The raising of the flag Wednes
day was impressive, not so much
from the ceremony that attended
it, but from a patriotic point It
is the flag our forefathers fought
under for American independ
ence, successfully defended in
1812 and again in 1846. During
our own rebellion it was the em
blem that led the forces in the
successful struggle for a contin
ued union of the states. Next,
in 1898, it was carried at the
head of the columns fighting for
the freedom of an oppressed
people to the credit of our coun
try and those who carried it.
Once more we are called upon to
fight for liberty and justice and
with such a cause the stars and
stripes will surely come out of
the fray with honor. Such is
the flag—the flag of every Amer
ican—that was floated Wednes
day. To the two hundred school
children witnessing the simple
little ceremony it will be an occa
sion always remembered and may
their children sing “The Old
Flag Never Touched the Ground.”
As pretty a sight as one could
wish to see is the great mass of
bloom in orchard after orchard
as one drives over the project.
Yet to the owners of these orch
ards harvest time next fall will
prove the most attractive and we
are not sure but what we can
appreciate the fruit laden tree
more than the blossoms.
Reports from various meetings
recently where both sides of the
road bond issue were discussed
indicate that the opposition is
presenting a very weak argu
ment In this connection we call
attention to what Fred A. Yates,
a former Hermiston resident now
living in California, says: “Am

HERALD, ‘HERMISTON, OREGON.
glad to see you boosting for the
permanent good roads bond pro
position. We of California now
have $33,000,000 of state high
way bonds and, really, we do
not notice any burden. In this
state the auto, largely, pays for
the highway and more highways
means more autos, etc. ’ ’
Congress is preparing a war
revenue bill that will raise $33
per capita. Of course this will
be arranged so those best able
will pay the most, but all must
stand some part. If we will all
practice the strictest economy
now, we may not find it neces
sary to deny ourselves many
necessities later.
The war is bringing out the
fact every day that we do not
have to depend on Europe for
many things formerly imported.
In truth, the American article
generally proves a little better
once the manufacture is perfected.
With the greatly increased
crops of all kinds planted in the
Hermiston country this year, our
people are going to be greatly
surprised at the amount of pro
duce that can be grown.

Watch Your
Kitchen
Waste
A large part of the
$700,000,00 0 esti*
mated food waste in
this country is good food
whichis allowed to get into
garbage pails and kitchen sinks.
Ask Yourself
“Can It Be Eaten?
Don’t throw out any left overs that can be reheated or
combined with other foods to make palatable and nourishing
dishes.
DO YOU KNOW-
That every bit of uneaten cereal can be used to thicken
soups, stews or gravies?
That stale bread can be used as the basis for many at
tractive meat dishes, hot breads and desserts?
That every ounce of skimmed milk or whole milk con
tains valuable nourishment? Use every drop of milk to
drink or to add nourishment to cereals, soups, sauces and
other foods. If you do not want milk to sour keep it cool,
clean, and covered continually. Remember, too, that sour
milk, buttermilk and sour cream are valuable in cookery; so
do not waste any. Sour milk and buttermilk can be used
with soda in making hot breads, or sour milk can be turned
easily into cottage cheese, cream cheese or clabber. Sour
cream is good shortening in making cakes and cookies and
useful for salad dressings and gravies for meat.
That every bit of meat and fish can be combined with
cereals or vegetables for making meat cakes, meat or fish
pies, and so on, and to add flavor and food value to made
dishes?
DO YOU KNOW—
That every spoonful of left over gravy can be used in
soups and sauces or as flavoring for meat pies, croquettes
and vegetables.
That every bit of clean frt trimmed from meat and every
spoonful of drippings and every bit of grease that rises when
meat is boiled can be clarified, if need be, and is valuable
in cookery? Don’t fatten your garbage pail at the expense
of your bank account
That when meat is boiled, the water dissolves out some
valuable food and flavoring material? Save such water for
soup or for use in stews or gravies, or for cooking vege
tables. Save and keep soup stock. Every professional cook
knows that keeping a soup or stock pot is an essential econ
omy.
DO YOU KNOW-
That valuable food and flavoring get into the water in
which rice and many vegetables are cooked? Use such
water for soup making if it has an agreeable flavor. Don’t
pour nourishment down the sewer.
That careless paring of potatoes or fruits often wastes
as much as 20 per cent of their food material?
That the outside leaves of lettuce and that the tops of
many vegetables make desirable cooked “greens” or even
salads?

about the nature and uses of foods and how to feed your family econom -
