GERMANY HAS BIG PROBLEM
TO HOLD THROUGH WINTER

The TELEGRAPH of Amsterdam has
just published some instructive arti-
cles on the food and agricultural sit
uation in Germany. In the last arti-
Gle WHICH is in the form of letter
from Oldenburg on winter prospects
in the fatherland, the outlook is
made particularly dark. The state
ments are so minute and circumstan-
tial that they carry some weight.
The Telegraaf's correspondent deals
simply with facts, and leaves the
reader the task of drawing conclu-
sions.
The American public is well aware
that the German crops are bad, that
a great deal of the wheat and rye
has failed. There can be no doubt
of this. But it is not generally
known that the potato crop is dis
appearing. The reasons given do not
exactly tally. Early in the autumn
1t was said that hot weather and
drought had been exceedingly de-
structiVe; that the harvest of grain
had been the chief sufferer whereas
potatoes had done better. Now
comes the report that there is a great
scarcity even of potatoes, caused
by cold, wet and mold, and that the
farmers We're sending in to the Gov
ernment complaints that they could
not supply the required quantities.
It is reasonable to suppose that, be-
tween these two views, there may be
a third or middle view, and that the
scarcity is not so great as it appears
E'aImppS Con1nInin
The German farmers also COM
plain that too much is expected of
them. They urge that it is impos-
sible for them to produce plentiful
harVests of rye, wheat, onions and
turnips without the necessary labor
and machinery. 1t seems certain
that tools and agricultural machines
are lacking, probably owing to the
shortage of iron and steel. Hinden-
burg, it is stated, has declined to
send men back from the front to
available has suffered in health and
strength from want of food, and
production from the soil necessarily
suffers too.
AS grain is scarce, it has been diff
cult TO feed pigs, chickens and cattle
1t is inevitable that cggs, milk and
meat will be scarcer this winter than
ever. The farmers feel that the
bread ration must be reduced still
further during the months of Decem-
Der, January and February. Milk
has declined in quantity and quality
and the end is not yet. for the sup
ply of milk is subject to variations of

DARING STAMPEDE RIDERS SHOW
THEIR SKILL AT THE MAJESTIC
Breeze From the Wild West, Heretofore Shown
Only in the Movies

In the West, the principal event is
a riding and roping contest for cow
boys and cowgirls. These have been
given under various titles. The one
held annually at Cheyenne, Wyoming,
is given on Frontiers Day, and has
been called THE Frontiers Contest"
In other places they have been called
roundups and stampedes.
Last summer the first stampede
was given in New York. 1t was en-
gendered by Guy Weadick and was
gwen in the enormous Speedway at
Shecpshead Bay. Here were brought
together from the ranches through
out the West nearly every boy or girt
who was at all expert in the saddle
or with n lariat. No salaries were
paid and the contestants sale reward
was his or her ability to win a prize.
Mr.. Weadick has taken a group of
the prize winners and is presenting
them in vaudeville under the name of

scribes as "VaudeyilIe's widest West

strange that the collapse has not
come before. 1t was freely predicted
when cotton was cut off. AS to cop
per, the last technical papers in Ger
many stated that manganese could
be used as substitute, at least, in
making steeel. Rubber has been
manufactured and appears to be q
success. The reports that motor tires
are now made of old rags and leather
seem trifie overdrawn. Similarly,
1t doec not seem very probable that
petroleum is dwindling. Motor cars
in Germany were long ago fitted with
alcohol burners.
One feature of these reports is un-
doubtedly true and is most grave. 1t
is being stated in all the German
medical journals that the shortage of
food and the cheap substitutes made
necessary by the war have had their
inevitable effect in causing disease.
Epidemics of typhus, dysentery, tu-
berculosis and smallpox are becoming
hard to control. In regard to small
poX Germany was once better pro-
tected than any other country. The
outbreak and spread of such epi-
denies are the best evidence of bad
and insufficient food.
Save Food
1t might seem n hopeless task to
build up a vast and scientific organ
ization in the midst of war to COM
bat disease and hunger. That is
true; but the point is that the war
has not yet been carried into Ger
many itself, and the people are con-
centrated on the saving of food.
Their resistance is also an old estab-
lished tradition. Spanish writers,
who have published some equably
poised articles on Germany, do not
hint that Germany and Austria are
sure to collapse before long. The

LIKE ELECTRIC

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire
which rings the bell. When your
shoes press against your corn it
pushes it's sharp roots down upon

Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. A
few drops applied directly upon 4

shrivels up so it lifts right out, root
