The UNITED STATES
COULDN'T Be STARVED
Figures Show That Our Food
Production Runs Ahead
of Population.

One worry of the fighting nations
need not keep the United States
awake, the National Chamber of
Commerce finds. The report of the
Committee on Statistics and Stand
ards, recently published, proves that
no matter how severe a blockade
might be drawn about the country
1t would be impossible to starve
American stomachs into capitula-
tiop.
II would be necessary TO get along
without importations of coffee, tea
and cocoa, but all these are classed
by the committee as Injuries.
The most impressive point, the
committee says, is that while the
population of the country has in
creased 200 per cent. in half CEN
fury its food production has been
increasing in that same period from
$50 TO 5000 per cent in prime com
modities.
The most important product
wheat-has increased in production
500 per cent. and corn 270 per cent.
The production of rice shows the
greatest increase, being 5000 per
cent. Oats and Irish potatoes have
increased in production AS per
cent. and $50 per cent. respectively.
The importation of Injuries is
held TO be entirely a question Of
taste. and our extensive use of them
an evidence of our ability TO crafty
this taste and not a matter of neces-
sity. In case of stress we could well
get along without them, as was gen.
orally done in the South during the
Civil War, which is a different prop
osition from not raising enough
wheat for our own use and trying to
get along without that.
A definite proof of surplus produc-
tion Of agricultural products beyond
our needs, according to the report,
is the fact that each year we carry
from the former harvest into the
succeeding harvest from 20 to %
per cent. of the yield of the princi-
pal cereals. Chicago Herald.

4 Candy Catch.

After a long day spent on the
broiling bank of a little stream in
quest Of anything that would swal-

man came YEARLY home.
Resolving to make the best of his
experience he assumed an attitude
of swelling pride as he displayed,
lonely on the string, single little
fish.
'Aint that the candy?" he cried.
"Candy is just what it is" the
wife replied, dryly.

This estimate-which included all
