WHEAT SHOWED
SPIRIT OF U. s.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations Will Be Able. to Re-
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply of White
Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
is the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months Our wheat ex-
port program proved cOnclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping Of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The ac-
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peo-
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
wheat supply which gave us only
100000 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent al 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
100000 bushels.
A survey Of export figures shows
that the conservation of flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 33,000,O00
barrels Of white fiour-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an, addi-
tional 100000 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1OO,000,O00
bushels by July /. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed The American people
responded by sending 100000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1913, we had already
shipped 65,96O,305 bushels since July
!. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July / Of next year
we will have sent more than 237 500,
900 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good America q
pledge that the bread rations of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

HAS FIRST EXPERIENCE
WITH GAS ATTACKS

Edward Cavanaugh is in receipt Of
the following letter from William
Kortegast, who has been in France
several months, leaving Waterfowl
with Co. e. He was former employe
of the Brandt Manufacturing com.
pany.
France, June IL, 1918.
Received your letter of April 20 and
was glad to hear from you The letter
came in good time considering the
fact that we have been moving quite
a bit which makes it hard for the
postal authorities to locate u.s.. We
will have better service now as we
are in the trenches at the front, and
have a postoffice number (734).
We are Gin" for little over a week
now, and got our first taste of gas and
shrapnel the other night. They GER
tainly showed it over for about two
hours. / was on post at the gun when
it started. The first five shells landed
short and wide, and / was relieved
at IL p. m. and was just about in the
dug-out when they started hitting
then we got the gas alarm, so we put
on our masks and wore them for
about fifteen minutes. It was pretty
windy and the gas didn't stay very
long. After it was all over we looked
ourselves over to see if anything was
missing but found that we were all
together yet and ready for some
more. l suppose they thought they
had us wiped out but they have an
other guess coming. Everybody came
out with heads up.
The weather is great. 1t don't get
as warm here as it does in the states
It's just right for sleeping and be-
lieve me we get enough of that, shells
or no shells. We do most of our
sleeping in the day time and are on
guard from dusk to dawn.
The way in which the third Liberty
loan was Over-subscribed in Water
town certainly adds pep to the fellows
We appreciate it and will put our
shoulders to the wheel until the finish
and are proud to say that we came
from Watertown.. I'll bet the old town
is pretty we'll cleaned out of the men
around the draft age didn't run into
any of the fellows OF the first draft
from Watertown yet, but l suppose
they are over here by this time
| don't believe | told that l am a
gunner. am in the seventh gun crew
for about two months now.
Give regards and best wishes to all
the fellows and the girls. Shorty
kehr and Joe Stacy and the rest of
the fellows send their regards.

KENNETH PETERSON
browns AS RESULT
DIVING ACCIDENT
Sixteen Year Old Boy Meets Death In
Rock River Sunday Afternoon
Body Recovered and Taken
To His Home.

Kenneth c. Peterson, aged 16, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. G. Peterson, 223
North Washington street, was acct
dentalfy drowned in Rock river Sun
day afternoon and the body was re-
covered a couple of hours after the
accident. Peterson in company with
a few others was in swimming near
the Badger State ice chutes north of
Cady street bridge. After stating that
he was going to dive and swim down
stream a short distance he plunged
into the water and was never seen
alive again. 1t is supposed that the
unfortunate young man struck a rock
and became stunned and unconscious
as there are injuries about the face.
His companions did not give thought
to the matter at the time as they be-
lieved he had swan away, but when
they were leaving the water and he
did not appear search of the river
was begun and the body recovered
shortly after 6 o'clock and taken to
BOyle's undertaking rooms.
Kenneth Peterson was born in Wa
tertown, August 2, 1902, and he is sur
vived by his parents, two brothers and
two sisters. The funeral will take

TWO GOOD GAMES
IN THE CITY LEAGUE
PLAYED ON SUNDAY
Interurban Bullets Win From Mud
Hens 8 to Mike Days Beat
the KOlts IL to 10 in Twelve
Inning Fray.
Team Standings.

