FATTY FOND OF CHICKENS.

There is but one kind of chickens
that Fatty Arbuckle likes--real,
feathered, eatable fowls.
In the rear of Fattys studio resi-
dence which is a combined office,
dressing room and training quarters,
the portly comedian who makes Para
mount fans happy boasts an honest
to-goodness poultry farm.
While this up-to-d date studio quar-
tors was in construction Fatty start
ed his poultry farm with dozen
chickens. a half dozen ducks and one
turkey. Either the food or the fun
ny man must have been very popular
because quite a few pigeons mingled
each day with the non--fying fowls.
Now that the studio quarters is
finished even to the lawns. flowers
and white picket fences, Fatty has
welcomed a considerable addition to
his feathered family.

LIMITATION ON
Use OF WHEAT
Seriousness of Wheat Situation
Shown in Report by Agri-
cultural Department.

Washington, March 16.--Turther
limitation Of wheat consumption in
the United States is under considera-
ton by the food administration TO-
make certain. that the subnormal
visible supply will tide over the
American people and their allies until
the next harvest.
Plans for accomplishing the addi-
tional savings are being worked out
carefully and the only bar to success
feared by officials is the senseless
|unthinking and selfish people.
The seriousness of the wheat situa-
ton was shown today by depart
ment of agriculture report on the sup
ply in country elevators and mills.
which was supplemented by a frank
admission at the food administration
! that existing -four stocks are only
thirty per cent of the normal quantity
needed until July 1. Food admins
ment's estimate of 18O,000,O00 bushels
4, of wheat in elevators and on farms
March l was optimistic and said their
best information was that 125,00O,OO
bushels was the greatest amount thai
could be expected.
The allies have been promised 90
100000 bushels of grain between
January 1 and July /. There Is nc
intention of failing to carry out this
program which is regarded as thu
most important duty now confronting
the American people. Owing to short.
age of transportation the greater par
of the export program remains to bt
carried out and the wheat must be
obtained from the scant supply in thi!
country by curtailment of individual
consumption. The only alternative
to failure in the opinion Of food ad

American officials and allied dinln-

have believed that some sort of un-
derground feelers have been going out
for some time.
American officials and allied diplo-
mats, while agreeing entirely with
Lord Cecirs statement that no such
terms can be considered, give no evil
dence of how much may be known
here of what Hindenburg refers to as
Germany's peace intentions.
Some of the neutral diplomats,
however, have for some time firmly
believed that Germany would be will
ling even to give up Alsace ce-Lorra1ne
if she were permitted to retain her
hold ON the Baltic provinces and the
mineral belts in the other nearby
sections Of Russia. The general cur
rent, of opinion in diplomatic circles
for some time has been turned toward
the possibility of Germany attempting
to give way in the west and making
up her losses in the east.
The extent to. which the question of
future supplies of iron ore enter into
Germany's peace plans is indicated in
latest advices received here showing
discussion Of the subject in Germany.
These show that Germany knows pro-
duction Of ore within her own borders
is limited by experts to fifty years;
that Sweden, contemplating an iron in
dustry of her own. will require her
own ore and that the supply in Spain
upon which Germany also has drawn
is approaching exhaustion.
/ Consequently German officials con-
a., tend that her supply of ore must log
ically come from the fields of Longwy
and Briey. Inasmuch as the allies are
pledged by repeated declaration to the
! restoration Of France, diplomats see
in proposed permanent acquisition OF
mineral belts in the Russian prov
/ inces. Germany's last hope of re-
naming a military power.

Il have been imagining during the

German emissary might COM, along
and say:
"'Why do we fight? Why cannot
we settle il? We are preparc1 to
como to compromise with you re-
rardine colonies and we are prepercd
to make considerable concessions to
France with reference to Alsace-Lor-
raine.'
THAT would be a cynical peace.
containing the seeds OF future war.
1t would not be a clean peace and it
would not be an honorable peace. 1t
would be the desertion of Russia and
the women of this country must
stand against it like flint.

sooner it comes the better. But let
me say it must be peace consistent
with the ideals for which we entered

|IT HAPPENED in
| DAYS GONE BY
Prices Went up With a
Whizz and Then Came
Down with a Bang. .

Detroit. Mich, March 16.-House
wives who have protested against the
prices they pay for food these days,
may realize some consolation from
the fact that their grandmothers and
their grandmothers' mothers also did
that same thing on more than one
occasion.
Two dollar wheat in Michigan is
not by any means a twentieth cen-
tury innovation. Neither is fifteen
dollar -four. nor is two dollar corn.
A hundred years ago some food stuffs
cost more in Detroit than they do
now; fifty years ago prices also were
meteoric-in fact, every generation
since the dawn Of the nineteenth GEN.
tury has felt the pinch of high prices.
But the result has always been the
ward with whizz and eventually
crashed earthward with bang.
Startling comparisons with present
day prices for food were shown In
the market reports Of June. 1917.
Here are some of the quotations.:
Flour, per barrel, $11 to $12.
Pork, $26 to $40 a barrel.
Wheat, 81 a bushel; corn, 81; oats,
81 per bushel. at .i.
Potatoes. $1.25 a bushel.
>, Butter, 81 cents q pound.
Eggs. 81 cents a dozen.
Much has been written about the
sensational price fluctuations during
the Civil war. For short spaces OF
time during the late sixties prices
! were sky high. a{
In the spring Of 1867 wheat was
quoted at sees. Winter brought war
prices. Coal cost $l3a ton. more
than 1t has cost in Detroit thus far
