WE SHOULD GIVE TO LIMIT.
Because Our Fighters Have Given Up All
To Make World Safe.

As our fighters have given up all to
make the world safe for us, so should we
give to the limit to help them win the
war.
I'm his little book, Out to VIM which
every American ought to read, Coningsby
Dawson makes this statement:
"'ln all belligerent countries there are
two armies fighting the military and
the civilian. Either can let the other
down, Ii the civilian army loses its
morale, its vision les usefulness, it as
surc.v betrays its soldiers as if it Joined
forces with the Huns
"As members of the great civilian
army of the United States we are asked
to show our loyalty by giving to the
United War Work campaign. What we
do will be known to our boys over there
what we give viii either hearten or dis.
courage them.
Let us give, therefore, as nobly as
they have fought. They have offered all
we must offer what we can. Victory al
ready is in sight We must hel p to
make that victory complete"

limit was the general verdict. Stan
ley was made to pay his bet, and he
did it gracefully. He drew Merrie
aside and whispered: Dear child, you
have a strange talent for extracting
both money and hearts out of the men

On the night of the play the town
hall was crowded. Judge Graham, who
was never known to attend any so
cial affair." occupied front seat. The
new red curtains hung gracefully and
were the cause Of many comments
from the audience. The play was a
complete success, and the Red Cross
was richer by several hundred dollars
than before. On the way home Stan
ley asked Merrie the question, old yet
ever new, and received very satisfac-
tory answer. The first to SPY the
ring on her left hand was old Judge
Graham, now frequent visitor at the
Crayton home. To her he contided
'Merrie, my dear child, If / were
Younger, / think IM marry you my
selfr' "Oh, no. you wouldn't" Merrie
laughed. 1T would be too disastrous
for your pocketbook." The judges
pocketbook was not so fat now, be-
cause more than once Merrie had
made raids on it, and found the Judge
more easily managed than the first
time she had hypnotized him.

Louisville, KY, Nov. after eigh-
teen months of extreme uncertainty in
the whiskey market, the price Of bonded
goods to-day in Kentucky, the largest
straight whiskey producing state in
America, is % cents to Sl.l5 gallon.
The imminence of complete prohibit
ton, coupled with the belief that higher
taxes may cause q marked decease in
consumption, is expected by large oper-
ators to keep prices at a low level. A
few dealers, however, believe the ap.
preach of prohibition will stimulate de-
mand and bring higher prices.

year and half ago many of them would
have been bankrupt had they been forced
to liquidate their holdings. Then. prices

AUSTRALIA ENTERS
BUSINESS DIPLOMACY
An Envoy Has Come from the Island
Country to the United States for
the First Time to Cement
Commercial Relations.
Commercial Relations.

New York, Nov. Australia has en-
tered the field of business diplomacy.
From the island continent at the bottom
Of the world has come for the first time
in history an envoy to the United States,
to work for the strengthening of the
commercial, financial and political good
win prevailing between the two coun-
tries
Under a policy similar to that devel.
oped by the American government in
ante-bellum days termed in a apt
phrase dollar diplomacy the Austral-
ian commonwealth has given official sup
port to the ambitions Of its agricultural,
industrial and mercantile interests for
international trade expansion.
Recent arrival here of an Australian
commissioner has called attention to a
new department in governmental action
within the British empire. The mother
country hitherto has directed her inter
national relations and those of her colo
MES from London Yet Australia's ven
tre has been approved by the British
government and Henry Y. Braddon, ap.
pointed to the newly created office, is
vested with full authority to lay the
foundations for great Australian
American trade after the war and to ne
gotiate for an interchange of credits to
finance it and shipping to carry it.
Because his mission is one of business
rather than diplomacy, Mr. Braddon has
established headquarters in this city, the
nations financial and commercial CAPT
tai. He frankly predicts that Australia
with 10000 of her sons killed in battle
and 100000 others on the casualty lists,
will want no dealings with Germany
His chief job, then as he sees it, is to
encourage America to take Germany's
place as the principal buyer of Austral
ian primary produets--wool, -gheat and
meat and as the leading source of sup
ply of manufactured articles imported
by the commonwealth.
incidentally, he hopes to hasten de-
livery from Pacific coast shipyards of
fourteen cargo vessels ordered by his
government, and which will form the
nucleus of the Australian American car
rying trade.
Owing tosAis overwhelming interest in
the war-he has three sons with his
country's 100000 men in the British
army Mr.. Braddon would have found it
difficult, he declared on arriving here,
to devote himself to a peace time project
but for his firm belief that much mu-
tual good can come of better acquaint-
anee between Australia and 'rthe states"
as America is universally known in the
antipodes With this object in view, he
announced, plan to set up as a branch
Of his commission a bureau to furnish
the American press with the high

"watch the Weather Forecast"

Shippers of food and other products IL
able to injury from freezing are urged to
watch the daily forecasts, issued by
weather bureau station during the winter
in cities and towns of considerable size,
Of minimum temperatures expected to
occur within a shipping radius of one
day or two days of the station. These
forecasts may be had by telephoning or
telegraphing the weather bureau office,
or arrangements may be made in ad-
vance to have them sent as desired. When
freezing temperatures are forecast, ship
ments may be given adequate protection
or delayed until conditions, change, or if
they are en- route orders may be tele-
graphed to have them placed in shelter
Experience of large produce shipping firms,
as given in their voluntary testimony, is
that as a result of careful attention to
these forecasts their losses from freezing
of goods in transit have been negligible.
The Importance of this service is thought
to be especially great during the war,
with its food necessity.

ALLIES WERE FED.
BY OUR SAVINGS.
During the Past Year the
United States Shipped 141,-
100000 Bushels of Wheat
AND 844, 100000
POUNDS OF MEAT
Food Administrator Hoover
Reports the Results to
Pres. Wilson

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoplesl
and to our own forces overseas H1,-
100000 bushels of wheat and 844, 600
600 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued In all at S1.400,000,000.
This was accomplished In the face Of
serious food shortage in this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American,
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrators Hoover, In let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up Of the millions OF bushels of wheat
during 1917-1S and the shipment OF
meat during 1918.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations an Iunted
to 81, 400,000,o00, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1915
The shipments of meats and fats
(lncludlng meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc.,) to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:

OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1918 to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131, 900 600 bushels and of rye
f3,900,000 bushels, a total of 144,o00-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1851 were
Wheat 135,100,0C0 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, total OF 1877, 100000
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels Of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest OF
wheat win be therefore, about 141 ,000-
600 bushels, or total OF 154, 100000
bushels OF prime breadstuffs. In adj
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
"This Accomplishment OF our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly II we bear in mind that we had
available in the fiscal year 1851
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200 100000 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. "This last year, however,
owing to the large failure OF the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread,
"These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume OF the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri.
cultural population in planting a much
Increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there very large failure in wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
erly, and our corn is our dominant crop.
II am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote In
concluding his report, that all the

well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel very
definite satisfaction that in a year of

Joined together against Germany have
come through into sight of the coming

strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods of hardship.
"It is difficult to distinguish between
various sections Of our people-the
homes, public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural popula-
tions--in assessing credit for these re-
suits, but no one will deny the domi-
nant part of the American women"

Our sIaughterable animals at the be-
ginning Of the last fiscal year were not
appreclably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs they
were probably less. The Increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added BY
our farmers.
The full effect OF these efforts began

ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
