WARTIME BANQUETS

The food administration has set down hard
Ipon unnecessary convention entertainment,
elaborate banquets, and family and statesmen s

ness, real business, participated in solely by those
representatives Of member firms having the
power TO decide and act with all extraneous side
lights or high lights eliminated, says the admin
lstration
II entertainment is osught, it is always in the
power OF the individual attendant upon such
gatherings a secure the variety of pleasure he
prefers, but there is no necessity for-and, in
act, there is distinct reason why there should

lures for many varieties of food and the accom-
panylng beverages. This was proved conclusive
" at conventions of large associations held last
1ail' "nen many of the usual pre-War banquet
concomitants were omitted without loss.
In response to recent inquiry concerning ban
luets the food administration stated
The food administration wants the American
eopie to eat wisely and well and without waste
our people ought to eat in such way as to

bad. But it is not necessarily bad merely be-
cause it affords an occasion for members OF a
convention or others to gather at pleasant
meal Many banquets have been made the means
of attractivey and effectively presenting the
gospel of food conservation.
"The food administration has approved many
menus for large dinners of marked simplicity,
which invariably have been well received.
IF there must be "banquets'' at the fall con
ventions, why not the conservation banquet,
with patriotic menu?

MOORE HAvEN's NEWEST ACTIVITY

The vast expanse of waste vegetation of the
Everglades is to be put to practical use II the
plans of James A. Moore materialize. A COM
pany with capitalization of S125,000 has been
formed to convert the saw grass of the flooded
prairies into paper. plant is being erected at
Moore Haven, magic city of the Everglades, and
Moore believes Florida's most important manu-
featuring industry will develop on the shores OF
Lake Okeechobee.
Moore is dreamer the practical sort.
Several years ago he made trip through the
Everglades and saw great possibilities where
others had failed. He built model city in the
rail connection with the outside world and started
development project of great magnitude.
He planted large acreage to every crop that
would grow on the rich mucklands-said to be
the most fertile soil in the world. He established
a great stock farm; built schools and churches
and factories and has kept Moore Haven ever in
the limelight-even to the extent of giving it the
first woman mayor in Florida.
His critics say that his one purpose has been
to sell land and reap promoters profit. His adj
mirers say that the sale of land is incidental to
his big undertaking. They look upon Moore
as the benefactor of the state, bent upon develop
ing what he considers to be the most promising
spot in the world.
Some of his projects have not been entirely
successful, others have made wonderful progress.
The future of the saw grass conversion process
is problematical.
The fiber of the native grass of the Everglades
has long been recognized as suitable for certain
grades of paper and its use has been advocated
for certain textiles but until now there has been
no process that would make it's use commercially
profitable. If the process has been discovered
the future of the industry is great.
The supply Of raw material is unlimited while
the materials used for paper making are con-
stantly becoming scarcer and more difficult to
obtain.
While it is too early to predict the outcome of
Moore Ravens latest activity, there is fair posi-
bity that it will make Florida one of the import
ant paper producing centers of the country

JOYCE KILMER

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 One of the younger American poets, with perhaps the best that was in him still unwritten, Joyce Kilmer has now, like other men of brilliant intellect, made the supreme sacrifice for his country. The news of his death at the front will cause wide regret, for he had many per sonal friends as we'll as those he had made by his writings. MT. Kilmer did many things we'll. His work as an edito- rial writer on the New York Times was supplemented by sketches and articles in magazines and other publications by which he became well known to a large number of readers. No doubt his work in verse was nearest to his heart. It was graceful and delicate, perhaps, rather than subtle; but it revealed in $ marked way the gift of seeing the poetic in com mon things-a gift that made for the naturalness and sincerity which can re- deem even mediocre verse from futility. MT. Kilmer's verse was not mediocre. and in much of it there were gleams of rich imagination which was full of promise for the future.

same firm is "war edition" of popu- lar music, which requires one-half the white paper needed for the regular two-page editions now in use. By this plan the firm saved from 300, ,000 to 100000 pounds of paper a year. We are told that if all other music pub fishers adopted two-page and "war edition" music they could save from 3,00o,000 to 4,00o,oo0 pounds of white paper per annum.
 Few people realize how much white paper is consumed annually in pub fishing sheet music. While newspaper publishers naturally lead all others in paper consumption, it is possible for every firm in the country, as well as every individual, to cooperate in saw ing paper. In pre-war times the waste was appalling.

