WHAT SAVING DID

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that It was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton OF staple necessities. but that u
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease In the use of
luxuries The doubters took sugar ar
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to point
that would meet only the food needs
OF the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be llghtened. European ma
tions Will be able to go farther afeld
for foodstufs. and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now In prospect, we VIII have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption II the
present short rntioDs In Europe are
not materially increased. II the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially In
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to q greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration Is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
vatiOn allowed the Food Admlnlstra-
ton to build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period Of scarcity. until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane AMI
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that In July. August, Sep
tember and October DOS. 600 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows definite. concrete saving Of
over 100000 tons These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table. In
the kitchen and In the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that In
the homes and public eating places of
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar cOnsump-
tion has been reduced BY more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July. this country normally
uses 100000 tons OF sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,O0O
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed 279.OOO tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons In October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

LEE IN HoNoRED BRIGADE

Among the citations recently is the
Fourth American brigade under Brig
adler General Harbord. The brigade
comprises the Fifth regiment of Ma
rines under Col. (now Brig. Gen.
Wendell C. Neville; the Sixth marines
under Col. (now Brig. GEM Albertus
A. Catlin. and the Sixth machine gun
battalion under Maj. e. B. Cole.
Clyde H. Lee, of Ordway. son of
Mrs. d. P. Hersperger, is a mex ber

The citation says the brigade, in
full battle array, was thrown in on a
front which the enemy was attacking
violently and at once proved itself a
unit of the finest quality. 1t crushed
the enemy attack on an important
point of the position and then under
took series of offensive operations.

RED CROSS NOTES

The war 10 over but the devasta-
tion. misery and deprivation caused
by the war still prevails in large
sections OF Europe.
Urgent calls have been received
for clothing for the civilian popula-
ton of these stricken countries. The
garments that we can send to the
other side by Feb. 1, may be the
means of saving many lives. Gar
ments which cannot be sent by that
time will arrive too late to help out
this winter.
The local Red Cross chapter has
an allotment of 700 of these refuge
garments which must be completed
by Feb. L. This is large order
the largest we have had-and can be
accomplished only by the united eff
fort of every patriotic woman in
Crowley county.
These garments are much easier to
make than pajamas, and the work
may be taken home.
12O suits of pajamas have been
shipped to Denver and the rest of
the allotment must be sent in at once
so all persons who have pajamas out
are asked to finish them and turn
them in Immediately.
1t is going - be cold in Europe
this winter. Our soldiers are still
over there and they will need socks.
Are you knitting your share of the
$50 pairs allotted to this chapter?

FROM GEORGE WORKER
FRANCE

Extracts from several letters from
George Worker, one of the Ordway
boys in France, follow, but from the
way he starts one of his letters one
would take it that there might not
be q whole lot to tell for he speaks
of It as this god-forsaken country"
He says:
"I sent a picture In one of my other
letters but you may not have received
it. II these French girls get hold
of a picture 1t is a goner, for they are
sure crazy about American soldiers,
or their money, I don't know which
1t is, but 1 think 1t is the money, for
they all say, Americans have lots of
money
'I received the papers that you
sent me and l have read them from
one end to the other. and / think
will lay them away for couple of
weeks and then read them again. ="
This shows how eager the boys are
to get the news from home.
"If I don't see any more of the
war than I have already seen l am
afraid I will not see much of 1t. l
would like to go up closer to the
front, but l have not got the say-so.
I think l will get a furlough and
will go to Paris once for luck.
sometimes we think the war won't
last long and again we think the
other way about it, but here's hoping
that 1t will end before long. There
is one thing sure no one wants to go
home until 1t is settled over her, at
least I don't want to.
81 am still cooking and for some
reason or another 1t seems to agree
with me for am heavier than
ever was. go down to the town and
buy vegetables every Saturday morn
ing. Vegetables are some higher here
than they are in the States. A small
head of cabbage is 10c. Turnips
and carrots sell by the bunch. five
or six in bunch for &c. Grapes are
nice, mostly all white variety, but
the biggest joke of all are the ba-
nanas; little dried-up things. You
could not give such as these away in
the States, but they have the nerve
to ask 12c apiece here"
In one of Georges letters he says:
"You asked me If I needed any mo-
ney, but I hardly think 80 when I
am going to send 500 home tomor-
row." and he states that when he
first landed, money went easy. but
that as they got settled there is little
to spend money for. In letter writ
ten early in October ne stated that
the influenza over there had about
run its course, for he heard little
about 1t then. but on November 10,
he states that 1t seems to be getting
worse.

FROM FLOYD HENsLER
FRANCE

October 28, 1918. Some place in
France. Do you know where that
is?" is the way Floyd Hensler start
ed letter to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Hensler. They do not
know exactly but they have kept
track by the press reports of the
fighting until they have a very good
idea Just about where Floyd is locat-
ed. or at least was located at the
time he wrote. Floyd says. in part:
II was in fine spirits this evening
for we heard that Austria had quit.
and too, because we signed the pay
roll, the most important part-and
big bunch of the fellows got let

postoffice and walked up to the win
dow and said Give me Hensler's
mail. didn't ask II there was any
because was so certain that had
lots of 1t. He says: Nothing doing.
and that was the end of all my high
hopes for today. We will hope there
is some tomorrow.
II had the time OF my life Sunday
morning. A friend and had the op-
portunity to go thru genuine French
market. 1t certainly was novelty.
To see the people buying what they
eat and wear looks more like a circus
than a store. They have open air
stands and the fellows who can talk
loudest gets the most business. 1t

celebrations, and Tom (Ga1lavan)

a wonderful country indeed. but give
me the good old U. s. A. for mine"
Two days later Floyd finished a
letter and he said: Everything is
lovely as ever but then I have not
received any of those desired letters.
II worked twelve hours last night
and then this morning orders came
to fall in for drill. We asked why.
and they said that we needed the
exercise. think our next excitement
will be pay day. and 1t will help some,
and don't know hardly what to do
with all the money will have. I'll
buy me a watch for one thing as
the salt water on the way over put
the 'kiboch' on the one I had.
1.-THE days are neither hot or cold
here now-just right, and l am won
dering IL it will get cold here.
Floyd speaks of the work of the
Red Cross and shows that this and
other organizations certainly make
life different from what 1t would be
without them. He wrote another
letter on November 3, in which he
states that he received kis said let
ters, five in all, and he remark9:
"Think of 1t, five all at one time"

FROM MISS sTREvER

Extracts from letter received by
Miss Jewel Strever from her sister
Frances, in Washington, D. C.
I suppose you had a good time
Thanksgiving. 1 had a lovely time.
Carrie Schrieber and / were invited
out to Mr.. Beall's, 10 miles out OF
the city. and I am surprised that
have had to eat anything since that
time, but my appetite does not seem
to be diminishing.
Mr.. BeaIl showed us barn full OF
tobacco. The plants are hung on
sticks across the rafters and the lower
ones reach nearly to the floor. He
said there were 10000 plants and
they would be worth about $4,000,
but there is worlds of work to 1t
vet. and 1t will not be ready for sale
till next summer.
In the country around there they
still have defendants of different
clans, as we have read about, and
Beall's have an old clan cemetery
few rods from the house on the side
of a little hill. Everything was new
and interesting to me. l canot speak
sufficiently of the. dinner. but .he
southerners are certainly some en-
tertainers.
Friday night we went to 'Geo-
graphic society lecture "1taly's Part

/ had slides and reels of motion pic
lures, which were the best l have
ever seen. taken by soldiers right
at the front. so he said we might
know they were not staged In Cali

have not given the credit due the
Italians for their part in the war.
