SECRETARY DANIELS
FEATURES SERVICE
AT TABERNACLE

The spectacle Of the Secretary Of
the Navy clasping the hand OF
Jackie, just off a battleship, on the
stage of the Billy Sunday tabernacle
last night came as a fitting climax to
a night Of thrills that will long be
remembered by those who were there.
Rumors that a supposed German
spT had taken a seat in the section
reserved for Congressman and Gov
ernment officials and had left the
building in q spirit OF displeasure
when Billy's anathemas against the
Kaiser became too warm, closely pur-
sued by Secret Service men, helped to
keep the audience on their toes.
Fully half the trail hitters were
service men and as the Sammies and
Jackies began to saunter down the
sawdust trail Billy leaned, over the
rail and pleaded. Come on Navy and
"Come on Army"
Foster Welch, eighteen years old, a
third-c'ass quartermaster on the u.
s. S. Sussex. stationed in the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard, was the sailor
to be greeted by Secretary Daniels.
Welch was introduced to Mr.. Daniels
by Rhody just as the last of the
trail-hitterB were being introduced"
to Billy.
@GOd Bless You"
God bless you. my boy" was the
secretary's greeting to young Welch.

Blly's sermon. The gist OF 1t was that
instead OF seeking health, wealth.
pleasure, ambition and other worldly
aims We should seek the Lord. who is
much easier Of attainment
Billy said:
II people would seek God like they
seek health and wealth, there wouldn't
be a single soul in hell, nor even on
the road to hell.

CEDAR OF
LEBANON


The writer received this week a
last springs Seeding of Cedar of Le-
banon fgrom C. H. Rintelmann, of
Flushing, n. Y. AS we understand it
there are only nine original Cedar of
Lebanon trees in the United States
like those grown in the Holy Land.
One of these nine trees is located on
an old estate in Flushing, N Y. From
this tree Mr.. Rintelmann has secured
the seed and has been successfully
growing from the seed these beauti-
full historical trees and is making a
success Of growing them. He sent one
of these seedlings so that we might
experiment in trying to grow this
seeding in this altitude and climate.
We planted the Seeding on Wednesday
April "a, 1918, and will report upon
our success or failure upon making
it live. The little Seeding only year
old has nothing remarkable about it
in appearance, but if it grows and de-
velopes into beautiful tree, such as
we have seen in pictures and read a.
bout, this will be the first one to be
established in the state of Wisconsin,
that we know anything about.

FOOD REGULATION A SUCCESS
AND A BENEFIT.

When the British Food Controller
undertook to curtail food consumption
il hotels and restaurants last April,
and to reduce the costs of meals to
customers, the British hosts limited
darkly at the ruination of their busi-
nesses, and declared that the keeping
of food register involved accounting
detail which was al insuperable task.
Now, ten months later it is shown
that regulation has been a success.
Where 10 to II ounces of uncooked
meat were formerly allowed per meal
for each customer, the quantity has
been cut down to ounces each at
lunch and dinner, with ounces for
breakfast and even less meat would
Involve no hardship. Accounting was
troublesome at first, but the hotel and
restaurant men now admit that infor.
nation secured has been of great ben
eft to them in a systematic conduct
OF their business. Where they for
merly ran in haphazard fashion, it is
now possible to adjust supplies to
probable consumption and effect great
economies. Waste has been almost
entirely eliminated and the wider cost
of food counterbalanced, thus ena-
bling hotels to maintain old prices
and hold their customers. If the Pub
lie Meals Register required in war
times were abolished most proprietors
would continue something Of the kind.

WISCONSIN, AND
SUGAR SHORTAGE:
ESTIMATES SHOW NECESSITY OF
60 PER CENT INCREASE IN
BEET SUGAR ACREAGE.

! Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin for some
time has felt the effects Of a sugar
famine.
] Beet sugar companies of Wisconsin,
having carefully gone over the situa-
ton, have outlined plan for the
growing season that will make sugar
famine in Wisconsin next fall absolute
ly impossible.
The State Council Of Defense and
the Wisconsin Department of Agri-
culture and the College of Agri-
culture are cooperating for desired
increased production of beet sugar
this year, and a pampl.iet setting forth
all phases of the situation is being cir
culated by the State Council of De
fense.
According to best estimates, there
must be an increase of so per cent in
beet sugar acreage in Wisconsin in
1918.
In 1917 there was shortage Of $780,,
coo tons below normal requirements.
There can be no sane excuse for this
section of the country suffering fam
inc next fall, if the consumer of sugar,
the business men and the merchants
cooperate to place the seriousness of
this situation before the farmer and
create in the farmer the disposition to
meet this situation in the face of the
, crisis n which the country is involved.
The beet sugar companies, without
any guarantee as to the future price Of
sugar from the United States Food
Administrator, and without demand on
the part of the farmer, have voluntar-
ily offered a contract for the 1913 crop
Of sugar beets, price heretofore IN
heard of, viz, $1,000 per ton, thus put
ting forth every possible inducement
that it could to have the farmers in
crease their planting the coming cam
paign. This price of $1,000 per ton
is 25 per cent higher than in 1917, and
662a per cent higher than in 1916. The
sugar companies will provide the seed
necessary for planting the crop at a
price of 25c per pound, whereas such
seed actually costs the companies soc
per pound. The price per ton means
delivery on board cars at the nearest
shipping point.
The beet sugar companies also take
It upon themselves to furnish the hand
labor needed for care of the beet sugar
crop. The Importance of this one item
Is realized that this labor thus fur
rished also can be used at times for
care of other crops.