Best Fed Fighting
 Men in the World

TN war times rumors are common
 4 that our fighting men are under fed or rationed on unsound food. But no one familiar with actual conditions l in the subsistence division of the war department today or who hears from the "boys" at the front has paid any attention to rumors or insinua- tions.
 Nevertheless rumors were so wide | ly circulated throughout the country to the effect that the linen over there" were not properly fed as to prompt the Christian Herald of New York to undertake a thorough investiga- tion and publish the facts. The re- suit showed that conditions as to food I"were not only favorable, but ad- mirable."
 The Christian Herald's edition con- taining its statment was printed in July and was in such demand that 1 the issue was soon exhausted. In order to give the facts wider publicity the Christian Herald has reprinted its report.
 America has the best fed army and
 navy in the world. The quartermaster
 corps is operating in France "a huge general store," at which our soldiers
 have the opportunity of supplying themselves, in addition to ample and
 we'll selected rations, with merchan- disc, which includes delicacies at low Iprices. The highest grade of mer-
 chandise only is carried in stock.
 Price lists are published weekly. They
 are made available to each company
 and purchases may be made either
 for cash or on credit.
 Nothing is too good for our fighters land it is source of qualification to
 the American public to know that the
 army and navy are getting the best. l The rationing of millions of men is
 a stupendous undertaking, but so we'll
 organized is the commissary division
 land so mindful of the comforts of the
 men are the officers of the quarter
 masters corps that the service has
 Approached the ideal.
 The Christian Herald is to be cor dially commended for its enterprise in presenting facts as an offset to "wild rumors."

STORY OF DANIEL w. VOORHEES,

From law lecture by ex-Senator James
 O'Gorman, printed in Bench and Bar. IT HAVE said that to excel in the work H of an advocate requires unusual tall ents. [. This reminds me of a case that was tried some years ago in Indian arolis Ex-Senator Voorhees, was very able jury lawyer. They called him the "Tall Sycamore of the wabash For many years he was in Congress, and for a time he was in the United States Sen ate. He was very eloquent and powerful and magnetic with the jury. And the story is told that in the early seventies he was defending a man for murder. The evidence was all circumstantial. The feeling engendered by the Civil war was still prevalent. The defendant took the stand and denied any complicity in the crime. MT. voorhees asked him but few questions, and turned him over to the district attorney.
 The district attorney proceeded to in terrogate the defendant at length. He thought the man was guilty. and he was going to convict him if he could. He began by asking where he was born and when and where he attended school and where he went to work after leaving school And after asking numerous aues- tions, he brought down his life's history to 1861. He then said, What were you

