BOOICfcfcVf,M)a It comes as a surprise, very often, 1o tlml how fur bock In the centuries some of the ordinary things of every day life rust their roots. It may not be generally realized that double-entry bookkeeping, for Instance, adopt ed tn moHt large businesses of tn modern world, originated, or If It did not originate, was practiced, among the mercantile communities of Italy In the fifteenth century. An early ex ponent of the method was Minorite monk named Luea De Burgo, other wise Pacllol, who wrote and published treatise on the subject In Venice In the year 1404, three years before Se bastian Cabot landed In America. The system survives as Loca De Burgo es tablished It, with the exception of the few alterations necessitated by four centuries of commercial evolution. Still Mr. Evans or some one else tells strange stories of bookkeeping by dou ble entry In the palace accounts of Knossus, twelve centuries before the Christian era. Christian Science Mon itor.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat IT! i2 KEPT PLEDGE TO SEND BREAD American Nation Maintained Al lied' Loaf Through Self Oenial at Home Table. AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR. With Military Demands Upon Ooean hipping Relieved, World Is Able to Return to Normal White Wheat Bread. Since the advent of the latest wheat crop the only limitation upon Ameri can exports to Europe has been the shortage of shipping. Between July 1 snd October 10 we shipped 65.980 buahels. If this rate should continue until the end of the fiscal year we will have furnished the Allies with more than 237,600,000 bushels of wheat and flour In terms of wheat The result of Increased production snd conservation efforts In the United States bas been that with the cessa tlon 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, and European demand for American wheat probably will not exceed our normal surplus. There Is wheat enough avail able to have a white loaf at the com mon table. But last year the tale was different. Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keep a ateady stream of wheat and flour mov Ipg across the sea. We found our selves at the beginning of the harvest year with an unusually abort crop. Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we bad a bare surplus of 20,000,000 bushels. And yet Burope was facing the probability of a bread famine and In Europe bread Is by far the most Important article in the diet All of thla surplus bad left the country early In the fall By the first of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 60,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost economy at home by wheatless days, wbeatlesa 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 78,. 000,000 bushels before Jaly 1 could be take the responsibility of assuring hla people that they would be fed. The response of the American peo ple was 85,000,000 bushels safely deliv ered overseas between January 1 and July 1. Out of a harvest wh'cb gave us onty 20,000,000 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. -T Our exports since .. 's' country entered the war have Justified a statement made by the Food Ad ' ministration shortly after Its con- ceptlon, outlining the principles and policies that would govern the solution of thla country's food problems. "The whole foundation of de- mocreey," declared the Food Ad- ministration, "lies In the lndl- vidua! Initiative of Its people and their willingness to serve the Interests of the nation with com- plete self effacement in the time of emergency. Democracy can yield to discipline, and we can solve this food problem for our own people and for the Allies In this way. To have done so will have been a greater aervlce than our Immediate objective, for we have demonstrated the rightful- ness of our faith and our ability to defend ourselves without be- log Prussianized.'' Sending to Europe 141,000,000 bush el a of wheat from a surplus of appar ently nothing was the outstsndtng ex ploit of the American food army In the critical year ot the war. GREATEST OPPORTUNITY WOMEN EVER HAD. It was given to the women of 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 ot peace, the practice ot sim ple, homely virtues the womanhood of a whole nation served humanity in Its profoundest struggle for peace and freedom. I4t444 FIRST CALL TO FOOD ARMY.
