FIGURES SHOW NATIONS
BURDEN FEEDING The WORLD
Every Article of Food Sent From
The United States to Europe Runs
High Up Into the Millions.

Americas burden of feeding the
world is emphasized by a food adj
ministration report that during April
wheat exports increased from H.
392,788 bushels, as a monthly aver
age for the preceding nine months,
to 14,233,013 bushels. Even the
smaller nine months figures repre-
sent 81 per cent. increase, as COM
pared with the three-year pre-war
period (1912-1914).
Beef exports, which had shown a
comparative gain of $50 per cent. in
the nine months average over the
pre-war period, increased from 49,
295,972 pounds to 48,211,592.
Sugar, which had shown a 1900
per cent. increase in the nine months
period, decreased in April from the
average Of 1913, 486,176 pounds to
80, 283,738 pounds.
A notable decrease was in fish ex-
ports. The average of 15,122,474
pounds exported in the nine months
period dropped to 7,544,877 pounds
for April.

being made of all samples submitted.
The department will cooperate also
with the national pure food bureau,
to the end that the people of Georgia
may be given the best possible ser
vice.
Commissioner Brown has instruct
ed the pure food department that the
pure food laws must be positively en-
forced. Foods not meeting the re-
quirements of the law will be con-
demned, and where occasion calls for
it the laws will be enforced by pros

MAY STOP EXPORTS OF
FOOD FOR SIXTY DAYS
Uncle Sam Desires Time to Make a
Complete Survey of Supply Prob
lem. Recent Rise in Prices.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The re-
cent heavy purchases of American
foodstufs by foreign countries, both
allied and neutral, were considered
today by the exports council. Some
members, it is understood, favor a
complete embargo on food shipments
for a period of sixty days to give
the United States time to make a
survey of its supplies and to permit
foreign governments to give defin-
lite estimate of their requirements.
Responsibility for the recent rise
IN corn prices and the sympathetic
rise IN the price of wheat is laid to
heavy neutral purchases Reports
that this government would restrict
wheat shipments as one of it's first
moves in putting the export control
act into operation caused the neu-
trails, it is said, to turn to corn with
a consequent sharp jump in quota
tiOns.

CAN FRUIT FOR
TALLULAH SCHOOL
DAWSON WOMAN'S CLUB CO.
OPERATES WITH HOME ECO
Monies DEPARTMENT.

The News, at the request of the
Dawson Woman's Club, publishes the
following, which should appeal to all
women belonging to the federation
of woman's clubs:
GAS chairman of the department
of home economics of the federation
and in view of the increase in the
cost of running our beloved feder-
alton school, | want to ask every
club woman to put up one can or
jar of ruit or vegetables, or any
thing that is good and she finds
pleasure in making, for Tallulah Falls
school. Mark it and set it aside until
early in the fall when we will have
a Tallulah school day and every club
collect the cans or jars belonging to
its membership and pack and ship to
our school Just think what that
would mean; enough to practically
feed the school for year.
Now this doesn't mean that the
regular cIuD DONATION OF money won t
be just as necessary as ever, for the
teachers must be paid and the other
many expenses of the school must
be met, and every expense has nee
essarily increased under the existing
conditions. Our shower is to be a
free will offering which will be a
minimum expense to the individual
club woman, but saving of at least
one thousand dollars to the school
and clubs. l hope this movement
will meet an enthusiastic response
in the hearts Of every club in the
state and that Tallulah school pan
tries will be full of nourishing and
tempting foods for the precious
mountain children that we as fed
Grafton are trying so hard to help.

BROWN APPOINTS
FOOD INSPECTORS
THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRI-
CULTURE SAYS THIS TYPE OF
LAWS MUST BE ENFORCED.