THE SENIOR SENATOR

of New Jersey, Morgan of Alabama, Matt Ransom of North Carolina, Dan Voorhees, of Indiana, Edward Douglass White Of Lonuisiana, now chief justice of the su- preme court of the United States. Kyle of South Dakota was an Independent; William Alfred Peffer, the bewhiskered populist. was fresh man with Gallin- admission of South Dakota; he was then classed as a republican. What he has been since and is now nobody but Petit grew can remember, and nobody else cares.
 The names of Stanford. of John P. Jones back memories of romance in American industry and American politics. Of their kind we shall see no more; not a book, but library, would be needed to tell the stories of their adventures. their ad- vancements, their successes and their failures.
 In such society Senator Gallinger grew up, active in the formulation of measures dealing with finance, the procedure of the Senate and appropriations for tho support of the government At this mo- ment it is well to recall that he was consistent advocate of upbuilding the American merchant marine. Had his views prevailed, we should today be add ing to respectable fleet of ocean goirg steamships, not creating such fleet o'.t of the raw. Born Canadian of Amer ican stock, he knew no hyphen; he was an American from the ground up. His partisanship was never concealed; he never had cause to feel shame for it; but when the nation went to war he went to war wit hit, holding back nothing in support of the govei nment because Of personal or party politics.
 The Senate changed during the period of his membership Popular election ok it's members became fact. This was to have raised the level of senatorial pa triotism, ability and independence. A quarter of a century from now will the roll of the Senate of 1913 stir as maisy memories, reveal as many men of endur- ing fame. as that of the same body ln lo91 does today? It may be; giants may reveal themselves; but the Senate Jacoo H. Gallinger entered was at least as memorable as that from which he has departed after his long, honorable an1 valuable service.

France Increases While
 Germany Cuts Ration

M USTRIA cut down her army ra- 6A tion several weeks ago and an other cut is foreshadowed.
 Germany has just reduced her bread |ration. France, in the meantime, ac- cording to special cable dispatch from Paris to the New York Sun, plans to increase her bread allowance to 300 grammes a person daily. The conditions which make Frances new rationing schedule possible are the abundant crops in that country, the wheat yield being estimated at 5, ,5OO, ,OOO tons, an increase of 25 per cent over last year. The Suns dis patch says that one thing that stands out in the food situation in France is the recognition of gratitude toward the United States, the people realiz- ing that American aid made the inn proved condition possible"
 But increased food production in this country will still be needed to feed our soldiers and supply such of the allied nations as may be deficient in food harvests in 1919. As large as the crops in the United States have been this year, corn and wheat acre. age should be materially extended for next years crops. If the food admin istration's appeal meets with general response the wheat harvest, with favorable season, will reach new high record. A billion and a quarter bushels will not be too much to ex- pect.
 l., the wheat belt large acreage is always sown, but the states in which wheat has not been "a leader" should come we'll to the front in 1919. Ala bama's crop this year shows large million and half bushels as compared with little less than million bushels in 1917, and only about half million bushels in 1916.
 Alabama should come into the four Tor five million-bushel class. It may take time to get up to such . record.

 the republican side were such men as

WOMAN WRITER'S INCREASE 'om the Indianapolis News.


 Further signs of the Emancipation of women are seen on the covers of new books and magazines. The names of wcmen authors, except in the case of the war books where the women are at disadvantage, seem to outnumber the men, In no class of writing are the wom- en urrepresented. For many years wom- en have been writing novels and doing a good job of it more than occasionally, as readers of Jane Austen, George Eliot, will bear witness. Among contemporaries there are perhaps as many women nov elists from whom a skillful and high class work can be expected as there are men.
 Until a few years ago the woman play. wright was more or less of rarity Looking back over the history of the the atre 1t will be difficult for the average person to recall single feminine name that stands out prominently through con- year several of the most stimulating and interesting plays seen in Indianapolis were by women writers. Names of wom- ell dramatsts on Broadway theatre signs are almost as common as those of men.
 The woman writer might be expected to find the most inviting field for. her energies in the women's magazines or in the publications devoted to fluffy tales of love. She has not neglected her opportunities there, but she shows no inclination to confine herself to special audience. The radical publications, de- voted more or less faithfully to the so- lution of sociological problems, find her a frequent contributor. Of the four or five leading articles in a representative issue of a journal of this class that brides itself on it's ability to see things free from passion or prejudice. two were by women and another name was non- con,mittal as to sex Women have even broken into the broken numbers of the new poetry. One of the most puzzling and highly accredited, by the chosen few. among the makers of vers fibre is a weman. Some others besides the dis placed elevator operators and street car conductors will have to bestir themselves to meet competition.
