PINCH OF WINTER
WILL Be FELT BY
GERMANS DEGREES

Of the mainstays of German diet this
winter.
The fuel problem has not been solv-
ed, and city populations may expect to
notice the results of this fact keenly
from time to time. The coal commits
sioner prophecies that the pinch will
be felt within the next few days.
The railway administration Of Sax
ony announced that travel will not be
allowed without special permission.
Soldiers in the home camps are linn
tied i'm their weekend furloughs, and
Saturday and Sunday trips of mothers
and sweethearts to see the boys in
camp are stopped. The Prussian rail
ways will probably follow suit.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 3. - Some
prospects which the German people
are called upon to face the coming
winter are officially announced in Ger
man newspapers, as follows:
There is only enough shoe leathes
for the use of miners, fishermen, canal
workers and a few allied trades. Tic
manufacture Of leather footwear for
the rest of the population will soon be
suspended. They must get along with
wooden soles and cloth uppers.
Finally, after the fashion plates
for winter are out, the government has
decreed that women's skirts must be
made with a reduced amount of ma
terial, which will necessitate their be-
ing made both shorter and tighter.
There is a big shortage in vege-
tables and no hope of any material i'm

Fat Serves as Bullet

Every pound fiat is as of service as every bull
let and every hog is of greater value to the winning of
this war than a she'll"
The administrator said the allies deficiency of wheat
production is 196OOO0OO bushels with imports of ST.
100000 bushels required to maintain normal consumption.
He estimated the aggregate American Canadian Austria
Gan Indian and Argentine export surplus at 70OOOOOOO
bushels but pointed that lack of shipping made it nee
esary for this country and Canada to bear the burden Of
the allies deficit
The problem is simply one of ships" he said. IF
ample shipping existed there would be need for saving
on increased production of wheat the part of the Amer
lean people But if we can produce such economies and
stimulate production in the United States and Canada
viii enable us to feed the allies absolutely from this con-
tnent and thus enable them to live without sending
ship farther aed than our Atlantic seaboard we can re-
Ssr the submarine indefinitely
Placing the United States wheat export surplus from
this years crop SO0O0OOO bushels and Canadas at $780,
100000 bshels Mr. Hoover urged domestic economies to
increase this countrys surplus to 150OO0OOO bushels.

there will be no foreign market for at least 4O000O0OO
bushels. The government must then take the wheat

The administrator said pork products were more Vi
tally needed by the allies than beef.
In the matter Of beef he said "the allies can sup
port themselves without any consequential expansion Of
imports from the United States"
Expects High Prices
In view of the European situation and the American
shortage in hogs he pointed out there would be high
average price for pork products and therefore it would
be to the vital advantage of every farmer to raise pigs
adding:
1--WE need keep-a-pig movement in this country"
BY preventing undue increases in forage prices Mr.
Hoover promised that the food administration would CO.
operate in measures to stimulate livestock production He
also said there need for further production of sheep
for meat and particularly for wool extensively used in uni
forms.
Our American farmers" he added, would be wise
to realize that for a considerable period after the war

All Rlqht Again

Sheriff Finley one night last
week picked up a fellow from the
street who was acting in a pecu-
liar manner, and found that the
machinery on his upper deck
was indeed running wild. He
gave his name as George Giffney
and La Crosse was where he had
been living, and from there his
registration card was dated. He
also had a labor union card,
showing that he had been mem
ber of the organization since 1912
While the fellow was pretty
wild the sheriff took kindly care
of him, and fed him some good,
nutritious food, and he commen-
ced to show signs of improve.

Jacotel it became evident that it
was simply a case of jimjams.
The man had been employed in
a Lacrosse brewery, and had for
some time past been putting all
his energy in an endeavor to dis
pose of the entire output of the
brewery himself. This was not
satisfactory to the proprietor 5
of the establishment who wanted
him to diversity his labors and he
became a travelling man, but
travelled on booze instead Of
bread. He had gotten along this
far towards his home at North
Yakima, Wash, when he com

that nobody else could see, and
they weren't pretty things either

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
Harry Stevenson, Struck Down While
Going from the Field

A very deplorable accident oc
Cured near the farm home Of
Adolf Anderson, some 8 miles
south of town. last Saturday at
about 3 o clock, when a thunder
storm which struck this locality
passed over that part. Harry
Stevenson, young man about
19 years of age and son of Mr..
and and Mrs. Andrew Stevenson,
living near the Anderson farm,
saw the approaching storm and
was hurrying from the field,
riding one of the horses and lead
ing another which he had been
working, when the lightning
struck the boy and the horse he
was riding, killing both instantly.
The horse he was leading was
struck to the ground but was
not killed. Walter Anderson, a
cousin Of the young man, was
was walking some distance back,
saw the accident and hurried to
pull the body of his dead COM
rade from under the horse.
The young man was quite we'll
known in this city, where he had
been attending high school for
the past two years, and was IN
the graduating class Of 1919 He
was a manly young fellow, of fine
principles and habits, and his
sorrowing parents in their be
reavement have the heartfelt
sympathy Of all the Milbank
friends who knew him.
The funeral service of the
young man was held at the farm
home last Tuesday at 2 o'clock
p NJ Rev Oppedahl, of Marriet-
ia, conducting the ceremonies,
and the remains laid at rest in

and one sister Ethel, and other

The uncertainty of the wheat
market, occasioned by the fact
that the government is likely to
take over the marketing of the
grain, and the fact that the ele.
Yators refuse to store, but little
wheat is being brought in, and
20 far as yields are concerned
nothing very definite can be as
certained. Will Gaynor reports
that some of his wheat on what
is known as the Peck place went
as high as Is bu. to the acre and
on his other farms yielding l2
bushels. Other reports are that
the wheat is going from IL to II
bushels, but almost universally
is of good quality. More than
the usual quantity of rye and
barley is being brought into the
market this season and the quail.
ity is the very best.
Farmers are compelled to sell
their wheat If brought to the
elevator, and as the present price
is less than 81 they very natur-
silly refuse to sell, for If the gov
ernment sets an arbitrary
price it will probably be over 81.
