DEsTRoYERS
IN SUBMARINE ZONE

Some Indication of the ceasslsss
watch kept on the high seas, in tie
path Of American troopships, by United
States naval, forces operating in ns-
ropean waters, may be gained from sta
tistics just compiled at the naval head
quarters in London. These statistics
show that single force of American
destroyers operating from one base had
steamed almost 100000 miles up to
April l. The maximum distance sov-
cred by single destroyer was more
than $4,000 miles from May l, 1917,
to April l, 1918. This destroyer Eas
one of the first to arrive abroad after
war was declared.
1t has been announced that Vice Ad-
miral William s. Sims, commanding
United States naval forces abroad, Of
fered to send an auxiliary force CON-
posed of naval units to the French
front at the beginning of the German
offensive. The chief of staff of the
French navy and Gen. Foch did not
consider that the circumstances de-
manded the presence of such force
at the front.
The French have had naval dvi-
sion operating in the forces of the Lor-
raine sector for some time, and the
naval units have made their part Of
the line as shippage as possible, with
everything from big naval guns down
to sleeping hammocks and ships cats.
The American soldiers billeted in
England for temporary training or en-
route for France are more and more
compelling the admiration and cooper
alton of the English people. The Ma
tional Sporting club Of London has
started series of weekly entertain
ments for enlisted men of the United
States army and navy.

TONGUE CUT OUT BY HUNS

Auburn, Neb., May 24.-Just before
DR.. Wilkie, a well known physician of
this city, went to war he told relatives
that if he was ever captured by the
Germans he would communicate with
them, and that they must look under
the postage stamp to get the real condi-
tions if harm befell him.
A few days ago the family received
letter from him. written from Ger
man prison camp. 1t was the stereo-
typed message, saying he was well, etc.
Much of it was deleted by the censor.
The letter was laid aside until some
one remembered what the doctor had
said about a message under the stamp.
The stamp was carefully removed.
Under it he had written these words:
'They have cut out my tongue.'

CoI.oRADO's DAY OF PRAYER

Memorial Day, May 80, will be Colo
RADIOS day of prayer. In accordance
with the resolution passed by congress,
Governor Julius G. Gunter has issned
a proclamation fixing Memorial Day .,s
a day of "public humiliation, prayer
and fasting.' In the proclamation the
governor says: 81 do earnestly ex-
hort my fellow citizens of all faiths
and creeds to assemble on that day in
their respective places Of public wor-
ship and there, as well as in their
homes, pray to Almighty God that he
may forgive our shortcomings as pso-
pie and purify our hearts and that He
may guide and direct us as individuals,
state and a nation, through this hour
of grave peril, not only to our stsse
and our nation, but to all the people
of the earth.''

EAT POTATOES CARLOADS

Not freight ear, necessarily, but mo-
'or ear. When you drive into the coun.
try-you who live in potato sections
bring back a sack or two in your car.
Then eat them, many ways, every day,
several times day. Not an idea that
will save the county, but it will help
save the big food reserve that will soon
begin to sprout if it isn't eaten.
Let this fact sink in deep: Unless
We increase our consumption of pota-
toes markedly within the next few
weeks, says the department of agricu-
ture, there will be loss of much wheat
replacing food. If that happens, farm
.ers may think we don't want so many
potatoes and not grow enough this
year. Americans ought not to allow
that sort of food disaster to occur.

