Later it was business pre-occupa-

need to but look out upon the world

Christ has done for womankind. There
is no place in the world where she is

WILL REGULATE PRICES
ON WHEAT SUBSTITUTES

WaShingtOn-Wheat -four substi-
tutes, which, following announcement
Of their adoption by the United States
food administration, scared to I'M
heard of prices, have been stabilized
it is announced, in line with the re-
cent pronOuncement that advances in
the prices of bread would not be sane
toned.
Investigation of the substitute mar
ket, especially corn meal, revealed
much to do with the rising prices, and
the staple reached an average price
of 10 cents pound throughout the
country, about 100 per cent above nor
NAL.
Price Should Be s Cents.
According to reports received in
Washington, wholesalers are now get
ting cornmeal at much lower figure
and the price should be in the neigh
bOrhood of cents a pound at the mill
and s cents retail.
1t will take some time, however,
for retailers to dispose Of stocks
which they acquired at the higher
price and until then there can be no
substantial reduction.
Doom to PrOfiteeringo
The food administration does not
intend to fix the price for the retail
er, but will accomplish the same re
suit by enforcement Of margin of
profits, and retailers charging what
the food administration considers to
be an unfair price will be forced to
show every step in the transaction
through which he acquired the sub
stitutes so that there may be no prof
teering.

MINIATURE CYCLONE
DOES MINOR DAMAGE.

A miniature cyclone swept through
the south and east part of town last
Friday evening about 7:3O and blew
down number of orchard trees. 1t
also tore the porch from Fred Aupper-
les house on the Platteville road.
People up town noticed the high wind
but thought nothing of it. Further
south it caused some alarm Reuben
Holzinger, east of town, said that his
silo was moved slightly but no harm
done. The storm was probably the
tail-end of the Iowa cyclone which
did much damage in the north part of
that state and further north of here.

BRIDGEPORT CHILD DROWNED.

The home of Geo. Poulda of Bridge
port, was thrown into grief Sunday a
week ago, when their little daughter
Irma, 8 years old, fell into the els
tern and was drowned. The child had
gone to get some paper from a shed
beyond the cistern and evidently fell
through the opening as the paper was
found floating on the water. The els
tern top was off for repairs. The
body had been in the water about half
an hour when found. No cutlery was
heard and it is supposed that the lit
tie one was stunned by the fall and
persisted in ten feet Of water.

RAVENOUS WOLVES KILL
MANY SHEEP FOR FARMER

Nick Adams, a we'll known Beetown
farmer, is loser of about 40 spring
lambs as the result of a ravenous
pack of wolves attacking his flock
about two weeks ago. The attack
came in broad daylight during the
last snow storm and the lambs were
struck down and killed but a short
distance from the house. The Tebos,
Blackbourns and other Beetown farm
ers are also losers of lambs. The
matter has been referred to the coun-

This week the Herald is sending out
a few subscription statements with the
idea that our request will meet a
ready response. We have not the
slightest doubt Of our subscribers
willingness or ability to pay but with
everything gone up except newspaper

We intend to deliver the best paper
possible to turn out.
We therefore ask our subscribers
to cooperate with us by making a

TREAT YOUR TUBERS
COUNTY AGENT WE'D GIVES Dr.
RECTIONS FOR HANDLING SEED
POTATOES POISON METHOD

The time is at hand for disinfect-
ing seed potatoes for scab, black
scruf and black leg.
Scab is the name given to the rough
corky spots on the surface Of the tub
ers. It is caused by a fungus that
lives in the spots and once it is in
troduced in the soil may live there
for several years. Scabby potatoes
are less valuable than those free
from scab
Black leg causes rot at the base of
the stem and sometimes of the tub
ers. Bacteria are responsible. When
potato is infected with black leg
it is often hard and dark cOlored at
the stem end.
Directions for Distinctions
Corrosive Sublimate or Formalin
may be used. Either may be obtained
at any drug store. The potatoes should
be clean and should not be cut be-
fore treating.
Corrosive sublimate solution is
made by dissolving one ounce of the
powder to one quart Of boiling water
and then diluting to 80 quarts. Treat
as many potatoes at one time as the
solution will cover. Leave the first
lot in the solution ~ hours, the Sec
ond lot IL hours and the third lot
2 hours Rinse off potatoes with
clean water at once Put the potatoes
in clean boxes and allow to stand in
the air and light for several days.
If formaIin is to be used the form
ain should be mixed with water at
the rate Of one pint to 80 quarts of
water Soak potatoes for 2 hours
The solution may be used for three
or four lots of potatoes. It isn't nee
essary to wash potatoes after treating
with formalin. Potatoes should be
allowed to stand for several days af-
ter treatment.
Cautions,
Remember corrosive sublimate is a
deadly poison if taken internally It
is colorless, odorless and tasteIesS
and if left exposed is liable to be mis-
taken for water. This solution should
be made up in wooden or cement
tubes or tanks. It will corrode met
ais. Don't leave potatoes in solution
too long Don't use too strong a solu-
ton Potatoes treated with the cor
rosive sublimate should not be used
for food after the treatment. After
the formalin treatment they may be
safely fed to stock if thoroughly
washed
After treatment potatoes should be
kept in a clean crate to prevent dis
ease getting into them a second time
