two polar bears next door to two
brown bears.
Perhaps it would be little better
to say that they lived in cages side

next door to each other, for we usual

But the bears had fine yards to

there was big pool where they could

HOOVER NEEDS MILLIONS.

Hoover will need many millions to carry
ont his plans OF food control and food con
servation. An important move which he
has in mind is the extension of credit to
the stock farmer to increase the size OF
the herds \ statement from Mr. IIoov-
crs Office says:
we wish to restore the confidence of
the farmer in his industry by convincing
him that he will get a fair share of a
fair price paid by the consumer and ex-
tending to him credit on reasonable
bass So he may be able to equip his farm
for handling sheep, hogs and cattle sue
cessfully only by adopting the foregoing
methods and principles can production be
stimulated and the consumer protected
1T is essential for the future welfare
Of our nation that the supply 'of all meat
animals be increased Every farmer should
carry to its yearling form every heifer cali

administration, and Mr. Hoover's bureau
in consequence has been running along OF

asked for will be used not only for cur

has not been fixed. It seems difficult TO
satisfy the Western Farmer and East

that the Western Farmer will demand
for the 1917 crop high prices, or at
least comparatively high prices, on ac-
count of the smallness of the crop;
therefore, we think the Consumer is per-
fectly safe in purchasing -four at pres

several years service he resigned from

Green Turtles.

The green turtle finds its home in the
coral reefs Wing to the north of Jamaica,
though it is found in other parts of the
West Indies. The creature is caught by
the employment of extremely strong nets,
which are interlaced between the rocks.
Once caught the turtle is taken to King
ston, where it is kept in special sea water
pens on the seashore When in the pens
the turtle is provided with a peculiar
kind of sea grass, which it likes very
much. Curiously enough, when it is taken
away from West Indies it refuses to eat
this grass. Indeed, it will die of starva.
ton sooner than touch the grass, however
carefully preserved.

GERMAN BREAD RATION
TO BE CUT 10 PER CENT

COPENHAGEN, Oct LIT is semi
officially announced in Berlin that the
August estimate of the German grain
crop has shown that reduction of
10 per cent in the bread ration from
Nov. l will be necessary if the grain
supply is to last out the year. In place
OF bread, a corresponding amount Of
potatoes will be furnished.
The announcement seeks to convey
the impression that the rations will
be unchanged, Notwithstanding the
inferior nutritive value of potatoes
as compared with an equaf amount
of -four. Assurance also is given that
better flour, containing less bran than
the present "a per cent grinding will
be furnished if the grain statistics
now being collected show a larger
harvest than was indicated by the
August figures.
The price of bread has been in
creased 10 per cent, A four-pound
rye loaf hereafter will cost SO in
stead of rs pfennings, and the

AMERICAN MADE DYE
STUEFS WIN FAVOR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is
The American dye industry has not
only grown big enough to supply
practically all domestic needs, but is
now exporting quantities to other
nations. In July nearly 100000
worth of aniline dyes were shipped
abroad, according to figures publish
ed by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce of the Department
of Commerce. This is the first time
that separate statistics for aniline
exports have ever been issued, the
innovation resulting from the recent
striking growth of the trade.
All of the industries created or de-
ytloped as direct result of war con-
ditions, none has shown more rapid
progress than American ldyestuffs.
From only seven establishments in
which 52S people were engaged in
producing 6,619,729 pounds of coal
tar colors, valued at $1,126,699, in
1914, the industry has developed I'M
til now it not only supplies the do
nestle demand for colors put has
invaded the foreign market in Euro
pean neutral and allied countries,
Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil,
British India, and Japan.
No other article of commerce more
vitality affects a greater number OF
Industries than do coal tar dyes, and
very few articles rival them in COM
plexity of manufacture. At the out
break of the war the difficulties N
the way of soon providing adequats
domestic supplies seemed insurmount-
able; yet in the short space of three
years scores of plants covering many
acres of ground have been erected;
numerous by-product coke ovens
been equipped to furnish the neces-
sary raw materials; thousands of
workmen have been trained; special
machinery has been designed, built
and installed; hundreds of chemists
and chemical engineers have given
their entire time to the unfamiliar
work connected with color produc-
ton; experimental research has been
inaugurated for perfecting processes
and machinery and the possible dis
covery of new colors; organization;
consultations, and alliances have been
effected within the industry to further
increase output at decreased cost:
and it is understood in the trade that
plans ure under way for entering
foreign markets on large scale
