BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can but it is poorer
bread, aad the British government is
paying $20O,0O0,O 900 a year toward the
COS of ii.
ALI the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken yer by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated wal bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents. the two pound loaf
at o cents and the one pound loaf AT =
rents
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger e
traction, the four pound loaf sells Tor
Is cents.

need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their f1ocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the wal and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tlation reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
err European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory = approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain felds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIPS !;
November and December, $16.0S; Jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07, 900 head of
cattle in 1918, she now has only H.
341, 900, a decrease of 1866 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the prOduc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-

mates that when the people listen (,

has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.

the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties

is reaching the millers and consumers
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 81
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush.

Corn has become the nations main

American ~colonists from famine or
many occasions, just as it served as Il
staple food during the War of he Rev

Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autocracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make. leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-using corr meal entire
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is associ.
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead Of
@ranulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for

A REAL REPRESENTATIVE

AS one of the fine delegation of rep
resentatives in the state legislature,
A. B. Dalthorp Of Volga, gave Brook
ings County splendid service two years
ago as a member of the lower house.
Equipped by nature and education
with qualities that make him a leader,
he used these endowments with a
keen sense Of discrimination, and to
the fullest extent in furthering the in
terests of his constituents. He was a
member OF the most important COM
mittees and as such was alert in see.
ing that the interests Of the state
were safe guarded and the taxpayer
protected to the fullest extent. He is
energetic, cautious and prudent. A
large land owner himself, he Is inter
ested in seeing that the laws passed
are of value to the farmer and meant
to promote his welfare and well being
All during the war he has given Of his
time most generously in supporting
the measures of the government and
in every campaign for the raising of
money he has taken an active part,
both in contributing and in soliciting
others to do the ame A patriotic
citizen in every sense, Mr.. Dalthorp
has set an example that is n good to
follow by all other citizens. He has
beer a faithful servant Of the people
in the Legislature and we will be con-
serving our own interests by return
ing him to look after the making OF
laws and the appropriation Of the
states money. He was highly respect
ed by hisa associates in the house and
his advice sought after By other men,
bers in the support of many measures.
He really represented BroOkings
county in 1917 at Pierre, and will do so
again in 1919. He is the kind of a man
we need at the state capitol.

THE CROW'S-NEST


1t may be a waste Of words to be
calling attention to the useless wastes
that are more or less apparent to any
observer every day. In the hauling of
coal, for instance. the scarcity OF
which has been of SO much concern
this season, il Is not an uncommon
sight to see a wagon loaded so full
that 1t can be tracked from the car
to distant cellars by the Jumps that
fall off and are scattered along the
road to be crushed to dust by other
traffic. The purchaser does not get
even the eighty per cen of his order
that is allowed him. A freight train
passed through the yards a few days
ago in which there was a car loaded
with wheat and from the side door
there trickled a little stream of the
grain as thick as a lead pencil or larg-
err and no telling how much OF the load
would be wasted before it arrived at
the next stopping place where the
leak might possibly be fixed. A SOL
der, writing from the front, where he
says that gasoline is almost worth its
weight In gold, calls attention to the
fact that we are advised to save waste
paper on account Of the scarcity Of
paper making materials and are al
lowed at the same time to waste prec-
ious gas in pleasure riding and other
uses that could be avoided. They say
that it takes four pounds of coal to
manufacture a pound of paper and
there Is a good reason for not wasting
any of it or anything else that is so
vital to the needs of carrying the war to
a victorious conclusion. The wasting
Of sweets and many other things Is
pretty well under federal control, but
there Is no doubt but that the line Of
restrictions will have to be further ex-
tended before we reach the era Of
world peace again.

THE MAN TO VOTE FOR

Among the candidates to be voted
for week after next, there is no man
who is better qualified for the place,
than the republican candidate for
sheriff. John Nolan is a farmer, has
been a successful n all during his
residence in the county, and is an &C
tive. careful and progressive man in
every enterprise in which he enlists
He can be depended on to use Judge
ment in carrying out the duties of the
office, a virtue that Is rare and much
needed by a public official. He has
been thrifty and economical in the
management of his W affairs and
that is an indication that he would ap-
ply the same methods in handling the
business of the county. He has always
been a law abiding citizen and tne
people would be assured that he
would see that every law and proper
order was recognized and respected.
He has been generous and patriotic in
the support Of all the war measures,
giving of both his time and money to
support the government. He has two
sons in the service and we rather
think that John would like to be in
the scrap himself. The republicans
picked a good, capable man when they
nominated John Nolan and the voters
of the county will make no mistake III

THIS Is THE U

For a couple OF weeks the Register
run an advertisement of the Olson
Graves Co., to the effect that you
should figure your clothes expense by
the year and not by the suit" There
Is SO much truth in this that it is
worthy of being called to your atten-
ton specially. When you buy a suit
Of clothes, get good materials and
workmanship, and then wear them
several years, you are getting lots
for your money than If you
bought clothes yearly and had them
play out on you. 1t is no economy to
pay a small price and get poor goods.
The true economy in life. as in clothes,
is to buy the best and get the full max
imum of service and ear Never
practice any cheap economies on your
self, whether in clothes, health or food.
Always remeber that it pays to get
the best. that your pocketbook can
possibly afford. There is no economy
in cheapness. 1t is shoddy. just like
the clothes it represents. The mer-
chant who advertises like Olson

idea is based or fact and their advice
Is good beyond any doubt Or dispute.
