SALE OF BREAD IN QUANTITY
LOTS STOPPED

The sale of bread in quantity lots
by bakers and retail merchants has
been forbidden by Charles Hebberd,
food administrator for Washington.
The ruling is effective at once and
applies to bread dealers whether IL
censed or not.
THE food administration for Wash
ington rules that the sale OF bread in
quantity lots-three loaves for 25
cents-is a wasteful practice and en-
courages over consumption and the
leaving OF stale bread on hand in
families" says the instructions sent to
bakers and retailers by Mr.. Herbberd.
You are notified that effective at
once, quantity prices are to be dis
continued. In future you will make
loaf price only"
The distributors have been notified
that they may make the price either
eight or nine cents each, but must not
make the price dependent upon the
number OF loaves sold.

TROUSERS FOR WOMEN

Will women wear trousers? That
grim question has long been holly de-
bated. Since the war trousers have
become realities to those women who
are doing mems work in order that
they may be released for fighting. In
Paris, however, trousers for women
have more than a strictly unitarian use.
The Paris correspondent of Harper
Bazaar writes, in the January issue:
More and more trousers are being
worn indoors instead OF robes that
cling and cling and cling Fashioned
Of the richest OF tissues are these
r-frocks-trousers OF gorgeous
metallic stuffs below jackets OF soft
velvets, trousers Of velvet below coats
rich with embroideries, and exquisilely
filmy mousselines. In the salons oil
Marthe Gauthier in the rue des Capu-
cines, there is a creation OF putty
colored velvet embroidered most deco
ratively with rose and blue thread
the square Chinese coat falling I'M
girdled over embroidered velvet trou'
sers of the straight variety"

From The Food Administration

A sugar ration OF three pounds for
each person a month. porkless day
and one wheatless and two meatless
meals a day will be recommend to
householders in a new kitchen card
soon to be put out by the national food
administration at Washington, D. Z.
The cards will caution against hoard
ing foodstufs in homes, pointing out
that the practice not only is selfish,
but that it contributes to high prices
and defeats the purposes OF the food
administration in seeking an equitable
distribution.
The reverse side OF the card carries
a message to householders.
THE food situation in Europe" it
saws, is far graver than when the
preliminary survey OF the food supply
of the world for this year was made.
We have an abundance for ourselves,
and it is the policy of the food ad-
ministration, by the prevention OF ex
ports, to retain for our people an ample
supply of every essential foodstutf
The harvests of our allies have proved
less than we had contemplated, and
the great curtailment of shipping by
the submarine during the last lew
months has further prevented them
from access to remote markets.
Every particle OF diminished
consumption by the American people
is one particle more for our soldiers
men women and children OF our allies
and for the starving people in other
countries. This is personal obligation
upon every one of US towards some
individual abroad, who will suffer
privation to the extent Of our own
negligence.
IF we are to reduce the consumption
of the few products which we should
export abroad we will need to eat
larger proportion Of many different food
stuffs which we can not export. We
must not waste any foodstuffs. In this
emergency only the simplest OF living
is patriotic"
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-01-04
WOOL CONSERVATION WILL
REVOLUTIONIZE FASHIONS

The recent action OF the United
States Government in regard to con-
serving our wool supply, as wartime
necessity, bids fair to revolutionize
women's fashions. But, according to
Hickson, the eminent New York fash
ion authority, this situation should not
cause any alarm. In the January issue
OF Harper's Bazaar he forecasts the
spring and summer mode, and this is
his CHEEKY message:
THE suits for spring will be more
charming than ever. This may seem
an optimistic statement in the light OF
the absolute necessity required for the
conservation of wool, for has it not
been agreed that but three yards may
be allowed for a suit? When it is con-
sidered we used to cut eight yards in
the most casual manner it is no mean
accomplishment to use but three.
However, the combination Of materials
will be the secret, and I will use satin
or silk lavishly-for example l will
make short jackets OF wool with silk
sleeves, while the skirt will be silk
with a wool tunic. In this way mar
velously lovely costumes can be fash
ioned and a woman need not even fee
yirtuous in carrying out her patriotic
duty, for by so doing she will dress, i
ANYTHING, more charmingly than in the
past years."

bought until the beginning of the
next week and the issuance of a
new card. I understand the cards
have printed on them the name of
the German government, the name
of the beast; the name of the per-
son to whom the card is issued and
number, so that mo man may buy
or sell save he that hath the mark
or the name of the beast or the
number of his name.
No such plan as this has ever
been adopted before by any country
and probably no other country but
efficient Germany would have de-
vised so thorough a system, and it
is certainly remarkable that it
should have been so we'll described
in vision nearly two thousand years
before being put into operation.
Verse 10: "Here is wisdom. Let
MN IlIaI ldlil UNDERSTANDING COulJ
the number of the beast, for it is
the number of a man and his num-
Der is six hundred, three score and
six"
The prophecy then applies not
only to a government but to a man
and the number 666 is especially
connected with that man. Another
reference to an encyclopedia will
show you that the kaiser was born
on January 27, 1859. A chronology
of the present world catastrophe
will show that Austria largely at
Germany's instigation, invaded Ser
bia July 9th, 1914. Do~a little
arithmetic and you will find that
it is 666 months to the very day
from the date of the Kaiser's birth
until the beginning of the great war.
Looking back at verse we are
told that "power was given to him
to continue forty and two months"
Counting from July 27, 1914 we find
that this brings us to January 27,
1918, the Kaiser's next birthday,
when if this prophecy is true and
correct his power will be broken
either by death, political reform or
military defeat.
Watch January 81, 1918.

