VARIETY ON HIS TABLE.
Hs Had -Four Kinds of Meat and -Four
Kinds Of Bread


Old man Wowton, the meanest
citizen In all the blue grass country,
drove up to the market place in
Lexington, where an army Of ne
groes stood about or lay basking in
the early morning sun waiting for
some man to hire them. Ths old
man was so stingy that he usually
had great difficulty in engaging ne
groes to do extra work on his. farm.
But this time he struck Q bargain
Immediately with big Bill Saunders
and the half dozen powerful but
lazy blacks VINO follow at bis heels
All the others were greatly sur
prised to see this gang ambling out
on the big road toward Mr.. Wow
toms place. Next morning they
were mystifed to see big Bill and
his cronies again In the market
place.
"Whadja doin' hyuh, Bill ?" asked
Hannibal Harrison Tyler.
'Iookin' TO- wuk," Bill replied
sadly.

~ Way Q Russian rrIneess Oisposes
Of Her Jewels.

A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
q well known wholesale dealer Of
the Maiden lane district, was in t.,
Office of a diamond merchant IN
London when a stranger came IL
and offered an unusually besutifL!
stone for sale. The Enghshman
did not care to buv But Nissen
thought he sew ain. But he
was not willing pIy until he
learned who OWL stone and
where it had com, n. The man
said he represented friend, q wo-
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
With her.
The neH day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in handsome
apartment in one Of the most fash
ionable quarters Of the city. 1t
turned out that she was Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
In q nihilist movement. Of all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened q
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections OF
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or 100000.
1--WE sell them few at time,'
she explained, Gust enough Of
them each year to give US living.
Perhaps you will wonder why We
don't sell them all and live on the
interest Of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit
The money would not last year
So we part from them piecemeal
! estimate that there are enough OF
them to keep US twenty years, enc
I don't expect to live longer thar
that"
One Of those diamonds forms Il
eenterpiece of one of the most We
liable necklaces in New York. I
few others are sent to this countI
every year. In the diamond horse

night when there are not some OF

To FEED GERMANY
BY RAISING SOME
ECONOMIC BARS
PROBLEM is ONE OF LIFTING
BLOCKADE, NOT GOING TO
RELIEF OF HUNS.
WE MUST PREVENT ANARCHY
Greatest Task Is to Provide Food for
Liberated Peoples Of Europe,
Hoover Says.

VIII the people Of this country be
called upon TO make sacrifices. TO deny
themselves food, that Germany may
be fedo This question has been asked
frequently OF the Missouri Division Of
the Food Administration.
Just before he sailed for Europe
Mr.. Hoover said that, according to the
plans already made, Germany will be
fed by economic measures which only
contemplate the raising Of a few m
barge and shipping barriers. our
great task is to feed the liberated peO-
plies of Europe, he said.
"Therr is a great problem in the
situation Of the enemy people, about
twenty million he said. This prob
len is NOT one Of going To- their re
lief. II is a problem Of relaxing the
water-tight blockade, which continues
through the armistice, sufficiently 80
that they may secure for themselves
the bare necessities that will give
stable government. Unless anarchy
can be put down and stability Of gov
eminent can be obtained in these en-
envy states. there will be nobody to
make peace with and nobody TO pay
the bill 10 France and Belgium for the
fearful destruction that has been done.
81 would certainly approach this
problem with mixed feelings. having
been long . witness TO the robbery Of
food from women and children, and
the destruction OF millions of IONS OF
food at sea and to the misery under
which millions amongst the big and
little Allies have suffered under the
German yoke.
IL am going TO Europ. TO discuss
the further food measures that must
be organized as a result OF the cessa
ton Of hostilities The food problem
IN Europe today is one OF extreme
compleNity. OF their 400 million, prac.
~tically only three areas-Sourh Russia.
Hungary and Denmark-comprising
about forty million, have sufficient
food supplies TO last until next har

ICA, HOOVER SAYS.
IN APPEAL TO THE CHURCHEo
Conservation Sunday Message of Food
Administrator Tells Great Need
of World Relief.

today OF the Food Administration is
larger than the former appeal to the
"war conscience" Of the people OF
America. The new appeal is to the
world conscience" which must be
the guiding inspiration of the future
program for food conservation The
American people, in this most critical
period Of uhrtr history, have the op-
p%ortunity TO demonstrate not only
their ability TO assist in establishing
peace on earth, but also their c2nse
Grafton, by sclf.denial, to the OF
suffering humanity.
This, in brief, is the message OF
Herbert Hoover to the people Of this
country which a read in the
churches on conservation sunday.
Last summer, when the military sit
uatlon was acute, the Inter.Allied food
conference vas assured that what
ever the war.rood program OF the
Allies required this country was pre-
pared to meet, Mr.. Hoover said in his
message.
The ending of the wal does not re
lease us from this pledge. The same
population must be fed, and until IN.
other season has passed they cannot
feed themselves" the message said.
The change in the foreign situation
necessarily alters the details Of our
food program, because the freeing OF
the seas from the submarine menace
renders accessible the wheat supplies
OF India. Australia and the Argentine,
The total food demand upon the
United states is not diminished, how
ever. On the contrary, it is increased,
In addition TO the supplying OF those
to whom we are already pledged, we
now have the splendid opportunity
and obligation Of meeting the needs
Of those millions OF people in the
hitherto occupied territory who are
facing actual starvation. The people
Of Belgium. Northern France, Serbia,
Roumania, Montenegro, Poland, Rus
sia and Armenia rely upon America
lbA AAhAAlNN4tN' oAhs W. must NAoN
participate in The preservation Of the
newly liberated nations in Austria,
nor can We ignore the eject on the
future world development of a famine
condition among those other people
whom we have recently released from
our enemies. All these considerations
mean that upwards Of 200 million peo-
pie, in addition 10 those We are already
pledged TO serve. are now looking
to us in their misery and famine. Our
appeal today is therefore larger than
+ the former appeal TO the war con.
scIence of our people. The new ap-
peal is 10 the world conscience which
must be the guiding inspiration Of our
future program.
The President OF the United States
