KAISER'S GIFT TYPTFIES GER

Years ago, to be exact, in 1905,
when the great international yacht
race was held in Europe, the German
Kaiser offered what appeared 70 be
handsome gold vase as a prize to
the winner. He probably thought it
would be won, Tor had it SO ar
ranged) that German would win.
If so, his plans, like some in the war,
miscarried. II was won by an Amer
lean. He had it announced that the
vase was solid gold and cost over
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. The
war came on and things German lost
their extrinsic value. Indeed. were
decidedly out of favor, and the win
ner of the vase offered it TO be sold
for the benefit of the Red Cross. 1t

and Melted the Red Cross s125, 900
and then the purchaser gave it to
the Red Cross to be melted down for
the gold there was in il. When, 10,
ii was just plain, simple, cheap
German pewter, with a veneer of
twenty dollars worth of gold on the
outside.

used several years ago in painting

would be glad to do the decorating

NO CAMOUFLAGED REPUBLI-

The Republicans of Michigan,
speaking through their state chair
man, say that President Wilson's
backing of Henry Ford in the VOL

difference with republican plans.
Those plans look for the nomination
of straight patriotic republican, one
who never was a pacifst-before or
since the war began-one who never
contributed money TO pay for demo-
cratic advertising, one who has voted
more than once in the last twenty
years, and each time voted the Re

GIRLS AND WOMEN TO HAIR.
VEST FRUIT.

More than 1000 girls in Oregon
cities have been interested in light
farm work by far1n-help specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture, and are now being
placed in the fruit districts of the
state to assist in picking berries and
fruit. In some cases these girls and
women receive training in grading
and packing fruit and have shown
that they are more efficient helpers
in this line of work than men. Many
of the growers are providing tents
as quarters for the women.

THE TIDE OF WAR Is TURNING
TO THE ALLIES

For the past two weeks the news
from the seat of war has been de-
cidedly in favor of the allies. The
initial success of the Italians last
week on the Venetian front, in which
the Austrian armies received a Sc
we're drubbing and lost many thous-
ands in killed, wounded and prison
ers, was followed up this week with
success in the mountain districts, in
which the enemy was driven back
with heavy losses. Food shortage,
war WEAKNESS and defeat are having
their effect on the people of the dual
monarchy. All that part of the pop
ulation in what is called Hungary,
except the Magyars, have never been
satisfied with Austrian rule, and may
see in the unrest an opportunity for
an uprising. If the spirit was
famed by the allied governments,
and aided, there is no doubt some
thing would happen there before the
summer is over. Austria has never
had homogeneous, satisfied popula-
ton. The sword and vague promises
Of reform and more liberty has been
potent in holding discomfort and rev.
olution in check, in the past. Hun
ger, broken promises and war re-
verses is almost sure to furnish a
pretext for an uprising.
On the Franch battle line the
looked for German offensive has not
developed, while the troops of the
allies have made innumerable of
fensives on a minor scale. always
with success in territorial gains and
capture of prisoners and war mater
ials, which has marked the fighting
for the past ten days. In various
encounters the American troops have
shown the stuff they are made of
and given the Kaisers troops fore
taste of what they may expect once
two million or more of our boys get
into the fight. By the time this is
read we will have fully million men
in France, and by August first the
number will be q million and half.
By the time the campaign closes in
the fall we will have over two mil
lion, and by the time the. 1919 cam
paign opens we will have well onto
four million TO line up against the
foes of civilization. One very pointed
and significant development is the
control of the air by the allied f1iers.
The German people are getting a
taste of air raids, which are increas-
ing in number and intensity every
week. If the United States had five
thousand airplanes tower there" so
that flock of two hundred might
make a raid on Berlin it would help
to bring peace nearer. A report of
some such raid may be expected any
day. 1t surely is planned and under
consideration. We have a right TO
expect something from our billion
and half invested in airpianes.
The Germans thought subs would
end the war. Our belief is that air
planes may do more than anything
else to bring the Germans to terms.
The immediate future is pregnant
with possibilities.

advantages Of Package Goods.