DO NOT PERPETUATE TICKS

The presence of deer in regions where

THE COMING TOTAL -.
SOLAR ECLIPSE

On the afternoon of Saturday, June
s, 1918, the wonderful spectacle Of a
total solar eclipse will be visible, wealth
er permitting, over a track extending
from the Pacific Washington to the
Atlantic CFlorida). This track of tho
moon 5 shadow is 20 miles wide at the
western coast, narrowing to 40 miles in
Florida.
For about an hour the moon will
gradually encroach upon the sun g disk,
the daylight will fade, then the mar
rowing crescent Of the sun will sudden
ly disappear, and around the jet-black
ball of the moon, hanging in the north
western sky among the brighter stars,
will be seen the pearly radiance of the
mysterious solar corona. The remarka'
BILE spectacle may be enjoyed for 122
seconds at the western coast, and fol-
half that time in Florida Then the
crescent of the sun will appear on the
other (western) side of the moon, and
after another hour the fuu dlsk OF tne
sun will shine as usual. ..
This event happens at any one place
on the average, only three times in
thousand years.
The gaseous envelopes of the sun can
be advantageously studied by astrono
mers during the brief interval of total
eclipse, and it is then only that the
corona can be observed. 1t is estimated
that there are only about 90 minutes in
a century for the investigation Of this
interesting but still perplexing outer
appendage of the sun. It's shape is moi

tration's New Home Card Now
In 100000 Homes,

Inc women OF America, who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning of the war, are now, as a
whole, familiar with the most impor-
tant aspects of food conservation. The

one meatless day week, in addition
to wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er vigorous campaign in 100000
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance of the Home
Cards requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food administration has had a
great many requests, however, particu-
larry from the homes of the well-to- do.
that 1t should issue worked out plan
Tor voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for voluntary ration
springs from two csuses-first, be-
cause it is far simpler for the house.
wife to save food when she has a con-
crete working plan by which to pro-
ceed, and, second, because the loyal
women Of America desire, unseIfishIy,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad-
ministraticn Is almost the same as
that adopted in England for voluntary
observance. All over the United King

The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, is
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Meat-Beef (fresh, salted, tin
ned and hashed) mutton,
lamb and veal (mutton by

Sugar Uncludlng all sugar

The Items listed shove are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case Of milk and cream, as much
may be used az necessary. and chill
dren, of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
be used as freely as Is desired.
The above ration is in no wise in
tended to supplant the Home Gard,
but rather to supplement it. 1t has

LOO COWS, and like COWS owned in any
other community some are good, others
bad, and the remainder Indifferent.
The herds have represented a similar
variety of breeding, but from now on
all must be good COWS and of the rec
ogniZed breed to be worthy of a place
in the herds on this island.
Some time ago representatives of the
the Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders
association and the College of Agri4
culture held meeting on the island
and initiated Il campaign for the i'm
prOvement of its herds. The farmers
then agreed to use only HOlstein sires
in their nerds, to have all the cattle on
the island regularly tuberculin tested,
and, by means of local COW testing
association, keep q record of prOduc-
ton of each COW in the herds.
This project has already served to
stimulate another on Madeline island
in Lake Superior, which is similarly
situated to Washington island. 1t is
very likely that Madeline island will
become a center for the Guernsey
breed

Like the men who live upon the Is

reputation for healthy and high pro-

WORTH KNOWING

The residents Of Madaline island, off
the northeastern coast Of Bayfield,
county. are planning second Guern-
Sey island. They have agreed to keep
only this breed of dairy cattle, and
this summer have purchased three
more purebred sires for the use of the
dairymen of the island. A petition
has been circulated to have all the
cattle tested for tuberculosis and all
herds freed from disease.
Small investment, low labor costs,
and feed gathered largely from the
garbage pail are reasons why you can
raise poultry and eggs more cheaply
than the big poultry farmer.
If you haven't tried sandwich Of
barley or rye bread and cottage
Cheese, with lettuce leaf and salad
dressing, you don't know how really
easy 1t is to do without wheat and
meat.
A wafer system on the farm may be
used every day in the year. Isn't such a
machine a better investment than one
that you use only week or two dur
ing the year? And it doesn't cost as
much, either.
Legislation plus public opinion is the
most effective combination against the
tramp dog. An unmuzzled dog allowed
to wander where he may is q menace
to the farmers flock and thereby to the
Eownsman's warmth and comfort.
