Aid to Red Cross

wheat growing. Alabama raises now only about 1,OOo,OOo bushels. It should be multiplied fivefold.
 The Irish potato crop of the United States is now promising. In 1915 the yield was 36o, ,0o0,O bushels. That years crop will be exceeded, and some forecasts call for 100000, ,000 to 500,0O0, ,O00-bushel crop. The south has always been large buyer or Irish potatoes and a large seller of sweets. An increased acreage of sweet potatoes will be cultivated this year and it may not be too much to expect a 100000, ,0O0-bushel crop as against 75, 100000 bushels in 1915.
 Now that the south has been im- pressed with the urgent need of feed ing itself and of the comparatively easy way in which it can be done, weather conditions permitting, there should never be the necessity of an other food preparedness campaign. Science will be more widely applied than ever and every farmer will be progressive farmer. Big food crops in Alabama and every other southern state will be taken for granted.

Sixteen Babies
 In One Grave

e KITTEN children, only two of l0 them over five years old, were laid in common grave in London's East End They fell victims to the last German air raid on London. Messages from the King and Queen and the attendance of other notables marked this sad occasion, the last scene in another one of those wanton crimes which have blackened the name of Germany before all the world.
 These babies, and many others mur- dered by submarines, Zeppelins and airplanes of Germany, have not died in vain, for their fate has strength ened the determination of the allied governments to make impossible in 1 the future repetition of such fiend- i ish acts.
 The German military authorities deny that they deliberately set out | to slaughter women and children. The death of these helpless noncom- batants, they say, comes within the fortunes of war;" but in raid I

Rain Cormes to
 Refresh the Earth

U&SH4 SSDH0 SO0S 4<scSO SOB
 1THE showers in Alabama yester- S day were most grateful. They came in good time to refresh the earth; to make glad the field crops and the home garden. Showers may be expected again today, if not for several days. The value of this rain from an economic point of view can not be overestimated. The crop out look hereabouts is splendid, and as for the vegetable gardens, they will be looking their best this morning.
 When the Make Garden" slogan was started early in the spring many people thought it craze, or fad, or war scare, but fortunately it was taken seriously by trained food con- servationists and leading citizens, and then by home gardeners them selves.
 An organized movement encour- aged the amateur horticulturists and the result is seen today in the vast number of well cultivated vegetable patches and in the impetus given to the local canning industry. What Is sometimes called a drouth is not al- ways damaging to the home garden, if the man, or boy, or lady who works the garden does it with intelligence and systematically.
 Keeping the earth well stirred up is the next best thing to irrigation. But the rain came and nothing can equal nature. Unless all signs fail this will be a great summer for the gardens.

SAVING FOOD.

Food Administrator Hoover esti-
mates that there are in America 20,-
0OO, 900 kitchens, where 20,000,000
breakfasts, 20,000, 900 noon meals and
20, ,0OO, 900 evening meals are cooked
for the 100 100000 people of the Uni
ted States,
This impressive round number, TO-
0O0, 900, should stick in the mind of
the housewife. If each of the 20,-
600 900 busy housekeepers of this
country should say to herself, ut will
make no real difference if | waste
a little sugar or meat or fat, the
total amount of waste thus definite
" arranged for would be a great
calamity. Five ounces of sugar saved
daily in each of the 20,000,000 homes
would be a saving Of 185, ,0O0, 900
pounds of sugar i'll each month. A
pound of flour saved in each kitchen
each week would represent an enor-
nous saving of wheat in year.
If, in short, each Of the 10000, 900
housekeepers of the nation says to
herself, q will do all can to save
food because my saving will help the
allied nations and so will help end
the war;" each will watch closely The
spoonfuls that she measures out and
the slices and the scraps Of food that
remain after meal has been eaten.
Thus will the patriotic women of the
land give service to the cause OF
democracy and lasting peace.
There used to be proverb of ply
sicians and dietitians to this effect;

WHAT PIE FOR
THANKSGIVING?

