AMERICAN ECONOMY
BOON TO THE ALLIES
Saving and Use Of Substitutes
Releases 132,58O,OOO
Bushels of Wheat.
HOG PRODUCTS LARGE
1868, 100000 Pounds Shipped
Abroad in Last Year, New
High Record. J

The Governments statement OF the ex-
ports for the last year brings out very
forcbly what the United States has done
IN the way Of supplying the Allies and
the needy neutrals with foodstuffs. The
report on grain is not complete. as the
figures on barley should includsteonsid.
cradle barley flour shipped this year. In
corn meal there have been about two
million barrels shipped in addition to the
corn There has been an enormous
amount OF oatmeal shipped the Govern
ment figures showing a total of nearly
$4,000, 900 pounds. while there has been
n considerable amount of rye flour
shipped. The preliminary report Of the
Government for the year shows only the
shipments of wheat -four. In addition to
the wheat -four reported 1t is believed
that there have been considerable addi-
tlonal amounts sent out which do not
appear In the figures. The total figures.
on their face OF 132,5s0,00 bushels in
Guiding wheat and -four, Is the total
shipped during the year out of a crop
which was, at the best, barely sufficient
10 60 around. and represents the total
savines during the year.
This total saving OF 100000 BUSH
els is the result Of the economies which
have been practised and the use of sub
stitutes, and directly shows how much
the American people have taken to heart
the requests of the Allies for food.
In regard to the shipments of pro-
visions the total is also very impressive
The shipments of beef for the year far
exceed those Of the preceding year, while
the exports Of pork and pork products
exceed all previous records. The ship
ments of pork, ham and bacon for the
year amount to 1898, 900 900 pounds, a
new high record in shipments of hog
products. Largest previous shipments
Of provisions in any calendar year were
e97.000,000 pounds in 1916. In 1917
the exports were 916.0o0.O0o pounds
For the years just prior to the war the
exports ranged from 305 900. 900 pounds
low 10 446,000,000 pounds high for n
number of years. The exports OF lard
have not been as large relatively as
the exports Of meats, due to the great
scarcity OF fats in this country. The
exports of lard for the year were 392,-
100000 pounds, against 445, 00O. 900 the
preceding year. In comparison with
calendar years the exports of lard just
before the war ranged from 36S. 000. 00G
pounds low to 575.000.000 pounds high.
The greatest exports OF lard on record
were in the calendar year 1898. when
the shipments were 10000. 900 pounds
The following table shows what Amer
lea has done in the way Of exports to
allies and neutrals for the year ended

rough; if there is not enough powder,
the result is a sickly green. 1t may
be said, also, that brick of maple
sugar is ten times harder TO paint
than anything else in the world.
At the'end of an hour Mr.. Bunker
had one side (the top side) painted,
and he rose and looked at it with a
sigh. It was far from perfect. He
saw that he would have to give it a
going-over coat and then rub it down
IN some way to give it more of a
polish. There were spots where the
gold paint had already sunk out of
sight, leaving nothing but tinge of
green on the light brown surface of
the brick. Ordinarily gold bronze in
banana oil dries instantly, but ordi-
narily it is not used on maple sugar
The top of the brick was as soft and
sticky as pan of fudge that has re-
fused to fudge, or lollypop~ left in
the grass through dewey night. 1t
was the stickiest gold brick the
world has ever known up to that day
and date.
With equal care Mr.. Bunker began
to paint one end of the brick. Long

THE GOLD BRICK--By ELLIS PARKER BUTLER

Those who have tried to apply
gold bronze to a spongy surface such

difficulty under which Mr.. Bunker

bronze used in medium of banana
oil is one of the most difficult paint

said that it is practically impossible
to use it properly at all. Banana oil
