SUGAR ALLOTMENT FOUR
POUNDS EACH IN DECEMBER

Washington, d. c. Nov. 16--While
no formal action has been taken by
the Food Administration, officials in
dicated today it is probable the sugar
allotment for the entire country will
be increased from three pounds to
four pounds December l.
The increase also will apply to pub
lie eating places, allowing for pounds
instead of three, for each 80 meals
served.
Lifting of all restrictions on the
consumption of sugar after January
was said by officials to be likely, be-
cause of large supplies that would be
available then in Java, and the free
flow of Cuban sugar during the
month. By February, it was indi--
Gated, Central Europe and France and
Italy should be in position to re-
sumo production.
Several days ago Food Administra-
tor Hoover announced that December
II the four-pound monthly ration
would apply to Louisiana and the sug-
ar States.

SHOULD THE FARMER
COLOR HIS BUTTER?

Does it pay to color butter? Is it
harmful? Does it effect the flavor of
the butter, and how much color should
be added? These questions are of
ten asked of the dairy department Of
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture.
Whether or not it will pay to color
butter artifcially is determined by the
market demands, says W. B. Combs.
The majority of the markets in Mis-
souri, demand butter of good yellow
color and it is to the butter-maker's
advantage to cater to this demand and
to try to produce butter of uniform
color the year around. This simply
means that it is necessary to initiate
the color that is naturally found in
butter in the spring Of the year, due
to the fact that the cow at that time is
getting an abundant supply of green
succulent grass. During the fall and
winter months the COW receives dry
feeds and the color of her butterfat
naturally becomes light. To overcome
this appearance of butter it is neces-
sary to add an artificial color. The
butter colors which are on the mar
ket today conform to the require
ments of our pure-food laws and are
perfectly harmless. Neither do they
affect the flavor of the butter. Direc-
tions are generally given upon the
container as to just how much of the
color to use. These directions must
be followed in keeping with the but
ter-maker's knowledge of other fac
tors, such as season of the year and
market demands, which determine the
amount of butter to be added.

s6s, 900, 100000 is DEBT OF
GERMANY TO FRANCE

Paris, Nov. 16.-Germany's debt to
France is estimated at 340,000,000,-
900 francs by The Matin in an edi-
torial today. The newspaper appor-
lions the debt as follows:
Return of the indemnity of 1871,
with interest, 60,000,000,000 francs;
expenses in the present war, 100000
100000 francs; pensions, 1900, 00O,-
900 francs, and reparation for dam
ages, 100, 900, 100000 francs.
The Matin declares that France
must obtain acknowledgement of the
debt before examining the way in
which it is to be paid. France wants
no indemnity profit, but all French,
men want lawful repatriation.
Germany and Austria, it adds
should return to the allies minimum
of 100000 tons of shipping in pay
ment for that destroyed in the war
but they have at their disposal only
100000 tons. Consequently, the de-
livery of the entire GeAman-Austriar
merchant marine would constitute on

Thanksgiving Dinner.
Thanksgiving Day, 1918, will be the
greatest in all history. This year the
month of November set aside as of
old for rejoicing and thanksgiving, is
memorable for events of victory and
peace. Its celebration should be made
appropriate by patriotic menues in
dicative of thrift and Americanism.
A conservation program waits on the
American Thanksgiving dinner. Let
no one think that the end of the war
will free us from the need of conser-
walton. The call of more hungry per-
sons that ever comes from overseas.
We urge our housewives to prepare
simple but substantial homegrown

stead of beef and pork, needed for ex-
port. Plenty of gravy to save butter
for shipment, oysters in their native
States, wild rabbit for those who are

with one crust and filled deep with
fruit and vegetables, cranberries
sweetened with honey or syrup, tur.
nips, squash or onions in place of veg

HALLS
DAWN OF NEW AGE

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
complete victory which has been given
the armies of America and her allies
and the opportunity now to replace
jealous intrigues and force among ma
lions with justice should give a signi-
ficance to this celebration of Thanks
giving Day never felt before, said
President Wilson tonight in making
public his official proclamation fixing
Thursday, November %, as a day OF
thanksgiving and prayer.
The proclamation follows:
1t has long been our custom to
turn in the autumn of the year in
praise and thanksgiving to Almighty
God for His many blessings and mer-
cies to US as a nation. God has, in
His good pleasure, given US peace. 1t
has not come as mere cessation of
arms, mere relief from the strain
and tragedy of war. 1t has come as
great triumph of right. Complete
victory has brought US, not peace
alone, but the confident promise of a
new day as well, in which justice shall
replace force and jealous intrigue
among the nations. Our gallant
armies have participated in triumph
which is not married or stained by any
purpose of selfish aggression. In a
righteous cause they have won i'm
mortal glory and have nobly served
their nation in serving mankind. God
has indeed been gracious. We have
cause for such rejoicing as revives and
strengthens in US all the best tradi-
tions of our national history. A new
day shines about US, in which our
hearts take new courage and look for
ward with new hope to new and great
err duties. 6
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
divine guidance in the performance OF
those duties, and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act OF
purpose, and pray that in all that we
do, We shall strengthen the ties OF
friendship and mutual respect upor
which we must assist to build the new
structure of peace and good will
among the nations.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thurs,
day, the 2Sth day of November, next
as day of thanksgiving and prayer
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from
their ordinary occupations and in their
several homes and places of worship
to render thanks to God, the ruler of
nations.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Columbia
this 18th day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and eighteen. and of the in.
dependence of the United States OF
America, the one hundred and forty
third.

