PLAN TO TEACH IN GROUPS Scores of Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and Other University Men File Applications With Aero Club of America Main Recruiting Station. Guard Will Assist Destroyers. New York.—A syndicate of New York millionaires, headed by H. P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co. and Lewis S. Thompson, has notified the United States navy department that it is ready to acquire the site and bear the entire expense of a camp to be established somewhere on Long Island for training in groups of 100 each college men as aviators to aid the navy in coast defense and for any other branch of the service desired. Rear Admiral Peary, head of the national aerial coast patrol commission, is acting advisor, and several conferences with navy department officials have been had. Mr. Davison and his wife gave the enthusiastic support which brought Photo by American Press Association. H. P. DAVISON. about the organization of the Yale aerial unit last summer, and their two sons, F, Trubee Davison and H. P. Davison, Jr., are now expert filers, training with the Yale unit at West Palm Beach, Fla., which camp is financed by Mr. Davison, Sr. The men there are under full military discipline. Henry Woodhouse of the Aero Club of America recently gave them an airplane gun and 2,000 rounds of ammunition, in the use of which the young aviators will receive instruction from naval officers. The personnel of the Florida camp has been increased since the arrival of the Yale unit. Besides the Davison boys and Robert A. Loveff, son of Judge Robert Lovett, president of the Union Pacific railroad, the members are all of wealthy and socially prominent families. Scores of Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and other university men are filing applications with the Aero Club of America, the main recruiting station. The duties of the aerial coast guard will be to locate and assist destroyers, trawlers and submarine chasers, to locate and assist trawlers in destroying submerged mines, searching the coast for submarine bases, convoy troop and merchant ships on coastwise trips, to patrol the coasts, holding up and inspecting doubtful ships and convoying them to examining stations, attacking hostile ships and submarines with torpedoes, bombs and guns; protecting ships at sea and in port from attacks of submarines and battleships, communicating to incoming ships information regarding the location of mines, submarines and the courses to follow to avoid mistakes, confusion and accident; serving as the "eyes" of mine planters, minimizing the time required for mine planting, and defending and protecting naval bases from naval and aerial attacks. PURPLE CARNATIONS NOW. Jersey Professor Produces One and Values Cuttings at $100 Each. Trenton, N. J.-Governor Edge received from the State Agricultural college the first purple carnation ever originated. It was produced by Professor M. A. Blake by artificial hybridization, and a cutting is valued at $100. It was brought to the executive offices by Dr J. G. Lipman, director of the experiment station. Purple is the color of the Northwestern University of Illinois, and that institution asked for a cutting, but the experiment station has decided first to accumulate enough stock to be distributed free to the florists of New Jersey FINDS BULLET IN PILLOW ON HIS RETURN HOME Newark, N. J. — When John Burkhardt and his wife returned to their home the other night they found a bullet hole through the center of the pillow on which Burkhardt sleeps. Some one had evidently fired through the window in the darkness, and Burkhardt is thanking his lucky stars that he was not at home. SUGGESTS WAR HONORS FOR ARMY OF FARMERS Recruit All Unfit For War Work For Service in the Fields. New York—Joseph Hartigan, commissioner of weights and measures, has laid before the council of national defense a plan to remedy the shortage of agricultural labor by the mobilization and training by the government of an agricultural army. The scheme provides for enlisting ablebodied men unfit for the army and navy on account of minor defects, such as weak vision, deafness, tooth trouble, and so on, and also of conscientious objectors. "In view of the present food situation and the need for more food in future," said the commissioner, "the farmer must have help in increasing his crops. American agriculture has suffered from the drift of farm labor to mutilation factories, and when the nation begins to raise an army there will be further subtraction from farm labor through enlistments, while the consumption of food certainly will not decrease. "Under the circumstances it seems we ought to honor the man behind the plow as well as the man behind the gun. Each is serving the nation. Such an army might easily number several hundred thousand. It would be regularly organized and officered, and its men would wear uniforms, marking them distinctly as engaged in the service of the United States. After brief training they could be distributed in regiments or companies where needed, according to crop seasons. These men would be paid by the government, just as soldiers are paid, and they might well receive the advantages after honorable discharge that are given in some places by law to ex-soldiers. Farmers who receive this aid from the government could pay the wage rate current in their neighborhoods." ALL PRIVATE WIRELESS PLANTS DISMANTLED Report of Sea Raider Off Coast Moves Government to Speedy Action. New York.