The attention of the members of
the Eastern Star is again sailed to
| the collection of jellies etc. which is
being made for the Thanksgiving Of
fering to the convalescent soldiers at
Fort Smelling. So far only eighteen
local members Of the order have re-
sponded to the request for one or
more glasses and the collection l.
therefore regretably small. The time
for making this collection has been
extended to Thursday, November Il,
and by that time it is hoped there
will be lage quantity of jellies, jams
canned fruit etc. Contributions are
to be left at the Schleuder Jewelry
store. The ladies are asked to keep

| The boys of Minnesota who are
now serving their country in France,
| will not return to their homes for
two years at least, for the American
forces will be needed in France long
after peace is declared, say military
authorities. eve have a years work
just to untangle the barbed wire that
has been strung back and forth
across France" said General Dupont
of the A. E. F. cit must never be
|
half done. We owe everything to
France, and our men will have to
stand by until they have done what
they can to set her on the road to
restoration. This fact gives double
importance to the United War Work
Campaign. No one who has not
lived with our boys can imagine how
vitality important the service of these
seven great organizations is. No one
can overstate their Importance in the
period of rehabilitation"

"Do not stop saving food" admon-
ishes the state food administrator
"The Austrian armistice has thrown
the Mediterranean open to safe ship
ping. This means that wheat from
India and Australia will be available
The coming of peace may release
the wheat market of the world but
corn, rye, barley and fats will be
needed greatly. One hundred million
animals have been lost to the allies
during the war. Herds have been de-
pleted. The meat and fat supply must
} come in large quantities from Ameri-
ca. Peace will bring an added $780,
100000 starving peoples to our
Thanksgiving table. Figures record
ed October l in Washington with the
department Of agriculture tell this
tale of actual production conditions in
America this year, in comparison with
the crop of 1917: Wheat has an in
crease Of 268,000,00O bushels, barley
of 27,000,O00, rice 100000, rye IT,
100000, buckwheat 100000 and
beans 3,O00,00O; a total increase of
322, 100000 bushels. Corn shows a
decrease of 442,OO0,O0O bushels, oats
of 100000 bushels and sweet pota-
toes 100000 bushels; total decrease
of 548,000,00o. In the face of our
stupe1dous wheat crop must we save?
France shows a decrease of forty
three per cent in pork production. It
has dropped from 100000 hogs in
pre-war times to 100000. The pre-
sent retail price for pork in this war
stricken country ranges from fifty
six to sixty cents per pound as against
a pre-war average price of nineteen
cents. Frances potato crop likewise
is bad this year. Potatoes are so high
/ in price as a result that many people
can not buy them at all. Food condi-
tons outside the area under military
control are very bad. For weeks in
some of the localities where bread is
available at all it has been made of a
combination Of chestnut flour, with
bsome oats, barley, and a little buck
wheat"
