Lacked the Address.

Pat had been intrusted to take a
fine live hare, carefully packed in a
basket, to the station.
His curiosity, however, was arous-
ed and on his arrival at the station
he determined to have look at the
animal Accordingly he gently rails
ed the lid of the basket and peeped
inside.
Just at that moment the hare made
a sudden spring out of the basket
and in a moment was running full
speed along the platform.
Not a bit discouraged, Pat gazed
after his late charge, and, nodding
his head sagely, he exclaimed, oh
ye little spaleen; yez can run like
blazes if ye loike, but it doesn't mat
ter: yez don't have the address. -

Mr.. Tompkins had never given thi:

MIST CUT DOWN WHEAT.
FURTHER REDUCTIONS ASKED
THAT SUPPLY MAY LAST.
Step Absolutely Necessary to Ward
Off Famine From the Allies,
Says Food Administration.

Washington, March 23.-Furthe1
reduction in the consumption OF
wheat was asked of the public tonight
by the food administration that the
scant supplies available before the
next harvest may be stretched to
meet the needs of the army, consum'
ers and the Allies.
Every American is urged to cut his
average ration of wheat by so pei
cent. which would reduce the total
normal consumption of 100000
bushels month to 21 100000. That
gives a ration of not more than R
pounds of wheat products weekly fcr
each person.
Flour sales will be cut to one
eighth of a barrel fer a town con-
sumer and to one quarter of barrel
for country consumer, that retail
ers' stocks may be- distributed to as
great a number as possible.
The wheat content of bakers bread
will be reduced to Is per cent on
April IA, which increases by . per
cent. the amount of substitutes that
must be used.
No Hardship.
Sacrifice in the wheat ration will
entail no hardship in the opinion OF
food administration officials, because
the supply of potatoes, corn, oats and
milk is ample to maintain health.
The full seriousness of the wheat
situation, and some of the difficulties
with which the food administration
has had to contend in warding OIL
famine from the Allies became known
with the announcement of the new
plans.
Cut to The Limit.
With food rations in France and
England cut to the utmost, there has
been constant danger that the United
States could not meet even minimum
demands because of the transport
handicaps. The breakdown in the
railroads upset the corn expectation
schedule so that on March l there
had been sent abroad only 14,000,-
600 bushels, against the 64,OOO,OOO
bushels of last year, and the 10O,-
100000 bushels which it was hoped
to send. Accordingly the foreign
populations have been dependent on
wheat.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-03-28
Vast Amount of Food to Allies.

Statistics compiled by the Food
Administration show that the grand
total of all food exported to the four
allies-the United Kingdom, France,
Italy, and Russia-from July |, 1914,
to January |, 1918, would furnish
complete yearly rations for 81, co.
933 adult persons, with surplus of
protein capable of supplying this por-
ton of the diet for 22,194,547 addi-
tional men.
Since the beginning of the war the
United States has averaged to supply
the allies with food enough each year
to support 16,314,552 persons, and
with an excess of both protein and
fats sufficient for several millions
more.
The total exports of wheat and
wheat -four to the three principal al
lies, Russia getting but very small
per cent of the whole, were equiva-
lent to about 3S4 100000 bushels, or
an average Of about 100000
bushels a year. Of this total amount
the United Kingdom got 145, 5000
bushels of wheat and $4,000 bar
rels of wheat flour; France got 49,
$4,000 bushels of wheat and 5,462,.
900 barrels, of wheat -four; Italy ST.
10000 bushels of wheat and 1885,
900 barrels of wheat -four. Russia
received only 10000 bushels of
wheat and $4,000 barrels of wheat
-four.
The total exports of pork products
were nearly 2,OO0,000,O00 pounds, a
yearly average of about 570,000,o00
pounds. The total sugar exports
were over 100000 pounds, a
yearly average of about 64S,000, 900.
OF corn there were exported 1882
900 bushels; oats, 207;9S1, 900; rye,
100000.