Secretary Of State.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Nearly all of the schools are again
running after enforced vacations of
from three to five weeks due to the
influenza ban. 1t will take great
effort on the part of the pupils to
"catch up, but systematic, persist
ent and conscientious effort will ac-
complish that result.
Quarterly examination questions
have been sent out during the week.
Teachers should report on them at the
earliest possible moment as three ad-
ditional quarters of work are yet to
be accounted for.
The following is an extract from
recent report on the Esther High
School by State Superintendent Lam
kin: 81 have the report of the High
School inspector and am pleased to
advance the Esther High School to the
list of fully accredited High Schools
of the first class. In doing this | am
anticipating much of the improvement
that is to be done this year. The in
spector reports that you are provid-
ing for the crowded condition, spend
ing the required amount on the Ii
brary and the laboratory and are
meeting the conditions of a fully &C
credited school of the first class. l
am, therefore, pleased to place your
school on the first class list and COM
mend you for the excellent progress
which you are making. Mr.. Cozean is
rapidly getting hold of the situation
and doubtless will put your school in
first class condition. He is good
school man and deserves your conf
dence in his judgments in school mat
ters."
This makes the eighth st. Francois
county High School to be placed on
the list Of fully approved schools,
This will be regarded as more COM
mendable when it is remembered that
a few counties in the State of Mis-
souri, cannot even boast of one first
class school. The Esther people are
to be congratulated not only on the
advanced standing given their school
but also on the fact that they have Sc
cured the services of such an able ed
ucator as Superintendent Cozean.
The State Superintendent acting
co-ordinately with the County Super.
intendents has planned campaign
for better rural schools to begin Dec
End. 1t is planned to show graphical.
ly the conditions that exist in the
country schools of Missouri with the
hope that an aroused and enlightened
citizcnry will demand of the next
General Assembly definite and spe
cifc remedies.

AMERICANS URGED TO
KEEP ON SAVING

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov.18-Even when
the peace parley, that will succeed the
signing of the armistice, is ended,
and peace succeeds war in every land,
the patriotic Americans must real
ize, says George Oliver Carpenter,Jr,
Director of the War Savings Stamp
Campaign for Missouri, that their
duty as loyal citizens is not ended.
1.-THE first year of the war savings
movement" said Director Carpenter,
(which is now drawing to close, was
for the purpose of raising funds with
which to destroy. Millions and bill
lions were raised in the United States
with which to equip our armies and
place them in Europe, to destroy
Germany and her allies, and make the
world safe for democracy, and the buy
ers of war savings Stamps had
great part in this work.
"The men and money thus raised
have played noble part in the stamp
ing out of militarism and uatocracy.
"Now the Government needs more
money. 1t is even a nobler purpose.
1t is to be used for rebuilding devasta-
ted France and Belgium. These coun-
tries that for more tan four years
felt the iron heel of Pruuianism, are
now freed from the yoke. But thsee
countries are exhausted financially.
Their man power is at low ebb.
Without aid years would elapse be-
fore they could regain their place "a
mong the Nations.
america is the country they look
to for financial aid. The money they
need they will borrow from this coun-
try. This is the only country that can
make the advances.
"But America needs money for 9TH
err purposes than to lend. The con-
tracts entered into during the war
must be executed-when they cannot
be cancelled. The men in khaki, two
million of them, on the other side
must be cared for and returned safe
and sound to this country. All of this
will require money.
"Not only must the people buy
more War Savings Stamps, but they
should see the necessity of holding on
to those they have purchased. 1t is
to the credit of Missourians, who have
bought most generously of these nse-
curities, that comparatively few have
cashed them in. They feel like the
They feel Government. These men,
most of them, enlisted for the term of
the war. The buyers of War Savings
Stamps enlisted their dollars and their
quarter dollars for four years"
Mr.. Carpenter says that in certain
sections Of the state some holders of
these securities are presenting them
for redemption, but that the movement
is not at all wide spread. In the event
that it should become so, however
the reconstruction work of the Gov
eminent might be seriously hamper

RED CROSS WORK is NOT OVER

George W. Simmons, manager of
the American Red Cross for the South
western Division, has pointed uot how
the ending of hostilities will increase
the work of the Red Cross. He told of
the thousands of civilians who must be
cared for and the work among the SOL
diers.
"Armistice and peace does not mean
a cessation of Red Cross work." said
Simmons. "Our obligations as a ma
ton have been increased rather than
decreased by our victory. The people
of our allies have suffered indescri-
badly during the war, while we have
suffered and sacrificed comparatively
little. No other war power in the
world can aid in physical and human
reconstruction as can the American
Red Cross. We would be unworthy of
the high ideals in which the world
holds us if we now fail in this respon-
sibility.
at has been our war all along and
now is our opportunity as civilians to
do our big share for those who have
been fighting our fight for US until
we could get into it ourselves. We
have shown the world that we are a
nation united in war. We will show
the world that we are nation united
in peace for all times to come"
While the Red Cross must have
large sums ON money to relive the war
sufferers it has noe announced a date
for campaign to raise. funds, but
subscriptions may be asked in the
spring. From December 16 to % the
organization will have a membership
campaign, when it is hoped that all
Americansin the IVORY will poin the
