ICE CREAM GOES AT S0CIAES
But Fourth Meal Must Not Be Re.
established, Says FOOD Admin.
istraton.

Food Administrator Deems has con
scented to the serving of ice cream at
socials, etc, but he prohibits the addi-
ton of other foods. In a statement
issued few days ago he says
"While the food administration does
neal it feels that during the next
three months it may not be unwise
to permit the liberal use of ice cream.
1T is desirable, however, that ice
cream alone be served, at socials, etc.
The addition of wheat products, for In.
stance, would charlottesville. If those
who plan ice cream refreshments can
be made to understand that the inclu-
sion of additional food will be vic.
latiOn of the fourth-meal rule, l think
we may permit the ice cream to be
served during June and July and per-
haps August, without interfering with
the food conservation program.
"The food administration desired to
secure economy in the consumption of
all kinds Of meats without the rein
stating Of the n1eatless day. There Is
now an abundance Of milk products
which can we'll be substituted in vari-
Gus forms for meat. If less milk Is
used, less milk will be produced.
Farmers will be obliged to sell their
dairy cattle because Of the, high cost
Of feeding them and the failure to find
q market for the product and this coun-
try will face the same conditions from
which the people Of Europe are now
suffering Milk is cheap animal food.
There is at the present time surplus
Of both cheese and butter. IT, these
are not used an important outlet for
surplus milk has been removed and
milk will diminish"

VIOLATE ORDERS, WIN GLORY
How One American Company, Refus-
ing to Obey, Stopped the
Hun Rush.

Paris: Aug. 7.-One Of the American
detachments that won glory in. stop
ping the last German rush, did so in
direct violation of orders. The story
was told here by a man from the de
tachmcnt which they relieved.
"When the - company came up, "
he said, ''our old man told them they
were to fall back and consolidate ON
new ground to the rear. AS we pulled
out the French on their flank sent word
over to come on back. I overheard the
answer.
"'You parlez that officer and tell him
that we like this place and we're going
to stay here was what their command
ing officer replied.
"And he did stay. And the Germans
couldn't move him, and his stand
marked the real end of the German
rush-ln violation of orders"

A SAMPLE OF THE GOODS.

The American soldier has met the
test and has shown a spirit of brav-
cry and efficiency that fills the nation
with pride. The French, English and
Italian have been quick to recognize
the sterling fighting qualities of our
men and have given them generous
praise and full credit for their achieve
ments. The reading public in this
country demands every detail of news
from the American front and conse-
quently less news from other fronts is
furnished. Under these conditions and
in our natural enthusiasm we are apt
to over-estimate the part our army is
taking at present There will be no
jealousy among the allies in this war.
There will be honor and glory enough
to go around so let the credit go where
it honestly should
In the recent battles which elimin-
ated the saliant between Scissors and
Reims 10 per cent of the burden was
borne by the French The English and
Italian divisions did Is per cent of the
fighting and Is per cent of the effort
was sustained by the Americans. Per-
haps the reason the American fighting
created so much favorable comment
was that it was typical of what could
be expected of the millions more on the
way to the front This was quickly
recognized by the allied commands
and meant nothing but defeat for the
enemy and filled them with confidence
of ultimate allied victory.

3 Die IN MYSTERY SHOOTING
Royal Hotel, canova, s. D., Scene Of
Strange Affair Involving Woman
and Two Men.

Canova, S. D.. Aug. 7-Three per-
sons are dead as the result of a, mys-
FERROUS shooting in the Royal hotel
here. They are-Mrs. T. Dexter, wife
of Canova banker; ]. r. Williams of
Anderson, Mo-, or Cedar Bluffs, Neb.,
and a woman supposed to be Williams
wife.
Williams is believed to have ended
his own life after fatally wounding
Mrs. Dexter. Whether Mrs. Williams
shot herself or was hit by a,bullet from
the gun in the hand Of Mrs. Dexter's
slayer is unknown. Mr.. Dexter has not
been able to throw any light. upon the
triple tragedy. The only witness to the
shooting was a boy who came here
with the Williamses. Mrs. Dexter,
who prior to her marriage to the Ca.
nova banker last November, was known
as Mrs. Williams, is believed to have
been the former wife Of J. r. vii.

