FILL The SHIPS WITH WHEAT
Food Administrators Appointed in each
Warning Country.-Food Control
or No Food to Control.

The Wisconsin Food Administration
asks all households to refrain from eat
ing more than pounds of wheat -four
per month per person. Thousands OF
Wisconsin homes have already volun-
teered to do without wheat until our
own supply is replenlshed with the
coming harvest.
Those who resent the food regula-
tons should realize that it is a ques-
ton of food control or no food to con
troll. The worlds food supply is meas
urable in definite units. At present
there is a definite shortage. War has
played havoc both with production and
distribution. With the great spring
drive to repulse, the armies must have
nourishing food. Wheat is most needed.
To meet this war emergency and to
make the limited food supply reach as
far as possible, Food Controllers or Ad-
ministrators have been appointed in all
warning countries.
Over here the United States Food
Administration has labored to do it's
part by reducing waste, preventing
boarding, combating profiteering and
eliminating illegitimate trading. In the
case of the wholesaler this has been
accomplished thru the license; with
the retailer by refusal on the part
Of the wholesaler to sell him goods.
But with the individual consumer,
conservation and food sharing has
been entirely a volunteer matter. The
spirit of voluntary cooperation has in
creased with an increasing conscious.
ness of the seriousness of the situation
Stringent measures have been taken
abroad to prevent waste. A woman
in England was fined 500 and jailed
for 80 days because she threw away
one.half of rice pudding, and a baker
was sentenced to Jail for six months
for throwing away two pies. 1t is re
ported that the European housewives
even pour water into the vessel In
which food has been cooked. strain it,
and thus save the food which original

Let's FIJI the ships and send them
more food, and more and more!

How to Read.
MARKHAM & MARKHAM,
Attorneys for Plaintiff,
pub. June 21-6t.

At best the printed words of an au-
thor represent but a poor fraction of
what is in his thought and feeling, or
what he would express If he could.
Therefore, it is we'll to follow Ruskin's
advice on "reading for the thought"
and "get into the habit of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself
of their meaning syllable by syllable
nay, letter by letter." Not only does
this help you to understand the au-
thor's meaning by comprehending his
words, but the act Of concentration
fertilizes and awakens your own mind
and tends to bring you into such sym
pathy with the idea expressed and
with the author, that you are illumined
by far more of the subject than the
printed words alone contaln.-Willlam

Beautiful Chinese Gardens.

From time immemorial China has
been called the fowery kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
Of the spirit in the world desert of
barbarism, observes the New York
World.
Tn this oasis grew the arts of the
bronze and stone worker, of the silk
maker and embroiderer of the potter,
Of the painter on silk, of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devotee.
But China was not named the flow
cry kingdom because Of these flowers
Of the mind. Her flora is one of the
most luxurlant IN the world. It Is es-
tlmated TO consist of some 10000 spe-
Giles, 1900 OF which are known and one
half of which are indigenous and not
found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, 1t Is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became q skilled
and honored profession.

Abyssinia of Today.

The dominant race In Abysslnia Is
Semitic. The Hamitlc Is the aboriginal
race. The court or official language is
Amharlc, but Ethiopic is that of the
church and literature. The national
religion Is Monophysite Christianity,
but Judaism Is found among certain
tribes and Islam is the faith of con-
Siderable element of the population.
The head of the Abysslnlan church Is
the Abuna, "our father" who Is Cop
tic monk, nominated by the Patriarch
of Alexandria. The government is a
despotlc monarchy based on system
partly federal and partly feudal. The
civilization Of Abyssinla has long been
retarded by isolation and anarchy, but
there IS now national awakening to
the civilized world.

The Pan-Germanists may continue
to state impossible peace terms as the
irreducible minimum of Germany q
demands, Junker officials may boast
Of the demonstrated superiority OF
the German military machine ani
General Won Stein may brag that "the
so-caIled Foch reserve army no longer
exists" and that the American
troops are too few and too late but
the more intelligent element Of the
German people have ceased to be de-
luded by such outpourings of words
in lieu of accomplishments. Hence, an
influential German newspaper which
is as Independent as it dares be com
ments in pessimistic strain on Ger
man prospects in spite Of the bras
and buster of the Kaiser lackeys. the
Koelnische Volks Zeitung sees leu
tonic military successes as VAN
thing in view Of the future of the
German empire as a result of the
worlds hatred engendered by the
war. THE sum total of the losses we
have suffered in America" it declares
balance lin a measure" the German
European victories" 1t sadly sees
that after the war Germans Will no
longer be able to enter America 4.
1t will be the end Of German trans
atlantic commerce"
Unquestionably this German news
paper Is correct in its view that Ger
man influence and dominance in this
country have been crushed for all
time by the war. The German Ian
guage press, as It notes, has ceased
to be factor here, "the greater part
of the German schools are closed
and the German associations are
having TO strip themselves of all yes
tiges Of Germanism." Indeed so far
as the old dream Of the future Ger,
manization of America is concerned,
1T is a complete debacle." There are
now and will be again, no German
Americans recognized here though a
large part of our population has and
will have German blood in its veins
But the German" part Of their ma
tional Characterization is dropped for
all time. They are plain Americans
now and for all the future; otherwise
they are enemy aliens And this, To-
the credit of our citizenship of Ger
man birth and ancestry, Is largely
voluntary on their part Whatever
pride they once may have felt in the
Fathcrland has been succeeded by
shame. The Fatherland they knew
and loved for its old memories exists
no longer and they have nothing but
contempt for the war-lust and brutal
ity that have absorbed IT,

whose chief he soon became, leading
them in their splendid opposition to

in American independence.
Fox was kept out of office by the en-

fight valiantly for many good meas

form, Il better libel law and the abOl-

his life rising from a sick bed to speak
for the latter.
Gambling, which his father taught
him as child, was Fox's besetting

In 1893 his friends paid his debts and
settled an annuity upon him, he never

Fox was one of the greatest orators
who ever spoke in the British paria-

"above all moderns that union Of rea-
son, simplicity and vehemence which
