General Pershing Insists that Letter.
Be Written Home.

"Duty to ones country does not
end on the parade ground, nor even
on the battle field, but consists in do
ing everything in ones power to help
win the war; says an order issued by
Gen. P~ershing, a copy of which has
been received by the War Depart
ment.
"To write home frequently and
regularly to keep in constant touch
with family and friends is one of the
soldiers most important duties.
Mothers and fathers will suffer if
they do not hear often from sons
fighting in France. In the present
large companies it is not possible for
officers to write letters for their men,
and every man must do it for him

LILLIAN ADDISON

On the 26th day Of June, 1918, the
death angel visited the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Addison and took
from their presence their little baby
girl, Lillian. Her condition was very
serious and was not sick but a short
while. Loving hands had done all
they could to stay the hand of death.
But God knew best and took the
little one to dwell with Him, where
there will be no more suffering or
dying. The remains were laid to
rest in Union cemetery, services be-
ing conducted by Rev. J. w. Mon
Afghan. Many friends gathered to
pay their last tribute of respect.
Live up to God to sin no more,
To meet those loved ones,
Who have gone on before.

LOBSTER PROPAGATION.

Over 1,o0O seed Holsters have been
liberated along the Maine coast re-
Gently, and an additional 1900 are
ready as soon as the authorization of
the commission of sea and shore fish
cries is obtained for their liberation,
says the Fishing Gazette.
Every one of these has been
marked, and as they are the property
of the state Of Maine it will be nec
essary for all lobster fishermen who
may gather them in their traps to re-
lease them or stand the penalty of q
$50 fine which was provided IN a new
law enacted at the last session Of the
Maine legislature.
The 1000 female Holsters that
we're liberated recently were the first
to be given the special marking, a
small hole having been punched
through the middle fipper, and those
later to be released will have the
same marking.

MONGCLlAN

The manner Of buying and paying
for Mongolian produce is unique.
Mongolia is still divided into tribes,
and most Of the tribal business is
done by chiefs or princes. It is Gus
tornary to make contracts in ad-
vance with the princes for any large
quantity of goods, and the princes
collect from their subjects the things
that are desired. These contracts
may be guaranteed by the central
government at Urga, which consists
of a ministry of five men, including
the head lama of Mongolia. 1t is
said that no contract guaranteed by
the central government has ever been
broken, and very few Of the contracts
with princes without the guaranty.

TURN TO AMERICAN MUSIC
Singers Beginning to Realize That
Harmony Need Not Necessarily
Be "Made in Germany"

For the last 80 years Or more the
American public has been taught to
believe that a successful song recital
would be impossible without the mu-
sic of Schubert, Schumann and
Brahms. To sing Schubert and
Schumann became a fetish with con-
cert and recital singers. The people
who cared little or nothing at all for
music they could not appreciate or
understand, were nevertheless COM
PEELED to swallow it, even though
sugar coated. Excuses made to ap-
pease the public were to the effect
that the musical cupboard was bare
without them. Now that public sem
timent, aroused by the war, has COM
PEELED recitalists to set aside their
ultra-German songs and substitute
something else, they have gotten
busy and have found a wealth Of
good material, much of which is by
American composers, and American
in sentiment, the Des Moines Capt.
tai observes. Now it is found to be
good enough to sing, by even such
singers as Schumann-Heink and
other foreigners, and has convinced
our musical nincompoops that have
fawned and spooned over everything
foreign, that we have something in
our music worth while after all.

FEEDING CATTLE FROM CARS
Beet Pulp Given to Animals While
They Are Still on the Tracks,
to Save Fodder.

The desert cattle ranchers of Ari-
zona and New Mexico have learned,
says the Popular Science Monthly,
that to raise cattle is one business,
and to fattenc them is another. For
this reason, they ship their cattle to
California, where sugar beet pulp is
obtained in abundance. One factory
is located near the fields where the
beets are grown. The cattle are
turned into this field after the beets
are harvested.
Under the fence is placed a trough
which projects outside of the fence
just enough to allow the beet pulp to
be thrown into it from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory
to the field and follow the fences
around the corral. More space
thus obtained for the beef eaft
feed, and there is but little waste III
fodder. In these war DAYS tile cat
tlemen are learning to conserve
stock food, as the cattle themselves
are conserved for our use.

PLANT PRODUCES RED INK.

A plant known as "irguan' which
produces red ink that is adaptable to
various uses has been discovered ii
T'%ecambaro, state of Michoacan,
Mex, according to a dispatch from
Vice Consul Luther X. Zabriskie of
Mexico City. The propaganda in Ia
cambaro is said to have informed the
Mexican director general of agricul-
ture of the fact and requested that
some one be designated to make Il
careful study of the plant 50 as to as
certain whether it may be used in
any Of the industries, and also to
find out whether or not it can be
transplanted to other chimes. The
director general, it is said, will de-
tail a specialist to study and report
on the subject.

CO Gvu. r3!aT IN UNIFORM
1T Least Man Who Is Compelled to

Lot of Thinking.

George Bernard Shaw has some
femarks to make on dress in the New
Republic, and incidentally ridiculous
uniforms, especially those III at
Elton, which he calls the penguin
style.

that there is not great convenience

Of a woman is that when you are
going out in the evening you never
have to think of what you will wear.
You have no choice; it is the regula-
ton evening dress or nothing if you
have pawned it you must just stay at
home. This saves a lot Of thinking
and choosing. But the same thing
may be said for the dress of a con-
Wet. The same thing may be said
for the life Of a slave. He. too, never
has to think or choose; he just does
what he is told; and there is an end
of it. If a slave is not too hard
worked, and has enough to eat, and
clothes enough to Keep himself warm,
he has what many people consider a
very easy life. He escapes what the
poet Cowper called the intolerable

New Coffee Crop.

