VROOMAN CALLS THIS
A WAR AGAINST FAMINE
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Says we May be Called on to Feed
Teutons After Peace.

A part of Americas food problem
is to make provision for helping to
feed the population of the Central
Powers after the war, according to
Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, who spoke at Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, last night on The
National Food Crisis"
IF the war ends this year, or
whenever it ends, he said, "a part
of the task of the Taited States will
be to help feed the people of Ger
many and her allies, who will assur-
eddy be in dire need when they stop
fighting"
Mr.. Vrooman had just come from
a tour of the Southern and South
western States, where he was sent by
the Department of Agriculture to
urge greater food production. He
said the department had been assur-
ed by the FARMERS of the South and
West that they would add 20 per
cent. to their normal production OF
crops. He advised Southern farmers
to raise less tobacco and more grain.
Mr.. Vrooman said that the pros
poets for big wheat crop in the
United States were poor; he also
said that Argentine would have a
small crop. He expected the United
States Government to follow the lead
of European Governments in pre-
scribing war bread" that is bread
that used al of the wheat. He esti-
mated this would mean a~saying OF
from 100000 to 50,000,000Nbush-
els of wheat a year in America. :
with the farmers of the United
States doing their part to better the
food situation he said, lit is the
part of the city jewellers to help by
conserving the supply"
He said 100000 a year in food
was wasted in the kitchens of the
United States, and urged the house
wives to practice economy in food
and to teach their cooks to practice
economy.
THE average American when he
goes into a restaurant orders enough
food for three persons" he said, just
because he can pay for it,
He asked that moderation be prac-
ticed by persons who ate in restau-
rants as we'll as those who ate at
home. incidentally he took fling
at Colonel Roosevelt.
lone great American" he said,
has told us that we would have a
million men ready to fight the in
slant we went to war. Another great
American wants to take 100000 men
to France and lead them to battle"
Here there were loud cheers for
Colonel Roosevelt. But Mr.. Vroo-
man said:
For them, unframed, to be led to
fight by a man unframed in war as
it is waged today would be murder
nothing else 1t shall not be
done"
He said he expected the United
States to- send an army to France
within nine or ten months.

NO FANCY DRESSERS
AROUND IN GERMANY
All on Clothes Rations-Three-And
a-Quarter Yards For Suit or Dress.

Berlin, (Via London), April 20
New regulations for putting the Ger
man people on clothes rations went
into force on April /. They go into
considerable detail concerning the
number of garments which citizens
may possess and even specify the
amount of cloth which may be used
for making suits and dresses.
The following list of adequate
wardrobes for men and women Of
ficially is fixed and no supply beyond
this limit may henceforth be pur-
chased:
For Men-One everyday suit, one
Sunday suit, one overcOat or cape,
two smocks or jerseys, two waist
coats, two pairs working trousers,
two pairs overalls, one pair winter
gloves, six handkerchiefs, three
shirts, three suits underclothes, two
nightgowns and four pairs stockings.
For Women - Two everyday
dresses, one Sunday dress, one extra
shirt, two blouses, one cloak or cape,
one shawl, one dressing gown, three
aprons, one pair winter gloves, six
handkerchiefs, four chemises, three
nightgowns, three suits of upderclo-
thing, three petticoatS and four pairs
stockings.
Both men and women are limited
to three pairs of shoes, one pair of
house slippers, three pillow cases,
two sheets, two blankets, one elder
down, three towels, two kitchen tow
els and three busting towels. Both

The Consumption Act

The CONSUMPTION bill has passed,
by majorities of ten and fifteen to
one, within three weeks of the deela-
ration of war and after less than a
week of debate on the floor in Con-
gress.
The occasion calls less for ebulli-
ent elation than for deep thankful
ness. No harder test could be made
of the efficiency of republican gov
eminent than has been met here. The
United States goes on record before
the world not only as determined to
prosecute the war. with vigor, but
also as determined to make not a
single mistake that experience and
foresight and system can help it to
avoid. We have never before taken
at once such an attitude toward the
business of war No democratic ma
ton has ever taken its like at once.
Upon Europe the passage of this
act will have impressive effect. The
effect on us is likely to prove Eiagi-
cal. There are thousands anu thou
sands of peep;e in this~country who
are still rubbing their eyes and try
ing to convince themselves that our
entrance into the war is a fact and
not a dream. There are many more
thousands who have been unable to
see how we could possibly get at
Germany and therefore regard the
state of war we are in as more or
less academic. To all such here is
the manifestation of the practical
fact. The mighty machine of the
nation has been set going. And yet
this step is simply the most sensa-
tional among great many-that must
be taken. The immensely of the
task of the scientific and practical
mobilization of the; forces of coun-
try with traditions and habits such
as ours almost takes ones breath
away England is organized, but
she organized slowly. Germany or
ganized quickly, but she was able to
do so only because the subordination
of the individuaI-to the Government
was a normal condition. We are ap-
preaching the business in the face of
all our cherished ideas of the indi-
vidual's freedom of action, without
compulsion, but in clear and practi-
cal recognition of the fact that this
is the best way of waging war. The
! President is responsible for this.
! His outright acceptance of the the
! DRY that this is the time for expert
ence and system and science to take
control of the Government and for
politics to help and not lead, and
| the manner in which he has given
practical force to this theory by him
self becoming simply the spokesman
for his experts, brings him fairly
within the little coterie of Americans
whose fame is imperishable.-Bal

