of grains and of forage. The large pro-
duction of these necessaries during the
present crop season should conduce to
more satisfactory conditions for the pro-
ducers of livestock and should, other
things being equal, tend to bring about
an increase.
'But with the destruction of livestock
in Europe and the great demands from
there for meat and fats, with consequent
greatly increased exports from this
country, it is clear that the supply will
not be adequate for the domestic needs
and for those of the nations with which
we are associated in the war.
"The mere statement that the popu-
lation has steadily increased in this
country--the gain in the 10 years from
1908 to 1917 being 10000 00-with an
absolute decrease in the livestock for the
same period, would sufficiently empha
size the seriousness of the situation if

flames. Men came to us and begged for
cloth for bandages. We frantically tore
up sheets and gave them everything in
the place which would be of any use.
by this time loads of dying and in

Men broke down and sobbed, and

conditions were normal and the demand
for meats and fats were not so urgent.
The report announces the organization
of a special agency to ascertain to what
extent the government safely can permit
the use of national forest ranges for cat
| tie grazing. A severe winter and late
spring in the West this year induced the
opening of the forest reserves to the ami
mails much earlier than usual and in

grazing purposes is to be much extended.

United States. It's spread so far has
been confined to comparatively isolated
areas
Material development of native agri
cultural resources, the report says, is ex-
pected to follow complete organization of
the departments extension service. |
Equipped with an appropriation of 81, |
348 400, the service will soon be able to
place one demonstration agent possibly /
twoin nearly every agricultural county !
in the country, and woman in each
large city to give advice regarding the
production, conservation and utilization
of food products. Agents numbering
5 900 are now performing extension work
among the nations farmers and in the
urban. communities
"These agents." declares Secretary
Houston, mot only are performing the
normal and emergency demonstration
and educational work, but they are also
assisting other branches of the govern
ment. in special directions, such as the
treasury department in its Liberty loan
and the food administration
in its food conservation activities" !,

red activities and lines of effort of the

Men Insist on Eating Meat.

A writer says in the December Won

There are, of course, wasteful fami-
lies, but most incomes are not elastic
enough to admit of much wanton throw
ing away of good food. It is safe to
say that large portion of such waste
as there is is caused by the simple, plain
but expensive tastes of the American

per month, which we put into effect
October !, 1917, We beg TO submit for
your information the following STATE
ment concerning the necessity of rails
ing additional revenue due TO the aD-
normal war costs existing at this time
On January 1910. we voluntarily
decreased the net price of gas and again
ON January /, 1911, we made a further
voluntary reduction IN the price of gas.
These reductions were made because OF
the low prices for gas-malSing materials
which prevailed at that time, and be-
cause of our policy to share with our
consumers such benefits.
At the time these reductions were
made our cost of oil was % 30 per 100
gallons, anthracite coal was 500 per
ton and steam coal Sl.25 per ton at The
mines. Our cost of these materials
shows that oil has increased in cost to
US at this time 81 per cent, anthracite
coal 43 per cent and steam coal 232 per
cent. or In round figures the coal and
oil used now cost rs, under present con-
tracts. S65,150 more than they would
have cost in 1910 and 1911, when the
net price Of gas was reduced.
These three materials comprise 50 per
cent. of our manufacturing cost. The
present market price of oil, which alone
comprises Al per cent. Of our total
manufacturing cost shows percentage
of increase over the figures named
above Of 300 per cent. The present in
creased cost OF these three principal
gas-malIing materials based on our re-
quirements over the prices paid on con-
tracts during the year 1916 and part OF
1 1917 up to the present time, are as
follows
Anthracite coal ............. S075O.O0

FORMIDABLE WEAPON

Newport, r. J., Aug. 31.--The use Of
gigantic airplanes which the Italians
are now building, as the best means
of ending the submarine menace by at
lacking German naval bases was urged
by Major r. Perfetti. head Of the spe~
cial Italian aeronautic mission to the
United States at benefit theatrical
performance for American aviators
here tonight.
Major Perfsttr SAID that aircraft carr
rying 20 or more men could be built
in large numbers in this country.
where materials are abundant and
flown across the Atlantic. He ex-
pressed the belief that If the Ameri-
can government or 4 group of patriotic
Americans. would devote $4,000, 900 to
such a project the air cruisers would
soon solve the most difficult problem
Of the war.
Fighting Devil Himself.
Rear Admiral Bradley A. fiske sup
plemented Major Perfetti's plea for a
great air fleet. He said:
we are at war with the most for
inidable nation in the world, the ma
ton that has already made a specially
of preparing for war and wap.ng war.
We are war with the incarnated COM
bination of intellect and evil. We are
at war with the devil himself
