PEOPLE ARE ASKED
TO CONSERVE MEAT

Washington. ID. c., June Ito
meet the needs of the American and
allied armies and the civilian popula-
tions of France, Great Britain and
Italy, the American people were ask
ed by the Food Administration today
to place themselves on a limited beef
allowance from now until September
I15.
Housholders were requested 'un-
der no circumstance" to buy more
than one and one quarter pounds of
clear beef weekly, or one and one
half pounds including the bone, for
each person in the household.
Hotels and restaurants were ask
ed not to serve the boiled beef for
more than two meals weekly, beef
steak more than one meal weekly,
and roast meat more than one meal
weekly.
The demand of beef for our army,
the armies of the allies and their
populations for this summer said
the food administration announce
ment, ARE beyond our present sup
plies. On the other hand we have
enough increased supply of pork this
summer to permit of the economical

and the allies If our people will in
some degree substitute fresh pork.
bacon, ham and sausage for beef
productions.
The public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping and, therefore.
of the markets available to the allies
and the increasing demand for our
growing army. with the fluctuating
supply of local beef in France, all
make il impossible to determine pol
icies for a long period in advance.
We have recently asked for economy
In all meat consumption; we wish
now to emphasize further reduction
of beef by the substitution of pork
II is anticipated that this program
will bod good unit Sept. 15thAand

FARMER HAS NOT HUSKED
LAST YEARS CORN CROP

Chairman NJ. p. Conway of the
Cass coutny council OF defense, ac-
companied by state agent w. r. Nc
Kee. was down in Edna township
Monday to investigate the circum-
stance of twenty acres of good corn
standing unhusked in the field of a
young farmer in the township. The
corn was there all right enough, just
as had been reported to Mr.. Conway
but the farmer was absent from home
His reasons for failure TO conserve
his crop and put the land to some
good use could not be learned.
The farmer is farming a quarter
section of land belonging to his
mother. The field of corn referred
to consisted originally of forty acres
but about half of it had been husked
and the land planted to another
crop. The remainder still stands in
the field. The corn is of good quail
ity.
Il shall at once take steps to. find
out the reason for this mans allow
ing twenty acres of perfectly good
corn go to waste and the land stand
idle" said Chairman Conway. This
sort of wastefulness will not be toll
Grated in times like these, if the de-
Tense council can prvent it,
The circumstances of the corn not
being harvestXed and the land put to
crop was reported to the defense
council chairman Saturday. He will
communicate with the farmer today
regarding the matter

Problem Economic One.
SO FAR as our domestic affairs are
concerned the problem OF our return
to peace is problem of economic
and Industrial readjustment. That
problem Is less serious for us than
1t may turn out to be for the ma
tions which have suffered the disar-
rangements and the losses of war
longer than we. Our people, more
over. do not wait to be coached and
led. They know their own business,
are quick and resourceful ut every

self-rellant In action.
Any leading strings we might seek
to put them In would speedily be-
come hopelessly tangled because they
would pay no attention to them and

do as their Legislative and executive
servants is to mediate the process
Of change here. there and elsewhere
as we may. I have heard much
as to the plnns that should
be formed and personally conducted
to happy consummation. but from
no quarter have I seen any general
scheme Of 'reconstruction'' emerge
which thought 1t likely we could
force our spirited business men and
laborers to accept with due
pliancy and obedience.

Editorial From the New York
WORLDLY
Whatever else may be said of 1t,
Senator Lodges speech in favor of an
old-time peace was Tory through and
through. No crusted conservative in
England, no soured imperialist in
France, no Brahmin leading azruling
caste in any part of world, could
improve upon it.
Somehow, in the war now closing.
morals and ideals have inspired tri-
umphant force as never before, but
the senator from Massachusetts,
sweeps them aside. All that he wants
at the settlement is a practical peace.
supported by hard-and-fast political
and commercial considerations, as was
the custom aforetime when statesmen
making treaties left their morals and
ideals at home
Toryism here and elsewhere is per-
haps naturally alarmed at the pros
pect of an adjustment based upon con-
conscience, but it may be assured
that the danger of overriding it is not
great Today, as for many years past
men and nations know better than
they do, and however high the stand
ards established at Versailles, the
tendency to fall away from them wih
be pronounced enough without any
preliminary indictments.
Possibly all that can be hoped for
in the way of future betterments as
a result of the coming congress is that
the victoriaus powers will be wise
enough and unselfish enough to en-
body in living words the aspirations of
a world too long oppressed and devas'
tated by war. If, aside from as
sessing the ordinary penalties of de-
feat and such rearrangement of the
map as is dictated by racial and ma
tionalistic conditions, the congress
shall honestly present and uphold the
moral view which has guided self
governing peoples in this war, it will
at least have made a prodigious i'm
provement upon the performances of
tle congress of Vienna in 1915, the
congress of Paris in 1856 and the
congress of Berlin in 1873.
Reactionary Toryism controlled all
of these bodies, and by means of Sc
cret agreements and treaties liberal
sentiment and human rights were
suppressed as completely as Senator
Lodge would suppress them now. III
peace of sort was all that was
wanted it might have been had two
years ago by the huckstering methods
which still find so much favor in ul~
tral-conservative circles. The peace
that has been fought for and won
ought not to be and will not be lost
unless the Lodges of all nations, who
are comparatively few in number,
prevail over the forward-looking mill
lions who gained the day.
Progress and justice as well as
peace are at stake at Versailles, |
Greed and prejudice and fear of the
right may confuse and even defeat
the councils there under way. but If
any hide-bound American dwelling
among the tombs of privilege and
contributes to that end IL
will be to his undying shame and to
his country's everlasting humiliation.

not work in Russia or else
where.
The best argument for allied
Intervention in, Russia comes
from the fact the red govern
ment'of Russia was in stealthy
league with the Hun autocra-
cy and the kaiser may not be
considered as thoroughly
downed until all his rascal al
lies have been brought to
time.
The league of nations, when
formed, could well take up the
task of cleaning Russia on the
ground that it is not only under
enemy control but is the one
great country of the world still
under despotic rule. Class
government by anarchists in
Russia is not more tolerable
than was the imperial German
government before it fell. De-
spotism, wherever it exists,
whether it be by rich or poor,
is the foe of freedom.
The magnitude of the job in
Russia is not going to be as
great as many imagine. The
red army is a rabble, lacking
organization, discipline and
generalship. Were that force
opposed by an allied force,
well equipped and directed,
the Russian word for kamerad
would soon be heard from
every direction.
