To Stop Loss $50, 600, 900
Eggs.

Over 150,00O.0o0 eggs will be lost
to- the food supply of the United States
il the old practice of sending hens to
market at this season is continued
Figures compiled by the poultry spe-
cialists Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture show that 5000, 900
laying hens. each capable of produc-
ing 30~eggs, are sent to market from
the southern states in the winter and
early spring.
Every effort, therefore, Is being
made to encourage farmers to keep
their hens until after the spring laying
season, thereby getting q dividend for
keeping the hen through the winter.
The specialists point out that when a
hen Is sold for meat early in the
spring the farmer gets no egg return
for feeding and keeping her through
the worst months Of the year.
Moreover, the hon Is marketable as
poultry after she was produced her
spring eggs. Poultry In May may
bring two cents a pound less than It
does In February. but. they point out,
the 30 eggs produced by the hen, large
ly from waste, more than Offset any
reduction In the price offered for live
poultry.
An energetic egg-s4vings campaign
to prevent early slaughter OF the hen
that lays the golden egg" is now be-
ing conducted throughout the southern
states. North Of the Ohio river farm
ers have long appreciated the advant-
age OF getting the spring crop OF eggs
and marketing their hens after the
laying season Or In the fall. They be-
lieye that adoption Of this plan BY
southern chicken raisers will be prod
htable and will materially add to the
food supply Of the nation,

One thing the women of Germany
and England are agreed on: Judging
by the reports of the reception of or
ders for standardized blouses in Ber-
lin and standardized shoes in Lon-
don, governmental control of wearing
apparel is equally unpopular every
where. There will be obedience-but
no enthusiasm.

 The constitution provides for various committee to take the detail work, and the one on Reading for Our Soldiers, which is mentioned elsewhere in this issue, is the first one to bo appointed.
 About one hundred and thirty people, including some ffteen or twenty women. paid in their annual one dollar and became sure-enough active mem- bers. Among those who attended from Idtarod were C. P. Wood, w. H. Soli- bakke, R. c. Button, Chas. K. Taylor, William Ansley 2d, and Major AL brecht.
 Owing to Dr. Reed having been suddenly called to Dikeman this report of the meeting is not from the official minutes, and some omissions may have occurred.

The Call to Action which ap- peared in the Pioneer of two weeks ago brought out large crowd at Flat on Friday night, the 18th, between one hundred and fifty and two hundred people assembling at the Moose hall in answer.
 Major..Albrecht, who issued the call, opened the meeting and very briefly explained it's object, and suggested q temporary organization, which was e'- fected by leaving him in the chair and making Dr. Reed secretary.
 At the motion of Mir. Taylor the pre- amble to proposed constitution was read and those who wished to proceed in the organization.were asked to sign the following:
 Whereas, the United States is now engaged in & war with the allied con- tral powers of Europe, and in order that this war may be: carried on suc- cessfully and triumphantly for the cause of human liberty, and with the utmost economy of life and property, it becomes the duty of every American, and of every person loyal to the United States, to do whatever the Government of the United States may wish done, and, 50 far..as:that may be possible to anticipate all needs.
 "To this end we, the undersigned, do hereby adopt the following and as our forefathers did in defense and aid ot the United States, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred henor."
 Every person in the room signed this. or if any failed to do SO they took care that this failure was not manifest.
 A committee to formulate and report a constltution.was appointed and during it's absence in the performance of its duties Commissioner Kilgore made a short talk which seemed to meet the approval of his hearers.
 The constitution as reported was adapted without change, and under 1t thsre were elected: Geo. W. Albrechs, president; c. R. Peck, vice-president; Chas. E. Taylor, secretary; Thomas McMahon, treasurer; and Grant Mur- dock, officer of the guard; and these

Camp Idtarod No. 27, Arctic Broth erhood, after "playing 'possum" for To! these many moons appears to have re- cently got hold of very vigorous ''speed ball" of some nature, for at 6 well-attended meeting last Thursday afternoon st the M. & M.

Hall in this loveliest sweet Auburn of the plain" the proper place for starting of the fireworks. Iris we'll
 Tho blowout-which is sure to be a bowling success-will be in the nature of dance and supper, with plenty of interesting features for the entertain ment of old and young. The whole ding busted shootin' match is financed by the A. B.'s, who'll "pay the freight, |" and the gross receipts will be donated to the American Red Cross Society. That listens mighty good, don't it, CaesaR Peck?
 Tho price of ticket has been fixed at only s2.50, and, as A. Sammy Bourne says, they will be disposed of at that figure on either side of the medicine wagon." Tickets will be placed on sale at many business places through out the district, and generous pur- chasing is a certainty. The ladies are, of course, admitted free, and likewise tho kiddies, and there's room enough and welcome enough h the big hall for every dear little brat and "muvver,s own little pet' in the camD-so, bring them all along!
 The arrangements committee consists of Messrs. Cyril F. Wood. Herbert E Riley, Claude Baker and Charles E Taylor, who have authority to call to their assistance any Arctic brother that looks like he's looking for work.
 Make your arrangements so that you will be on hand on that happy occa- sion, enjoy dizzy whirl in the big hall, and at the same time ''chip in" for | good cause.

Must Husband Reserves.

Reserves must be husbanded with

to make the blow as violent as pos
sible. Let loose at the finish, with
out any lurking idea OF saving them
with a well thought out plan for
winning the battle at point chosen
and determined. reserves are thrown
in all together in an action surpass-
ing in violence and energy all other
phases Of battle-an action with
proper characteristics-sur mass
and speed. All our forces really par
tfcipate. either by preparing it or by
carrying 1t out.
I'm this our supreme aim we must
not be deceived by appearances. AL
though theory, fails when, applied by
feeble hands nd when accessories
obscure the main principle. history
and reason show US that in battle
there is a single argument which is
worth while. namely. decisive attack.
which is alone capable of assuring
