 On the Front in France.
 August 19.
 My Dear Nephew: We have finally got into the big game, and life has been very interesting ever since, every minute and then some, for we have the best of fireworks every night and free of charge. too, for Fritz is a good entertainer and isn't bit stingy in handing it out. all day and all night, baby boy-but I am having the time of my life, the widest dreams of my youth realized. a warrior bold and all loaded down with ammunition, and I feel like the bold, bad man you read about in the novels and see on the screen. Only there are times when vour old Unk doesn't feel so very brave and bold because Fritz does not know how tc play. He is careless with his gun and sometimes I almost have faint suspicion that he really tries to hurt some of us.
 I have run across a lot of Hun souv- enirs that he has left behind in his nasty flight, but we have learned not to pick them up. It's too tricky, he can fix helmet CT something so that when you moxe it. it sets off a bomb and then it is, good night, and then some. I have nod some great expert | ences since hitting the front, such i as tearing along a shell torn road with | shells cutting the air in front of the machine and in the rear. with shrap- neI bursting Ill around and boehe ] planes circling over your head trying to get your goat and now and then 2 little gas for good luck. But then, il l is the samc as everything else, ani one soon gets tired of it, gosh yes, Ft just as soon be home playing horse sboes-yes. yes, ch. yes indeed.
 I'm living in a dugout and it wal such hard work to dig it I wanted tt quit, but when a few shells passet | overhead, believe me. they had to sto1 me from digging or I would be dig ging yet. Yes. my boy. l dug more dir in one hour than forty Wops on { state road could dig in nine weeks.

But they rest assured in Norwich that the Rose of New England boys can give a good ac- countof themselves any time day or night When Kaiser Bill sends over a hot one he is promptly answered by our battery three and six to one and then some And whenever We send 8 barrage you can read newspaper by the flare of our guns And with the airplanes dropping bombs and shrap- mel flying it kinder makes a fellow | think of Ed.

For grinding excess amounts of
wheat flour for farmers, the Bonduel
Feed and Light Co., of Bonduel, Wis,
has been ordered closed until the mat
ter of a license is presented to the
State Food Administration for consid-
Grafton. The millerS have been or
dered to see that the excess -four de-
livered to all their farmer customers
be returned to the mill and held for
further disposition by the Administra-
ton. In getting the flour back, the
farmer is entitled to q reasonable sup
ply for thirty days. Each one of these
farmers who have taken wheat to the
mill and had it ground in excess of the
amount allowed by the food regula-
lions is guilty of violation of them,
and their cases will be considered
after the report from the miller of the
amount of flour which had to be
brought back to his mill has been
made to the administration. The mill
is ordered to furnish the Enforcement
Division of the Wisconsin Food Ad-
ministration with copy of it's grist
books from March LIST down to the

CAN WITHOUT SUGAR
Cold Pack Method Well Adapted
For Putting Up Fruits
and Juices.
MAKE JELLY IN WINTER.

We have become so accustomed to
the liberal use of sugar that many of
US have forgotten that vegetables,
fruits and fruit juices may be put up
for future use without necessarily US
ing any sugar except that which is
present in the vegetables or fruit it.
self
Although we may have twenty-five
pounds at time for canning purposes
on the certificate plan, we will be do
ing a patriotic service by putting off
the jelly making and preserving until
the new crops come in, and more of
our boats are launched which we can
send to more distant parts for sugar.
If we put up all of our fruits and fruit
juices by the cold pack method or the
open kettle method, not using sugar in
any way, we will have no difficulty
with the process. When we wish to
make preserves, jams, or jellies from
these canned fruits and juices we can
add the right amount of sugar and fin
ish as needed for future consumption
Sweetness Lost In Canning.
Sugar used in putting up acid fruits
is changed by the acid into another
type of sugar which is less sweet, and
so we lose the sweetening strength in
cooking the sugar with the fruit in the
canning process.
The reason for making jelly as it is
needed is that with some fruit juices
on long standing crystals are formed
in the jelly. When jelly is made few
days before being used, which it is
perfectly possible to do when the juice
is canned and put away for winter use,
the jelly is fresher, sweeter and no
crystals will have formed There is
then practically no loss from spOilage
and fruit juice may be had also for
favoring, jelly making, or sherbets as
needed.
Saves Labor and Storage Space.
The storage of fruit and fruit juices
is more easily solved when they are
in quart jars, and the labor is also less
in the heat of summer. The saving of
fuel is greater, too, as in winter the
jelly can be made while there is q
constant fire in the kitchen range.
In summer canning limit the use of
sugar until the canned products are
prepared for immediate use.

WHEAT SAVING ADVICE
BY THRESHING EXPERTS
Farmers Can Secure Valuable Sug-
gestons BY Getting in Touch With
County Threshing Committee.

Like the wise men of old, the group
of experts who have studied the
threshing situation wish to help the
threshers by sharing with them the
information they have accumulated
The Grain ThreShing Division would
suggest, for instance, the running of
the cylinders of the separator up to
speed as well as keeping the entire
outfit in proper adjustment, the avoid
ance of irregular and careless feeding
of the bundles into the machine and
of threshing grain that is unripe or
damp.
At the suggestion of the u. S. Food
Administration, they encourage tight
bottom bundle wagons SO as to save
the grain that scatters out on the way
to the machine. They also urge the
raking of the shock rows and a thor.
ough cleanup before the machine is
moved.
Attention to these details through
out Wisconsin will mean many more
bushels for the Sammies who are
fighting our battles for us across the
ocean.

REGULATIONS OF WIS.
FOOD AID MINISTRATlON

Giving up wheat is a little
thing compared to the death
struggle in which our boys are
! sharing.
Now is the hour of test for US
5 who remain at home. Wheat is
the test. We cannot make up
for the submarine losses nor re-
7 place the spent reserves, but if
s we follow these suggestions of
the Wisconsin Food Administra-
ton, we can ship more, and
that will help greatly in cir
; cumyenting the starvation plans
of the Kaiser:
The strong should abstain
from wheat entirely.
Retail purchases of flour
should be limited in quantity
and be accompanied by at least
! equal weight of other cereals.
: Public eating places should
serve not more than ounces of
wheat products, flour included,
) to guest at any one meal.
No wheat should be used in
) manufacturing for anything but
food.
, Bakers should keep within 70
per cent of flour formerly used;
: three-fourth pound loaves should
go as far as pound loaves usu-
ally do.
Changing our habits is none
too easy, but it is no easy task
to win our war.

EAT BEANS TO SAVE BEEF.

The day when beans shall
take the first place has arrived
now that there is a shortage of
beef. No longer shall they be
relegated to ironing day, but be
served for Sunday dinner.
Beans are really the most pa
triotic food at present and
should be honored as such since
they furnish a splendid suhsti-
tute for meat. Hoover has
warned us of the urgent need
of the army and Allies for beef,
we know that the present sup
ply is insufficient, and reasoning
proves that the only way to Sc
cure an adequate export until
more animals come to market is
to eliminate beef from our diet.
Let beans take it's place!

necessary.
AS result of this plundering, there
is now practical exhaustion of ami
