WHEAT CROP WILL

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10.-With

VIII Help Next Loan.
In view of the figures available
it is apparent that the second Lib

race Of the financial possibilities of
the state. Subsequent loans. which
are being anticipated for later in the
winter will undoubtedly receive a
reception even more generous than
that which was recently concluded.
Some idea Of what the federal

may be gathered from satisfies re-

SHOOTING QUAILS
AID To GERMANY
Crops are Protected by Birds,
Says State Ento-
molOgiSt.
News- Zinc special service:

News-Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10.-Under
the caption, IF you shoot quails
this year you aid Germany" Frank
\. Wallace. state entomologist, has
issued a statement urging Indiana
quail hunters 10 forego their sport
this year during the season which
opened Saturday. Mr.. Wallace's
statement follows:
Quail in Indiana should be given
every protection this year. The per
son who kills one of these birds
gives aid to Germany. Are you that
kind OF a sportsman?
The hordes of insects which de
stroyed millions of dollars worth of
crops this year had no greater en-
envy than the quail and Indiana
needs and should have every one
Of them protected this winter. Each
quail you kill means more insect
damage next year, because a large
part of the quairs food consists Of
insects which hibernate during the
winter.
Quail Invaluable to Farmer
Thousands Of farmers feed the
quail when there is a deep snow or
sleet on the ground, when the quail
cannot scratch for insects and it is
an outrage that hunters should
come in, within an hour or so, de-
stroy something something which is
invaluable 10 the farmer.
Let US recognize the Bob White
as one Of our allies and see that ne
is not hunted this year and let US
class those who attempt TO destroy
him as a friend Of Germany"

CONSERVATION IS
SHOWN EFFECTIVE
More Thar Forty Percent Less
Garbage Now, Says
Dr.. Barnard.
vews-Times special Service:

News Times Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 10.-The
campaign for food conservation has
cut down the amount Of garbage
collected in the large cities in some
ing 70 a statement issued today by
DR. II. f. Barnard, who represents
the federal food administration in
this state. DR.. Barnard says:
From all over the country come
tales of the troubles of the garbage
men. The food conservation work
has destroyed all hopes Of large
profits from the sale Of wasted fats
TO soap makers and munition plants.
We are not wasting fats any more.
Even trimming stock and bones
which used 20 go into the garbage
pail now finds good use in making
soups. The dripping in the roast
ing pan and the grease skinned
off the boiling piece are all saved
and everyone is satisfied except the
men who once made money out of
wastefulness.
Gives Figures.
The food administration has
checked up the practical results of
it's crusade against the garbage
bucket F1fty-nine cities with an
aggregate population of more than
100000 have just made their re-
ports. Only II of the SO cities show
any increase over the tonnage Of
waste collected a year ago. San
Diego, Calf, shows the greatest in
crease in saving. The total collec-
tons for the month being but AZ
percent of a year ago. Ten other
cities show a decrease Of % per-
cent or more. These are Wheeling,
Portland, Charlestown, Grand Rap
ids. Columbus. Lincoln, Savannah,
Brockton. Davenport and Mobile.
The SO cities reported a total Of
1O3,367 tons of garbage collected in
July. 1917, compared to 217,S16 tons
collected in July. 1916.
I'm Analysing these figures it
should be remem bered that the bulk
Of garbage during the summer is
vegetable waste, such as corn, husks
and cobs and melon rinds. We have
used more of these goods than
ever before And in view Of this
fact the showing is the more TO be
applauded."

Without money we can do absolute

other and all my vestments. Now my
house is like a grave and my boxes
empty. Even with this sacrifice

A SWEET LITTLE STORY FROM
AFRICA.

