A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

Thanksgiving is an ideal occasion
for exemplifying the food conservation
teachings; but so few are going to do
it.
There will be practically the same
oxtrayaganf Indulgence in food, which
means the cooking of more than the
entire family can possibly eat, en>
taiIing a subsequent waste.
In his Thanksgiving proclamation.
President Wilson declared that tn
country had an abundance Of foodstuffs
but should let conservation be the order
OF the day and the spirit of the times,
However, it is conclusiyely shown
that President Wilson is wrong. In a
sense, we have an abundance, but by
way of comparison we have not
Richard H. Edmonds, the editor OF
the Manufacturers Record, has delyed
into the statistical realm and brought
to light some interesting figures which
80 10 show that the Uniaed States IS
really facing a food scarcity.
The wheat crop is 150,OO0,OQO BUSH
els below the average yield for the
last five years.
There are fifteen million sheep less
than in 1903
There are nine million less beef cat
tie than in 1909.
There are five million less swine
tnan there we're year ago
And yet there has been an increase
in population and a constantly grow
ig demand for each of these staples.
In the South the situation has been
materially helped by the tendency to-
ward crop Investigation and the live
at-home policy. There are more veg
etables and less meats eaten in this
section of the country than ever be-
fore But that is not true of the en-
tire country, and in consequence as q
general proposition there is less fool
in abundance than there used to be
when the population was smaller.
Observe Thanksgiving as we are
wont to celebrate the Fourth of July
and Christmas-in safe and sane
manner. Cook what you want and
what you need, but no more
Let your patriotism prevail in tue
kitchen, as well as in public

WOMEN AND ADVERTISING.

The spending of money wisely keeps
business normal, and for patriotic
reasons, if none other, it is the duty
of women to spend money. There
fore the intelligent woman will con-
tlnue to buyy, but if she is looking
towards the betterment of her home
business she will not make impulsive
purchases. She will, first, consider
the needs of her household and then
set about making herself familiar
with the best wares the market has
10 ocer. She will get the best article
possible for the sum of money she
feels she can afford to spend on that
particular purchase.
The day a woman comes to realize
that home-making is a mighty seri-
Gus business, that day marks an ao-
och in her life, That day she rallies
to her job and sets about making
herself familiar with those products
which make for the happiness and
comfort of her home For only in
proportion as she makes the home
comfortable and spends the family
income to the best advantage will she
be doing her part in the bettermens
of her own business-that of making
= home Home-making is the wo-
mans job and it is up to her to play
square with it, If the reading of I'd
vertisements makes for better busi-
ness in the home then isn't it up TO
every woman to get in the advertise
habit" this very day
Isn't if?

THE LAB0RER IL WORTHY OF
HIS HIRE.

The Times-Recorder is sure the citi-
zens of Americas would approve a
retrenchment and sacrifice, if neces-
sary, in some other department of the
city in order that the policemen and
firemen might have an increase in
pay.
1t is next impossible to obtain al
experienced. capable man for either
department for sixty Or seventy dol
lars month, and in an emergency one
experienced fireman or policeman is
worth two or three of the other kind.
This was demonstrated at the re.
cent Lee street fire
1t is unfair to ask man, especial
ly one with family, to try to live Oh
sixty or seventy dollars a month. Be-
sides, it is practically impossible for
any man to do so.
No petition has been presented to
council asking for more pay for the
employees of these two department. but
the members Of council are all level
headed, appreciative men who under
stand the facts just as well as, if not
better than, The Times Recorder
They should act without being re-
Quested TO do so.

TREMENDOUS CROPS IN SIGHT.

When one hears on every side that
this or that article of diet is almost
unobtainable, and that the needs OF
our allies overseas are hourly grow
ing more pressing, it is refreshing to
lance through statistics that tell Of
bountiful harvests and glowing pros
rects of storehouses, piled high with
foodstuffs for ourselves and our al
lies and feedstuffs for our live stock,
In the early spring agitation favor
| ing the production of additional food
crops was commenced, and at this sea-
SON the fruits of this agitation, are
most manifest. The corn crop of 1917
is notable as occupying the largest
acreage and producing the largest to-
tai crop Of record.
The total corn production this year
| is estimated by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to be $780,,
0S3, 600 bushels The yield per acre,
however, is not exceptional owing to
an unfavorable season characterized
by late spring, a cold summer, which
WAS also too dry over much of the utrn
belt, and early and severely damaging
frosts and freezes, the season being
thus shortened at both ends Thus,
unhappily, the bountiful crop contains
much corn that did not fully mature
probably in excess Of 20 pc recent. al
though most of this had reached the
dou.h stage, making it useful for 81
los and early feeding.
The area of severe damage from
frost includes North Dakota, the
the southwestern part of Minnesota, all
i northern part of South akota, all but
Of Wisconsin, Michigan, the north
! eastern half of Iowa and the northern
third of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio,
northwestern Pennsylvania and New
| England. Lessening damage extends
/ as far south as Kansas, Missouri and
Kentucky, but in the Southeastern ami
! Gulf states, which area includes Geor-
I gia, Florida and Alabama, no damage
at all was sustained.
The potato crop, estimated at 440,-
100000 bushels, is the largest on rec
ord, Notwithstanding an unfavorable

case of the corn crop, the northern
commercial potato7producing sections
I.were most seriously affected by the
uEfavorable weather during October,
while the Georgia and Alabama potato
crops were unhurt.
The buckwheat crop of 16,S13,00
bushels, none of which is raised in the
South, fell below early forecasts, al
though it is up to an average in total
production, compared with former
gears.
FlaXseed, another grain crop raised
altogether in the states of the north
and west will amount THE year to

very disappointing to growers, being
much smaller than early forecasts, and

Grading and Laying Out of
Paths Started Today; Plan
Much Planting

Removal of debris at Front and
Mulberry streets, left there by the
Robert Grace Construction Com
pany, contractors for the new Cum
berland Valley bridge, has been
started under the supervision of the
Park Department.
The first step to clear away the
piles of dirt and stone was started
to-day. Much of the ground will be
used to continue the park, grading
it down to the level OF the subway
which is only slightly lower than
John Harris Park, south of Mulberry
street.
The sunken path and the path in
River Front Park on the level with
the street, will be continued and
Joined passing under the subway be-
tween the pier of the bridge and the
street. After the grading is finish
ed sodding and seeding will be start
ed.
Park Commissioner Gross and AS
sistant Grant Forrer have decided to
plant shrubbery around the piers
also. At Island Park much of the
cleanup work has been finished.
Piles of dirt and stone will be haul
ed away within the next two or three
weeks when seeding and sodding will
be started.