Extracts from an address by Fl. l..
Smith. at the annual convention of
retail grocers held In Chicago, in
May:
There are four important economic
reasons for packing food products in
small containers for the household. These
four reasons briefly stated are.
1st-The conservation of health through
the sanitary superiority Of package foods.
2nd-The conservation of food by reason
OF increased keeping qualities Of pack
g foods.
Srd-The conservation Of time both in
store and home through greater %conveni-
ence OF package goods.
4th--The conservation of wealth through
the economy Of package foods.
That package foods are superior to
bulk foods from the standpoint Of SANTA
ton cannot be disputed.
Because he does not need to, weigh and
pack them, the grocer Is enabled to
handle a. stock of package goods and
wait on his customers with a minimum
outlay of. time and labor, therefore In
ereasing the ma power OF the country
an important economic achievement. The
grocer handling package goods is able to
carry smaller stocks which are more
easily accessible and require less time to
reach and Observation-Disclosures increasing
the man power.
The use Of package goods does much to
prevent food boarding by the householder.
an object much to be desired in these
times.
Package Goods.
No loss by waste through splitting In
handling package goods. /.
Package Q containers are designed to
protect the contents from spoilage by
moisture n contamination from prox-
unity to other goods during t~ranspoYta-
tion or handling.
Economical because less waste1ul from
kitchen to table. Accurate directions for
cooking and serving package goods are
usually given on the containers so there
will be no loss through cooking larger
amounts than are needed for immediate
consumption.
Substitution by dishonest dealers not
possible when Individual containers under
manufacturers brand go to consumers.
Quality assured to purchaser through
label-of maker on Individual package.
The original flavor and freshness OF
package goods is retained until served,
making them more palatable and health
full than bulk goods.
Can e delivered to consumer without
further wrapping.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-06-27

Modern package machinery used by all
large factories weighs and seals package
FOODS at the minimum cost OF time, labor
and material. One machine with two
operators, for instance, packs, weighs and
seals over 10000 packages Of flour In q
|24-hour day.
The average small carton In which food
IS packed costs less when purchased and
shipped in carloads han paper bags and
irvine purchased by the average store
keeper
Bulk Foods.
A heavy wastage by splitting In weighing
and wrapping bulk goods.
Much loss In handing n ~transporta-
ton of bulk goods by moisture, absorb
ton and through Contamination from
other goods with which they come in
contact.
Through lack of knowledge as to exact
proportion Of bulk goods required IL
preparation for the table, excessive
amounts are often used. The excess ia
often wasted, whether thrown away at
once or warmed and served again in UNI
attractive and unpalatable ways.
Inferior articles may be easily substf-
tuted for staple goods IL sold in bulk in
stead Of packages under makers name
and brand.
Quality unknown to consumer, as bulk
foods are not identified.
Foods In bulk are often unattractive

and flavor.
Each purchase must be separately
weighed. wrapped and tied.
Hand wrapping and weighing results IN
enormous waste OF time Ind labor.At
least 40 people would be required to
pack 10000 packages Of flour by hand in
"a hours and the work would be lone far
less satisfactorily n the weights less
accurate.
Paper bags OF suitable weight and Irvine
OF sufficient strength bought@b the aver
age grocer costs more tha suitable car
tons bought many millions at a time by
food manufacturers.
There are approximately $4,000 grocers
In the United States. It Ii estimated that
from 600 to 75Tc OF the food products
handled are now packed In small pack
ages. Co~nservatively stated, at least ono
additional man woul be required on the
average In each store If bulk foods only
were handled. An army more than half
as large as that raised by our first
selective draft would be required to weigh
and wrap these bulk goods for consumers.
The work Is 0 lone by the aid OF the
packaging machinery by a few thousand

Adopting Engldnds Plan.

Something new for America in the application st power has rs been cen
launched IN Philadelphia. Instead of transporting coalsto the CITY

This experiment is a result Of traffic congestion, but It has every
appearance of being applicable to normal conditions: The economic
possibilities stand out so clear that it is a wonder the idea was lett
to England and war to discover. H
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says of the experiment:
1T vas announced by the local fuel administrator that the project
probably will be financed by the federal government and definite
plans are to be draw at a meeting in this city OF expertsf from New
York, New Jersey nd Pennsylvania #MM 49,

Under the proposed new system the mines near Boone, Ia, could
provide sufficient electric power for all of the principal cities in the
northern part of the state at a cost far below that involved in trans
porting coal to the various localities. On a smaller scale, the city Of
Des, Moines could locate its electric power plant close to the mines in
that section and save huge sums. The vast economies possible are
only touched upon in the cut on transportation. Experts say the
fuel cost will really be a source of profit-that what is now mime

be hauled out Of the way, can be utilized as the fuel for the produc-
ton of all the current needed. @
