Wake Up, America.

For long while we have claimed
for ourselves the position of the
leading nation of the world, and we
are undoubtedly the richest. But
riches is not the highest mark OF
greatness. Right now our love of
freedom is at test, and the oppor-
tunity to lend our money to our
government will prove US as nothing
else can. To show just what we are
doing and what others have done we
should every one remember that
France recently floated her eighth
loan of six billions, all of them OF
equal amount, and she did the job
in just one day. If our sister Re-
public, with all it has suffered and
lost, can do this splendid act, it
surely would be little in US to fail,
in longer period, to raise ou1
smaller aggregate amount, while our
largest single allotment. While the
outlook is not as bright as it should
be, there is no doubt our bonds will
be oversubscribed, but thousands OF
names which should be on the honor
roll will not be there at all.

Third Loan Records.

The carefully compiled reports Of
the Third Liberty Loan show that the
farmers got into the game, organized
themselves as carefully and as thor
Cughly as the city population and then
went out anu got the money. Since
that time they have perfected their Or
CARNATIONS in carrying on the War
Savings Stamp sales. These organ!za-
tons have been kept together and
were in readiness to be used when the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive opened,

In farm clubs and oranges, farmers
leagues and societies of equity the
question is already being discussed,
How much can we put into tho
Fourth Loan?" This is the way one

flee to buy bonds? The boys over
there are sacrificing their all-even

Gasoline Saving Disappointing.

The gasless Sundays are not pro-
ducing the savings contemplated,
making the situation very serious,
and newspaper reports indicate that
au order will likely be issued STOP
ping the sale of any gas to pleasure
cars, and placing trucks on card
system. This was contemplated In
the beginning, but it was hoped
the shortage could be overcome by
gasless Sunday. The observance
here IS getting lax, and there were
more cars in evidence last Sunday
than even on the first day.

to be the big months in holiday

SERIOUS FOOD SHORTAGE.
LIKELY TO CONTINUE FOR THE
NEXT SIXTY DAYS.
Says only Solution is Greatly lncreas'
ed Rail Movement East TO ENlu-
sion of Much Other Commerce.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The east
ern half of the United States faces a
food. shortage likely to continue for
the next sixty days.
In making this disclosure tonight
Food Administrator Hoover declared
that the situation is the most critical
in the country's history and that in
many of the large consuming areas
reserve food stores are at the point
Iof exhaustion.
The whole blame is put by the food
administrator on railroad congestion,
which, he says, has also thrown the
food administration far behind in it's
progress for feeding the Allies. The
only solution, he says, is a greatly
increased rail movement of foodstuffs
even to the exclusion of other COM
merce.
McAdoo Ready to Cooperate.
It was very evident tonight that
the railroad administration is in
clined to resent Mr.. Hoover's blame
OF the railroads, and Director General
McAdoo declared he was ready to
provide every transportation facility
for expediting food movement. The
railroad administration, he said, had
suggested that farmers be urged to
release their grain holdings that
large numbers of available cars might
be utilized in moving the crop.
Inability to move the crops, MIR.
Hoover sets forth, has suspended the
law of supply and demand and has
created price margin between pro-
ducer and consumer, wider than it
was ever before.
Corn Spelling.
A large part of the. corn crop is
about to spoil because it is not. NOV
ing to terminals for drying. The per-
5centage. of soft corn in last years
crop all of which must be dried II II
is to be moved, is the largest ever
known. Estimates place the amount
as high as a billion bushels.
The cost of grains for feeding live
stock has increased to such an ex-
tent by reason of transportation diff
culties, Mr.. Hoover says, that feed
ersz are confronted with the prospect
of serious losses. Dairying interests
TOO. he declares, are hard hit.
s., Potatoes, the food administrator
declares, are spelling in the pro-
,ducers' hands, while consumers have
been supplied only from summer gar
den crops and stores carried over.

Pioneer Slackers.

The man who seeks to avoid mill
tary service by every possible means
has been heard from in all lands and
ages. He was a familiar figure in
previous chapters of American his
tory. When the expedition against
Quebec was being organized in the
middle of the eighteenth century tie
Stacker was in evidence. A news
paper printed in New Haven during
1853 contains this note:
"About 100 men who left their
habitation in this colony in order to
avoid the necessary defense and mill
tary service of their country and fled
into the New York government were
taken up and pressed into service OF
that province, according to. law
there subsisting. And it is hoped
that wherever these disloyal, coward
ly deserters fly they will in like
manner be taken up, so thay they
must either fight for their country
or desert to the French and fight
against it,
Later, when the colonies rebelled
against British rule, the Provincial
Congress took notice of the shirker
in set of rules regarding recruits,
the first two of which read as fol-
lows:
You are not to enlist any man
who is not able-bodied, healthy and
a good marcher, but as men of good
appearance may have complaints
which render them incapable of a
soldiers duty, you must give atten-
ton, that you may not be imposed
upon, and take the opinion Of a
surgeon where there is room for
suspicion
Rule gives this advice: "You will
have a great regard to moral charac-
ter, sobriety in particular; let our
manners distinguish us from our
enemies, as much as the cause we
are engaged in"

The Gypsy's Prophecy.