We're found in the village church. They
had been kept under guard there by
the Germans who occupied the village.
All personal belongings Of any value
were taken from the civilians by the
enemy. Most of the civilians were old
men, women and children.
American parties also crossed the
Vesle river west of Fismes. The men
dashed over light bridges and some Of
them f1Oundered directly through the
water, which was not very deep. The
river Is only 20 to 25 feet wide.
The Germans have made strong eff
forts to dislOdge the Americans from
Fismes. For the time being that point
is the most active and noisiest along
the whole line. The captors Of Fismes,
still at the apex and in the center Of
the line as they were during the great
err part of the drive from the Marine,
are fighting with determination.

and he arranged the facts so that they
accomplished the same things as lies.
We are glad to hear that one German
has found it out, but the rest Of the
world has known it for four years
that the white books of Germany were
like most of the other things printed
and uttered in Germany-lies, lies, all
lies. They have forgotten what the
truth looks like. 1t was old Won Bis
marck who said it was easy to lie to a
foreigner-they were all such dupes,
none of them had that superman sense
of German. And lying Won Bismack
taught the diplomats of his country
that lying was high art. He himself
boosted that he brought on the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 by cleverly doc
toring a dispatch-known in history as
the Ems forgery-in which he made
the King of Prussia insult the French
ambassador and the French were so
sensitive of honor that they let that
drag them into declaration of war
against Prussia-which was what they
wanted, for the Prussian army was
ready and had nothing else to do at
that time.
But even farther back the so-called
great Frederick achieved a reputation
as liar, which has never been ex-
celled even in Germany. When Car
lyle wrote his history of Frederick,
he says, he sometimes spent whole
days trying to decipher the great
Frederick's lies. Carlyle says he Won
dered what the old fool told some Of
the lies for and wrote them out, for
in most cases the truth would have
served him better. And they were
such stupid lies, most Of them so i'm
becile-lying for the sake of lying,
but with no fine art in it, just coarse,
brutal, stupid, like the present war,
which is wholly founded also on Prus-
sian lies.

The German government is again
talking about peace terms that it
would be willing to accept. The Ger
man people should know by this time
LIARS that no one can believe them, and
nat no one will place any reliance
upon anything that they say Before
the German people can hope for peace
them in a peace conference whose
word can be relied upon. The allies
have no use for the men who lured
the Russians into peace trap baited
with a mo annexation, no indemnity

"HOLD FAST" SAYS PREMIER IN
ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE TO
THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.

The message Of Lloyd George pro-
mulgated throughout the British en-
pire on the fourth anniversary of its
entry into the war, applies with equal
force to all of the allied nations Hold
Fast was the keynote of the mes
sage which was as follows:
"The message which l send to the
people of the British empire on the
fourth anniversary of the entry into
the war is: Hold fast
1--WE are in this war for no selfish
ends We are in it to recover freedom
for the nations which have been bru
tally attacked and despoiled, and to
prove that no people, however power
full, can surrender itself to the law
less ambitions of militarism without
meeting retribution, swift, certain and
disastrous, at the hands of the free
nations of the world To stop short of
victory for this cause, would be to
compromise the future of mankind.
Say IlOli ldSl. DcCduoC Jul ~ OS-
poets of victory have never been SO
bright as they are today. Six months
ago the rulers of Germany deliberate
ly rejected the just and reasonable
settlement proposed by the allies.
Throwing aside the last mask of mod
GRAFTON, they partitioned Russia, en-
shaved Rumania, and attempted to
seize supreme power by overthrowing
the allies in final and desperate at
tack Thanks to the invincible BRAY
cry of all the allied armies, it is now
evident to all that this dream Of uni
versal conquest, for the sake of which
they wantonly prolonged the war, can
never be fulfilled
But the battle is not yet won. The
great autocracy of Prussia will still
endeavor, by violence or guile, to
avoid defeat, and so give militarism a
new lease of life We cannot seek to
escape the horrors of war for our
selves, by laying them up for our
children. Having set our hands to the
task, we must see it through until
just and lasting settlement is achiev-
ed
I'm no other way can we insure a
world set free from war.
''HOld fast.'

Make Your. Own Potato
Flour.

Make your own potato flour at
; home. 1t is easy and it produces
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 a current. Of
warm air over a stove, register,
ETC., or in a very cool oven, stir
ring frequently. Let become per-
fectly dry and grind the hard
dry pellets through the fine
blade of a food chopper, coffee
mill or feed mill. The addition
of hot water soaks the flour for
potato Soups or mashed potatoes
or flour can be used in con-
uection with other tiOurs for
baking. The excellence of the
flavor depends on the choice of
; sound potatoes and the avoid
ance of Scorching Cor browning.
The Keeping qualities depend
on complete drying"
