Of the cessation Of hostilities. This

Der Of copies are going direct to the

button.
During the following week this mes.
sage will be read to every fraternal

mefcial business club of the state.

The school program will be under
the direction of Prof Albert S. VIII
liams, state high school inspector who
10 also the school representative Of the
food administration Of Tennessee. Prof.
Williams has sent letter to every
county and city superintendent in the
state asking cooperation in this imror,
tame work.
AT the conference here DR.. Morgan,
the federal food administrator of Ten.
nessee, stated that in view of changed
conditions brought about by the cessa.
ton OF hostilities there would neces-
sarily be some alterations in the food
program, but he made 1t plain that
there would be great suffering among
the liberated peoples Of Europe unless
the people OF America continued to
supply ever increasing amounts Of es.
sential foodstuffs. Due to the increased
tonnage available for its Transports
tion the sugar situation is greatly i'm.
proved and II the European nations
continue on their present meagre SUI
gar rations 1t will not be long before
the people of this country will be abls
to obtain nearly their normal ration Of
sugar IL any event 1t is not expected
TO be less than four pounds per capita
per month. which viii be the allow.
ance beginning on December I.
Since the wheat supplies of the
Southern Hemisphere will again be
available, there will now be sufficient
wheat, If used in moderation. for the
people of this country and of Europe,
and hence there is no longer any no
cessity .or continuing the wheat sub
stitute program. But there is a real
shortage Of animal and vegetable fats,
and the utmost economy must be prac-
ticed In the use Of pork and fats. There
Is likewise a scarcity Of protein stock
feeds and this in turn has caused a
tremendous shortage of dairy pro-
ducts. The people will, therefore. have
to continue TO economic in the use OF
all dairy products, butter, cheese and
milk. In Europe the herds have been
sadly depleted and there Is not suffi-
Gent fat for the little children. Only
by practicing economy will there be q
sufficient supply Of beef General con-
seryaticn along all lines, the elimina.
tion OF waste and the practice OF the
clean plate was earnestly ursed by DR.. !
Morgan he warned the members Of
the conference tat their tasks were
not yet complete. and that il would I
probably be found that other changes
would have 10 be made in the program
during the course Of the next two or
three months. DR.. Morgan spoke Of
the sacrifices made by the food admin
Istrators. thanking them ,or what they
had done to win the war.
This was the first conference Of all
the county food administrators ever
held in Tennessee. Heretofore the sd.
have been called TO meet
either il divisional or direct meetings.
Much interest was manifested and the
meesiaz VIZ : very enthusiastic one.

opposite Briey and Audun-le-ROman,
and at points between these two
places.
Further north the duchy of Luxem-
burg was entered in the direction OF
the city of Luxembourg.
Food supplies and ammunition and
artillery are moving eastward with
the infantry and the American force
is prepared for any eventuality. The
advance into Germany is regarded by
both officers and men, however. as
nothing more than an ordinary march
The latest reports on the movements
of the Germans indicate they are re-
firing in full compliance with the
terms of the armistice. 1t is reported
that In some towns on the line of the
enemy retreat there are piles of thou
sands of rifles thrown down by Ger
man soldiers, who declared they would
not fight any more regardless OF the
prOvocation.
When the Americans entered Long
wy they found in hospital there two
aviators, Vernon Remington and Ar
thur G. Dineen, who were captured In
October. Remington was member OF
a second pursuit group and Dineen
whose home is in Huntington, Ind, be-
longed to the Ninety-first squadron.
The aviators were brought down in
side the enemy lines during the week
of October %. Their fate was not
known and they were reported by their
organization as missing.

Price put me on the train and the con-
ductor took care of me.
''Who is Mr.. Price?" the storekeeper
asked.
Hes lawyer. He's written you
a long letter about it. It's in my bag.
Didn't you get the telegram he sent
you last evening. Uncle Zoe? A night
letter. he called It,"

shortly.
"Well. you see, when papa and man.

''But-what did this lawyer send
you up here for?" asked Mr.. Stage.
The question was poser and Caro-

home and look out for them?'

decidedly. "And what she'll say to

"Oh" Carolyn May cried again, and
put both arms suddenly about the neck
of her canine friend. prince is just
the best dog, Uncle joe"
Mr.. Stage shook his head doubtfully.
Then he went into the Office and shut
the big ledger into the safe. After
locking the safe door, he slipped the
key into his trousers pocket and
glanced around the store.
''I'd like to know where that use

Mr.. Stage.

but the dog uttered a quick, threaten
ing growl and put his muzzle to the
widening aperture.
'Hey. call off that dog!" begged a
muftied voice from unGer the trapdoor.
Hell eat me up, Mr., Stage"
Lie down, Prince!" commanded
Carolyn May hastily "It's only boy.
You know you like boys Prince" she
urged.
"Ccme on up out O that cellar, Chef.
I'm going up to The Corners with my
little niecC-Hannahs Car'lyn. This
is Chetwood Gormey. If he ever stops
CROWN longitudinally mebbe he'll be
a man some day and not giant. You
stay right here and tend store while
I'm gone, Chef"
Carolyn May could not help feeling
some surprise at the finally revealed
proportions of Chetwood Gormley. He
was lathlike and gawlly, with very
prominent upper front teeth, which
gave sort of bow-window appearance
to his wide mouth. But there was a
goOd-humored twinkle in the over
grown boys shallow eyes and if I'M
couth, he was kind.
I'm proud to know We, Car'lyn," he
said. He stepped quickly out of the
way of Prince when the latter started
for the front of the store.
Once out of the shop in the sunlit
street, the little girl breathed a sigh
of relief. Mr.. Stagg, peering down at
her sharply, asked:
whats the matter?"
Ill Your shop is awful dark,

''Yes, sir. My papa says never to get