—Immediately on the declaration of war against Germany the police began executing the order that all private wireless stations throughout the city be dismantled. The federal authorities have instructed them that every apparatus of this character must come down, even those having permits from the department of commerce. Apparatus not removed by the owner will be dismantled by a police wrecking crew. It is estimated there are 1,500 wireless receiving stations in Greater New York, most of which have been encouraged by the government because student wireless operators must have plants in which to practice. One thing that moved the government to take prompt steps against the wireless was the report of a sea raider off the coast. Particular attention is being paid to automobiles driving along the south shore of Long Island, because there is reason to believe that many times during the war radio connection has been established between German spies in this city and sea rovers. Apparatus powerful enough to throw waves 1,000 miles can be carried in the tonneau of a motorcar. Secret service agents have picked up messages supposedly sent in this way. DISCUSS SHRAPNEL HELMETS Great Quantities Can Be Turned Out In Single月度 if Needed. Washington.—Officials of the war department declared that, while the army was not yet provided with the shrapnel helmets found so indispensable in European military operations of the last two years, the department had already approved patterns for their manufacture and that great quantities could be turned out within a single month in the event they were needed. The war department has also accepted patterns for poison gas helmets and trench guns, adequate supplies of which also may be obtained on short notice, it is said. The army has no plans at present for the provision of liquid fire, which the Germans introduced and which the allies have since found so useful in trench operations, but it is started that this, too, could be secured in this country in case its use became imperative. The pattern of shrapnel helmet accepted by the war department is described as unusually heavy, weighing between three and four pounds. It will not be worn except in active field operations. CAT FLOATS ON KEG She Went Through a Gale at Sea and Was Rescued. Redondo Beach, Cal.-Carl Hansen and George Fitch returned from a fishing trip the other day bringing with them a large black cat which they found riding an empty keg five miles out at sea. The cat was famished and had undoubtedly weathered a fierce storm when the wind blew at a rate of fifty miles an hour, but had tenaciously clung to the keg. On a brass plate attached to a leather collar around the animal's neck was the word "Utanica," presumably the name of the boat upon which the cat was a mascot. Minnesota Historical Society THE ST. PAUL AND M THE APPEAL MOBILIZING THE NATION'S BUY-AT-HOME PROMOTERS James Eaton Tower, Domestic Science Expert, Analyzes Mail Order Advertising and the Magazine Move Against It. At the very lowest estimate the retail trade of the United States amounts to $10,000,000,000 a year. This trade is shared roughly by two groups of distributors. On the one hand we have the large department stores of the big cities of 100,000 or over and the big mail order houses, located in but two or three of the very largest cities. On the other hand, we have the wholesalers and jobbers, the retail stores of the smaller cities and towns, and the general stores in the sparsely populated regions. With this group we must place the trade papers and house organs, representing the interests of manufacturers and jobbers, and the great national magazines of general circulation, whose interests also lie on the side of distributors of branded and advertisable products. The annual retail business of this country is $10,000,000,000 a year. But it is the country and small town merchant rather than the city retailer who suffers most from mail order competition. The New York Times Analyst of March 3, 1913, estimated the number of country stores at 500,000, with a total business amounting to $2,500,000,000. It will therefore be seen that the mail order business, competing mostly with this class and amounting to $500,000,000 a year, amounts to 20 per cent of the