One Of the worst. if not the worst
storms, ever seen in this country at
this time Of the year, started
in Sunday night and Monday morning
it was a real raging blizzard, and
many large snow drifts were to be
seen. However, cleared up and the
outlook is that the snow will go off
and we may have some nice weather
yet before winter sets in.

0 flag of freedom! Meath thy folds
A nation great it's sway still holds!
We greet thy Stars and Stripes today
Thy Stars that shine with undimmed
ray
In mighty constellation bright;
Thy Stripes of crimson and of White
That guard thy starry field of Blue
And bind u hearts to thee anew!
Old Flag, you tell of storm and strife
Of Freedom won, of peaceful life
That ever broadened meath thy sway,
As DER a continent your way
You held in march of Destiny
Der lands that stretch from sea to
And then the seas themselves you
spanned
And Freedom brought to Orient land!
Today we greet you, Flag of Right,
For now beneath your folds unite
Once more, with purpose true and
stern,
Heroic hearts that glow and burn!
While Gathering hosts, armed for the
fray,
Gladly follow where you lead the way;
For still you float in Freedoms van,
The symbol of the hope of man!
Across the sea a challenge came
With rOars of o1ns and flash If
flame!
'Twixt Might and Right the line was
drawn
And Freedoms last great fight was

passed with little accomplished, save
through voluntary efforts by the public.
Some state and local authorities got
into action in time, but on the whole it
was a case of waiting too long.
The Hoover food administration Is
just starting work under the food con-
troll law. Such work as Hoover has
done until recently has been through
voluntary agencies. Moreover, the de-
partment of agriculture is just going
to work under the new food survey law
to campaign for the stimulation, of pro-
duction.
To Commander Ships.
Estimates included in the request
the shipping board will make for a
billion dollar appropriation to complete
its eighteen months building program
were gone over at a conference be-
tween Chairman Hurley of the board
and Secretary McAdoo.
The board needs $500,000 900 for
construction of fabricated steel ships,
$25O,OOO,O 900 to carry out commander
ing of vessels now building in private
yards and another $25O,000,000 for con
tracts for steel and wooden ships to be
let soon. The communicating program
will cost in all about $500, 10000, but
$25O,0OO,0OO of the original $3.50, 000,O 900
appropriation will be used for that pur-
pose.
Plans for taking a large amount of
tonnage out of the great lakes for At
lantic service also will be completed
by the shipping board soon. 1t is es-
timated that between 100000 and 4OO,-
600 tons can be removed before the
winter season sets in.
Pledge of Loyalty.
A striking pledge of loyalty and uni
ned support of the government in its
war preparations was given by the
werkmen of the great navy yard at
Philadelphia. In the face of strikes
and threatened strikes at other yards
engaged in the construction of needed
warships a committee representing the
employees Of the League island yard
called on Secretary Daniels and pre-
scented to him resolutions signed by the
1000 mechanics and other civilian en-
p1oyees there pledging their services to
the government and criticising all a
~ifestations of labor disloyalty.
Secretary Daniels was visibly affect

Especial Correspondence

~
Washiqgton.zCreation of a live stock
industry commission of 100 volun-
teer members to undertake a campaign
to increase the nations meat produc-
ton during the war was announced by
the department of agriculture and the
food administration.
The committee has a plan for the
transfer of thousands of head of cattle,
sheep and hogs from the big western
producing districts to small farms in
central and southern states, where a
great amount of feed goes to waste.
An executive committee, including Gift
ford Pinchot of the food administra-
ton, G. II. Rommel of the agricultural
department and e. @. Lassater, a Tex
as stockman, will direct the work of
the larger committee.
Under the arrangement planned
small farmers may place orders for
live stock with county agents of the
agricultural department. Live stock
exchanges will assist in the movement
without charge to the purchasers.
!. In a statement setting forth the plan
the food administration and the agri-
cultural department call attention to
the heavy demand for meat abroad and
the continued diminution of European
herds. America will be called upon to
furnish the allies with increasingly
large amounts of meat as the war
pointed out, only by a reduction in
American consumption and an increas
ed supply in this country.
A permanent improvement in condi-
tons In this country with respect to
the cost of living is what many Off
Gals and others who have been urging
Intelligent attention to the foodstuffs
problem now believe is likely to result
from the activities which the wal has
forced On the people.
In recent weeks it has become evil
dent that, in spite of the slowness with
which the country responded to ap-
peals for greater production and for
the conservation of foodstuffs and
their more intelligent distribution, the
movement at last is gaining such mo-
mentum and proportions that much
will be accomplished by 1t.
Those who are skeptical as to reduc-
ton in cost of foodstuffs undoubtedly
have some good reasons for their skep-
ticism. On the other hand, there are
many reasons to be hopeful
Should Be Better Next Year.
The latter part of this fall and the
coming winter should begin to see
definite lowering of costs of foodstuffs
to the consumer along some lines, and
1918 should be an improvement over
1917. This is true In spite of the fact
that If the war goes on the demands
from abroad for American foodstuffs
will be increased.
1t is to be borne In mind that the
cry for increased production of food in
the current season was started too late
to be of full benefit this year. Partly
because the department Of agriculture
and the rest of officialdom moved slow
~, partly because congress also took
its time about passing legislation for
stimulation of production, the spring

cilities OF the railroads of the Unit

the coming month In transporting
nearly 100000 men OF the Ma
tional Army and National Guard to
the various eantonments, carrying

The movement Of troops must
have precedence over all other traf-

have been run to accommodate those
attending state aud county fairs. 1t
is possible that in places there may
be difficulty in maintaining on GER

FLOUR To DROP $500 A barrel.

Grain elevators began operating
Monday under license restrictions
prescribed by the food administra-
tion. None will be allowed to store
wheat or rye for more than 80
days.
Flour mills will be put under the
licensing system within a few days.
They will be restricted to max
imum profit of 25 cents barrel on
-four and cannot make future sales
more than 80 days in advance.
AS soon as the new wheat crop
begins to move through the mills,
the -four prices to the householder
according to the food administration
should drop at least $500 a bar
rel. which would represent a total
savings to the public of more than
$50, 100000 annually.

At the conference of councils OF
defense of seventeen states, held in
Chicago, A, VI. Sehoyer, vice-presi-
dent Of the RenHsylyania lines,
states that FROM Jaa. 60 Aug. /
the railroads transpertea more coal
than in the same BeFiod of any
previous year. Taking all classes
of traffic, the railroads rendered
26 per cent more freight serviee
last lHRh than in the same month
of last year, although there was an
increase In cars Of only per cent
and IN locomotives of legs than one
half of one per cent. They were
able to do this heoause they in
creased by % per cent the amount
OF tPeffis handled by each freight
car. Railway. managera attribute
this increase in oar efficiency to bet.
ter operation of the roads them.
selves and to patriotic cooperation
which the railways are receiving
from shippers in loading cars heav-
ier and loading and unloading them
more promptly.
W. NJ. Jeffers, yiee-president and
general manager of the Union Pa
cifiQ railroad, speaking OF the ac-
tivities OF that line, said.
"rhe Union Pacific railroad has
handled 9,S19 more cars OF coal
since jan l, than 1t handled during
the same time last year, an in
crease of nearly 20 per cent, This
means an increase In coal tonnage
available for consumption, of 490,-
$50 tons. At tons to the family
this increase alone would supply the
winters stock for 61,356, families.
In July alone, we handled 1,543
more cars of coal than in July last
