A BIT INCONSISTENT

The governments housewives
economy campaign seems to have
struck a snag in the south. 1t is
reported that any number Of South
ern women have openly refused to
sign Mr.. Hoover's food pledge cards
unless the German prisoners of war
in the intern camps are put on q
palmer diet. The incident has Civ
en- rise to all sorts of rumors. of
course but the fact has been fairly
well established that the prisoners
are living in comparative luxury
while hundreds of thousands OF
southerners are scratching from sun
rise to sunset to keep body and soul
together.
The open hearted hospitality OF the
South has so long been celebrated IN
song and story as to become one OF
Americas finest traditions Hence,
when this time honored spirit of gem
crosby is strained to the breaking
point, it is high time to take stock
Ut the situation. The gracious
Southern women are quite willing to
do their bit for the cause. They did
it before, even to the extent of en-
plying the lardcr for their soldiers
and living on a scanty diet Of plain
food themselves. But they want
consideration in return. They see no
reason why they should scrape and
save, so long as their German guests
are living on lamb chops, fried
chicken and poached eggs. The sit
uation is said to have reached eli
max when one of the German Off
GERS expressed extreme Indignation
because the honey dew melon servd
him was not properly chilled.
No wonder the hot blooded South
crn women rebelled. The success OF
the food conservation program is es-
sentially a matter of individual
honor and no housewife is going to
be overcome with an overwhelming
desire to help win the war when the
mouths she has to feed are watering
for the crumbs that fall from the
epemy's table. Our own readers have
similar concern. for it goes with
out saying that many deserving citi-
xcns in this community are going

WHEAT SITUATION CRITICAL

On the authority of State Food adj
ministrator, Alfred Atkinson. who has
lust returned from conference with
Herbert Hoover at Washington. the
food situation with respect to wheat
supply is not the best. Already we
have shipped abroad 13 million more
bushels of wheat than our normal
consumption of that cereal would war
rant. And we must ship another 100
million bushels If we would meet the
minimum requirements of our allies
France, italy and Great Britain. 1t
is this enormous balance which we
must somehow save by voluntary alb
stinence from wheat consumption. If
we do not cut our normal consump-
ton, this country will face an abso-
lutte wheat famine before another
harvest.
While there is world wheat sur
plus of no million busiest, $40 mil
lion bushels are in India and Aus
traia. with practically no ships for
moving it. Meanwhile. France is re-
ported as having had only 35 per cent
of a crop this year, Great Britain GO
per cent, and Italy 40 per cent. Ger
many on the other hand has had a
crop of wheat and potatoes above the
normal, and is actually exporting
food to Sweden.
All eyes are turned to America as
the one source of wheat for the al
lid nations. At least two of these
nations. France and Italy, are in a
desperate situation. Our own prob
lem OF supplying wheat Is complicated

JAPAN READY WITH
SHIPS AND MEN To
HELP BEAT U-BOATS
However, Willy NippineSe Will
Strive Nightly to Diplomat
iCaIIy Induce Uncle Sam to
Pay the Price

WASHINGTON, d c., Aug. 4.-When
the Japanese war mission arrives in this
country, the best and widest Nipponese
diplomatic brains will be phted against
Uncle Sam in one of the greatest bar
gaining matches in history. Upon the
outcome will largely depend not only the
future of hitherto troubled relations be-
tween the United States and Japan, but
the stabilizing of the Russian war front,
the greater participation of Italy in tho
war. the circumvention of the German
U-boat campaign and, possibly, the very
decision of the war itself.
The Japanense will have two great
trump cards to play. They have a mer-
chant marine of nearly 100000 tons
and a magnifcently trained army of
more than 1000, 900 men.
The Japs have made money out of the
war, so much so they are now a credi-
tor instead of debtor nation. They
are wiling to continue making money by
selling ammunition and artillery to Rus
STA.
But they want something more than
money for their ships and their troops
They would like to have settlement
with this country over the land and i'm
migration questions in the Pacific coast
states. And even more important from
their viewpoint, they would like to have
Uncle Sam agree to their having a
free hand with China.
The American policy in China has
been the open door. If Japan is given
her way, the door will not only be clos
ed II will be shut with reverberating
bang.
Every impulse of the American states
men will be to insist upon the open door.
But just about that time European
statesmen, representing our allies, will
point out what Japan can do for the
cause. She can send several hundred
thousand men into Russia by the Sibe-
rian line and these trained and perfectly
equipped troops would held stiffen the
Russian troops facing the Germans and
Austrians.
But even more vital are Japan's
ships. Italy has over 100000 men,
but not enough ammunition, because she
lacks steel and coal. She has troops to
spare If she can get these commodities.
Japanese ships could carry American
steel and coal to Italy and food to the
allies.
, To pour Japan's tremendous merchant
marine through the Panama canal. load
II at American ports, and send 1t across
the ocean conveyed by American, Japa-
nese and allied destroyers would be in
a large measure to defeat German U
boat plans until the American shipping

