Don't Stop Saving Food.

The action of the Food Administration in al
lowing an additional pound of sugar per person per
month is gratifying for two reasons. 1t assures
larger share OF sweets during the months to come
and indicates the readiness with which the Food
Administration will lift other restrictions at the
earliest possible moment.
At the same time, the warning must be sounded
as to the necessity for continued conservation along
all lines The latitude of the Food Administration
in regard sugar carries no suggestion of an ex-
cuse for relaxing the rigid denial and economy
which the people have been practising to aid in the
prosecution OF the war Everywhere the warning
Don't Stop Saving Food" may be read; and it is
the reminder of the Food Administration that we
are shipping soldiers faster than any ma
ton ever before put army foreign soil and
that those soldiers must be fed.
Besides our fighting men, we are feeding the
hungry nations of the world, and even the cessa-
ton of hOstilities will not mean the end of food
conservation. The end OF the war may be in sight
but the great task of returning soldiers to their
native shores will confront the nation later, and
there will yet be hungry mouths to feed in many
war stricken nations.
The more now, the greater will be the
accommodating surplus of supplies and the quantity
Of that surplus is the determining factor in the
food situation

South a Natural Hog
PRODUCING Country

II the farm is as important in winning the war
as the fighting forces then it should be as pleasing
To read of the victories of the soil those of the
battIefelds.
The South has borne a wonderful part in the
nroduction of food for the furtherance of the war;
and in no department of farm activity has it
achieved greater success than in the raising OF more
hogs and better hogs That this is true is striking
" brought to mind by recent article in the Coun-
try Gentleman by John E. Pickett, entitled THE
South as the Coming Stock Land of America. MI
Pickett relates the story of some northern breeders
who were attracted by the prospectus of a Southern
sale of Duroc swine. They decided to attend the
sale. believing that Southern buyers were un-
acquainted with the merits of the really high quail
ity animals offered by the Southern breeder and
that they. therefore, could easily cop off, some
valuable purchases
But it was bad day for coping, q" says Mr.
ptekett's article "As it turned out, there was
large number of Southern planters present who did
know quality and were willing to pay for it, and
when the bidding battle was over and the averages
computed it was found that price history had been
made Forty-four bred sows averaged S419 apiece,
and seventeen sows bred to Scissors grand champion
Duroc boar at the 1917 National Swine Show
averaged S6S2 head. Only four of fOrty-four sows
left the South. About all the Northern
visitors got for their long ride was lot OF lnIorma
ton about the South
Part of this information is summed up by Mr..
Pickett as follows: They learned for instance that
the South is natural swine country which pro-
duce pork very cheapy because it has the pasture,
the feed and the right type of animals"
Among the other facts about swine culture in
the South noted by Mr. Pickett is that Georgia is
raising now more hogs than either Kansas, Wis
consin or Minnesota and that in the recent quotas
OF pork production increases asked of Southern
States the result follows: Tennessee, asked
for fifteen per cent increase furnished eighteen per
cent; Georgia, asked for five per cent, gave seven;
while Alabama increased twelve per cent; Arkansas,
fifteen per cent; Mississippi, twelve per cent, and
South Carolina six per cent. These increases, too,
IL vas noted, were mostly in pured-bred animals
II the North has only just discovered that the
South is especially adapted to hog raising it must
be said that the South is also just waking up to
this fact 1t is however, waking fast and the years
that follow the close of the will undoubtedly
see the SOuth's pre-eminence in the production of
hogs firmly established.

Var WinnSng ShibS.

