FOOD SUPPLY OF FRANCE
AND NEUTRAL COUNTRIES
ON THE DECLINE

According to the Food Administra-
ton; shortage of wheat in France is
becoming more and more alarming
each week. The minister of general
revictualing indicated recently that
further reduction Of 20 per cent in
the bread ration would soon become
imperative.
Denmark is now looking forward to
reduction of wheat Tations. Final
figures for the cereal harvest show
total of about 62,000,000 bushels,
which is 20,000,000 bushels less than
in 1916 and about 100000 less than
was estimated in the summer, when
the populace was put on bread rations.
The authorities are already consider
ing further reduction in the allowed
consumption.
The food situation in Switzerland
is rapidly falling to the danger line.
A ration that is far below the con-
sumption in many Of the countries at
war has already been ordered. I'm
der the new regulations the Swiss
may have only pound and a half of
sugar per person per month. The
bread ration has been fixed at about
half pound day, and the butter ra-
ton at one-fifth Of pound a month

A PROTEST

At a regular meeting of the Minis
terial Alliance of Pennington, held at
the home of o. H. L. Cunningham
on Tuesday, Jan. Is, 1918, with the
following members present, R. S.
Boyd, J. M. Bailey, o. H. L. Cunning
ham, 0. H. Duggins, H. A. Mitchell,
H. P. Grove, A. C. Jones, E. o. Suth-
erland, motion was made that the
secretary write and publish our pro-
test to the coming dance to be given
in behalf Of the Red Cross. Our
State and National officers have asked
.thatqthe Red Cross work be not sup
ported in such way. This splendid
work has, and will, require the unit
ed support of all loyal people, and we
feel that to make it the camouaage
of common dance will prevent many
loyal people from giving it their full
support. The ministers of Farming
ton have been, and desire to continue
its warm friends, but we cannot give
our consent to its being thus prosti-
tuted. We therefore ask all good peo-
pie of the city to join with us in this
protest.
J. M. BAILEY, Sec'y.

UNTIMELY DEATH

Our little city was deeply grieved
when on Wednesday morning it was
told that Emma ", daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Hough, had passed in
to rest. Emma V. had been a suffer-
er for several months, and the public
and her friends had been expecting
the end, but it come with no less sad
ness because of it's expectancy. She
bore her suffering patiently, as be-
comes one whose faith is grounded in
Christ.
Emma V. was born Oct. IL, 1899,
and was in her nineteenth year. She
was a member of the Senior High
School Glass, and was favorite with
her classmates. She gave her heart
to Christ and was "buried with Christ
to rise to walk in that newness of
life," which should characterize every
child of God. Hers was a sweet, ten
der and trusting life, full of love for
her family, friends and neighbors.
Her class in school, her Bible school
and church, but most of all her fam
lily, will miss her.
She leaves a father, mother, five
sisters, three brothers, and host of
friends to mourn their loss. Farewell
Emma v. You cannot come to us,
but we can come to you.
Funeral will be held today from the
Christian church. 1nterment will be
in the X. Of P. cemetery.
J. M. BAILEY.

SUFFRAGISTS KNIT

Knit, you suffragists, knit,
You've got to do your bit,
You can knit socks
At the ballot-box,
So knit, you suffragists, knit.
The country needs your aid.
When everything's done and said
You must help to make laws
For Democracy's cause,
So have your plans well laid.
Don't try to hedge or shirk,
Go straight to your country's work,
Be it making a law,
Or harvesting straw,
No excuse in sex can Turk.

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one Of the standard crops found in al
most every garden. The usual plan In
the home garden Is to plant sets In
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than 2 or 3
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frosts are over. Some kinds may
be planted in the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and will produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed ell
Their by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling in rows directly in the
garden. With good soil and proper
care it is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed in single sea-
son.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivation, and it may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If it is desired to use the onions as
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
1ty. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed,
or the seed will be formed at the ex-
pense of the bulbs.-U. S. Department
Of Agriculture.

that the former partners occupy adjoin-