The only question at issue is whether

CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE
WAY TO DRY VEGETA
Complicated and Expensive
Machinery Is Not Essential,
Uncle Sam Says

WASHINGTON, Aug. There's a lot
Of complicated and expensive machinery
for fruit and vegetable drying, but I'm
Gle Sam says you don't need to let that
worry you. There are cheap and eff
fective methods that do just as well.
Sun drying is about the cheapest and
most effective method for housewives
practising a little war economy at
home. In it's simplest form sun. drying
consists of simply spreading the sliced
or chopped food on sheets of clean
paper, or, if it sticks. on pieces of old,
though clean, muslin, weighted down
with stones.
Choose bright, hot. sunny days for
this. See that no rain or dew vets the
product. Throw a mosquito bar over
it to keep off flies and insects.
Stir the slices and turn them over
once or twice day. Take out the thin
ones. which dry first.
You must be particularly careful
about flies and insects. If they lay their
eggs in the drying product, they will
hatch later and riddle your dried foods,
rendering them UNIT for the table.
If you can afford trays. use them.
you can stack the trays at night and
cover them with oilcloth. canvas or roof
ing paper during wet weather or at
night.
Don't put your trays directly on the
ground. You can make little tire tray.
If you have a handy man around the
house. to hang over the kitchen stove
and dry your things that way. 1t will
utilize all the hot air given OF by any
kind of stove.
Still another homemade drier Is the
cookstove oven. Bits of food, especially
left-overs, can be dried on plates In a
very slow oven in connection with other
cooking or on the back of the cookstove
and preserved for winter use.
If the oven Is very warm the door
may be left ajar and the temperature
OF the oven often noted. You can also
use small galvanized iron trays in the
oven. There are such small driers on
the market.
Then there's the electric fan. If you
own one, fruits and vegetables In long
trays, about Ski feet and stacked in two
tiers, end to end before the fan, can
be dried within "a hours
Sliced string beans and shredded sweet
potatoes will dry before a fan running
at moderate speed within a few hours.
In many cities the fan will use about
IA of a cent an hour In electricity.
Place the fan close to the stack and
do not fill them so full that the air
cannot pass freely all around them.
The big advantage Of the fan method
is that the food keeps cool all the time,
thus tending to retain the color and pre-
vent spoilage.

SLAYER OF MRS. HESS
IS HANGED At MOBILE
Negro Taxi Driver Pays Pen
atty Without Adding to
Previous Confession

MOBILE, Ala. Aug. 3. - Fisher
Brooks. a negro taxi driver convicted for
the murder of Mrs. Julia May Hess, OF
Fulton, Ala, was hanged at daybreak
today. Brooks added nothing TO pre-
vious confessions. He was calm as he
went to his death.
The crime for which Brooks was hang
ed today and for which Albert Sanders,
aonthsr negro, also will pay the death
penalty on August "a, was committed
early IN the morning of May 81. Rob
berry apparently was the motive.
Mrs. Julia May Hess was the wife of
R. c. Hess, locomotive engineer of Full
ton, Ala. She left her home on Sunday.
May 20, to visit her mother at Stark,
Fla. and it was necessary for her to
change trains at Mobile. She arrived
here at $40 o'clock Sunday evening and
finding her train did not leave until well
after midnight she took a taxicab and
went to a hotel Sanders was the driver
OF the taxicab. On arriving at the hotel
Mrs Hess told the chauffeur to return
for her in time to take her TO the train.
She offered to pay him FOR the trip to
the hotel from a purse containing about
$50. all in bills OF small denomina-
ton. Witnesses at the trial testified
that Sanders would not accept payment
then. explaining to his passenger that
she could pay him at the station for
both trips.
Sanders did not call at the hotel for
Mrs Hess. but Fisher Brooks, another
chauffeur, came instead. Mrs. Hess en-
tered his car about 1870 o'clock in the
morning and that was the last time she
was seen alive. Three days later her
body was pulled out OF Chickasabogut
creek with the throat cut. The two ne
groes were arrested and Brooks confess
ed. first duplicating Sanders and later
exculpating him. Sanders has main
