An exchange reports a joke on
an editor who went one evening to
attend a party al home recently
blessed with a new baby. He met
his hostess at the door, and after
the usual salutation he asked
about the baby's health. The lady
who was quite deaf and suffering
with the grippe thought he was
asking after her cold. answered
that aI.l,o she usually had one ev-
cry winter, this was the worst one
she ever had; i; kept her awake at
night a good deal and at first con-
fined her to her bed Then notic-
ing that the newspaper man was

could tell by his looks that he was
going to have one just like hers

For French soldier, cut. ...... 20
For American civilian, cut. >. so

Amazing facts were disclosed by M.
Tardieu, French high commissioner to
the United States, in his address to the
Southern commercial congress, empha.
sizing the need of increased shipments
of wheat from this country to the al
lies.
While the food administration is
asking the people Of the United States
to cut their wheat consumption from
three pounds to a pound and half
week or, II they will. to totally abstain
from the use of wheat -four until the
next harvest, the French people are on
bread cards allowing only about one
third the average consumption Of
wheat products In that country.
Even the bread ration of the French
soldier has been cut nearly 20 per cent.
Feeding horses and cattle on grains
that can be used for bread has been
prohibited.
BY killing the live stock that cannot
be fed, the French people have had
meat to eat, which, in turn, has re-
duced their consumption Of cereals.
The manufacture of pastry and bis
cults and fancy bread has been pro-
hibited in France.
Sugar consumption has been reduced
49 per cent.
Rice consumption has been reduced
61 per cent.
Imports Of oils and fats have been
reduced 4S per cent.
Yet the French have fought for four
years. With the American soldiers
and "with unconQuerable steadfast-
ness." said NJ. Tardieu, their army ''is
still holding over two.thirds Of the
western 'front.'"
Out Of the S5.OeO, 900 population Of
France, 100000 soldiers have gone to
the front.
Over million men have been killed.
Over million men have been
MANNED.
The farms are run by the women
and children.
From March to September, 1917.
France lived on 20 per cent of her nor
NAL food supply.
For months the shipment q wheat
from this country has been short q
third Of the quantity required by our
allies.
aWithin the last weeks" said Com
missioner Tardieu. "there have been
In France agricultural districts which
had for days to put up with conf

CANADA TO EAT LESS BREAD
Cannot Make Mixed Cereal Bread ana
Must Do Without Usual Supply
Of Wheat Bread.

There are not sufficient supplies of
barley, rye and oats in the Dominic
to Justify regulation compelling baI:.
ers to produce mixed cereal bread.
For Canada, Victory must cone
through ''less bread" instead Of "Vic-
tory bread"
The food controller of Canada is
urging Canadians to eat less bread.
He asserts in recent statement that
by the end Of spring, II the minimum
needs Of Europe are met, there Will
not be single pound Of wheat or
flour on this continent in excess Of
what will be absolutely required for
home consumption.

A Proclamation
To the People of Iowa:

The coal situation i'm Iowa is
serious and commands the atten-
tion OF all our people at this time.
The demands of the state from
March to March approximate I 4
million tons of coal. Last year,
The Iowa mines, running almost
full time and fully manned, pro-
duced only nine million tons.
The federal government has in
stituted the zoning system so VIC
will be dependent largely upon
coal from Iowa mines. Not to ex-
ceed four million tons can be
shipped in from the outside. APP
proximately there are fifteen thou
sand miners in the state. Nearly
ten per cent of these skilled men
have left the state, due to the fact
that since March 1st., the mines
OF Iowa have been idle great
portion of the time.
The idleness is largely due to
the fact that our people are not
buying and storing Iowa coal, and
the idle time already gone and the
loss of miners means that we are
facing coal famine next winter,
i that is vital to the peace, happi-
ness and prosperity of the people
Of the State. II we are short of
coal next winter, it means short
Ter hours in schools, if not their
closing, shorter business hours.
factories running on short time or
closed, and great inconvenience,
and discomfort in many homes.
10 keep up.the morale and the
productive efficiency of our peo-
pie, it is the plain, patriotic duty
of every citizen so far as he can,
to place his order for Iowa coal
now for immediate delivery.
; Now, therefore, by virtue Of au-
thority in me vested, /, w. l.. Har-
ding, Govorner IT the State of Ia,
call upon every user of coal in
the state to buy and store Iowa
coal without further delay.
In testimony whereof, | have
hercunto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the Great Seal of the
State.

Iowa farmer clasped hands. All
about them were othe.s americans.
There was joking and laughter as
