Food Conservation
BY KIRK MILLER.

America intends to win the war by
saving food, but the road to success Is
often stymied by good Intentions.
How much food we can hold out these
days depends on how much we con-
serve. not converse.
The food barons are going to have
a lot to say az to how much America
economies, but unless these lofty per-
sons turn loose some Of their eggs
they're going to have an awful flock OF
poultry to feed along about May 10.
Warm weather will make even an egg
turn democratic.
Nobody with one good brain cell still
burning IL going to drag himself away
from 80 cents for one dozen eggs which
are likely to start cackling at him on
the street car before he gets home.
An egg of only ordinary vigor could
hatch before some of our non-venti-
lated cars come along.
Of checking the enemy, but the dealers
who weigh 1t out started cutting down
long before H. Hoover started manag-
ing the team.
We know butchers who have been
weighing their thumbs so long that
digits make a tee-bone. With them a
thumb saved is pork chop earned! >.
Remember the good old days when II
we saved all our pennies for twelve
months we'd have a nickel at the END
Of the year? Well. times haven't
changed much. only nickels and pennies
are not being worn this season.
Can you imagine the physiognomy OK
the 1918 delicatessener If you asked
him for 50 cents worth of round steak? ?
You'd get the hole in the bone. with
a scowl thrown in for good measure.
Visualize for yourself the counte-
nance Of the meat broker II you asked
him for a quarters worth Of smoked
sausage! He'd ask If you wanted it on
q hard or soft rolll
Recall the time when you'd buy
dimes worth Of suet for the st. Ber-
nard and take colored boy along with
YOU to carry 1t home? That same suet
is sirloin now. and a dime wouldn't pay
Its freight home.

Central appears to have Just enough
Of a margin on Western to give 1t the
championship in the high school bas-
ket bail series. The Blue and White
yesterday put across another victory
over the Georgetown players; by a
small margin. it Is true, but still suf-
hcient to place the game in its won
and in Westerns lost column. The first
contest between the teams was taken
by Central by practically the same
score. and whenever the same team Is
winner on each occasion it must be
given the credit due its performances.
Western played a close guarding
game in the first half and at the end
Of the period finished one point to the

margin the Blue and White in holding
strictly to defensive tactics. In The
second half. though. Western started to
open up somewhat, but in offensive play
could not quite measure up to Centrars
standard.
Both teams played excellent basket ball.

the year SO far in scholastic circles. The

over stews and fries, for which the sew
eral members of the Reynolds family
have earned regulations.

remarked the clubs president.
"John Souder can't get sout to get
catfish for our chowders. he added,

catch fish through the ice"

ROD AND GUN

Thursday night at midnight the 1917-
1s season for shooting ducks and geese
terminated, and gunners will have no
more sport until the opening Of the
season for reedies, blackbirds and or
tolan on the marshes September 1.
This season the weather has been
such as to convince gunners Of the abb
solute necessity for making a change
in the ducking laws" wrote F. x.
stonestreet from Rock Point. There is
nothing new in the advocacy of the
change, but weather conditions this
winter simply have been the means
of bringing the subject more forcibly
to the attention of sportsmen."
Stonestreet is only one Of many
sportsmen who are strong advocates Of
a change. Practically all of them agree
that tho season should not open No
vember 1, 1t is stated, for the reason
that the ducks are poor and should be
given an opportunity to fatten.
"Why not postpone the opening one
month";" he asked. "and the delayed
period could be added at the end of
The season. Ducks need some blustery
weather to get them moving about. and
it seems too bad that they should be
slaughtered at a time when the wealth
er usually is too warm to keep them
over night after they are killed"
Reports from all sections of the ter
ritory adjacent to nearby rivers tell OF
how the ducks and geese have suffered
for want of sufiicient food since the
Christmas holidays, and how gunners
have been unable to kill many of them.

Several Of the more enthusiastic
sportsmen cut holes In the ice, baited
them and managed to kill the ducks as
they appeared, the open water attract
ing them. All those who fed the ducks
did not kill them. however. according
to reports, but some did 50 because OF
their fondness for them and because
they regarded the feeding as being a
humane act.
