The scarcity of fat is felt more

UNCLE SAM SAYS GET
READY FOR ONE MORE LOAN
About Four Billion Dollars Likely 30
Raised Some Time In February
Would Be More But For Last
Oversubscriptlon

Washington, Dec 1.-Uncle Sam 1S
very glad the people of the United
States loaned themselves huge
bunch of money through the Liberty
Bond issue in October, and passes this
word to you: Will you please get your
pocketbook set for another call for
about four billion dollars along in Feb
ruary?
And that leads us to little talk In
which we will speak Of billions of dol
lars just as carelessly as we used to
talk about pennies.
The government expects to raise
something like eighteen billion dol
lars by the end of the fiscal year
which terminates June 30 next.
The first Liberty Loan netted ex-
actly two billions. The second one
called for three billions minimum.
with so per cent of all over-subscrip-
tions. AS something like five billions
were offered by the people. this will
i IUdhc LIc ScCOuu iOdu uct CiObo W AouA
billion dollors.
The government expects to raise by
direct taxation through the war reve-
nue. bill something like four billion
dollars. This makes six billions
through bonds and four billions
through taxes, leaving a balance of
eight billions to be secured, unless
some sudden and at present dnfore-
seen circumstances makes the figures
leap skyward.
1t is the opinion of Treasury Depart
ment officials and of captains OF
finance that loans must not come
closer together than one every 80
days. This is especially necessary
with regard to the third one. as the
Christmas holidays are coming upon
us.
So it is not wild guess to say the
third Liberty loan will come in Feb
ruary and that the goal will be four
billion dollars.

Dublin, Nov. 30.-John Dillor.
Nationalist member Of the House OF
Commons, addressing the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians in Dublin recently
condemned the Sim Feiners for
alternating the sympathy Of the
United States from the Irish cause" :"
The friendship and support OF the
Americans in 1reland's struggle fo-
liberty was their greatest asset, he
said But what was happening In
America today filled him with hor-
ror. Friends and supporters of the
Sim Feiners in Ireland, he said,
we're now charged with treason to
the flag, and with the entering into
a combination with Germany to de-
feat America. He was deeply coll
vinced that the Irish race in Amer
lea would take steps Immediately to
disassociate the name of Ireland from
such conduct.
Nobody" said Mr.. Dillon. could
exaggerate the fatal character of the
pclicy of undertaking to make Ire
land a republic. and, as a first step
In that career, quarreling with the
United States and turning on tho
lfay which was the dearest to the
Irish race Of any flag IN the world.

Christiania, Dec 1.-The food
situation in Norway has grown from
had to worse, especially since the
American embargo was imposed. So
long as the commercial relations
could be maintained between Nor
way and the United States, the i'm
FORT Of food was about big enough
to meet the consumers demand. Elk .
cept for the steadily increasing
prices of all articles of food every

only form of rationing being sugar
which could only be bought from

ter had been too optimistic When
cablegrams from Washington stated
that the American government was
going to place an embargo on differ
ent articles the answer from the
Norwegian government to the press

way was that 1t only meant that
Norway should guarantee that moth

appliances to be used on Norwegian
ships traversing the war zones.
Each lifeboat must be half covered
with waterproof cloth as a shelter,
and must be provided with oil-skins
for the crew, with signal lights, hand
pump, and ample supplies of bread,
meat and water. Each ship must
carry an extra boat at least los cubic
feet, and large enough to take the
whole crew. This boat must contain
air chambers and have a cork belt
around it. Either this boat or one of
the regular lifeboats must be sup
piled with a motor, together with fuel
for two days and tow rope. Pas

ground in a lead mine This was the
hardest work he ever encountered.
After / had been down three
hours he said, I'D have given any
thing to see daylight again. I tell you
that it is worth every cent of that
$4.2O to shovel lead ore into those
cars way down there where it is black
as pitch and damp, smelly and
dangerous. Those Pickering lamps on
the caps of the miners far off in a
heading, the incessant and deafening
pounding of the drills, the shouts of
the mule skinners, the rumble of the
cars, the eternal dripping and damp
ness, and the scraping of shovels and
pounding of mauls are more than |
care about Never again, say l."
The tomatoes began to ripen and
he left his work in the mine. For
forty days he was busy canning his
tomatoes. He gathered his tomatoes
when they were about half ripe-to
let them ripen fully in the field would
mean to lose half of them-and
placed them in a shed to ripen. When
ripe they were washed, scalded,
skinned, placed in the cans and cooked
for half an hour. Then they were
taken out and labeled or stored away.
One thousand cans were sold to
merchants at Flat River, Mo-, for
II 1-2 cents a can. Three thousand
were taken by Armour & Company and
eight hundred by merchants in his own
town.
Tumbleson estimates that he has
cleared at least $40O He has not only
done that but he has also supplied his
family with canned beans, corn and
tomatoes for the winter. He supplied
them with garden truck and the land
is in better shape than it was be-
fore.
Next year Tumbleson intends to
raise part of his tomatoes and buy the
remainder How he ever came to
think of canning is something that he
does not know. Il think it originated
in the family, but | don't know.
Probably my mother is responsible;
anyhow, l started canning last year
with an outfit that cost s25, and next
year I intend to put up $4,000 cans if
possible"
Canning has struck Tumbleson as
having possibilities and he intends to
follow it after he finishes his course
in the College of Agriculture. To go
slowly at it and steadily increase, is
his plan. What he made this year will
be taken up largely in increasing his
business next year, and for that reason |
