as result Of the conservation efforts
Of the American people. For 1918
the shipments OF meats we're S44.60O,-

brought about by conservation and ex.

For the last fiscal year 131 million
bushels Of wheat were sent and 13r
100000 bushels Of rye. Ten million
bushels Of wheat, It 10 estimated, are
now in port destined for Europe Or en-
route, making the total Of 1917 wheat
shipped about 141 million bushels. or

Of wheat were sent to neutrals.

In and tried to cheer him by talking to
him:
Never mind them guns, boy, they

With this, the sentry resumed the
pacing of his post. In about ten min
utes' time he was relieved. and d
company man took his place.
Looking into the guardhouse, the
sentry noticed the covering attitude of
