SOME 1918 GARDEN NEEDS

Market gardens neal large consum-
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet, as nearly as possible, the
needs of the community, and in order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points.
The planting of home gardens, es-
peciaIly for family needs and for pre-
serving food for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of per-
ishables generally should be ~increas-
ed above normal wherever it is rea-
sonably clear that transportation and
marketing facilities will be available.

Our Fighting Forces

Washington, Jan. 10.-The payroll
of the fighting forces of the United
States is now nearly 500, 100000 a
month. This sum includes pay of Of
ficers and enlisted men in the army
and navy serving both in this coun-
try and abroad. Family allotments
and compensation for certain services

count family allowances paid by the
governm ent toward the support of
families of enlisted men under speci-
fed conditions, nor does it include any
of the special compensatory features

Act.

partments for the information of the

American consumption of beef is in
creasing at an alarming rate, accord
ing to figures announced by the
United States Food Administration. In
the fiscal year of 1916-17 the per cap
tia consumption jumped 10 pounds
above the consumption for the pre-
ceding II months. The average Amer
lean, the figures show, is eating 65.O4
pounds of beef each year. Europe
needs beef more than at any time in
history, yet our 1867 exports drop
ped 100000 pounds below exports
in 1915-16. Unless our home con-
sumption of beef is reduced, it must
mean that in order to supply the
absolute needs of Europe our own
herds will have to be depleted at a
dangerous rate-and they are already

The system of pay in the navy is

salaries range from the $500 a

is graduated compensation for length
of service and 10 per cent additional

Payments to officers and enlisted
men are made twice each month"; to
officers on the fifteenth and last days
and to enlisted men on the fifth and

man whether his payment is in cash
or by check on the treasurer of the

SPIKING SALT FAMINE RUMOR.

The Germans evidently realize that
the american public likes to be
fooled" otherwise they would not
have started the rumors of a salt
famine in this country. Nothing
could have been more absurd, yet the
extent to which it was believed almost
resulted in a real embarrassment to
the country. For transportation facil-
titles that were badly needed for other
purposes had to be used to replenisb

The report that the food administration
or the federal government was going
to seize home-canned vegetables and
