WHEAT SHOWED
SPIRIT OF U. s.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations viii Be Able to Re
turn to Their Normal Sup
ply of White
Bread.

Overshadowing all other accomplish
ments of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
Is the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was I'm this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments Of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts to save wheat. The &C
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets viii! become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus Will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom Will
he enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the PEG
pies of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
20OOo,000 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 14l 100000 bushels of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
12l,OO0,0O0 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation OF flour brought
about by the wheatless meals. wheat
less days, substitution In our kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white nour--wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST OF December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 100000 bushels had been tax
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
already shipped to the allies II SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
Oui ipNui EApOiAs uuQN6 Ibb,ubO,UbJ
bushels by July 1. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bIlity for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 85,000000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first OF the
year and the advent of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,9G0,305 bushels since July
l. Absolutely the only Limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July l OF next year
we VIII have sent more than 237 ,500,-
900 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good America q
pledge that the bread rations of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because Of limited room on the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage Of soldiers. However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our boys,
the American Red Cross IL arranging
for as large freight shipments Of these
as possible to be distributed through
It's Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
burly soldier boy was as pleased as
punch over some simple puzzle that
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance Is told Of
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much as a toothbrush In
his possession When he was handed
a comfort kit with comb, brush and
even a toothbrush his Joy knew no
bounds, and he Immediately made a
mental allotment from his next pay
day to 20 TO the American Red Cross,
which had proved his friend In his
hour of need.

Working In the Name
OF the Christ Child

COME thirty years ago there lived
- in the city of Washington a young
girl, the daughter of Richard 4.
Merrick, distinguished lawyer, says
the Survey. A serious injury, due to
an accident, had left her an invalid.
confined TO her couch. The Christmas
season was fast approaching and amid
the preparations for the holidays,
which the happy family were buslly
making, this young invalid, reared in
luxury, conceived the desire of clothing
in the name of the Christ Child some
poor babe who was to come into the
world in poverty. She made a simple
but complete layette, sent for friend
who she knew could find the very
mother who needed such assistance,
and one small child was clothed in the
name of the Christ Child.
The Christ Child, society, founded
q years ago, distributed 1870 layettes
last year. Not one request has ever
been refused to an applicant indorsed
by its visitors. And from this has
developed the material relief depart
ment which clothes and shoes chill
dren, furnishes a fortnight's outing,
u brace for a crippled leg or a book
from the library. There are no religious
qualifications. Active members CON
tribute a definite number of hours
work each week, and anyone may be-
come a member by promising to an
swer the Christmas letter of poor
child. Washington numbers 1000 men,
bers, and there are more than $500 In
all. including the branches in % cit
les.
From her couch. where she has lain
for more than IS years, Miss Mer-
rick directs and leads all the soci-
ety's work.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
IS SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

OF all the observances of

\ have known the one this year

y true spirit of the day. Self cen
4 tered exchanging of gifts will be
4 little in evidence because our
4 resources are pledged to much
4 more important use.
4 The Red Cross Christmas Roll
4 Call is conceived in the new
4 light. When the American man,
4 woman or child pays the nomi-
+ nal membership dues the action
X far transcends an ordinary con
4 trlbution. Wherever people are
y starving, wherever they are sick,
4 wherever they lack shelter, the
4 Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
4 will stand for renewed hope and
4 the promise of efficacious relief.
4 How necessary, then, that the
4 answer of the American people
4 should be overwhelming. The
amount of money raised is sec
4 ondary. Tho world viii measure
4 our humanitarian purpose 10y the

thus sp2culated concerning the amalga-
nation of Christmas eve and St NichO-
las eve: "Perhaps the amalgamatlOn
of the two festivals was brought about
by motives OF economy. the giving of
presents on December and again on
December Is constituting too heavy a
toll on parental purses. That this was
the case appears to be proved by the
custom prevailing in Catholic Germany
where st. Nicholas duly appears in
each home on December 8, and inqulr-
ing into the conduct of the children
rewards the worthy with fruits and
cakes and lectures the unworthy on the
duty of obedience. He then asks the
Christ Child to bring them at Christ
mas, and on the morning of that day
they usually find the desired articles in
the shoes which they placed overnight
on the hearth. This variation of the
original Nicholas eve custom, for 50
long obsolete in England, probably ac-
counts for our possession Of Santa
Claus In his present form. He Is

initiation of the prince consort, hus-
