European demand for American wheat
probably will no exceed orr normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have 8 white loaf at tlie com
mon table.
But last year the tale was diirereDt
Only hy the creates possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep Il
steady stream OF wheat and flour NOV
ing acros the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of Cue harvest
wear with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statistlcians
figured that We had a bare surplus of
20.O00,00@ bushels. And vet Europe
was facing the probability 81 il bread
famine-and in Europe bread Is by far
the most important article In the diet.
All of this surplus had LETT the
country early in the fall. By ne first
OF the year we had managed Il ship il
little more than 100000 bushels by
practlcing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution OF other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rh0ndda,
then British Food Controller, cabletl
that only If we sent an additional rs.
100000 bushels before July | could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response Of the American PEG
pie was s5,000,000 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January | and
July l. Out of a harvest which gave
US only 100000 bushels surplus w
actually shipped 141, 900 0o0 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be-
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened wal conscience, last !
years figures will be bettered.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events It
Is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look In July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been In the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he d
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge Of the
results already obtained In every d.
recti0n need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
In these United States"

Service Star Turns to Gold.

Edward G. Fogarty died in q hospital
in France on October 9th from wounds
received in action. This sad intelli-
gence was received in a telegram >ad-
dressed to his brother Mike last We'd
nesday. Edward Fogerty thus became
the first of the brave, stalwart young
men from this community to lay down
bis life in the great world war. This
brings the war home to Elma people
more vividly than it could otherwise be
done. Ed was splendid young man
and made brave. good soldier. He
saw much active duty in the front
lines of the great conflict. We can
rest assured that the honorable ira
ditions of Americas bravest warriors
was upheld by this young farmer
schooled only in the paths of peace.
Bis memory will long be cherished not
only by the members of his immediate
family but by all the members of the
community. We suggest that fitting
memorial service be held in his honor.

Kicked By Horse.

Roger Farnsworth, the four-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fay o. Farms
worth, was kicked in the face by q
horse last Wednesday afternoon. The
little fellow was out riding with his
uncle. Burton Evans, as he had been
many times during the past summer,
and they had gone beyond Vernon and
were returning home and coming down
the Vernon hill when the horse became
unmanageable and began to run and
kick, caused by the breeching straps
not being fastened. His nose was brok-
en- and his face and eyes were badly
bruised. He rested we'll last evening
and has good chances for recovery.

Tke Peace Celebration in Cresco.

The news that Germany had signed
the armistice submitted to them by
0neral Foch arrived in Cresco about
two :. m. Monday morning, by tele-
psne. Leonard Jolly notified large
number and at about $50 a. M, ring
ing bells and shrieking whistles pro-
caaimsd the joyful tidings and in
short time the whole town was astir
md celebrating.
"a meeting was called by Mayor
Barker and parade was arranged for
lin fact two of them, one in the after
noon and the other in the evening, and
u spite Of the short notice, both pa
rades were really creditable affairs.
Several Of the local musicians were
quickly drafted into a band, and just
before the parade started, the Protivin
band, composed of loyal, enthusiastic
Bohemians, came 10 to celebrate with
~, and their assistance was highly ap-
.pFecisted by our people. The first
place in the parade was given to the
mothers of the boys in the service, and
the Red Cross workers followed.
]. n. Howe's conn snies of boys and
girls made fine appearance, and seve-
ri of the lodges, among them the Odd
Fellows, w. c., r. N. A., w. O.. w.,
and N. w. A. were represented with
marchers or decorated autos. AT night
. big bonfire entertained the crowd at
the close Of the parade. e
On our inside pages, will be found
the details Of the armistice as signed
and other news concerning the close of
the great war, the largest and most de-
structive in the history of the world, q
war which was lost until the United

Popular Young Couple Married.

A pretty wedding ceremony took
place at the beautiful church of Our
Lady of>Lourdes at Lourdes, Tuesday
morning, November 9Th, 1918, when
Miss Maude Marian Bigley became the
bride of Francis Thomas Gleason, Rev.
Father Hogan officiated, using the ring
service.
The bride looked charming in a taupe
suit with hat and accessories to match,
while the groom wore a blue serge
suit. Mr.. and Mrs. Gleason were un-
attended, only the immediate families
of the contracting parties witnessed
the ceremony.
After the service at the church the
party repaired to the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. M. F.
Bigley, where four course breakfast
was served and where the many and
useful gifts were reviewed. .
The bride is q very popular young
lady, both in her, own community and
at Elma. She has always remained at
home and studied domestic science un-
der the direction of her very capable
mother, and we predict she will make
an ideal helpmate. e.. 49,
The groom is one of Elms's noblest
boys, honest, unright, and alert to
every opportunity to better himself.
He is a hustling young farmer and
bound to make good.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gleason will be at home
to their many friends after December
first in the George Jacoby home in
Busti. .-Elma New Era. m ~ 81

Red Cross Work.

The local Red Cross chapter received
a telegram to discontinue all work IN
the surgical dressings department, but
all other work will continue until further
orders. While demands will be lessened
along some lines it IS very probable
that relief work will fully occupy the
attention of the Red Cross for some
time to come. 's~