The Interurban Bullets defeated the
Mud Hens in the first game at Wash
ington park Sunday by score of 9 to
T. The second game was won by the
Mike Davys II to 9 after they had
battled with the Kronitz Kolts twelve
innings. The first game looked as
though the Bullets would be beaten.
Jumbo's team held their opponents to
a tie, Z to Z, until the eighth inning
when Bublitz after pitching a good
game, blew up and walked two men
after there was two down. Pete Doerr,
a dangerous lead-Off man, grabbed
down his second hit of the afternoon
and brought Hose in from the second
station, Schumacher coming in ahead
OF him on an error on o. Schumann
which covered up the game for the
Bullets. Bublitz pitched good game
and famed IL men, but failed to keep
his hits scattered. Schumann of the
Bullets pOled out home run in the
first inning when MOlzahn let an easy
grounder roll through his feet. In the
third inning the Bullets piled up four
runs. DOerr, Archie and Ponath grab
bling off clean hits
The second game was a see-saw
battle, and was practically cinched by
the Kronitz Kolts up to the seventh
inning. The Kolts took to the field in
the first inning after four runs had
been piled up The cause-Casey was
wild. Suffice it to say that no hits
were made off him in that inning
three bases on balls. Henke and
Casey did the mound work for the
two teams, the latter being credited
with II strikeOuts. Brooks deserves
some credit for the win. He made a
home run in the fifth inning, scoring
Casey. In the tenth after two men
were gone and one run needed by the
Davys to tie the score, Brooks landed
on the pill for a neat single, stole
second and landed on the home sta
ton with the needed runs in less time
than it takes to write this-when r.
Boettcher threw wild to third in an
attempt to catch the rabbit. Hahn.
brought in the winning run in the
twelfth when with three men on the
bags Henke threw a wild one and
Hahn landed on the next one for
fast grounder, netting two runs
The first triple play of the season
was pulled off in the second game by
the Mike Davys, Casey, Molzahn and
Hahn taking part

STREET TRAFFIC
POSTS TO Be INSTALLED

New automobile traffic posts are to
be installed by the city at Main street
intersections in week or two There
will be six posts installed at First,
Second, Third, Fourth, Water and
Washington streets. The traffic post
at the intersection of Washington and
West Main streets will take the place
of the fountain which will be removed
The traffic posts are very ornamen-
tai and together with the concrete
base which they will be mounted on,
will measure eight and one-half feet
The post is surmounted with a twelve
inch globe which will emit a red light
The cables for operating the posts
have all been laid in Main street, in
connection with the paving of the
street. Many large cities are using
this same system and the city has
made a serviceable improvement by
installing this.

BENEFITS RECEIVED
FROM WEEKS STAY
AT CAMP DOUGLAS
WatertOwn Men Speak In Terms of
High Praise Fer Good Tuey
Received While in
Trainig.

A week or two weeks stay at Camp
Douglas as a member of militry unit
is probably the best vacation a man
can receive these days is the opinion
Of the eight Watertown men belong
ing to the Watertown Separate Mill
tory company who spent last week
with one of the regiments at Camp
Douglas. City Clerk Frank S. Weber
was one of them and he says the life
there Is wonderful and surely adds to
the length of mans existence if one
could but spend a month or so under
the military discipline at the camp.
He declares, that more Watertown
young men should join the home COM
pany and be in line for a two weeks
stay in camp this summer. He says
the life puts ginger and pep into the
system and one feels like new man
even after few days training.
Owing to the draft the number of
men in the home company has been
reduced and they need about twenty
more men between the ages of Is and
As. Men in all walks of life should
join, professional and otherwise, so
as to make a good showing for the
town.
The food is good and wholesome and
likewise plentiful. The life teaches
besides discipline regularity in living
and obedience to superior officers
while the drilling strengthens the
muscles and develops the whole ply
steal system.
All OF the Watertown members
were given rigid examination with
the rifle. John Kings, using a Krag
Jorgenson rifle, established the best
mark OF the $50 men that were shoot
ing at the time. Shooting at distances
of 300, 200 and 100 yards at moving
targets he scored 10 hits out of a pos
sible 25 All of the other members
showed up good, but DOC" came
through with the best score.
