Lieutenant John Phillip Sousa has
lost his beard.
That beard had become a national
institution. 1t was known wherever
band music was heard. But when he
began training the Jackies of the
Great Lakes Naval Training School
band at the naval training station at
Great Lakes, ILL.,, and took on the title
of lieutenant he left off the beard.
The loss of the jaw adornment was
not accompanied by any loss, how
ever, of the old Sousa knack of get
ting the most out of band that is in
it. Lieutenant Sousa has impaired
all the old fire to the boys of the
naval training station and how faith
fully they have absorbed it will be
seen in many cities and towns of the
Fourth Federal Reserve district dur.
ing the weeks of the Third Liberty
Loan drive. The band is to make a
tour of the district

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

! There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program III
England. 1t is true that the English-
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it Is poorer
bread, and the British government II
paying $2OO,OOO,O0O year toward the
cost of 1t.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This IL
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the aduI-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at 1S cents, the two pound Loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 8
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger sx-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

NEED BIC 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 Europe's 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 a 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 1,SOO. 600
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 2,A00, 600
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain f1elds-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, $17.28 \
November and December, $1608; jan
larry, $14.40. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number Of cattle a.
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war
Where France had 14,8O7 900 head od
cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
1000, a decrease Of 1876 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 produc1
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro-,
ductton of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

Squire Bob Hill, of Muhlenberg
township. Pickaway county, Ohio. has
never made any pretentions to ex
cessive patriotism. He has just lived
along in a quiet sort of way and at
tended to his business, leaving his
patriotism to take care of itself; much
the same as most of us do.
But along about wheat selling time
last winter there was Y. M. G., A.
campaign in. Squire Bob sold his
wheat at $2.25 bushel. 1t was more
than he had ever got for wheat in
all his life.
"I'm not entitled to such a price,
Squire Bob told his friends afterward
81 can make money at dollar a
bushel less. Uncle Sam is entitled to
a part Of this years proceeds"
So he gave the Y. M. C. A. hun
dred dollars. And he might admit
having bought Liberty Bond or two
And he took a fat hog over to Circle
Vile and auctioned 1t off on the pub
lie square, turning over the proceeds
to the Sammies' Christmas fund.
And the funny thing about II all
was that his 500 contribution to the
Y. M. G. A. made some of the
wealthier and more ambitious citi
zens of the township dig down for q
second $50 to keep pace with the
modest squire of Darbyville.
What a pity there aren't more BOZ
Hills scattered around Ohio!

WHAT YOUR BOND PUR
CHASE WILL ACCOMPLISH.

The following figures give one a
definite idea of what his or her
ban to the government by the
purchase of Liberty Bonds will ac-
complish when used by the War
Department:
One $50 bond will buy trench
knives for a rifle company, or %
hand grenades, or IA rifle gre
nades, or 81 cases or surgical in
struments for enlisted mems belts,
or 10 cases of surgical instru-
ments for officers belts.
A 800 bond viii clothe soldier,
or feed a soldier for eight months
or purchase 5 rifles or 80 rife gre
nades, or 43 hand grenades, or q
pounds of either, or 145 hot-watel
bags, or 1000 surgical needles.
A $100 and a $50 bond will
clothe and equip an infantry sol
dier for service overseas, or feed
soldier for year.
TWO 800 bonds will purchase a
horse or ule for Cavalry, Artil-
lery or other service.
Three 500 bonds will clothe a
s,'ier and feed him for one year
in France, or buy motorcycle for
machine gun company.
Four 800 bonds will buy an
N-ray outfit.
One 1900 bond will supply bicy.
cles for the headquarters company
of an Infantry regiment.

MAKING MEATlEsS
DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
fishing dishes, according to q. H. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for i've or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as a ia
voring for other food In making up
meatless menus this author finds our

EVERYBODY MUST HELP.
If You Can't Fight You Must Buy
A BOND.

''It is sacred duty of every
citizen and it should be regarded
as a glorious pr; ,ilege by every
patriot to uphold the govern
ment s credit with the same kind
OF self-sacri6ce and nobility oil
soul that their gallant sons exhibit
when they die for us on the battle
fields Of Europe.
Secretary McAdoo has issued
no stronger call upon the Ameri-
can people 10 support the Liberty
loan. The third loan will soon be
opened. Behind every American
soldier in France, back of every
american sailor on the seas, there
should be worker and a bond
buyer at home. There is the Drawer
part, but we who remain at home
can be no less useful if we exhibit
that self-sacrifice that they dem.
onstrate in risking their lives.
If the American people possess
and put into effective force the
same faith in Americanism that
the Germans show for their kultur,
the struggle between German kul-
tur and American civilization will
be short one and Americas vic
tory overwhelming.
We may be little slow, may
have much inertia to overcome, but
American might, like the mills of
the gods, may grind slowly but
will grind exceeding small.

Almost Like Birds.

1t is little known fact that flying
fish, encountered in the tropics, actu-
ally flap their wings the same as birds.
1t is commonly supposed that the fish
merely volplane, sail, after getting a
good start with rapid swimming. The
Tapping of their wings, however, is so
easily seen that it can be detected
with the naked eye. Also, flying fish
are delicious for the table.
