Need of Storing Ahead.

(Wall Street Journal)
 It would be an act of supreme fol- ly to provision our Allies forces and the civil populations in a hand-to- mouth manner. That is not the way that ammunition goes to the army It is not the way we would, if we could, provide for winters fuel. It is not what was in MT. Schwalo' $ mind when he announced that he should work for a six months sup ply of steel for shppin2.
 There must be such a reserve SUD- ply of food stored up across the At lantic that no possible disarra.nge- ment of transportation from any cause can reduce our fighting ef1i- ciency. Caution would cali fer a req sonable reserve stored up in the coun- try as an insurance against Dossi hlo trouble in the future. Neutral na- tions also must be fed by North Am cries. Large as our harvest is likely to be. and promising a. is the Cana dian outlook. there will not be a kernel of wheat or rye to waste.
 Neither can the American people resume their pre-war diet They must ccononlize in the use of wheat as much as they should econornize in every form of expenditure to the end that the war may be carried on to final victory.

General Wood.
Atlanta Constitution

1 N
 keenly disappointed at being de-
 nied the privilege of accom- panying his division to the scenes of battle.
 Major General Leonard Wood. in true l soldierly spirit. accepts without a 1 murmur the order that sends him back to the interior to prepare an- l other division for service in France. In keeping General Wood at Camp i Funston instead of sending him to ] France the commander-in-ci chief Is no l doubt, controlled by some good, inn 1 polling reason, which, if understood ] | by the public, might or might not be approved.
 But that is neither here nor there. Tn war "orders are Orders' and must 1 be obeyed without stopping to discuss whether or not they are wise. But it can be said of General Wood that he holds the esteem of the whole country, and that whatever he does, or wherever he goes, he will measure up to the full standard of a. l great soldier.
 As commander of the Southeasterr. Division immediately after this coun- try went to war, General Wood made remarkable record in organizing the cantonmen ents and camps of this division and in starting them off on a. basis of military precision and eff ciency. No other divisional command CT Tn the whole military department of the Government made a better record,
 Transferred to Camp Funston in command of 8 division, it was natural that General Wood should be keenly anxious to accompany his troops 1,ix +@
 But there was other use for him, and so he bade his soldiers farewell at the coast.
 His loyalty to his country and the depth of his devotion to his profes- sion glow in his brief sta tement to his troops when leaving them-they, to go to France, he. back to Kansas-
 ''The orders have been changed, and I am to go back to Funston. l leave for there tomorrow morning"
 And he went to say:
 T wish you the best of luck and ask you to keep up the high standard of conduct and work you have in the past. There Is not anything to be said The orders stand and the only thing to do is to do the best we can all Of us--to win the war. That's what we are here for: that's what you have been trained for. 1 shall follow your career with the deepest interest as though l were with you. Good luck and God bless you.'
 This pathetic farewell of the com lnnnder to the men whom lie had trained leaves a touch Of sadness that will find universal echo; and while the whole country will back any or der that ernAnates from the com~ 111ander- in chief. and feel satisfied that it is based on good reason, 1t will in this instance regret that whatever that reason was, 1t was considered good enough to separate Wood from his men, and to keep him from the hattlefelds of Europe, where clvlllza- ton is at war for Liberty

HOME OF CEREALS UNKNOWN
History Has No Record Of Where Most
important Human Food Had
Its Origin.

The origin Of wheat IS lost I'm hoary
antiquity. Even the original homN Of
the cereal plants Of which bread Is
being made Is not known, all the re-
searches and hypothesis notwithstand-
ing. Where wheat, spelt, rye, barley,
oats. buckwheat. etc, first offered nan
their grainy ears for good Is an UNI
solved problem. But that originally
bread was not roasted or baked, but
eaten as dough or paste. may be in
ferred from its relation with the word
"broth,'' both Of these words being
derived from the root 'breowan,"
'bru," to brew. In all probability it
was originally the boiled coarse meal
with nothing added to It but salt. The
I~eavening and baking Of the bread was
a later development. The origin of
these processes is a matter of specula-
tion but 50 much Is certain that bak-
ing preceded the l%eavening of the bread
that causes it to rise; also that the
original form Of the bread was not
the loaf, but a kind of thin, fiat cake
like the matzoths, or unleavened
bread of the Jews, or the tortillas OF
the Mexicans. Like these. It was prob
ably roasted upon intensely heated fat
stones.
With the discovery of the leaven the
fiat cake Increased in height until it
assumed the form Of our loaf.

