SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHli!G
Farmers, Urged by Food Aiminlstra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
of Bread for Every American.
4t-11-21-28-12-5-12

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from SO grain states to the U.
S. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time, was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the, lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop, cases Of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket"
as a result of the grain saved.

On account of the epidemic of flu,
Granger county schools have not
made the progress they should have
made. Also, several teachers were
called into military strvice which
necessitated the closing of some of
the elementary schools. But begin
ming with the spring term, there
should be a united effort upon the
part of both patron and teacher to
get the boys and girls back to the
school room. All the high schools will
run the intire term, and it is announc-
ed by the county superintendent that
all grammar schools will run two
months after the holidays, provided
the attendance will justify. While
the farmers are being called upon
for an increased crop production next
yeaH yet the boys and girls can dc
but very little farm work during the
winter months. Keep them in school,

DropIet Infection Explained in Pictures.
"The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department, has just issued
a striking poster drawn by Bergman,
the well-known Washington cartoonist.
The poster eXemplifleS the modern
method of health education. A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have is
sued an official dry but scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role of
drOplet infection in the spread of re-
spiratory diseases. The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. The man
in the street, the plain citizen and the
many millions who toll for their living
would have had no time and no desire
to wade through the technical phrase
Ology"

Washington, D. C.-With the subsid-
ence of the epidemic of influenza the
attention of health officers is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a large number
Of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will be especially prevalent this win
ter unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.
"The present epidemic" said Sur
geon General Blue, has taught by bit
ter experience how readily a condition
beginning apparently as slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic is
over there will continue to be large
number of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will be danger spots to be guarded
against" The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after a
great fire, saying, mo fire chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dis
appeared. On the contrary, he con-
tinues the water for hours and even
days, for he knows that there is dam
ger of the fire reminding from smol-
derlng embers."
"Then you fear another outbreak of
influenza?" he was asked. mot neces-
sarily another large epidemic" said
the Surgeon General, "but unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
Of the danger they viii be compelled to
pay a heavy death toll from pneumo-
mia and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
at is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that or.
binary coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means of droplets of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed into the air when careless or
ignorant people cough or sneeze with
out covering their mouth and nose. It
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of doors, the respira-
tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo-
mia, etc) are lnfrcquent; in the fall,
as people begin to remain indoors, the
winter, when people are prone to stay
in badly ventilated, overheated rooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent.
