manner of address was very
pleasant and the information Civ
en- as to the treatment Of con-
victs, particularly in connection
with their work upon state high
ways, while assembled in. camps,
was most instructive and inter-
esting. Mr.. lyman stated that
while all convicts have at some
time committed some crime
which landed them in prison, yet
about sixty per cent of them are
men who can be trusted to work
in tie work camps on the public
highways, and that in some in
stances even life termens are in
charge of the camp. On the 9TH
er hand there are some who can
not be trusted at all and who are
never taken outside the prison;
he also states that the percentage
of escapes from the prison is
much lower since the Inaugural
tion of the road work system
than it was prior to same. An
other fact worthy of mention is
that since the prohibition law
went into effect the population OF
the prison las been educed very
materially, perhaps one-third.
a very beautiful poem, the theme
of which was LET me live in d
house by the side OF the road and
be friend to mankind" recited
by Mr.. lyman at the close OF his
address showed that his heart IS
in the right place.
One of the greatest features OF
the entertainment was the band
music, furnished by the Lamar
Brass band and by the Fort
Lyon Marine band. We are all
acquainted with the Lamar
band and know it to be ar
exceptionally good one. but the

Westola was about such a place
as Plymouth, of which we told
you in a recent issue. 1t was
about a mile and a half over the
line in Morton county, and thus
by reason of its close proximity
is of nearly the same interest as
if it had been in the county-as
in the case of Ta.oga, before
mentioned. The Westola post

moved over on our side of the

HAVE ONLY A THIRD
OF WHEAT We NEED.
HOOVER TELLS THE PEOPLE
MUST CUT CONSUMPTION OF
WHEAT FLOUR TWO
THIRDS.
BY HERBERT HOOVER.

Recent press dispatches widely cir
culated through the country have given
the wholly false impression that there
is no longer need for rigorous conser-
walton of wheat and flour. The food
administration declares that every
aspect of the wheat situation, both
present and prospective, intensifies the
need for the greatest possible limita-
ton in the American consumption of
wheat and wheat products. If present
restrictions should be in the slightest
degree relaxed it would result in seri-
GUS want for the people of Europe be-
fore the new crop can reach the mar.
ket.
The food administrators estimate
of the position on the first of June in
dicates total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms
in country and terminal elevators and
mill elevators, Of about 56,OOO,OOO
bushels. OF this 100000 bushels
must be exported before new wheat is
available for export, If we are to main
tain the absolutely necessary shipments
to our army and the allies. That
leaves about 26,OOO.OOO bushels for do
nestle consumption for the next two
months.
The normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels a
month so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third of normal.

HOW TO USE BARLEY FLOUR
Home Economics Experts Tell How to
Get Good Results With II.

Barley flour is the best, cheapest and
most accessible substitute flour on the
market. 1t is light colored and con-
tains enough gluten to be used for
wheat -four in any kind of recipe ex-
cept, perhaps, yeast bread. The fol-
lowing precautions should, however. be
observed in it's use:
l. Barley fours are not uniform in
quality and the amount Of LIQUID to he
added varies little.
2. Barley -four absorbs more water
than wheat flour, therefore the barley
muffin or cake batter will seem little
sitter than if made with an equal
amount of wheat flour.
.. Since one cupful Of barley flour
weighs but three ounces, while one
cupful of wheat flour weighs four. the
flour should be sifted once and about
two tablespoonful more added to each
cupful Of flour called for.
4. The addition of egg is almost nee
essary to secure good muffin or bis.
cult mixture made with barley.
0. Inc flavor of barley mixtures is
Objectionable to some persons when
used alone. This may be overcome If
small amount Of cornstarch, potato
flour, corn flour, cornmeal or mashed
potatoes is substituted for part Of the
barley flour. A dash of mace or nut
meg improves shortcake coughs.
g. The better texture and more mois-
ture are obtained in barley mixtures
If one-fourth cupful of cold mashed po-
tatoes are added with every cupful Of
barley flour.
Z. Mullins, breads and cakes made
with barley and other substitute flours
should bake longer and at lower tenn
perature than those made with wheat
flour.

Make your own potato flour at

flour that is an excellent sub
stitute for wheat flour. Here is
the method:
"Use sound potatoes. Size Is
unimportant; wash thoroughly;
bake. Put through a ricer and
drop lightly in thin layer on a
shallow tray preferably per-
forated. Dry in d current of
warm air over a stove, register,
etc.. or in very cool oven, STIR
ring frequently. Let become per-
fectly dry and grind the hard
dry pellets through the fine
blade Of food chopper, coffee
mill or feed MILL The addition
Of hot water soaks the flour for
potato soups or mashed potatoes
or -four can be used in con-
nection with other flours for
baking. The excellence of the
flavor depends on the choice of
sound potatoes and the avoid
ance Of scorching or browning.
The keeping qualities depend
on complete drying"

BEANS SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT
Food Administration Urges People to
Eat All Kinds of This
Staple Food.

Now that it promises to become nee
essary to watch our meat supply with
increasing care, the possibilities of
beans in the diet are brought again to
the front.
The farmers of the country did their
duty last year and brought out larger
crop of beans than ever before. Ac-
cording to the figures of the depart
ment of agriculture, the last crop of
beans was about 15,O00,00O bushels,
an increase of 100000 bushels over
the normal crop. Considering the ex-
traordinary demand for beans by the
army and navy, this crop was not too
large, and only unusual circumstances
explain the fact that. any beans are
left over
Last year there was substantial in
crease in the colored bean crop-pinto
BEANS California pinks and soy beans
in the South and Southwest. This ac-
cession of new beans from unaccus-
toned quarters not only provided new

arrangement of the market.

for the army and navy. On account OF
their high nutritive value they enter
largely into the diet of men IN the field.
Knowing this, Americans have for
some time felt that it was the part of
patriotism to leave their white beans
! for the soldiers. But the food admin
! istration now urges the use of all
beans.
Beans are to be counted as sub
stitute for meat rather than for the
cereals They can well take the place
! of meat dish on many occasions. Ger
tainly with them In the diet there il
less need for meat.
