L.1ity Il State Of6ee.

The Secretary of States Office r
tainly needs q housekeeping and at the
fall election will be the time to sup.
plant W. S. Allen, politician, with a
man who can and will see that the
business of the Office is properly trans
acted. The writer on July 25th re-
ceived from that Office correction
sheet concerning the number of an au-
tomobile, the registration for which
was sent March goth. This is not a
special case, but complaints are heard
from all that the Secretary of States
Office is away behind in compiling reg
istrations and sending license plates,
something that should and can be done
promptly. 1t should not require four
months to uncover and reply to an ap-
plication for registration. Such laxity
as is prevalent in the Office of the Sec
rotary of State must be costing the
state considerable in loss of fees, with
the auto season half over before the
money orders are paid and the records
made up so county attorneys can be
furnished a list of delinquent auto
aWners.

"War Time"

A novel memento Of the great war IL
. clock, which is made from munitions
both enemy and allied collected ON
the Somme battlefield by a soldier.
who afterwards used them for this
purpose. The body Of the clock is
German shellcase, and German cart
ridges form the legs. OF the three
cartridges on top Of the timepiece, the
two outside are German, and the one
gracin1 the center French, while the
two small ornaments between these
are Belgian bullets. The side orna-
ments are made from Verey-light
cases. pierced to ADMIT of British
cartridge projecting through the top.
The pendulum consists of five
French bullets. and the figures and
hands are bent to shape from copper
wire taken from German trenches.
To complete the whole, the clock
movement inside is also Of German
make, and, after necessary repairs, is
found to be entirely adequate.

Meals 70: Farm Help.

We are instructed by the Food Ad.
ministrstion to encourage the canning
of fruit and vegetables, and one of the
purposes for limiting sugar allowed to
each purchaser is to enable everyone
having fruit or vegetables to can, to
obtain their allowance, and parties who
have not canned their fruit or -vege-
tables are urged to do 80.
The Food Administration does not in
tend to direct any person in their do
mestic arrangements, and each farmer
and farmers will use their own good
judgment a. to whether or not they
will furnish meals to those employed
or assisting in harvest and threshing.
Our instruction from the Food Admin.
istration is, that those who are work
ing and saving the crops be not cur
tailed beyond the necessary require
ments, but that providers be given
liberal opportunity to get all all sup
plies necessary to furnish good whole
some meals for their families and those
in their employ.

Lahor.9avjno Harvester.

. One thousand improved wheat-har-
vesting machines, known as combines,
will be used in Washington state and
other states Of the Northwest this
year, according to farm-help special
lists of the United States department Of
agriculture, and will effect great saw
ing in labor. These machines, which
cut the heads from wheat and thrash
the grain as they travel across the
field, can be operated by two persons.
and each machine will harvest from
$50 to 400 acres of wheat during a
season. They are marked labor savers
over the old type combine, which re-
Quired about 20 men.

Look to Africa for Food.

The worldwide shortage of food and
the certainty that this shortage will
continue in modified form for years to
come has reused France to utilize more
fully her great colonies just across the
Mediterranean. Comprehensive plans
are being formed-and started on the
way to fulfillment-for refrigerating
and packing plants in Algeria, so that
the animals need not be shipped across
the sea alive. These institutions, too,
will give a much reader and steadier
market than has been available hither-
to, and that is probably all that is
needed to quadruple the meat exports
of North Africa.
