! Regarding government restrictions on
the importation OF rubber, end the
enaeavor OF tire manufacturers in CO.
| operation with the government to
restrict the manufacture OF unnecessary
tire sizes, J. c. Weston, vice-president
and director OF sales OF the United States
Tire Co., says;
"The intention OF the government In
the control and restriction OF the Inn
portsfion of rubber 10 10 conserve ship
ping space, and the program that has been
laid before the manufacturers OF rubber
goods has won their unanimous support.
tine manufacturers OF tires are heartily
cooperating with the government pro-
gram for the eventual elimination of un-
necessary tire sizes. This will simplify
the problem tor each user Of the motor
car, reducing his cost and making II pos
sible for him to secure the tire size he
needs, in good tires, more readily than
the market and manufacturing conditions
now permit.
"Pians for the withdrawal OF certain
tire sizes from use b. manufacturers of
motor cars will not In any way interfere
Win tue uhHutActuFe ana Contribution OF
the tires to users who need those particu-
lar sizes.
'There is nothing in the present or prob
able future situstion to occasion the
slightest apprehension OF shortage of
tires for legitimate use.
There never Was time when users OF
motor cars could SO well serve the nation
as by making the most OF their cars In le-
sitinate commercial and passenger SER
vice, and refusing to hoard or unnecss-
ssrily anticipate their needs in tires or
other motor car supplies"
Mr. Weston called attention to the fact
that the government has no, at the present
time imposed any restrictions on the use
OF motor cars by the sutomobiiiSts OF the
country, but has relied on the patriotism
OF the car-owners to exercise proper dis
erection IA the use OF their vehicles. with
view to conserving their cars and tires.
Mr.. Weston is of the opinion that the
motorists OF the country can be trusted to
cut down mere pleasure riding to mini
mum, and to take every possible step to
save tires, oil and gasoline.

Congressman Caldwell of New

statement that $4,000 American
soldiers were safely transported over
seas the first ten days in May, and
that within one year from the arrival
OF the first American troops in France
the United States would have one
million men in France. The year is
nearly up. We haven't heard much

Hancock county is "over the top"

great work the Red Gross is doing.
The 500, 900, 900 fund has been over

this second fund came much more
easily than the first. Giving OF self

quate supply OF twine to neetv.their
harvest requirements.
Retail dealers have agreed to dis
tribute the Irvine 90 the farmers on q
basis. which, considering the neces-
sarily high price OF twine, does not
seem unreasonable. An ample supply
OF binder twtne lie assured. and there
fore. there need be no uneasiness
about the supply OF twins in time to
meet harvest
Further Restrictions.
Further restrictions against the use
OF meat have been put In force in
England. according to word received
by the United States Food Admins
trstion. Only two coupons for butch
ers' meat can DO used per week, In
stead of three as had been done since
the country was rationed and the dis
tribution put under the card system.
The British meat shortage is being
felt more severely than at any time
since the war started. That the short
age is not confined TO meats. however.
Is shown by the fact that effective
control OF the milk supply is already
being considered In order, to meet the
possible greater shortage later in the
year and that some sections OF Eng
lish labor are favoring extensions OF
the compulsory rssioning system to
bread. cheese. and tea There Ia a
marked difference OF opinion as to the
efficacy or desirability Of such a move
however.
Urge Release Of Wheat.
So great has become the European
demand for -four that the U. s. Food
Administration is urging farmers no,
to hold wheat for seeding their next
crop except in a few States where the
period OF harvesting winter wheat ov-
erlaps the period OF planting.

The thought that I cannot put

might save now and fail to save
now may be a hundred times
the worst waste shall ever have
committed though I have, like
most Americans, many q past
wasteful habit to regret.
1t will be far the worst be-
cause not to save now is to
throw away the cooperation of
millions of others; because not
to save now win tend to prolong
the war; because not TO save
now will multiply the wars pri-
vations, lengthen its death-roll,
