piano and violin solos; Mrs. Snyder
also gave some pretty vocal solos. A
vocal solo by Mrs. Eva King was very
pleasing.

placed on the collection plate as
result of the 81 contribution. Dainty
refreshments were served.
The president, Mrs. Patterson. then
expressed her appreciation for the
royal manner in which the society had
entertained the officers: also for the
hearty manner In which the mem-
bers' responded to the dollar contri-
button. She declaret that though the
society Was small In number the
spirit was very larGe and never bet

The real reason why near-famine
conditions now prevail is that great
quantities Of rye have been used by
the farmers for fodder for thei-
STOCK. NORMALLY, the empire pro-
duces one million tons (metric or
long tons) of fodder barley annual
ly. This is augmented by imports of
three millions tons addition and
about one million tons of corn. The
outbreak of the war during harvest
time, cut off these imports. The
farmers. secure in the boasts vi the
government that there was won
derful reserve supply of food, fed
their rye to their stock. And, to
make matters worse, many farmers
fed hundreds of tons of potatoes to
their stock which should have been
preserved. Then the Russians in
vaded Prussia the granary Of the ma
ton, and put to the torch, thousands
of barns simply bursting with grain.
