ana crop and the government bind
itself to pay higher for a supply
than it had already contracted
for. Nevertheless, the Food Ad-
ministration and other govern
ment agencies are convinced that
they have done a great deal for
the Louisiana crop and that the
farmers will fare better than
have those in other states who
produced potatoes. The Fall crop
is about out of the way, the new
Northern crop will not come in
for some time, and Louisiana will
have clear field and market for
some six weeks or so. with prices
already steadying. The New Or
leans plan, in which the retail
grocers distributed direct to the
consumers, letting all the money
go to the farmers, had the effect
of stabilizing the potato price and
has frightened the outlook in ev-
cry way. Elk 1.i- y
The Food Administration and
other authorities at Washington
were impressed with the outlook
for a long war and the constantly
increasing necessity for food con-
servation. For that reason, there
was no difference Of opinion re-
garding the great necessity for
food regulations and their COM
plete observance. It was thought
that ample time and energy had
been given to education, so that
hereafter the food laws will he
strictly enforced and fewer ex-
ceptions will be made. E. T.

who has been made the volunteer
head Of the Louisiana Enforce

to Washington and interviewed

needs. but the great problem is /,
transport this sugar so that it viii
be available for distribution anc
use. There is an immense guam
tity Of sugar stored in Cuba but
the ships to bring it over must be
used in the direct route to the
battle zone. So all that remains
for the United States to do is to
conserve sugar in every way pos.
sible and to distribute the supply
to the best possible advantage
This is being done under the new
certificate system in which the
sugar is divided among the va
rious industries in accordance to
their food essentially. Presery-
ing is being encouraged, and ice
cream and sweets regarded as
food are being given a larger al
lowance than soft drinks, candy
and similar products which the
people and even the soldiers can
do without until there is more ST.
gar to spare. At the same time.

will have a hard time getting
sugar for any purpose in the flu
ture and may even run the risk
of having their license revoked.
The Food Administration is do
ing all it can to find a market for
the record potato crop, SO that the
farmers will not be discouraged
from continued production and so
that the people will get the full
benefit of the food raised. Gen.
eral Goethals declared it imprac-
teal and impossible to grant the
Louisiana request to the govern
ment to buy all its potatoes at
$3.50 per hundred pounds for
cantonment and army use. The

the boys and girls greatly by the
narration Of some Of the things

The recital which most moved

was that by DR.. R. L. Wilbur,

friend of Mr.. Hoover's and now
one Of his leading aides. DR..
Wilbur arrived only very rec

All the world loves a Lover" but
there are lovers and marriages that
interest us particularly. And in

of romance in a wedding. All this

which he secured for the purpose of
claiming his bride, he vii return to
the flying camp in Texas and get
fully ready to go after the Bocha.
1t would be hard to overstate the
amount of good will that extends to
Myrna. Here she has had most of
her life, all of her school days and
many fine friendships. She will do.
her bit while her husband fights, by
teaching near Lewiston. 1t is an

the Lowriie home three miles north

about eight months old which would

sound like a fish story to find a

saw the vicious little beast after he
had been securely fastened to a
tree. The young lads discovered the
bear in the sage brush about two
hundred yards from Mr.. Lowrie s
place and strange to say they dia-
cided to capture him alive. They took
a quantity of rope and the dog, and
preceded in cowboy fashion with a
slip-not to rope Mr.. Bruin, while the
dog played his part by attacking the
bear from the rear. After many UNI
successful attempts one of the boys
succeeded in getting the rope around
his neck which started the scrap

seep out of his way until finely an
other lad got a rope around one hind

] Dear Mother:
I VIII drop you few lines today and
let you know all is well with me. Have
you heard from Homer lately?

I a few days ago and he said Homer
was all right, so you need not worry
about him, his letters have been lost
in the mail I am sure.
News is scarce 1t present over here.
How did you spend the Fourth ?
Same as always l suppose. We all
took hike on that day. Have been
en- several hikes lately. We are set
tied now in different part of France
from where we have been. As long
as 1 have been over tere, and been in
the trenches several times, l have
never got a shot at a German, but just
wait, some day we may have all the
chances We want and then some, but
we should worry.
I'll bet you can't guess where l am
writing this letter, so l will have to
tell you. l am in an old dug-out, not
as bzd as most of them, lying on a
handful of straw, my raincoat and one
blanket which comprises my bed. l
sleep just as if it were a big feather
bed, and don't mind it at all. 1t is
sure some bed.
Well what is the news at home? Ny
but it hzs been a long time since /
