WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-Presidenl
I Wilson tonight extended TO impof,s

proclamation requiring the licensing
of most of the chief import commodi-

Action was taken under authority

which gives the executive power to
prescribe such regulations governing
imports as the public safety requires.
Import licensing will be put in the
hands of the war trade board. which
under authority given the president
in the export control act, issues all
licenses for exports.
Assumption OF control over imports

Yesterday, the day before or perhaps today some mothers girl took the down. ward road that leads to destruction. Do you know, dear mothers, who read this, if whether it was your daughter or not? Do you know all your daughters inner life? Do you know her thoughts and have you studied life's many phases over together? Have you, dear mother, given her all the enlightenment in re- gard to the opposite sex, that you might have given her and that was her just due No one can point out the danger to a girl as we'll as the mother can. But how very many mothers there are who shirk their duty, who put off the day of knowledge until it is too late, who wait until the girl is beyond the help of knowl- edge such as only mother can give.
 God knows many mother will have more to answer for in the day of judg- ment than they dream of.
 If some girl you know did go wrong did you reach out a helping hand to her? Did you bear the thought in mind that it might have been your daughter to whom you had failed to impart the knowledge that was her right?
 Are we ever as ready to help some other mothers girl take the right road again as we are to see our own girls do right? Are we not too quick to pull our skirts aside, to draw a breath of relief when they are gone from our sight? True there are many women who are doing a noble work, who are spending their lives in rescung the fallen daugh- ters of other mothers.
 I am speaking to the mothers who go about their homes with a happy heart. secure in the thought that their own girl could never take a step along the down. ward road. How blind we are when we feel the most secure. Let us take heed lest danger Turk near. Dear mothers, such as these do you know the men your daughters and her girl friends come in contact with? Do not feel too secure for temptation may come to all of us sooner or later. Let us point out the danger to the girls in early life. Let us not feel ashamed to impart knowledge to our girls that they may be on their guard as well as we ourselves.
 And. dear girls. you, who may have gone wrong and are still treading the path of sin, take new start Bring your will power to the front and say will be pure. I will start anew with de termination. and no matter what the temptation take God as your guide and follow in His footsteps. Remember He was tempted almost beyond endurance. Remember the pleasures of this life are not all. You may drink of the cup of sin, you may quaff to your hearts con- tent, but you must pay in the end, and according to your sins so will you pay. Lift up your eyes to Gods pure skies and fight the battle to a finish. Give your life to His service, work for the betterment of your fallen sister Help her to take the firm stand your own feet have taken. Build up founda-

The annual meeting at Auburn of the Alabama farm demonstration agents came to a close on August II, after being in session an entire week.
 Considerable time was given to the discussion of the production Of crops and live stock at this critical time when the world is in such great need of food. But it was realized that pro- duction is not our only problem. Ala bama is producing a big crop of food and feed About 100000 more acres are planted to corn than last year, which means that around 100000. 900 bushels will be produced. An enor- nous crop of velvet beans is now growing. How shall this years unpre- cedented crop be disposed?

Among the agents who spoke on those subjects were Wilson of Covington county, Pittman of Coffee. Hollings- worth of Lauderdalo. Blake of Dallas, Vaughn of Macon.

tion of goodness and purity that will reach to the skies. Climb bravely on and remember the road does not end at the top of the hill. Nor at the bot tom. Over the hill lies a valley that cannot be crossed but by death, and though the valley be oark with shadows, beyond the shadows is great light. Our reward awaits us if we prove faithful and we may dwell through all eternity with God beyond the valleys edge. That over wonder is the City Eternal, our future home if we so will.
 Live your future life so that death will have no power to terrify your mind and fill it with vague forebodings of the hour when heart and flesh shall fail. Believe in this comforting thought, that we shall still hold together" That death is a continuous line not broken by the disso- lution of the body. Believe that by going through deaths valley and by our faith in Gods mercy we will live again.
 Is it not a beautiful thought to know that if we so will we may inhabit a home beyond the grave in which there is no curse, where never a sorrow can touch us. Where all is bright and beautiful. Then strive to reach that home. Re- member that after all is said and done here on this earth the things that seem sweetest now will turn to dust and ashes at lfes close. It will be sweet to feel and know then that life has not ended by death. It has only just begun.-Wich- ita Eagle.

of communication will be utilized to carry to every household definite, simple in- structionS for canning, drying, and stor- ing with ordinary home equipment, the perishable products plentiful or about to become abundant in it's neighborhood. Ev- cry daily newspaper, including those pub lished in. foreign languages, has been re- quested to publish in each issue practical advice on food conservation developed by the departments food specialists, and prepared by experienced writers. Women who understand canning and drying are to be urged to put their knowledge at the service of their neighbors and to help them conserve fruits and vegetables. Chambers of commerce. commercial or- ganiZations, women's clubs schools, and other institutions are to be encouraged to provide practical demonstrations con- ducted by local volunteers.
 The department of agriculture will as- sign it's field force of canning and dry ing specialists for intensive service in the campaign, and through the co-opera- tion of the state agricultural colleges, the cooperating county agentS-men and women-and leaders of the canning clubs will direct and lead the movement in their special territories. The plans include also effective cooperation with all state or local agencies in a position to demon- strate or encourage the saving of food.
 TO STIMULATE CONSUMPTION
 To supplement the canning and drying campaign, the committee has arranged for special propaganda designed to induce the public to eat more fruits and vege- tables while they are locally plentiful and thereby lessen the drain on meat. eggs and other staple foods. It is believed that with little change in dietary habits and with actual benefit to health, in many ir stances, every family, by eating perish able summer foods, can reduce the con- sumption of staples importantly and save large amounts of food for military and other vital purposes now and later in the season.
 The committee in charge requests every citizen to follow closely suggestions and instructions to be published within the next three weeks in the daily press and agricultural publications in the "A states. The department of agriculture, Washing ton D. C., has ordered unusually large editions of it's practical bulletins on home canning and drying, and these it will be glad to supply free to applicants. Citi- zens also should seek the practical ad- vice of their county agent and their state agricultural college and to attend tha demonstrations or lectures on canning and drying announced for their locali- ties.
