U. s. CUTS EEEF RATICl
TO MEET OVERSEAS NEED

Washington.-In urging further re-
striction in beef consumption and
sanctioning a somewhat freer use of
= fresh pork, bacon, ham and sausage,
the Food Administration shows how
its conservation orders to Americans
at home can no more be unchange-
able than can the operation orders of
generals at the front The latest an
nouncement from Herbert Hoover
says:
1.-THE public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
situation in shipping and, therefore,
of the markets available to the Allies,
and the increasing demand for our
growing army, with the fluctuating
supply Of local beef in France, all
make it impossible to determine poll
cies for long period in advance. We
have recently asked for economy in
all meat consumption; We wish now
to emphasize further reduction of
beef by the substitution Of pork. 1t
is anticipated that this program will
hold good until September Is, and
the cooperation of the public is most
earnestly requested"
The demand for beef for our army
and the allies for this summer is be-
you'd our present supplies. Therefore,
a more limited beef allowance is i'm
perative until an ample overseas sup
ply is assured.
Householders are requested not
under any circumstances" to buy
more than one and one-Quarter pounds
of clear beef weekly, or one and one
half pounds, including the bone, for
each person in the household.
Hotels and restaurants are asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly, beefsteak more
than one meal weekly and roast beef
more than one meal weekly.

LIFE PRIMITIVE AND RUGGED
Scenes on Bosom Of Russla's Mighty
River Cannot Be Duplicated
Anywhere on Earth.

The days on the Volga are as alike
as the white towns strung on the Volga
chain, and all laden with sense Of
life, sluggish and primal and poten-
tial. The scent Of pines, of new-mOwn
hay, Of drying nets, and the fragrance
Of lilies; brawny red-shirted sailors
shouting and splashing each other with
water as they scrub the decks; the
whistling Of grain steamers; the sound
Of hammers from barges building along
the shore; anchor chains rafting as
we drop into the wharf where fisher
men are unloading their shining catch.
It is robust river life, not familiar,
but transposed into strange keys and
staged largely.
The RATS seemed the most essen
TALLY Russian part of the Volga. We
had seen them before. Gargantuan
yellow logs, as delicious looking as
taffy, dragged from forest in, Tver
and bound together with saplings, each
raft bearing a tiny hut for the fam
lilies who make the journey with the
RATS to the sea. Now we met them
on the river, peopled with rollicking
figures, who balanced themselves with
long poles and laughed and shouted
unintelligible cries to us as the surge
of the steamer threatened their foot
hold.
The crackers, borilaki, we never say;
.debased men Of herculean strength,
muscles knotting in their hairy threats,
thews straining like horses against the
dead weight of the barges as Riepin
had painted them. They have passed
with the sails. But the other figures
ton the RATS, in the fishing boats-are
their brothers. And never have felt
life emerging so freshly from the black
mold.-Olive Gilbreath in the Yale Re
view.

Benefit Of AT Education.

A glimpse at the development o.
trade in European countries, in which
industrial art has played such an i'm.
portant role, is full of suggestion to us.
When Germany discovered at the Paris
exposition in 1878 how crude and in
artistic her exhibits were, her greatest
artists, laying aside their easels and
canvases, began designing textiles, wall
paper, furniture and advertisements.
The results of these activities we wit
messed In the German Applied Arts
exhibition held In oil our large cities a
few years ago. BY means Of intensive
art education in Prussia the trade
routes Of the world were changed in
favor Of Germany. Trade in toys was
diverted from Switzerland, in printing
materials from England, and in dress
trimmings from France. In France and
England in similar way trade has
been developed through attention to
art education.

Joined in the struggle. Ireland, hav-

guarantees: and experience has taught
us that justice (much less gratitude)
is not to be wrung from a hostile
Government. What ireland is to give

lreland's Appeal to the United States.
We are sadly aware, from recent
proclamations and deportations, of
the efforts of British authorities to
lnflame prejudice against our coun-
try. We. therefore, crave allowance
briefly to notice the insinuation that
the Irish coasts. With native conniv-
ance, could be made base for the de-
struction Of American shipping. An
official statement asserts that:
can important feature in every
plan was the establishment of sub
marine bases in Ireland to menace
the shipping of all nations"
On this it is enough to say that
every creek, inlet, or estuary that in
dents our shores, and every harbor,
mole, or jetty, is watchfully patrolled
by British authority. Moreover, Irish
vessels, with their cargoes, crews and
passengers. have suffered in this war
proportionately to those of Britain
Another State paper palliates the
deportations by blazoning the descent
of solitary invader upon a remote
island on April -. heralded by mys-
FERROUS warnings from the Admiralty
to the Irish Command. No discussion
is permitted of the tryst of this Brit
ish soldier with the local coastguards,
of his speedy bent towards a police
barrack, and his subsequent confiden-
ces with the London authorities.
Only one instance exists in history
of a project to profane our coasts by
making them a base to launch attacks
on international shipping. That plot
was framed. not by native wickedness,

Notice to Subscribers.

The attention of subscribers is called
to ruling of the U. S.. government
that owing to shortage of print paper
newspapers cannot be sent through the
mails unless paid for in advance. Pub
fishers of country weeklies, therefore,
are face to face with serious crisis.
Some will be ruined and al suffer finan-
cial hardship unless delinquent SUBJ
scribers respond to their aid. Of course
every publisher feels his family of pat
rons are honest and loyal to his paper
and they will promptly remit past dues
with year in advance, thus complying
to the war time ruling. The date on
the label to your paper should tell you
how your account stands.
We trust our patrons will accept
these regulations with the same spirit
and cheerfulness as they do other nee
essary war time restrictions.

Tuesday, October 9Th, is the date
set for the opening of the drive.
Pledge your future earnings and saw
ings to insure your future safety.
Those at the front are giving 100 per
cent of effort, and if necessary will
give life itself. Let each of US give
100 per cent also. If we shirk our duty
now, we must pay the penalty here
after. A personal responsibility rests
upon each as it never did before. Con-
slider the matter carefully, seriously,
and be prepared to subscribe your full
quota.
Sixty citizens, chosen from every
station and occupation, have been Sc
lected as solicitors. When they call on
you, don't take up their time in argu
ment, pay promptly and let them pass

task; help make it as light as possible.
Subscriptions and payments should
be made only to the authorized solic-
itors. Banks will not accept applica
tions unless approved as to amount by
