HOW ABOUT "CHEATLEss" DAYS?

In the wake of the "meatless" days
been instituted by Mr. Hoover in the
cause OF food conservation, and which
have been accepted by the American
people in all good grace, an inquiring
contemporary wants to know whether
ii would not be a good plan to observe
n least one day each week as a
',Ecatless" day. just how he would
rut this program into operation we
would not venture guess. but it goes
without saying that in these trouble
some times the American people could
practice the plan suggested to good
advantage to their pockctbooks and to
their patriotism as well.
When "mcatless" Tuesdays and
~..Hcatirss Wednesdays were first
= posed The big hotel and restaurant
men jumped at the opportunity to dis,
play their patriotism in bally-hoo
IL ,hion. They got together in every
community and Immediately inaugu-

Smaller portions are the fashion these
days: but what about the prices?
Are they smaller? They are not, nor

such day should also apply to the
butcher sand grocers as we'll.

General March. chief OF stan, eX-

n tanner OF the true soldier, He is not
given to eNtrayagant utterances; he
is brief and blunt in speech Hence
his recent remark. in commenting on
the crisis that had arisen, that I'VE
must strip for action oCcasioned no
little speculation as to just what he
really intended to say through the
medium of that stereotyped criticism
of the conduct of the war to date,
while others are certain that he was
merely concerning himself with the
business OF the moment without re-
gard for the mistakes that may have
been committed in the past. Mean
while the general persists in main
tanning discreet silence.
In the absence of his assurance to
the contrary, however. we are in
clined to endorse the view outlined
by the New York Sun. Says this
contemporary in commenting on Cen

thus relieving the retail delivery serv-

each month.
They are using their motor cars
to go to and from their business, and
to make business calls of every char
acter. Statesmen and others travel
from town to town in their motor
cars, many of them using automobiles
regularly over stated routes.
Thus the passenger automobile is
playing its part in conserving the
nations resources. 1t is releasing
men for other duties. 1t is taking
some of the burden from the rail-
roads, the interurban trolley systems
and city street railways. Trolley
companies in several cities have TAX
en- numerous cars out of service, and
there is no doubt that the growing
use OF the motor Car is at least par
TALLY responsible. Every trolley car
that is taken out of operation means
less power consumed, and that in
turn means less coal burned.

me II consumes is more than COM

AN OPEN LETTER
From the Atlanta Baptist Pastors
Conference

Dear Brother
The imperious call of our Lord for
his people to Come up to the help
of the Lord, to the help of the Lord
against the mighty" is upon US. 1t
is such an hour as never before dawn
ed upon the world. Happily, God
has brought together the opportunity
and the increased circulation of mo-
ney in the hands of His people with
which to meet it.
Home missions is confronted with
an appalling task. The young man.
hood of our nation has been called
together within reach of religious
workers under circumstances which
have given a new and living meaning
to the gospel. All the world is in a
death grapple over the supremacy
of the principles fundamental in the
gospel, and dear to every Baptist
heart. Our Foreign Mission Board
has NOW put upon it duty which
we had dreamed as a possibility in
some far away day. While the world
surges and staggers in uncertainty
as to the immediate future results. in
the dark, above is the Cross of Christ.
Ibis is our day. Demons shall hiss
and cruelty Him, but above the Cross
J it is written, This is Jesus, the King
of the Jews"
Other states are setting for them
selves a task worthy of their num-
bers in intelligent acknowledgements
OF the challenge of their LOYALTY.
$loo,oOO for Foreign Missions and a
proportionate amount for Home Mis-
! slons should be out aim if we are to
secure the million dollars impera-
tlveiy needed for Foreign Missions
TINS year. Georgia's noble leadership
IN good works is in danger of per-
manently departing unless we regain
mat worthy place now. What shall
we do? That will depend upon each
and every one of us doing his best.
ABOVE the ordinary collection sche-
duled for missions shall we not make
sacrifcial efforts and glorify God
amid the din of conflict?
Praying the Lords richest bless
ing upon His work in our hands

GAS SHORTAGE"
TALK IS HARMFUL

BUSINESS men seriously interested
IN the governments efforts to pre-
serve public confidence and stimu-
late more general feeling of opti-
mism, have no sympathy for "gaso-
line shortage" alarmists.
I'm the first place." said one local
merchant, those who persist in CIV
ing the public the impression that
there is a shortage, or that one is
imminent. are stimulating pessimism.
nothing pleases our enemies more
to hear of shortages Nothing is so
disconcerting to the public.
I'm the second place, there is no
gasoline shortage. Furthermore
there is no immediate prospect OF
one. Although the price has risen
slightly, as everything else has risen,
the government has not yet consider
ed it necessary to place limitation
on its use. The government realizes
that the gasoline used in the opera
ton OF motor cars, for example, is
almost entirely for the cause of
greater personal efficiency"

troit motor car manufacturers, re-

NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds in order to meet Europes tre-
mendOuS demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterWard.
The United States food admins
tratiOn reports that American stock
raiSers have shown q disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds October, SIPS );
November and December, S16OS; Jam
larry, $14.4O. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle as
we'll as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle in 1913, she now has only 49,
341 ,9OO decrease of 1875 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and One-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

Train Wreck.

When the air line train from the
south, came into Newport on the eve
ming of the 9Th two hours late,a G. P.
freight was siding in the yard and
the engineer on the passenger train
mistook the lantern signal of mem
Der of the freight crew for "clear'
signal and steamed in, side-Swiping
the freight. The collision demolished
a car containing pig lead and another
car of prunes and the air line engine
was quite badly damaged but no one
was hurt.
The wreck train was called from
Lyndonville and the air line finally
went on it's way to Montreal delayed
another hour by the accident.
Following in the wake of a slight
wreck on the C. P. Ry., Monday at
Newport, Center and that of the air
line smashing into freight in New
port yard, Wednesday, another which
occurred Thursday night caused more
trouble. A freight had broken
drawbar and had stopped in the ledge
cut about four miles from Newport
on the G.. p. Ry., to make a chain
hitch to allow the train to reach the
yard. The way freight running late
and on a down grade, was unable to
stop when signaled by the fagman,
and crashed into the rear end of the

Farnham, P. O., and another from

results, That no one was injured
