The Greatest Waste of Grain

It is not many years since one argument made to farmers against prohibition was that if 1t were adopu and enforced the farmers market for grain "ouu 'e greatly impaired shown that conslderaoie part of the corn barley and raised n ths country was consumed the manufacture of beer and WHISKY At the time price of these cereals was low despite the great volume of them consumed in the manufac- ture of spirits and beer.
 Now with the production all over the world much greater than eyer before. there is an almost "oro wide clamor restrict the of grains ln the man. ufacture of intoxicating liquors that there may be more for the peoples food
 The food value of all grains that go into liquor IS absolutely destroyed Liebig the chemist many years ago proved that there less nourshment Tn plil of the best Bavarian beer than there was in the amount of flour that could be gathered up on the point of a penEnife.
 It is no wonder then that Great Britain mas iatey limited the waste of grain the manufacture of in 1oxicating liUlor The wonder is that Great Britain Dressed as it is for food should permit single bushe of grain to be so used One need not be morast, a prohibitionist he need not consider rum as curse upon the power and brain power of the country and the cause of crime to demand that any further wastage of grain should stop Almost any of us wouid favor law prevent the growerof grain from dump ing it into destroying it by fire, or otherwise removing it from beneficial
 In this country already feeling the shortage of the grain supply and confronted with greater shortage The amount of grain that will be used this year by the breweries and the distleres despite the fact that we have prohibition in much more than half the whole country, would greatly tighten burden which will be unbearable many family in the land
 While our country is taking charge in some meas ure of the countrys food supply it would be well for it to prohibit the of the primary most essential food

Our Chief Task in the War

The whole duty O America in the war has not yet been outlined, but a part of it has been made clear. Whether not shall take active part in the fighting depends upon developments the allies power of aggression and the German power resist ance We to supply in the first place. allies with the means of fighting. with money, munitions and food These are all essential Without them in adequate quantities Germany cannot be con- quered. But all and behind everything is food and it is for food that the allies look to America
 This year we would supply ourselves with than ordinary difficulty. The shortage in nearly every kind of food is greater has many years. Though there is danger stalking famine we will have to do without many things that have hitherto enjoyed in abundance.
 In addition, there has been laid upon the task of avertng famine in the countries of allies How shall discharge this task we are told by Mr. Herbert c. Hoover, young wesNrner who on account of his great executive talents was chosen to take charge two years of the work for the of the Belgians
 The foremost duty of America toward her allies in this war is to that they supplied with food France, England Italy ordinary times depend- ed largely Russia, Roumania and Bulgaria for large portion of their breadstuffs With isolation Of these areas they were thrown wholly upon western hemisphere. The bumper western harvest of 1915 was able to carry the load without strain but the normal, in places short harvest of ljlo cOupleu Nlti 1act that allies today giving their whole and abe-bodied manhood to arms and the manufacture of munitions has brought the whole allied world face face with shortage of breadsuffs. From the necessities of case we can put but few soldiers in the field but every spadefu of earth turned by farmers, every seed we plant every ounce of waste eliminate is just as much a contribution to the joint that of a man in the trenches.
 We must increase our production by every device Of our able farming community with the stimulating adVlce and guidance agricultural institutions can invent, but beyond this stop waste in every scrap of foodstuff We even be prepared to de- prve ourselves if necessary that our allies may be supported. They have eliminated waste and are deprving themselves today and is not less our duty than theirs
 If America will only eliminate waste and extrava- gance in food it will far to help the whole problem Much can be done by the substitution of the more abundant commodities for those that our allies need most For instance every person in America who eats bread instead of wheat bread helps in the present wheat shortage, for the English people have never learned how and have not the equipment to make corn bread because they do bake in the household at all, and bread cannot be served from the baker
 "The probably will last another year. and from the present outlook of the worlds food supply we shall have all We do by the utmost elimination of waste and the utmost stimulation of productions to carry our allies through with their full fighting stamina

The Prosposed Censorship

The censorship clause of the espionage bill which has been favoraby reported to the senate is natur- ally meeting with opposition by the press of the coun try as a proposed interference with the privilege of free speech of the clause itself there IS no ground for complaint is. cannot find fault with the object ostensibly sought The clause pro- vdes:
 Whoever. in time of war, in violation of reason able regulations to prescribed by the president, which he is hereby authorized to make and promul- gate shall publish any information with respect to the movement numbers description, condition, or dis position any of the armed forces, ships, aircraft or war materials of the United States, with re- spect plans of conduct of any naval or military operations with respect to works or measures undertaken for connected with, or intended for the fertilization defense of place. any other in- formation relating the public defense calculated to be useful enemy, shall be punished by fine Of not more than s1OO00 or by Imprisonment for not more than ten years, by both such fine and inn prisonmen provided that nothing in this section shall be construed limit restrict any discussion, com criticism of the acts policies of the gov ernment it's representatives, or the publication of the same.'
 There is probably not newspaper in the land that would violate the spirit of the clause by publishing so that the enemy might benefit any of the nforma which generally but generally. prescribed by the clause
 Under the broad of the clause senseess and the average does betray marked

To him it would likely appear that news of disaster land which would have a de- pressing effect upon Americans would be useful to the enemy much useful to him than the enemy's previous knowledge that such a disaster had occurred.
 The foolish British censorship which was main- ained in the early days war and has since not been greatly improved, has had the effect less of hampering the enemy than of keeping the British people in state of ignorance and uncertainty. An effect of it has been weaken confidence of the people in the government, the army and the navy
 Even a reasonable intelligent censorship in this country is unnecessary however necessary it might be in France Great Britain. The newspapers of America would not likely into possession in advance of German spies. of any information that unlikely that any publication in American news paper would find it's way to the Central Powers than that the information would be transmitted to them through secret channels
 The censorship would be an assault upon American traditions and would become precedent for the re- striction of the press in time of peace

 Tommy was also entered in the shorthand contest, but as he used the stcnotype, he was barred from the contest He will undoubtedly win next years contest and will prob ably do more than 100 words a minute.
 The record for all typewriters ir the United States has been held by an easterrer with 76 words per minute. Some tYpists have reached a speed of S5 words but the record of Wooamen exceeds any yet heard of and hence Tom Woodman be- comes the World Champion Typist."
