CHRISTMAS EVE Miss Josephine Krick, This City, Tells of Experience i in Hospital AT MESVES, FRANCEj German Prisoners and American Wounded Heroes Enjoy Event. Christmas in a hospital Jn France is described by Miss Josephine Krick, a Red Cross nurse, in a letter to her parents, Mr. anil Mrs. Henry Krick: Xmas Night, Mesves, France A. P. O. 798, A. E. F. My Dear Mother and All: This is Xmas night and I wouldn't mind being home telling you all we did last night and today but since that isn’t possible why I’ll try and write you about it. Barring the mud and the rain we have had a very pleasant Xmas. I’ve been on night duty two weeks now, and it. has rained every night. I wish i I could give you some idea of the mud I but. here words fail. I'll tell you what 1 I did in my ward and then you canj got an idea of what all the wards did - The boys went out in the woods near here and gathered mistletoe and holly. Really they’ve the most beau-' tiful holly here I’ve ever seen —the loaves are so green and shiny and so many red berries on every sprig. We completely covered the rafters in the ward with holly, mistletoe and shrubbery. They made a beautiful ■ arch of holly over the doorway. I sent to Cosne for sonje crepe paper red and green, which by the way is: very expensive here (a franc a sheet) j We made fancy light shades from. it.' The boys strung cotton for snow and put it with the green decorations. They hung holly wreathes in each window (there are about forty-eight.); The Red Cross gave each ward a 1 Christmas tree and decorations for it. They also filled two socks for each man. They contained nuts, cigarettes, matches, chewing gum,] candy and khaki handkerchiefs. We also made candy for each man and filled baskets with candy and dates for each lad. Xmas eve we had a party. We took off our old gray uniforms for a change and put on our white ones. We made cocoa forthe 1 crowd and the mess sergeant gave us I doughnuts. We lighted the tree andj during our party the orchestra played about half an hour. The boys enjoy-j ed it immensely. We didn’t allow and sob music but all snappy, popular stuff. After they’d all gone to sleep my night ward man hung the socks on the bed and this morning as they awakened, the first man awake gave i a yell and soon all were awake. A bunch of nurses and Red Cross work- 1 11 ers went from ward to ward singing , Christmas carols. j ( For breakfast all our lads had hot < cakes; for dinner, a regular seast —! ( turkey—etc. They fixed a table in the j f ward for those who are out of bed. * We had place cards and everything! quite classy-plenty of cigars and cigarettes for them to smoke, This v p. m. the orchestra gave a short con- j cert in each ward. Tonight there's a I movie at the recreational hall for the 2 convalescent patients. c a At the nurses mess hall we had our Christmas dinner, 6 p. m. We had tur- I key with dressing, mashed potatoes, c peas, gravy, candy, salted nuts, dates, | ! and coffee. Tonight there’s a dance' j over there but I'm on duty instead. I ] In one of cur wards we have quite i a few German prisoners. They have! decorated their end of the ward up in real Christmas style. Each fellow! has a canopy of mistletoe over his' bed and lighted candles all around it. They were singing Christmas carols tonight, and they surely can sing. They just fly around and help around the ward. When you see them sit-! ting up on a bed with a bunch of our soldiers you scarcely realize that they were fighting against each other last month. Our wards are much lighter now than they have been. We haven’t received any new patients for some time. Did I tell you that while making my night rounds the other night I ran across Sergeant Paul Myers? I wouldn’t have noticed him but he called to me. He's getting along nicely. I got a letter from Mayme the other day and intend answering it soon. How are Virgil and Muriel by this time? I have to prepare midnight lunch so will have to go. I don’t think it will be necessary to fix much tonight for no one will be hungry. As ever. J. KRICK.