Mrs. Nellie Marie Tibbetts, a resi-
kdent of Kennebunk, Me-. for the last
Quarter of century, who says she is
ninety, told Boston Post reporter
that. she had the "so-called high cost
of living question" solved for the
past dozen years, while State COM
missions and ''lazy women clubs have
been sweating and running around
like red ants on a pantry shelf in the
spring time trying to find out what
the trouble is Mrs. Tibbetts owns
the only hotel in the town.
~Say," she said, ,'I'd just like to
have you go down cellar with me and
take look around-will you?"
Mrs. Tibbetts' marvellous cellar
might have been the headquarters of
the commissary department. of an
army. Foodstuffs were piled high ev-
erywhere, barrels, boxes, cases, cam
ed stuff
''Why did you buy so much?"
asked the reporter.
1'Got the right price" she answer
ed as she took the cover from on a
big washboiler. 'See, matches away
from the rats" she said The boiler
was crammed with the old eight-day
cards of matches-thousands of them.
There were more in old crooks and
pans.
Bought a couple of cords of these
ten years ago and I'm using them
yet,''' she explained. Got them
right
She went on to explain how she
had purchased thirty barrels of flour,
forty-fve tons Of coal. $500 worth
of canned goods, forty-eight jars OF
mustard, fifty pounds of rice, three
gallons of vanilla extract, fifty pounds
of cream of tartar, fifty pounds OF
soda, nine barrels of sugar, fourteen
half barrels Of lard.
t'Put something in the bank every
week and don't get hypnotized with
visions of interest" she advised. '"Af
ter you get little in the bank study
the market. In year food goes VI
and down. 1t always does this. Take
your money out when some food i:
at a low price and buy generously o
it. Then you'll have it and you dom
care hang if it goes up to to 100 il
the shade 1t has got to come doW1
again. but with a lot on hand you will
be able to get through the high
prices"

CARoLINIAN why RIDGE HERO
Wounded Three Times, One of Four
Survivors of His Company.

Aiken, March 16.-Private Henry
G.. McMichael, of the Fifteenth Ca
madam regiment, wounded at the bat
tie of Vimy Ridge and invalided home
with an honorable discharge, has re-
turned to Graniteville, Aiken county,
where he has lived since boyhood
until six years ago when he entered
the service of the United States army.
Serving for three years with the
United States army, during part
of which he was stationed on the
Mexican border-while Huerta held
sway over the destinies of the land
of the Montezumas after overthrow
imp NIadero-McMichae was dis
charged and in 1915 went to Cana
dian overseas forces. He was two
years and three months in Europe,
seven months of which he spent in
England while his regiment was un-
dergoing intensive training to fit
the men for the strenuous work Of
hand to hand fighting with the Bo-
ches.
Private McMichael has wonderful
story to tell. He has been through
the fire and though he came out bad
ly scorched he has the distinction of
being one of the four left alive out of
his original company. Except for four
himself and three other comrades
all the brave Canadians of his COM
pany who crossed overseas with him
and went into action so fearlessly in
Flanders and Belgium lie beneath the
lilies of France.
Private McNichael was wounded
three times in action. Twice at the
battle of Ypres he sustained wounds,
which being slight, sent him to the
hospital for only short stays, at the
end of which he went back to the
trenches. For IS months he was in
the front line, in the thick of the
most fearful fighting that the world
has ever known, in France and in Bel
GUM. Then, at the battle of Vlmy
Ridge, he was shot down, and If the
bullet that tore through his face did
not incapacitate him for further fight
ing, the wound in his leg from which
he will never fully recover brought
him his honorable discharge.
Back home among his own people,
Private McMichael has little patience
with those who grumble because of
the hardships the war has brought
to them, for, as he says, he has seen
at first hand what the people of Eng
land, France and Belgium are forced
to endure and it is his opinion tnat
the people of this country-especially
Of this part of the country-are to-
day the most fortunate people in the
world. He speaks in terms Of the
highest praise of the heroic endur-
ance of the French people and of the
undying valor of the French SOL
diery, which, he says, must be shared
with the British Tommies and the
daredevil Canadian troops, all first
class fighting men.
Private McMichael is to be married
on Easter Sunday to the sweetheart
of his youth, Miss Burnett, of Gran
iteville. who has been waiting for
him through the years that he has
been campaigning along the Rio
Grande under the Stars and Stripes
and while he has been earning the
kings shilling in France and Bel
gium.
