Gelett Burgess. in lecture de-
livered at Columbia College, said that
Irwin 8. Cobb is one of the ten great
American humorists, but Robert H.
Davis insists that Cobb ought to de-
mand a recount. There are not ten
real humorists in the world. although
Cobb Is one of them. The extraor-
binary thing about Cobb Is that he
can turn a burst of laughter into .
funeral grafton. a smoker into a shud-
der and q laugh into q crime. He
writes and talks In octaves, striking
all the chords of humor, tragedy,
pathos and romance.
Mr.. Cobb spent the early spring In
France reporting the war on the west
ern front for the Saturday Evening
Post. and he is returning to tell Chau-
tauQua audiences at first hand Just
what he saw on the historic fields
where history is being made. No
magazine or newspaper writer of the
present day is Cobb's equal In the art
Of seeing things and then telling Of
them SO that the person to whom the
story Is told also sees them. His lee
ture will be an outstanding feature Of
the ChautauQua.

NO RELAXATION

Food Conservation Rules

Strictly AS Ever

Washington. May 31.-The nation
was warned again today by the food
administration that there must be no
relaxing in the rigorous conserva-
ton Of wheat if the necessary ship
ments are to be made to the Amert-
can fighters overseas and the allied
peoples.
EVERY prospect Of the wheat sit
uation, both present and future said
the warning, 'intensifies the need
for the greatest possible limitation
in the American consumption of
wheat and wheat products. Relaxa-
ton would result in serious want
for the people Of Europe before the
new crop can reach the market.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels a
month. so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third Of normal.
state administrators meeting here
this week were unanimous, in the
view that even If the coming har-
vest does not prove abundant, it
will be the first duty Of the Amer
lean people to place every grain
they can save into storage to build
up a reserve against possible bad
years ahead. In consequence, there
should be no anticipation Of unlim-
tied wheat bread until the war is
over"
