A food map Of Europe today shows
not single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat OF serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception OF the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
In the large centers OF population.
Belgium and northern France, as
we'll as Serbia. appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest Of Europe
because they stand ib a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
af,er-thc-war needs which with those
OF Serbia. must be included In this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have Immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgium nation
for the help America las extended 10
her during the war constitutes The
strongest appeal for MS to continue our
work there. The moment the Germa n
armies withdrew from her soil and she

II we fail to tighten the black spots

ESTRAY DAY WAS USUAL
SUCCESS LAST SATURDAY

Last Saturday being estray day,
there was a larger number of ranchers
in town than usual. Cattle were brot
in in very small bunches-only two or
three together, and duly examined for
brands. Out of the whole bunch,
which was estimated al about fifty or
sixty head, there were six head with
out brands. These will be advertised
and sold in the usual way The plan,
which has been worked out for many
years, is a great help to the stockmen
as a clearing house for the strays
which inevitably get away from one
range to another during the long sum
mer. Albert Hildcbrand. state brand
inspector, was in charge OF the redis-
tnbution Of strays. Some valley rid
"rs took hOm" more than they brot and
others returned empty handed.
