Such a man need not expect to succeed in his calling if he goes on with this method of managing his affails. The high price of flour has brought home to the people of this country the fact that they have neglected one crop of great value to them. That crop is wheat. This section should raise all of the wheat it needs, and it could have been doing this long ago. The planting of wheat in this county will be sure to bring the location of mills for grinding t into flour. The results from meatless days, inaugurated at the suggestion of the United States Food Administration, have now, for the first time, given us sufficient reserves of meat to allow us to partially comply with the vecjuirements for shipment to the countries associated with us in the war It should be a matter of satisfactio) to the entire American people thai their devotion in this matter now no. abics us to at least partially fulfil our duties to these countries in thf? respect. o Some men and women we knov would feel entirely out of place I they ever had a single day durinj which they did not believe they wen /jick. p??????????????

R Caldwell, 457 W; The heat less Monday is more liko Sunday than anything else we can compare it with. 0 When we cut down on our food supplies we arc saving tlie necessary staff of life for those at the front who are fighting our battles. Onl\ the unpatriotic will grumble at this uirt of deprivation. o The second of the heatloss Mondays was January 28th, 1918. It resulted in the saving of no fuel so far as the stores and offices were con corned as the weather was too war .v. :o require any heating-. Some provision should he made for Mondays warm enough in this section to do without fire. Idleness is a great loss in this time of war as well as the burning of fuel. 6 It takes a long time to get anything new into the understanding of the masses of the people of any country. The newspapers do all that they can along thiline and if it \vere not for them, it would still "c like it was in ancient times when a man would mount a platform at a certain hour on th0 public square an detail in a few words the news of th? day to such of those as would oc willing to he on hand at the time appointed. In any crisis the people oi a country owe as much to the new-, papers as they do to any one department of industry. o Regardless of the wars which ii the course of history has thinned oul the populations of countries; regar 1 less of the disease and pestilence The worhl has steadily increased h population since it was launched im existence, and yet there is no mm smart enough to figure out the pur poses of the creator, the great m l through which natur0 is putting thi: < art lily ball.

Such a policy on the part of any producer is shot-sighted when the prevailing price for cotton seed ir obtainable and results in an economic loss as well as destroying valuable food for man and beast. "The Food Administration would like ot see this wasteful practice eliminated. Rule 4 of the Special Rules of the United States Food Administration prohibits the use of cotton seed for feed or fertilizers without the written consent of the State Food Administrator. It is probable that few farmers who arc thus practicing litis wasteful method realize the loss Loth to themselves and to their fellow man resulting in the utilization of cotton seed in this manner. "America is the greatest food storehouse in the world today and we must all practice the strictest kind of economy. There must bG no waste, of the essential food products. The oil which is extracted from the cotton seed is a food product." > o FINOS A REAL BLOCKHEAD Fashioned by Nature on a Red Cedar I It Resembles a Huge and Jolly Gargoyle. Minneapolis.? Fashioned by a freak of nature, the original "blockhead" of the Northwest was recently found In the woods by G. B. Sehoepf, No. .".540 Chicago avenue. Its cranium is a bulgy cedar knot. Its eyes are grain iinod indentations,. its nose a bulge, and its month a crease out of which darts, tongue fashion, a broken branch. The whole droll creature re-j sembles the head of some jolly squat individual who had been turned into: was hueely amused at the necromancy. ' While hunting along tiio bluffs about two miles above Hastings Mr. Schoepf, scantling tree tops for game. I saw the fantastic head peering down at him like A gargoyle Instead of letting fly with shot from his gun lie investigated the specimen, discovering that it wasn't a new kind of game, but a knot grown to a red cedar, lie detached the head and lias kept it in his collection of relics since. The k'.ot has not been touched with a tool or even veneered, but rubbing against the. sides of the hunter's 1 game bag imparted a polish to the wood which resembled a ruddy glow. 700 PENNIES EARN $175 Sunday School Pupils Give Practical Demonstration of ''Parable of the Talents." Frankfort, Ind.?How 700 Lincoln ! pennies grew into $17.7 in a year was ' related at the Methodist Sunday j school here.
