The latter says that he has been "nearly across’’ many times on escort duty, but was always met near the other shore by British destroyers who took their precious convoy from them to pilot ashore. He says how close they went he was never able to' learn as this information was only for the captain in commend, or other high officers.

Hugh Lory, whose left leg was broken is getting along as well as could be expected at his home near Winamac, Ind. The bridges in this community are not wide enough even for two Fords to pass. This fact will be attested by Turdette Roush and one of the Hotler boys who tried it Sunday afternoon on the dredge ditch bridge two miles east of Kentland, and as a result each lost the wheel caps on the left, side of their car. No oher damage was done other than a good scare. Last week Pauline Cooke -was in Indianapolis and was "took” in the Christmas film that city made up for the Indianapolis boys, especially for base hospital No. 32 that are ‘"over there,’’ Now imagine what Raymond. Cooke, who is the motion picture’ machine operator for Base 32, will say when he sees Pauline’s smiling countenance on the screen. Won’t that be a dandy Christmas present? There are only a few cases of Spanish influenza in Goodland and they are under control by the local physician. The patients at this time are Mary Watt and mother, Mrs. Charles Burgess, Mrs. Martha Capes and daughter, L. A. Dickinson and family and the infant baby of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Lowe and Lois Rich.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Mis. C. V. Hamacher Writes Interesting- Letter From Texas. El Paso, Texas, Nov. 21, 1918. Editor Babcock, Dear Sir:-—Am Writing -to have you change the address of my paper from Cuervo, New Mexico, to El Paso,* Texas, 807 N. Kansas St. Have not received the last few papers and I miss the old Jasper county news. I have enjoyed very much the letters from our boys in service. My brother, Fermon Schultz, is in the service in France, but I have noP heard from him since. September 6. El .Paso is a pretty city and the weather here is grand. Everything is nice and green. I am out here for my health. It certainly is an ideal place for sick people and there are a lot of them here, to©. The influenza has been quite bad and has spread again considerably after the “peace’’ celebration here. Fort Bliss is still undpr quarantine. I’ve gained 16 pounds in two months so you see the..climate here agrees with me. We were on a government claim in New Mexco with my. husband’s fatn'er for a month. I don’t like the prairies, or deserts, rather. I would 'rather have a sandhill on my Daddy’s farm than a whole 320 acre government claim. You can at least raise soup beans on the sandhills in good old Jasper. It is awful hard to raise a slim half crop of “mile ’o maze’’ Cane, and freeholders (Mexican beans), or Sudan grass, and it takes acres and acres to graze just a few cattle. They call it dry land farming, and if they get a little snow during the winter months, they get out with a sort of plow and do what they call “listing” (plowing the snow under), and the ground holds the moisture longer. Many

claims are given up because the people can’t make a living and the means of educating the children is so poor. Of all the country I’ve seen in my traveling this far, nothing or none of it compares with our dear old 'Hoosier State.. It will be a happy day for us when “Our Boys’’ come home. "Got wasn’t with the Old Kaiser” after all, was He? Wish I was one of the U. S._ A. boys marching toward Berlin so I could sing with them, “Hail! Hail! the Gang’s All Here.” Greeting to all my friends in .Jasper. • .MRS. C. V. HAMACHER. Editor’s Note—Mrs: Hamacheir is a daughter of August R. Schultz, a well known German farmer of Union township.

WHEAT SHOWED SPIRIT OF U. S.

Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf Greatest Single Food Achievement. SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW. All the Nations Will Be Able to Return to Their Normal Supply of White , Bread. \ Overshadowing, all other accomplishments of the American people under the leadership of Food Administration is the history of wheat exports in the past sixteen months. Our wheat export program proved conclusively to the world that America was in this war from start to finish and willing to make any sacrifice that will hasten victory or maintain the health and strength of people overseas, upon whom rested the heaviest weight of our war. * Now that pressure'on ocean tonnage is eased by the stopping of large movements of troops to Europe, we may relax oqr efforts to save wheat. The accumulated surplus in Australia, Argentine and other hitherto inaccessible markets will become available, and probably no more than our normal surplus will have to leave this country. We in America and the nations which have won the world for freedom will be enabled to eat their normal wheat loaf at the common table of the peoples of democracy. We entered the past crop year with a wheat supply which gave ,us only 20,000,000 bushels available for export. When the crop year ended, we had sent 141,000,000 bushels of wheat to Europe. The American people had saved out of their normal consumption 121,000,000 bushels.

A survey of.export figures shows that the conservation of flour brought about by the wheatless meals, wheatless days, substitution in our kitchens and bakeries, enabled us to send to our armies and the allies 33,000,000 barrels of white flour —wheat figured as flour. Had we exported only our visible surplus, we would have been able to ship less than 4,500,000 barrels. Before the Ist of December our surplus had gone overseas, and an additional 36,000,000 bushels had been taken from the stock reserved for home consumption and added to the surplus already shipped to the allies. It seemed hardly possible that we could bring our total exports above 100,000,000 bushels by July 1. But in January the late Lord Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that unless we could send an additional 75,000,000 bushels he could not take responsibility for assuring his people that they would be fed. The American people responded by sending 85,000,000 bushels of wheat, saved from their home consumption, between the the year and the advent of the new crop. By October 10, 1918, we had already shipped 65,960,305 bushels since July 1. Absolutely the only limitation upon our wheat exports since the latest harvest has been the scarcity of ocean tonnage. If 'exports continue at the present rate, by July 1 of next year we will have sent more than 237,500,000 bushels to Europe. Thus are.we making good America’s pledge that the bread rations of Allied Europe shall be maintained.

