NATIONS BIG FOOD SURVEY
lined by Charles J. Brand,
Chief of Bureau.

Washington, Jan. AL dealers In
and holders of foodstuffs in quantities
substantially greater than family sup
plies should report in the war emcf7
gency food survey of the United
States to be made as of January 1.
even though they do not receive inquiry
blanks by mail. according to a state
ment made here by Charles J. Brand,
chief of the bureau Of markets of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who has the big war inventory In
charge.
ave have attempted to send sched~
ules from Washington to each of the
hundreds of thousands of firms and In
dividuals who handle the food supply
Of the country, but obviously 1t has
been physically impossible to reach
them ALL" said Mr.. Brand. "All deal
ers, manufacturers and warehousemen
having any food in their possession,
and all other concerns, such as hotels
and institutions having more than $3.50
worth of food on hand, should arrange
to report their holdings Of December
81, whether schedules have been deliy~
cred to them or not. In case they do
not receive schedules by January 2,
they should write for copies to the bu-
reau Of markets, United States depart
ment of agriculture, at Washington, or
should call at or write to one Of the
many branch offices throughout the
country" !

THE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Reports from county chalrmen
throughout the state indicate that the
war savings stamp campaign is rapidly
getting under full swing and that as
the weeks pass it will steadily gather
momentum.
In practically every county the vari-
GUS committees are fully organized and
have been waiting only for the end of
the Red Cross Christmas Membership
campaign before commencing active
work. Now that the Red Cross has
again "gone over the top" work will
center upon thrift stamps and the totals
will rapidly increase.
Practically every post office in the
state is supplied with stamps and each
mail crarier and postmaster is an active
selling agency. State Director j. H.
Puelicher has authorized the various
county chairmen to appoint agents as
fast as possible and it is hoped that
within the next two weeks every store
of consequence in the entire state will
offer the stamps for sale.
This movement has more behind it
tran the mere raising of $4,000, ,00O, 600;
it is intended to make nation OF savers
instead of spenders to the end that in
the future we may compete favorably
with other nations that have long been
noted for their thrifty habits.
The plan is so simple that child can
readily understand it. Two stamps are
provided-a thrift stamp selling for 20
cents, that does not bear interest; and
sixteen of which with few cents added
to cover accrued interest, may be con-
verted into $500 war stamp at any
time. This war stamp, if purchased
during the month of January will cost
you $4.12 and in January, 1923, will be
redeemed in gold by the government
for it's face value of $500. If desired,
the war stamps may be purchased out
right without the use of the thrift stamp.

CHICAGO GREETS NEW YEAR
Usual HiIarity Missing in Cafes-War
Given as Reason.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Chicago celebrated
a wartime New Years eve last night
The orchestras in the loops gilded
cafes crashed just as bravely as ever !;
the wine corks popped just as loudly
as usual and there were the same
number Of bubbles to a bottle as
year ago. But there were fewer bot
ties and fewer patrons to drink them.
The restaurants were filled comfor-
tably, but not to suffocation. There
were fewer young folks than usually
are about on the first morning of the
New Year. Perhaps the reason was
that many Of them are at the canton
ments and some of the others were
thinking of them. There was no ele-
ment of gloom in the air, but the usual
hilarity and horseplay Of New Years
was absent. Watch services were held
in many churches, and the theaters
were we'll patronized. At the stroke
Of midnight there was noise without
limit.

Prepares Serious and Reasoned
Answer, Declares the
Manchester Guardian.
PREMIERTO SEE CLEMENCEAu
London Times Petrograd Correspond.
ent Says BoIsheviki Revolt Was
Managed by Germans, and That
Movement Is Anti-Russian.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Germany has
sent broadcast by wireless from Nauen
the ostensible peace terms of the Rus
sian bOlshevikf, and these have been
received in Washington. State depart
ment officials believe the report that
the kaiser has delegated the peace
making power to Chancellor Won Hert-
ling, and the "protests" of the Pan
German press against the "conces-
siOns" offered at Brest-Litovsk are
mere camoufage
British to Reply.
London, Jan. 1.-The Manchester
Guardian says it is the intention of the
British government, when the Austro-
German terms Of peace are presented
officially, to retuln serious and rea-
soned reply. Premier Lloyd George
has arranged to visit France, accord
ing to the newspaper, to confer with
Premier Clemenceau on this subject.
Scouts Peace on Part of French.
Paris, Jan. 1-Premier Clemenceau
refused the request of a delegation Of
Socialist members of the chamber Of
deputies for passports to Petrograd for
Socialist delegates. Many people would
not fail to say if granted, said the pre-
mier, that France was taking part in
preliminary negotiations for peace
which was in no wise thought of in
the absence Of serious propositions
from the enemy.
Kaiser Managed Revolt.
London, Jan. 1.-The Times prints
long letter from it's Petrograd CORE
spondent dated Saturday, which pur-
ports to substantiate the view that the
bolsheviH revolt was managed by Ger
many, and that the movement is
essentially antinational and anti
russian. The letter says:
ut is a notorious fact and has been
proved by documents in possession of
the Kerensky government that Ger
many commissioned Lenine and gave
him money to go to Russia to SOW dis
affection in the Russian army"

Farewell to 1917.

New York, Jan. 1.--Khaki and tho

dominated last night and early today
in this city amongst the crowds bid
ding farewell to the dying year and the
birth Of the new. The severe cold kept
pedestrians hustling, but the main
streets were crowded with endless
streams Of taxicabs.
While there was an absence of the
usual buoyant and noisy spirits Of pre-

war times, the predominant note was
one Of cheerfulness and winning op-
timism" as expressed by Capt. James
