their six-months stay in Nogales, OF,

That the boys are glad to get home
goes without saying. This week

boys in the service, received a very
interesting letter from LLOYD. in which
he says in part:
Il am sure glad to get started
home as am getting somewhat
tired of this sort of life, but when
we are getting ready to leave here.
we can all be heard to say. that No
gales is not such a bad place after
all. The people of Nogales think the
Idaho boys are the only boys here.
we can always remember that we
have name here that none of us
need be ashamed or. AT reception

the ladies said il was like taking
their own folks away for the I'd Id

Regan, who was just like one of the
boys, and would get out and carry

KIND TO PRISONERS GUILTY
German Women Warmed That They
Will Be Punished for LACK
of Self-Respect."

Women, even the miraculous Ger
man superwomen, are incorrigible,,
observes writer In the Literary Dr.
gest. The German government has
just discovered to It's horror that
Gretchen, in common with all the
daughters of Eve, is not insensible
to the charms Of well favored man,
and, if given the opportunity, even
she is disposed to flirt. The Franken-
furter Zietung Indignantly writes:
Female inhabitants Of houses adj
jacent to camps of officer prisoners
of war have communication with the
imprisoned officers, and even throw
them things. Thanks, however, to the
sharp lookout kept by the authorities,
the attempts in each case were frus-
trated. The guilty persons, who be-
long to all classes Of society and are
of various ages, were discovered
"While the police authorities have
hitherto considered sharp reprimands
as sufficient warnings, In the belief
that such unconsidered acts were due
to foolish desire for sensation, in
future such conduct will be visited
by very severe legal penalties and
public exposure. These penalties will
furthermore be imposed without dis
elimination on all who may render
themselves guilty of such lack Of self
respect"

Burbank's Liberty Wheat
Gives Promise That Bread
Is to Be More Abundant

AS Luther Burbank has not been in
the habit of INDUCING in baseiess SEN
sations, the announcement from Santa
Rosa that, after eleven years of ex-
perimentation, he has evolved wheat
plant which will yield an average of
forty bushels to the acre of grain
possessing a high percentage of glu-
ten becomes news of first Importance.
asserts writer in the New York
World.
Although the wheat crop of the
United States is greater than that of
any other nation, the average yield to
the acre has always been compara-
lively small. Some years ago it did
not exceed twelve bushels. Taking
into account what Mr. Burbank has
done in the matter of potatoes, apples
and plums, to say nothing of flowers.
as to which he has almost wrought
miracles, we may easily accept at face
value whatever he has to say in re-
gard to cereals.
Wheat flour has become so vital as
food of civilization that strenuous
efforts have been made to extend the
acreage and by more careful methods

British Food Experts Tell
How Potato Butter Is Made

Butter, which formerly was an exclu-
siye product of the COW, will in future
be made from nuts and potatoes. The
latest substitute to compete with the
bovine nectar of the meadow and the
silo has been announced by the con-
servation department of the United
States food administration to be pota-
to butter. m
From the home of the magma char

British ministry of food that potato
butter can be made for ten cents a
pound. Here is the modus operandi: :
I, 'Peel the potatoes. Boil until they
fall to pieces and become floury. Rub

OUR LITTLE HOUR

Our little hour-how swift it flies
When poppies flare and lilies smile;
How soon the feeting minute dies,
Leaving US but little while
To dream our dream, to sing our song,
To pick the fruit, to pluck the flower,
The gQds-they do not give US long
Our little hour. .>.s4

Our little hour-how short time
To wage our wars, to fan our hates,
To take our fill of armored crime,
TO troop our banners, storm the gates.
Blood on the sword. our eyes blood-red,
Blind in our puny reign of power
Do we forget how soon is sped
Our little hour?
Our little hour--how soon it dies:
How short time to tell our beads.
To chant our feeble litanies,
To think sweet thoughts, to do good
deeds.
The altar lights grow pale and dim,
The bells hang silent in the tower
So passes with the dying hymn
Our little hour.
