A great deal of careful spade work

Months after the war is over, naval

it would be equally as perilous for a
farmer to pillow these once fertile fields

Here and there are danger signals
indicating unexploded mines. And the
immense power of these mines is cas-
lily gagged by looking at the enormous
craters where some of them have been
'blown." The war has gone on its

lines. 1t stuck its nose in some soft

to fire into it with his pistol to explode
it and thus remove the ever present

did not explode. He moved closer and
fired another shot, and they found
nothing of him after the second shot.

NEW TYPE MIDGET TRACTOR
Conventional Caterpillar Design to Be
Used as Substitute for Narrow
Gage Industrial Railroads.

A small tractor of the conventional
caterpillar type which is designed as
substitute for the narrow-gage in
dustrial railroads operated in connec-
ton with large plants, has recently
made its appearance, says Popular
Science Monthly. 1t can move mate
rial rapidly from one department OF
factory to another and pass obsta-
cles, since it does not require roads
or tracks for it's operation. Further
more, it does not mar.the surface over
which it passes, because it lays its
own track as it goes along.
For this reason it can be used in
side factory buildings. 1t can pass
through doorways of the ordinary size,
and when not used in transporting ma
terial from one department to another,
it can be employed in the shipping
room or on the loading platform. 1t
is but 80 inches wide and 80 inches
high.
There are any number of other uses
to which the industrial tractor may
be put. For instance, it can be EN-
ployed for pulling loaded wagons out
of excavations, or it can be used in
logging camps, or in lumber yards,
mines and shipyards.

Heroic Wireless Onerator.

The heroic conduct of Vignola, the
wireless operator in the Messageries
liner Natal, sunk in the Mediterran-
can, was brought to light by survivors.
When the collision occurred Vignola,
who had been temporarily relieved by
a petty officer, rushed to his post and
telling his substitute to save himself,
sent out signnl of distress. Then he
reported to the captain, who replied,
"All right, now save yourselfp In
stead of doing so the operator return
ed to his telegraph cabin and with alb
solute calm sent out fresh signals,
which were picked up by the Mar
settles station. When the ship sank a
quarter of an hour later Vignola went
down with it.

An airplane has often proved itself
more than a match for it's antagonist
in an unequal encounter. A French
aviator once penetrated far behind the
German lines and CHANGED upon a
heavily laden troop train. The speed
of his craft being fully twice that Of
this unusual antagonist, it gave him an
advantage he was quick to use. The
airplane flew so low that its machine
gun was brought to bear upon the cars,
raking them with disastrous results.
Still flying very low, the airman in
creased his speed and, on coming
abreast of the locomotive, shot both
engineer and fireman. Left to itself,
the locomotive raced forward uncon-
trolled, and taking sharp curve at
high speed was wrecked with great
loss of life.

10000, 900 bushels

Increase ......... 100000 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1918 to Allied destinations were :
Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye
100000 bushels, total of 144900,-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1861 were :
Wheat 1875, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, a total of 137, 900
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about 41,000,-
900 bushels, or a total of l54,G00,000
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In adj
dition to this we have shipped some
100000 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
'This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
CICaIIN IL VIC UchL Ill tudI We Iltlu
available in the fiscal year 1867
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200,000.0o0 bushels of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
These figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume Of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting much
increased acreage in 1917. not only was
there very large failure In wheat,
but also the corn failed to mature prop
cry, and our corn is our dominant crop.
Il am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
concluding his report, 'that all the
millions of our people, agricultural as
well as urban, who have contributed
to these results should feel a very
definite satisfaction that In a year of
universal food shortages in the north
ern hemisphere all of those people
Joined together against Germany have
come through into sight of the coming
harvest not only with wealth and
strength fully maintained, but with
only temporary periods Of hardship.
"It is difficult to distinguish between
various sections of our people-the
homes, public eating places, food
trades, urban or agricultural popula-
tions-in assessing credit for these re-
suits, but no one will deny the dOmi-
uant part of the American women"

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes Presi-
dent America Conserved AL
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN.
Meat and Fat Shipments Increased BY
$4,000, 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied by
The American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas 141,-
| 100000 bushels of wheat and S44 ,600,-
300 pounds of meat during the past
year, valued in all at 81, 100000.
This was accomplished in the face Of
serious food shortage in this country,
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1918 and the shipment Of
meat during 19l7-1S.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to S., 400,O00,000, all this food being
bought through or in collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments of meats and fats
Uncluding meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:

War Time Sweeteners

ERICA has several excellent war time sweet

shortage in the sugar supply.
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
molasses and may be used in preparing des-

When cup of syrup or honey is used
to replace cup of sugar the liquid in the
recipes should be decreased one-fourth.
One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use of sweetening
for Home Preserving Purposes.

Americas new sugar ration of two
pounds a month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
ton enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
tons with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter of
sugar consumptiOn-iS sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly classed as luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and Just division of this essential is
in the hands of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra-
ton has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person a month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one Of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the households of both rich and poor.
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person,
In France the ration is a pound and
half and in Italy 1t Is one pound
month And the prices in allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high rs in America.
If you go to hotel in England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with it. If you want sugar you must
bring 1t with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh Of an ounce Of sugar In
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charine tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
IL they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625, 900 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 10000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy 1t, one must first
find 1t.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
the use of sugar in Italy Its manu-
facture, distribution and sale are close
ly controlled, and in part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine Is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
the government manufactures a mix
ture of saccharine and sugar called
Estate Sugar" which is. largely used.
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
q great surplus of sugar and exported
large quantities Today the Germans
have virtually gone out Of the export
business, but have plenty of cheap
sugar for home use.
Wholesale prices prevalent in the
Allied nations, according to informa-
ton received by the United States
Food Administration are as follows:
England, 10 cents a pound; France.
u cents; Italy. % cents.
While these high prices are being
paid abroad the American wholesale
price is being herd at 71a cents.

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments Is due to conservation and
the extra weight of animals added by

The full effect of these efforts began

ports to the Allies were 2, 1873, 100000
