into existence August 10 q great deal
Of exertions has been requireil to
remedy food situations growing out Of
the over-export and short supplies Of
the 1916 harvest.
Reserves Wsrs GxhausA sd.
There were no reserve stocks In
practically all Of the main staples
with which to enter the new harvest
year. and in fact in some of the prin-
cipal staples the exports had proceeded
to such length that there was an alb
solute under supply of our own me-
cessities during the past two months.
ON top of the situation, various fac
tors have interefered with the earlier
arrival Of the new harvest. The FARM
er in preparing for a 80 per cent In.
crease of winter wheat acreage in the
face of the shortage in agricultural
labor has prevented the free market
ing of many commodities and in adj
dition to these difficulties there exists
through the country. owing to the
large coal and munitions shipments, a
considerable car shortage.
Periodic Shortages.
Resulting from these causes there
have been periodic shortages in one
commodity after another in one To-
cality after another in the United
States and large part Of the ener-
giles of the food administration has
been absorbed in securing a distribu-
ton and a redistribution of existing
supplies in such a manner as to keep
the country generally supplied with
foodstuffs. and but for the CO. opera
ton of the railways in meeting one
emergency situation after another, we
should have had local famines in one
commodity after another in a great
many sections.
Furthermore, the authority Of the
food Administered ton does not extend
over combinations of growers and pro-
ducers at one end Of the chain. nor
does 1t extend over the great majority
OF retailers at the other end. The
distribution chain lying between that
is. the warehouse, Wholesaler. commits
sion men and manufacturers of the
prime commodities. has required a
great deal of study and development
for its proper regulation and these
regulations are now coming into force

"Rebecca" is Coming.

The book of 'Rebecca of Sunny

popularity was assured and within
seven years it attained the extraordi-

the aid of either illustrations or sem
sa,ional advertising. Since then it has
been dramatiZed by Charlotte Thomp-
son and Miss Wiggin with great sue
cess and many Reissues of the book
have been published. The motion pic

often been sought, without success.
However. when Mary Pickford decided

THE SPORTL|GHT
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

One of the most interesting aspects OF
the late world series has been the
transformation of Dave Robertson, the
husky young Nirginian right fielding
for the Giants.
Two years ago Dave, then tagged
with the ancient second Ty Cobb label,
started out TO make his label stick.
BY July Of 1916 he was batting $50
and hitting the ball with terrific force
\ few weeks later his descent began.
He dropped to 800. And this year, in
place Of resuming, he slumped still
further until he finished the year
below $50.
And Then
As n result of this long slump from
his old heights no great attention was
paid to Robertson when this series
swung under way. But before anyone
knew it Dave was out beyond such
stars as Joe Jackson. Eddie Collins,
Hap Felsch, Bonnie kauff and George
Burns. BY the fifth game he had ten
hits packed away. with an average
only a shade below the four.game
world series mark of Hank Gowdy in
hitting. but hitting with the ease and
confidence Of a Cobb at his hest
From an average workman he had
climbed to the appearance Of great
ness, and 1t was no one or two game
flash.
Being a BAH player Of fine speed and
tremendous physical power he has
only to carry this confidence along to
be one OF the great stars of the game
