At breakfast in a small hotel a trav- eling man noticed that the guests in the dining room were averaging about two spoonfuls of sugar to the cup of coffee, though the sugar was low in the bowl. In the dining room of the railroad station where he ‘got ‘his lunch, the sugar bowl ‘was empty. Nobody was grumbling about the scarcity of sugar or anything else, because the country was at war. But a man wearing spec- tacles did 1ift a big spoon out of the bowl -where the sugar would have been. #Wonder' why it is’ customary for /us Americans to shovel sugar instead of: dipping it?’ he asked ‘& friend. That night, at a hotel in the city, the drummer had dipped about four tihes with the after-dinner coffee spoon he found in the sugar before he got half as much-sugar as he usually took.” He looked at thé negro walter opposite and smiled. “Yes, suh, mister,” that black dig- nitary grinned, “that’s whut we calls the little. ‘war spoon.’ The boss, he gays it helps people to remember; and they don’t use much more'n half as ‘much sugar since he put it in- the sugar 'dish."—Eugene' Blake in The Vigllantes. Curlous Food Supplies. Heeding the Puget sound call for food from the deep, a-whole regiment of patriotic seals offered themselves for slaughter in the Sea island, Ber- ing sea, and a' large supply of their | meat was brought down in- January by the United States steamship Roose- velt, for scientific test of its food value, Phil Norton Wwrites in' Leslie’s. Officers of the bureau of fisheries and new dish connoisseurs at Seattle sam-. pled the seal roast at sundry feasts. It gave them a'grand and glorious feel- lng, they said. It" makes the Stom-. ach feel slick and efficient. "It is bet- ter than the medt ‘of the burly whale. It is dark red in color, rich and julcy, stripped of blubber, as good as fine beef, in fact. The north Pacific is full |. of them. Only three-year-old males are slaughtered. Little pieces of pork are cooked with the seal roast, to give it flavor. - The walrus, adorned with valuable fvory tucks, also is being mobilized. One of these fat and bulky creatures would feed a whole troop of Sammies. “Not so0,”. say Puget sounders; “we’ll eat the walrus and send: our beef across.” :\*ii**—#*&%***i#i COMMENCEMENT AT ol **-fii**i***iis&!{mfi# The tenth grade gave its mencement program at tne school on Memorial Day, The pio- neers of the county held a reunionm, also, in the afternoon. "The = day closed with a basket supper for the Red Cross. The day was a Red Cross day from early morning, being the close of a two weeks’ Red Cross drive in the school: " Commencement program was scheduled for 10 a. m. The follow- ing students were graduates: Arthur Olson, Harold Hankey, Dorothy Carl- son, Janette Gilge, Isabel Hankey, Elmer Johnson, Della Anderson, Reu- ben Carlson, Myrtle Monson, Verna Monson, Alvira Fossum, Arthur Krogseng, Lillian Anderson. At 1 p. m, Miss Shelland deliv- ered the memorial address of the day, before a large audience on the school grounds, in front of the school house. Agricultural Agent Aamodt was present and spoke to the farmers, also Mr. Clelland from the Univer- sity Farm school. A number of old settlers also spoke during the day, including our county commissioner. At 3 p. m.,, a Red Cross sale of manual training things was held, the auction netting $22. A quilt made by the pupils of the Fifth grade was also sold, netting “$20. The candy saving of the school children for the week was $8. This gave the Junior Red Cross of the school a total con- tribution for the year of $90, as $40 was contributed before. During the day, the ladies served lunch, and at night gave a basket supper, netting in all over $100. .. The schools ‘and people of Saum wish to thank the people of Kelliher for their liberal aid to this cause at our commencement. The school wishes especially to thank William Klock, who was auctioneer for the day. Without his services the sale would not have been such a success. .He gave his time freely to the work of the Red Cross, receiving @uo pay, and expressing himself that he wish- ed he could do more. He cannot serve in France, but he has certainly served well in America. The Lutheran Ladies aid also de- serves much credit for the success of the day, Mrs. Krogseng taking the lead, having spent all day and most of the night in the domestic science room, The entire proceeds were gen- erously turned into the Red Cross fund. Red Cross Sale at Saum. Memorial Day at Saum was Red Cross day. The school and people of the country contributed on that day $150 to the Red Cross funds For the entire school year the school has given to the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. considerably ‘above $200.

Making Money With Milk ILK costs more. these days and is' worth more. Every cent added to its value ' makes'it that much more important to properly care for and protect it. It is both financial and criminal negligence to lose a single quart through improper care. p Likewise every cent cut from its cost is that much more money. made. R 2 A good milk house, as a sanitary and time-saving con- - venience; is a good investment. It costs little. And if built of WHITE PINE it will last indefinitely. White Pine is the best of all woods for outside uses becausé it does not warp, twist, split or rot even after years of exposure. Every joint holds tight. 2 We have plans, specifications and bill of materials for the above Milk House—or for any other type of farm building—free on request of us, together with our estimate of the cost. Every labor-saving convenience is justifiable war expense. And lumber, in terms of farm produce, was never cheaper. See us and let us prove it. ST.
