NEED NO BREAD TICKETS
In Cas-. Of inyssiop-Fsrmers pre-
pared for Emergencies.


There Will De no necessity iOf
bread tickets OF meat diet restric-
tons in the United States, in case
Of invasion By any foreign foe, be
cause the American farmer IS pre-
pared for emergencies. This IL the
lesson drawn from al agricultural
preparedness survey just completed
by the ROCK Island Lines, as a vol
uutsry contribution 70 the movement
for industrial preparedness, inaugu-
rated by The naval consulting board.
Emergency Increases Of from 10 70
90 per cent IL the supply Of bread
sturE and pork are possible in most
Of the central Mississippi valley states
according 70 statements made by d.
recuurs Of dozen state experiment
stations, and published in the July
issue Of the Southwest TRAN, the
Rock Islands official farm magazine.
L. ". Allen, passenger traffic man
ager, who had supervision Of the work
states that the outstanding fact is
the ability Of the wheat, corn and
cotton states not only 70 sustain
themselves. but 70 furnish the bulk
o. the nations food supply and 70
make quick changes in the farming
program, should necessity arise. L
appears, further, that the nation mas
available peculiarly efficient and con
Tenieut channels for reaching the
farmer. These include state agricul-
tural colleges and experiment stations
which are supported il part bF the
national government and the county
farm adviser system. The latter is
provided for in the Smith-Lever act,
which insures appropriations Of over
$4,000 900 for a nine-year period,
with an annual continuing appro-
priation thereafter. Through these
arms the government reaches out 10
the individual farmer to enable
quick changes in crops when emer-
gencies arise.
In a summary Of the survey, at
tention is directed 10 the economic
leaks in American agriculture, such
the losses from animal diseases
estimated by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Houston at 100000 annual
ly; the shortage Of potash due TO

BIRTHS EXCEED DEATHS IN
.AUDRA|A THE LAST QUARTER
Report of State Board of Health for
July, August and Sept. Shows
More Births Than Deaths.
so BIRTHS - 81 DEATHS
Diseases of the Heart or of the Res
piratory System Caused Six of
Deaths in This County.

The report of the Missouri State
Board of Health for the months of
July, August and September, which
was issued recently, show the stork
is far ahead of the Grim Reaper
throughout the State. In no county
of the State did the death rate exceed
the birth rate in any of these three
months.
According to the latest report of the
Missouri State Board of Health, con-
tanning a record of the births and
deaths in each county of the State,
for the months of July, August and
September, the Stork is leading the
Grim Reaper in all counties of the
State by a wide margin. In no coun-
ty of the State did the death rate ex-
ceed or even equal the birth rate for
the quarter, or for any of the three
months. There were almost twice as
many births as deaths in the State and
the difference in many of the coun-
ties was even greater than that.
During those three months there
were eighty births and thirty-one
deaths recorded in Audrain county.
In July there were thirty births and
I13 deaths; in August 21 births
and eleven deaths, and in Septemb sr
twenty-nine births and seven deaths.
| Six deaths were the result of dis
eases of the heart or circulatory sys-
TEN, four were caused by cancer
three by diseases of the nervous sys-
TEN, one by diseases of the respirato-
ry system, while there were two sui
cides and one death by accident. TIL;
remaining deaths were recored as due
to "other diseases"
In the entire State there were 16,
535 births and 9,867 deaths during thu
