War Garden Work

The County Agent has received
the checks for the prize winners in
the War Garden Contest. The mo-
ney can be had by calling on the
County Agent.
The Food Administration and the
Council Of Defense spent much mo-
ney to encourage gardening. Wheth-
er they got results or not, could have
been easily answered by going thru
Cambridge and asking people whom
they met, whether they were growing
a garden or not. Too much credit
cannot be given to the women OF the
county for the way they responded
in this emergency. Because OF the
efforts made, it is absolutely safe to
say that there were more garden pro-
ducts grown and canned in this
county than has ever been grown be-
fore. Buyers of food, thru these
gardens. have saved thousands OF
dollars.
Peace has come, but the most OF
the world is still starving. Let us
grow, next year. more and even bet
ter gardens than we grew last year.

Jos. |. Kerr Addresses
High School Seniors

Hon. Josiah L. Kerr this morning
made a splendid address to the Sen
iors of the High School, in the Ameri
can History class. Mr.. Kerr touched
upon the reasons for studying his
tory, and the advantages derived
from this study. After giving these
reasons and advantages, he told OF
the troubles of the Trainers of the
Constitution, when they drew up
that important document. Mr.. Kerr
went on to show how the govern
ment Of the United States at this
time was used in jests and laughed
at by the rulers of the European
countries. Finally. however. the
Constitution was ratified and given
strength by the body of great men
composing the Trainers. These men
were Influenced largely by the master
mind of Samuel Adams, of Massa-
chusetts. After telling how it was
that the obStinacy of King George
III, and not because of any cruelty
or barbarism on his part, caused the
Revolution that took place Mr.. Kerr
told of the splendid spirit shown by
American mothers from the time of
the Revolution up to the gerat war
of today, and illustrated some Of the
heroic deeds thew have done
Mr.. kerr's address was thoroughly
enjoyed by the class, and he certain
ly deserves the appreciation which
the class and their teacher, Miss<5As-
sic E. Bradshaw, hold OF him and his
efforts to do what is in his power to
help.

AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR
With Military Demands Upon oceas
shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread,

Since the advent Of the latest wheai
crop the only limitation upon Ameri
can exports to Europe has been tn,
shortage of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 65,9S0,30.
bushels. If this rate should cOntinu,
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with NOR,
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat snt
flour in terms Of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the Unite{
States has been that with the cessa
tion of hostilities we are able to re
turn to a normal wheat diet. Suppliei
that have accumulated in Australia
Argentine and other hitherto inacces
sible markets may be tapped by ship,
released from transport service, an |
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail.
able to have white loaf at the com,
mon table.
But last year the tale was different
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV,
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare Surplus Of
2O000,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-and In Europe bread Is by far
the most important article in the diet,
All Of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
Of the year we had managed to ship q
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if we sent an additional TO-
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
Ahe ieoPoHoe VI Tie AlneTlcdH peO-
pie was S5,0O0,000 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January l and
July /. Out of a harvest which gave
us only 20,000,O00 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141 100000 bushels
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

NEWS GAME SATURDAY
Report of Lost Boy Not I'm

County Mourns Loss

A message received here last
Saturday morning brought the
sad news of the death Of Sam W.
Pridgen, a son of our townsman,
George I. Pridgen, who went
down on the transport Otranto,
which was sunk when the vessel
collided with another in British
waters. The telegram from the
War Department, signed by the
Adiutant General, read as fol
lows: Deeply regret to inform
you t th at Sergeant Sam w.
Pridgen. Coast Artillery, is re-
ported missing in the sinking of
the Otranto October 9th. Letter
follows"
Although Mr.. Pridgen here
had received notice some time
ago of the safe arrival Of his
son in France, nothing more than
the safe arrival card" was re-
ceived, which caused some un-
easiness. For several days be-
fore the message came announc
ing the death of his son, Mr..
Pridgen was expecting unpleas-
ant news as ne seemed TO feel
that Sam had never reached the
other side. Little hope had been
held that the sargeant had not
encountered some misfortune,
although the news from Wash
ington was received with much
grief and sorrow.
The letter which followed the
telegram that was received here
last Saturday. says: 1t is With
profound regret that we confirm

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHING
Farmers, Urged by Food AdminIstra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loavss
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers Of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by
reports from 89 grain states to the U.
8, Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
8H per cent-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest possi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulsion were conf
aaratiyely rare
