FORWARD WHEELS OVER BRINK.
Boston Man Narrowly Escapes Serious
Accident.

Cyrus Long of Boston, who is Wis
iting in Mortified, narrowly escaped
serious automobile accident last Fri
day afternoon when turning the corner
from Main street to Mortified street
near the iron bridge, and only his slow
driving enabled him to keep his ear
from going over 1o-foot wall after the
front wheels had gone over, the mid
die of the bottom of the car resting on.
the brink Mr.. Long was bothered by
car coming rather fast down High
School hill, and being afraid that it.,
too would turn to go toward Northfield
street and crash into him from the rear
he glanced back momentarily, but suf
ficiently long to allow his car to go
straight ahead instead of rounding the
curve where the streets are at right
angle.
The forward end of the auto pushed
through the iron fence and all but went
over the wall before the brakes stopped
it. Mr. Long and his cousin, who was
with him, were not injured and his car,
which is new Holmes coupe, was only
slightly damaged, being able to proceed
under its own power. 1t was necessary
to build up a crib work of railroad ties
under the forward end of the automo-
bile and gradually raise it to the level
of the rear before it was gotten back
on the highway.
A large crowd witnessed the rescue
work and the coolest man on the job
was Mr.. Long, who assumed blame for
| the accident and settled the damage.

Boston.

The name was derived from Boston,
q port on the river Whitman, which
flows into the Wash in Lincolnshire,
England. 1t is usually held to mean
Botolph's ton, or town. In the four
teenth century such forms as Botole-
stone and Bot0lf's tune occur Lam
barde, writing about 1877, states that
the place was then called Botonstow,
but adds that it was commonly ana
corruptly called Boston"

we must use sugar with great econo'

summer and our available sugar must
be conserved for this purpose.
"But the situation with regard tC
wheat is the most serious in the
food supply of the allied world if we
are to satisfy the minimum wheat
requirements of our army and the
allies and the suffering millions in
the allied countries. Our consump-
ton of wheat in the United States
until the next harvest must be re-
duced to approximately one-third OF
normal 1t is inconceivable that we
should fail in this crisis for each OF
us can personally contribute to the
relief of human suffering. 1t is a
privilege, not sacrifice. All ele-
ments of our population cannot bear
this burden equally. Those engaged
in physical labor need a larger bread
ration than those in sedantary oc-
cupations. Because of the constant
daily employment of women and the
lack of home baking facilities many
households in large urban centers re-
quire a food ration already prepared,
such as the bakers standard victory
bread loaf. Furthermore we must
constantly safeguard the special re-
quirements of children and invalids.
ITO meet the situation abroad and
to prevent serious suffering at home
it is imperative that all those whose
circumstances permit shall abstain
from wheat and wheat products un-
til the next harvest. 1t is realized
and deeply appreciated that many
organizations and some communities
have already agreed to follow this
plan.
''It is hoped that you will COM
municate this to your organization

whose circumstances will permit, to

Mr.. Hoover's Message.

'The confidence of the United
States Food Administration that the
people of the country would respond
enthusiastically and wholeheartedly
upon presentation of the facts to any
necessary request for reduction in
consumption of food has been justi-
fed and we have demonstrated our
ability not only to think together
but TO act together. This response
of the people is the reason for the
present appeal.
Our work is not yet complete in
spite of the encouraging results of
our efforts; in spite of the fact that
our exports of food stuff are con-
stantly increasing and are approach
ing the minimum requirement
abroad, the need for renewed devo-
tion and effort is pressing. While
all of the requirements of the Food
Administration should be constant
ly observed there are certain mat
ters which / desire to stress at this
time. ...............
I'm the case of meat and meat
products the necessity for shipment
abroad is. very great, whereas the
allied consumption has been reduced
to an average of about one and one
quarter pounds per person per week,
we are to-day enjoying an average
of about three and one-quarter
pounds per person per week. This
division is inequitable. An under
standing of these facts will justify
our request that the consumption of
all meats, including poultry, as near
ly as possible be reduced to two
pounds per week per person over
four years of age.
In the case of sugar we are en-
barassed by the necessity of using
ships for carrying our soldiers and
feeding the allies and in consequence
