German Paper Tells Of Hardships Of
Soldiers Family.

OVlulCA = 1
The committee on public informa-
ton has made the following transla-
ton of a story appearing in the Oc-
tober Is, 1917, issue of the Leipziger
Volkszeitung:
"A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been brought to
our attention from Upper Langenau
in Silesia. One of the hired men of
DR.. Mueller's agricultural estate has
been for a long time at the front. His
wife, who had been working alongside
her husband before the war after the
usual custom, remained in the ranks
of the field hands and accordingly re-
tanned her farm cottage. October l
this woman got the following letter:
"'The undersigned bailiff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as OF
this date to the field service for Jan.
1, 1918. On that day you are to give
up your house. The work which you
are doing on the farm does not COM
pensate the farm for the loss which
accrues to it through the continued
support of your family. Look out fol
yourself away from this farm, your
house is needed for other USE
"The woman communicated the no
tice to her husband with these words:
4 must tell you my distress, soon
shall not be able to see the paper for
by tears. What shall l do? Winter
is at the door and the cottage is full
of little children
"Thus the bailiff of the estate of q
bloated landlord turns a family with
eight children out of doors in mid
winter while the man is at the front

Motion Pictures Show How Work of
Bows Increases Meat Supply.

To help increase the pork supply
the department of agriculture has re-
leased to motion picture theaters,
through one of the large companies, a
film showing the work of the boys pig
clubs which the department is organi-
zing in all parts Of the country. The
film shows methods of %instructing
farm boys who have Joined the agri-
cultural clubs how to raise better pigs
and the methods used by club men,
bers in carrying out instructions.
The first pig club was organized in
Louisiana in 1910. Now approximately

states are planning to send carloads
of fat hogs to fairs and stock shows,
after which they are to be marketed

To increase Frances crops and to
tighten the burden of toll on her old
men, women, and children 1900 farm
tractors will go to that country from
the United States. The first hundred
are already on the way, and the whole
number will be in France by March,

of instruction will be organized.
The acreage sown to crops in the

was about 10000, 900 acres less than
in 1913, or 24.4 per cent. The in
creased production through the use Of

Food Supply of France and Neutral
Countries on the Decline.

Food Supply of France and Neutral
Countries on the Decline.
According to the food administra-
ton, shortage of wheat in France is
becoming more and more alarming
each week. The minister of general
revictualing indicated recently that
a further reduction of 20 per cent in
the bread ration would soon become
imperative.
Denmark is now looking forward to
a reduction of wheat rations. Final
figures for the cereal harvest show a
total Of about $4,000 900 bushels,
which is 10000, 900 bushels less than
in 1916 and about 100000 900 less than
was estimated in the summer, when
the populace was put on bread ra-
tions. The authorities are already
considering a further reduction in the
allowed consumption.
The food situation in Switzerland
is rapidly falling to the danger line.
A ration that is far below the con-
sumption in many of the countries at
war has already been ordered. I'm
der the new regulations the Swiss
may have only a pound and a half of
sugar per person per month. The
bread ration has been fixed at about
half a pound a day, and the butter
ration at one-fifth of a pound a

Thoroughly drenched, we continued

badly disorganized. Cavalry. mounted

disorder the panic, which character

suffered losses, but nothing In com.
