If IS A food map of Europe today shows not a single country In which the fu ture does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only a small part which Is not rapidly approaching the famine point With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even In the Ukraine, with stores accu mulated on the farms, there Is famine In the large centers of population. Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand In a different rela tion from the other nations to the peo ple of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and Is already making special efforts to core for their Increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be Included In tills plan, are urgent in Hie extreme and must have Immediate relief.

John Combs was given the oath of office as sheriff Monday morning and took off his coat and went to work, having served years ago as sheriff and several more recent terms as dep uty, the work was natural for him, and he already seems a part of the office. His chief deputy is F. A. Rowell, who has served in that capacity for ex-Sheriff Knox for the past four years, and the affairs of the sheriff's office will proceed without a ripple. Judge Wallace was given the oath of that office for the next six years as county judge, and Commissioner H. J. Lister was sworn in for the next four years as successor to himself, both on Saturday. Warren Brown took the oath of office for county clerk on Monday, and A. R. Bowman succeeded Ralph. Jordan as treasurer the first nf tha week. Mr. Jordan has been treasur er for the past ten years, always gave first class service, and was not a can didate for the office this time. Mr. Bowman is well qualified for the position and will be a good official. From all that can ho en ihnni the court house there is lttle to re mind anyone Of the recent elenlinn. and the affairs of the county are pro ceeding smoothly, and no doubt will uuunuue 10 qo so.

" Germany, on the other hand, need not figure tn such a map for Ameri cans because there Is no present Indi cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany.

The same Is true nf Spain and the northern neutral coun triesNorway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been alile to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.

Before another spring thou sands of them Inevltablv must OIp Tills applies as well to Poland and vvisestuljlislu'd once more In her own J practically throughout the Baltic re gions, with conditions most serious In Finland. Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula tion Is falling each week as hunger takes Its toll, and In Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine Is near. Al though starvation Is not yet Imminent Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur key are in the throes of serious strin gencies. In order to fulfill America's pledge tn world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be han dled through our ports. This means at the very least a minimum of 20,000,000 tons compared with 6,000,000 tons pre war exports and 11,820,000 tons ex ported last year, when we were hound by the ties of war to the Europeun allies. If we fall to lighten the black snots on the hunger map or If we allow uny portions to become darker the very peace for which we fought and bled will lie threatened.

"The people of this community da not realize what Is in store for them, and just what should be done to as sist in this development," he con tinued. "I live less than 300 miles from Prineville, and know a number of the most prominent business peo ple of your town quite well, yet I had no idea that you had a million dollar irrigation project so well ad-' vanced, and that the quality of land it covers was such as you have here. . "When I went into Nampa a very few vears a?n Inst anih land w,. ranging in price downward from $5t per acre, wnne tooay tne same land Is selling readily as high as $300 and is worth every cent of it. Candidly, I believe the community needs a good man's-sized dose of printer's ink. Not a propaganda that is untrue or boastful, but a simple statement of facts, given to the press throughout the country, and in such, a way that it will be news to the peo ple who are looking for just such a community as you have here for a " home. "It is impossible to realize the situ ation in the Prineville country with out having visited here, and I will . watch the future growth of the towa and its surrounding country with great interest. "The buildings and the business places, the attitude ot your business people and the manner in which they conduct their affairs shows that they have prepared the foundations better for a city than they realize them selves. , "Your railroad project, your irriga tion and the possible development ot timber intrests here show a great er spirit of development than many larger towns can boast of, while it has never been equaled in a commun ity ot this size even in peace times, to my knowledge. "The close of the war makes pos sible many things for Prineville that could not have been accomplished be- fore, and the demand for just such lands as vou have here at reason able- figures is indeed great. A development mat will mean great things for Pi'inev.'lle should be under wav six months from this dat. and will be rapid when It, starts." Mr. Rowland left this afternoon for Nampa, where his mining operations are just getting under operation, and are promising great development for his concern.
