsibility of doing his part three times a day to see that We meet the imperative food needs of the armies and peoples abroad Food is the weapon with which America can maintain position il the war long enough finally to vii it. Food is not saved to save mon ey, but toe save the lives that vii win the war. We are not spend ing money today to get that Lib erty, Freedom and Justice we de mand. We are spending the pre- cious blood of men and boys-th' best that we have-by the hun dreds-and by the thousands.
 God may forgive the man wh' makes money out of this war, bu the American people and the soldier who returns from France neye will.-(Ray Lyman Wilbur.)

Ways With Fresh Fruits.

With the e~yer-bearing strawberry
becoming so well known and common
We do not need to limit ourselves to a
few short weeks of the delicious berry,
as 1t ripens until frost time. Fresh
solid berries, crushed and mixed with
their bulk in sugar, may be put in
sterile cans and kept in a cool place
without any further care, as they will
keep well until spring, or as long as
one wishes to keep them.
The wild raspberry is delicious
canned in the old-fashioned way. Pack
the fruit into jars and fill with boiling
hot strip, then set them in the oven
until the juice boils; seal at once, and
the fruit will keep good iH .olor and
excellent in flavor. FrC-l raspber-
ries may be crushed and mixed with
sugar in the same way the strawber-
ries are canned, or currants any small
fruit that is thoroughly crushed will
keep perfectly.
Fruit juices of any kind, accented
with a touch of lemon juice, sweetened
to taste, and rich milk or thin cream
added, make most appetizing frozen
dishes.

Khaki" Means Mud, or Muddy,
and Said to Be a Hindu Word

The British soldiers in India used to
wear white uniforms. 1t was a lot of
trouble to keep clean, and the
snipers were always picking off men
who exposed themselves. One day a
company of soldiers who proposed to
sneak up on a nest of Hindus who were
picking them off, went down to the
muddy banks of a stream and daubed
their white uniforms with the yellow
midland marched away. From that
day to this, the mud-colored uni
form has been popular with the Brit
ish in midland it isn't necessary to
state that it is popular with the sol.
diers of the United States. "Khaki"
e mud, or muddy, and is a Hindu
word. But 1t is going to mean some
thing more in the days to come. 1t
is going to exactly what the blue
used to mean-victory. 1t is going to
stand for courage, and patriotism, and
sacrifice, and no greater tribute can
be paid to men in the future than
to say they wore the khaki.-Colum-
bus Dispatch.

Potato Pens Prove Dismal
Failure-Did Not Produce
Their Seed, Christie Says

Last year people all over the country
were building potato "pens." Some
body, somewhere, it was said, had
raised enough potatoes to last an Or
binary family a whole year in an open
work box eight feet square. The box
was filled with soil and seed potatoes
in the spring. and that was all there
was to it. The vines grew out through
the cracks all around, and the bin
was full of good tubers in the fall. Fine
business 1t was.
The only trouble with this grand
scheme was that it didn't work. Pro-
fessor Christie Of Purdue university
says that in Indiana most of these sky
scraper potato gardeners didn't get
back their seed. OF 40 pens tried in
Indianapolis, according to City Garden
Supervisor Osborne, not n succeeded.
Experiments by the United States
department of agriculture were equally
disappointing. In a potato pen at
Washington 20 pounds of seed were
planted and eight pounds of potatoes
were harvested. The barrel" plan
was just as bad. The crop from two
barrels weighed less than two pounds.
1t doesn't pay to be a mossback, of
course, but it does pay to stick to ap-
proved methods Of farming.-Farm

TEACH US


Father in heaven, VINO lowest all,
o help thy children men they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefled heritage.
Teach us to bear tie yoke in youth
With -steadfastness and careful truth;
That, In our time, thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
Teach US to rule ourselves always,
Controlled and clearly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No MANNED or worthless sacrifice.
Teach US to look in all our ends,
On thee for judge, and not our friends;
That we, with thee, may walk uncowed
By fear or favor of the crowd.
Teach us the strength that cannot seek
BY deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under thee, we may possess
Mans strength to succor mans distress.
Teach us to delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done
And love to all men meath the sum-.

wholesalers to restrict the return of
merchandise.
Marked changes are prescribed for
mems clothing. Sack coats will be
shorter, with a minimum of 80 inches
for SO sizes and ~ inches added for
'1ongs." Double-breasted overcoats

inches for SO sizes and two inches to

made with wool cloth.
Not more than ten models Of sack
suits are to be put out.
The maximum length of rain coats
is fixed at 48 inches, while the maxi
mum width of collars will be 3R
inches. All double coats with detach-
able Innings for civilian use are to be
eliminated.

To Distinguish Iron From Steel.

The repairer of machinery often
has to select pieces of metal from the
scrap heap to make repairs on vari-

following methods, wrought iron,
cast iron and mild steel are easily
distinguished from one another. File

a drop of nitric acid on the metal
and leave it for a few minutes. The
