WAR SERVICE OF SCOUTS

Under this slogan, "Every Scout to

America conducted vigorous nation

thousands of gardens, adding substan-
TALLY to the food conservation Of the

Under the slogan, "Every Scout to

The contribution made BY the pro-
duvers Of this country to the war pro.
gram as applying particularly to AMI
NAL food products IL illustrated by the
following: ;
Reports complied by the q. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture Indicate an
increase In cattle of l0,23SO0O head
and 12.441. 900 hogs. These figures
were complied to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep Of $4,000 head. The indIca-
tions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January unofiicial Informs
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not ieSy than 8 per cent. and not
moro than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the O. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing In tile
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,6OO.-
100000 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an.
.i,nal food products would have been
impossible.

SUGAR SHOWED

American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion's War Conscience.
STAND WITH the ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Avsrtsd
Famine 4 Home In spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves cOnclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injuncti0ns Of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the fOur-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach It's height. consumption
was reduced to 100000 TONS In Au.
gust only 325.OOO tons went into dis.
tribution and In September only 270,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II. the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes Of sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
B reduce. consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth 80 pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
tiOn Of sugar. BY It we have been, able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops Wire In sight.
Now the nation is in a position 20
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to 60
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted ratiOns. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with then,
through limiting our own consump.
ton.

Oct. 20, 1918.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Drayton,
Linton, NJ. d.
Dear Friends:
Your letter with snapshots and
newspaper came with a welcome
cheer, and am glad to know that my
brief notes are gladly received. I
cannot write as you would have me
for SO much is being written now
about France and the ''boys" that my
poor pencil is inadequate to compete
with such illustrous scribes. Scribes,
who have the opportunity to travel
and see so much, while poor old
soldier like me-who has been no.
where for months-cannot get around
much; each duty is repetition of
the proceeding one and steady
grind. My tales are SO dull besides
those that I read, that I do not con-
slider them worth the telling. What
is the loss Of few rounds of sleep
when others go for days without any?
Why speak about meagre rations
when some go without any? Why
tell of the loss of friend when whole
divisions are almost wiped out? The
end draws near, and victory is as
sured; but the cost, it is possible
to comprehend by people so far.away.
The vast bloody tale will never be
told in it's complement. These
women and children suffer in silence,
dry-eyed. It's fierce, it's He'll, and
the shadows of it all will envelope
the generations unborn.
Why write of horror in single in
stances, when it is universal and of
the blood stencil of the wounded that
stays in the nostrils and sticks. Don't
ask me to explain, don't ever expect
me to, for some things are better not
told. One can tell train of wound
ed by smell.
My personal tales may never be
told for this old (heart) of mine is
almost ready for the junk. pile, for it
troubles me very much of late and
maybe it's going to quit me any time.
Best wishes to everybody and tell
Isabelle that appreciate hsr letter
very much, and send her an ocean
of love with kiss on every wave.
Sincerely,
CHARLIE.
