Little James Wilson Seward

On the evening of November23. 1918
the death angel cast a gloom over the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Johnnie Seward
by calling their dear little baby bpy to
his heavenly home. Wilson's suffering
was great during the short period Of
his illness, having had influenza and
pneumonia. He was Ia months old the
day he died, was such a sweet baby ev-
eryone who knew him loved him. God
saw where was more suited for an
angel and in Hisinfnite wisdom pucked
this bud from earth to blossom in
heaven. Weep not, dear ones. though
it has saddened your hearts. he is at
rest, one more angel in heaven The
remains were laid to rest at Esds cem-
etery Sunday.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A chair is vaesot in our home
That never can be filled.
AN AUNT That LovED HIM.

Increase in American Hogs wiz
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
Of Pork oduction-SeVenfold
Increase over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added In car
iEg for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day IN our every action of stimulation
OF hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built, up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world, In
beef there must be a shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products Is Illustrated by the
following:
Reports complied by the U. s. De
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase + cattle Of 1023S,000 head
and 12,44l,0 600 hogs. These figures
were complied to January last
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head The indica-
tions are that this decrease win show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial lnforma-
ton indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than per cent and not
more than 10 per cent as compared
with one year ago, with an Increase in
the average weight
Following the request Of the U. q
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year, With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have been
impossible
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 903, 3,172000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months Of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277 $4,000, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,263,00000O
pounds as against h454,000,000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September /, this year.

American Nation Maintained Al,
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
.AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
TO Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage Of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 65OS0,805
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237 100000 bushels Of wheat and
hour In terms Of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostilitles we are able to re-
turn to normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other Hitherto inacces-
slble markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream Of wheat and flour NOV
ing across. the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statlsticlans
figured that we had bare surplus of
20,O00,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
famine-and In Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall BY the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 50,000,000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only IL we sent an additional 75,-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was S5,0000O0 bushels safely dellv-
cred overseas between Januaty / and
July 1. Out of harvest which gave
us only 20,000,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,000000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacrl-
fce Of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude Of which is almost be-
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of 11,S20,-
600 tons, We must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe In the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been lmpos-
sible for them TO maintain their de-
feBse against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is a success ano that in time of
need il will rise to It's own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to its credit the very fact that ii
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence OF the Food Administration
in the eyes Of the world
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiOusly the last
four months in the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many di-
rections and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
y assamblage of our Army and finances -
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in demOc-
racy has not been misplaced.

American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tion'S War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States AVerted q
Famine at Home In Spite
of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctlOns of the Government
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar strlngency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
900 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
hdNt UNFil III lilC tiilbNS VI sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
II would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
domlnantly as this reduced consump-
tion Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation Is In a position 30
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to so
far afleld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted ratlons. If, however those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably II must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
tion.

No Time for Idleness

The production Of food is a prime
factor in giving freedom to the world.
All sble-bodied persons shoul4 contrib
ute their full energy and service at all
times. Idlers are reprOseh upon and
menace to the safety of any locality
Now. as perhaps never before, the
world food needs are going to call upon
the United States. We must do what
We have been expected to do all along
feed others and ourselves too. This
is the only safe farming program and
viii be the safe program as long IS the
world stands.
With this fact in mind let everyone
buckle down to hard work that viii b

My Dear Friends:-l hope yeu will

So you can understand what ! mean:
And in that sch ool of necessity | found
that some of the things which you peo-
pie are being taught and which some of
you despise, are counted as basic prin.
ciples and great stress is put upon
them. For example. physical geogra-
ply, physics, chemistry, mathematics
Especially simple algebl sic solutions)
and above all. English (the ability to
say what you want and 10 say il cor
rectly, whether it be written or spo-
ken). These are the things that the
American youth must have as a basis
IN which to build successful technicai
career, as l see it today. These, at
least, are the prerequisites for the
American flying officer and the failure
of more than two-thirds of my class can
in large measure be ascribed to the
want of them.
A hint to the wise is sufficient.
God bless you all and be with you as

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light Of succeeding events II
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look In July of 1917. when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Pcris.
SEVEN though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today he de-
clared In public statement, mo
American who has knowledge OF the
results already obtained In every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"
