GERMAN FAT SHORTAGE
INCREASES ALARMINGLY
Food Riots May Result, Despite
Good Crops of Wheat
and Potatoes
BIZ a star Correspondent


Germanys wheat and potato crops are
SO good this year that the bread ration ana
the potato ration will be increased TINS
fall. Shortage Of butter, lard and all other
fats is increasing so rapidly that serious
food riots may result
These are the facts as reported today TO
some of the highest officials Of the Govern
ment by the most effective German-Austrian
espionage system I'm existence.
It Is the understanding here that the
German bread ration will be increased by
so grams a day. This will give each Ger
man n good-sized slice of bread every
twenty-four hours.
Good potato crops have been raised In
Bulgaria, but there may be difficulty in
distributing them to good advantage owing
TO transportation conditions
Reliable information just received today
IS TO the effect that the fat problem is so
serious in Germany now that sucking pigs
arc being killed. Virtually no butter is
allowed, and it is selling at unheard of
prices.

"I'll be there to face the scoundrels IL

Carey also was disappointed at not being
able to attend the mass-meetng in the

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE
FIELD, Sept 2s.
Germany today has $500, 900 men as the
human material" with which to enforce
her demand for "a place in the sun This
is the man power that remains out of
a total of 100000 men who have fig
ured on the German military lists and
passed through the hands of Gernany's
military arbiters.
OF the 6,S0O.OOO approximately 100000
are actually at the front and 600 900 more
are in reserve The remaining 100000 con-
stitute one OF the greatest tragedies of the
war They constitute the only resource
Of human material upon which Germany
has to draw. They must fill up losses in
the German army, which, with no major
Allied offensives in progress, normally total
from 10000 to 10000 monthly.
To date, however. the German General
STAFF has not yet succeeded in imposing on
the German people its right to seize these
youths before they are eighteen. Therefore,
this last drop of potential German manhood
cannot pass into the army except in piece
meal lots, as the boys attain the age of
eighteen.
MOBILIZATION HISTORY.
The figures cited herewith are based upon
the highest and most accurate source of
information. From this same source IL is
possible to detail this history of Germanys
mobilization efforts.
Before the war the German army con-
tained ffty-one divisions of $4,000 men.
Mobilization at the declaration Of war of
all who had previous military training
brought the total to 100000.
But these were insufficient, The Ersatz

men whose physical condition was tri1e

THIS GOLF BALL HARMLESS.

Another knick-knack has been
added to the golfers indoor equip
ment.
A woolly little ball, the size and
shape of a regulation golf ball, now
enables n to take ones stance in
a corner of the living room and aim
at any piece of brie-a-brac, cut glass
or hand painted vase without fear
of serious consequences. Of course
there is always the chance that the
ball will not go where it is directed,
but if it should, and if it should pop
the porcelain dairy maid square in
the nose it would rebound without
causing any damage.
The indoor ball was placed on the
market in Kansas City several weeks
ago, and already several hundred are
in use. The material is soft wool
tied so it retains its spherical shape.

H GRANT SIX.
The Best Car Ever Built to Sell at a
Popular Price.

The increase in the price of the Grant
Six from 1925 to $875 effective March
lst was not "a great surprise to dealers
says c. r. Tilton, local representative
of The Grant Six.
Last fall when other manufactur-
ers started to raise prices, it was soon
apparent that the average increase
would be about 10 per zen Since
the labor aud materials have steadily
advanced. On the face of things the
increase in the Grant Six price should
have been at least S75, making the
price $500.
"But as everybody knows the new
Grant factory, with a yearly capacity
Of over 10000 cars has such excep.
tlonal manufacturing facilities that it
has been able to Offset to a large de.
gree the increasing costs. OF course,
the limit would have to be reached
sooner or later, but it is characteristic
OF Grant policy that they did not take
advantage of conditions to increase the
price more than was absolutely neces-
sary The increase, in fact, amounts
to only six per cent of the former sell
ing price. Beyond any question the
cost of materials and labor have ad-
vanced Is to 20 per cent. in the past
two years. The difference between
the actual advance in the price and
the actual advance in costs is "a pres
ent to the buyers Of Grant Six. The
greater economies Of manufacture
made possible by the new factory are
being passed along to buyers of u
cars.
"At 1878 the Grant Six remains
practically as big a bargain as it was
at 1875. Not "a thing has been taken
out of the car, not a detail has been
cheapened.
"The good faith of the factory is
evidenced by the short notice given
us dealers. Instead of announcing
the increase a long time ahead and
using it as a sales stimulant, the fac
tory has followed the opposite course.
This fact must impress the public and
convince them that Grant policies
are always conservative and in alb
good faith. '--Ady.

1t was characteristic of Uncle Jim
to pick the coolest night of the Sun

w that babe, wrapped In swad-
ding clothes, lying in man
ger at Bethlehem! Prophets were
interested, angels were interested,
the ages have been most deeply in
terested since. The shepherds had
perhaps some premonition. The
seventy weeks Of Daniels prophecy
were about fulfilled. 1t may be at
that very time they were talking of
the coming of Christ.
Suddenly their attention was ar
rested by strange sight in the
heavens. 1t grew brighter and took
the form of an angel, and then they
heard voice announcing the birth
? of Christ as glad tidings for al peo-
pie, not to the Jews only. Then
suddenly the air was filled with an
gels singing as if they had come
right out from the air.
We know not their wonderful
song, but part came to mortal ears,
'Glory to God in the highest" etc.
1 Re know not who those angels were,
out we fancy they were the redeem
lam was there; Eve was
~naVe wive, who in her maternal
,sasss declared at the birth Of
frst5dkn. Il have got man
n the Loro," hoping that that
IS ne who should bruise the SER
ats head. Now, in the fullness
ime she had come to witness the
of the. babe who was to be the
lr Of heS. race. David, Elijah,
the ptSriarehs, we believe,
. with the heavenly host.
IS lis song reveals three things:
5 &-The glorifcation of God
9 IA the incarnation. God has
gl6ryS through his<East work in ma
ture, his providence building up and
casting down nations, etc.
In the incarnation there was spe
I cial glory. 1t was glory to God in
the highest--highest, in that it was
above all other glory, IL that 1t eS-
tended to all time and ip~that it
wrought such wondrous good.
Second.-The great results to the
earth. 1t would result in peace.
Strifes, thorns and thistles were
Astounding. The earth was torn and
bleeding by constant contention.
With Christ came peace. The result
would be universal peace.
Third.-The effect on the individ.
nal man. "Good will toward men"
from one another, from God. Out
of this good will would finally spring
peace on earth and glory to God in