total rural trade of the country. The fight between the retail merchant and the mail order man is historic. For years local merchants' associations, boards of trade and similar bodies have been striving to promote the "buy at home" idea. But if the recent startling news which comes from New York means anything it means that these hundreds of thousands of "buy at home" boosters, scattered throughout the land, have won a new and powerful champion, whose co-operation means leadership, force and direction for the "buy at home" movement everywhere. The Butterick company of New York, with an output of 150,000,000 periodicals a year, has definitely allied itself with the local merchant as against the mail order man. From one printing plant there go to the women of the United States every month no less than 1,500,000 magazines. Among these are the Dellaneator, the Designer and the Woman's Magazine. At one fell swoop, beginning with their April issues, these magazines banished from their columns all mail order advertising. The sacrifice in revenue, it is understood, amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The verdict as to whether for them this was a piece of "good business" or merely a costly concession to sentiment rests with the nation's retail merchants. Without wishing to pose as a prophet, it is my personal belief that this step on the part of these magazines is so significant, so vital to the retail merchants of America, that they will inevitably fall in line behind these leaders of the host and accord them such substantial and sustained support as to prove their recent stand to have been not only a courageous innovation, but a piece of "good business." Local Grocery Cheaper Than M. O. The Dry Goods Reporter, published in Chicago, calls attention to a Wisconsin grocery store that advertised in the local newspapers a list of seventy-three articles, giving mail order house prices and its own. In every case the store was as low or lower than the mail order house. The grocer made an offer of a saving of 25 per cent over the mail order price to any customer who would place a twenty-five dollar order with him. Saves $3 Buying at Home. Professor Paul H. Nystrom placed an order with a local merchant in Madison, Wis., amounting to nearly $80, in the provision line. The total cost to him amounted to $3 less than mall order house prices before considering the freight at all. The total saving, including the freight charges, amounted to not less than $6.50 on a $50 purchase. 82 Per Cent Profit For M. O. House. The largest mail order house in Chicago sells for $1.21 a fountain pen which can be obtained from the manufacturers in New York for $96 per gross, or 66 2-3 cents each. At this cost the pens net the house $2 per cent profit. The usual profit on fountain pens sold directly to retailers by manufacturers is 66 2-3 per cent on the cost. Stores Beat Mail Order Prices. In the course of a comparative investigation of mail order houses and retail stores O. A. Charles, president of the National Home Trade league, Munice, Ind., purchased more than 1,200 articles from mail order houses and in each case proved that he could have bought them as cheaply or for less in his local stores. APP NNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATU REPAIR RECRUIT'S TEETH. Twenty Thousand Members of Dentists' Preparedness League Offer Services. Washington.—Bad teeth need deter one from offering his services to the United States either as soldier or sailor. The Preparedness League of American Dentists, with a membership of 20,000 throughout the United States, has organized and is ready to repair defective teeth for any prospective recruit without charge, so that not a man need be lost to the country on this account. The New York unit of the league has offered its services to General Leonard Wood, who has accepted the offer. The faculty of the New York College of Dentistry and the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery, the clinics of Bellevue and allied hospitals, Orthopedic hospital and the health department dental clinics have been placed at the disposal of the league. The equipment comprises nearly 300 chairs, and a body of representative men have volunteered to keep this equipment in operation. It is expected that dental supply concerns will aid the patriotic work with free contributions of materials. Virtually every dental college in the country will cooperate in the movement. CRIPPLED HERO ON RECORD. Arm Gone, He Has Woman Sign Declaration Backing Training Plan. New York.