WHY We MUST SAVE MEAT
Statement Of the Reduction OF sup
plies Among Our Associates
In the War.

Food Administrator Deems Is noti-
fed that very great shortage exists
In English meat. The situation IS OF
interest and Importance In view OF
the f1ct that the withdrawal OF meat
less days by the food administration
was to continue until May ]. The
reports from England are to the enect
that the amount Of homegrown meat
of all kinds coming to the principal
markets there has averaged only 3d.
100000 pounds per week since Janu-
ary 1, as against 227,oOoOOO pounds
average for the same period In 1vlo'
The number Of cattle coming to Eng
fish markets has decreased 70 pei
cent, sheep 40 per cent and hogs es
ner cent, compared to the same pe1od
for 1916. "These figures" said Mr.
Deems. ..are complete answer to
anyone who may raise the question
og to why it is necessary for the
United States to. send so much food
70 our associates in the war"

TWO KINDS OF PATRIOTISM.

Mr.. Farmer, you have brought lot
Of idle land into tillage this spring.
You are going to raise all the grain
and forage and live stock your farm
can be made to produce. That's one
kind Of patriotism, and very neces-
sary kind.
Every farmer who brings q new acre
of land into cultivation is soldier on
the firing line for liberty and democ-
racy.
But there is another kind Of patriot
Just as necessary that the stuff you
produce shall be put at the disposal Of
the fighting forces. as it is that you
should raise It.
That means money. You have
money to pay for the labor Of farming
your land and producing grain and
stock. The government must have
money to buy your produce for the
fighting men In France. Money is ABB
solutely necessary to buy food, NUM-
tons, clothing, ships and medical
stores.
You are doing your duty in raising
the crops, that Is very true. But IN
war like this one no man does his full
duty who does not do all that he pos
sibly can do.
Bring out the grain you have stored
away. Sell it at the fair price fixed by
the government. -.
Bring out the money you have stored
up in the banks, or hidden away in
your iron box behind the barn. Every
dollar is urgently needed.
Invest every idle dollar you have in
Liberty bonds. The government will
repay you in few years. Meantime
you will receive interest at the rate of
~ per cent, with valuable tax exemp
| lions, to make the investment better.
Invest every dollar you can in Liberty
bonds.
Every dollar you bring out Of con.
cealment means $40 added to the fight
ing capacity Of the United States in
the world war.

A Lesson by the Warrior Of
the Stout Heart.
BY GUY F. LEE.

"Give me six months to live" Glen.
enceau, seventy-seven. leader of
France, said to his doctor Thursday.
That's all want"
Six months that he may see the Hun
driven from the soil Of his fathers.
Six months that he may see start
toward the restoration Of those quaint
and beautiful towns. now only broken
fragments Of desolation and despair.
Six months that he may see the hus-
bandry Of peace again filling the she'll
torn ground for the return Of the flow
ers and grass and trees.
Six months that he may see the
homecoming Of 'le grande armee"--
sound cheers for the millions march
Ing along the Champs Elysee, and
weep tears for the millions back there
who are not coming home save in the
hearts Of the world.

Big German Shell Fell in Midst of Com

street, Troy, \. Y. Private Ackner is at
tached to an ammunition train and il be-
ing his duty to carry big shells to the
front, was in a position to obtain first
hand information concerning the story.
He writes that one day in October big
German she'll fell in the midst of a New
England company. Had the missile ex-
pioded Uncle Sans casualty list would
have been larger by many men. but the
funny thing was that it failed to go off
This is very rare, especially with the big
shells. and led TO an investigation by an
officer of the company. He dissected the
she'll and imagine his amazement when
he found it was filled with sawdust. Still
greater was his surprise when he found a
note amongst the sawdust which bore the
! inscription. An English Tommy Doing
His Bit. The supposition is that the
English soldier was taken prisoner and
/ put. at work in munition factory
Nevertheless, he managed to put one over

POETS QUALIFICATIONS.
Curious Test Proposed by an Ex-Pro-
fessor Of Ohio University.

The following paragraph appears in a
literary review of a book on The Read
ing and Writing of Verse" by Lieuten-
ant Andrews, formerly of Q. S. u:
Can YOU hear watch tick one. two
one, two, one, two-and then change tc
one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two
three? Can You hear a train rumble in
time to different tunes: If you can't, you
will never be able to enjoy poetry to the
full, according to Lieutenant Andrews
formerly professor of English at Ohio
state university"
That is rather severe test. but wt
have no hesitancy in commencing it Il
the writers of verse for the newspapers
not that it should discourage all, but mos
of them. And then the reviewer goes OF