■ST INCREASE FOOD EXPORTS America Called on by End of War to Supply Added Millions, — ECONOMY STILL NEEDED. Over Three Times Pre-War Shipment* Required—Situation In Wheat and Fat* Prove* Government’* Policy Sound. • With the guns in Europe silenced, ■ we have now to consider a new world food situation. But there can be no hope that the volume of our exports > can be lightened to the slightest degree with the cessation of hostilities. Millions of people liberated from the Prussian yoke are now depending upon us for the food which will keep ■ them from stnrvntfon. ' With food the United States made it possible for the forces of democracy to hold out to victory. To insure I democracy in the world, we must continue to live simply In order that we may supply these liberated nations of Europe with food. Hunger among a • people Inevitably breeds anarchy. i American food must complete the work I of making the world safe for democII j racy. ' | Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of 1 food to Europe. For the present year, i! with only the European Allies to feed, I we had originally pledged ourselves to . a program that would have Increased ■ i our exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now, , to feed the liberated nations, we will have to export a total of not less than ’ 20,000,000 toas —practically the limit > of loading capacity at our ports. Re- ■ viewing the world food situation, we , find that some foods will be obtainable I in quantities sufficient to meet all I world needs under a regime of eco- . nomical consumption. On the other ■ hand, there will be marked world • shortages in some important commodl- ; ties. Return to Normal Bread Loaf. . 1 With the enlarged wheat crops l ! which American farmers have grown, and the supplies of Australia, the Argentine and other markets now accessible to shipping, there are bread grains enough to enable the nations to return to their normal wheat loaf, • provided we continue to mill flour at • a high percentage of extraction and maintain economy in eating and the . avoidance of waste. 'i In fats there will be a heavy shortI age —about 8,000,000,000 pounds — In 1 pork products, dairy products and vegetable oils. While there will be a shortage of about three million tons In rich protein feeds for dairy ani- , mals, there will be sufficient supplies | of other feedstuffs to allow economical , consumption. In the matter of beef, the world's supplies are limited to the capacity of the available refrigerating ships. The I supplies of beef in Australia, the Argentine and the United States are sufficient to load these ships. There will be a shortage in the Importing countries, but we cannot hope to expand exports materially for the next months In view of the bottle neck in trans- ' portatlon. We will have a sufficient supply of sugar to allow normal consumption In this country if the other nations retain their present short rations or Increase them only slightly. For the countries of Europe, however, to increase their present rations to a material extent will necessitate our sharing a part of our own supplies with them. —-Twc.Tty - ■ 1 i i Os ■ "Toll* ”orTFbom Os the world total, North America will furnish more than 60 per cent. ' The United States, including the West Indies, will be called upon to furnish 20,000,000 tons of food of all kinds as compared with our pre-war exports of I about 6,000,000 tons. While we will be able to change our 1 program in many respects, even a casual survey of the world supplies In comparison to world demands shows conclusively that Europe will know famine unless the American people bring their home consumption down to the barest minimum that will main- . tain health and strength. i' I There are conditions of famine in ! Europe that will be beyond our power ito remedy. There are 40,000,000 people in North Russia whom there Is small chance of reaching with food this winter. Their transportation is demoralized in complete anarchy, and shortly many of their ports will be frozen, even If Internal transport could be realized. To Preserve Civilization. At this moment Germany hat, not alone sucked the food and animals from all those masses of people she ' has dominated and left starving, but ■ she has left behind her a total wreck- > age of social Institutions, and this mass of people is now confronted with , absolute anarchy. If we value our own safety and the J social organization of the world, if we ’ value the preservation of civilization > itself, we cannot permit growth of this . cancer in the world’s vitals. Famine is the mother of anarchy. . From the inability of governments to secure food for their people grows revolution and chaos. From an ability 1 to supply their people grows stability ; of government and the defeat of an- ; archy. Did we put it on no higher plane than our interests in the protection of our Institutions, we must bestir ourselves in solution of this problem.