Rev. Eugene Derry, U. F., of Mulajje,
Uganda, tells a pretty story of how a
little black girl named Nambi tried to
help put roof on the church in her
mission. BY hard labor she had earn
ed enough to buy a fine rosary which
she put to the following use:
"One evening"" writes Father Derry,
ION leaving the confessional, found
Nambi lying in wait for me.
well, little girl, what is it now?"
'Emboldened by my smile, the child
told me why she had returned.
Il have tried to sell my rosary, but
have not found purchaser-would
you buy it from me?'
Accepted, little merchant! But
why are you parting with it? Is it
defective? The chain is strong, the
beads made of olive wood and the
cross is large. Are you in need of
money!"
'Oh, MOI" protested the proud little
one
Come, tell me frankly what is in
your mind
Feeling herself obliged to make a
full confession, Nambi lowered her
head, seized the skirt of her dress,
which she began to twist nervously
and finally told me what follows:
Father, the roof of our church is
unfinished from lacks of funds. /
would like to do my part towards it,
but do not own a penny, so have
decided to sell my rosary to contribute
to the covering of the house of the
good God'
"Give me your rosary" / answered,
feeling the tears mount to my eyes.
The generous child united a corner
of her skirt where she had carefully
hidden the precious object. 1t was
bright and shining and had cost six
days work, but she held it out to me.
counted out the money demanded.
Thanks, Father!s Happy over her
sacrifice, she ran off to turn over to
The catechist collector her mite.

Then, the cure clapped his hands.
| The lines broke up and the childish
band scattered with cries of joy. A
| few FASTENED to the houses on the
| main road but the larger number took
| to the fields. They followed the small
| pathways, chattering all at once or
showing each other in their little red
edged prayer books, the pictures they

brows. All were radiant in their in

peace. i -4Ja
There it is" said the swallow, 'the
procession said you would have. All
these little ones have had Communion
this morning. Each of their souls is
a ciborium where God dwells. In the
olden time, ignorant and thoughtless,
they would have strewed flowers be-
fore the Blessed Sacrament, now they
bear it about in their hearts. Thanks
to them, it is moving on through the
fields; it has come to bless the coun-
try-side.''
'sThe procession" cried the birds
in ecstasy, "the procession of Corpus
Christi" They sang as they had
never sang before, with open threats
and breathless with joy. Each bush,
each tree, each tuft of grass added
it's note to the invisible orchestra.
Pearly, fine drawn sounds, trills and
new vocal flights rained down from
the branches-only pausing now and
then to bring out more effectively the
touching recitatiVe of the nightingale.
Amazed by this concert the children
stood still by the side of the path to
listen. One uplifted his head, to drink
it in better-ard his heart was so
light, the morning so lovely, that he
wanted to initiate the warblers. A
hymn naturally came to him-one he
had sung just before at the altar
Behold the Lamb, the Lamb of God,
The Saviour of the world"
Thus this ancient air, so simple, so
often on the lips of our ancestors, re-
sounded once more through the val
ley, poured forth from the pure lips
of a child Carried away by the
swing of the fine old tune, the other
little communicates took up the re-
frain, singing with much reverence:
10, He comes down from heav'n for
US; Q let us all adore Him"
Then breeze flew by, bowling as
in devotion, the grain, the boughs and
the grass. All was silence for a mo-
ment. Something like a certainty of
peace and safety overspread the
wild fields palpitating with summers
radiant life; and the timid birds freed
from dread felt they had nothing to
fear from nature, since the meadows
and plains, where their nests lay hid,
had just received the blessing of God.

swallow. Then came a sudden gust
of wind and she rose with it, utter
ing sharp and joyous cries.
The clouds burst into rain at this
very moment. The voices ceased.
Crouching under the LEAKAGE were
only a few little shivering balls of
feathers. But the storm departed
after light downpour. The sky was
blue again., Between it's azure and
that of the river the orioles nest, held
by its frail cords, continued to swing,
trucking with spring rain. The bright
drops flashing in the sun made it a
rare and dazzling thing, set with dia-
monds and pearls, and wrapped in a
fine network of silver.
The Rogation days came. On all
the roads apple blossoms and haw-
thorn rained their SHOWS; but the lit
tie lads in their red cassocks, their
SUPPLIES blowing in the morning
breeze, were not there. The Litanies
of the Saints, with their invoeations,
were not flung forth by the river
brink or on the meadow slopes.
