There was quite an excitement in our
little village recently when supposed
German spy passed through. A large
crowd soon gathered with two officers
to see the German dressed in woman's
clothes; but, when investigation was
made, it was found that the supposed
lspy was only poor woman, about 20
years old, on her way to visit relatives
at Buffalo Valley. This little incident
goes to show what would be done
should a sure-enough German spy
come among US. The old gentleman

STRIKE OF DESERTERS."
Thousands of Them in in Switzerland
Refuse to Work.

Zurich, Switzerland, March 22.-(Cor
respondence of the Associated Press -
A strike of deserters" has been in prog
ress here for some weeks. The twelve I,
thirteen thousand deserters, mostly from
the central empires, who have taken ref
uge in Switzerland are as rebellious tc
service in the field and the factory a,
they are in the front line trenches, and
most of them refuse to work.
Until recently every deserter who
could find his way across the frontier
into Switzerland was given shelter with
no other condition than that he pay
his taxes and observe the law. The
number continually increased and on the
occasion of the riots in Zurich the fed
eral authorities discovered that there
were too many of these deserters among
the leaders of the disorder. II was then
decided to order civil mobilization that
would enable the government TO round
up all unoccuped foreigners and set
them to work.
The strike of the deserters followed
this mobilization. The desertcrs pre-
tended to the right, of asylum in the
country without the obligation to work.
They were supported by certain ele-
ment of the Swiss Socialist party with
maxmalist tendencies.
1--WE came here to escape servitude,"
the deserters said, 1--WE reject all obi
cations of service, military or civil; we
will obey no order and we summon the
Socialist party of Switzerland to sustain
us Immediately"
The Socialist party of Switzerland
met at Often in general convention and
though sustaining the strikers in a pla
tonic way, invited them to go back to
work. Thereupon the deserters and the
extremists OF the Socialist party or
ganzed sort of soviet in Zurich.
Socialist members of the federal coun
I'll are endeavoring TO get the govern
ment to annul the civil mobilization de-
,ree but public opinion in vast ma
ority is stoutly opposed to any conces
sions to the deserters.

Ohio's Big Coal Reserve.

The Buckeye state is still large
storehouse of coal, despite the 100000
600 tons that has been mined
Those who are interested in obtaining
general idea of the coal fields and coal
resources of the United States will find
/ interesting reading in Professional Paper
! l00-B, which has Just been issued by the
United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior. This paper contains
description of the coal fields of Ohio,
prepared BY J. A. Bownocker, state geol-
ogist. and computation of the original
tonnage OF coal in the state before min
Ing began, BY +. II. Clark. 1t is the sec
ond part Of a large report, which is in
tended to treat OF sll the coal fields of
this country, exclusive of Alaska Ohio
is one of the great coal producing states,
standing fourth in the list, with over
% ,000, 900 tons to its credit in 1918, and
also fourth in order in the total number
of tons produced since mining began.
Since 1888 there have been mined in Ohio
more than 700000,000 tons OF coal. This
looks like an extremely large amount,
but at the present rate of consumption,
it would last the United States only a
little more than year.
In Professional Paper l00B, Professor
Bownocker describes the beds of coal
that have produced this large amount,
together with beds not yet mined. Alto
gether the coal beds of the state, accord
ing to the figures of Mr.. Clark, are eapa-
BILE of producing probably s6,000,000 tons
in the future, when the demand will be
SO great that even impure Goals and thin
beds wifi be worked.