—More than fifty years ago William Neary gave the best years of his life to his country. Recently he paused on Broadway to listen to a young woman who was urging the crowd about her to sign a declaration in support of universal military service. William Neary pushed through the crowd. "I'd like to sign that paper, young woman," he said, "but, you see. I can't." He pointed to the sleeve that dangled where his right arm used to bulge and drew a postal card from his pocket. "There's my name," he said. "It's a call to the meeting of my Grand Army post. You see they call me 'comrade.'" Comrade Neary watched carefully while the young woman transcribed his name and address. His left hand rose to his hat brim in salute. "Young woman," he said, "there should be more like you. The country needs them." HAWK BREAKS WINDOW GLASS Famishing Bird Attempts to Feast on Parrot. Green Bay, Wis.-Polly, a parrot, the companion of Mrs. William Anderson, was preening herself in the sunshine at the window of the front room when a hawk, swooping down, crashed through the window glass. Before the bleeding bird of prey could reach the parrot with its talons Polly soared out through the same hole and perched in an apple tree. Polly set up a frightened chatter that brought her mistress, who couldn't imagine how she got out of the room. Mrs. Anderson hurried out and to the window, where she saw the havc and the great hawk flopping about the floor, sprinkling blood all over her erstwhile immaculate parlor. When Mrs. Anderson and a neighbor had pinned it down and chopped off its head they found it three feet five inches from tip to tip. The bird was thin and seemed nearly starved, probably, they thought, because of the deep snow. WARNS OF FOOD SHORTAGE. Armour Favors Government Control of Production and Price. Chicago.—If immediate and radical steps are not taken to increase and conserve the food supply in the United States," said J. Ogden Armour, "this country will find itself next fall and winter in bad a state so far as food is concerned as any of the warring nations of Europe. "Our first duty, as I see it, is to make certain that both our own people and our allies have an abundant food supply. I favor government supervision and control of food production and food prices. "Let the government, for instance, fix the wholesale price of all meat products. Let the government guarantee to the farmer a minimum price of $1.50 a bushel for all the wheat he can raise." HIS LAST JUDGE A TRAIN. Man Acquitted of Railway Murder Is Killed on Same Road. High Bridge, N. J. -Over a year age John Wesley Beam was acquitted of a charge of murdering William Beam (not a relative of John's) by pushing him under a railroad train on New Year's eve, 1915. The case was tried before Justice Parker of the supreme court and Judge Salmon of the Morris county court. Recently John was killed by a train on the same railroad. He had fallen asleep on the High Bridge branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. His body was taken to his parents' home at Bunnville. WILL NOT MINGLE RACES. War Department to Train Whites and Blacks Separately. Washington—It was learned authoritatively at the war department that nego and white troops will not be camped and trained together and that the department does not contemplate any action which would smack of offending the south. The problem has been solved in the past, and a solution will be found during the present war, it was said. Defective Page MAIL ORDER EVIL; MAGAZINE MOVES TO REMEDY IT Former Professor of University of Wisconsin Outlines Extraordinary Growth of Industry Which Must Be Curbed. The fight between the retail selling of goods by local merchants and retail selling centralized in the hands of a few powerful corporations is an old one. But until now there has been no practical co-operation between the magazines and the million or more retail merchants of the country. The recent decision of the Dellineator, the Designer and the Woman's Magazine to exclude all mail order advertising from their columns is important in that it brings to the thousands of scattered communities now conducting the fight a unifying force of nation wide scope and influence. If it can achieve recognition and co-operation at the hands of retail merchants it is perfectly evident they in turn will profit, substantially under the new national leadership. Paul H. Nystrom, farmer professor of political economy in the universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota, speaking of the growth of the mail order industry, which has grown to be a menace to local merchants, says: "One chief cause of the recent rapid progress of the mail order business is the tremendous increase in circulation of popular periodical literature loaded with advertising, particularly the national women's magazines. Both reading matter and advertising have shown the way to greater variety in consumption." The magazines which have changed their policy so as to exclude all mail order advertising have a circulation of over 1,500,000 a month among the better class of families in the United States. This in itself removes the menace of mail order competition from the reading matter of about one