lndiana's allotment of sugar totals
! s,sS3,000 pounds for the month of
August. This is a reduction of prac-
tically one-third. Certificates issued
by the Federal Food Administration
III July reached a total of 14,021 $50
pounds. upon which the distribution
totaIed 13.012,750 pounds.
Certificates to retailers for August
will be based on pounds per capita
per month. Hotels, restaurants and
public eating houses shall make SINH
lar retrenchment by making pounds
OF sugar sufficient for 80 meals. Here
tofore, the per capita allowance has
been pounds per month, and the
same quantity has been permitted for
each so meals served in public eating
houses.
Certificates for canning purposes
will be issued subject to the same
restriction that has obtained hereto
fore-that each purchaser be re-
quired to present a certificate upon

! Ceputy.
For the present the issuing of
certificates to manufacturers in class
A which includes soda fountains,
soft drink manufacturers, candy
manufacturers. bottlers and various
other less essentials, will be elimi-
mated entirely.
Reports on the Nations egg sup
plies lately received by the u. S.
Food Administration, show that the
number of eggs in storage in the
United States on July l was practi-
cally the same as on July 1, 1917.
With this condition, it is interesting
to note that consumption had in
creased about II per cent. indicat-
ing that production must also have
increased in about the same degree
Imports and exports are a negligible
factor compared with the enormous
size Of the egg trade within the
United States.
Prices received by producers for
eggs have been gratifying, according
to reports from the country egg mar
kets, and poultry markets are still
short Of birds, due. it is believed, to
the high level Of egg prices.
The increasing difficulties i'm secur-
ing sugar are said to have impelled
many manufacturers, bottlers, soda
fountain operators and others nor
mally using sugar, to resort to the
use of saccharin. The use of sac
charm is deleterious to health, and
in violation of the laws of Indiana.

The OrGn Of Yankee Doodle.

Once on time old Johnny Bull
Flew in raging fury
And swore that Jonathan should have
No trials, sir, by jury;
That no elections should be held
Across the briny waters:
"And now," said he, T'll tax the tea
Of all his sons and daughters"
Then down he safe in burly state,
And clustered like grandee,
And in derision made tune
Called yankee doodle dandy"
"Yankee doodle" these are facts
yankee doodle dandy;
My son of wax, your tea I'll tax,
You-Yankee doodle dandyW
John sent the tea from Ger the sea
With heavy duties rated;
But whether hyson or hobea,
Inever heard it stated.
Then Jonathan to pout began,
tie laid strong embargo,
''Pll drink no tea, by Jovew so he
Threw overheard the cargo.
Next Johnny sent an armament
Big looks and words to handy,
Whose martial band, when near the land
Played Yankee doodle dandy"
"Yankee dobdle-keep it up!
Q Yankee doodle dandy!
I'll poison with tax your cup
You Yankee doodle dandyw
A long war then they had, in which
John was at last defeated;
And yankee doodle" was the march
To which his troops retreated.
Young Jonathan, TO see them fly
Could not restrain his laughter;
''That tune" said he, "suits to at,
I'll sing it ever after!"
Old Johnny's face, to his disgrace,
Was flushed with beer and brandy,
Fen while he swore to sing no more
This Yankee doodle dandy"
Yankee doodle no! ha! he!
Y.nkee doodle dandy
We kept the tune, but not the tea,
Yankee doodle dandy!
I've told you now the origin
Of this most lively ditty,
Which Johnny Bull pronounces "dull
And silly"- what pity!
With Hail Columbia!" it is sung,
In chorus full and hearty
On land and main we breathe the strain,
John made for his tea-party.
No matter how we rhyme the words,
The music speaks them handy,
And where's the fair can't sing the air
Or yankee doodle dandyw
yankee doodle--frm and true
Yankee doodle dandy,

GERMAN PERFIDY SHOWN
 IN LUSITANIA DISPATCH

the Journal men aecoded the message as follows; Warn Lusitatania pas sengers through press not voyage across the Atlantic" Two days later the German embassy printed the now historic advertisement in the New York papers warning travellers not to cross the Atlantic, and a week later on May ', the Lusitonia was sunk by a German submarine.
 A dramatic touch of suggestion oi death in the message lies in the fact that the word not in it is taken from the first sentence Of an obituary of the late Joseph Pulitzer former owner oi the World, which publishes the Al manac. Another wegn bit ef irony ir it is that the E3Es four words were taken from an advertisement of a well known marine motor headed ''Tht Seal of Safety at Sea"
 Two words of the message are spelled out in German. They are ''warne," which in English is warn, and "durch," which means through. The word "BOtschaft" is German fol embassy"
 The German ambassador, immedi ately after the sinking of the Lusi tania. declared that the advertisement in the New York papers was inserted on his own responsibility, and had nc particular reference to the Lusitania AS printed, this advertisement men toned no ship by name. But the cipher message now reveals the fact that he deliberately lied, and that Berlin di rected the whole tragedy.
 Incidentally, Mr. RathOm's article adds that on the evening after the Lu sitania was sunk, when friends of VOr Bernstorff declared that he was over whelmed with grief and secluded il his rooms in a New York hotel, h' was in reality giving a dinner in the apartments of a friend in New York and there toasted the commander o1 the U-boat which sunk the liner.

LONDON, Jan. 3o.-Another German air raid took place last night, when bombs were dropped in the counties of Kent and Essex. Several aerial en- agreements took place between Ger man and British machines, the latter all returning in safesy.
 Fifteen airplanes participated in the raid, one of which dropped bombs on the southeastern outskirts of London, and another one bombed the outlying northeastern districts.
 The raiders did not attempt to de- stroy military objectives, but merely succeeded in killing civilians, the ma ority being women and children.

SAVAGE MEXICAN RAIDS
 RECALL PIONEER DAYS
(By Associated PressJ

MARTA, Texas, Jan. 30.-Pioneer days of Indian raids on American set dement's along the frontier were re- called by Old-time ranchmen and cat tlemen who live in the Big Bend dis trict of Texas by the raids which have occurred during the past two months on isolated ranches along the Mexican boundary.
 Hatred of the white men and a scarcity of food which threatens star vatiOn for the outlaws who dwell along the south side of the international line were responsible for these raids, just as they were for the Indian raids of frontier days. At Indio, opposite Buena Vista, and at the Brite ranch, in the famous Rimrock district of the Big Bend Mexican bandits riding stolen horses, shooting American am intuition from American-made guns, and many wearing the stolen uniforms of the Mexican federal soldiers, charged across the border, circled the homes of the settlers, firing volley after volley into their adobe ranch houses, and killing everyone who could not find cover.
 The raid on the Brite ranch was typical of the outlaw methods of these raiders. Fording the Rio Grande from Mexico, fifty of these Mexican bandits rode twenty-five miles across the bar ren desert country to the nearest ranch settlement, which was the home, store and postoffice of the L. c. Brite cattle ranch. The Mexicans were careful to ascertain that no American soldiers were encamped on the ranch. This was done the night before by sending a deaf and dumb boy to the ranch on the pretext of finding em- ployment. He asked permission to camp there for the night, and lighted a camp fire, which was in reality signal fire to the bandits waiting on the top oI IHe llhIoCh, "hi0h liSeo from the level plain like giant shell.
 The women in the ranch houses were preparing breakfast when the Mexi- cans opened fire, riding in a circle about the houses and outbuildings. Lying on the floor to avoid the high powered bullets which crashed through the windows and doors, the ranchmen
