MRS. {. A, RADEkE.

Mrs. Clarence A. Radeke, who was
killed in the destructive storm Of
August 9th at their home at Carlyss,
6 miles south of Sulphur, was before
her marriage to Mr.. Radeke, Miss
Belle Vina Curtis. She was born at
Walden, Mississippi, October II, 1877,
moving to Greenwood, Miss, in 1881.
She was 40 years, 9 months and 25
days old at the time of her death.
She joined the Baptist church at
Greenwood in 1890, which faith she
had devoutly followed. She was mar
ried to Clarence A. Radeke on May
18th, 1913. To this union seven
children were born: Ben A., age |
years; Elsie Venia, age II years !;
Libbie Abel, age 10 years; Carl Cur
tbs, who died in 1910 aged 2 years !;
Douglas, age 6 years; and Orval Ken
meth, age three who was fatally in
jured when his mother was killed by
the flying fragments of their home as
they sought safety in the open. He
survived his mother but died from
the effects of the injuries Monday

INTERNATIONAL FOOD PRO-
GRAM

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. THE new Con-
servation program of the United
States Food Administration is going
to be worked out on international
lines The conclusions reached by
the Inter-Allied Food Council last
August have been checked over as the
returns of the harvest in America and
other countries have been reported,
and modified as the shipping sitsa-
ton has clarified.
The main outlines have already
been published. America is to eS-
port half as much again as last year;
America and all the Allies will eat
the same war bread, four parts OF
wheat to one of substitutes; for the
Allies the danger of famine is pass
ed, the need OF rigid economy is still
present; for America the program to
which we are committed means con-
slant, careful. thoughtful saving of
food.
Ii is to be strictly an international
program. Last year the Food Ad-
ministration could do little more than
meet one sudden emergency after
another, much as the Allies during
the German drive had to improvise
their defensive campaigns Now it
is unified program. with calcula-
tons of all the resources in the Al
lied pool, of the shipping available, of
the military effect of employing the
vessels for all or another purpose.
The new international food pro-
gram, like the unified military com
mand. strikes discomfort to the Ger
mans and spells the triumph Of the
common cause.

World Faces Live Stock
Famine

The world faces a hive
stock famine of such magni-
tude that you and | simply
cannot comprehend it.
Where are the hundreds OF
millions in war-torn Europe
and Asia to get meat to eat
where are they to get
horses and cattle to till the
soil and help harvest the
crops?
The duty Of America is
plain--we must all help plug
that gap by getting into the
live stock business more deep
~ ourselves.
That's why we are offer
ing such big cash premiums

this year-it's merely our way
Of getting every one more in
terested in livestock raising.
For humanity's sake, let's
do something!
America Must Supply Food
Food-more food-and still
more food-in all history the
world never faced such need
for food
It is vitality necessary for
America to do everything it
possibly can to increase the
international food supply.
Else millions more must
succumb to the relentless raw
ages of hunger in war-swept
Europe-and those who are
suffering the most are the wo-
men and children, the old
men, and the unfit, who have
not been able to play a mans
part in the trenches.
Your Fair is pointing the
way to greater efficiency in
food raising and saving-and
with your aid we can do an
infinite good.

IDEAS HARD TO ERADICATE
Erroneous Geographical Notions That
Have Firm Hold on the Minds
OF Most People.

1t Is curious to note with what per-
slstency people will adhere to current
ideas without ever thinking that these
ideas do not,sunder all circumstances,
denote one and the same thing. AS
matter of fact, the maximum heat is
between" North and South-viz, along
the equator, and it is as cold at the
South Pole as at the North Pole. Also
the words North and South are as rela-
tive terms as East and West, and do
not, to everyone, convey the same
idea.
To make this clear, let us suppose
that A stands at the North Pole and,
turning in the direction of the country
from which he came, feels the wind
blowing in his face. He would. of
course. claim that this wind was south
erly, and nobody would dare contradict
him, for does not the wind come from
Norway, which is south from the Pole?
His companion, B, however, who stands
little distance further off, let us saw
% steps beyond the Pole, on the
hemisphere on which America is situ-
ated, Will just as emphatically assert
that this wind is northern, as it blows
from the North Pole, and the snow
hakes 1t carries after having passed
the polar point no longer are directed
toward the North, but the South. There
is no use disputing; both are right and,
altnough separated by few steps
only, that which to A is north is to B
south.

fire. The trenches have been consoli-

INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES.
ACTION ALLOWED IN COMMOD-
ITY SHIPMENTS.
South Affected Only by Shipments to
and From Specified Territory.

Washington, March IA general
increase Of about Is per cent. in COM
modify rates was granted today by the
interstate commerce commission to
railroads east Of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac Riv-
crs. supplementing a similar increase
allowed last June in class rates.
The order applies only to articles
shipped in large quantities such as
coal, brick, grain. foodstuffs. OIL
stone, cement, lumber and other sta
pie products shipped under the COM
modify classification. The new rates
will go into effect as soon as railroads
file new tariffs, probably within q few
weeks.
The action will add about SIS, ,-000,-
0v0 to revenue Of the Eastern roads,
although it will not actually increase
their earnings since the sum will re-
vert to the government OH the system
of common operation, and railroads
will be paid on the basis Of q fixed
compensation outlined in the railroad
bill just passed by congress- The rail-
road administration is not directly re-
spOnsible for the raising Of the rates
action on which was taken six months
ago.
Southern territory is not affected
except for shipments originating in
the East or destined for that section.
In general today's order of the COM
mission allow increases averaging 16
per cent in rates not raised by the
commissions decision last June 27 In
the Is per cent. case. which has been
pending for many months
In addition to ordering the general
increase i'm commodity rates. the COM
mission took special action in q num-
ber OF pending cases closely related
to the ID per cent. case and consid-
cred i'm conjunction with it, increas-
ing rates in most cases.
The commission ordered that in
raising the whole scheme of commod-
ity rates. existing differentials or rela-
tionship between cities Or districts be
preserved. This provision will serve
TO maintain present relationships un-
der the long and short haul laws.
Western and Southern roads had
planned to await action in the Eastern
commodity case before asking in
creases for themselves. Now that the
government controls the railroads, ac-
ton affecting these sections will be
taken only by direction of the rail
road administration. Southern line:
had not asked increases.