BASE BALL EAMES' > May be Forbidden by Added Forces Against Sunday Picture Shows. IN LEGISLATIVE HALL l B 1 Bureau of Information to ' be Re-established—New Bills Presented. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 12 —(Spej cial to Daily Democrat) —A bill 0 which would authorize the sterilizas tion of mental defectives to prevent, h them from having children, will be ini. troduced in the house of representse tives shortly, Representative Barker j If of Boone announced today. Barker p stated that he would father the bill. e Barker announced that Representas tive Tuthill of Michigan City had e I agreed to support the bill, along with - other members of the lower house. e f Indianapolis. Ind., Feb. 12 —(Spe-j i cial to Daily Democrat) —Forces '. which have been opposing the bill 1 legalizing Sunday movi|e picture shows, have gone to the support of the Duncan bill which would repeal , ! the law permitting Sunday baseball ’ ■ games. According to sentiments ex--5 pressed by members of the senate, 1 they will not favor the Duncan bill , jin sufficient numbers to pass the • measure. The senators generally 1 regard baseball as a wholesome, f i clean sport which may be indulged in 9 ' on Sunday by young men without » harm. ' Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 12 —(Sper cial to Daily Democrat)—Opponents 1 of the Bernard garnishee bill today - ■ pointed out a “joker,” which they be- | lieve will render the measure impoLtent. The bill allows garnishment of ; a person's wages to the extent of ten , per cent, to pay bills. However, it - provides that all costs in connection ' with the garnishee action, above $5, 1 must be paid by the person, or firm seeking the garnishee. This, it is ■ j pointed out, would pennit the defend-, ! and to appeal the case to all courts. ; • j demand a trial by jury and cause other such court actions which would. ■ make the costs prohibitive for the j plaintiff. 1 ' Indianapolis, Ind.. Feb. 12 —(Spe--5 | cial to Daily Democrat) —Establishment of a legislative bureau of inforI mation by the present session of the ■ general assembly seems practically I | certain. The bureau was wiped out ’ by the 1917 session, through failure > to appropriate sufficient funds for its ■ , manitenance. A bill re-establishing ; the bureau has been passed by the senate and it is probable that it will receive favorable action in the house. The measure would place sui pervision of the bureau under the di- • ( rection of the presidents of Indiana and Purdue universities. It appro-' priates $12,000 a year for carrying ‘on the work of the bureau. Besides getting out the year book which is issued by state departments, contain- , ing annual reports of the work of of-: ! ficials, the bureau would collect and ■ classify information regarding legis-' 1 ative matters. The salary of the director of the bureau is limited to $5,600 a year. Charles Kettolbor- ' ough is now head of the year book department and has been aidipgl some legislators in drafting the bill, i I Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 12 (Spo j ; cial to Daily Democrat) —Encouragment of home gardening is proposed in a bill introduced in the lower house of the legislature by Representative Hare. The bill provides that paid instructors in gardening, agri-, culture and home economics may be employed in schools of the state. ■ The bill gives any township, school town, or school city power to employ instructors and supervisors in gardening, agriculture and home economics, twelve months in the year. BIG STRIKE OVER (United Press Service) Patterson, N. J. Feb. 12 —Striking ; textile workers here will return to |, . 1 worx tomorrow, in accordance with , an agreement reached in Washington . > by representatives of the strikers : and the mill owners, under which the' ' war labor board will intervene to set- ’ tie the dispute. | Th ewar labor board is to proceed > immediately with its investigation > and both sides have agreed to abide 1 by its decision.

MEAT PRODUCERS I OiD FULL DUTY Increase in American Hogs Will Help to Meet World Fat Shortage. FARMERS SAVE SITUATION. Government Justified In Stimulation of Pork Production—Sevenfold Increase Over PreWar Exports. Through increased production and ’ conservation we will be able this year I ;to export seven times our pre-war i average exports of pork products. 1 With the heavy demands added in car--1 ing for the millions who have been i freed from German oppression, the Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration are justified today in our every action of stimulation of hog production. In the coming year the greatest world shortage will be in fats, and pork will help to save this situation. The efficacy of the policy of stimulated production has built up in this country supplies which will enable us to supply a very large part of the fat deficiency of the world. In beef there must be a shortage in Europe, due largely to limited refrigerator ship capacity. AU freezer ships available, however, will be tilled by America, Argentine and Australia. The contribution made by the producers of this country to the war program as applying particularly to animal food products is Illustrated by th* following: Reports complied by the U. S. Department of 2\.griculture indicate an Increase in cattle of 10,238,000 head and 12,441,000 hogs. These figure* were compiled to January 1 last. In this period there was a decrease . in sheep of 819,000 head. The indications are that this decrease will show an Increase, according to recent reports. ’ Since January 1 unofficial information Indicates an increase in hogs of not less than 8 per cent, and not more than 15 per cent, as compared with one year ago, with an increase in the average weight. Following the request of the U. S. Food Administration for an increase i in hog production for marketing in the i fall of 1918 and the spring of 1919 the i increase may yield not less than 1,600,j 000,000 pounds more of pork products i than were available last year. Wltli- ' out this increase the shipping program arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food products would have been impossible. The dressed hog products during the three months ending September 30, 1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds, while for the corresponding months of 1918 the dressed hog products totaled 1,277,589,000, an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds for the quarter. During the same period for 1917 the records of inspected slaughter of ' dressed beef showed 1,263,000,000 ’ pounds as against 1,454,000,000 pounds 1 for the three month period ending I September 1, this year.
