ALMYRA GLEANINGs

Crops are beginning to need rain,
hut timely showers Saturday night
and Sabbath afternoon relieved the
conditions so far as the weather is
concerned. Most cotton will be hoed
over the first time this week. Both
corn and cotton look promising at
present. The Irish potato crop is
fast maturing, but is not SO good as
was thought to be d few weeks ago.
The oat and wheat crops are fairly
good. A good corn crop usually fol-
lows good crop and vice versa, so t e
indications are favorable for good
corn crop.
As we had no gleaHings last week,
lit may not be out Of place to note
this week that the good people Of
Macedonia M. f. church observed
children's day on the afternoon Of
Sabbath week. They had a splendid
program which was well rendered
The Sunday school, under Walter
Newton, had charge Of the exercises.
The children all acquitted themselves
well. The Sunday school Offering
lamounted to near $500. Besides that
offering, another was taken for the
Red Cross, which amounted to more
than $4,000.
On last Friday night the ladies'
aid society of Macedonia gave an
entertainment. at which ice cream and
lemonade were served. The net pro-
ceeds amounted to more than $4,000.
A few days ago Deputy Sheriff
BlankenshiD summoned several per-
sons in this part of the 9th district
to appear in j. L. Richardson's
court in Covington on the 18th inst,
as witnesses in a contested land line
case between Messrs. A. Al. Kelley
and Il L. Handy.

ished.
Third: For cooperation with whom
ever is elected governor in all efforts
to straighten out the finances of the
state. Our state finances are in a
critical condition, and such can only
be remedied by the joint efforts of a
governor and a legislature devoted to
the public interest, and / shall cheer
fully do my part in reducing the
states expenditures to a point that is
within it's income. In this connection
II invite the attention Of the voters
to my record along this line in the last
Legislature, and especially to the part
| took in defeating a vicious tax law
that was proposed for passage. This
measure, had it become q law, would
have trebled the state taxes of every
farmer and landowner in Upton coun-
ty, and shall oppose as strongly as
7 can any tax scheme whose purpose
lis to make the farmers of the state
nay the deficits that accumulate in
the state treasury.
Fourth: The ratification Of the pro-
hibition amendment TO the national
constitution. ! have always been a
consistent advocate Of temperance,
and shall earnestly support this
amendment, and regard its ratifica-
.tion bv the next Legislature as fore
gone conclusion.
trust at later time to have
the opportunity Of seeing the voters
in person, and discussing with them
the above and other matters that
are Of vital Importance to the citi-
zens and taxpayers of the county.

:, saving.
 The sending of wheat during 1917
 was made easier because of the sur plus on hand during 1916. When the time for cutting the 1918 crop come there will be no
 surplus from 1917 to draw on.
 America had already used up her
 surplus by December of last year,
 and what has been sent since repre- sents the savings of the people throughout the country. The aver age total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal Allies
 has been about 11O,0O0,OOO bushels per year since 1914.
 Ceareals are the most vital of the food needs abroad. They not only yield the most protein but they also furnish more than twice the calories of any other food product.
 It is difficult for Americans to understand the part that bread plays in the diet of the French people. More than one-half of the money that is spent on foodstuffs in France goes for bread and flour while with us only 9 per cent of the average income goes in this way. Naturally it would be infinitely easier then, for us to cut down on our bread diet than for them. One way of doing this is to eat less bread nonS at all, if possible, and more of those vegetables that have pro- tein and calorie value.
 The wheat situation in England is becoming worse constantly. Eng land now imports four-fifths of her cereals.
 The burden of the cereal suppy rests with America. War cannot last beyond the time when produc- tion and saving fail to keep pace with consumption and destruction. It is nip and tuck. The saving and production of food has become a direct military contribution to the winning of the war.

NIP AND TUCK

It is now nip and tuck with the worlds food supply. Only a steady and constant program If conserva- tion on the part of America will enable her to sustain the fo"d flow to her associates in this war.
 Germany is not only keeping her people fed, but she is still inter- fering with the normal flow of food shipment to her enemies. She is now directing her submarine at tacks especially on the larger boats and those with the most valuable cargoes. Perhaps ten per cent of the actual shipments sunk have beer grain and other food supplies.
 The only way to repair this dam age is to set about saving more food to send in it's place. There should always be food enough on the docks for speedy shipping as fast as ships are available. The only way to make this possible is by steady

ENGINEER COMPANIES

CAMP KEARNEY, San Diego Utilizing the materials at hand and taking advantage of existing condi tons were two points of the train- ing of engineer troops brought out plainly on a recent field march of the 18th engineers here
 The engineers cut much timber for bridge building near Cuyamaca Lake, but cut all of it on the noun tainsides above the bridges, where it would be easy to bring it to the site of the work. One companv. lacking peavies, used. picks instead to handle the big logs. Another company, lacking mules, rolled it's logs downhill, directing their course by hand. A third, whose crosscnt saws became gummy in cutting the pitchy pine trees, obtained coal oil to clean them from the side lamps of passing automobile.

ENGLAND TAXES
 UNMALTED GRAIN
 FROM BREWER|ES

NEW YORK.-The amount of materials annually used in the United Kingdom of Great Britain for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages has been reduced from 1,856,000 tons before the beginning of the war to 512,O0O tons at pres. ent, according to a statement issued here by the British Pictorial Service.
 All the materials new being used for this purpose, it is stated, are utilized in brewing beer. During the past year." the memorandum says, "no manufacture of spirits for human consumption has been per mitted and no further manufacture is at present contemplated.
 It is pointed out that about one third of the materials used are not of a kind that could be used as human food and that about ore quarter to one-third of the weight of the original materials is recov- cred in the form of brewers and distillers' grains, malt combings fer cattle food and in the form of yeast for preparing human food.
 ''No unmalted barley is now in the hands of the brewers or malsters," says the statement "The whole of the existing stocks of unmalted grain were requisitioned for bread stuffs on February 23 last"
 Rations compulsorily imposed in the United Kingdom are enumerated as follows:
 Meat, including chicken, all kinds of game, etc., not exceeding IA pounds per week. There will be supplementary rations for those en- gagged in hard labor.
 Butter and margarine, one fourth pound of either, not both, per week.
 Sugar, one-half pound per week.
 "There are many other restric- tions, such as the restrictions of wheat in bread, of feeding cereals to livestock, in the uses of milk, ,etc."
