The Sacred way.

When Roman heroes returned in tri-
umph from the wars they were march
ed along "the sacred way Market

soldiers returning to Kenosha. They
had dreamed of Inter der Linden
an dhad marched down the boulevards
of France but no rue or Roman road
was ecer half so sacred to them as
Sheridan Road, Wisconsin and Chicago
streets; for, after all even though one
has seen the ftPlace de la Concorde' y
there's no place exactly like home;
and the boys had found that place.
The triumphal procession from the
Northwestern was interrupted at inter
walls by improvised reunions. With no
''hard-boiled sergeants to keep them
in ranks the men fell out = at win to
shake hands with Jack Bow or Bill''
or to shower "mumsey'' and the kid
dies with kisses, while envious little
girls back home" watched and won

The bands, the Nash and SINCE, did
most heroic service. The latter wei
coined the boys back home with the
same vim and vigor that they had
played them away to war and with the
same ffawless renditions of 1On Wis

the boys came home and for a little
while after that; an orchestra Of sirens
and hooking birds blared out a noisy
welcome from the moment the train
reached the city limits until long af

peared into the spacious Railways of
the Elks home.
One Who Did Not Smile.
AT the corner Of Chicago and Wis

KenOshans were gathered to see the
men of the 340th and smile their

Through lane opened by policemen
the returning heroes filed into the Elks

formal reception in their honor. On all
sides they were greeted with miles and

With OVERSEAS caps perched jauntily
ON their heads and camouflaged hem
let's dangling from their belts, the Ke-
nosha rnen Of the 34Oth came back home
shortly after 600 O'Clock on Friday
evening.
Friday or no Friday, it was a red
better day for them. AS they stepped
from the stuffy cars into the purer air
of the lake breeze they looked fat
enough to kill but powerfully glad they
hadn' II been. Their faces were fairly
wreathed in the Smiles that drive
away the tear-drops;" for they had
reached the end Of "the long, long
trail' from No-Man $ Land to the old
home town.
AL Kenosha was at the Northwest
srn station to greet the conquering
heroes. Men and women in motor cars
and babies in perambulators cheered
and cried their welcome while the Nash
and Sinco bands played ttOn Wiscon-
hn,' and "Hail, Hail, the Gangs AL
Here.''
It was noisy but it was nice and the
flushed, half embarrassed faces Of the
soldiers proved conclusively that they
understood and liked it.
Immediately after detrainment the
boys were taken in hand by the We'll
come Home Committee, headed by
Mayor Joachim and George Whyte.
With badges pinned on with Victory
Bond buttons, the members of the com
mittee were conspicuous among the ci-
villains who gathered to greet the sol
diers and easily caught the eyes Of the
happy but bewildered repatries who

Prominent among the throngs at
the station was Angelo Biscardi who
recently returned from service overseas
To be sure, he wears a cross Of war
with three bronze stars on it but he
had buddy in the crowd and he Insist
ed on carrying his luggage down the
street, because he'd had a long trip

Operate In Adjusting The

letter to the Housewives Of America
asked that they cooperate in the ad-
justment OF the present -four situa.
ton
Mr.. Barnes said that within the next
+ two weeks the government viii place
on the market straight -four in small
packages at a nominal cost" This
I -four he asserted, was being sold il
order to get the individual consumer
and our bakers to re-adapt their con
sumption to use the product which is
in ample supply this year"
1 The re-adaptation Of the habits OF
"our flour consumers" is necessary
Mr.. Barnes explained, because of the
/ increase in flour and bread consump-
! tion and "a shrinkage in the croI
( yield of spring sOwn hard wheats by
I $50 900. 600 bushels and a correspond
ing increase in the yield of winter
wheats. He said this made it neces-
sary for a balanced consumption, 2
shifting Of part of the demand from
one kind 10 the other"
I Although -four production has in
creased in this country in five month
over 100000 barrels above last year
all of which has been either eaten OF
stored away, Mr. Barnes declared. our
large crop OF wheat will care" for the
increased consumption.
The new standard -four to be placed
on the market by the government, Mr.
Barnes explained. will be sold at
about rs cents" for one-sixteenth bar

Dor retail price reports indicated. he
said. that for 20 months the average
