During the last week there has
been no new Developments in the
food situation except that the restrac'
lions on the use OF sugar have been
lifted by the food administration, and
the sugar bowl has gone back on the
table.
It has been the policy OF the food
administration to put as few restricr
lions on the use of foodstuffs as pos
sible, but in order to meet the emer'
gencies facing the administration, GER
tain restrictions were necessary.
The limit on the use of sugar, a.
the sugar condition improved, was
Increased from two pounds per per-
son per month to three pounds and
finally to four pounds, and since the
coming of peace and the Increased
shipments Of sugar have commences
to come into our ports, the limit has
been withdrawn.
1t may astonish the public to know
that during the months Of July. Aul
gust, September, October and Novems
Der this year, the American people
saved no less than 776.000 tons Of
sugar over their normal eensumD-
ton. This conservation includes the
amount of sugar saved by the restrio-
lions placed on confectionery and soft
drink products. 1t is estimated by
the u. S. Food Administration that
during the past year the American
people have been saved the enormous
sum Of eight hundred million dollars
On sugar alone by the price regula'
tons Of the food administration.
Until Mr.. Hoover returns from Eu
rope the food administration will out
line no definite campaign Of saving
on any specified commodity. A great
deal will depend upon the supplies
which are found available In the va
rious countries Of Europe, and in the
arrangements made with the Allied
Food Council.
The American people are urged t.
eliminate waste rigidly. This adyfcs
applies to all foodstuffs, ineludans
sugar, from which the necessary ant
artificial restrictions have now beer
removed.

There are many little things TO

of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability. We are frequently so

THE WORK. OF VOLUNTEERS FARM
LAB0REM2 u KEN4UCKY.

A leading part in saving the larg-
est wheatscrop in the history OF Ken
lucky was taken by volunteer work
ers from the towns and cities locat-
ed in the important wheat growing
districts of the State. The volun-
teers were organized through the eff
forts of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Kentucky and
included telephone linemen, street
car operators, statesmen, BARRIERS,
draymen, doctors, ministers, law
yers, county and town officials and
others. <
Reports coming into the College
Farm Labor Office indicate the sue
cess of the movement in every Sec
ton where 1T was used. In Fayette
county the volunteers furnished help
in the wheat harvest and threshing
to the extent of 405 days work. At
lOwensboroT nearly 200 went out and
helped in the harvest fields. A few
devoted their entire vacations to the
work; others went out for one or two
days at a time. Most of them had had
previous farm experience and were
able to fall in behind the wheat
binder and shock almost as well as
the best of the farmers regular
hands. Those who were inexperi-
enced were placed with the expert
enced men and were thereby enabl-
ed to do acceptable work.
Farmers were at first inclined to
laugh at the idea of using city men
for farm work, but as reports Of sat
isfactory service came in from farm
ers the attitude of skepticism disap-
peared and by the end of the wheat
threshing not less than thirty farm
ers in Fayette county alone had call
ed upon the Reserve for help. More
over, they were glad to pay full
farm wages to the volunteers.
In less than half dozen cases
did the unusual exertion and heat
prove too much for the volunteer
workers and the trouble in these few
cases was only temporary. In the
future, volunteers will be encourag
ed to harden their muscles by work
in their gardens and by other out
door exercise, so that they will be
equal to the most strenuous farm
work. Plans are being perfected by
the College of Agriculture to in
crease the membership of the Emer-
gency Reserve so that 1t will include
all able-bodied men in the villages,
towns and cities of the State. Men
who have had farm experience will
constitute Glass I of the Reserve.
All others capable of doing farm
work but lacking in experience will
be enrolled in Class 2.

~ Members OF the Faculty of the
University of Kentucky took a prom
inent part in saving the wheat crop
in the territory surrounding Licking
ton. The Faculty men worked
shoulder to shoulder with farmers
and their regular help, and with
shopmen and business men who
worked as volunteer farm labors. A
number of the. college faculty gave
up their Fourth Of July holiday and
spent the day in helping farmers
thresh their wheat. The Registrar
of the University sacked fifteen hun
dred bushels of wheat, working from
seven o'clock in the morning until
dark. Teachers in the summer schools
in several cases gave UP their Satur-
day holiday or half-holidays, for
work on the farm.
When a solution Of the Farm
Labor shortage was undertaken by
the College of Agriculture early in
the present year, careful study of
the situation was made and the con-
clusion was reached that the solu-
ton of the farm labor problem rest
ed primarily with the farmers them
selves. 1t was pointed out that
farmers must take up slack, must or
ganize their work more carefully, and
must work harder and more effec-
lively themselves if the call of the
Government for increased food pro-
duction was to be met successfully
The College could make this call
upon the farmers without apology
for the reason that the college staff
were already doing what they were
asking the farmers to do. Long
hours and hard work had become a
rule throughout the college depart
ments, every one of which was load
ed to the guards with emergency war
work. With this spirit evident in
the men leading the farm labor move
ment, they were able with good
grace to urge farmers to speed up
and to increase their efficiency to the
limit 1t was not case of "let
George do it," and farmers were
quick to respond to the appeal for
greater exertion.

BAN ON SALE OF COAL FOR ST0R.
AGE PURPOSES

In letter received Tuesday by
County Fuel Administrator James n
Thompson, from State Fuel Admin
istrator Wiley Bryan, at Louisville
he was advised that a great curtail-
ment Of the distribution of coal
throughout this part of the country
is necessary on account of heavy
of coal to the Great Lakes
and Gulf ports for bunker purposes
This order will last until Novem-
Der 1. After that date a plentiful
supply of coal will be available
again, but until then all the County
Fuel Administrators are advised to
give out orders for coal for immedi-
ate use only. and not for storage
purposes.

Encouraging the feeling that the
war will soon be ended, now that
the Yanks are in the field in force
and taking the offensive, is one OF
the most insidious and effective
forms of present day Hun propa-
ganda. And almost every day you
hear it, in most cases unconsciously
being set forth.
For. the average person who ad-
vances this idea, and possibly really
believes it, is unconsciously playing
| the Hun game.
He is just as unconsciously Hun
victim; one who is later to be
rudely awakened, disappointed and
possibly disheartened.
Which is exactly what the Hun
propagandists desire. -
The end Of the war isn't in sight
by any means.
Only in one short sector along the
Swiss border is the fight on German
soil.
Germany still holds nearly all Of
Belgium, a great broad section Of
Northern France, thousands of miles
| of Russia, and her control Of the Bal
kans is absolute.
Before the end can come all this
must be wrested from her.
The finish must be fought on Ger
man soil.
Uncle Sam isn't deluded. Neither
is England nor France. Nowhere Is
preparation for greater effort than
ever before diminished.
Uncle Sam is planning right now
to raise s1S,0O0.000.000 for the
next years war expenses. Planning
to increase the army to 100000
men.
/ Getting ready to carry the fight
home to the Hun.
So don't be deceived by the Hun
inspired talk of an early finish.
Don't be discouraged by this Hun
inspired talk of an early finish.
Don't be discouraged If the Hun
doesn't throw up the sponge before
he reaches the Rhine. Whenever
you hear of this sort, explain what
it means.
And meantime strengthen your
savings account for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan.
