KEEP THE sHIps HERE

Quite the proper thing was the ae- 4son of this government in declining to approve the proposed sale of the a'essels owned by the International Mercantile Marine Corporation to British syndicate. even though those vessels are at the present time under British registry They are so regis tered because it gives an advantage to the owners which cannot be secured under American registry. but there
 Las been no time when this country
 was in greater need of ships or had mora cause for holding what is owned
 in this country than right now.
 -s Every effort has been put forth to
 get ships. We have bought them,
 built borrowed and seized them in or
 der 10 meet our requirements, and
 while the need of transporting war
 material to Europe has ceased we are nevertheless in need of more than are
 possessed to take care of the problem
 cf getting our soldiers home and to
 take care of our foreign trade. It
 would therefore be a serious handicap
 ts permit these vessels to go to for eign owners now, for while we are
 not TclA2lHS any lh our eCHSLfQGtloH
 activities we are far from being able
 to take care of our shipping needs ',-u, present to. say nothing about the
 future
 From all indications the proposed . deal appears to be entirely above beard. Negotiations were openly car , ried on and it was a requirement. that . the transfer should have the approval . of both the United States and Great . Britain. The shipping board, how ever. shows that it is right on it's joh . in this connection and when it de- clares that this government will take z The s5 vessels of an aggregate tonnage of T30.aeo at the price which the own CTS were ready to sell to the British syndicate for. there certainly can be s no objection. The British puYcha sen E may be disappointed but it is only /. what they must have realized wal z likely to occur. The ships should cer. j tainty be kept here.

MUST STILL CONSERVE.

Just what the basis may have been fer any impression that the reguia- tiens of the food administration may have been reseinded. it should be un- derstood that the need of restrictions has not been overcome. and is not likely to be for some time in view of the demands which are to be expected upon our resources.
 There has been some relief given by the food administration inasmuch as it is possible now to obtain flour without purchasing & certain amount of substitute, and householders are able to get somewhat larger quanti- ties of sugar. but there is neverthe- less need for the practice of conser- vation, for though the war is practi- cally at an end there are ether prob lems which must be faced and met.
 In recognition of this and for the purpose of impressing it more fully upon the people. the coming week is tO be observed as conservation week for world relief, opening Sunday with q special message from Administrator Hoover which is to be read in all churches and to be continued by pro- grammes in schools, colleges and other organizations throughout the week.
 Wherever starvation conditions ex- ist where it is found that the liber- ated peoples of Europe are entitled to relief and where it is important to help the reconstruction there exists the need of using our resources to the best advantage. This will not mean suffering at home but continuance Of the policy of eliminating waste and thereby making available such food stuffs as others who have the means to buy can procure under proper re- strictions. The world relief is eer- tainly of much importance as an in strument for helping to bring abou the orderly reconstruction which is de. sired in Europe.

Taken siagly,' said the girl who likes to talk, T like human beings very much. Hut when you tie them up in punches and make a crowd of them I'd hate to lear myself talk about them!
 Its a funny thing that when an individual is one of crowd he inn msdiately acts like crowd all by himself and it can't be done! l sat in a perfectly harmless booth awhile ago where literally thousands of peo- pie surgAd by during the day and I tell you I changed just as coplHletely as the persons in the crowdi l am naturally a shy and retiring person, aperse to being stared at, but after the first plunge into publicity that nov ing wall of people was nothing in my voting life.

silent as to the real situation. There is, indeed, no occasion for a panic for Hartford will have coal enough to keep wasm-if it uses good sense but it will not have coal enough to keep warm if waste and extravaganza in the use of fuel are unchecked. Few consumers have received more
 than two thirds of their accustomed
 supply and whether they will get the
 other third is 8 problem. If they do
 not, or if they get but a part it
 means that less coal than usual must
 be burned. The wise man will gov
 ern himself according and exercise
 every possible economy in these mild
 days that there may be plenty of fuel

 A matter of inmense interest is the release of the colleges and uni versailles of the country from mili- taFy control.

THREE NELSON COUNTY
BOYS KILLED IN WAR

Michigan, N. D., Dec. 14.-Different
news items of more than passing in
'~terest have been received from differ
ent Nelson County boys in France dur
ing the Week. The people of the
county feel a parental interest in ev-
cry n of our soldiers. and news of
any of them is relished by all.
A telegram to Mrs. Melvin Guam, of
Melvin township, states that her bro
Their Lewis Morken, was killed in &C.
ton in France, Nov. 10, the day before
1.-The armistice was signed. This makes
three Nelson county boys killed in &C
ton, the other two being Maynard
Rundell and Frank Hollicky, both Of
Lakota.
Joseph Guam of Bergen township
received a letter from his brother, Ed
ward A. Guam, now in France, which
was interesting not only for the mat.
ter it contained, but because it was
partly written in the morning before
the armistice was signed and finished
in the afternoon, after the signing
when the boys joined the world in look
ing at the war from a new angle. He
is a member of the Marine band.

NEW FACES FOR OLD.

The American Red Cross has under.
taken varied tasks. These. range from
darning the socks Of the soldiers to
making new faces for those ~disigured
by war. Mrs. Iadd, the wife of DR..
Ladd, noWstddoing service in Red Cross
hospitals abroad, is working in her
Paris studi10, making, masks to cover
'disfgured faces. A photograph Of the
soldier showing how he looked before
being wounded is obtained and then a
mask Of copper or silver is made to re-
semble it and replace the part that is
gone. This is made as, lifelike as pos.
sible and held on. as a rule. with bows
behind the ears like spectacles. The
soldier cannot eat or sleep in these
masks, but he can see and breathe
through them. Sometimes a nose il

WHAT HOME SERVICE MEANS.

30 many questions are constantly
coming to the Home Service Section OF
the Red Cross that a few words an to
Its objects may not come amiss. The
Home Service Section aims to serve
the folks at home, to bring them
nearer to the man in the field, and to
bring him nearer to the ones at home,
Sometimes it mean helping to
straighten out a financial tangle, some
times help IN the training Of the chill
dren, sometimes being a big brother to
4 young lad who needs a bit Of friend
~ counsel, or advising a young wife
who may be worried about the coming
due Of the mortgage and what her
rights under the law may be.
Then, too, there are sometimes d.
lays in the mails or lost letters, and
sometimes delays In the allotment, or
errors in the. amount which should be
forthcoming. These problems and
many others ARE being Strengthened
out by the Home Service Section, with
out charge to the families, and with
an efficiency which is daily growing
more valuable. More than 100000
calls have been answered.
