To Select Men in Classes I. and II.: Xhe Government needs urgently, for army service, technicians and me chanics of almost every kind. In this emergency, the Army Authorities have placed upon State Boards of Voca tional Education the responsiblity of providing through the schools of the country short courses in the trades and industries for additional training of selected men who are already some what proficient in some needed line of work. Workmen like the following are called for: Auto and gas engine men, truck ' drivers, blacksmiths, book keepers, carpenters, concrete wokers, draftmen, engineers of all kinds, foun dry men, machinists nurses, pattern makers, plumbers, surveyors, radio and wireless operators. The above list only suggests the variety of trained men needed. The Nebraska State Board has been assured by the Chancellor that the University is willing and eager to render a patriotic service by offering as many such courses as possible. In order to make the necessary prepara tion, the University must know ap proximately at the earliest possible moment how many men will take ad vantage of the offer and what courses will be called for. The courses will begin soon and continue until all ap plicants are trained, or the emergency no longer exists. Certain rules will govern the en rollment in classes: (1) Enrollment is limted to select ed men in Class I and II, who^have passed the physical examination, and who have some background of previous experience as well as ability necessary to undertake the work successfully. (2) Length of term depends upon the ability and application of the men. (3) Courses of instruction are free, but men will pay their own personal expenses. (4) Night as well as day classes may be organized. (5) No one is required to take this training. (6) A man who attends these classes will be given a statement to be taken to the cantonment as evidence of work he has done in preparation for an occupation which the army needs. (7) Names of men in clilsses will be filed with the Army Authorities, who will see to it that when men reach the cantonments they will be as signed to appropriate duties. The fact of this additional training insures that a man will be assigned to work for which he has made special preparation.

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD Food Administration Declares It Is an Absolute Sin to Waste Food—Food Has Become Sacred. Europe is still sending an insistent call for more food. We must send it If the war is to go on efficiently. If we eat it all we cannot ship it, and the food administration has already tried to picture how much that wheat is needed by people who will starve if they do not get it, the food administra tion states. “For the least bit of heedlessness on your part In food conservation some one somewhere in the world must suf fer prlvution,” nn official statement declares. “The food administration has mastered the problem of Ameri ca’s food in such a way that every ounce of food conserved and kept in the currents of trade goes to an empty stomach in Europe. “It is an absolute sin to waste food. Food has become sacred. “Food means life; it means some body’s life, and you cannot escape re sponsibility. “There is no waste of food among the allied nations." SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES’ FOOD STOCKS 'OSSIBLE The government has never consid ered any plan of seizing foodstuffs owned by householders. Nor is there apy policy of this kind suggested for the future. In spite of this fact, the United States food administration has been obliged repeatedly to issue official de nials of rumors that the government Intends commandeering preserves and canned goods put up in American homes. These rumors were originated partly by pro-German propagandists and part ly by conscienceless grafters, who sought to profit through buying from misinformed housewives. The year 1918 will see home canning and preserving practiced on greater scale than ever before in the nation’s; history, officials in Washington believe.; ! And they are assuring all patriotic: I housewives that foods so saved arei | theirs, and tfcelrs alone, 9* _ ."-l.’..— l—_a WAR BREAD COSTLY TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT Every year the British government pays $200,000,000 toward the cost of that nation’s war bread. That Is the principal reason Vhy English bread; prices are lower today to the consumer than in America. Incidentally the British bread Is much poorer than the American. Great Britain has taken over all home grown grain, bought at an arbi trary price, and all Imported wheat bought In markets of the world at pre vailing prices. This la turned over to the mills by the government at a price that allows the adulterated war bread; loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents. The two pound loaf costs 9 cents, and the one pound loaf sells for 5 cents. In milling, however, 14 per cent.) more Hour is extracted from the wheat thnn In America. And there Is a com pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent, and an allowable adulteration of 50 per cent. Compared with American bread, the British product Is only about 65 per cent, pure at Its best. In France, under conditions some what similar, but with a larger extrac tion, the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents. Send Your Soft Collars to tire Laundry.

Where are the Hinges, Catches And Latches? Inside out of sight and I out of the way. I Women have been cleaning fussy ranges for fifty years. They have had to dig the dirt out of cracks, corners and crev ices,from around hinges, catches, latches and knobs. Poor, long suffering woman! Just a few years ago automo biles came out. They were full of ornaments—hinges, catches, knobs and handles. But man had to clean automobiles. He rebelled. He wouldn’t stand for these things. They were not only ugly, but prevented the proper cleaning of the body. About this time the Concealed Hinge of the Copper-Clad was invented. The automobile man ufacturer grabbed it. Inside went all hinges, catches and latches, and ornaments were abolished entirely. Why shouldn’t a kitchen range be smooth and easy to clean? The Copper-Clad Range Cleans Like a Dish. Warmer C&L Sons