WOODEN SHIPS
Method Used to Lengthen Life OF
Vessels.
Turns Seepage Into Brine, Which Acts
as a P~reservatiVe of the
Wood.

Seattle, Wash.-C. o. Morrow, pres
ident of the Ellio.tray Shipbuilding
company, suffered something of a
shock the other morning, but at that 1t
was nothing to the shock suffered by
several prominent citizens who were
taking a stroll through the companys
big wooden shipbuilding plant.
The citizens were shocked when they
discovered that 20 tons of rock salt IS
used in building each of the big wood
en- ships now under construction in
Seattle. Mr.. Morrow was shocked be-
cause his callers didn't know that rock
salt Is a shipbuilding material. Every
body on the water front knows that
but it seems that there are a lot or
prominent business men who didnt.
There is now a suspicion that only a
very few residents east of Railroad
avenue know that a wooden ship has
to be sailed.
In showing the prominent citizens
about his plant Mr.. Morrow came to
the building in which he stores this
rock salt. A railroad car was unload
ing another shipment.
"Thls is where we keep the salt for
the ships" said Morrow.
"Haw, haw !" said one caller, who is
something of a humorist. Il suppose
you're afraid the ships viii get too
fresh?'
That's the exact TRUTH" said Mr.,
Morrow.
But the citizens wouldn't believe him
until they had examined the salt. Some
of them tasted it. The -storehouses
contained 100 tons.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the salt
Is poured between the frames of a
wooden shin above the water line and
is tamped down so4I-. Then If any Wa
ter seeps into the spaces between the
frames it is turned to brine and does
not damage the wood. Instead, 1t acts
as a preseryative.

HUNTERS DISCOVER LAKE
IL Was in Their County but They
Never Heard of II.

The Salina Gun club has found a
large lake near Salina, Kan, for the
fall and spring hunting seasons, and
has leased the property for a term of
years as a private reserve.
The lake is in the southern part of
the county, and many of the old-time
hunters never knew of its existence
until this spring. The lake covers 80
acres, and when it has been improved,
including a large dam, the surface
covered with water VIII be about 40
acres. On one side of the lake there
is a sandy beach with the water run
ming from shallow to deep water and
IT may be made a bathing place.
1t is also filed with fish of several
varieties. Lumber is now being
shipped to the place for a house which
will be erected at once. The Gun club
will have the exclusive use Of the
property.

Eastern Folklore Character.

A character in folklore with whom
the Occidental world has only slightly
f%amiliarized itself is N~asr-ed-din-

Lineally the Hodja, holy man, as he is
known, draws his descent from Aesop;
but during the course of centuries his
nature became somewhat changed.
From the wise man he was transform

fool, who, in spite Of his folly. has
certain very winning traits. As a rule,
however, poor Nasr-ed-dln gets the

PLAY GAME WITH BIG GUN
Frenchmen Wager as to Hour the

Start.

Paris.-A new sport has made its
appearance in Paris as a result of
the long-range cannon bombardment.
One may drop in at any cafe or res
taurant any day and find the game in
progress.
After the dinner or between sips of
coffee a paper is passed around with
the question Sat what hour will the
big cannon fire its next shot?" Each
persons fills in the time he thinks the
s%traing will begin and pays a franc.
The firing Of the cannon causes more
excitement than fear. The waiter
rushes for the list, while the others
crowd around, shouting and gesticu-
lating to find out whose guess has
been the nearest and who gets the
money.
