Washington Once Drafted.

Even Washington himself was once
drafted into the service of his country.
It was in 1893, long after the revolu-
ton, and after Washington had been
president for two terms, and had gone
into well-earned retirement ut Mt.
Vernon. France had broken relations
with us, and war impended. Congress
appointed Washington commander of
the army. and the secretary of war,
carrying the commission to him, found
him in the harvest field. When Wash
ington learned the errand, on which his
visitor had come, he said: II am ready
for any service that can give my
country."-Youth's Companion.

FOOD CONTROLLER Of
. CANADA GIVES WARNING
Food Production Should Be In
creased at All Cost.

In his letter to the public on the
LIST of January, Hon. w. j. Hanna, Can.
ada's Food Controller, SAYS
Authoritative information has
reached me that food shortage In Eu.
rope is terribly real, and only the
sternest resolve on the part of the pro-
ducers, and equally stern economies on
the part of all as consumers, can DOS
sibly save the situation.
"France last year had a crop be.
tween one-third and one-half that of
normal year. Women did the work Of
draught animals in determined effort
to make the impoverished soil of
France produce every possible ounce
OF food. They now look to us to make
up their deficiency of essential sup
plies.
1.-THE harvest in Italy was far below
normal and will require much larger
supplies to feed her people until next
harvest.
1T is impossible for the allies to
spare many cargo carriers to transport
1oodstuf from India, Australia, New
Zealand and even the Argentine Repub-
lie. This means that the allied nations
are practically dependent upon North
America to supply them with the food
which must be Forthcoming If terrible
suffering is to be avoided and the fight
Ing efficiency Of the armies maintained.
"On December 1, the United States
had not single bushel of wheat for
export, after allowance was made for
domestic requirements on the basis Of
normal consumption, and the United
States Food Administration is endeav-
oring to bring about reduction of 20
per cent in home consumption of wheat
and flour. This would release 100000.
GOO bushels for export, but the Allies
will require nearly five times that
amount before the 1913 harvest.
Canada is the only country in the
world, practically accessible to the AL
lies under present conditions of ship
ping shortage, which has an actual ex-
portable surplus Of wheat after allow
ance for normal home requirements.
The surplus today is not more than
11O,O00,O0O bushels. A reduction of 20
per cent in our normal consumption
would save an additional 100000
bushels for export. The outlook for
production of food stuffs in Europe
next year is distinctly unfavorable.
"Such is the situation-grave beyond
anything that we thought possible a
few months ago. Unless our people
are aroused to a realization of what
the world shortage means to us. to our
soldiers and to our Allies. and Of the
terrible possibilities which 1t entails,
disaster is inevitable.
Production, too, must be increased
to the greatest possible extent. Pres.
ent war conditions demand extraordi.
nary efforts, and every man, woman,
boy or girl who can produce food has
a national duty to do so.
II am confident that when the people
Of this country realize that the food
situation is of utmost gravity they will
willingly adjust themselves to the ne.
cessities Of the case and make what
ever sacrifices may be required. The
call which is made upon them is in
the name of the Canadian soldiers at

driven home with the telling force
of a practiced and able speaker.
DR.. Snyder was an official lecturer
at Camp Lewis on sociological mat
tcrs, and his address dealt in detail
with the effective manner in which
the government is looking after the
moral and physical health Of its
soldiers. Incidentally, lessons were
drawn of great value to the men
and boys present. The audience. cX-
clusively masculine, was large and
attentive and thoroughly appreci-
ative.
Seated on the platform were DR..
F. D. Watts. who presided; Stephen
A. Lowell, Roy 7. Bishop, DR..
II. z. Tharp and J. II. Gwinn.
Mr.. Gwinn was first introduced.
and spoke effectively on the subject

superb and thrilling bit Of oratory
on the duties Of citizenship in war
time.
Patriotic songs were rousingly
sung, under the direction of A. w.
