grippe and become posted on how to handle it.

Another Way OF
Carrying A Rifle

L cannot carry rifle, but | can
do without wheat" said hoary-
headed yerLeran OF the Civil War re-
Gently. All the fighting spirit OF the
days of '63 was reflected in his deter
mined look. His heart was still
young enough 20 yearn to be over
there with the boys of 1918. He
wanted to do his part in settling
once and for all the Huns Insult to
civilization.
But though his heart was young,
his rheumatic joints reminded hin
sadly that he could not hope to take
any active part in today's war. He
knew, however, that there was a part
he could still play; he could con-
tribute his share Of the needed wheat
to those who are actually carrying
the rifles.
There are many men too old to car
ry rifles. There are some young
men whose physical ills prevent them
from going across. Then there are
women and children who cannot be
at the front. But all these can ana
should pledge themselves to eat nc
wheat during the critical shortage OF
the next three months.
1t is only personal sacrifice and
personal saving that will give US
any wheat to send until next har-
vest. There are other foods in plen-
ty for Americans to eat as wheat
substitutes.
To eat these and release every
pound OF wheat possible IS one way
of carrying rifle in this war against
barbarous autocracy.

The Actual Wheat Situation

Recent press dispatches widely
circulated through the country have
given the wholly false impression
that there is no longer need for rig
OrOus conservation of wheat ana
-four" The food administration de-
clares that every aspect of Ghe wheat
situation both present and prospec-
tive intensifies the need for the great
est possible limitation in the Ame1i
can consumption of wheat and wheat
products. If present restrictions
should be in the slightest degree re
Taxed it would result in serious want
for the people of Europe before the
new crop can reach the market.
The Food Administration esti-
mate of the position on the first OF
June indicates a total available sup
ply until the new harvest, including
the grain which will be available
from the farms in country and ter
minal elevators and mill elevators OF
about 100000 bushels. Of this
100000 bushels must be exported
before new wheat is available for eX-
port, if we are to maintain the alb
solutely necessary shipments to our
Army and the Allies. That leaves
about 26,OOO,000 bushels for domes-
tic consumption for the next two
months.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only
one-third OF normal.
farms and in elevators there is al
ways an indeterminate further
amount in transit ana in dealers

in with the -four available for use
matter of fact this stock is not ac-
matter of fact thi sstock is not ac
tually available since these supplies
must remain constantly in flow; they
remain a permanent stock, the re-
moval of which would later cause a
period of acute shortage in distribu-
ton before new wheat would be
available.
There is further an inclination to
include new crop prospects with
present conditions which has led to
confusion. The harvest will not be
generally available in flour until
middle August or early september,
although in the extreme south it will
be somewhat earlier
At a meeting of the Federal Food
Administrators in Washington re-
Gently, representing all forty-eight
States, it was the unanimous view
abundant it will be the first duty of
the American people to place every
grain they can save into storage as
against possible bad years ahead. In
consequence there should be no an
ticipation of unlimited wheat bread
until the ewar is over
Some of the most inconvenient re-
strictions can no doubt be modified
with the arrival of a large harvest,
but il we are honest with ourselves

ing the use of some substitutes both

COLLEGE ROW ENDS
In HEAD RESIGNING
DR.. James w. Cain Resigns as Presi-
dent of Washington College, Ches-
tertown-This is The Second Time
Within The Past Two Years.

AT meeting Of the Board of Visi-
tors and Governors of Washington
College, Chestertown, recently, DR..
James w. Cain presented his resig
nation of the Office of president, and
it was accepted. The resignation OF
DR.. Cain is the elimination of al
most a year of discord between the
Board of Visitors and the admins
tration of the college
A number of students engaged in
hazing bout, and in the scuft1e pis-
tolls were used by one side and knives
by the other. The affair got beyond
the control of DR.. Cain and the fac
ulty, and the town officers were call
ed to the college to quell the rabble.
suspended nine of the students, and
20 more of the boys Immediately left
out of sympathy for those who had
been suspended.
There has been a factional spirit
among the students ever since the
close of the football season, last fall,
when one of the body failed to be
elected to the captaincy of the team.
This led to an ugly spirit among the
boys and the faculty was put to its
wits end to cope with the situation.
The hazing was a result of this bad
feeling. President Cain decided to
take summary measures with those
boys who were the instigators of the
affair, with the result that the school
was almost depleted of students.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Board of Visitors and
Governors. DR.. Cain found strong
sentiment among the members of the
board in favor of reinstating those
boys who had been suspended, and
! he prepared his resignation in writ
ing in the afternoon, prior to the
meeting, and sent it to the board at
night.
This is the second time within the
past two years that DR.. Cain has re
signed from the presidency of the
college, because of friction between
! himself and certain members of the
Board of Visitors and Governors.
Two years ago a majority of the
board sustained Dr.. Cain and his ia
Guilty in their action, and he consent
ed to withdraw his resignation. This
time, however, he stated that his
resignation was final, and the board
accepted it.

at a cost of $4,000, and he has

service he has always sought to main
tain a high standard of efficiency in
every department of the institution.

Germans Don't Worry

Atlanta, Ga, June 17.-Although
in constant danger or being killed or
wounded by the Boche shells, gas
bombs and bullets, Gardner Adams,
nineteen year old Atlanta lad, serv-
ing with the U. S. Marines in France,
is greatly pertuTbed because the At
lanta base ball club, of the Southern
League, is going bad and has just
lost seven straight games.
In a letter to his mother, instead of
telling of the number of Germans he
has killed or captured, the brave
youngster complains about the show
ing of the Crackers, declaring that he
is the butt Of endless kidding" at
the hands of several New Orleans
boys in his company.
