Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies Ire forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of 80,000,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,000.000 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
$4,000, 900 bushels nor out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will ado 100000 DOC to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that he
wheat does not exist IL che
world-it Is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

America Consumed AZ, 1000, 900 Bushels Monthly.
From Now Until Harvest Must Use
Only $1,000, 900.
RATION PER PERSON IS Il POUNDS
OF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY
Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here-Alied War
Bread Must Be Neutrality-suspicious. Soldiers and
Sailors to Have Full Allowance.

If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary proper
ton of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the
next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce
our monthly consumption to 81 900, 900 bushels a month, as
against our normal consumption of about AZ, 900, 900 bushels,
or SO per cent. of our normal consumption. This is the situa.
ton as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washing
ton. Reservng a margin for distribution to the army and for
special cases., leaves for general consumption approximately
~ pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food
Administrations statement continues: Many of our consumers
are dependent upon bakers bread. Such bread must be durable
and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products
than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and
navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population
can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat
products than can the poor; In addition, our population in
the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are album
dant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these
other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations.
With improved transportation conditions we now have avail
able a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months
a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human
consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes. has
already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains.

Colonel Chops Wood for Dough Girls

we just put the homesick doughboy
to work. He did everything we sug-
gested, cut wood. fixed benches, fried
doughnuts, and by the end of h day
he was whistling and singing. Work
seems to be the best thing We can
give them when they are homesick.
From time to time we have had
boys near our canteens. who were
more help than the ordinary crowd.
They usually were more faithful than
others, and got to be our favorite
workers-though we always tried 20
stick to our rule and never be partial.
But we can't let the boys make
pies or doughnuts. They would
learn to do 1t right, though some OF
them can be trusted with dipping
doughnuts, or putting the pies in the
oven, and removing them. IL we tell
them when they are done. We d.
the work among US. I always
mix the doughnut dough and make
the pies, and my sister manages the
financial end of the canteen. That
arrangement gives us both the work
we like best.
We've just renewed the pie busi-
ness, but not permanently. we .
We had no oven In this little village
we are now in, and couldn't rake pies
for a long time. But the boys mouths
watered for pie. and finally q lteuten-
ant found an old French stove In some
ruins. We had to half bury II to
strengthen II enough for USE. but 1t
works well enough to give the boys a
taste of pie every week or so. Pie day
almost Q a riot, so many boys
want a slice.

Earned Right 10 Haze
Breakfast With Mcintyre
Girls at Front
BY MISS GLADYS MCINTYRE
written for the United Press.)

WITH THE AMERICAN TROOPS
AT THE FRONT, June 1e. (By Mail.)
One bright morning a few days ago
Just after we had awakened and be-
fore we had begun Dur work In the
kitchen we heard some n chop
ping wood just back of the canteen:
We were pleased. for we needed WOOD
chopped, inc II is always nicer 70
have some doughboy to 90
1T than to have TO ask.
1 told my sister II must be the
homesick doughboy who had said the
day before that chopping wood for us
took him back to home and his
mother. He said he felt better after
chopping some wood. After a while
we left our billet and went around to
the kitchen. Who do you suppose was
out there chopping the wood?
1t was not the homesick doughboy,
or any other doughboy. but the
colonel of the regiment himself. We
were too surprised to see him swing
ing the axe to know what to say, n
almost forgot 70 thank him. He said
he liked his new job, and accepted
our invitation to have breakfast with
us. But the doughboys all say he Is
encroaching on their rights, when he
chops wood for us.
The Homesick Soldier.
The homesick doughboy was an in
teresting problem to He a re-
ceived no mail for four months from
home, and read in a paper one OF his
pals had received of the death OF his
sister. HIS father is not living either,
and the poor boy could hardly keep
from crying.
OF course we wanted to do some
thing for him. but 1t is hard to help
everyone like that, when you don't
know them We don't dare to show
too much attention to anyone. no mat
wouldn't be fair TO the others. So

FEWER BOYS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
According to Statistics Compiled from
Many Cities.

Enrolment in American public schools
has been affected by the war, but not 10
the extent of making it less than last
year, according to figures compiled by the
department Of the interior through the
bureau of education. Figures from l4ll
cities and 696 counties or districts show
an increase of close TO the normal amount
of ~ per cent in elementary schools, In
high schools, however, the increase is
only one-fourth of the usual 91s per
cent.
Such increase as there is in high school
enrolment is caused by the girl stu
dents. Fewer boys are enrolled this
year in every class in high school ex.
cept the fourth; apparently there is
healthy tendency for boys in the senior
year to remain and graduate.
In city elementary schools the in
crease in enrolment is actually some
what above normal; but in city high
schools there is marked falling of,
especially among the boys.
Country schools show some gains over
last year both in elementary and high
school enrolment, but not as great as
would be expected under normal condi-
tions. Rural high schools show increases
for both boys and girls, despite the war

QUOTAS IN SIGHT
nv X. OF c. DRIVE
Rutland First of Larger Cities to Give
Definite Assurance of Over
Subscription.

Burlington, Jan 25.-Early in the day
yesterday word came in to state head
quarters from DR.. f. Mahoney, district
manager for Rutland county, THAT Rut
land City would surely pass her quota of
5000 in the Knights of Columbus drive,
and, further, that they were going right
ahead to finish the job in typical Rutland
style. Much of the business district was
not yet canvassed and Rutland county
should have gratifying excess over her
allotment,
Word comes TO headquarters that in
many localities throughout the state the
canvassers have withheld reports, and,
in many cases, the active work in sec
lions until the industrial plants could re-
sumo operations Wednesday morning
Springfield is notable example, where
the early days of the campaign have
been largely taken up with missionary
work; but the local managers have every
confidence of coming across with their
quotas or exceeding them.
Ludlow is one of the banner towns,
with 5000 reported TO date on quota of
only $3.50 Local Manager McGrath of
Milton reports remarkable success in
his town. With quota of S4S4, the first
meeting held there Melted $3.50. Bel
lows Falls had raised considerably more
than half the quota of 81 1862 by Wednes
day night and report received late yes
terday says she has passed Brattleboro
A keen spirit of rivalry exists between
these two towns that speaks well for the
success of the campaign in both places
Burlington had a total Wednesday
night of 81 .334, and the solicitors are
meeting with such encouragement that
all are predicting healthy oversubscrip-
ton. !
State Chairman Wright said, ut is
to be expected that in almost every local
ity some people will be overlooked in this
canvass Such persons should consider
il a duty and privilege TO get in touch |
with either their local or
state headquarters. As Rutland paper
has pointed out, There is no such word as
"alibi" in such campaign as this.
Among the meetings arranged for to- /
night is one at Bennington, to be ad- |
dressed by Frank E. Howe and Rev. 4. A.