AVIATION ARMY VANGUARD

American aviation units have moved
up to stations Immediately behind

vanguard OF the new air army, for
which congress voted $640, 900, 900 last
summer, and they are ready for action.
Last spring the aviation corps had
less than 200 airplanes Now $4,000
are being built. When war began
there were rs aviators; 10000 are
being trained The total personnel OF
the old flying corps has multiplied by so

could be turned out whole new in
dustry had to be started This has been
accomplished in FIVE months. When
the aircraft production board started its
work only two companies were manu-
featuring airplanes in America and the
machines they had been making for
the allies were Of type serviceable
only for practice flights.
The first work was to set men to de-
signing a new airplane engine. Twenty
experts working together for a week
evolved the Liberty motor, now the
model of Standardization. Automobile
factories have been provided with the
machinery for turning out Liberty
motors and are hard at work. Raw
material supplies. such as spruce, and
airplane parts. are being sent to the
allies as steadily as before.

Hiqh-erade Naval Gunnery.

No one can foretell the future, but
we are disclosing no secret when we
say that, if our battleship line should
ever range up against the enemy, he
will be treated at the longest ranges to
a storm of fire which, in rapidity, &C.
curacy and the uncanny way In which
1t clings TO its ever-shifting objective,
will be a most uncomfortable surprise
to the enemy, asserts the Scientific
American. For it is fact that the
methods of mounting, fire control, etc,
which have been adopted and perfect
ed in our navy. have raised our target
practice to a point of accuracy, even
at the longest ranges, which has never
been reached in our own, or, prob
ably, in any other navy.

GREATEST ENGINE OF MERCY
B. C. Forbes Tells the Story of the
Red Cross Society
The present age is one Of gigantic

| L ne present age is one OF glganuI
resources, gigantic opportunities, gi
gantic organizations; the efforts OF in
dividuals in every field is united anc
thereby increased in power. One o
the most striking evidences oil thi:
tendency is found in the work OF the
Red Cross, one Of the, great ro'
mances OF modern times. Florence
Nightingale stands out as single vivid
figure, an angel of mercy; but in this
present war, itself an example of the
interdependence OF nations, the angels
are in battalions, and the work OF
mercy handles units, not in terms OF
the individual, but of towns and dis
tricts. Almost the whole country is
modified. by money or by labor, in the
activity of the Red Cross. B. c. Forbes,
in Hearst's Magazine for January,
tells how it was done, in his article en-
titled, The Colossus Of Mercy The
story is one of achievement so great
that it reads like fiction-so great
that it could be nothing less amazing
than truth. He tells how the most
important partner in the firm OF j.. 2.
Morgan thought it over all night, and
than left his business in order to be
Chairman OF the War Council OF the
American Red Gloss. He tells how
the membership was increased in six
months from 500, 900, to 5000. 900, and
how the sum of 800, 100000, at first
considered impossible, was gladly given
by the American people. The inspi-
ration of it strikes home, and you
feel proud to share in this mighty work
of human kindness, even if you could

work OF the society, at first limited to
the soldiers and sailors of the United
States, has been enlarged to include

great tribute from Theodore Roosevelt,
who said: Second only to the army
in the work of winning the war comes

it is very easy for that work to become

GREAT FUTURE FOR MINING

One thing among many others that
the war has done is to give the east
a better understanding as to the needs
and value of the mines of the west.
When the war came on, and with
it a tremendous demand for metals,
the mines at once assumed an i'm
portance they had never held before.
To enable the nation to win the war,
the mines had to produce a liberia
output under most adverse conditions,
and this they accomplished to an ex-
tent beyond criticism.
Many old mines and numerous pros
poets are held idle at the present
time, the owners only awaiting the
advent of more propitiOus times TO
start development operations. Pres
ent governing facts can only mean
hat when better national conditions
ma~terialize there will be a record re-
gival in mining, more substantial than
n boom, and of continued duration.
Jays the Mining and Financial
Record.
All the mining industry needs is
encouragement in the way OF fair
legislation and taxation, and IL prices
must be regulated, let them be high
enough TO assure good returns to the
men risking their capital in develop
ment enterprises and good wages to
The workmen.
In a statement to the senate mines
committee on ore control bill, c. +.
Kelly Of the Anaconda company, said
he bill would "stihe and strangle"
he mining industry and would estab-
'ish control over the entire mineral
ndustry Of the country.
Such measures are not necessary
mder present government regulation
md would discourage rather than en-
courage production, a fatal mistake
at this time.

FORD TRACTOR

Henry Ford is putting out several
thousand "Fordson" farm tractors
throughout the country at factory
cost, according to j. w. Kirkpatrick
who has just returned from Detroit.
where he was appointed distributor
!of the states of Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona.
Mr.. Ford, at the request of the
British government, delivered the
irst 5000 tractors to them at cost,
in order to assist in the agricultural
production of that country, and he
followed this by delivering 1000 to
he Canadian government, at it's re-
Iuest. He offered to do the same in
he United States and his offer was
received by the United States agrI-
cultural department..
The Fordson tractor is a 40 horse
power machine. 1t starts on gasoline,
out operates on kerosene, and Is said
% be most economical.