Complete reorganization of the
pure food division of the state de-
partment of agriculture, necessitated
by the fact that the work had long
since outgrown the capacity of one
man, has already produced important
results.
Formerly Pure Food Inspector P.
A. Methvin was supposed to have the
assistance in making inspections of
foods and feeds, Of the six long term
fertilizer inspectors, when the ferti-
hzer season was over. Interesting in
theory, this plan never worked out
IN practice, as these inspectors rem
dered little, if any service, to the
food department.
Realizing the necessity for prop
er food inspection, Commissioner ].
). Brown has appointed three in
spectors especially detailed to this
department, and schooled in the laws
governing foods and their sale. These
inspectors have already begun a sys-
tematic tour Of the state in which,
before they finish, they will take in
everyone of the 1892 cities, towns
and villages in Georgia, post dealers
and manufacturers as to the food
laws, take samples wherever neces-
sary and cooperate completely with
all local sanitary and health authori
ties. The food department is thus
prepared to render any assistance
necessary to any community desiring
it.

Usually, though, Cholera gets in

The State Council
OF Defense
PLANS TO MEET
EMERGENCY LABOR PROBLEM

An urgent appeal to all men, women,
boys, and girls, not otherwise en-
ployed in necessary labor during the
war, to furnish their services in the
production of food and manufactures
for the people and armies of this coun-
try and our allies, is being made by
the State Council of Defense, under
the authority granted to it by the leg
lslature. Plans for a statewide en-
ployment bureau to direct workers to
the proper tasks were announced re-
Gently.
All agencies for the recruiting and
employment of labor in the state will
be under the direction of the State
Industrial Commission which cooper
ate with the farm labor specialists of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
detailed for service in Wisconsin. To
assist the commission, the council has
appointed without compensation, J. r.
Commons, as assistant to the indus
riatl commission, H. c. Taylor, as state
farm agent, A. L. Goddard, SIS state
factory labor agent, and L. E. Reber,
as state director of Boys camps.
Each County Defense Council will
appoint, under the direction of the
state farm labor agent, county lab
or agent who will probably be, where
ever practicable, the county agricul-
tural representative or the emergency
food agent. In cities where the In
dustrial Commission conducts employ
ment offices, the labor agents will use
these offices.
The County labor agent will in turn
appoint in each trade center and tele-
phone exchange, local labor agent.
Beginning May 26, the county and loo
al agents will keep regular office hours
Through these officers, and others
appointed for special tasks, the State
Council of Defense, will be able to
keep track of all surplus labor and all
requests for labor, and to carry out
the work of finding tasks for all those
who wish to serve. The Industrial
Commission, through the state director
of boys camps, will supervise the en-
ployment of all boys organized into
such camps.

country, the middle western states,
tell their tale of patriotism by the
number of men who are enlisting for
army service in time of war. Recent
~ General Holway of Wisconsin, in a
public statement, placed Wisconsin
ahead of all other states in this par
ticular.
A ray of sunshine strikes the high
cost of living upon learning that 1884,
222 meals served by the Gospel Mis-
sion of this city, last year, averaged
71a cents each. According to the
published report, these meals were
palatable and wholesome and during
the same period the Mission main
tanned a free bread line that gave
sustenance to 1856 men and boys.
The same paper states that Joe Letter,
President of the Army League, re-
Gently cleaned up three million dollars
in wheat on the Chicago Board of
Trade. If this report is true, the
should take action on
such speculative methods particular
ly at this time.

Military Drill At Normal School

VIM. Brill, Second Lieutenant of
the Wisconsin University Corps of
Cadets, commenced Tuesday to di-
rect the normal school students in
military drill for the next three
weeks. Mr.. Brill is a member Of the
company which won the Sophomore
competition at Madison. During the
Mexican trouble he was with the
Illinois signal corps on the border.
He has acquired practical knowledge
of soldier life and he is we'll quail
fed to direct the military work mere
Athletic schedules have been cancel
ed during the period of military
drill.
Lieutenant Brill's stay here fur
nishes this city with a grand oppor-
tunity to raise a local guard COM
pany and secure for River Falls a
permanent militia headquarters or
armory. There are great number
Of young men in this vicinity who
should be willing and anxious to
grasp this opportunity to enlist in
service for their country. The need
is pressing. and none who are elig-
ible should wait for draft. The or
ganization of local guard u
would give the boys Of this vicinity
an opportunity to serve together in
stead of being separated in various
companies organized in other COM