out of every merchandise buying families in each community. Undoubtedly this will be a powerful if not the determining factor in the success of many a "buy at home" movement in territory that is now debatable. THE WAIL OF A MALE WHO BOUGHT BY MAIL Ma was reading out loud from her magazine. When she says to me, "The best I've seen for all the things that must be had Is this here low price mall house ad. "Here's Cross Grained Gained mall" "Gainst 10 they're charging at the store. And if all the rest that's advertised Is just the cheap I don't be spired Tall a 4 inches high on the underwear. My wife, she ordered two petticoats. A new false puff and some Cross Grained oats; A Noah's baby for baby's toy; A pack of boots for Bub, the toy; Stockings for Nell, a waist for Lizzie; Just writing that order kept me busy. Well, we shot the order into the mall—Twas all of a thirty dollar sale; Twas all of the ducks was enough To fetch us on the railroad. They got my coin, but not a peep Did I hear from the firm of Grab & Keep. Twas all of two weeks--maybe three Before them goods arrived for me. And drove three miles to the railroad car. I found a whacking big box there. Some smashed up, but I didn't care. (When you've honed for prunes until it And your back is cold for lack of shirts. When the goods in front of you's labeled "Must." You grab 'em-if the box is bust!) So I heavened the wreckage into the cart. And headed for home, feeling pretty smart. My goods had come from a town that's real, And I'd saved four dollars on the deal! We soon got home and opened the case And looked at our purchases, face to face Well, sir, 'twas an eye opener, you can bet. The prunes seemed good, and the baby's toy. Before broke he he had one day's joy! My life's puffs were some horsehair stuff. And her petticoats wa'n't half large enough. The stockings for Nell looked thin and the waist was ruined by a rusty nail. The lamp was as lurid as a three weeks And held 'bout a teacup full of oil. The boots for Bub cost the same, no more. Than Hoskins asks at the village store. But the rocking chair, "built of solid oak," was the funniest part of this wholesale Wasa. Oh, 'twas just like the picture, rod and rung. But the size of the thing's where we got stung. Ma tried it and found 'twas a false alarm. "That 'a" too narrow from arm to arm Nell had more luck; she wedgeged right im- but we pried her out with the rolling pin! Then I set right down and figured the sale That 'a" had made through the U. B. mail. I fingered an hour, and then some more. And sound we had nothing on the village I'd sent thirty dollars to Chicago, ill. And saved ten cents on the total bill Then I seen at once 'twas one nine cent Had taken our dollars and made us goats! So I swore by all that was holy and pure I swore by all that was holy and pure I stopped ma's magazine on the spot. Will I take it again? I reckon not; Least it not till they put a ban on that "come on" stuff of the mall house man! In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. WILSON AT SIXTY YEARS LOOKS TO BE ONLY FORTY President In Fine Trim to Handle Tremendous War Problems. Washington.—Facing the worries and tremendous responsibilities of a war the end of which cannot be foreseen. President Wilson at the age of sixty years is in perfect physical trim. He looks and acts about forty. Many things contribute to the president's fine physical condition. He is a stanch believer in outdoor exercises—plenty of air. He takes both regularly and in time of stress defies the weather to keep him from the golf links or a long walk with Mrs. Wilson. "Relieve the mind by exposing it to the sunshine," appears to be the president's creed. Whenever there has been a crisis it is the president's custom to attend a theater, and he plays golf usually after his decision has been made. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the president's private physician, has played a prominent part in keeping him strong and well. Whenever a danger signal is flashed along the president's system Grayson "catches" it. On those occasions the president is sent to bed to rest. The president and Grayson may always be seen together when an international snarl is being dealt with. They may either play golf together or ride about the Washington drives swapping stories. By holding to simple rules of living the president finds himself—a war president—physically and mentally fit to cope with the big problems ahead. ARMY AND NAVY TAKE FINGER PRINTS OF MEN Hope by This Means to Identify Recruits In Case of Death or Illness. Washington.