LONDON, June 15.--England is
following the American senate de-
bate en- the food bill with intense
interest. The allies are admittedly
anxious as to Americas position
on the food problem Of the world.
That is reflected daily by the
Eritish newspapers.
The Mail and Post. for instance,
emphasized the vital Importance OF
early congressional action so that
tie allies may know just how far
they can depend upon Americas
assistance and thus be able to
frame their own policies according

they fully realize the allies great

everywhere that private speculation
was no longer attractive and all
desired to meet prices with the
least possible disturbance 10 the
tfade machinery, but how and when
the problem OF food control in the
United states is 20 be settled is
still obscure. America must settle
that matter in her own way but

he United States for food supplies

Until then we will be unable to
nap out comprehensive program.
The next cereal year is now rapidly

The following is taken from a paper

Wausau young man:

Hilton E. Dressed, the director, is
young man of pleasing personality,
and marked capability in his line
We cannot recall that any director
who has ever drilled a cast of anna
teurs here ever showed more marked
ability. This is a play in which 125
characters must each be made up and
thoroughly drilled in their respective
parts. To DO this work in ten days
SC that there is not a break in the
rendering from start to finish, is an
accomplishment of which Mr.. Dres-

FIRES FROM A NEW FORM OF
CARELESSNESS

A new form of fire peril is coming
into prominence as a cause of much
destruction, and it's fires are so di
rectly associated with carelessness
that it has been deemed necessary
to issue a special warning to the peo-
pie of the United States. Because
of their convenience, small electric
devices, such as pressing irons, curl
ing irons, toasters, electric pads or
blankets, electric plate warmers, and
electric sterilizers or heaters, are now
to be found in almost every commun-
ity. If these were used with proper
care the danger would be negligible,
but, unfortunately, a proportion of
their users do not realize the PERIL of
leaving them in circuit when not in
use. In such cases these devices
tend to become overheated, where
upon they are likely to set fire to any
thing combustible with which they are
in contact.
1t is safe to say that most of these
fires are entirely preventable, and can
be charged to nothing but careless
ness on the part of The user. Various
safety" devices have been added by
certain manufacturers of these arti-
cles, and among them are some. that
are fairly effective, but there is one
absolute precaution which should be
borne in mind at ala times by every
user, namely, that of shutting of the
current when not personally and con-
tinuously supervising the use.

LYCEUM NUMBER

On Friday evening of this week the
last number of the winter lyceum
course under the auspices of the Min
isterial association of Wausau will be
given. Professor William A. Kick
hoefer, B. A, Phi. D., is scheduled to
appear at this time. DR.. Kiekhoefer,
who is assistant professor of Econom-
les and Sociology in the University of
Wisconsin, is man of broad expe-
rience on chautauqua and lyceum plat
forms, and together with his research
work in the university, makes him a
powerful orator. This will undoubted-
ly be as interesting as the past num-
bers on the course.
These lyceum courses are education
al and enjoyable. Much has been said
in the past about educational features,
but a great deal of pleasure is de-
rived from entertainments like the
course which has been conducted this
winter. The prices for these enter
tainments have been low enough so
that all who cared to could attend
