Paris, Friday, Oct. 19.-The Asso-

bon, general secretary to the ministry
of foreign affairs, if he had seen the
attempts of the German press to point
out similarities between the execu-
tions Of Mata-Hari and Edith Cavell.
NJ. Cambon replied: -
"The German audacity in daring 70

veil surpasses belief. Miss Cavell was
woman respectable and respected,
and devoted to charitable work. She
was shot for aiding Belgian soldiers

man eyes, may be a crime, but not one
that endangered their army. e
"Mata-Hari was courtesan. 1t was
proved that she was a spy and the
center of a spying system. Her cor
respondence showed that she received
money from Berlin. She herself ad-
mitted that she was one of Germany's
chief spies in France, who used the
relations she had been able to make
by her mode of life. She merited no

PATRIOTIC HENS RAISE
THEIR OWN WAR GARDEN

Mansfield, GA. A. Arnold,
superintendent of parks, has a
flock of Rhode Island hens that
planted, cultivated and raised
a war garden that produced a
peck of potatoes. The largest
potato weighed II ounces, the
next one IS. ounces.
The owner says that when POI
tatoes were selling for S4.25 a
bushel last spring his wife was
so economical she pared the po-
tatoes as thin as she possibly
could, then fed the thin parings
to the chickens. Instead of eat
ing the parlngs, the chickens
planted them in the barnyard.
All summer long the fowls not
only kept the weeds down in
their war garden, but kept the
bugs off. These patriotic chick
ems did their bit to win the war
by raising "a potatoes from
three stalks that came up from
the thin parings which they con-
served.

bidding of buyers who needed supplies
in hurry has been the leading factor
in putting prices up, and against the
background of the country s manufac
turing activities the tonnage of orders
placed at abnormal quotations would
appear small if records were obtainable.
This fact is the basis of the satisfaction
felt by the larger producers over the
prices announced by the President.
These prices are not so per cent below
what they have been getting, nor any
thing near that percentage. Quotations
have long been nominal, representing in
may eases premiums which bidders
| were willing to pay for as early a mill
position as possible. Small producers
and the owners of old plants which were
reopened in order to take advantage of
the boom have been helped by high
prices, and some hardship may attend
their operation under the new schedule
i But the lowered cost of raw material
and fuel is an offset to the reduction
of their selling prices, whose effect can
not yet be ascertained.

In Times of Stress

These are certainly times of stress in

forming rigidly TO the government regu-
lations and with the demand for flour
far in excess Of the possible supply, ex-
IRENE caution in making sales is neces-
sary. We arc doing everything that is
humanity possible to favor all of our old
customers, and as nearly as we can, are
filling their orders at least to the extent
Of their past average requirements.
Current reports indicate that more lib
oral wheat receipts may be looked for
before long. SO far there has not been
enough wheat coming in to enable mills
20 run anywhere near full capacity =
something which every mill in the coun-
try ought to be doing now. Were we
dependent on daily receipts, our Com
pany could not run its mills as close TO
capacity as it has been running them,
Long before the government fixed the
price Of wheat we foresaw the present
situation and accumulated little
wheat in our elevators at prices then

order Of the day. Only in this way car

Notwithstanding the efforts of many

For instance throughout the country