—Because of the war situation and the general unrest the police are anxious to keep a watch on criminals and take into custody such as are at large. Crooks have often been able to slip through the hands of small town police forces which lacked a finger print system. The army and navy are now taking finger prints of all men who enlist so that in case of death or illness the victim may be identified. The police department at one time aided the government in this work, but today the army and navy have their own print system. "Any one," Inspector Faurot of New York said, "after a little instruction and practice can take a person's finger impressions successfully. To learn how to classify them, however, is a different matter. It requires a knowledge of finger prints. Our department has reached such efficiency that in four minutes we can take a prisoner's impressions, make a research for his former impressions and place his typewritten record before you." Inspector Faurot told of a prisoner who was brought to headquarters. When his assistants looked up the prisoner's record they discovered his prints had been sent from Belgium, where he was wanted in an $80,000 embeblement. Finger impressions of a man arrested in Sydney, Australia, for the shooting of a policeman there were sent here. His impressions revealed that he was wanted for murder in Boston. Many employers of labor today have finger prints taken of their employees for identification. Laborers who work in ditch gangs wander from one place to another so that their identities frequently become lost. PANAMA TO DEFEND CANAL German Residents Will Be Interested if Involved in Plots. Panama.—The president of the republic of Panama, Dr. Ramon Valdez, signed a proclamation committing Panama unreservedly to the assistance of the United States in defense of the canal. The president also canceled the exequaturs of all the German consuls in Panama. The proclamation declares: "Our indisputable duty in this tremendous hour of history is of a common ally, whose interests and existence as well are linked indissolubly with the United States. "I therefore declare that the Panaman nation will lend emphatic co-operation to the United States against enemies who execute or attempt to execute hostile acts against the territory of the canal or in any manner affect or tend to affect the common interests." It is announced that Germans resident in Panama will be interred if they give any evidence of being involved in plots. * AN AUTOGRAPHED EGG * GETS HOME TO ROOST Pittsburgh.-His name and the date, "July 15, 1916," written on an egg, shocked Lawrence Kendall of Mansfield, O., when he emptied a case of "strictly fresh" at a hotel here.

FARMS ON LINKS Golfers Will Raise Food Products For Country. F. U. ADAMS ORIGINATES PLAN Idea of Well Known Author Has Been Enthusiastically Recived — Adopt Motto "We Are Not Too Proud to Hoe"—Expect to Realize Several Million Dollars. New York.—The golf players of the United States will turn farmers and raise on their links huge crops of potatoes and other food products for the use of the United States and its allies. Such is the movement set on foot by the Dunwoood Country club at a special meeting held in its Yonkers clubhouse. The plan originated with Frederick Upham Adams, author and golfer. The plan of operation is simple and is declared to be practical. Dunwoood, FREDERICK UPHAM ADAMS. in common with all golf courses, has several acres of tilable soil not used for golfing purposes. The club has set this aside for cultivation. More than a hundred of the members have already volunteered to do the work of cultivation, and it is predicted that this volunteer farming corps will soon number fully 250 golfers who will try to prove themselves as efficient with a hoe as with a niblick. These volunteers sign the following pledge: "The Dunwoodie Country club has the honor of taking the initiative in a national campaign on the part of golf clubs to aid in winning the war now declared. We propose to set aside for cultivation all of our land not absolutely needed for golf purposes. We propose that our members shall cultivate this land; that the club shall purchase its product at a fair market value and that members shall do the same, and that the total cash proceeds shall be devoted to the purchase of ambulance trucks and other necessaries required in the successful prosecution of war. "The undersigned members of the Dunwoodie Country club now volunteer their services in the Dunwoodie volunteer garden corps and pledge themselves to work in these gardens for an average of two hours a week for the twenty weeks which constitute the season. We also agree to pay $1 as initiation fee and further pledge ourselves to obey the rules which will be adopted to govern the execution of this patriotic duty." Two hours a week for twenty weeks makes forty hours' work for each member, which means that a volunteer corps of 250 members would perform 10,000 hours of farming labor. This now has a market value of not less than 80 cents an hour, an item of $3,000, and the Dunwoodie farming experts predict that the muscle of their golfers will create a product which will sell for not less