THE AMERICAN FAMINE.

At last ii has struck us-the first
hint of famine in America. But it is
not a food famine, There's no scar
city OF wheat or pork or sugar or any
thing else. in this country. anywhere
near serious enough to be denomt-
mated a famine" It's a famine ia
money.
Not exactly in money, either. We
really have plenty of money. as our
tremendous subscriptions to the Lib
erty Loan prove. In fact. money is
ctr most plentiful commodity. We
have more dollars than anything else.
The famine is in pennies. 1t has
struck the country all of a sudden.
The New York sub treasury reported
at the end Of October that, though it
usually carried upwards of 100000
pennies in stock. it had only a few
thousand left. The same condition
Is found in every big center of pop
u~lation, and is rapidly sweeping thru
the smaller communities. The gov
eminent minis are unable to supply
the lack. They appear to be turning
out about the usual quantity of copper
cents. but they can't do much more
than that because of the enormous
demand for other coins.
Thus the one coin hitherto held of
least Importance, the coin that the
humblest American regarded with
contempt. has leaped into dignity and
importance. Everywhere all at once,
Importance. Everybody, all at once,
wants pennies.
They are needed especially 0 to
pay the innumerable petty war taxes
that have just gone into effect. They
are also wanted on account of our
new spirit of economy. People are
paying more attention to the prices cf
small commodities. They are demand.
Ing that profits be held down to a res.
sonable percentage basis on articles
that cost only a few cents. They
show an unwonted e%agerness to pay
for things in odd cents. instead Of in
nlckels, dimes. quarters. etc. And the
dealers are yielding to the demand.
It's a good thing this revived appre
citation of the value Of pennies. It
may cause much inconvenience, until
we can adapt our coinage to the nov
situation; but it means thrift-the
sort Of thrift necessary to win the
war.

Canadians Take the Great American
Game Over Sea and Introduce Il

The baseball season has opened In
Flanders. The roar of cannon can be

ball, and spectators and players have
a lively time of it.
The great American game has been
taken over to Europe's fighting zone
by the Canadians.
Each major unit of the Dominion
forces has its team, and series of
games has been scheduled. Prolonged
battles or great advances will, of
course, interfere with the schedule,
but nevertheless the games have been
arranged for and are eagerly antici-
pated. The baseball outfits including
uniforms, bats, balls, masks, gloves
and all the rest have been sent over
by patriotic Canadians. The news of
victories on the diamond behind the
lines travels quickly to the men in the
trenches, where many cheer has
gone up, to the establishment Of the
Germans, who on frequent occasions
have taken this outburst of enthusiasm
to be the forerunner of an attack. I'm
doubtedly our boys in khaki will 60
over to Europe well provided with
baseball kits, and there will be some
lively battles going on behind the lines
while the other more deadly contest is
fought at the front.

CITY GIRLS LEARN FARMING
After Period Of Training They Are
Taking Places Of Men Who Are
Needed in War Work.

There is a 20O-acre farm in West
chester county, New York, where so
girls are learning to be farmers. AS
soon as they have a knowledge of any
kind of work they hire out to the
neighboring farmers for 20 cents an
hour, to take the place of the men, who
are needed for other kind of work in
this busy war time.
An employment bureau to supply
women for this kind of work in New
York state is being established by the
standing committee on agriculture of
the mayors committee of women on
national defense, and it has been
proved that there is not only demand
but a supply of woman farm workers.
Some of the girls ut the Westchester
camp are college girls and they all
wear blue shirts and ovcralls, except
the dieticians from Teachers college,
who wear white. They get their board
and rooms at the Westchester farm
while learning and so cents day.
Next year these girls will be compe.
tent to start other agricultural centers.
They begin with few hours of work
each day and increase it until they can
work up to the hours of a man of nor
ual strength.