The ~flnanciers and officials Of Brazil
are considering the possibility that g.
100000 bags Of the new crop of coffee
may have to be held, and are devising
proper means to handle the situation,
so that prices may not fall to.a ruin
ously low point. 1t seems to have been
determined that the surplus should be
handled through a system of govern
ment warehouses, which would S o con-
troll the entire crop that large quanti-
ties would not be dumped on the mar

MEDAL OF HDN0R VEL WON
Steamfitter's Bravery Promptly Y
Fittinaly Recognize by the
United States Government.

The honor of receiving the first
medal Of honor awarded during the
val with Germany belongs to Pat
rick McGunigal, a ships filter, first
class, attached to the U. S. S. Hunt
ington, who received this token for
extraordinary heroism. Early in
September, while the ship was pass
ing through the war zone, a kite bal
loon was sent up with Lieut.. Henry
W. Hoyt, U. S. n, as observer.
When 400 feet up, the temperature
dropping, the balloon descended goo
feet and was struck by a squall. 1t
started on a nose dive to the sea and
was rolling over. Tangled ropes
overhead made it impossible for the
pilot to get out of the basket which
trailed in the water, while the man
thus held a prisoner was submerged.
With great daring McGunigal
climbed down the side of the ship,
jumped to the ropes leading to the
basket, and cleared the tangle.
Reaching the pilot, McGunigal
placed a bowline around the exhaust
ed mans waist and he was safely
hauled to the deck. Another bow
line was lowered to McGunigal and
he was taken aboard. In making
the medal award Secretary of the
Navy Daniels referred to McGuni-
gals act in rescuing this young Of
fcer as an extraordinary exhibition
of self-sacriice, as the steamfitter
knew that if he failed there was no
chance of himself being saved. In
addition to receiving the medal, Nc
Gunigal was given a gratuity OF
800.

TO INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY
Stimulation Of Production Is a Matter
to Which All Nations Are Giving
Their Attention.

Efficiency work in the future will
be applied to the earth itself as well
as to its inhabitants, and increasing
population will make necessary the
utmost stimulation of food produc-
ton, as well as such change in prod
ucts as will give the greatest nutri-
tive value from the area cultivated.
The sea as well as the land will be
coaxed to greater yield. Food from
the sea is notably important to the
British isles and DR.. E. J. Allen
finds that Britain's fisheries claim
471a per cent Of the value of all fish
landed in Europe, the share OF
France being 10 per cent, Norway
10 per cent and Germany and Hol-
land only I per cent each. The fish
ing area of the British steam trawl-
ers has been extended until it reach
es northward to the Faroes, Iceland,
the Barents sea, and the White sea,
and southwark through the Bay of
Biscay to the banks of the coast OF
Morocco. 1t may be expected that
scientific methods will add greatly to
the productiveness of this great area.
In the North sea, the annual yield
is not more than Is pounds of. fish
per acre, worth about IS cents; but
the catches of fishermen in inclosed
harbors rise to 80 pounds per acre
per year, and fresh-water carp ponds
produce as much as 95 pounds. Mus
sci beds yield 10000 pounds annual
ly per acre, or about $40. On cult
waited land, it is added, young bull
locks give an average annual value
of 70 pounds of beef per acre.

THE C SITUATION

There is no use in Disgusting the
fact any longer. We are face to face
with a sugar shortage. We must take
cooperative steps to meet conditions
as they exist and economic in the
use Of sugar.
The latest order restricts the use to
three ponds, to each Individual a
month. More liberal amounts can be
purchased for preserving and canning,
but affidavits must be given that it
will only be used for this purpose.
A year ago domestic use Of sugar
in this country was SIS pounds, it's
total use 80 pounds a person, a need
less and often a harmful indulgence.
Great Britain was using 81 pounds.
France 26 pounds a year per person
when they got it, which was not al
ways.
Three pounds a person per month
means that the restriction placed. on
the American will be So
pounds a year. This is considerable
less than go pounds a year. 1t is less
that half of what we were using a
year ago and then we have the as
surance of those in authority that it
is not a reasonable certainty that we
may not have to do without even less.
The fact is that we have overin-
dulged in sugar. We must manage in
some way to restrict our %appetites in
the line of sweets. We can, if we
make up our minds to do it, do with
out so much sweets.
The purpose of the government is
admirable. It viii permit dealers to
sell sugar for preserving, for in the
long weeks of winter sweets are nee
essary, but it will not permit this
sugar to be used otherwise than can
ming, jelly making, n preserving. 1t
cannot be used for cake making or
for making pies.
1t is in dishes of this kind that we
must learn to do without. We must
have no more unnecessary deserts for
dinner. You will find that they are
unnecessary and that it will help your
digestion by leaving them off of your
menu for awhile.
In August, a year ago, Great Britain
reduced households to "a pounds a
year. In September France cut the
supply to 13 pounds, and both re-
stricted commercial use. Still they
could not get sugar and Mr.. Hoover
asked Americans to save it for them.
About 100000 tons of sugar were
saved.
Now we are asked to do better and
we can do better. Households are
asked to get along on SO pounds a
year per person and we can. Can
there be any doubt about what Amer
leans will do? We will W sugar for
war for our boys over there and cut
our consumption down, beginning at
once.-Commercial Appeal.
