ITALIAN SUCCESSES
Towns, Prisoners and Guns Captured
Comrades Released

Washington, Nov. Official Rome
dispatches today describing the vic
torious sweep of Italian and Allied
armies that is demolishing the Aus
trian front, say the lines are moving
forward IL such great leaps that it no
longer is possible to identify towns
retaken or to count prisoners and
guns captured or Italians liberated.
Sixty thousand Italians held by the
enemy to work on defenses in occupi-
ed territory have been released.
With the Austrians everywhere In
flight and the Italian armies on two
wings about to unite, it is said to be
impossible tc forsee where the few
enemy divisions that escape will stop
running.

BIG GAME IN THE CONGO
Lions and Elephants Kill White Man
and Native

Big game is still abundant in the
Congo and man is not only hunter but
hunted and sometimes bagged by the
wild beasts, writes Roger S. Guptill,
Methodist missionary, recently
transferred from Kambove to Eliza
bethville.
When he section of the Cape to
Cairo Railroad between Bukama and
Elizabethville was completed, Mr..
Guptill Says that, "The white man
who linked up the road went home
quite late one evening, and lay down
to sleep near his shack. During the
night he was carried off by lion.
Although the man put up a good fight
he was k:,.
"At Kikondja, where We had to
wait two Gays for a steamer, the peo-
pie live m terror of elephants. Not
long ago the native chief, named
Kikondja, was out hunting, and
wounded ar elephant. When il
charged all the chiefs braves thought
it safer TO be up tree. So the ele-
phant threw Kikondja high into the
air. One native, an employee of a
white man, went to the chiefs rescue
and was trampled to death. The
chief died six days later.

TIMELY HINTS FOR
FARM CONSERV ALTON
Suggestions from Federal Food
Administrators

Montpelier, Nov. Prom a har-
| vest less in aggregate production than
| last year, the United States must ex-
port at least 171a million tons of food
stuffs over seas during the coming
season. This is about II million tons
more than average pre-war exports,
or nearly two tons apiece for the
average American farm where most
of this food originates.
Rigid conservation of food and feed
stored III granaries, cribs, barns and
similar buildings-also products now
| in the felGs-are essential to proper
| ly maintain our own population and
to meet increased foreign needs.
Animal feeds, though in crude form,
must be considered as food, since
they are the basis for meat, milk and
poultry products.
The vast quantity of food stuffs
stored on farms makes opportunities
for saving them correspondingly
large. Following are common sourc-
es of food losses with suggestions for
reducing them.
FIRE-Remove infammable rub
bish, splow fireguards, use care with
matches, lanterns and stoves. Sup
plement these safety measures with
fire fighting equipment kept in a
definite place for instant use. In
brief, consider a farm as food muni-
ton establishment
SHELTER-Prev spoilage and
deterioration by putting all food
stuffs possible under adequate shell
ter. Full utilization of storage space
and prompt repair of roofs help
greatly in preventing food losses. By
sheltering tcodstuffs on farms con-
servation is effected at the source
RATS AND PESTS-Regard rats
and similar pests seriously, as the dir
ect enemy 0f starving humanity. Ex-
clude them with concrete floors anC
destroy their breeding places. Rat:
must not es.t holes in our bulwarks OF
national Cefense
STOCK LOSSES-More than {
million tons of our food export:
must comprise meats, fats, dairy pro
ducts and poultry products. Th'
quantity G. this class Of food de
pends lars ely on comfortable hous
ing and the care which animals re
ceive. Needless exposure and IRE
gular attention may result in reduced
! production and mortality. Thorough
/. farm conse1 walton demands that live
, stock be kept comfortable and il
healthy condition thereby securing
, maximum results from the feed con
sumed.
) In complying with these sugges
tions, and extending them to cove
additional sources of loss, farmer
are asked to consider this program
necessary until next harvest, eve
y should peace come before that time
q Besides feeding ourselves, the Unit
! ed States Ii pledged to feed the Al
, lies and We must also supply the pee
pie in territory now being recovere
from German dominion. We mus
q realize that peace will bring no &C
f ditional food but instead increase OF
o legations. Poland, the Balkans an
+ other parts of Europe now isolate
. from relief will clamor for share c
c our present and future reserves.
X Thus st.ict conservation in all foo
" and feeds stored on farms is impers
n fog homes and public eating place
= Compliance with these requests wi
tive in addition to the food progra1
enable the United States to fulf
: present obligations and be ready fl
: new RESPONSIBILITIES.

WEIGHT RESTS ON
AMERICAN FARMER

Upon no one class rests a greater
responsibility than upon the Ameri
can farmer, who with his wives anC
sons and daughters constitutes one
third of our population. He has the
first and great responsibility of pro
viding food for the nation at home
food for the fighting men abroad. ant
food for our allies in the battle line
and their civilian population.
England, with millions of acres Of
parks and hunting grounds converted
into farms can only raise crops tc
feed her people half the year. France
with every man in uniform, and
nearly half her fields overrun by
armies, does even less.
With her grain fields extended by
millions of acres of new land, Ameri
ca is responding to the call and allied
hunger will never be an ally to Ger
many Billions of dollars of Ameri
oa's huge war loans are coming bach
to the farmer in payment for his
grain and stock.
The farmer, for his future honor
and standing in the nation, must sec
that every penny of this sum he car
spare is reinvested in war loans

US, calls for but portion of what
America must spend in war efforts In

get the iron and coal in Northern

will sell the conquered population of

will more than pay for the war. Eng

BOYS TAKE HOLD IN
GOOD OLD AMERICAN
WAY, SOLDIER SAYS
Hardships Ignored, Wounded Man
Tells M0ther-D0n't Let Them
Hinder Your War Work
BY Mrs. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner

From hospital somewhere in
France wounded American has writ.
ten to his parents:
I'VE are going through hardships,
but the boys are taking hold in the
good old American way"
What a message for those of us
who have remained at home What
challenge to the vast army of men
and women who are in the home
guard, carrying on in the thousand
and one ways that the exigencies OF
war have brought upon us.
I'VE are going through hardships."
We can believe that, when we re.
boys have been making over there
and the daily frightening casualty
lists which are resulting from their
fearless devotion to the task that is
set before them.
We know they are going through
hardships, when we stop to think OF
the hundreds upon hundreds who are
wounded, and who for the time be.
ing at least need care and attention
FIENDISH ENEMY
ADDS TERRORS
OF course they are going through
hardships, those boys from your
home and mine. Hardships are
part of war. They are the inevitable
result Of state of war. And when
war is waged by an enemy so skilled
in all the fiendish devitries in
which the Germans have INDUCED,
they are the inescapable portion OF
every soldier participating.
But hardships are not the part OF
the war these soldiers Of ours are
thinking most about. They are but
the incidents in the days work.
"The boys are taking hold in the
good old American way"
Could there be a better statement
Of their manner of facing what comes
to them? Could there be more def
mite course Of action prescribed for
those of us at home during these
days which test the mettle of our
souls?
The time for our message to the
boys has come again. The Fourth
Liberty Loan is to be our response
to this wounded soldiers challenge.

ANSWER NOW
Are we going to take hold in the
good old American way?"