A deal has been closed whereby
Walter Caple has sold his farm near

ALMA WILL HAVE
A POLICE FORCE
Oscar Vibber has Appointment
as Chief of Police and Will
Have Three Men.

At a meeting of the city council
Tuesday night, Oscar Vibber, for sew
eral years the highly efficient deputy
marshal and nightwatch of the city of
Alma, was given a well deserved pro.
motion through the hands of Mayor
Ira II. Mckinney and the council
Vibber being made city marshall as
chief of police.
Immediately after the meeting
started Mayor Mckinney made the
appointment and it was confirmed
unanimously by the council
1t is understood that the appoint
ment of Nibber as marshal, or chief
OF police, is the starting towards a
police force in this city. 1t is said
that .Nbber will be succeeded in his
night duties by three officers, giving
the city much greater protection at
night than ever before, as it must be
acknowledged that, while Vibber was
highly efficient. he could not do as
much as may be expected from three
men.
Last might the council adopted a
new ordinance, which provides for a
police force. The ordinance goes into
effect October 3rd. The city will have
three night policemen. Chief of Po-
lice Oscar Vibber will have charge
of the work during the day. Under
the ordinance Special Officer james r.
Campbell ceases to be such October
2nd.

WHAT DRAFT SHOWS
Many Cases of tuberculosis Were
Found in the State.

What will the average Michigan
county do with the men who are pro
nounced tubercular by the examin-
ers for the various draft boards ? This
problem is a by-product of the draft.
TO which little attention as vet has
been paid. A certain number of young
men are being turned down by the
local boards because they are tuber-
eular, and it is quite certain that
more VIII be thrown out later at the
environments, because there they will
be subjected to an examination by tu
berculosis specialists who will dis
cover those cases that elude the draft
physicians.
Not a very large proportion of the
counties in Michigan have as vet a
tuberculosis sanitarium. There is no
special place to which these young
men affected with tuberculosis in the
early Stages may be sent. Most of
them will have to shift for themsel-
yes as best they can The Michigan
Arti-tuberculosis association declares
that the county that has such an in
stitution will have a splendid oppor-
tunity to strike a blow against this
disease by gathering as many of these
men in as possible and caring for
them. Very many will be in such
shape they can easily be cured.
1t is believed that the data gath
cred from the examinations for the
draft will serve as a practical addi
tion to the data collected i'm the re-
cent state tuberculosis survey. In
that survey thousands of cases were
put on record, but the majority were
of women and children. Now a great
many cases of young men will be tab
ulated. giving information about that
class of the states population, max |
ing the statistics cover more evenly
all classes.
The state tuberculosis association
i urging strongly that all counties
that have not yet done so should get
busy with the erection of tubercu-
Iosis sanitarium as war measure.
These institutions were never more
needed than right now.

ITHACA FIRST
High School Football Season Will
Open With Ithaca

The Alma high school football sea
son will be formally ushered in next
week Friday, with the Ithaca high
school team playing the locals on
Davis field
Coach M. r. Kimball is working
hard to get the orange and black team
in shape, but has a hard proposition
or his hands because of the number
of green men out for the eleven and
also because of the few veterans who
are on hand to aid the high school
mentor with their experience.
From the present outlook not over
sly old men will be out for the team
in time to get into the opening game
against the county seaters, and it
will take lot of hard pounding dur
ing the next few days to get the bunch
to look much like good football
team.
Coach Kimball has only eighteen
men out so far Which is also proving
a big handicap, as it makes scrim-
images almost impossible, or at best
very unsatisfactory, as il makes il
hard to get a good line on the capa-
bilities of the men. much more SO
than when there are men enough for
two teams.
Little is known of the merits of

HEAVY FROST
Frosts First Two Nights of Week
Damaged Crops Greatly.

Heavy frosts Sunday and Monday
nights, of this week, proved disastrous
for many of the farmers Of Gratiot
county, who sustained great damage
to their crops from the early, but
none the less heavy frosts, which
nipped many crops.
Beans and corn were probably the
heaviest sufferers from the frost
which seemed to have hit all through
this part Of the state and through the
northern sections of Michigan. Po-
tatoes are also reported to have been
heavily damaged in some sections in
the northern part of the state. Other
late crops are also reported TO have
been hard hit by the frosts.
