WAR ACTIVITIES
IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Nov. 24.-The popula-
ton of the city of Washington has
increased at least 1000 since the war
began. 1t is natural that the capital
city, the center of governmental ac-
tivities, should shove this marked eff
feet of the most extensive prepara-
ton for war ever undertaken by any
country. A steady stream of new ap-
pointees to the great civilian army
pours into the city; the streets hum
wit Inactivity; everybody is busy and
earnest; on every hand are the sure
signs of a competent organization
with fixed purpose.
At the request of the United States
Civil Service Commission the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce has un-
dertaken the work of directing to
suitable rooming and boarding places
the new arrivals who are not &C.
quainted in the city. Hundreds of de-
sirable rooms, with or without board,
are listed, and at very moderate
rates. Application for accommoda-
tons can be made by new appointees
through correspondence before leav-
ing home or by calling at the offices
of the Washington Chamber of Com
merce, No. Gil Twelfth street, N. W.,
upon their arrival in Washington.
Stenographers and typewriters
make up large part of the additions
to the force at Washington. Thou
sands have been appointed and thou
sands more are needed. Ship drafts
men for the navy department, me-
chanical craftsmen for the service
generally, and statisticians and what
are known as clerks qualified in bust
ness administration, clerks qualified
in statistics or accounting, index and
catalogue clerks, balance of stores
clerks, and schedule clerks for the
ordnance department of the army are
also in great demand. Representa-
tives of the United States Civil Ser
vice Commission at the post offices in
all cities are furnishing detailed in
formation concerning positions at
Washington in which workers are
needed.

ORPHANAGE SHOWER

The Shower" at the home of Mrs.

a decided success in every way. There

en- today for other articles and viii be
shipped Monday morning to the En-
terprise Orphanage so as to reach

The Junior Epworth League desires

FROM A SOLDIER IN FRANCE

Mr.. J. ]. Phillips has received the
following from his brother, "some-
where in France:
France, October 18th.
Dear J. p: We have moved from
the town me were at. Have been bert
one week, and this is a better town;
better class of people and much
larger place. Wish I could tell you
the name of it and more, but at is not
allowed. / am at least seeing some
of the country, and not in any great
danger of getting shot. So far the
regiment has not lost any one yet,
and there has been very little sick
ness; some measles and mumps. I
have had both, so am not worried
about that. We are a good long way
from the firing line, and no hopes Of
getting any nearer very soon. Most
of US would like to see some real
work, but don't think we will before
next spring. The general opinion
here is that the war will be over
some time next spring, anyway I
hope so. It is real cool here at
night. / sleep under four blankets
and am not any too warm. No, we
do not get very much war news. /
suppose you know more about what
is going on than we do. The French
are doing good work and are better
fighters than the British. but just
wait. until the United States gets
started, and then something will be
doing.
How does everything look around
Ocala? Does the meat crop look
short Everything is high over here,
but don't see anybody suffering
from the want of eats.
. Your brother, S. j. Phillips.

The Spirit of Hoover
Is the Spirit Needed
If We're to Win the War

Theresa tip for Everyman in Herbert
c. Hoovers acceptance of the big job
given him by President Wilson.
Running the food business of America
and perhaps of the whole worlds one
of the biggest jobs in the whole war.
Yet Hoover takes that job only on con-
dition that he be given NO PAY.
That was his ONLY condition. He
didn't bubble over how much work he
would have to do. He didn't sickle for
mahogany desks He asked Just one
thing-NO PAY. And no pay for most
Of his staff.
That is about the finest spirit man
can show It's the spirit Of SERVICE
the spirit of How much can | give my
country and my cause?
There's a tip for Everyman and Every
woman in Herbert Hoovers inspiring ex-
ample.

done because we have 10 work for a lv-

"Thirty-Cent Bread Good
Material for Those Who
Like to Read About Crime

Thirty Cent Bread" is the title of a
most Illuminating little book by Alfred
w. Mccain, just damp from the print
ing press, in which some interesting and
astonishing facts are given the Ameri-
can people to reflect upon and which
stamp them as the most criminally
wasteful people in the world.
"Unless the United States govern
ment decides to place an embargo at
once upon the milling of white -four, the
boiling of corn, and the destruction Of
cereals in the manufacture Of whisky.
grain alcohol and commercial products,
misery lies ahead says Mccain and the
title Of the book will become a reality.
Mccain declares that the quantity Of
-four now rejected as human food by the
United States in it's milling processes is
sufficient to supply all the flour needs of
the country, leaving a surplus of 1885,
$4,000 barrels for export.
In order to make the kind Of white
fine -four, required by the American peo-
pie, eight bushels of wheat must be used
TO produce five bushels Of -four, the good
and nourishing part being then sold as
waste and fed to cattle.
The argument that cattle must be fed
or we will have no meat, is answered by
McCann quite easily
Sufficient quantities Of cottonseed. lin
seed, pea, bean and rice meal, sugar
feeds, beet pulp, corn cobs, hay, peanuts
and other products are grown to feed
all the animals necessary and are much
cheaper than are grains.
II we were to follow the regulations
of France and make all of our -four from
all of the wheat, we would increase our
production ofVlour 81, 792, 092 barrels or
nearly a barrel for every man. woman
and child in the country each year.
The cost of production is also much
less which should make the product low
err in price TO the consumer.
This change, according to Mccain
