PLOT IS WORK OF CRANK

The Juneau Empire of Jan. 22S prints a cable message from Wash ington stating that the plot to blow up every shipping concern and Am 'rican vessel in every harbor was investigated and discredited by government agents. Officials say the report was circulated thru out the country by an irresponsible crank.

It is about IS inches long, with eight feelels protruding out from the head, some of the feelers being holned with row of small warts or teeth, and with & tail shaped like a propeller. Uglt- ness personified is probably a bet ter decription of the beast.

Henry J. Allen will be the next
Governor of Kansas, according to the
Kansas City Star, and we suppose he
will. Kansas usually takes her politi-
cal dope from the Star and although
it seems incredible that any state
would elect for governor the author
OF the mass of fol-de-rol that has re-
Gently appeared under Aliens name,
Kansas will probably do it. There IS
no intention to find fault with Kan
sas in her choice of Governors,-God
knows she is more to be pitied than
censured-but her neighbors hope
that some day her people will awake
to realization of the vase differ
ence between statesman and a DEM
agogue.

awful moan over the bin, which is
now in Congress to provide for the
issuance OF tobacco as a part OF the

pass. W lille 1t is impractical for the

furnished them, and those who are
in position to know are unanimous

his life in his country's services and

tim of Foul Play

BARTON, April 22.-Mrs. Ben F.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general idea of the quantity OF
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July /, 1914, to
January l, 1918, is given by figures
Just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year.
~ rations for 57,lO0933 people. in
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for 22,194,570 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4 100000 bushels.
Pork exports for the 31a years amount
ed to almost 2,OOO,OO0,OOO pounds. Ex-
ports of fresh beef totaled 443, 4S4, 400
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

10 erect the needed saving OF wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
l. Householders TO use not to exceed
a total of IL pounds per week of
wheat products per person. This
means not more than "a pounds of
victory bread containing the required
percentage of substitutes and one-half
pound of cooking -four macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present.
In addition thereto not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macaroni
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces of wheat
-four No wheat products TO be served
unless specially ordered, Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds of wheat products for
eacn ninety meals SeFNeu, lnuS con-
forming with the limitations requested
of the househoders.
g. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth Of barrel Of flour TO any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-quarter Of a barrel
to any country customer at any one
time, and in no case to sell wheat
products without the sale of an equal
weight of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers tc
! reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold, by delivery of the three-quartei
j pound loaf where one pound was solo
! before, and corresponding proportion:
/ in other weights. We also ask baker!
not to increase the amount of their
wheat flour purchases beyond 20 PEE

cent. Of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March l.
8. Manufacturers using wheat prod
| ucts for non-food purposes should
| cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, fiours, and meals, corn,
| barley, buckWheat, potato -four, ct
cetera
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
ton. There is no reason why all OF
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly well with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds q week. and we specially
ask the well-to-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that We may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts of the community less able
to adapt themselves TO SO large a pro-
portion of substitutes
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
solutely demanded of US to maintain
the civil population and soldiers Of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ton of the public by a further limita-
ton of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
, which will be. adjusted from time to
| time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tributioE as possible. With the arrival
! of harvest we should be able to relax
5 such restrictions. Until then we ash

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iSo-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 1OO,OOO,00O bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0,000,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,O00,000 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India. at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,O00,O0O to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid.
ing our stock with the Allies.

misofortunes that opened for these
men the opportunity to secure the edu,

The Red Cross sends out a strong
warning against mistaken kindness to-
ward the MANNED men who are even
now returning. If, it says, the public
insists on making lions of these men,
1t will end by making them babies II
employers hunt through their plants

jobs that mean little more than hold
ing down stools and reminiscing about
their daring deeds, then indeed we
shall complete the work Of destruction
for them, manning minds as well as
bodies.
We, the American people, are going
to be asked TO spend more time, more
money and energy keeping these men
in the game than IL would cost to
merely support and amuse them and
special harnesses, actually and meta.
phorically, and then have patience
while they are getting adjusted to 1t.
And we must see that they have their
chances at suitable employments.
But these men are going to have
something more than just marvellous
appliances that will enable them to do
almost any kind of work. These men,
tremendous sacrifices won't be paid
back by letting them In on life's work,
but not its social game. So they are
going to have Sunday arms and legs
