From Oar Subscribers.

Philip j. Barton, under date of
February 3rd, says plea Sc
change the address Of my paper
from Middletown, Ill. to 800!
North ST., Normal, Ill, This has
been a very cold winter here
the coldest on record for thirty
years and more snow than usual.
We have had good sleighing now
for three weeks, which is unu-
sual, for we do not often have
much sleighing in this part of the
State. All crops were good, but
the cold weather came a little too
soon for the corn to mature, with
the consequence that there is
much soft corn.
Mrs. Nora Ferrenberg Zorn,
Gibsonburg, o., February 8th. Il
am always glad to get the NEWS
from my old home town. We are
having very cold weather and
much snow. In some places the
drifts are four and five feet in
height, making bob shedding the
popular way of travelling, much

up to this time, has not been en-

Omen That Peace Is Near.

Old residents near Phlladel-
phia are predicting an early
peace, basing their prophecy on
the appearance of a pair Of
American eagles which for sever.
al days have been observed flying
along the Delaware river front
there. According to an old trad.
iton, PAIR of bald headed ca
giles appeared IN the Delawa e
Valley shortly before the close of
the Mexican, Civil and Spanish
American Wars, and were each
time regarded as omens of peace.
Many believe the eagles now
there are birds of great age and
the same that came during form
er wars.

Food Administrator Explains.

For the information of dealers
in, and consumers Of, wheat flour
the Food Administrator for the
County explains the rule gov
erning the sale of flour as follows:
The consumer must purchase
from the wholesaler or retailer of
flour the same number of pounds
of substitutes as of flour, and,
at the same time. The consumer
cannot buy wheat flour under any
conditions, without buying the
same number of pounds of the
substitutes. The retail dealer
must buy in the same proper
tions in which he sells; but, if he
has a supply of substitutes in
stock in excess of the wheat flour
he has. he can buy wheat -four
equal in amount to that excess.
He must first file an affidavit with
the miller or wholesaler, in which
he states the amount of substi-
tutes on hand in excess of his
wheat flour supply. This privi-
lege is not extended to the con-
sumer who buys either from
amiller or a retailer. If the Gov
erment could regulate the pro-
portions in which the consumer
would eat wheat -four and the
bstitutes, then the privilege of
fling the affidavit as to substi-
,Ites in stock could be granted.
The Food Administrator be-
Loves that every patriotic citizen
@ the county who understands
this regulation will comply with
IT, It's a war order, and abso-
lutely necessary if we are to win
,de war. Let US ask ourselves,
the question whether we would
prefer to eat corn, and buckwheat,
in our com Portable homes here in
Fulton County, and thereby save
the wheat so that our English,

FISH-SKIN SHOES COMING?
Quite Possible, Though 1t Must Be Ad. mitted They Are Not Altogether
 Desirable Footwear.

When things come to the worst every day is going to be like Friday the atmosphere will be crowded with the aroma of fish. There is scarcity o1 leather. as everybody knows, and, that being so, tanners are making a diff gent search for other substitutes, and new sources of supply. Experts de- clare that the skins of aquatic crea- lures offer practically undeveloped resource, and it is not unlikely that be- fore long we shall be covering our ex- tremities with the skins of the man. eating shark and the sacred codfish. The reason such skins have not here- tofo1e been utilized for leather is not because they are not perfectly we'll adapted for such use, but only because the skins of land animals have been so plentiful. Disciples of Izaak Wall ton dispute the experts about the cur- ing of fishskins. They say once fish always fish. If it comes to pass that we adopt fish-skin shoes these fish. ermen offer some advice to the callow youth who goes courting. "Leave your fish-skin shoes on the front porch, like the Hollanders and Japs, and court in your stocking feet. Otherwise there will be chilly reception awaiting you" Being married, they are talking by the book.

Junole Can Furnish Food,

While the new food campaign was being talked about at Seattle, Ran. dolph l.. Summerfield of Singapore, who has lived forty years in the Malay States, arrived on government mis- sion. He is civil engineer. "The worlds livestock market has been dec imated," said MT. Summerfield. "but if worst comes to worst and there's a real meat famine, the jungles of the Malay States can supply vast quanti- ties of meats and fats. Our forests are full of monkeys of all kinds. Our streams teem with crocodiles. The huge anaconda snake is numerous and prolific. Monkey meat, cooked French or Spanish style, billed on the menu as veal, would make an epicure yearn for more. There's no disagreeable sen. timent about killing a crocodile or the boa constrictor. Portions of the 'croco's' tail are extraordinarily good, and the boa constructor is a culinary favorite in India. Fried in butter, or certain oils, the boa constructor is con. sidered delicacy."-Argonaut.

OLD GOTHIC BARNS
Great Structures in England Similar to Village Churches.
unapproaehable In Dignity; Beautiful as Cathedrals; No Ostentation of
 the Builders Art.

The great old stone barns of Eng land, dating, many of them, from the fourteenth century. are, comparatively speaking. little known to the general public, says the Christian Science Monitor. The beautiful architecture to be found in the English village churches has received it's full need of appreciation, and so, though possibly in q slightly less degree, have the fine old manor houses which dot the countryside and provide most inter- esting study in the local variations which occur in the generally prevail ing style at any given period. The barns, however, have been rather neg lected, and literature on the subject is practically nonexistent.
 Yet the barn is intimately bound up with the history of the neighborhood in which it stands, and where, for pos sibly nearly 800 years, it has been full. filling practically the same eminently important functions, with little change, for the benefit of the folk in it's neigh. borhood. The methods of the farmer may vary, but the general routine of the countryside goes on, much the same, century after century, and the great barns still stand ready to house the peoples food as they have done, summer and winter, for so many hun- dred years.
 These old Gothic barns are very dignified and very beautiful buildings. comparable in some ways to the vil- lage churches whose contemporaries they are, and if they are less ornate, they are, in their simplicity, hardly less imposing. Indeed, some people would give the balance in favor of the barns in this matter.
 It is by no means always an easy matter to tell the precise date of these barns at first sight, but some times there is little carving, a bit of tracery or f1nial which will supply the clew, or possibly again, the form of buttress may afford an indica. tion; but fortunately there are gener- ally local records to which access may be had containing details of the origin and foundation of the barns.
 Among the famous fourteenth cen- tury barns of England are those as Glastonbury, Wells and Pilton in Som- ersetshire, Great Coxwell in Berkshire and Abbotsbury in Dorsetshire. These are all what may be described as barns of the first magnitude; great cruci- form buildings which may we'll vie in size and dignity with many churches.
 Of the barn at Great Coxwell, Will liam Morris said that 1t was "unap- proacheble in its dignity, as beautiful as cathedral, yet with no ostentation of the builders art" and he always declared that it was one of the finest buildings in England or anywhere else.
