(From Daily Financial America
How tremendously important Is the
building Of ships may BE- appreciated
II you take to heart these facts:
For every soldier We send to France
we win have to ship 10 tons Of stuff
per year. And this does not include
the item OF heavy guns, etc.
II we send 100000 men 1t will be
necessary to ship upward OF 10000
coo tons of supplies per year. Yes
sells that carry 10000 tons Of freight
are not plentiful. It would take q
coo trips of a 10000 ton ship to trans.
port the goods needed by an army
Of that size.
Can you imagine what that means
in the line of ocean freighting? A
soldiers food runs between 8 and 4
pounds day. For every man on the
firing line there is an expenditure
Of ammunition averaging about 225
rounds per day. For every horse and
mule there is a. food allowance that
is appalling when it is considered that
ii has to be taken across the seas.
Cloths wear out with surprising rapid
ity In war times.
But food and ammunition do not
begin to cover the bulk of the freight
total. There is no end of machinery
for trench building; road building. rail
road building, etc. For every man
en- the firing liRe there are three in
the rear. Supplies are used up faster
than you would imagine. A break in
the volume Of supplies would cripple
an army.
Never In history did any nation
have such a, gigantic task as that
which this government has under
taken In sending an army to France
and preparing to feed and supply it.
We surely win send half a million
men, We may send a pi1lion. 1t is
possible we may be compelled to send
q million and q half or two million.
II you can grasp what that means
IN ocean freight after you have fig
used the totals In tons and ships on
the basis set down here you will
have appreciation Of what the people
In Washington have before them.
But they are undertaking still more.
They plan to feed Europe, to supply
much of the cannon, the shot, the
shell, the supplies generally for Eng
land, France, Russia and Italy.
Now you may appreciate why We
need ships, ships and ships. If We
lad in hand the 100000 tons Of
steel ships under construction in
American yards today We could end
the war months earlier than IT
probably Will end.
It is not lack of trained men that
holds us back. It's lack of ships.
And when we have the freight ships
that VIII not be enough. Every freight
ship viii have to be conveyed across
to protect it from the U-boat =
Don't criticize Washington without
knowing the facts. Always believe
IN the men at the helm. Those we
have In office today have jobs big
ger than departmental chiefs ever as
srnsd in all the history of tine gov
eminent. y .-......g o.; .-z.

Survey Of Wheat and Corn Supply
The government is taking, or has
taken, steps to ascertain, for example,
just what the available present sup
ply Of wheat and corn is remaining
from the crops of last year; to learn
from each Of the countries exporting
these foOdstuffs from the United
States what their purchases in this
country now are, where they are
stored, and what their needs are, in
order that we may adjust things so
far az possible to our own needs and

in course Of being rapidly supplied.
The case OF wheat and corn will

The native religion of the Eskimo is
devil worship. They don't really love
his satanic majesty, but they want to
stand in, through fear, so they render
sacrifice to him and make him many
gifts. The good spirits don't need any
attention. The game is to stand off
the evil ones.
Some of the skin parkas (coats) of
the natives are beautiful, especially
those made from the skins of the rein
deer and the bear. They are always
worn, winter or summer.
The Eskimos are the best natured
race of people ever met. They are
always smiling and happy. They al
ways look stranger in the face and
if there is any encouragement they
will speak and smile. They are hard
workers at fishing or hunting and will
endure great bardships on the dog
trails, but they do not take to regular
routine work.
