C who is Salt Lake .County's home demonstrator IA central committee, whose duty it is to attend to the business end of the conservation work tn our community, and a general committee working with the people of our camp through the leadership of the central commit-tee, have already been appointed and are doing excellent work. Mrs. Mae Simpson, our committee chairman, is a woman well adapted to the work to which the has been ap-pointed, and under her able leader-ship we are sure to accomplish big results along the lines of work we are undertaking. Miss Edmunds, our county demon-strator, is a young woman of charm-ing personality, good address and with a strong conviction that conservation of our food and clothing supply is' to be a large and very Important factor in the winning of the world war; and that practical demonstration to the American housewife of the various uses of the many foodstuffs with which the average woman is unfamil-iar, but which we all must now use to their best advantage, is the only way in which food conservation can be used to its greatest effectiveness. These demonstrations are bound to be not only instructive but very in- - terestlng and of great help to all who attend them. At the morning session on Friday, light "war breads" will be set to "rise" and then some demonstrations In the making and baking of "quick breads" will be given. . IA two or three-hou- r recess will be called for luncheon, and then we will go back to see the baking and final triumphant exit from tne oven of several kinds of delicious "war breads." ' Every housewife who has been un-able to make really 8oca bread from wheat flour substitutes is especially requested to take advantage of these lessons, and those who have had "pretty good luck" are urged to at-tend the classes in order to their improve skill and, perhaps, some of us have one or more pet recipes which could be used to good advantage by other women. (All suggestions and help of any kind along the lines of this great work will be gladly welcomed by tlte commit-tee. Our boys, some 400 of them from Bingham alone, are doing their duty in France, and it is' p to we women to do our bit in the kitchen. Come on, women of iBIngham!

In the path of American troopships, by United States naval forces operating In European waters, may be gained from statistics Just compiled at the naval headquarters In London. These statistics show that a single force of American destroyers operating from ' one base had steamed almost 1,500,000 i miles up to April I. The maximum distance covered by single destroyer was more than 880,000 miles from May 1, 1917, to April L 1918. This was one of the first to arrive broad after war was declared. . ! It has been announced that Vice Ad-miral William 8.

SOLDIERS GIVEN A BIG HflHBL The first regular farewell party given IBinghnm departing soldiers in !ower IMngham was thnt of Thursday I night of last week In Canyon hall In honor of 'Harold Mayne, Richard Howell Davis and Tavis Will-iams, preparatory to their departure ! i for the army. ! The Idea of this party was origin-ated oy J. S. 'Myers, who was tho leader In working up the big dance of the Utah Copper employes for the Red Cross benefit some months ago. This dance was free and open to every one, and the expenses vere defrayed by private subscriptions. A large crowd attended, and it was a very enjoyable occasion. 'MukIc was furnished by the Rag Time Seven or-- i ' chestra. In addition d the dance - there, was a speaking program Judge John C. Green was the chief orator of the occasion. He made a splendid talk to the young men who were going away, and it was highly enjoyed by the crowd. Also Mr. Myers made a talk in which he took occa-sion to let the people know that he was purely American. He said'thst some had referred to him as a Ger-man, but he wanted it understood that he was born on 'American soil and that he was against the kaiser and was willing to do whatever he could to help crush him. Out of the funds collected there was enough left after paying all expeimes of the dance to give the four men a present of $23.15 each. AImo to eive I Doman, of Uppt r tllngiinm, another soldier, who was .going away, $10. After the dance the soldiers were given a luncheon at the Vienna cafe. Not Altogether Good.
