OFFICIAL ORDER NO. s

Wholesale dealers or jobbers hand
ling wheat -four are now allowed to
sell rye -four or rye meal as sub
stitute to bakers, inasmuch as the
Food Administrator has allowed bak-
ers to use rye -four or rye meal as o
substitute in bread up to one-ffth of
the substitute requirements. Whole
sale dealers are therefore allowed to
sell to licensed bakers rye -four or rye
meal as a substitute, the responsible
ity Of using such substitutes in bread
being placed on the bakers. Jobbers
may also sell rye flour or rye meal
alone, but 1t can only be sold as a
cover for wheat flour to licensed bak-

Sabotage and The Dog

ionship of his dogs.
Scotland is great sheep-growing
country, yet it loves the dog; gives
him his due in life and reveres him
in death At the Castle in Edinburgh
there is little plot of ground where
the dogs of the Scottish soldiers are
buried; it is charming spot, and on
many little tombstones there are
tender tributes to departed friends.
In front Of st. Giles Cathedral in
tho same noble city, there is mon
ment with little Skye terrier, and
upon it, carved in stone, an inscrip-
ton to "Ribbie," who refused to
leave the church.yard where his mas.
ter was buried and died upon his
grave.
We want more dogs in America
not fewer. They would be Of great
service guarding ammunition plants;
in helping soldiers on guard at aque-
ducts and bridges in ferreting out
suspicious characters; the forest
rangers all over the West would find
them invaluable in densely wooded
country. Farmers, shepherds, cattle
men and ranchers need them; and
the sneaking incendiaries, prisoners
and devastators would find their
work much harder if there were
more watch-dogs on guard.
We must not part with our dogs
One has only to read what dogs have
done and are doing in this war to
realize the extent to which they can
be trained. 1t is said that the Red
Cross dogs can detect life in a
wounded soldier lying out in No
Mans Land when the doctors them
Selves are in doubt, They carry mes
sages through shot and shell; they
bring up food and water to the first
line trenches, and many a brave man
owes his life to the intelligence and
fidelity Of a dog.
In future when we read any OF
these letters from the people" ad
vocating the destruction Of the dogs
lit would be well to find out the
names and addresses of the writer's
and send them to the Secret Service
Department to be investigated. We
have many scores to settle against
the Germans, and not the least N
them is his insidious treacherout
propaganda against the best FRIEND
God has given to man.

(By Isobel Field Of The vigilantes)

by Isobel Field Of The V1gilantes)
Has it occurred to anyone that the
numerous trades against dogs that
have been appearing in the newspa-
pers all over the country in the
shape of letters from the people"
may be of alien enemy origin? Why
should the same arguments against
mans best friend appear in New
York dailies at the same time they
are coming out in the newspapers OF
California, Texas, Oregon and else'
where?
What attracted my attention was
finding the indentical letter In my
home town paper (Morning Press,
Santa Barbara California; that l
had read in the New York Globe. 1t
was signed by different initials but
the wording and arguments were the
same. Dogs eat sheep. We need
mutton. Therefore, all dogs should
be exterminated.
All over the West last summer
there were unusually destructive
forest fires; crops were destroyed,
cattle poisoned, and mysterious
horse disease appeared in many To-
calities Though the evidence has
not been made public, it is common
knowledge that these depredations
were the work of enemy aliens. The
work was done with a system that
suggested German efficiency, and was
no doubt paid for by German money.
That being so, the elimination OF
watch dogs would be Of immense i'm.
portance, and the only conclusion Is
that the whole propaganda is the
work of our enemies. They would
influence us to kill our own dogs for
the convenience Of German agents
who without hese guardians, would
have a freer hand in sabotage.
The argument that dogs cannot be
kept in a sheep-growing country is
refuted by Scotland, where there are
more dogs to the square mile thar
any country in the world. One can
not draw near" Scottish home
without hearing "the watch-dog's
honest bark" In many families each
member has his own dog and nc
child's life is considerd livable with
out one. But he best evidences Of al

FRIENDSHIP
(By Joe Earman)

Hon. E. L. Wartman, member State
Board of Control, from middle South
who resides at Citra, is my
political "disagreer." We used to
scrap considerable and at times per-
sonalities would get on the edges.
The Board of Control is in "politi-
cal parlance" healthy board. 1t is
rot partisan. They disagree at times
but no partisan lineup. Ed Wartman
has just sent me a clipping from some
newspaper that he read and says:
Joe, this is me and YOU" sure ap-
preciate 1t and in these war and un
certain times every father and moth
er will no doubt read, appreciate and
enjoy. Thank you very much. Mr..
Wartman. Here 1t Is:
Once upon time
We were friends
And something happened,
And whatever 1t was
1t doesn't matter.
Except we quarreled.
And | can remember
There were bitter words.
And after that
We went our way
With never a word.
And all the time,
And ever since
Deep down IN my heart
Beneath my pride,
I still counted him
In the role Of friend.
And he had son
And the war came on,
And the boy was grown,
And he heard the call
And answered 1t,
And week ago
From far out west
He came to town
On his way to France
And looked me up
And rang my bell
And told his name.
And he didn't know
That his dad and
We're a couple of fools
And once had quarreled,
And l didn't tell.
But I took him in
And for that night
And another day
He ate with US,
And we went about
And we saw the things
He wanted to see,
And when we were done
I And good-byes came,
He made me promise
That I'd send word
To his dad out west
K That he was we'll
and all was right,

