BOYS COME HOME.

According to General March, the
Ely boys who are in the 125th Field
Artillery in France will be home be-
fore Christmas. 1t will be a gala
day in Ely when the boys come home.
This bunchsof boys left Eveleth last
year on August 9th and after train
ing at Camp Cody were sent across
two months ago. Many others will
be home by Christmas.
The three hundred or more Ely
boys in the service will be mustered
out in the coming months and will
come home heroes. The city will do
all in their power to give them re-
ception and the committee named in
another column will know how to do
it. Then with the erection of the
community center building for fu-
ture use we will show these men that
their efforts in our behalf are not
forgotten.
Already they are beginning to ar
rive. Edd Takkunen, who had been
with the officers training camp at
Camp Lee, Virginia, arrived Tues
day evening having been mustered
out.
The American heart is thrilled to
the bursting point on seeing the sol
der men. Glad when they went,
but happy when they return. Let
us rejoice.

MUST INCREASE
FOOD EXPORTS
America Called on by End of
War to Supply Added
Millions.
ECONOMY STILL NEEDED
Over Three Times Pre-War Shipments
Required-Situation In Wheat and
Fats Proves Governments
Policy Sound.

With the guns in Europe silenced,
we have now to consider new world
food situation. But there can be no
hope that the volume of our exports
can be lightened to the slightest de-
gree with the cessation of hostilities
Millions of people liberated from the
Prussian yoke are now depending
them from starvation.
With food the United States made
1t possible for the forces of democ-
racy to hold out to victory. To insure
democracy in the world, we must con-
tinue to live simply in order that we
may supply these liberated nations of
Europe with food. Hunger among q
people inevitably breeds anarchy.
American food must complete the work
of making the world safe for democ-
racy.
Last year we sent II, $4,000 tons of
food to Europe. For the present year,
with only the European Allies to feed,
we had originally pledged ourselves TO
a program that would have increased
our exports to 17,5OO,OOO tons. Now,
to feed the liberated nations, we will
have to export total of not less than
100000 toas-practically the limit
Of loading capacity at our ports. Re
viewing the world food situation, we
find that some foods will be obtainable
in quantities sufficient to meet all
world needs under a regime of eco
nomical consumption. On the other
hand, there will be marked world
shortages in some important commodi-
ties.
Return to Normal Bread Loaf.
With the enlarged wheat crops
which American farmers have grown,
and the supplies of Australia, the Ar
gentine and other markets now acces,
sible to shipping, there are bread
grains enough to enable the nations to
return to their normal wheat loaf,
provided we continue to mill flour at
high percentage of extraction and
maintain economy in eating and the
avoidance of waste.
In fats there will be heavy short
age = about 3OO0,OOO,OOO pounds = in
pork products, dairy products and
vegetable oils While there will be q
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-11-29

rtage Of about three million tons
in rich protein feeds for dairy ami.
mails, there will be sufficient supplies
Of other feedstuffs to allow economical
consumption.
In the matter of beef, the worlds
supplies are limited to the capacity OF
the available refrigerating ships. The
supplies of beef in Australia, the Ar
gentine and the United States are suf-
ficient to load these ships There will
be shortage in the importing coun-
tries, but we cannot hope to expand
exports materially for the next months
in view of the bottle neck in trans
portation.
We will have sufficient supply Of
sugar to allow normal consumption In
this country if the other nations re-
tain their present short rations or In
crease them only slightly. For the
countries of Europe, however, to In
crease their present rations to a ma
terial extent will necessitate our shar-
Ing a part of our own supplies with
them.
Twenty Million Tons of Food.
Of the world total, North America
will furnish more than go per cent.
The United States, Including the West
Indies, will be called upon to furnish
100000 tons Of food of all kinds a.
compared with our pre-war exports Of
about 100000 tons.
While we will be able to change our
program in many respects, even O
casual survey of the world supplies
in comparison to world demands shows
conclusively that Europe will know
famine unless the American people
bring their home consumption down
to the barest minimum that will main
tain health and strength.
There are conditions Of famine In
Europe that will be beyond our power
to remedy. There are 10000 600 peo-
pie in North Russia whom there Ia
small chance Of reaching with food
this winter. Their transportation IL
demoralized in complete anarchy, and
shortly many of their ports will DO
frozen, even if internal transport
could be realized.
To Preserve Civilization.
At this moment Germany has not
alone sucked the food and animals
from all those masses of people she
has dominated and left starving. but
she has left behind her q total wreck
age of social institutions, and this
mass of people is now confronted with
absolute anarchy.
If we value our own safety and the
social organization of the world, II we
value the preservation Of civilization
itself, we cannot permit growth Of this
cancer in the worlds vitals.
Famine is the mother of anarchy.
From the inability of governments to
secure food for their people grows
revolution and chaos. From an ability
to supply their people grows stability
of government and the defeat of an
archy. Did we put 1t on no higher
plane than our interests in the pro
lection of our institutions, we mus,
bestir ourselves In solution Of THU
| problem.

A SAD DEATH

Word received in this city early in
the week of the death in France of

daughter was in France. Her father,
Richard Whiteside, died in this city

Makers Of Heroes.

Emerson says, "Times of heroism are
generally times of terror" They show
true character. 1t seems that human
nature needs a test to show the stuff
it's made of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by a
mighty challenge. 1t seems as though
there is some militarism of the soul
that waits the fife call and the meas
ure of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack of occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rouses and
strides frayward to the dismay Of petty
puppets of annoyance.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
II only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh. which Is
an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces Of the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars

this breed of pests should also be
