chandjse Is Hauled by Trucks
on Return Trips.

Last year producers Of eggs near
vineland and Millville, New Jersey.
had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers in New York City. This year,
however, they travel direct by motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
In less time and with less loss from
breakage than in other seasons.
This community Of producers has
found the results of their experiment
of shipping eggs by motor truck so
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables, poultry. end other products
In season.
Eggs by Motor Truck.
Following a season In which trans
portation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau of markets Of the United States
department Of agriculture, and spe-
cialists on motor-truck marketing made
a survey of the situation. This was
followed by a group Of producers agree
ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designated
places along the route the truck was
to cover. A large commercial motor
truck company, operating fleet OF
trucks between New York and Phila-
Ndelphia, was interested and agreed to
make detour on their trips to New
York, to which city their trucks had
often Travelled without being loaded,
to take in Vineland and Millville.' Lo-
cal farmers and merchants In these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure a full load
for the trucks all the way from Phiia-
delphia to New York.
Capacity Of Trucks.
The trucks have a capacity OF about
Eve tons, and can take 200 crates OF
eggs. On the first trip only $50 cases
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance of the load was made up OF Grated
glass from vineland and Millville. This
first load went the 40 miles In the
record time Of Is hours with not an
egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks In front
of the wholesale houses. On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to. Philadelphia.
Some of the dealers in New York
City are offering premium OF from
one-half to one, and one-half cents q
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from vineland and Millvilie, be-
cause the eggs arrive In better condi-
ton and in quicker time than when
shipped by rail. This premium alone
more than covers the difference In cost
of shipping by motor truck and by rail.
and, in addition to the time saved, the
motor-truck service II more dependable
and gives better delivery. The egss.
az yet, are not pooled, but consist OF

1 Of support in food conservation, lei me, in this New Years greeting, most seriously urge that you be alert and understand the necessity for sav- ing.
 To the officers and members of the County Council of Defense, who have been invaluable in their SUD- port, let me thank you for this great assistance and accept the warning to be ever watchful of your country's interests.
 Let no man, no woman be deluded by the thought that we are secure and free from the machinations of the enemy, let us understand this fact now-the enemy is within our gatesl
 l cannot urge too strongly upon those who have in charge grain and food products of all kinds that ex- tra precautions be taken to guard the same from destruction. This is not said to alarm you, but rather to emphasize preparedness" and to care for products that are essen tially important to the government and your welfare.
 The hotels, restaurants, cafes and boarding house heads 1 thank most sincerely for your assistance in making ''meatless Tuesday and "wheatless Wednesday, a reality in Arkansas. Those days in our state are vital necessity They cannot become the patriotic reality de- sired, however, unless the men, women and children of Arkansas, in their homes, also observe them.
 The present war has brought about many restrictions. Numerous business firms are doing business today differently than they were year ago. Next year still more ex- acting measures will have been put into effect. To all who have come under government restriction, per- init me to thank for your willing ness to comply and the loyal man her in which you have co-operated with the government.
 I want Arkansas record of loyal ty and cooperation to be greater than that of any other state. Renew at this time, more emphatic than ever before, your support. Read the following New Years resolution carefully. As loyal Arkansan sign it. I want to place countless thousands of these resolutions con- taining your names before our great president When you have signed it. return it to me, please, and ae- cept my deepest appreciation for your patriotic services, past, present and future, and my most sincere wish for a Happy New Year.

New Years Greeting
BY HAMP WILLIAMS.
To Loyal. Patriotic Arkansans:

To Loyal, Patriotic Arkansans:
 American is going to win this, the greatest war in the history of the world!
 To be victorious however. we must first think most seriously about this crisis thru which the nation is passing. We must highly resolve as one of the first of our New Years resolutions to ascertain in what manner we can best serve our government and, having found that out, bend our every effort to give our great President our fullest measure of support.
 Never in all the history of our country has a New Year dawned that offered greater opportunity for patriotic devotion on the part of the people to the government. As an authorized agent of the govern ment, this message is more particu- larly directed to the loyal, patriotic men, women and children who con- stitute the second line of defense and to them and desire at this time to sincerely thank for their support and cooperation in those projects that have been presented concern ing the conservation of food.
 Over 60,000 families in Arkansas are now part of the Food Adminis- tration. Every county in the state has rallied to the government in this respect More signed pledge cards are coming in daily. It is a record of which we have reason to be proud. It is a showing that will please our officials at Washington
 Let us not imagine, however, our work is finished. We have only be- gun. The real test of sacrifice, of devotion to the ideals of the nation and of utmost loyalty we have not as yet--those of us who will remain at home-been called upon to ex- emplify. That time, however, is coming Let us not be found want ing in single measure of support
 In most grateful appreciation do l acknowledge the support of the of Arkansas and thank them most sincerely. The press of the state has more than done it's bit" Without the assistance of the many of the great pro- jeets of the government would have failed, and when the record of pa triotism is written into the history of this war no page will be bright 1 CT or more illustrious than that re- necting the service, loyalty and pa- triotism of the press.
 To the good housewives of the | State, in whom rests the bulwark

STATEMENT BY MIR. HOOVER.

