Modifies Meatless Meal Rule.

Because the shortage of -four is be-
coming acute and meat is more abund-
ant, particularly because of the applica-
ton of the meatless days and meals,
Wisconsin and al other states have
been asked by the federal administration
to temporarily abandon the meatless
meals and porkless Saturday.
Food Administrator Magnus Swenson
received the following telegram from
Herbert Hoover.
1.-THE conservation program for meat
until further notice is simply no beef
or pork products on Tuesdays. The
whole basis of the change is to sub
stitute our more abundant meats for
our less abundant breadstuffs. We ex-
pect that the temporary reduction in
the meat restriction will be offset by
more rigid economy in all uses of wheat
products. "
The order has been sent by Mr.. Sven
son to all county food administrators.

Corn Now in Fields.

NON comes the report that thousands
of farmers in the corn belt have not
only been unable to ship their corn. but
many of them have grain still in the
fields and unhusked.
There are several reasons given for
allowing the corn to remain where
grown. Many of the producers have
small facilities for storing, and as some
of their bins were filled with oats. and
no facilities for the movement of this
grain, there has been no place to house
corn. 1t would have been suicidal, in
many instances, to have harvested the
corn and placed it in cribs, because of
its damp condition and the fact that it
would deteriorate rapidly.
1t is said there are still millions of
bushels of corn, which growers are
anxious to market.

Some Old Children,s Books.

John Newbury set the fashion OF
publishing juvenile story books about

write them. and In the list OF such pub
lications II is somewhat startling to
come across TON Jones" and Joseph
Andrews''-" abridged for the amuse-
meut Of youth" II is true, but not at
all in the direction one would expect,
SAYS the Boston Globe. There was,
however. quite literally, powder in the
lam, even with Newbury's publications.
The worthy publisher was the proprie-
tor Of the famous DR.. James Powder,
and contrived to Introduce Ingenious
references TO this profitable sideline In
TO his book. Thus in "GOody-Two-
Shoes" the heroine's father dies miser-
ably because "seized with fever In a
place where DIR. James Powder was
not to be had"

REALLY MORE THAN NEEDED
Younnster Asked God to Send Nice
Cool Rain and DeIuge Flooded
Fields Of the Southwest.

We were living in the Southwest,
For weeks and months we had no
rain, relates a writer in the Country
Gentleman. Every day big, promising
looking clouds rolled up, broke apart
and drifted away. Streams were dried
up, vegetation was burning up and life
was well-nigh unbearable to man and
beast. From IL to IS inches of sand
and dust covered the highways; gnats
made life hideous; heat parched our
skin and throats. Rain was the only
relief, and rain we did not get. Every
night at bedtime four-yearold Robert
on Bonded knees by his little white bed
asked God: please don't forget to
send a nice, cool rain"
One day the big. black clouds rolled
up rs usual, but we noticed that they
were all fringed with green. Pretty
soon big wind Sprang up and leveled
small houses and barns, broke down
trees, scattered chickens, ducks, straw
and haystacks all over the country. A
big hail followed the wind, and then
came rama perfect deluge Streams
rose clear out of their banks and the
water came creeping over the fields
and toward the houses and cattle
pens; pretty soon II had flooded the
yard and was nearly TO the door.
Small Robert took a survey OF the
situation, and then in n small fright
ened voice said: DADDY, don't blame
Il all on me. God had ought to knowed
a small kid like me didn't need such a
awful big rain"

Use Of Cement.

Cement was first put on the market
In England. II was still being import
ed into this country in 1875. It was at
this time that the use of Portland o.
ment In the United states came into
commercial prominence. When the
product was first placed on the mar
ket in competition with that which was
being imported from England and Ger
many. a good price was demanded.
However, production in excess Of de
nand soon resulted and 1t proved big
factor in the price cutting that fol
