CATHOLIC BOYS JOIN WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

Girls, Too, Will Stand With Them Behind Every Fighter at the Front. To put behind every Catholic fighter in France the support of one boy or girl in every parish throughout the United States is the plan of tlie National Catholic War Council for .backing tlie Victory Boys’ and Victory Girls’ ?‘Earn and Give” Division of the United Work War Campaign to raise $170,500,-000 “for tlie boys over there” during the week of November 11-18. Through diocesan, county and parish organizations, the rallying of one youngster for every man who has gone to war in every community is already under way. By their own earnings, and not by contributions, it is expected that these sturdy little sponsors for the boys abroad will each raise at least five dollars for the joint welfare work of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council, including the Knights of Columbus, War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board, American Library Association and Salvation Army. Boys and girls in every Catholic parish throughout the United States are already being picked to represent each fighting man who has left their church for the front. In every home that flies a service flag little brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, are eagerly volunteering to look out for the share of their family fighter in the huge joint welfare campaign for all the boys abroad.

HUNS ARE STARVING

ITALIAN HIGHWAYS CHOKED BY HUNGRY TROOPS. . * Defeated Soldiers Wander Blindly and Leaderless Through Italy—Eat Carcasses of Horses. With the Italian Army at Trent, Nov. B.—Amid the rejoicing of this redeemed city scenes of destruction and starvation are common as one passes over the roads over which tlie Italian troops are trying to pass tlie thousands of Austrian prisoners who were cut off by tlie Italians southwest of Belzano. Every road leading up to tills city is crowded with men and on every hand there are evidenced of the collapse of one of Europe’s mightiest armies. The horrors of Napoleon's retreat from Russia, it is said by military observers, were trifling compared with the sufferings of tlie Austrian troops in this region. Great masses of men wait for long hours to move a few feet or a few hundred yards, to halt anew on a road littered with tlie carcasses of horses and with cannon, pieces of shields, pistols, rifles, broken down auto trucks and machine guns. There is no swearing among these men. Tlier are even moments of profound quiet broken by snatches of songs. Italian soldiers seem positively sorry that the end of the war is approaching. They say: “What’s a few months more, now that we are sure of victory.” Many Austrians are dying from sheer fatigue and starvation, and not wounds. The Italians are doing all they can to hurry up supplies. This is difficult, and in tlie meantime dead horses are eaten, tlie flesh being cooked by the toadside by fires kindled by the soldiers. Large bodies of Austrians are helpless. The correspondent passed between Rovereto and Trent, a distance of 16 miles, an unending column of men marching, none knew whither. They asked orders from an officer who was with the correspondent. When asked if they knew about the armistice they said: “We want food. Food is the only thing we are interested in. We are indifferent to war and peace and death—everything but food."

OFFICIAL FOOD NEWS

By Dr. Harry E. Barnard,

Food Administrator for Indiana.

The usual fall decline in market prices of poultry is due to large receipts of immature and poorly flashed chickens, scarcity of labor and inadequate refrigerating space. A heavy marketing of moulting hens also has a depressing effect on the market. Producers may assist in stabilizing the poultry market by withholding immature chickens and moulting hens and by extending the normal period of fall marketing well into the winter. Owing to a misunderstanding of the resolution relative to the preferred classification of agricultural lime, the following statement of R. S. Baker, assistant priorities commissioner, is made public: “The state official having supervision of agricultural production or soil conservation (in Indiana the director of extension, Purdue University) may supervise without direction or permit from this division the distribution of burned ' lime and ground limestone for agricultural purposes, and any manu/acturer, producer or dealer in burned lime er ground limestone may supply such products for agricultural purposes under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by sach director.” The rapid manufacture of the new

pATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918

crop beet sugar in tne Wesft and new% crop Louisiana cane sugar in the* South together with the frtfer railway transportation conditions, the reductions that we have made in the consumption of sugar In the manufacture trades and the patriotic conservation in the past four months, enables us to increase the household allowance of sugar from two pounds per person per month to three pounds per person per month, with the same ratio to public eating places, as from November Ist. This makes good our promise to increase the household allowance of sugar at the earliest possible moment that our supplies would justify and make it possible for the householder to more freely use the apple, cranberry and grapefruit products and to use the fruits canned during the summer without sugar. The regulations are also revised to the extent that any person may purchase his whole monthly allowance at one time if he so desires, that is, any family may purchase a month’s supply for the entire family in one purchase from the retail trades. The temporary cessation of the cereal movement of the country due to stoppage of exports to secure army tonnage, has caused a greater ability for internal transportation than would® otherwise be the ease, and we do -not 4 - feel that with ability to make distribution we have any right to hold supplies for the householders. We areconfident that we can continue on this basis for some months to come from, the supplies which we have in prospect. Cuba’s crop is promised transportation, so that with these conditions we should be able to maintain allied supplies. Make no changes in classes A B and D. (These include manufacturers of food products, bottlers, etc.) Now, when we have need for every ounce of food that can be put into form for human consumption, it is the soundest economy to let young turkeys live through the fall bug-and-seed-hunting season. A young gobler that weighs "ten pounds in October will weigh twelve or thirteen pounds sixty days later If given a little extra feed along toward the end of that period. A hen in the same time will fill out from seven pounds to nine or ten,. Such satisfactory gains can be made at no other time. The U. S. Food Administration suggests that in order to take advantage of this favorable season, no young turkey hens weighing less than six pounds dressed, be marketed.

The retail section of the distribution of perishables of the United States food administration has Just issued a modified regulation which states that any advance in cost in excess of seven or eight cents per dozen of eggs will be considered evidence of violation of the rule restricting profits to reasonable figures. The seven cents represents the maximum for stores conducting the cash and carry t plan and eight cents for the extra service stores. In allowing also, to the retailer, fractional charges, the food administration asserts that it has taken into consideration the rising costs of operation. Effective about the middle of November, the United States railroad administration has indicated its purpose to increase the track storage charge for perishables held in cars beyond the free demurrage period of forty-eight hours, to $lO per day. The practice of using cars for worehouses. and vending purposes, the food administration is assured, “can not be too strongly condemned,” in view of the present transportation situation. Where violations are flagrant and wilful the railroad administration asks a statement of the facts for a more appropriate punishment of the offenders. Dealers who are averaging costs of fresh and cold storage butter; to their own pecuniary benefit are warned in a special ortler just promulgated by the United States food administration against such practice. Neither fresh or cold storage butter may be sold by licensees at more than a reasonable advance over cost and each must be figured separately. -
