Urges Use OF Perishables

The liberal use of perishable
foods such as milk. eggs, fresh
vegetables, fruit Especially small
fruits, seafoods and other products
not adapted for export is advised
and encouraged by the food admin
istration. Utilization of perishables
during the season of greatest pro-
duction is an important means of
conserving the staples which are
needed to maintain the strength of
the allies. Use perishables in pref
erence to wheat, sugar, fats, and
meat but waste no food of any kind.

War Prisoners Must Work

Included in War Department
regulations regarding the employ
ment of prisoners of war and in
termed enemy aliens are the follow
ing statements:
All classes of prisoners, excepting
commissioned officers and such
others as are physically not fit for
labor, will be required to perform
work necessary for their comfort or
for the upkeep of their prison bar
racks. Interned enemy aliens will
not be held for compulsory labor
except as provided in this para
graph.
Prisoners of war, excepting Off
GERS, warrant, petty, and noncom-
missioned officers, may be required
to work fer the public service
they may be authorized to work on
their own account. Under excep-
tional circumstances, when specially
authorized by the Secretary of
War, they may, upon their written
request, be authorized to work for
private persons or for corporations.
Petty and noncommissioned officers
may be authorized to work on their
own account, and, upon their writ
ten request, may be authorized to
work in the same manner as other
prisoners of war, except that they
will be employed in a supervisory
capacity only.
An order for labor will be re-
garded as military command, and
prisoners failing to obey such order
will be punished accordingly.
When employed on work that is
necessary for their comfort, or for
the upkeep of the prison barracks
in which they are interned, prison
ers will receive no compensation.
When the work is done for the
Government prisoners will be paid
at rate according to the work exc
cuted; when the work is for other
branches of the public service or
for private persons, the conditions
of and the compensation for such
work will be settled in agreement
between representatives of said
branches or persons and The Adju-
tant General of the Army.
The wages of the prisoners shall
60 toward improving the position,
and the balance shall be paid them
on their release, after deducting
the cost of their maintenance.

regular meeting last Tuesday night
officially designated next week as
cleanup week. 1t is to be hoped
that everyone will take an interest
in the matter and get their prem
ises in good shape so that they will
present a neat appearance. The
town will furnish wagons to haul

Wandcher Gulch Road

Another survey will be made of
a proposed change in the Wandcher
gulch road in the Cameron section
before decision is reached by the
county commissioners. The COM
missioners in response to a petition
recently had County Engineer R. A.
Burns make survey and further
petition then followed asking that
the road be constructed according
to the survey. A remonstrance
against the step then followed, and
both petitions were before the board
of county commissioners Monday.
Basing action on the report of the
county engineer. another survey
will be made. The engineers re-
port was as follows:
"On April 18 and 19 survey for
a new road three and one-tenth
miles in length laying between
Southwick and Cameron was made,
using a maximum grade of six per-
cent. This if built would eliminate
practically the same length of road.
consisting of considerable adverse
grade, some of which ranges up to
sixteen percent. 1t would be inn
practicable to try to reduce these
grades perceptibly. owing to the
cost. l believe before this route is
definitely determined upon, an ad-
ditional survey laying to the south
of the present one should be made,
so that distance and various costs
could be compared" /"
The petition asking for the con-
struction on the survey as made
was signed by ninety-six taxpayers
and citizens and asked that public
road on the survey "be established
just as soon as possible, to move
the 1918 crop, as the present road
is in bad condition and cannot be
made good without more costs than
new road would cost, and be
greater percent grade"
The remonstrance, signed by fifty
seven residents and taxpayers, OBJ
jects to the construction on the sur
vey made for the reason that it
will damage and injure large
number of the property owners,
and cut the farms; the prese mt
roads will serve the same purpose
and the same people; that the ex-
penditure necessary for the con-
!. struction of such highway is not
warranted in proportion to the
benefits it would give; that if the
money which is necessary to pay
the damages for the construction Of
the proposed road together with
cost of right-of-way and construc-
tion were expended, on. the present
roads that they would serve all per-
sons in first class condition. -

this side. We go to town once in a
while. Were in last night and got
a few things including this writing
paper and we sure had one hard
time making them understand what
we wanted. We made signs, talk
ed, stammered, muttered, and the
Lord only knows what else, and
then we held council of war and
decided to show a letter and in
that way we got some paper and
envelopes.

with some Of the other boys and we
saw some great sights. We came
overland on the way back and had

LITTLE LESSON IN
WAR ECONOMY
If Every Family in Country Saved
Fifteen Cents a day it Would Mean
One Billion DollarsaYear.

One may get some idea of what the
saving of little things amounts to
in the conduct of this war by taking
out his pencil and figuring what it
would mean if every family in the
United States effected a saving of
only fifteen cents a day. It would
mean saving of one billion dollars
annually.
But mere saving of this would not
amount to so awful much unless those
who saved invested this saving in
Thrift Stamps, Liberty Bonds or War
Savings Stamps.
There are thousands of families in
the state who are practicing real war
economy, but there are sill other thous-
ands who are not sufficiently aroused
to the needs Of the hour and who are
still indulging in the many little lux
uries that can so easily be dispensed
with and the proceeds devoted to war
work, without entailing any hardship
at ALL
"The people of this country must
realize that while the amount may be
small, no saving is too insignificant;
and lots of little savings will amount
to millions in the aggregate.