Instead of Bread.

onion juice, salt and pepper Mix all to-
gether, place in creased ramekins and

pings, being careful to have the fat well
heated before adding the cakes, This
amount will make six medium-sized
cakes.
Rice Corn Pudding-One tablespoon
rice, one and one half cups boiling water,
one cup cornmeal, one tablespoon fat,
two well beaten eggs, two cups milk,
one teaspoon salt one teaspoon baking
powder. Boil the rice in the water for 10
minutes. Scald half the corn meal with
the boiled rice mixture Add melted fat
and the well beaten eggs. Then add the
milk and the remainder of the corn meal,
together with the salt and baking pow

Hominy Balls-One cup cooked hom

merce, by Commercial Agent Frank

way equipment and supplies in use in
those countries. machinery and tools are
first in volume of imports from the

Other supplies and equipment for the
state railways are purchased to some ex-
tent in America, because in some re-
spects railway conditions in Australia
and New Zealand are similar to those in
the United States, but the tendency is
to manufacture at home all possible sup

American manufacturer, by reason of
the recognized excellence of his prod
net, is able to compete more successfully
with European and domestic concerns
than in any other line. as shown by the
business done in the past.

Making Wartime Use of Rye.

BY Americans rye has been looked
upon rather as fodder than as human
food. But in northern Europe rye bread
has been almost the foundation of theil
diet, while rye porridge has taken tn,
place OF our oatmeal as a breakfast dish
The well known pumpernickel of Ger
many is made of rye.
In the matter of nutrition, rye is equal
TO the other cereals, while in bread max
ing its gluten value is next TO that OF
wheat.
IL makes flesh and gives strength and
endurance. In bread making, rye -four
is generally mixed with some wheat -four
as alone it is not only dark in gluten but
apt to be too soft and soggy. A good
proportion for bread dough is six pounds
of rye to two pounds of wheat to two
yeast cakes.
Such an admixture OF rye in the use of
wheat will save many pounds of wheat
flour for the urgent needs OF the allies.
The growing of rye has been until re-
Gently limited to the eastern and north
ern half of our country, the principle
production being in Minnesota and the
states east of the Mississippi and north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Now.
however, it is being cultivated in Ne
braska, the Dakotas and Kansas while
Indiana and Ohio are also beginning to
SOW il.
The increasing demand both at home
and abroad for all cereals has increased
the price of rye enough to make in
creased acreage advantageous. Hereto
fore, the average for rye has been from
100000 to $500, 900; but in 1917 nearly
100000 acres were sowed in rye. 1t is
not only easily grown but it can be
grown in ground too poor for wheat, high
and sandy soil being better adapted to
its cultivation than the heavier clay
Both the appeal of patriotism and its
greatly increased market price are
prompting the farmers of this country
to put more of their land TO rye. Mil
lers are being urged to grind it and now
the housewives of the country can do
their part by learning how to use il as
wartime substitute. The following re, |
cipes for the bread, mullins and drop
cakes will give variation to "wheatless"
days:
Rye Bread-0ne cup scalded milk, one

RESTRICTS RAILROAD PLANS.
McAdoo's First Act Under New Bill Is an
Order Governing New Enterprises,
Betterments and Purchases.

Washington, March 23.--The first ac
of Director General McAdoo after Presi
dent Wilson signed the railroad bill
which provides $5000,000 revolving
fund and prescribes basis of compen
sation to the owners during federal OPP
Grafton, was TO issue an order restrict
ing the railroads capital expenditures to
extensions and betterments absolutely
essential under war conditions.
One of the first results probably will
be an arrangement by which the govern.
ment will participate in the meeting of
S43,000,000 notes of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad company.
In his order yesterday Mr.. McAdoo
asked railroads considering extensions TO
be guided by the wartime necessity for
conserving capital, labor and material,
and by the idea that enterprises which
might be meritorious from the stand
point of an individual line, may not be
desirable now that the railroad systems
have been unified under government con
troll He specified that construction of
new lines or branches and purchase of
locomotives or cars should not be under
taken without his approval.
Extension work contracted for before
Jan. | may be continued. No work in
volving charge of more than $4,000
to the capital account may be started
without the director generals approval.
Enterprises requiring less than that
amount do not require specific approval
providing they are essential and are in
conformity with previously established
custom of the road
The railroad administration is expect,
ed to encourage railroads to float secur-
ity issues for capital expenditures with
out government aid whenever possible
but in many eases large part Of the Sc
c,Irities will be bought by the govern
ment.