1t was a beautiful morning IN Au-
gust, Lord Brackington was motor
ing across the broad expanse OF a
moor in Scotland. With him in the
ear, besides the chauffeur, were three
ladies-his wife. his wife's sister
and cousin. The automobile
suddenly stopped. There was some
thing out of order with the mechan-
ism which could be adjusted in a
few minutes; and as the chauffeur
threw of his coat and went to work
Lord Brackington and the ladies
walked on, directing the chauffeur
to follow them when the necessary
repairs were completed.
b Just after they had passed turn
In the road and the car was no long
er in sight they came upon band OF
gypsies led by an elderly woman who
Eaccosted them and wanted to tell
their fortunes. The ladies declined
to have their fortunes told, but Lord
Brackington offered the gypsy half a
crown if she would tell him when the
great war was going to end.
l'On the 18th of November next, -
said the gypsy.
t'Nonsense!" said Lord Bracking-
! ton; sif you mean the 18th Of Novem-
: Der next year, I might believe you;
but this year never! Your prophecy
cant be, true"
"It is true, my lord,'' exclaimed
the gypsy. ''It is a strue as it is
that at this very minute your chauf-
feur lies dead under your cart"
"Now I know that you are. talking
nonsense" responded Lord Bracking-
ton. 1--WE left our ,chaffeur less
!, than ten minutes ago and he was as
much alive as YOU are. But here is
: the half crown for your trouble;;"
and with this the automobile party
turned back to meet their car.
AS it came into view, standing
where they had left it when they
passed the turn in the road, they
were rather startled to observe that
the chauffeur was nowhere in sight
"Oh, he is at work under the car,
said Lady Brackington; but never
theless they hurried on.
When they reached the car the
chauffeur was under it-but not at
work. He lay there dead.

FIRST SHIPMENT OF PLANES.
Fighting Machines Built in America
Now En- Route to France.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The first
American built battle planes are en-
route to France, nearly five months
ahead of the original schedule.
In making this announcement to-
night, Secretary Baker said the first
shipment, although in itself not
large, marked the final overcoming
of many difficulties met in building
up this/new and intricate industry.
Liberty Motors.
These planes" Mr.. Baker said,
ARE equipped with the first liberty
motors from machine production.
One of them in a recent test surpass-
ed all records for speed and climbing
for planes of that type. Engine pro-
duction, which began month ago,
is now on a quantity basis and the
peak of production will be reached
in a few weeks. Only the twelve
cylinder type is being made, as devel-
opments abroad have made it wise to
concentrate on the high powered en-
CINE instead of the eight-cylinder." ,"
Optimistic as these statements ap-
pear, the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be
considered in the light of these facts:
Figures on Planes.
That after three years of warfare
the total number of planes able to
take the air at any one time on eth
er side of the western front has not
been more than $500. g
That forty-six are required on the
ground for every plane in the air,
making a total of $4,000 men need
ed for the present maximum of g.
500 planes.
That for every plane in the air,
there must be two replacement planes
on the ground and one training plane
for every pilot who eventually reach
es the front, with a spare engine for
each plane.
Chief Problem.
After reviewing the many obstacles
that had to be overcome in getting
the aircraft production program un-
derway, Mr. Baker said the great
problem now remaining is to secure
the thousands of skilled mechanics,
enginemen, motor repairmen, wood
and meta! workers, etc., needed to
keep the planes in perfect condition
and without which the machines turn
ed out soon would be useless and the
fliers helpless. ..
cat best" said the secretary, "the
life of plane is but two months and
the engine must be overhauled after
seventy-fve hours, while pilot on
plane allowed to leave the hangers
in imperfect condition is as helpless
as bird with a broken wing.
MechanlcS NeeQeu.
Nov that American battle planes
are going overseas, a great increase
in the volunteering of skilled mechan-
les is both essential and expected"
During the past months" Mr..
Baker said, "a responsive channel of
Communication with the Allies has
been opened, the latest types of for
eign machines have been adapted to
American manufacture, the industry
increased at least twenty-fold, the
training plane problem solved and
the production of battle planes be-
gun.
American battle planes were not
due in France Under the original
schedule until July.
