At the present time this falls most
heavily on the confectionery and soft

The housewife who has to can her
fruit fares much more literally, and
may be allowed to use as much su-
gar as the requirements demand for
the preserving of fruits and vegete-

facturer of ice cream, as he is con-
sidered to be serving a food.

conditions with due consideration to
the need of our army and allies, and
compare our abundant allotment with

In the use of sugar keep in mind
the need of our army and allies, and
encourage yourself to be more care

Go Hear Cardinals
Near De,uey Lake

Bird and nature lovers will be in
terested in knowing that the woods and
underground in the vicinity Of Dewey
Lake, the residence of the command
ant, and Brady creek. all on the SOL
diers' home ground, have become this
spring the haunt of several pairs of
cardinals. Where in other years there
have been one or two pairs, this spring
several are making love, mating, and
preparing to raise their young.
The male cardinal in his spring
plumage is probably the handsomest
Of our native birds, and cardinals are
by no means common in this locality.
The name describes the male, as his
coat is brilliant, and the crest on his
head is now in full color. His mate is
a drab little woman who wears q
brownish gray dress. She is smaller
than the male, who in size about equals
the wood thrush, but is less plump, has
a longer tail and in proportions is more
nearly like the brown thrasher, COM
monty called the brown thrush, but not
nearly SO large.
During the early morning of bright
days the males are making the woods
resound with their clear sharp whis-
tie and love song. Choosing always
the topmost tip of the highest trees.
they pour out their clear notes. They
are worth hearing and seeing now be-
fore the leaves fill the trees and hide
them.
Those interested, who have not Gone
so already, should read Mrs. Gene
Stratton Porter's look, 1.-THE Song o:
the CARDINAL before going to see the
birds. The book is at the public "
brary, and is both an authoritative
work on the habits of the bird, as well
as an interesting story.

Council Of Defense Stops Ger
man Preaching.

German pastors in Idaho are
advised not to preach their SER
mons in German during the war,
but to preach in English and
thereby prevent embarrassing sit
uations arising. This advice is
contained in a letter written by
Chairman Bryan of the state
council, to the chairman of one
of the county councils before
which the question arose. Two
of the German congregations con-
sented to conduct their services in
English in the future. Two other
pastors have so far failed to do
so. Speaking Of the latter, Chair
man Bryan said: Assuming
that these pastors and their flocks
are loyal American citizens, it is
lregretable that they do not see
not only the reasonableness, but
the necessity in the midst of war
to avoid anything through which
aid and comfort might be given
to the enemy government or
which might be suspected of be-
ing a means of so doing. The
American people are sending their
sons to war against an enemy
/ government, they are giving their
money and making sacrifices to
overthrow the hostile power of
that government, and they are
in no mood to tolerate anything
which is not plain and open, SO
that it may be known that there
is nothing hostile under cover. !"