The food situation in Europe is far graver than when the prelmin- ary survey of the food supply of the world for this year was made. We have an amundance for ourselves and it IS the firm policy of the food administration, by the prevention of exports, to retain for our people an ample supply of every essential foodstulls. The harvest four all lies have proved less than we had contemplated, and the great cur tailment of shipping by the subma- rines during the last few months has further prevented them from access to more remote markets. Be- yond the demands of the allies there IS a call upon us by the friendly neutrals for food supplies, and if we cannot at least in part respond to these neutral calls, starvation on an unparalleled scale must ensue.
 Food has now taken a dominant position in the war, and we must ask the American people to sacri- lice far more than was at first thought necessary. We have ex- ported the whole of the wheat from this harvest after reserving to our selves an amount sufficient for our normal consumption of seed and flour until the next harvest, and therefore the amount of wheat flour that the United States can contri- bute to mix with the war bread of our allies during this winter will be simply the amount that our people reduce their consumption month by month. In other words. every grain Of wheat or it's product that the al- lies receive from the United States from now on will be exactly the amount which our people have saved each month on their behalf.
 The allies today ask for 25 per cent more wheat and fats (pork, dairy products and vegetable oils than we consider our monthly pro- duetion permits us to send them without trenching our own supplies. or, on the other hand. unless we can consume less. Due to the shortage in shipping our available sugar SUD- plies must be less than normal from the present time forward.
 Thus every particle of dimin- ished consumption by the American people IS one particle more for the soldiers, men women and children of our allies and for the starving people in other countries. This is a personal obligation upon every one Of us toward some individual abroad who will suffer priyation to the ex- tent of our own individual negli- eence.
 IT we are to reduce the con- sumption Of the few products which we should export abroad. we will

Soldiers Preferring DishOn0rable
 Discharge Cannot Escape.

Washington, Dee. 30.- -Dishonor- able discharges from the army which many officers believe have been seized upon by slackers and objectors as the vehicle to escape from military service, will no longer provide such anopportunity under an order issued yesterday by seere- lary of War Baker.
 For several weeks the army has been losing men at the rate of 100 to i50 a day. They chose to commit offenses which led to their dishon- 0rable discharge.
 In the future Secretary Baker or dered, such men will get terms of imprisonment with their discharges and whenever possible some other form of sentence will be used.

RUMAN|A' RULER
 ADVOCATES THRONE
Grown Prince Charles Said to Have Succeeded King Ferdinand, Who Is HohenzOllern and Has Two
 Brothers in German Army.

Petrograd, Dec. 29.-There are persistent rumors here that King Ferdinand of Rumania has abdicat- ed in favor of Crown Prince Charles.
The Mena weekly star., 1918-01-03

Disturbed conditions in Rumania were reported in a dispatch from Peirograd dated Friday King Fer dinand who is a member of the Hohenzollern family, succeeded his uncle, King Charles, in October, 1914, King Charles having died at Sinia on October i0 Rumania de- elared war on Austria on August 2, 1916, and King Ferdinand took per- sonal command of the army shortly thereafter.
 King Ferdinand is the son of Prince Leopold of H0henzollern- Sigmaringen and two of his broth CTS are generals in the German army. He was born at Sigmaringen August 2i 1865.
 Grown Prince Charles was born on October 30, 1893, and is an officer in the Rumanian army. He is unmar- ried, altho early in 1914 it was re- ported that his betrothal to the then Grand Duchess Olga of Russia had been arranged.
 Queen Marie of Rumania, who was duchess of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, is a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and was married to King Ferdinand on Janu- ary 10, 1893.
 Since Rumanias entrance into the war, more than two-thirds of her territory has been overrun by the enemy. The royal family fled from the capital, Bucharest, in the fall of 1916, and since that time has been at Jassy.

need to eat a larger proportion of many different foodstuifs which we cannot export and, which we have at home. For this reason we MUST NOT waste ANY foodstuffs. A great many individuals in our pop ulation eat far more food than ne- cessary to maintain their health and strength. In this emergency only the simplest of living is patriotic. We want no person in the United States to eat less than is required for good health and full strength, for in this emergency America re- quires every atom of the productive power of our people. While many eat less. all of our population can substitute other foodstuffs for the few that are virtually needed for ex- port.
 We must not overlook the fact that Russia collapsed not because of the Germans on her borders but largely because of the failure to or ganize and feed her own citizens, and if we are to emerge victorious from this war we can not risk the collapse of another of our allies from the same cause. There is no waste of food among any of our al- lies there is the most drastic re- duction in their consumption; there is actual privation among their women and children; there is starv- alton in Belgium.
 We have already issued a series of suggestions in the home card-a card that is now hanging in over ten millions of homes. These sug- gestions have already shown inn portant results and to these we now add others. The problem of saving in food is a local and individual one, so that more precise and defl- nite rules just to all can not be | formulated. It is a matter for the conscientious consideration of every individual that he or she should eat only that which is necessary tc maintain bodily health and strength and unselilshly to select foodstuifS the use of which relieves interna- tional necessities. Tn this winter of 1918 lies the period when there will be tested in this great free country of ours the question as to whether or not our people are capable of voluntary individual self-sacrifice to save the world
