FOOD SUPPLY.
For France During Coming Year Is
Grave Problem.

Paris. The purchase abroad and
transportation of about 10000. 600
bushels of wheat and other cereals is
one of the problems of France for the
campaign of 1918. Four hundred
thousand tons of shipping a month
will be required for the importation
of supplies the country must get on
the outside.
The realization of this problem
will be partly accomplished through
the Unified Allies Purchasing Board,
eliminating more and more private
trade with the country. The devel-
opment of a ministerial department
of supply will eliminate commissary
department buyers. while increasing
stringent measure regarding shipping
will increase the tonnage available
for this object.

charges on products essential to the
life of the country.
Henceforth. all tonnage under the
French flag will be Systematically
divided between the different cate

order to assure the utmost regularity
of supply. Certain voyages which
were of no great utility to France
have been stopped, and the transpor-

secondary utility to nation at war
have been suspended. Orders have
been given that cotton and tobacco
must be bought from the nearest

LET US AWAKEN.
(COntributed)

In this modern age, IN this fast age
of the American people. we do not
have time to stop and consider it
seems, as to whether we have any
great men or not.
In this day and age people are too
prone to criticisc--we have gotten too
narrow, TT least the mass oe people
have. to see any good and great
qualities in a man unless he is Of one
political and religious belief.
Let us away with such thoughts,
especially should we at this time--in
these perilous times. when our coun-
tvs welfare and our own liberty
loving homes are in danger Of being
destroyed.
What matters now about politics
Isn't it men we want-men of unself
fish brains. who will give their time
and thought for the benefit of the
mass of common people. In this age
people are too selfish, seeking wealth,

selves only. or for their own immc-
date little circle. Let us awaken,
and think little for ourselves.
We have at this very time, man,
a hero. great man. a brainy man,
a tried and true man. who is nov
standing at the head of our Nation
(who would want to take his place
just at this time ?)-striving with
might and main to lead this great
concourse of people to vicory and to
right. Just anybody can criticise,
but it takes wonderful man to be-
faultless.
Should we not at this critical time
lay down all political preiudices and
like the people of old who upheld the
hands of Moses. their leader. so let
us uphold the hands Of our great
leader at this time.

National Army camps is to the same

National Army camps is to the same
effect-that the chosen are in the
main enthusiastic for service and
that such as have been found unfit
ted have gone home in sorrow and
humiliation.
If the young men called for duty
are not offering objections, what Gle
ment of the population is it that COM
plains and resists? First. there are
the so-called pasifsts. domestic and
alien, dislking war of every kind. as
they say, but especially war upon
Germany. Then we have the Inter-
national Socialists. who dream Of q
love-feast of the proletariat which
their dear brethren in the FatheIland
have done nothing TO promote. AZ
ter them come the politicians who adj
here to the Prussian belief that the
German reservists here are numerous
enough to outvote the Americans
and finally we have n handful of col
lege professors and hysterical WON
en-.
Wherever we find antagonism to
the draft we encounter an enemy. a
demagogue, a sentimentalst or a de-
serter. Practically all of the young
men selected are first and last for the
United States. Practically all who
discourage them and disapprove of
the methods by which they were
chosen are against the United States.

reservists anywhere.-New York

ANIMALS IN FIRE.

Most animals are afraid of fire,
and will fly from it in terror. To
others there is a fascination about a
flame, and they will walk into it,
even though tortured by the heat,
observes a writer in the United Pres
bytelian.
A horse in a burning stable goes
mad with fear. but a dog is as cool
in a fire as at any time. He keeps
his nose down to the floor, where the
air is purest, and sets himself calmly
to finding his way out. Cats in fire
cry piteously. They hide their faces
frcm the light and crouch IN COR
ners. When their rescuer lifts them
they are as a rule quite docile and
subdued. never biting or scratching
Birds seem to be hypnotized by
fire. and keep perfectly still; even
the loQuacious parrot in a fire has
to say. Cows, like dogs, do
not show alarm. They are easv to
lead forth and often find their way
out themselves.

WORK BY
LAS VEGAS NORMAL
DURING COMING YEAR
LARGEST ATTENDANCE IN HIS.
TORY OF SCHOOL INDICATED BY
UNUSUALLY SUCCESSFUL SUM.
MER TERM

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. 49,
Following the course recommended
by the country's best educators, and
proiting by the experience of the Do
minion of Canada, which has found 1t
a poor policy to encourage young men
under 81 years to give up their
schooling to go to war, the New Mex
leo Normal University has prepared
to encourage education during the
coming school year more than ever
before. The school has reason to ex-
pect the largest attendance in its
history because of the fact that the
summer session, just closed, showed
a marked increase in enrolment. It
was the only summer school west of
the Mississippi to show a gain, which
demonstrates that interest in educa-
tional matters in New Mexico is
growing SO rapidly that the depress-
ing effects OF the war are more than
offset.
Because of the fact that many
young men teachers will be called up
OF to serve in the army, positions Of
responsibility hitherto held by men in
the educational institutions will be
opened to the graduates Of normal
schools who are fully qualified, espec-
tally young women. Should the war
end within the next two or three
years, male high school graduates of
this years classes, II they enroll in
the Normal University this fall, will
become eligible to take many respon-
sible educational positions, such as
superintendent and in.
structors in high schools, which will
be untitled near the close of the
war-and before they reach military
age. N
The Normal University long has adj
vocated and encouraged the pursuing
Of higher courses in normal work,
with the result that 1t has many grad
who have attained the highest
1egreet Of capahility, and with the
result that education in the
state has been materially advanced.
There has been a constant demand
or these trained teachers. Imagine
much greater 1t will be during
md Immediately after the war!
The Normal University's president,
Dr.. Frank H. Fl. Roberts, Is sincere
when he urges young women and all
,oung men who are below the draft
Ige to prepare for the career Of edu-
.ators. For this reason he has
trengthened his faculty and courses
nd offers this coming fall stronger
,ttractions to students than ever be-
ore. In addition to courses In the