In no province of war work are American energy
efficiency strikingly manifest than in ship
building. Recent reports show that on the Pacific
coast seagoing vessels are being turned out at the
rate of more than one day. In the Oregon yards
alone, one hundred and thrty-four ships, of which
twenty-nine were steel, we're delivered to the Gov
eminent up to July the first; and today one hundred
and twenty-seven additional ships in process of
construction. The aggregate tonnage produced in
these yards amounts to approximately nine hundred
thousand. Furthermore the giant Douglas frs of
the Pacific Northwest have made possible the five
thousandton wooden steamers of which the heads of
the merchant fleet construction long dreamed
Vessels of this type will have a third more cargo
space than the largest wooden steamers hitherto
built for the Government, and in the judgment of
competent observers will be particularly advan-
tageous regards cost Of operation Says a recent
account from Portland while great gangs of
workmen are launching bulls of eighty-eght-hun-
dred-ton fabricated steel ships at the Northwest
Steel and Columbia shipbuildng plants the banks
of the Willamette river, otter clipping sixteen days
from the contract time of seventy-fve days. other
gangs are fashioning monarchs from the Western
forests into thirty northumberland FIVE
thousand-ton-cargo carriers in yards dotting the
Willamette and Columbia rivers for more than
hundred miles"
When one reflects that these numerous and stu
pendousy productive plants constitute only frac-
ton of the nations total shipbuilding machinery,
the magnitude of the American achievement can be
imagined. All along the Atlantic coast the hammers
laundering and the rivets driving ceaselessly
home. Never there an enterprise in construc-
ton comparable to this gigantic output of ocean
carriers; and when we remember that the very
foundations of it all were laid less than eighteen
months ago, the result appears doubly marvellous
To the energy and efficiency thus exerted, is due
in large measure the fact that the American
program is six months ahead of schedule. Ocean
transportation the pivotal problem. Had it not
been solved, never could have had army of
two million in France by this autumn, never
could have kept them provsioned and equipped
Our ship-buildng deserves liberal credit factor
in Fastening the wars victorious end.

Military SaIUage Plants.

Not all of Americas splendid war achievement
has been demonstrated in front line operations.
The gaantry of American soldiers in attacking and
withstanding attack has evoked the admiration of
the world. It's citizen soldiers after comparative
ly brief period of training met and bested the
Kaiser's veteran legions German military eff
cheney, boosted the world over, went down before
the newer efficiency of the American freemen.
American genius, working under the stress of
imperative war conditions, has evolved other forms
of adequacy that will be revealed when actual hos
tlities have ceased and public interest is released
for the contemplation of other things. Significant
in this connection is the recent telegram from Cen
era1 Pershing to Secretary McAdoo, praisng the
work of the, American military salvage plants in
France General Pershing said:
1.-The salvage service is effecting a saving
to the Government considerably in excess of
100000 each day. But the saving in money,
while of great Importance, is not the vital part
of the work. We saving material impera-
lively needed at the front, material that
expenditure of money can Immediately replace.
We directly saving ocean tonnage, which
is seriously needed each week and indirectly
releasing labor for service in the shipyards on
the railroads and in other essential industries
in the United States"
These salvage plants under highly organized
forces, collect and repair make shoes, cloth
ing and other equipment of the soldiers which have
become unsuitable for further wear The plants
really immense rehabiliment stations for worn
out and cast-aside equipment. AS modern war
surgery is able almost to make out of
a terribly manned soldier, so these salvage plants
have acquired such degree of proficiency that they
turn almost frayed leather and gaping holes
into seryiceabe footwear and and tatters into
renewed fighting clothes. We have heretofore been
regarded as a wasteful nation, but in this in
hundreds of other things connected with the war,
the genius of the American people has again been
demonstrated. To free people seem open
limited sources of inspiration

The North Dakota state laboratory
at Grand Forks reports to Coroner A
E. Shipp that a vial discovered in a
dresser drawer in the room where
MIS-. William Luer, the wife of farm
er residing south of Driscoll, who died
under unusual circumstances recently,
was found to contain mercuric bichlor-
ide, and that the same poison in large
quantities were found in the wall OF
the dead woman's stomach. Mrs.
Luer and her newborn child died un-
der conditions which indicated poison
ing, and Coroner Shipp, called to con-
duct an inquest, found the poison in
a drawer to which the woman is said
to have pointed as she was dying.
This substance, together with the Wis
cera of the deceased, were sent to
Grand Forks for analysis. The coron-
er's jury, consisting of Commissioner
