CJack Howell, son of Mr. and

ms food bill. He eats approxi-
matey 150 pounds of hay, 35
hearts oi* lettuce, '50 pounds of
cornstalks or green vegetables and
15 loaves of .teread. His favorite
foods are bran and carrots Although children,- love to throw
peanuts to elephants hi the zoo,
elephants have to learn to like
them. (Must be they are olives
to him). C.N0 Wonder this dehydrating of food, is getting so
much attention now that we a.ie
shipping supplies all over the
world for our soldiers. Even in
normal times it is estimated that
10% of all the freight handled is
foodstuffs. A method has been
discovered now which dehydrates
meats. When it reaches its destination water is added and it can
be fixed in any way that ground
meat can be used. At present they
have not found a successful way
to dehydrate chunks of meat
C.Ann Arbor was honored recently by having one of her citfeens
return from a two-year stay in
Europe on the Drottingholm Pat
Conger had been a United i?ress
war correspondent for two years
CIt is estimated that housewives
of America annually throw into
the garbage can two "billion pounds
of fats. Before the war -we imported oils and fats from Europe
and' the far east Now that shipping is hazardous and space is
needed to send tanks and guns and
food, we have stopped buying
these oils. Mrs. American Housewife is being asked to save the
bits and dabs of grease in a coffee can or. other-"'container and
when she has a pound or four or
five to take them to her grocer.
He will collect the dabs and
when he has a "gob" he will see
that it is sent to the proper place
to be manufactured into glycerine.
Doesn't that make you feel important. Mrs. America? You in
your own little kitchen or apartment kitchenette can supply the
material foi- a great big factory
to run day and night, to employ
men and women, to make explosives so badly needed now. C.A
soldier in Australia wrote his
mother that he was feeling fine
and now weighed about 12 stone.
His mother wondered what he
meant. But reading a little farther she discovered that a stone is
a measure of weight used in Australia as we use the pound here.
A stone weighs 14 pounds and he
weighed 170. He had noticed
many things in the new surroundings. He saw birds which made
him think of our Michigan crows
except for color; they are black
and white and the natives call
them magpies. He says many
people are riding to work on bicycles to save rubber, and gasoline, which is rationed. Eucalyptus trees such as we have in California are abundant there. He
said Australians could hardly believe him when he said his father
and all his brothers had automobiles. They are glad to have one
in a family and drive a model
older than our famous Model T.
C.A couple of Dexter business
men went into the fields and helped a farmer get in his hay one
afternoon recently. One Ypsilanti
business man who has a small
farm a few miles from town
closed his shop one afternoon and
used his truck to haul the bales
of hay from the field. C.This is
the season of pies—cherry, raspberry, blackberry, huckleberry, or
blueberry, if you prefer that name.
In a print shop the word pi
means something else. It is a
term used to mean a jumbled,
mess of type. It may mean you
drop an ad or a single line and
mess the letters, all together like
a pile of blocks after a child has
torn down the house he builded.
That happened in a neighboring
newspaper plant recently on a
printing afteAioon. About 750
papers had rolled off the press
and all was going well. They do
not have a machine to fold the
papers but three women come in
to do it. They had arrived and
were on the job. In three hours
the train would be in and the
papers must be at the depot.
