NEW lOkh, Aprn 20.
The time has come, the Walrus said,
To speak OF things we fiout-
OF Kaisers, frankfurters and slch.
Including sauerkraut.
Sauerkraut manufacturers In this city
have appealed to Uncle Sam, through
the agency OF the Federal rood Board,
10 do something. anything, everything
in its Hooverlan power to prevent the
popular wrath AGAINST the Kaiser. Kul-
tur and Kabbage from driving sauer-
kraut on the American dinner table.
They think thst n the name OF s8uer-
braut is changed to Liberty cabbage
Americans might to induced to buy 70
more eagerly than they are doing now.
and this sugge tion will be officially
presented in due time Blt the big
argument to be made is that It is un-
American TO waste any kind OF fool
stuffs at this time and therefore the
Food Administration should put lis o.
X on new slogan: Eat Liberty Cab
bage."
Since the United States entered the
war the consumption Of sauerkraut In
this country has fallen or fully Is per
cent and the manufacturers and dealers
find themselves in a pretty pickle with
enormous stocks OF sauerkraut on their
hands, which they say they are not
able to market

The Trade at Home Club.

'T used to buy a lot of goods out
of town" said Mrs. Buyaway to loyal
Trade at Homer the other day. "But
am convinced that you don't get
good service in most of those big city
stores. You go in there wanting some
advice about buying goods, but the
clerks do not seem an intelligent type
of person. They say they don't pay
any decent salaries"
"These girls do not seem to have
their minds on their work. They just
want to bluff through, get their pay
and get out. By the looks of them,
I think their minds are mostly on
chasing the men. You can't get their
attention and they can't give you any
intelligent opinion about their line OF
goods.
"They are very different looking
sort of people from the clerks in the
stores in Grand Rapids, who are ou1
own young people, ambitious to make
good trying to learn all they can abou
business, and eager to help you al
they can I am going to trade a
home from now on"

The Bank that does things for YOU
National Efficiency

Gerany has won her success so fan
on her unity of sentiment In this
country, Immediately an effort was
made to speed up industrial production
it ran up against class feeling. So
much bitter hostility has existed be-
tween employer and employd, that
millions of people are more Interested
IN fighting class war than anything
else. When any proposition necessary
to winning the war was put up to them
they Immediately suspected that some
one was trying to put something over
on them for personal aims
Our war work was held UP for
months while we tried to settle labor
difficulties, in which both parties were
more or less to blame To accomplish
ends worthy Of national efficiency we
have got to get closer together and
work more for common ends.
You can't fight a war if a lot of
our people hate their fellow citizens
worse than they hate the Kaiser.
Fortunately truce for the period of
the war seems to have been patched
up between capital and labor. But
the old hostility is there. 1t has got
to be removed if we are to accomplish
things.
SO the problem of National Efficien-
cy comes down right here in Grand
RAPIDS to a mans own heart and
knowledge and life.

Monday, without results. The pres

SCARCITY OF LIVE STOCK.

For some time now 1t has been appar- ent to those who have given the matter thought, that the country Is threatened with an alarming shortage in live stock especially meat producing animals, though horses and mules are also showing a shortage.
 When the war in Europe first began, it was suggested by our agricultural depart ment that our farmers and stock raisers devote greater attention to increasing the number of meat animals It was pointed out that the large foreign demand would make great inroads in our supply. This was the result but not all the result. The stimulated demand caused prices to soar to abnormal figures. These prices in turn caused all who had stock to push them onto the market at the earliest mo- ment, with the result that thousands of head of stock went to the butchers when 1t should have been kept on the farms.
 Stock buyers inform us that for the past year the average weight of hogs es- pecialy has steadily declined, due to the fact that the heavy feeders have been practically exhausted and the lighter ami mals are being pushed onto the market
 At a meeting of food administrators of a number of states recently 1t was the unanimous decision, after surveying the situation carefully, that concerted eff fort must be made to increase the breed ing of hogs and cattle, and each state rep resented in the conference was given it's per cent of increase to be attained
 But it is right at this point that the diff ficuly is encountered. The high prices have not only caused the immature ani- mals to be sacrificed but thousands of val uable females have also been slaughter ed which should have been kept on the farms. There is not q particle of doubt that the country is alarmingIN short of breeders
 There Is only one remedy. No owner of hogs or cattle should sell or kill females capable of reproducing their kind This should be made an iron-clad rule on the farms and ranches of this country for some time to come. Certain it is that if the past, or even the present rate of con- sumption of females is continued for an- other twelve months, the country will face something little short of a meat famine
 We are meat-eating race But meat must be grown, and the animals must have dams The only way to insure the supply IS to conserve the females. This Will have to be done, even at the risk of ev- en higher prices than now prevail
 And, as prices now range, this will be no sacrifice to the farmers, but rather a source of greater revenue, as all will see Ii they will look at the matter in the right light
 Even if the worm does turn what does i, onefit him?
