KEPT PLEDGE TO SEND BREAD American Nation Maintained Al lied Loaf Through Self- Denial at Home Table. AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR. With Military Demand* Upon Ocean Shipping Relieved, World le Able to Return to Normal White Wheat Bread. Since the advent o f the lateet wheat crop the only limitation upon Ameri can exports to Europe has been the shortage of shipping. Between July 1 and October 10 we shipped 03,080.81X1 bushels. I f this rate should continue until the end o f the fiscal year we will have furnished the Allies with more than 287,500,000 bushels of wheat and flour In terms o f wheat The result o f Increased production and conservation efforts In the United State* has beeu that with the cessa tion of hostilities we are able to re turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies that have accumulated In Australia. Argentine and other hitherto Inacces sible markets may be tapped by ships released from transport service, uud European demand for American wheat probably w ill not exceed our normal aurplua. There Is wheat enough avail able to have a white loaf at the com mon table. But last year tha tale was different. Only by the greatest possible saving sad sacrifice were we able to keep a steady stream o f wheat and flour mov ing across the sea. We found our selves at the beginning o f the harvest year with an unusually short crop. Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus of 30,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe was facing the probability of a bread famine— and In Europe bread Is by far the moat Important article In the diet. All o f this surplus had left the country early In the fall. By the first o f the year we had managed to ship a little more than 50,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost economy at home— by wheatless days, wheatless meals, heavy substitution of other cereals and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout the country. In January the late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that only If we sent an additional 73.- 000,000 bushels before July 1 could he take the responsibility of assuring his people that they would be fed. The response o f the American peo ple was 85,000.000 bushels safely deliv ered overseas between Januaiy 1 and July 1. Out o f a harvest which gave us only iiO.OUU.OUO bushels surplus we actually shipped 141,000.000 bushels. Thus did America fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread rations could be maintained, and already the American people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last year’s figures will be bettered. + + + + + + + + + + + + + r + + + + + + Our exports since is country + entered ths war have Justified a + statement made by the Food Ad- + ministration shortly after It* con- + ceptlon, outlining the principles + and policies that would govern + the solution o f this country's + food problems. + “ The whole foundation o f de- + mooracy,” declared the Food Ad- + ministration, “ lies In the lndf- + vidua!

G R E A TE S T O P P O R TU N ITY W OMEN EVER HAD. It was given to the women o f this country to perform the greatest serv ice In the winning of the war vouch safed to any women In the history of the wars of the world—to feed the warriors and the war sufferers. By the arts o f peace, the practice o f sim ple, homely virtues the womanhood of a whole nation served humanity In Its profoundest struggle for peace and freedom. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ RELIGION OF THE CHILDREN Spirit of Faith, Hope and Love Toward the Father and Mother Is Off spring's World. We need not follow the antiquarians back luto the era of the cave dwellers In our search for the origin of rctiglou. Religion Is reborn In the birth o f every babe, says Lyman Abbott lit the Out look. He needs no teacher to tell him that he Is dependent on his mother for his food, and a widening sense of Ills helpless dependence on her grows with his widening experience. Her service to him awakens his gratitude, her brooding love for him Inspires In him an answering love. If she Is wise as well as nit affec tionate mother, he early recognises her authority and learns that prompt obedience Is one secret of happiness. If she loves and honors her husband’ her child’s love and honor follows hers to the strong stranger. If she has piety ns well as human a ITeel ion, he dimly perceives In her prayers at his bedside an experience which he presently wishes he might share. Thus there grows up In him a spirit of dependence, gratitude, love, rever ence. obedience, faith ami this spirit is religion, it antedates all theology, precedes thought, transcends defini tion. The spirit of faith, hope and hive toward father and mother Is the child’s religion. The conception of God and his duties toward God conies later. TURNS THOUGHT TO RELIGION Destruction by Shell of Statue Th a t Stood Somewhere in Galicia Re sulted in Me.iy Reproductions. Yes. war does turn men's thoughts to religion. Go to gay. Immoral Buda pest. You find It today a city o f sober people. You find In many of the shop windows the reproduction of a famous statue that stood ■'somewhere In Gali cia," relates the Christian Herald. It was a large crucifix. A battle pivoted around It. A shell struck the statue, tore away the entire cross and left the figure of the t ’hrist standing and unscathed. This event made a tremendous Impression u | h > u the Hun garians. The story of It went through the army like wildfire. At Budat>est mini ature statues, showing the destroyed cross und the intact figure o f the Christ, were at once manufactured, aud put on sale. You cau find them now, expensive or cheap. In nearly every Hungarian home. The pity of It Is that It seems to take u war to make some people think of these things. Make Your Own Fat Compound. Many folks object to paying the pres ent high price for lurd. but realize that at the price of hogs and with the prob able future demand It is unlikely thut the price will be reduced soon. It be comes Important, then, to find a cheap er satisfactory substitute. Dr. Louise Stanley o f the Missouri college of ag riculture, suggests thut housewives consider suet as u source of cheap fat. Suet has not been us extensively used as lard on account of Its harder con sistency. It can be obtained at about 111 cents a pound. From this can be ohtuined 14 ounces of pure fat at a cost o f 1- cents a pound. In order to bring this to the consistency of lard it is only necessary to add oil In the proportion of one of oil to two parts of suet. This gives a compound fat which Is very satisfactory for general household use. Cottonseed oil or corn oil cun now be obtained at uhout 21 cents