BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much mfsundsr.
standing about the bread program In
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it IL poorer
bread, and the British government ,s
paying $500, 100000 year toward the
cost of it. =
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbltk-ry price and the imported
CHheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This 10
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound leaf
ut 8 cents and the one pound loaf Mt B
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger sx-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
Is cents.

need BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to Conserve their flocks and
herds In order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown disposition to.
cooperate with the government In in
creasing the nations supply OF live
stock.
Germany today Is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
err European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated viz
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head--were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain flelds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
s17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and Decembsr, $160s; Jam
larry, S14.40. The effect Of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle AZ
well as the quality have shown IA
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,e0T 900 head OF
cattle in 1913, she now has only 49,
341, 300, a decrease OF 1876 per cent.
And France is today producing emily
one gallon Of milk coEpared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because Of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Foed Adj
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro-
duction Of cereals for export whea
the war will have ceased.

Notable Production of Pierce

Amy du Pont.

The Hughes Co. has in its garage
at Fourth and Walnut streets notable
example of the trend of modern uses of
self-propelled vehicles, in the shape of a
Pierce-Arrow truck with special body for
shipping horses for show purposes.
The top is II feet from the ground, the
length % feet, aud access is had by sliding
doors on the sides. Two horses can be
accommodated rs comfortably rs In box
stalls, and this capacity might be doubled
for short journeys. The sides arc solid,
except for ventiators, and the exterior IS
finished in rich maroon.
The ivan" is special order from Miss
Amy du Pont and is understood TO be
valued at 81 500. 1t is TO be used IN trans
porting prize-winning stock at horse
shows, and is rendered necessary by the
uncertainty of railroad Transportation.
The further advantage is afforded of being
able to load at the stable and unload
directly at destination.

THE 5O-HOUR WEEK.
One of the Conservation Thoughts OF the
Automobile Association.

While the report of the committee
appointed at the Monday night meeting
of the Dealers Association must be await
ed before forecasting the action to be
taken in the matter of early closing on
weekdays and remaining closed on sun
DAYS. with the possible exception of filling
stations. there seemed a general senti-
ment at the meeting IN favor OF shorter
hours. especially at this time when help
is so scarce. That customers will adjust
their purchases to those of the dealers
was the general impression. 1t remains to
be seen whether the committee finds any
insuperablc obstacles in investigating the
local situation. At all events, it was
clearly made manifest no effort will be
made to compel compliance on the part
of those who would feel that special CIR
cumstanccs govern their individual enter
prises.
The problem OF central clearing sta
ton for emergencies also remains to be
worked out

NAL Of this truth and the consequent
attempt to put men in Chrlst's place.
Humanitarianlsm Is nothing more than
the exaltation of man, leading to his
dedication and the enforcement Of
the human above the divine. Mankind
can come into the purposed blessing
from God only as Christ is given his
proper place-that of being the pre-
eminent object of Gods counsels. And
what Is true of the human race Is true
of the individual. That life is blessed
in the measure In which Christ Is pre-
eminent therein.
As the Object Of the Scriptures.
The object of the Scriptures Is not to
give the world history, although the
only absolutely true history in the
world Is found there. Neither is the
Scripture scientific book, although
wherever the Scripture touches science
1t touches 1t with true hand and is
never unscientlfic. Neither do the
Scriptures set forth system of philos-
Ophy as the object for which they were
written, although the deepest philos-
ofAS 40 Aouiu iHC
object of the Book is Christ. Without
him they would never have been writ
ten and we read our Bibles to little
purpose II we fail to find him upon its
pages. He rebukes those of older time
by saying In JnO. s 30: "Ye search the
Scriptures, for in them We think We
have eternal life and they are they
which testify of me-" Eternal life is
In him and he is in the Scriptures.
They would not receive him of whom
the Scriptures spake and SO missed
the eternal life for which they sought.
Through the books of history, prophecy
and psalms the one radiant object In
type and symbol, ceremony and pre-
dlction Is this pre-eminent one-Christ
Jesus the Lord. He is the only key
which will unlock the mysteries and
the only light making plain the dark
places.
AZ the object Of Our Faith.
Our eternal destiny does not rest
on what we do with certain things but

but the object of the faith that counts.
/ may have splendid faith In poor
bank and lose my money. I may have
much faith in rotten boat and lose
my life. And may have frst-class
faith in some other object than Christ,
such as good life or charitable deeds,
and lose my soul. If 1t is salvation I
need l am to believe In him and be
saved (Acts 16:3I. If 1t Is justiflca-
ton want am to believe In him and
be justified from all things (Acts
1880. Freedom from condemnation,
eternal life, sanctifcation, all that has
to do with my spiritual well-being
hangs on my faith in him. No wonder,
then, that we read, this is the work of
God that We believe on him whom he
hath sent" (Jno. 6:29). He is to be
the pre-emlnent object of my faith.
VIII my reader stop and ask from the
heart, Gam really trusting In Christ
alone or is some other object pre-emi-
nent before my falthT He must do
all for us or he can do nothing for US.
IF We be circumcised Christ will profit
you nothing" (Gal. 5:2). Adding any
thing to him and his work makes him
to be of no value to us. He Is to be
the alone Savior Justifer, Sanctifier.
God will give all things through him,
nothing apart from him.
The error of humanitarianism will
come In when any other object than
this pre-emlnent one Is before US. We
will be kept from the leaven Of the
Pharisees when we seek for him alone
In the Scriptures, and the eternal In
terests of our souls will be safeguarded
and made sure when he Is the supreme
object of our faith.
Thou o Christ art all I want;
More than all In thee find.

Life Of Fruit Trees,

OF our fruit trees, the pear is the
longest lived. They will bear for so
years and few hardy veterans quar-
ter of a century longer. Apple trees
range in age from twenty-five to forty
years, while twenty-five years is about
the limit for plum trees. Raspberry and
blackberry bushes live from six to four
teen years, currant bushes twenty
years and gooseberry bushes ten years.
