There was no chance Of overpowering

Two men rose from q table where
they had been sitting, and put on great
coats Of fur. The lamp light within
quivered In the wind from the open
door. Milky was quite calm now.
His heart beat Its regular seventy-two,
and he even reflected, with a sort Of
grim humor, that the chancellor would
find the recital Of this escapade
much to his taste. In a modest way
Milky felt that he was making history.
The man who had received the let

The other two climbed into the ton

ment doubly ridiculous, the road led
straight. Milky, growing extremely
cheerful behind his goggles, wondered
how much petrol remained In the car.
The men behind talked In low tones.
"They are late tonight" grumbled
one Of them, as the house appeared,
full lighted. "A tardy start tomorrow
again"
"The king must have his Sleep"
commented the other, rather mock
ingly.

SHARE OUR SUGAR
With the ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of SWeetenina
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England France and Italy, ma
tions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumptiOn-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
in the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as a luxury, sugar
Is now a war time essential. The fair
and just division Of this essential is
in the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration Of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households Of both rich and poor.
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is pound and
half and in Italy it is one pound a
month. And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation OF each luncheon. In
ETance many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with thehl
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625OOO acres devoted to sugar produc-
tion. By 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 100000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy it, one must first
find 1t.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy. It's manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually !,
taken over by the state.
Saccharine is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
estate Sugar." which is largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
a great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
have virtually gone out of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents a pound; France.
72 cents; Italy, 26 cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American Wholesale
price is being held at IN cents

our SAVED FOOD
| FED The ALLIES
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased b"
I, s44. 100000 Pounds.

i Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 1Al.si
100000 bushels of wheat and 4,6u3s >
600 pounds of meat during the paSU
year, valued in all at s., 400,O0O,O03.
This was accomplished In the face OF
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeakng the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in a let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
iup of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment of
meat during 1917-1S.
The total value Of all food ship
'ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,400,O0O,O00, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
'(including meat products, dairy psod-
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows: =,
Fiscal year 1861. 2, 1876, 800, 900 lbs
Fiscal year 1917-1S. ..3,011, 100000 lbs.
Stone County enterprise. [volume] (Wiggins, Stone County, Mississippi) 1916-current, 1918-09-07

! Increase ......... 44,60O000 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly iR-hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2, ,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1,266, 100000 pounds
in the same period Of the year before.
This compares with an average OF
;SO1, 100000 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.
In cereals and cereal products re-
,duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations have
been:

,dition to this we have shipped some

In this matter stands out even more
clearly il we bear in mind that we had

i2OO,OO0,OO0 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. "This last year, however.
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had avaffable from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
tion. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap~
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however, do not fully

Increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop

Do What the Romans Did

1t is not always necessary to live
in Rome to do as the Romans do
or did.
History tells of Roman farmers
who carefully chopped fine their
various green, succulent feeds and
packed them in pits for use dur
ing the winter season. The prac-
tice seems to have been common,
and the feed kept well, From
those early times it has been good
practice to store various green
crops in pits or air-tight contain
ers for feeding to stock. The Silo
is the present-day result, and a
farmer who raises live stock, be
they cattle, sheep or hogs, cannot
afford to be without one. The adj
vantages Of the silo are numerous,
but some of the more important
are:
Green, succulent feed is availa-
BILE throughout the year.
A silo stores more food for less
cost than any other farm building.
The feed is handy for use.
