 We can not print more bulletins because we haven't the money. We are getting 5000 letters daily request ing bulletins but we cannot begin to meet the demand. We printed a small poster to encourage home gardening. We had money enough to buy only 5000 copies. Imagine try ing to cover the United States with 5000 copies! We sent one copy each to the Chambers of Commerce. We are getting letters now asking for thousands of copies of these posters and we can not furnish them The people do not understand why we can not give them this service. They write in and say: .tDo you mean to tell me that we can have only one copy of this poster for our city of 65,- 000!" And we have to reply that we can do nothing about it. We haven t the money.
 That is only an instance. We are also conducting a nationwide cam
 paign to improve all live stock by better breeding. We are cooperating
 with the State agricultural colleges and other agencies in this drive. We
 have promised to furnish them ma
 terial-booklets that tell farmers how
 they can improve their live stock.
 They are demanding these bulletins
 but we can not keep our promise. We
 haven't the money.
 We have eradicated the cattle
 fever tick-a pest that caused a loss of 400O0, 900 to $60, 900 every year-from 509,00O square miles, and
 it is necessary to eradicate it from 220,0 square miles more. We have been using a poster that was very
 effective, displayed in post offices and other public places in tick territory
 But we have been compelled to dis continue the printing of this poster because we haven't the money.
 It is the same all the way along We have results of important in. vestigations but we can not give then to the public because we can not have them printed.

A WARM GREETING FOR
 AN AMERICAN "SUB.''

Admiral Sims in the Worlds Work for May:
 One day one of the American submarines, lying on the surface, saw an American destroyer, and, cheered in their loneliness by the sight of such a friendly vessel. waited for it to approach, making all the Identification signals so care fully set down in the books. In- stead of a cordial greeting, however, about twenty rounds of projectiles began falling about the L Boat, which as hastily as possible dropped to sixty feet under the surface. In few minutes depth charges began exploding around him in profusion, the plates of the vessel shook violently, the lights went out and the end seemed near. Making a last effort, the American submarine rose to the surface, sent up all the recognition signals the officers could think of, and this time with success The destroyer approached the com mander shouting from the bridge:
 s'Who are you?''
 American Submarine A Lilo.
 'tGood- luck, old man," came a now familiar voice from the bridge. ''This is Bill.''
 The commander of the destroyer and the commander of the sub marine had been room mates al AnnapoIiSi

A CONSUMERS STRIKE.

While politicians are stewing and shouting about high prices and &C., complaining but little, a bunch of $50 stenographers at Detroit have had the sense to size up things as they are: They have agreed not to pay more than the following prices for cloth ing:-
 Hats, s1o; suits. $50; shoes, $1o; coats, $50; dresses, $35; hose, $2.50; gloves, e$2.
 When the people go on strike against the high prices, the prices will come down in some way. Producers will not keep on making goods at prices that will not sell. The people can break the high prices by economy and refusal to be soaked. The stores here are doing their best to bring prices to a more normal level, and will cooperate in every way they can.

Roy American: Prof Trumbull,
agronomist for the L. P. & S. w.
railway, was here this week with
Professor Foster, and has made a
very thorough canvass of the wheat
fields of the mesa. He finds the
damage from hail not as general as
was at first feared, but estimates
the loss at $4,000 bushels. He fig
ures the loss at between one eighth
and one-tenth of the entire crop on
the mesa, and believes there are
not over / 900 acres of wheat that
will pay to cut.
More than fifty header crews
are at work now and half a dozen
header threshers will start Mon
day They put the wheat from the
field into the bin for from 81 to So
per Acre and pay expert wages.

their principal attention to making high priced
goods but must specialize more stuff that can
be sold at moderate figures. Also they must expect
to cut down the profit margin if they want their
goods to move.
A manufacturer jobber always takes liberal
view of the profit he ought to make In the times
when the public is buying eagerly, it is natural
thing to put the top price he thinks he should
have,
But rather than quit do small business he
would accept considerably less sum. SO when
the public holds off, he comes down nearer to the
real margin of what used to be considered a fair
profit The public can hold him there by contnu-
ing its policy of cautious and economical buying.

JUST now" TO BAKE BREAD.

Every now and then Il bride will
write to ask me lust how" to bake
bread, requesting me to assume
that they don't know the very

Milk and water bread made with

the necessary ingredients: Three

lard Cor butter or beef drippings),
| | tablespoon salt. ! tablespoon su-
gar, and | compressed yeast cake.
This recipe makes either three very
| high loaves or four loaves not quite
as bulky in proportion,
Tuesday and Friday are the ac-
cepted days on which to buy a
yeast cake, inasmuCh as Wednesday
and Saturday are baking days
and the bread must be set" the
night before. Keep the yeast cake
on the ice or in "A bowl sunk in
cold water. and at about s o'clock
in the evening begin to set your
