A food map Of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
lin the large centers of population.
! Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
tion from the other nations to the peo-
}ple Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
nust have immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
u the help America has extended to
n during the war constitutes the
rongest appeal for us to continue our
3rk there. The moment the German
mics withdrew from her soil and she
IS established once more in her own

giOns, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes it's toll, and in Greece, Albania
and ROumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. AL
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes Of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton Of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least q minimum of 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,820,OO0 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies
If we fail to Tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of
Europe a repetition Of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

For Book>Lovers

Book lovers will appreciate these
book-ends, covered with tapestry and
lined with silk, and they are easy to
make. Among Office furnishings the
foundations Of thin metal are to be
found. These are first padded with
blotting paper-glued to them-then
the tapestry and silk covering is sewed
over them and finally a silk cord is
tackled about the edges. For a bed
room the covering might be Of Gre
tonne. The pair shown here has a
covering Of tapestry in dark colors.

Whoever she is, she will love this
shopping bag of taffeta silk with it's
celluloid mountings, but if it matches
her street suit in color her joy in it
will be complete. This one is of navy
blue taffeta lined with bright red taft
feta. The celluloid mounting is of the
same red and so is the long silk tassel.
The bag is suspended by a strap of
the navy silk.

Here is tent made Of strong, I'M
bleached domestic, bound with red
braid which will rejoice the heart of
the small boy. 1t is about eighteen
inches long and is set up on a frame
of wood that supports a small rod
Of wood at the front and back. A
third rod forms the ridge-pole. Four
tape loops are stitched to each side
of the tent and slipped over tacks in
the sides Of the supporting frame. A
little flag, pair Of paper soldiers and
a wooden cannon, make up an outfit
that will launch a delighted little chap
On a military career a half minute
after he discovers it. The tent is easy
to make and the soldiers are cut out
of printed paper.

HOLIDAY SEASON IN ITALY
Explains Christmas Observances
in the Sunny Land.

Travellers visiting Rome while it
was still The center of a land Of peace,
found Christmas there a day of joy
BUSINESS; and the merry bells of many
churches, ushering in the day, spoke
the familiar language Of home.
Just before the war, DR.. Grenfell,
of Labrador fame, INDUCED in the
unusual luxury of a brief holiday in
Europe after years of tireless service
among the fishermen. His journey
brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to
Rome just as the many religious and
civil obServances of the Christmas
season were about to take place. A
great contrast these scenes were to
the Christmases of icebound Labra-
dor.
The decorations, the greetings, and
the crowds tlocking in and out of
churches, emphasized the spirit of the
season. "All the places of worship into
which we peeped," he says "were
ablaze with lights, While professions
of priests in glittering robes. with So
norouS chOruSes and ascending incense,
appealed to the various senses"
At one church they viewed the five
boards believed to have formed part
Of the cradle Of our Lord.
The American Episcopal Church of
st. Paul, where they worshiped on
Christmas morning, was crowded with
the Protestant population of the Holy
City. A feature of the service was the
defeating Of a beautiful new mosaic,
covering one entire wall of the church
and representing the nativity of
Christ.
Of the Coliseum, says DR.. Grenfell,
1--WE could think of no place better to
suggest to our minds the communion
Of the saints; and as we walked
round the tiers Of seats we could see
again the men of like passions with
ourselves giving their lives for the
same Master we claim to serve"
When darkness had fellen the tray
oilers were attracted by numbers of
bright lights over by the Porta San
Giovanni. These proved to announce
sail the fun of fair"-tkere in Italy
Just as one finds them in this coun-
try at county fair"

A Common Human FaiIinn.

1t is undoubtedly more blessed to
give than to receive; but it is a hu-
man failing to compare the value Of
Christmas gifts.

 "The British attacks have extend ed to the north of the Scarpe.
 "On both sides of Bapaume and north of the Somme there have been vigorous engagements. Enemy at- tacks in the main have failed At some places counter attacks still are in progress. Longueval and Montau- ban, temporarily lost, have been re- captured.

PIGS ID
 ADD TO FOOD OF
 WINTER SEASON

People who have housing facilities for carrying over pig or two should be making plans now. While a great many more pigs have been raised in the county this year than ever before, most of them will be killed within the next few months. The year 1919 will bring out greater need than ever for this commodity, and every pig carried through the winter simply strengthens next seasons supply.
 All persons who have a warm place in which to house a pig or two for the winter should be planning now for the purchase of good strong stock.
 The Farm Bureau will have about 300 good strong pigs for those people who have difficulty in obtaining a suf- ficient supply in their own communi- ties. The Bureau is no way wishes to compete with local producers, only desiring to serve the public where the pig supply does not meet the demand.
 Communications from people need ing assistance should be sent to the Farm Bureau Office, address Post Off, flee Building, Danbury, Conn. Bulle- tins on Care and Management of Swine" may be obtained upon re- quest