Who ever heard of real Thanksgiving
dinner without miney pie
1t can't be done.
There may be cakes and cookies and pud-
dingsand all kinds Of sweet things but unless
there is min6e pie there just isn't any real
Thanksgiving dinner.
And since it takes mince pie to top off
the feast dinners, wouldn', il be good idea
ito have mince pie to top off many Of the
other good meals Wouldn't it just ss4ke
the meal on many occasionsi
As youprobably know, NONE Such M1NcR
MEAT comes in an up to- date package
form-secure from handling; is moderate In
price and becomes three times the package
weight when you addthe necessary moisture.
1t is the economical way to buy mince
meat because it prevents waste.
The package recipes are good for pies,
cakes, puddings, and cookies.
Try NONE Suca War Pie-no top
crust. Saves -four, shortening, labor, money
- half the crust. Helps the u. S. Food
Administration.
The pie that is good enough for Thanks
giving dinner is good enough for all other
meals-breakfasts, lunches, suppers, and in
the dinner pail. Try il with NosE SUCH

dead and down timber that is going
to waste in the timbered sections in
this state.
In the face of an almost certain
shortage of coal before spring, it
would seem that extraordinary meas
ures should be taken to make use of
this timber, and which may be Of
great value if properly handled.
In all communities there are many
people who can make use of this ap-
parently worthless material for fuel
in their kitchen ranges in place Of
coal, or by people who are not abun-
dainty supplied with the worlds
goods, who cannot afford coal at al
most any price. The difficulty in OBJ
tanning permission from the owners
of timber tracts to gather this tim

to assist our nation in outstanding

selves with fuel even though it might
be available. Those who have always
been abundantly supplied with coal
will experience a sense of security,
with several loads of this sort of
fuel in the back lot. The greatest
value, however, would be in the fact
that it would supply great number
of families who are not in position
to use more expensive fuel and who
would be eager to seize any oppor>
tunity that might be offered them to
obtain their winters fuel from the
neglected timber tracts of nearby
farmers.
Organized effort can well be made
to good advantage in every commun-
ity, to see that those who can use
this sort of fuel in place of coal. are
provided with all that they can use.
or given an opportunity to secure it
for themselves. 1t will prove very
useful and economical if properly
handled. !

OUTLOOK FOR PROFIT IN HOGS.

A statement which appeared in
certain Chicago newspapers recently
to the effect that the United States
Food Administrator intends to reduce
hog prices to SO q hundred weight
has caused great anxiety among
many farmers and has preclpltated
some unloading Of hcgs on the mar
ket.
A. D. Wilson, federal food admin
istrator for Minnesota has received
from Herbert C. Hoover, United
States food administrator, an abso-
lutte denial of such an intention on
the part Of the food administration.
Mr.. Hoover goes 30 far to say that
all the powers Of the administration
will be used to keep the prices at
which allied and governmental pur-
chases are made on plane that will
assure a profit to producers of meat
animals. Mr.. Hoover adds that in his
opinion the best market obtainable
for the present corn crop Of the coun-
trv will be through livestock; that
the need of increased production OF
beef and pork can be secured only
BY profit on production.
The war has brought decrease
Of more than 28,00O,OO0 hogs in this
country through the intense demand
for pork and fat and the use or land
for the raising Of grain for human
food instead Of for hog feed More
over, the export Of pork has increased
66.1 per cent since the war began.

later on when the war is memory,
charity born Of gratitude for peace
leads us to declare that in a measure

degree the product of his environ
ment. in some degree the victim OF
his hereditary delusions about the
adivine right of kings" and all that,
we have neither time nor patience
now for such hair-splitting.
But the kaiser recently gave some
advice to the Germans which it will
profit us to take to ourselves. He said:
1t is unworthy for any German
to live well when even the best
people 90 without things. What
we have of food-stuffs is COM
mon property, which by just di-
vision is sufficient to keep us alive
for an unlimited time and which
permits us to await final victory
with calm. Who takes more than
his share sins against those who
serve the fatherland.
Substitute "American" for Ger
man. and America" for "the father
land" and enlarge the scope of th'
thought to take in not only food bu

ficiency in war-making. and that ad
vice of the German kaiser to th'
Germans is good advice for all of us