than $4,000, of which the club will be chief patron. Mr. Adams, President Austin L. Babcock of the Dunwooodie Country club and other originators of this movement point to the fact that there are fully a thousand golf clubs in the United States and predict that several millions of dollars will accrue for war purposes from this campaign. "The Dunwoodie plan" has the hearty support of Howard F. Whitney, secretary of the United States Golf association. The Dunwooodie Country club will at once prepare a pamphlet containing the details of "the Dunwoodie plan" and will mall it to all of the golf clubs in the United States. The motto adopted is "We are not too proud to hoe," and the popular anthem for golfers this year will be "Way down yonder in the cornfield." GYPSIES RIDE IN AUTOS. Caravan de Luxe Attracts Much Attention at Briarcliff Manor. Briarcliff Manor, N. Y.—A band of about twenty gypsies, traveling de luxe from Boston to San Francisco, camped here. Three new high powered automobiles are used to carry the gypsies, and three smaller cars carry their goods. The men are plentifully supplied with money. The caravan attracted much attention as they passed through the village and pitched their camp in a small clump of woods at the foot of the hills. YEek'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

Potatoes are not now the "poorman's food," says R. W. That chief of the division of agricultural biochemistry, University Farm. Potatoes contain, on the average, 78 per cent of water and 22 per cent of acidal food material. A bushel of potatoes, therefore, contains only a little over 13 pounds of actual food substance. At the present retail price of potatoes, $3.20 a bushel, each pound of food which they contain costs over 24 cents. A pound of rice which contains 88 per cent of food and 12 per cent of water costs $8½ cents, so that one pound of food almost exactly like that in potatoes can be bought as rice for a little less than 10 cents. A ten cent of bread contains about 12 ounces of water and 12 ounces of food; hence a pound of food a bread which is a much better balanced food which either rice or potatoes, can be bought for $12½ cents. Wheat flour furnishes a pound of food at a cost of 6 cents. At present prices, potatoes are four times as costly as wheat flour, twice as expensive as baker's bread, and two and a half times as expensive as rice, the food which most closely resembles them in the character of food furnished. People can well afford to stop eating potatoes altogether until the price falls to less than half what it is at present. YOU Doubtless noticed a one-cent postage stamp on your paper.

Potatoes are not_now the “poor man’s food,” says R. W. Thatcher, chief of the division of agricultural biochemistry, University Farm. Po- tatoes contain, on the average, 78 per cent. of water and 22 per cent of ac‘afal food material. A bushel of po- tatoes, therefore, contains only a little over i8 pounds’ of actual food sub- jstance. At the present retail price of Potatoes, $3.20 a bushel, each pound of food which they contain costs over 24 cents. A pound of rice which. con- tains 88 per cent of food and 12 per cent of water costs 8% cents, so that one pound of food almost exactly like that in potatoes can be bought as rice for a little less than 10 cents. A ten- cent loaf of bread contains about 12 ounces of food and 6 ounces of water; hence a pound of food as bread, which is a much better balanced food than either rice or potatoes, can be bought for 12% cents. Wheat flour furnishes & pound of food at a cost of 6 cents, At present prices, potatoes are four times as costly as, wheat flour, twice as expensive as baker’s bread, and two and a half times as expensive as ice, the food which most closely re- sembles them in the character of food furnished. People can well afford to stop eating potatoes altogether until the price falls to less than halt what it is at present. , = Thann’s Buffet oN 322 EastThird Street, ST.

Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expenses are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. If subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodical the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearsage is made.

Presented with the books were three beautiful bookmarks with appropriate symbolic designs thereon. Those were the gift of Eastern Star members and their names: Mrs. George L. Hoage, chairman: Mrs. William Martin, Miss Ella Charleston, Mrs. J. E. Glass and Mrs. L. M. Terrell were, as with the contributing members and "Fraternal Committee," recorded in the Holy Book. Past Master Ira S. Ashe conducted the ceremonies, assisted by O. C. Hall, who made the presentation speeches with Grand Lecturer L. A. Melker as marshal. The gifts were received in behalf of the lodge by D. D. G. M., Richard M. Johnson, who afterwards read an instrument paper.
