It is still time to set out in
the garden a. few good rutabagas
for next years seed.
| It is also time for the ladies'
to begin planning next winters
family rations. A large amount
of surplus garden vegetables can
be easily preserved for next win
ter's use in a manner that will
make them nearly as fresh as
they are now. We have supply
of bulletins and information for
all who are not familiar with can
ming by the cold pack method.
One can of some vegetable for
each day next winter not only
adds to the ease of planning the
meals, but cuts down the expen-
ses for canned goods and allows
the canned goods now. purchased
to be sent to our soldiers at the
front. A canning campaign has
been started in many counties
and should be encouraged every
where. What is true of live
stock feeding is also true in sup
plying the family, namely; max
ing our own farms and families
self-supporting thereby reducing
cost and relieving transporta-
ton. Our motto should be: To
feed ourselves on the products
grown near by.
A very interesting meeting
was held in Finlayson last Thurs
day evening and the County
Farm Bureau Manager lead in a
discussion on potatoes and dairy
feeding problems. Much inter
est was manifest in these two
subjects. Seven men present

THE VALUE OF MILK
The keeping of dairy animals
was the greatest animal factor in
the history and development of
man. We are now at a critical
period when the dairy industry
needs all possible support. The
shipping of butter to our Allies
has been much less than esti-
mated because of the lack of
ships. And we have in store
1880 more packing butter.
1O8% more creamery butter,
$3.50 more cheese and a greatly
increased amount of condensed
milk. The dairy industry of the
United States is one of the great
est single factors in the main
tenance of sol! fertility and per-
manent agriculture. besides fur
nishing a food for infants that
can't be substituted and over half
of the beef of the United States
is from dairy bred animals. The
food value of milk, butter and
cheese is not correctly under
stood by the consuming public;
neither is the Importance of the
dairy husbandry fully appreci-
ated in it's bearing on
agriculture. One quart
of milk at 15c will furnish
more nutriment to the human
body than good beefsteak at Csc.
Without milk the proper growth
Of children and to a certain de-
gree the health of older people
cannot be at its maximum. The
vitaminee contained in milk and
milk products are not found in
all other foods. We wish to call
attention of the farmer as we'll
as city people to the fact that
greater use of milk in the diet
is very important from the
standpoint of permanent agricul-
ture. health of the family and
economy.

COAL INVESTIGATION
HELD UP FOR ADAY
Senator Lodges Absence on
Account Of Death of Maj.
Gardner Is Cause.

| Further investigation into the coal
situation by the subcommittee of the
Senate manufactures committee was
postponed until tomorrow owing to the
fact that Senator Lodge of, Massa-
chusetts, a member of the committee,
was absent on account Of the death of
his son-in-law, Maj. A. P. Gardner.
| Senator Reed announced that the
hearing would begin again tomorrow
with F. s. Peabody on the stand. to be
followed by G. W. Naysmith Of the
fuel administration.
F. s. Peabody Outlines Plan.
A plan to remedy the coal situation
and to assure the country sufficient
coal for next winter was outlined by
F. S. Peabody, chairman of the coal
National Defense. at hearing before
| the Senate manufactures committee
yesterday afternoon. The essential fea-
| lures Of this plan are:
To establish zones throughout the
country for the production and dis
ttribution Of coal, eliminating the long
hauls of coal that are now frequent by
putting the coal into the hands of con-
| sumers nearest to the point of produce
tion.
To readjuSt prices OF coal, fixing them
| in accordance with the thickness of
the veins and the quality of the coal.
Mr.. Peabody explained that this could
largely be done by districting the
country, because the coal varied in
vein and in quality with some regular
| ity.
! To let it be known there would be
permanency of prices SO fixed. plus
| tany additional cost for labor that may
be allowed in the future, during the
period Of the war and six months
thereafter.
| Premium on Clean Coal.
| To put a premium on clean coal.
thereby increasing the value of the
product and saving the use of thou

carrying the dirt along with the coal.

a trained and practical railroad man.
II these recommendations are adopt
ed, Mr.. Peabody predicted that it would
be possible to increase the coal output
at least 20 per cent. and that plenty of
the coal and labor to mine it.
! Again and again, Mr.. Peabody said,
he called the attention of Mr.. Harry A.
Garfield. head of the fuel administra-
tjon, and other oficia1s of the fuel ad-
ministration to these matters, beginning
last August, but SO far he has received
only letters stating that the various
matters were under consideration.

promise Of relief from the cold weather

since the new year was ushered in.
It will be fair tonight and tomorrow.

bring the temperature down to about 20
degrees, it is stated.

COAL AND FOOD GO
TO NEEDY SECTIONS
First Priority Shipment to
Meet Shortages in the
Northeast.
SUPPLY FROM new YORK

| Movement of coal to relieve the short
age in the northeast and bunker ships
loaded with Army supplies tied up in
New York harbor. went forward today
under the first priority arrangement
made since the government took con-
troll of the railroads.
The plan Of limited preferential ship
ments announced by Director General
| McAdoo was put into operation by the
railroad arrangements without issu-
ance OF formal priority orders and i'm
cluded food as well as coal. 1t was
found necessary because of Interrupt
ton of traffic by recent billiards. in the

Advice of A. n. Smith.
Action on the New York situation was
taken ocl the advice of A. II. Smith.
assistant director in charge of eastern
lines. who reported that us ships were
held i'll the harbor awaiting bunker coal.
Director McAdoos priority instructions
contemplate: First. the movement of
coal for householders and vital public
utilities: second, food: third. coal for
bunkering ships loaded for American
armies abroad and for the allies.
At the same time Fuel Administrator
Garfield issued similar orders for the
distribution of coal. putting the needs
of householders. public utilities and
transatlantic shipping ahead of war in
dustries and industries Of other classes.
Will Apply to All States.
The fuel administrator plan for gen.
eral coal distribution to meet the east
ern famine will probably apply to all
states east of the Mississippi river. and
will be put into effect by state fuel ad-
ministrators.
Industries other than those engaged
in war production were listed in the
last class of the fuel administrations
scheme. and probably will be closed
down until more urgent needs are sup
piled. Their supplies of coal even may
be requisitioned for distribution among
the favored classes. The less essen
tial industries also may be classified
further. as 1t probably will be found
necessary to keep some Of them run
ming more steadily than others.

CLEAN oIrT THE STINK

The Albert Echorn murder case
has brought out several things which
perhaps are right, but they sound
mighty queer to our ears, and make
it look to us as if there is something
wrong somewhere.
An officer of the law was called TO
the stand and under cross eXamina-
tion is said to have made the admis-
sion that he had collected pay from
both sides, having been paid by the
county, and then received pay from
the defense for work on the case.
Did he do something which is unbe-
coming to an officer of the law? II
he did he should be removed. If not
il should be brought out, and shown
to be so, that he may be entitled "a
the respect in which our officers
should be held. The matter should
be thoroughly investigated, by the
proper authorities.
There is question in our minds, as
to whether or not some of the wit
nesses told the truth-there seems tC
be an under current somewhere in tn,
case. Without question it reacted
against the defense
We believe that Prosecutor Ora l.
Smith should sift these matters, anC
if he does he is certain to have tn,
backing Of the entire county. Their,
is a feeling that Gratiot should cleai
out the stink.