A Memorable Achievement of the Titanic Struggle

America saved and sent to Europe In a year of crop failure 141,000,000 bushels of wheat, which saved Europe.

A GERMAN HOPE DISPROVED AND A GERMAN FEAR CONFIRMED

A statement made by a prominent German official soon after this country was declared in a state of war with Germany shows that even in the enemy country clear thinking students did not undervalue the strength of the American republic. Only in his confidence that we could not land in Europe sufficient troops to affect the final decision was this German mistaken. “I do not fear the American soldiers,” he told a high official of our government, “because they cannot arrive in time. What I fear is the Intelligence and devotion of, one hundred million original minds and people trained to a faith in.individual initiative. Theday that these people, now so materialistic in outward appearance; —are stirred spiritually, that day is the day of Germany's doom.” •Je «£•

PEACE ADDS TO U. S. FOOD TASK

Europe Needs Nearly Double Last Year’s Supplies From ; America. ECONOMY MUST CONTINUE. World Survey Shows Sufficient Wheat, * But Shortage of Fats—Government’s Stimulative Program Justified. With the return of peace America is confronted by a food problem even harder of solution than that with which’we coped in time of war. We have an entirely new world situation in food. It will mean essential changes in our domestic program. But more important than this, it must of necessity require increased export. Last year we shipped 11,820,000 tons of foodstuffs to the European Allies. Had the war continued we. would have increased this enormous figure to 17,550,000 tons in the present year. Now, with the responsibility of feeding milions of people liberated from the German yoke, our exports must be brought up to at least 20,000,000 tons—practically the limit of loading capacity at our ports. World Food Demand Increased. The end of the war will create an enormously increased demand for food. Humanity demands that the starving millions freed from Prussian oppression sljall have sufficient supplies, to assure their return to health and prosperity. If these liberated nations are faced with starvation they cannot establish orderly governments. Hunger breeds anarchy in a people. The war to free the world for democracy will be lost after it has been won. America must continue its work to liberation and by sharing its food make democracy safe lathe world. In order to m'eet this new situation the- Food Administration has made a careful survey of the flood resources of the whole world in relation to the total demands. Computing supplies on the basis of the avoidance of waste and war consumption, it is found that wheat an,d rye may be obtained in sufficient quantities to meet economical world consumption; high protein feed for dairy animals will show a shortage of about 3,000,000 tons, while there will be sufficient supplies of other feeds to allow economical consumption ; beans, peas and rice will also be found in sufficient quantities to maintain economy in consumption; there are sufficient supplies of beef to keep pace with the capacity of refrigerating space.

Great Fat Shortage. The most distinct reversal of policy will cpme with pork and dairy products, vegetable oils, sugar and coffee. Utmost economy- will be required in the use of fats and oils, in which there is a world shortage of about 3,000,000,000 pounds. Tnere are sufficient supplies for us to return to our normal sugar consumption if other nations continue their .present short rations, or even if their rations are slightly increased. If the European countries, however, are to resume their normal sugar consumption it will be through our continued conservation in order to share with them. There is a surplus of coffee. Of the world total required to produce these results North America will furnish more than 60 per cent. The United States, including the West Indies, will be in a position to furnish a total of about 20,000,000 tons—against our pre-war exports of about 6,000,000 tons. The bread grains situatiofi allows the world to abandon the use of substitutes in wheat bread. Large supplies have accumulated in the Argentine, Australia and other hitherto inaccessible markets. A continued high milling percentage, economy of consumption and elimination of waste make It possible for the world to return to a white wheat loaf. Of all our export possibilities in fats, the largest and most important item is pork. While we cannot supply the world deficiency, we will be- able to help it enormously because of the past policies of stimulating production and restraining consumption. The government’s policy with regard to stimulating the production of wheat and of pork, the readiest source of fats, is thus amply Justified by the situation upon the return of peace. Famine Specter Still Stalks. The people of the United States must continue care and wise economy in the use of food in order to complete the work of liberating the world. But even with the utmost conservation and production in this country there will be in Europe fpr the next year or more starvation beyond all human power to allay. In North Russia there are 40,000,000 people to whom food cannot be made accessible this winter. Their transportation is demoralized In complete anarchy. And even if internal transport can be assured their ports of entry would soon be frozen. Millions more who have felt keenly the oppression of war will be beyond reach of assistance. We must realize that upon our shoulders rests ‘a greater responsibility than we have ever before been asked to assume. We must realize that miUjjpns of lives- depend absolutely upon the continued service and sacrifice of the American people. We must realize that the specter of famine abroad now haunts the abunduuce of our table at home.
