DOUBTFUL FATE.

Copenhagen, Oct. 4-German news papers report that the project for granting additional representation to overgrown Reichstag districts and for introducing the principle of pro portional representation in the large cities is on the rocks.

Another grocer confessed that when he wasn't making enough profit he added some items to the bills of his non question asking customers. Those who protested were entirely satisfied when he adjusted the matter.
 Some women aren't careful about their bills because they are too lazy.
 Others hate to be always protesting about little items. They think 1t is mean.
 It is worse than mean to put the extra burden of such carelessness on their husbands.
 Especially in these times.

THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
The Food Problem, Discussed by
b. F. Bush, Receiver Ills
souri-Pacific Iron
Mountain.

WOuhkHths
In the great crisis which now
confronts our country, no more
signal service can be rendered than
by the farmers of the country in a
united and earnest effort to raise
enough food products for the
United States and her allies. This
is equally as important as recruit
ing a large army or manning a
more extensive navy. 1t is as true
now as when Marcus Cato pro.
claimed to the Romans that you
cannot make speeches to the
belly. which has no ears" for the
stomach cannot be filled with fair
words.
The nation, in time of war, is
entitled from every man, rich or
poor. to such service as may be
required, subject to the limitations
imposed by age or sickness.
With reported slump of more
than fifty million bushels of win
ter wheat. as compared with last
years crop, as recently reported by
the Government, our country is
brought face to face with the first
serious war feeding problem.
To meet the increased demands
for food products, caused by the
war, additional preparations would
be necessary were it not for the
present decrease in the wheat crop,
but, on account of such decrease,
the question of supplying the food
necessary for the fighting men pre-
sents a serious problem which the
farmers of Our country must help
to solve.
The government. anxious to pro-
mt by the conditions which have
been presented in Europe, has ap.
pealed through the Secretary Of
Agriculture, for an increase in the
food crop necessary to feed oul
own people and those across the
seas who must rely in large part
upon the American farmers.
The present war and natura
conditions have resulted in a SCAT
city of food products throughout
the whole world, and regardless Of
the increased remuneration which
this condition guarantees for such
products, it is apparent that every
farmer should bend every effort tt
increase the acreage and yield o
all kinds of food stuffs by obtain
ing the necessary feed, labor ant
implements to do so.
When the spring wheat crops ART
The Jasper news. [volume] (Jasper, Missouri) 1898-1924, 1917-04-19

found to be impracticable, the land
should be utilized for oats, barley
or other substituted crops for which
the soil is adapted, and too many
acres of beans, peas and forage
products cannot be produced to
meet the increased demands that
will be made upon the Middle
West.
The large army of able-bodied
men, too old to fight, can do their
part by making preparation to help
feed the men who fight.
In addition to the crop of corn
and wheat, thousands of acres Of
navy beans and crops that contain
the maximum amount Of nutrition
to the hundred pounds should be
raised. All kinds Of food stuffs
that can be properly canned or
dried or prepared for ocean trans
portation should be prepared in
order that our soldiers and those
of our allies can be provided with
a varied and wholesome diet.
With such men at the head of
the United States Board as Hon.
Herbert c. Hoover, of the Council
of National Defense, our country
will have the satisfaction of know.
ing that the problem which baffled
Europe on the supply and price of
food products will be met and
properly solved in this country
with the stimulus and patriotism
with which the farmers of our
country will respond to the appeal
of the general government.
No compulsory tillage OF the soil,
such as England was compelled to
enact under the powers of the De-
Tense of the Realm Act in Ireland
will be necessary in the United
States.
The transportation lines OF the
country are adapting all available
revenue and every possible means
to be prepared to serve the country
and general public as transporta-
ton agencies, and through their
several agriculture departments,
they will render any assistance they
can to the agriculture sections in
order to meet the appeal of the
United States Department Of Ag.
riculture.
The men in the Agriculture De.
partments of The Missouri Pacific
and Iron Mountain Railways will
cooperate with the farmers, both
Individually and through their or
CARNATIONS. in an effort to assist
in bringing about an increase il
the yield of the lands of this sec
ton.

one case upon the grounds that the grand
jury convlctIng lead was illegally chosen
a it was drawn BY a deputy in absence
of the district clerk Of Travis county and
