Conduct Of War Praised.
Senator Glass said there are
many honest differences of opinion
about domestic policies of the ad-
ministration, and nobody is ask
ing anybody to forego them," adding
that in view of the Presidents
great achievements in the conduct
of the war and foreign relations he
has a right to expect and to receive
unified support.
"As one who has never hesitated
or pulled his punches in his criticism
of the President and his administra-
tlon when I thought they were
wrong" Senator Glass said, II think
I have the right to make confession
that am one of those old-fashioned
Americans who believe that politics
should stop at the waters edge.
Let us have plans for economy,
yes; for efficiency, yes; but let us
have unity. AS Senator Hatch so
eloquently said recently, America
united is America invincible.' Don't
let it be America divided. Let us
concentrate on the war and curtail
its duration-shortenin it even a
day saves lives, blood, tears and
treasure"
Senator Glass made no reference
to the activities of Vice President
Wallace, who has recently de-
livered several speeches in which he
attacked anti New Dealers as
American Fascists. 1t is known,
however, that many Democrats do
not sympathize with these tactics.

Care Would Save
100000 Chicks

Half of the six million chicks that
die annually in Minnesota could be
saved if poultry raisers would fol-
low a few simple precautions, says
County Agent Clyde P. Shumway.
Time for taking these precautions
is at the beginning of the chick sea-
son.
Of first Importance, according to
Cora Cooke, poultry specialist at Uni
versity Farm, is getting good chicks
from tested flocks. Heavy death
losses from pullorum disease, rang
ing from 80 to 80 per cent, may be
avoided by purchasing baby chicks
from pullorum tested flocks.
Chicks should also be secured from
flocks with good egg production rec
ords, she says. Though these chicks
will be more expensive, at present
prices the increase in egg produc-
ton will more than pay for the
slightly increased cost of the official
grade certified chicks. Another tip
to remember when buying chicks,
says Miss Cooke, is to get them all
of the same breed.
To save transportation, chicks
should be purchased as near home
as possible. Miss Cooke stresses the
Importance of ordering at once and
through hatcheries under supervis-
ion of the Minnesota Poultry I'M
provement board. A list of these
hatcheries may be obtained by writ
ing the Poultry Improvement Board,
State Office Building, st. Paul.

Wednesday of next week. Invited
are farmers to whom awards have
been made and who are living in

Food rationing is an inconven-
fence. But so is everything pertain
ing to war. We want to get it over
with as quickly and as effectively
as possible. Farmers have never let
the nation down yet. They will pro-
duce to the utmost of their machine
power Where machine power is
lacking, they will use horsepower
and lacking that, the farmer rolls up
his sleeves and uses muscle power.
There will be food for everybody
although some people may have to
change their food habits. Govern
ment feed wheat has enabled the
farmer to up his production of vital
foods; besides it gives the farmer a
fair margin of profit.
It costs about 81 900 day to feed
the men on U. S. battleship, and
there is little waste, says the supply
officer. A casting of accounts shows
a consumption of seven tons of food
a day on these new battlewagons and
they can hold 90-day supply. In
one month, crew consumes 1900
pounds of beef, 2,054 pounds of bacon
2,052 pounds of ham, 4,500 pounds
of pork, $500 pounds of chicken
5000 pounds of veal, 5000 pounds OF
turkey, 1910 pounds of powdered
milk, 8,241 pounds of evaporated
milk, 36,881 pounds of potatoes, and
35,085 pounds of other vegetables.
Men standing night watches re-
ceive extra lunches of sandwiches
and coffee at their posts. A man or
board can have as much coffee as
he wants and any time he wants it
To fill that order, $685. pounds are
used in one month. Sweetening fol-
the coffee-and for pies, cakes
cereals, requires 1870 pounds OF
sugar per month.

Soldering In China
BY P. L. HAMLIN.

When American soldiers arrived in
the Philippines in 1917, a two weeks
period of quarantine was required
to make sure that no diseases had
been brought from the States which
would contaminate the soldiers al
ready there and start an epidemic.
So the 900 of us who had crossed
on the transport Logan were sepa-
rated into casual detachments of 800
each, some destined, for Shanghai,
some for Vladivostok and some for
Tientsen, China.
During the two weeks in the Phil
ippines, we drilled lightly, as it was
very hot at that season. Some Of
the boys could not take it, and
remember three cases of fainting
on the drill grounds, because of the
heat. The drill sergeants were rea-
sonable and paused often to give us
needed lectures on how to care for
equipment, clothing and our per-
sonal health. Then we boarded the
u. S. Transport Warren for Tientsen.
Someone must have slipped here,
for We had only summer clothing.
We headed due north on a journey
of some 900 miles and each day it
became cooler until we finally called
on all our clothing and blankets to
keep warm. It was cold day when
we arrived at Chengwantoa, the port
of Decentralization and when we
boarded the train for the 80 mile
ride to Tientsen, we did not find
much heating facilities either. We
arrived about 9 o'clock in the eve
ming and were welcomed by the
members of the 18th infantry regi-
ment. They expressed CONSERVATION
at the light clothing we had, and
many of them went down into their
lockers for underwear and wool
clothing which we wore until the
quartermaster supplied us with our
quota of winter clothing which was
much needed in Tientsen.
There were many surprises for us
in Tientsen. The first surprise was
the fine barracks. They were frame
buildings, succeed on the outside,
and plastered walls within. We
learned afterwards that they had
once been used by German soldiers,
but had been taken over, when war
broke out, by the Americans.
Our company was Company l with
| about 100 members. Each man had
steel cot and good mattress, with
| pillow and sheets. The management
was good as we had to keep the
barracks spotlessly clean. 1t seemed
that we were scrubbing and clean
ing continuously. There was a CEN
trail wash room for the regiment with
shower bath equipment and plenty
of hot water.
Another surprise was the good
food but we learned the secret of
that in short order. The govern
ment allowance was, / believe, 42c
per man per day. But company
funds were built up by a process of
"commy shaw" as the Chinese would
say for commissions In the COM
pany barracks was barbershop and
poolroom and as the soldiers spent
their money, a certain commission
was put in the company funds. Like
wise, there were Chinese launderers
and tailors who got all our work
of cleaning clothes, blocking hats,
fixing shoes, ETC., and paid back a
commission to the company funds.
Thus, extra money was obtained and
added to the government allotment

The soybcan has been in the public eye

Our allies knew all about it, however, and
so did our enemies. And while we have been

they have been doing something about 1t.

because they arc used TO sprouts from Mung
beans in which the bean has disappeared
Soybeans are plentiful They have not
reached all distribution outlets because re-
tailers have heretofore had so little demand
for them as a food that they have seen no
reason to stock up. But they are plentiful on
farms in feed stores and in warehouses
throughout the country. And it is the belief
of Governor Dewey and his food experts that
once the American housewife sees the POSSIBLE
ity Of this food of the future and creates the
demand for sovbeans they will be sold every
where and AT a low price.
The sprouts can be grown right at home
with very little trouble Or McCay explains
Here is the way this is done:
start with a half pound of soybcans. Soak
them overnight in water with a pinch Of
chlornated lime in il. The next morning put
them i'm strancr or any vessel that VIII

them moist and covered with a damp cloth

inches long, for they quadruple in size when

Then they are all ready for cooking or
preparing in salad to eat raw.
They should be handled about like fresh
meat, for they are perishable in sprout form
and only a sufficient quantity should be pre-
pared at time for the days needs unless the
refrigerator has quick-freezng facilities i'm
which case the sprouted beans may be kept
indefinitely.
