country now, and all of the wheat we
are exporting now, has been saved 1t
Is all the result of wheatless days and
meals. And all of the wheat we con-
sumo and export until the next crop
comes in will be the result of our saw
ing. Hence the duty to save rests i'm
peratively on every citizen"
Control Of the wheat supply by the
Food Administration has resulted in
actual money gain for both the farm
er and the ultimate consumer in
America, Mr.. Sackett asserted. 1.-THE
farmer today is receiving 109 percent
more for wheat than he did on an av-
erage in 1906" he said. And the
consumer is paying 30 percent less for
bread. Out of every dollar the con-
sumner is paying 80 percent less for
bread. Out Of every dollar the con-
sumer pays for bread the farmer gets
AZ cents. Before the Food Admins
tration stabilized the price of wheat
and bread he received only 90 cents
This is gain for the farmer of 20
cents on every dollar spent by the
consumer for bread"

RIGID OBSERVANCE
Of Wheatless Days and Meals For
Next Three Months Is Asked By
State Food Administrator
Sackett.

Louisville, KY, January 26-Every
man and woman in Kentucky, whether
resident of the city or the county, is
asked by Federal Food Administrator,
Fred NJ Sackett, to observe rigidly the
practice of wheatless days and meals
during the next three months. Unless
this is done, our soldiers in France
and our associates in the war will suf-
fer for the want of wheat, Mr.. Sackett
said.
Perhaps the gravest problem fac
ing the Food Administration now is
that of wheat shortage" Mr.. Sackett
said. "At our present rate of con-
sumption we will be from 75,0O0,00O to
9O,OOO,OO0 bushels short by March |.
So it is imperative that we consume
less white bread and other wheat pro-
ducts. We must observe rigidly Mon
days and Wednesdays as wheatless
days and one wheatless meal on ev-
cry other day"
Further restrictions in the use of
wheat by bakers in making bread may
be required also. The Food Admins
tration is considering limiting the baF
ers to so per cent wheat -four and re-
curing the use Of 20 per cent of other
cereals. Consumers may also soon be
compelled to buy pound of other
cereals with every pound OF wheat
-four.
1T is better to have wheatless days
and meals now than wheatless months
later on Mr.. Sackett said. But many
persons as yet are not sufficiently
alive to the Importance of eating less
white bread Every one should make
it his personal duty to cut down on his
consumption of wheat"
That the observance of wheatless
days and meals has resulted in a great
saving and material help in winning
the war, Mr.. Sackett was confident.
I'VE have already exported the whole
of the surplus of the 1917 harvest,
over and above the noraml demands
of our own population" he said. "All

Son of Mr.. And Mrs. Edwin Dashieli,
| Who Has Just Been Made First
Lieutenant. Says He Would Like
To be With The Boys of The 10th
The following very interesting let
| ter has recently been received by Mr..
and Mrs Edwin Dashiell, of this
city, and was the first notice they
| have had of the fact that their son,
J. Bryan DashielI, has recently won
his commission as a First Lieuten-
ant. Lieut.. Dashiell enlisted in Com
pany c, of the Maryland National
Guard, as a private, and has worked
his way up, by strict attention to
discipline and hard study, until now
he has been one of six men at Camp

First Lieutenancy. His letter, which
displays an exceptionally fine senti-
ment and a true love for his COM
rades and his country, follows:
Wednesday, Camp Perry.
My dear Mamma:
Well, your letter received today,
and l was so glad to hear from you,
and particularly about the 115th In
fantry, as | have always said they
don't need any second invitation to
fight, and God knows my heart is
with them. and above all others, l
wish them the best of luck. | be-
lieve I had rather be Sergeant
with them than what l am today,
which is higher than what you think.
They can raise me in rank, but 1
think the love for that old National
Guard Regiment, and the men l
shared so many hardships with, will
always be there, as that is one place
l soldiered like l never thought pos
sible.
Don't think l am Dragging, as L
don't see anything out of the ordi-
nary l have done, except do my duty.
am sorry l can't say l have done
something wonderful like some 9TH
ers | know. but l have not; yet, six
advances came through out of the
many Second Lieutenants that went
before the board with me, and my
name was one of the six. l have
seen the telegram saying l am a First
Lieutenant, but | have not received
it yet. As YOU are first in my thou
ghts, l am writing you and Pop, so
you can share my happiness with me.
One hour later-Been to head

BACKS TO THE WALL.


Two remarkable speeches were made
An New York City last week. n by
Mai Gen. Leonard Wood and the
other by James NJ. Beck
General Wood, discussing the en-
envy. said:
we may damn his methods and
condemn his morals and denounce the
object OF the war, but do not let us
make the mistake Of Understanding
his value as a fighting machine. The
man who tells you that the enemy Is
exhausted and there IA going 10 be an
easy victory tells you what II no true.
II IA going TO be a war that will try
your very souls"
In other words our silly optimism
must give place 10 a clear. compre-
hension OF the fact that We are night
ing a nation which IL not only not
beaten, hut which Is today quite con-
ndent that Il can overcome all oppo-
sltion and by force OF arms achieve
dominion OF the entire world.
Mr.. Beck agrees with General Wood.
and drives home his " convictions
al follows:
In Gods name. do not let US self
compiacently think that we have done
all that a nation OF a hundred millions
could have done. Let as realize that
a full year after the war We have not
acquitted ourselves as We should have
done. II you tell the people that
We are bound 10 win. that Il Is but
a question OF time. you won't get re-
suits. Tell them Men OF America.
your backs are 10 the wall. Now Is
the time 10 20 on or 10 go under
we have been going along on a
mistaken psychology. We began the
war by %depreciating the strength OF
our adversary and -exaggerating our
strength. This Is no time for
complaoency. for Roasting. This Is
the time 10 do or die. This great
country will win its true place
until we have taken out OF the nation
al consciousness the spirit OF brag-
ging and boastlng."
In other words Il Is the United
states and the allies that are fighting
with their backs 10 the wali-nol
German. To only n OF our Opt.
mistic beliefs may we safely cling
that is the firm conviction that We
are going 10 win the var. The resI
OF our handicap OF optimistic ignor'
ance, Incidence and self-satlsfnctiof
must be east away. We've a Ions

''When we took the village hap

against one wall was the dead
body of a woman, her hands crossed
above her head and nailed to the
wall by spike. There were no other
wounds on her body-she must have
been left there to die from torture.
"Opposite her, against the other
wall, was little three-year-old child,
with its head impaled on sharp hook
and It's limp little body hanging down.
The two had doubtless been crucified
at the same time and left alone to
watch each others death agonies.
Sergeant Goad said that some time

Wood, but were driven back Temporal

score of wounded, whom they had been
unable to rescue, had been savagely
slain.

The mule had a hunger, too, and 1t

have peace.