CHEAP WAY TO CONTROL WEEDS

One of the best and cheapest ways
to control weeds on farms is to keep
flock Of sheep. In addition to CON
trolling weeds without cost, sheep
will render profit by PRODUCING nu-
tritious food and wool, and Will assist
materially In meeting demands on the
Nation for meat and wool production
If Weeds are not permitted to grow
and develop leaves they will die, but
it would require a great amount Of
hand labor to keep most weeds under
control by this method. Sheep viii
keep the weeds down and the more
weeds they eat the less will be their
cost of upkecp, and the greater will
be the supply of feed released for
other stock Many rough or pcrma-
nent grass pastures that require now
ing can be kept clean by the use Of
sheep, while at the same time the
cattle-carryinc capacity of the pasture
is increased,

LEARN HOW TO THROW WATER

Water buckets, always filled and
ready in a strategic position, are the
best fire protection farmer can get
for the money, says bulletin on fire
prevention issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
But
DO you know how to throw a
bucketful Of water to put out fire?
A little practice in The art may be
very useful says the bulletin.
The knack of THROWING a broad
sheet of water in scmicircular
sweep is easily learned, and is useful
on a spreading fire on the floor.
Wafer dipped out with the hands
or a dipper or a broom ana sprinkied
on the fire is often more effective than
that thrown on the fire from a dis.
lance. The water should be applied
to the base Of the fire and not up IN
the flames and smoke.

REST ROOMS ron WOMEN
Rural and Town Organizations Co.
operate in Establishing Them in
Mary Marketing Centers

Rest rooms, where farm women feel
free to 80 for rest and refreshment
when they are in town on business,
have been established in marketing
celters in more than 2G0 counties in
the United States. They have been
established by women's rural organiza.
lions in cooperation with other local
organizations, with individuals, with
town or city authorities; by business
corporations operating private city
markets, and by individual! merchants.
A separate from the Yearbook of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture on this subject gives information
on how rest rooms have been estab'
lished in various parts OF the country
and how they have benefited rural
women while they are in town.
TWO main principles underlIe the
successful establishment and mainte-
nance OF rest rooms, says the publ.
cation. Either there must be de-
mand arising from business centers,
or there must be community inter.
est which recognizes their need. Such
| community interest may be aroused
and stimulated by the work OF WON
/ ems clubs, Usually number of farm
women clubs cooperate In the move.
ment and interest civic leagues or
other town ORGANIZATIONS. Frequently
the local county agent has been in
terested and his efforts have helped
the cause. The number of country
women dealing with certain business
houses often warrants the establish
ment Of rest rooms by the proprietors
to meet the needs of their customers.
In financing rest rooms it has been
found that Women's organizations do
not need to raise funds to maintain the
room permanently. They take the
initiative in getting it started and
create sufficient public sentiment to
secure a heated room in a convenient
| public building OF sufficient county

cases, particularly on Saturdays and

noon. Some rest rooms are provided
with firstaid equipment for use in
emergencies, and this has been found
very helpful Libraries add to the

The corporal fell in a faint and

Answering Politely
At one point on this sector there
were only fifteen yards between the
opposing trenches. A day before an
attack the Germans threw a note
into the American trench. 1t read:

reply thrown back by an American
soldier.
The infantryman who related the
incident added
Il guess they know who we are
now and they will not be likely to

one lieutenant in a listening post
with small party of men was cut
of from the remainder of the

to send up rockets to signal an
American barrage, but the rockets
failed to work. A, private then vol
unteered to run back with the mes
sage. He passed through three lines
of barrage fire without being harmed
and delivered the message. The
American gunners laid down a bar

lieutenant and his party from the
hands of a superior force of the
enemy which was headed in their
direction.

Steel Officials Discuss
Appointment of Schwab

steel company officials in Steelton
and in all plants of the Bethlehem
Steel Company throughout the coun-
try are discussing the appointment of
Charles NJ. Schwab, as head of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
The Iron Age this week, comment
ing on the appointment, says:
Plate nails, put to test of their
ability to supply the shipyards, have
shown remarkable outputs, more than
10000 tons of plates having been
turned out in one April week. At this
rate the mills will be caught up on
shipyard deliveries early in May. The
coming of Charles M. Schwab into the
Government service as director gen
eral of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, will mean a further speeding of
effort that is full of promise.
This week most plate mills are
running 100 per cent. on Government
and ally work, save such part of their
product as in ordinary practice can
not meet ship requirements. Great
Britain is getting 5000 tons Of plates
week to apply on the 100000 tons
her yards are to have in return for
British advances of munitions and
other steel to the American Army in
France"

stretcher on the journey from the
front line to the dressing station.
Twice in twenty-four hours an
American company has assisted
French troops in a neighboring sec
tor to regain trenches temporarily
taken by the Germans. The COM
pany was led by a captain who took
his troops over the top in the face
of the most violent machine gun fire
and artillery fire. Each time he sue
ceeded in driving out the enemy and
infiicting heavy damage and then
strengthening the positions.
Fighting to the End
A most pathetic story from the
American lines is that young cor
poral who was wounded fatally aft
er fighting for four hours. A piece of
shrapnel struck him in the head. He
had grenade in each hand. Giving
them to his companion, he said:
Il guess I'm done. Please write
to my mother and tell her how il
happened But here-take these