u (Miuud. On the basis of the above proportions a satisfactory lurd substitute can he had at a cost of 15 cents a pound. Light Best Suited to Eyes. Recent Investigations into the kind of light best suited to the eyes have Important practical significance. The studies were made from the point of view o f “ contrast” to determine the Ideal contrast between the object looked at and the surrounding back ground. It was found that the usual contrast In brightness In tween objects out o f doors rarely exceeds the raMo of 1 to 20. The eye cun detect coo trusts as delicate ns 08 to 100. In doors, contrast In light and shadow [ often runs as high as 1 to 200, and a dark window frame against a bright -ky presents a contrast of 1 to 10,000. The scale of contrasts best suited to ihe eye lies htween 1 lo 20 and 1 to 100 . Agriculture in France. The French governim nt has under taken to supply the depleted ranks of the fargiers and to give assistance to the amateur farmer by means of o correspondence course, which has been eagerly received. The pupil receives | instructions as to a course o f reading, the management of a small experimen tal plot, the carrying out o f simple i •xporlments, visits to neighboring farms, etc. The Union o f Agricultural ' Syndicates, which has assumed cliargi \ o f this work for the government, lias '.ippointed a number of “ monitors’’ to ! supervise the work of pupils. The pti pits prepare monthly examination pn- | i<ers and render monthly re|s»rts. ♦ F IR S T C A L L T O FOOD ARMY. ♦ ♦ This co-operation and service ♦ I ask o f all In full confidence ♦ T o Reduce Airplane Explosion*. that America will render more ♦ Airplanes equipped with machine for flag and freedom than king ♦ ridden people surrender at com- ♦ guns run a certain degree of risk from n explosion caused by the (lame al pulsion.— Herbert Hoover, Au- ♦ gust 10, 1917. ♦ . the muzzle of the gun.

MUST INCREASE FOOD EXPORTS America Called on by End of War to Supply Added Millions. ECONOMY STILL NEEDED. Over Thr*# Tima* Prs-War Shipment* Required— Situation In Wheat and Fata Prove* Govarnmant’a Policy Sound. With the guns In Europe silenced, wo have now to consider a new world food situation. But there can be no hope thut the volume o f our export* can be lightened to the slightest de gree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions of peopls liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending upon us for the food which will keep them from starvation. With fluid the United States made It luisslhle for the forces of democ racy to hold out to victory. To Insure democracy til the world, we must con tinue to live simply In order that we uiay supply these liberated nations of Europe with food. Hunger among n people Inevitably breeds anarchy. American food must complete the work of making the world safe for democ racy. I-ast year wo sent 11,820,000 tons of food to Europe. For the present year, with only the European Allies to feed, we had orlglually pledged ourselves to a program that would have Increased our exports to 17,300,000 tons. Now, to feed the liberated nations, we will have to export n total of not less thiiu 20.000. 0110 toas— practically the limit o f loading capacity at our ports Re- viewing the world fluid situation, we find that some foods w|JI be obtainable In quantities sufficient to meet nil world needs under a regime of eco nomical consumption. On th» other hand, there will be marked world shortage* in some Important commodi ties. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. With the enlarged wheat crop* which American furtuers have grown, and the supplies o f Australia, the A r gentine and other innrkets now acces sible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their normal wheat lonf, provided we continue to mill flour at a high percentage o f extraction and maintain economy In eating and the avoidance of waste. In fats there will be a heavy short age — about 8,000,000,000 pounds — In pork products, dairy products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons in rich protein feeds for dalry^ ani mals, there will he sufficient supplies o f other feedstuffs to allow economical consumption. In the matter o f beef, the world’s supplies sre limited to the capacity of the available refrigerating ships. The supplies of beef In Australia, the A r gentine and the United .States are suf ficient to loud these ships. There will be a shortage In the importing coun tries, but we cannot hope to expand exports materially for the next mouths In view o f the bottle neck In trans portation. We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption In this country If the other nations re tain their present short rations or In crease them only slightly. For the countries o f Europe, however, to in crease their present rations to a ma teriel extent will necessitate our shar ing a part o f our own supplies with them. Tw e n ty Million Tons of Food. O f the world total. North America will furnish more than 00 per cent. The United States, including the West Indies, will he called ujxin to furnish 20.000. 000 tons o f food of all kinds as compared with our pro-war exports of about 0,000,1X10 tons. While we will he uble to change our program In many respects, even a casual survey o f the world supplies In comparison to world demands shows conclusively that Europe will know famine unless Aie American people bring their borne consumption down to the barest minimum that will main tain healtli and strength. There sre conditions of famine In Europe thut will be beyond our power to remedy. There are 40,< kn », isxj peo ple In North Russia whom there Is small chance o f reaching with food this winter. Their traiisisirtatloii Is demoralized In complete anarchy, and shortly many o f their ports will be frozen, even If Internal transport could be realized. T o Preserve Civilization. At this moment Germany has not Hlone sucked tha food and animals from all those masses o f [wiople she has dominated and left starving, but she has left behind her a total wreck age of social Institutions, and this iiiiihs o f people Is now confronted with absolute anarchy. If we mine our own snfety and the social organization of the world. If we value the preservation of civilization Itself, we cannot permit growth o f this cancer in the world's vitals. Famine Is the mother of annrehy. From the Inability o f governments to secure food for their people grows revolution und chaos. From an ability to supply their people grows stability o f government and the defeat o f an archy. Did we put It on no higher piano than our Interests In tho pro tect Ion of our Institutions, we must bestir ourselves In solution o f till* problem. Classy job printing.
