The New Slogan-"I Will do my Best

Thanks to the suggestion OF M
r. Kays, a member of the Lincoln
county council of defense, Idaho has
a substitute and more appropriate
slogan for that of Il VIII DO MY
Bit" 1t is 81 Will Do My Best
ain INV opinion." writes Mr.. Rays,
"the common expression doing MY
Bit" is not altogether satisfying
under the circumstances. 1t Is so
generally conceded that speedy
termination of the war depends up
on the utmost effort on the part OF
everyone concerned that better ex-
preston would be, Doing My Best.
II seems to me that more clearly ex-
presses what everyone is expected to
do. Knowing that people in gener-
al rarely do voluntarily all that
they should do, possibly because in
many cases they do not fully appre-
ciate their responsibility, | should
think it would be better to adopt and
keep before them this slogan, The
1918 resolution of every true Ameri-
can should be, | Will Do My Best.
Unuuestionably the slogan suggested
by Mr. Rays is in many respects
more appropriate than the other and
should be adopted generally over the
State.

NEED BIC HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their focks and
herds In order to meet Europs's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In In
creasing the nations supply Of live
stock.
Germany today Ia probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
or European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then rstreated viz
tually all the cattle In the invaded
territory approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But In Hngland--where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields--the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English an follows; For September,
S17.76 per 100 pounds October, S17.28;
November and December, $180S; Jam
larry, g14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket az soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle 40
well an the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,80T 900 head of
cattle In 1918, she now has only H.
841.900, a decrease Of 1873 per cent
And France 10 today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack Of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food ADJ
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misundsr-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t Ia true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t 10 poorer
bread, and the British government Ia
paying $500, ZOO, 600 a year toward the
cost of It
ALI the grain grown In Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Ia
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at o cents and the one pound loaf at Q
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.
