 The Nixon will make a summer and winter camp, as it is frozen, and 5 or 4 times deeper than any one thought. There is enough now in sight to make a small camp, but believe me 1t will grow when they get some prospecting boilers in there.

 The boys On Karl creek will have their ground ready to hydraulic the the coming season. The small cut they run last fall averaged sic 10 the square foot, and because their drain was not deep enough they had to leave two feet oi pay under them until they deepen the drain next spring.

January ZO.
 While declining to comment directly upon the statement attributed to Pres ident Wilson to the effect that there will be twice as many American sol diers abroad next June as had been originally planned, Secretary of War Baker said: II cannot discuss tEe num- bers of men in France, or anticipated to be in France at any particular time, but we have made substantial pro- gress.
 The food problem in the Allied c0un- tries is assuming so serious an aspect that the President feels it is necessary to request the American people to practice food conservation on a more extensive plan than formerly. This request will be embodied in White House proclamation to be issued to- nsght.
 The packing interests of the United States were charged today by Francis J. Heney, who is the special counsel for the Federal Trade Commission in- vestigation into the meat-packing in- dustry. with having attempted to bring influence to bear upon the President to have him stop the present lnvesuga- tion.

MUST INCREASE
FOOD EXPORTS
America Called on by End OF
War to Supply Added
Millions.
ECONOMY STILL NEEDED.
over Three Times Pre-War Shipments
Required-situstIon in Wheat and
Fats Proves Governments
Policy Sound.

With the guns in Europe silenced.
we have now to consider a new world
food situation. But there can be no
hope that the volume of our exports
can be lightened to the slightest de
gree with the cessation of hostilities.
Millions of people liberated from the
Prussian yoke are now depending
upon US for the food which will keep
them from starvation.
With food the United States made
it possible for the forces of demOc-
racy to hold out to victory. To insure
democracy in the world, we must con
tinue to live simply in order that we
may supply these liberated nations Of
Europe with food. Hunger among a
people inevitably breeds anarchy.
American food must complete the work
Of making the world safe for democ-
racy.
Last year we sent 11.S20.O00 tons Of
food to Europe. For the present year.
with only the European Allies to feed,
we had originally pledged ourselves 10
a program that would have increased
our exports 10 17,5OO,OO0 tons. Now,
to feed the liberated nations, we will
have 20 export a total of not less than
20.O00,000 toas-practically the limit
Of loading capacity at our ports. Re
viewing the world food situation, we
find that some foods will be obtainable
in quantities sufficient to meet all
world needs under a regime of eco
nomical consumption. On the other
hand, there viii be marked world
shortages in some important commodi-
ties.
Return to Normal Bread Loaf.
With the enlarged wheat crops
which American farmers have grown,
and the supplies of Australia, the Ar
gentine and other markets now acces-
sible to shipping, there are bread
grains enough to enable the nations to
return to their normal wheat loaf,
provided we continue TO mill -four at
high percentage of extraction and
maintain economy in eating and the
avoidance Of waste.
In fats there will be a heavy short
age - about 3,OOO,OOO,OOO pounds - in
pork products, dairy products and
vegetable oils. While there win be a
shortage of about three million tons
in rich protein feeds for dairy ami,
mails, there will be sufficient supplies
of other feedstuffs to allow economical
consumption.
In the matter of beef, the worlds
supplies are limited to the capacity OF
the available refrigerating ships. The
supplies of beef in Australia, the AR
| gentine and the United States are spf
| ficient TO load these ships. There viii
be a shortage in the importing coun
| tries, but we cannot hope to eXpanC
exports materially for the next months
in view of the bottle neck in trans
portation.
We will have a sufficient supply OF
sugar to allow normal consumption II
this country If the other nations re
tain their present short rations or in
crease them only slightly. For thu
countries of Europe, however, to in
crease their present rations TO a ma
terial extent will necessltate our shar
ing part of our own supplies witt
them.

FROZEN FISH DELICIOUS.

There are excellent reasons why
frozen fish should be generally used
wherever they can be kept frozen
until used. In this process of pres
ervation the fish, fresh from the sea,
is frozen and then dipped in clean
water, which forms an alright
coating of ice from head to tail. In
this sanitary envelope the fish is put
in cold storage. In cold weather the
housewife can buy such fish and keep
a supply on hand for weeks or
months if the temperature is below
freezing.
Varieties that are usually frozen
are plentiful and can be sold for a
relatively low price. The consumer
should increase his vocabulary Of
names to include more than the
half-dozen varieties that he now
knows. He will earn a high price
per word and will get acquainted
with some of the most delicious food
that comes from the sea.-Westerly
(Mass.) Sun.

EXPLOIT OF CAPTAIN BALL

Some of the exploits Of the lstf
Captain Ball, V. c., were of an a.
tounding nature. He was only nine.
teen when he was killed, and foI
long held the record among British
aviators, having ~downed' 43 Bocht
machines.
On one occasion he had gone some
twenty miles across the enemy
lines, when he encountered two Of
their machines. Without hesitation
he attacked them and fought them
until his ammunition had run out
The two enemy planes had appar.
emily had enough and seized this op-
portunity to escape by diving down
to the ground.
Ball was much disguised at this
and emptied six rounds from his re
volver at the two diving airplanes
He then seized a piece of paper anC
a pencil which he had with him anC
wrote out challenge for the same
svo machines to meet him at th'
same spot the next day.

COAL USED IN UNITED STATES

During the last year the steel in
justry has used 100000 tons Of
coal more than the previous year;
our cotton mills, 100000 tons; our
railroads, 100000 louisville
other industries bring the increase
up to 100000 tons. A single
new munitions plant alone takes the
entire output of two large mines.
The coal that is wasted in improper
firing and other causes is the most
important consideration. The damp
er in the stove, furnace or heater
can help win the war; a door in
your ashpit which leaks air, and SCOT
in fues, pipes and chimney are all
aiding the enemy. Weather strips,
storm sash, ash sifters, careful fir
ing, a curtailment of coal fuel just
as much as possible, are all instru-
meuts Of first aid to the great cause.
The coal wasted in this country in
the course of a year is said to amount
to GOO,OOO,OOO tons.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
Zee Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale Of the Allied ar
mics and the civil pOpulace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rffce will depend EurOpe's fate in the
months to come In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude Of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
he almost doubled. Instead Of 11-S2O,-
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America. It would have been impOs-
sihIe for them 10 maintain their de.
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have conclusfvely proved that demOc-
racy is a success anO that in time OF
need II will rise to its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment 10 its credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence Of the Food Administration
in the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
"AIany thinking Americans" said
Mr. Hoover. "anG the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autOcradc Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability 10
mobilize. organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiratiOn aside from the remarkable
asserabIage Of our Army and finances.
The history Of the Food Adminlstra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ,
racy has not been misplaced.
