MARKET ALL WHEAT NOW
imperative That Every Surplus Bushel
Ee Moved, Says F. 3. Mum.
ford

AT order to the farmers in Missouri
to market their wheat Immediately
has been Issued by F. B. Nunford
Federal Food ADJ. .-istr;.toy or Mis-
souri,. The order follows:
1.-THE United States Government
finds it necessary to call on all farm
ers now having wheat to market this
wheat Immediately. The demand for
supplies for our soldiers fighting in
France and for our associates in this
war makes it imperative that every
surplus bushel OF wheat now in the
hands of farmers be placed on the
market Immediately.
"Alr farmers now having wheat
which is not needed for seed or for
family needs. no matter how small an
amount. should place it on the marke.
at once.
persons who for any reason are
unable to comply with this order
must report to the office of the fed
eral food administrator. Columbia,
Mo. When such reports are received
they will be carefully investigated.
Farmers should not hold back
their wheat, and by so doing compel
the government to reQuisition the
crop. Missouri farmers are patri-
otto and this suggestion as to the i'm
perative needs of the government at
this time will be sufficient to put their
all patriotic farmers to put their
wheat on the market at once"

LET POTATOES A|D
IN SAVING WHEAT
IF MORE sPUDs ARE EATEN LESS
WHITE BREAD WILL BE
NEEDED.
HUGE EXCESS NOW ON HAND
Food Administration for Missouri
Urges Everyone to increase
Use Of Tubers.

Let potatoes save the wheat. BY
eating the homely and plentiful spud
instead of the more precious wheat
the. people Of Missouri can help win
the war. just as they can help by pur.
chasing Liberty Bonds and contribut.
ing to the Red Cross, F. B. Mumford,
federal food administrator for Mis-
souri,. declared recently.
"The situation is this" said Mr..
Mumford. There is not enough
wheat for the Allies and ourselves.
We have an abundance of potatoes, an
excess of 80 million bushels over nor.
NAL times. If we are to win this war
the people of the Allied nations must
have wheat. The potato cannot quite
come up to wheat in food value but it
does come as close to taking the place
Of wheat as any other food. So by eat
ing potatoes we can save wheat for
the Allies.
Native of This Continent.
Like corn. the potato is a native
of this continent and is as thoroughly
American as the American Indian.
The potato is one of the chief foods
now sustaining Germany, while the
other European countries are largely
dependent upon it. Yet the potato
was not known abroad until the end
of the Sixteenth century, when both
the English and the Spanish intro
duced it from their American col
onies."
Although the potato is a native veg
etable, the American per capita con-
sumption is very low, averaging only
about one-half that of Europe This
is due largely, it is said, to the fact
that bread has always been high
abroad and low n this country. The
higher price of bread in this country
is expected 20 cause the people to
turn more to the potato.
Less White Bread Needed.
While approximately three-fourtF.s
Of the potato is water, it contains
enough valuable Todd substances to
entitle it to place among foods. A
small potato of from three to four
ounces supplies as much starch as a
large slice of wheat bread. but not as
much protein. The more potatoes
eaten the less white bread is needed
In making ordinary bread and rolls
potatoes can be substituted for about
onefourth of the wheat flour.

Sunday nights raid was divided in
to two phases, the first OF which be-
gan shortly after 10 o'clock and last
ed until II O'Clock. Not satisfied
with this, the enemy returned at I1:4o
o'clock and heavily bombarded hos
pitfalls filled with wounded men.
In one building, which was dam
aged most seriously, all the patients
were suffering from compound frac-
lures, which MADE it necessary to
strap limbs in the air. Not woman
deserted her ward, but throughout
the terrible bombing each one kept
going her rounds and quoting the
unfortunate men, who might easily
have done themselves lasting harm
by springing from their beds.
One sister was killed while admin
istering to the soldiers wants. and
another was SO seriously hurt that
she died shortly afterwards. Still
another was dying today.

Nearly 100000 U. S. Soldiers in
France.

Washington, D. c., May a2.-In a
statement inserted in the House rec
ord today, Representative Caldwell
OF New York, a member OF the Mill
tary Committee, declared that during
the first 10 days of May 10000 Amer
lean soldiers were sent abroad and
said that after the expiration of one
year from the arrival of the first
shipment of troops from this country,
the United States would have I,ooo,-
600 men in France, equipped with the
necessary arms and supplies.
When the request was made for a
small expeditienary force from this
country, critics of the administra-
,ion, Caldwell said, declared it would
be Impossible to ship from $4,000 to
100000 men in the first year of the
war.

More Boy Babies During the War?

The belief that more boys are born
during a war or Immediately after,
based upon what has been commonly

interesting feature in connection with the abnormal exchange fluctuations which have characterized the f1nan- cial situation during the war. Our own accounts bear testimony to the fact that very important sums have during the war accumulated here on behalf of neutral creditors for goods supplied, freights collected, securities realized, etc, and have been left here on deposit earning good inter- est pending a recovery in the cur rency value of the pound sterling, now fast approaching pre-war levels. Simultaneously, considerable sums have been remitted here from neu- tral countries in Europe, as we'll as overseas, to be placed on deposit or temporarily invested here. These remittances have been effected at ad- vantageous rates of exchange and are, of course, liable to be withdrawn again, now that a substantial profit can be secured by the neutral cred itors. These movements may, Of course, be to a certain extent offset by any renewed flow of funds to this market from abroad for purchases of raw materials and finished products, when normal trade intercourse, inter rupted and diverted by the war, can

BRITISH BANKING SYSTEM EXPECTS GREAT DEVELOPMENT

'"The produce of the country has governments of the allied powers, including the United States of Amer ica which has taken the bulk of the wool, anii our New: York office has been able to participate to very extent in the finance of. the latter receiving very valuable as- sistance from a representative whom we established for that purpose in Boston. The finance of the purchases of our own and the French govern ments has been facilitated by the ar engagement of loans in their favor by the Argentine government amounting to $40000O,000.
 From our report you will see that the deposits we hold are now 27000, ,O00 pounds as against 14,00O, 900 pounds in 1917 and 9,OOO,OOO pounds in 1916. Our acceptances are 9,OOOOOO pounds against 6,000,000 pounds and accept ances for customers accounts 1, 900 pounds against 1,300,0Oo pounds On the other side, our cash in hand and bills receivable, which later are prac- tically equivalent to cash Cbeing don at not exceeding 90 days in sight, have gone up from 12,300,000 pounds to nearly 25,OOOOOO pounds. Advances have increased by 3,3OO,00 pounds only.
 These figures demonstrate that we have considered it wise to retain a very large proportion of the addi- tional money entrusted to our care in the most liquid form possible, and oul readily available assets in cash and bills represent about 70 per cent. ot our total liabilities to the public.
