OLD MILL AGAIN in USE
Only Water Mill Now in Operation In
Country Grinds Out Wheat
Flour.

Jeffersonville, Ind. - Whole wheat
flour is being manufactured at a mill
in Clarke county which is 100 years
old, and is said to be the only water
mill now in operation in the country.
The mill, which is three miles from
Charlestown, is known as the Tunnel
mill. 1t is so called because at point
in Fourteen Mile creek tunnel has
been cut through solid rock. "a feet
below the summit of the hill 1t pene-
trates and the mill race is fed through
this tunnel, five feet wide and six feet
high, to the overshot water wheel
erected in the mill below.
The mill Is of frame, so by 35 feet
in size, and the wheel has diameter
of 20 feet, though it is said there is
room for one of 26 feet. The tunnel
is 800 feet long. 1t was built from
1914 to 1917 by John Work, a Clarke
county pioneer and mechanical genius,
who with gunpowder and his rude bor-
ing tools, cut two tunnels, one from
each end, that met exactly in the CEN
ter, the work costing him, 1t is record
ed, $4,000. The mill has run practi-
cally ever since, and the grinding is
done by big stone buhrs.

THE DRASTIC FUEL oRnER1

A nation engaged in war must en-
ter whole-souled into the operation of
It's vial fighting forces. Whatever
hlndefs, or prevents, the full utiliza-
ton of a maximum fighting strength
must stand aside in the emergency.
The order Of Fuel Administrator Gar
field closing down industrial plants for
4 period of five days, beginning Fri
day, the 18th, and ending at the close
of business today, is merely an ex-
ample Of what we may expect.
The further provision that practi-
cally all stores and Offices must not
use fuel for ten Mondays is impress
i've, but it must be obeyed. The re-
cent cool weather has complicated the
transportation problem and increased
the coal shortage. Mr.. Garfield esti-
mates than 100000 tons will be
saved through enforced idleness, ena-
bling the railroads to maintain ap-
proximate normal schedules during
the remainder of the war time emer-
gency.
Naturally, there will be great
outburst on the part of some patriots
We have already noticed a remarka-
BILE howl from some of the metropoli'
tan newspapers which almost lost
their voice in clamoring for war
Among politicians and people you vii
notice the same phenomena, but true
patriots, whatever their opinion, vii
cheerfully bend their will to do wha
those in authority declare the situa
ton demands. The closing OF place
of business on account of this orde
will be a better badge of patriotism
than boisterous denunciation of tn
enemy and clamorous demonstration
in favor of fight to the finish.
The authorities have time an
again emphasized that it is nation
not an army, which is in the war. TIL
fate of battles will be decided in tn
United States more than at the from
where trench warfare holds dead
lock. American troops must be sup
ported by American people in ever
possible way, to every possible limit
and business and pleasure must b
suspended in order to better protec
our soldiers and strengthen thei
swords.

HOW TO BUY POULTRY
Government Warns Against Ice
Packed Chickens.
Worth 10 to 10 Per Cent Per Pound
Less Than Those Properly
Handled.

Washington. - Paying the same
price for wet-packed chickens as for
dry-packed involves heavy money loss
to the consumer, according to the
dressed poultry specialists Of the, Unit
ed States department Of agriculture.
Government experiments have shown
that wet-packing a broiler and sending
it to market on ice causes it to lose 13
per cent of its value and fowls lose
about 10 per cent. If dry-packed broil-
ers are worth 40 cents, wet-packed are
not worth more than 80 cents; If dry
packed fowls cost 80 cents, wet-packed
one should not cost over q cents.
A chicken thrown into Ice water to
remove animal heat and sent to market
in barrel in direct contact with
cracked ice, 1t is pointed out, absorbs
water for which the consumer has to
pay chicken prices. The water also
dissolves out from the chicken valua-
BILE flavoring and nutritive substances.
These go into the water at the bottom
of the barrel along with filth that is
washed from dirty feet and bloody
heads, and trickles downward over the
poultry.
With a dYy-nacked chicken the ami
NAL heat is removed by hanging the
bird in an artfficially cooled room
maintained at nearly freezing tenapera-
ture. The chicken is then packed into
a boz containing IL birds and sent to
market. The box is hauled in refriger~
ator cars and is kept by good retailers
in good ice boxes until sold. The bird
is never wet, has no chance to absorb
water or becomes washed out. A bird
should never he wet until 1t gets a
final quick r..nsing off in the house
wife's kitcr n. The practice of some
housewives of soaking a chicken after
1t is dressed, in q pan of water, even
for an hour or two, helps to leach out
valuable qualities.

URGES PATRIOTS TO

Portland, Ore.-"Eat CLANS"
is the advice of DR.. G. FL. Ed

zoology at the University Of

clares the clam is as palatah1n

Doctor Edinondson suggeses
the use of the clam in place df
red meats, which the govern-
ment is striving to conserve.
This suggestion comes as the re-
suit Of a survey he made recent
~ under the direction of the
United States bureau of fisher
les. His object was to discover
the edible species of shellfish, to
find where they may be obtained
in quantities and to perfect
means of cooperating with those
engaged in marketing this sea
product.

THE GIST OF THE.NEWS ABOUT
AIRCRAFT PLAYS & PLAYERS

Simultaneously with the release of
The Rose of the World" an Aircraft
picture starring Elsie Ferguson, which
has just been released, comes the an
nouncement that her next photoplay
will be "The Song of Songs" from the
play by Edgar Sheldon. This was
adapted to the screen by Charles
Maigne and directed by Joseph Kauf-
man. 1t presents Miss Ferguson in an
exceedingly emotional role, very sim
liar to the one she interpreted in ''The
Outcast" on the speaking stage, and
In which she scored the greatest sue
cess of her career. The play is high
class melodrama, replete with sensa-
tional incidents.
