When times were normal, accord

calls for the location of fires, foot

Government calls and war business,
he states that it has been found nee

that the Cuban sugar crop, which
formed the greater part OF our win

december. OF course, the entire
crop will not be used in the United

made it was done with thu under

The Family Skeleton
At The Grand Opera House Tonight

Have you a little skeleton in your
closet? Most everyone has, even if
they do try to lock the door and keep
him well hidden from the gaze of in
quisitive neighbors. Billy Bates had
one, and every so often he took it
out and looked it over, and busted
it and put it back again, and became
more and more obsessed with the
fear that it would wreck his life as
it had his fathers But Poppy didn' t
think so, and so she worked up a
scheme with his guardian to save
Billy from himself. Whether she
succeeded or not we leave you to
find out, with the help of Charles
Ray as the altogether delightful. but
phantom-fearing Billy.-Adv.

RED CROSS RELIEF TO
SOLDIERS and SAILORS
Home Service Branch Issues Infor-
nation to Families as to The Prop
er Way to Communicate With Men
On The Other Side.
Casualty Information:

America is so far removed from
the scene of battles, that for those at
home there must inevitably be anXi-
Gus and weary days of waiting for
news. The horror of war is far
away, but this very distance increa-
ses the terrible strain of lack of
information, or of incomplete infor-
nation, concerning casualties to in
dividuals. This is a strain that the
American people will bear with cour-
age, for they know the cause to be
worth all sacrifice, at home as well
as in France. But, for this very rea-
son, il is incumbent on those who
can, 70 lessen the strain by giving
families the fullest information pro-
durable, as quickly and as accurately
as possible.
When a man is wounded, or killed,
or is missing in action, his next of
kin is informed by telegram by the
War Department. This news is cabled
from France and is sent out as quick
ly as possible to families. The War
Department does not publish a name
until the family has been informed.
If the family has moved, leaving no
new address, the name is withheld
until it can be found. The War De-
partment makes every effort to con-
vey information accurately and hui
namely. If familiar name appears
in the casualty list family need
not fear it is that of one--o MEM
bers if it has not already had word.
1t must be remembered that even the
most uncommon names appear again
and again in an Army the size OF
ours.

The Cost Of Food

The figures recently given out by
the government as to food costs show
a staggering increase. Prices Of
farm products are up SO per cent. ov
er five years ago. Yet a study Of
the different items shows that these
costs can, to partial extent, be
controlled. Potatoes and several
other vegetables have declined dur
ing the past year. That is due to
the increase in back yard gardens.
The product of these gardens should
be even more. Many people during
the first two seasons only cultivated
little patches because it is always
hard to work new land. Now that
they have dug ever their back yards
and got the earth to working easily
they should have courage to dig up
some more. Every yard capable of
vegetable raising must be made to 90
its duty. Also gardeners should
have learned by their previous mis-
takes. 1t is a fairly simple thing to
raise vegetables if you buy good fer
tilizer and seed and keep the weeds
out. With every on cruising a good
sized garden, vegetable prices should
be lower than they were five years
ago.
Meat prices, of course, cannot be
controlled. They depend upon world
wide conditions that We cannot help.
The government and the agricultural
schools should be able to encourage
the raising of more cattle and sheep
so that in time meat will come down
somewhat Next to the war prob
lem, no more important duty rests on
the government than this. to find out
how our people can again secure an
adequate supply of meat at fair prices
Many people, of course, have met
the difficulty by cutting out meat to
a large extent. They find themselves
no worse off. A flourishing back
yard garden is a wonderful source OF
| independence. Next thing to it is a
good storage cellar where vegetables
can be kept through the winter. Our
modern houses are apt to lack this
important feature

Washington, Aug 23.-The fact that
there now is shortage in war work

that the reserve of skilled workers is
exhausted, developed today at a con-
ference of field agents of the federal
employment service. Further curtail-
ment of non.essential production Is
planned to release men for war work.
The labor shortage is so serious
that completion of a number Of i'm
portant war projects for the army and
navy is deing delayed, it was stated
at the conference. The field agents
decided that the only way in which
the needed laborers could be secured
was to take them from non-essential
industry.
