crumbs to them. There are great many OF
the little gray ones, and among them comes a
large round bodied one. coal black. II is
larger than the robin, and has a straight tail
nearly six Inches long. DO any OF our read

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
Selected BY Irish Molly

The above poem so broad and strong in

the best in most men aud women. Selfish
ness has had crest set back in he year
past. "What can do to help?' has be-

many lines open for service that one
hardly knows where first to give time
and help Here, however, is just where a
diversity of gifts" may be put to good
use. Each can work we'll in mepaticular
way.
1t is not wise to attempt too much, at
least at the expense of nervous tension
1t is the ''steady at it" that counts when a
long siege is before us, and the individual
help of thousands will make large sum
total toward tightening the burdens and
relieving the distress OF those in need.
1t is worthy of note that the interest in
the work of relief does not slscken; that
the home people are, in sense, in the war

PROFESSORS SET
STATE EXAMPLE
IN SPEEDING UP
Members Of Il. Z. Faculty Help Out
Greatly in Great Wheat Harvest
In Bluegrass Kentucky.

Members of the Faculty of the Uni
versity of Kentucky took a promi-
nent part in saving the wheat crop in
the territory surrounding Lexington.
The Faculty men worked shoulder to
shoulder with farmers and their regu-
lar help, and with shopmen and bust
ness men who worked as volunteer
farm laborers. A number of the col
lege faculty gave I'M their Fourth of
July holiday and spent the day in
helping farmers thresh their wheat.
The Registrar of the University sack
ed fifteen hundred bushels of wheat,
working from seven o'clock in the
morning until dark. Teachers in the
summer school in several cases gave
up their Saturday holiday or half-hol-
idays, for work on the farm.
When solution of the Farm Labor
shortage was undertaken by the Col
lege of Agriculture early in the pres
enc year, a careful study of the stu
alton was made and the conclusion
was reached that the solution of the
farm labor problem vested primarily
with the farmers themselves. 1t was
pointed out that farmers must take up
slack, must organize their work more
carefully and must work harder and
more effectively themselves If the call
of the Government for increased food
production was to be met successful
ly. The College could make this call
upon the farmers without apology for
the reason that the College Staff were
doing what they were asking the
farmers to do. Long hours and hard
work had become a rule throughout
the College Departments every one of
which was loaded to the guards with
Emergency War Work. With this spir-
1t evident in the men leading the
farm labor movement, they were able
with good grace to urge farmers to
speed up and to increase their efic-
iency to the limit. 1t was not a case
of "let George do it, and farmers
were quick to respond to the appeal
for greater eXertion.

RECORD MADE BY FOOD ADMIN
ISTRATION CAFETERIA

Six thousand meals, using only so
pounds of sugar for all purposmes, is
the record established by the cafeteria
in the Food Administration Building
in Washington. This is at the rate of
l pound to 120 meals, and is in glow
ing contrast to 100 meals, and is in
glowing contrast with what the Food
Administration is asking the Ameri-
can housewife to do to save sugar
to use pounds per person or pound
for as meals.
The Food Administrations cafeteria
feeds an average of 500 persons per
day for the noon meal and the amount
mentioned covers the use of sugar for
all purposes. including tea, coffee, des-
serts, and in cooking. Most of the des-
serts contain such substitutes as hon
ely, maple or other sirups, and the use
of sugar is confined almost exclusive
ly to tea and coffee for those who re-
quest it.
The cafeteria management was con-
vinced that it could make a record oti
sugar saving from the fact that it was
so successful in wheat saving. No
wheat in any form is served, not even
in cooking. Bread is made OF corn
