MAKES HIS 1WN SUGAR

Limited by the Food Administration
to forty-seven pounds OF sugar a month
for bread-making. W. F. Pritts of the
Pritts Baking Company, ao1 Bannock
street. Denver. found a way to maks
his own sugar. Mr.. Pritts is also head
OF the bakery division of the Fsod Ad-
E,inistration for Colorado.
He returned his sugar certificates to-
the sugar division Of the Food Admin
fstration, effecting a saving of moro
than 500 rounds OF sugar year right
there. and row 10 willing to give his
recipe for sugar manufacturing to any
other baker who will ,communicato
with him.
The sugar IL produced out Of the
chemical reaction of barley malt on
corn starch and II q powerful sweet
ener. Here is the recip. in brief:
MOisten barley and let 1t sprout:
dry by heat: break off the sprout:
make q barley broth (malt): cool thor
oughly: make regular corn stars.l
pudding. bringing 1t to stiff boil: add
the barley broth or malt. Presto!-

The few people in America who

America must be responsible for the

food stuffs. saved at his own table.
Hoover has promised that the 100.-
OG0,C00 of US will save and ship 1850

half as much again as last year.

kinds of food: this tightening By ha't

SIXTH MONTHLY
SCHOOL REPORT


At the end Of sixth month last
year o16 pupils had enrolled. the
above tabulated record showing a
decrease OF 152 pupils in enrolment.
The record shows an abnormal de-
crease In number belonging this
month, but this Is attributed to a
large extent to the prevalence Of
measles, grip, etc, among our pupils.
All pupils out for three days arc
automatically dropped from the rolls
at the end OF the third day and are
not a permanent loss to the school.
Much OF the decrease. Of course is
due to the moving away Of some
considerable number OF people on nc
count Of the drouth.
The corresponding month last year
showed SO tardies against 20 this
month but the number this month Is
entirely too great and must be redus-
cd. There were 56 cases Of corporal
punishment the sixth month last year
against . this year, which indicates
more strongly than any words The
improved conditions.
In all essential respects the schools
are in good condition. There Is ab-
solute harmony throughout the fac
ulty and a more conscientious CO.
operative, and efficient body Of
teachers than these constituting your
present corps, have mover known IN
a systc moi this size The student
body with some exceptions is lining
up to the reasonable rules and regula
tlons Of the school as iB shown BY
the small number Of punishments nee
essary. The patrons Of the schools
have shown, in the main, a coopera-
tive spirit and we feel especially
grateful to each and every one for
his support This spirit Of coopera-
tion is absolutely basic and funda-
mental as requirement for success

"a CALL OF DEMOCRACY

BY David Starr Jordan In the Ro-
pubic,
There will never b FREQ and on
llghtened state until the state comes
% recognize the Individual as a high
or and Independent power from
which all It's own power and author
ity are derived, and treats him ac-
cordingly.-Thoreau
Through the ages. says Barbusso,
the people are nothing; they should
be overything"* This epIgrom OF
the French soldier may we'll be a
watchword OF Democracy. The mod
ern world, as now so often para
phrased from Lincoln, cannot en-
dure half-slave. half free" that is,
half Of II under the government. "pi
tho people, by the people, for tho
people" half Of II subject to ire
sponsible olIgarchles, parasitic on the
divine right OF kings" Wherever
arbitrary power exists. II will be used
in arbitrary ways. The only antidote
to Its abuses is to bo found In gov
eminent by the people. This Is no in
Simultaneous remedy applied once for
all. II is the process OF growth. The
people must feel their way, learning
from their own mistakes, building
their loftler ideals on the wreckage
OF past hopes.
II matters little what the short
comings OF Democracy are. The es-
sential thing Is progress In enllghton
ment and Justice; the way leads
through freedom. No people ever had
a government better than It de-
served. II is a quality OF Democracy
always to deserve something better.
A perfect government would be su-
perfluous.As Goethe once observed,
1.-THE best government is that which
renders itself unnecessary" The be-
setting sin Of most governments
which endeAvor to be good Is that
they attempt too many things the
people should do for themselves, The
highest duty OF a government is to
keep the road unobstruc.ed so that
each man can make bis own way for
himself.
