MEAT INCREASE
At Time NEEDED
Producers Responded Nobly
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES,
Government Justified IN Pork Policy
Which Now Provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con-
servation formulated by the o. s. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance Of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is Of particular signih-
canoe. as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad'
ministration by the meat producers OF
the country.
According to reports Of the o. &.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an Increase in cattle Of 10,239.OOO head
and 12,441, 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January last. In the same
period there was q decrease Of $4,000
head Of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January unofficial fnforma-
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than eight per cent and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
average weight.
Following the request Of the Food
Administration for increase IN hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,6O0,0Oo,000 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal 1000
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted to 9O3, 172, 900 pounds,
while for the same months of 1918 the
production was 1,277, $4,000 pounds,
an increase Of over 874, 100000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1,2e3,0OOOOO pounds as
against 1,454,OOO,OO0 pounds for the
three month period ending September
I, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands Of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation Of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
It has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage in fats,
and 1t is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its delcien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

TWO KINGS.

The wheel of time has made a
giddy revolution. Into the cap
ital city of Belgium rides Bel
ium's King, acclaimed by a liber-
ated people. Over the border, in
Holland, crownless refugee,
dwells Wilhelm Hohenzollern.
That complete reverse of fortune
which we behold in Shakespeare
an tragedy in the course of four
acts has been enacted before our
eyes in historical facts in four
years.
King Albert himself might well
have doubted most of the time
during the past four years that he
would ever tread the soil of his
capital city again as monarch of
Belgium. A nation more utterly
under the heel of the conqueror
modern history has rarely exhib-
tied. Her King was an exile,
reigning over the remnant of
his army in a bleak summer hotel
on the sands of the Channel coast.
His return to his palace in
Brussels is the triumph of a diff
erent sort of kingship than that
typifed by his exiled neighbor.
King Albert played the game. "
He was the friend, the servant,
the champion, the comrade of his
homeless people. He shared the
fatigues and privations of those
flooded lands where the Belgians
stood at bay on a pathetic
wisp Of their own soil through
four desperate years.
The reversed position of the
two kings after the shouting and
the tumult die, is a hint that
justice may not all be so blind.

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL fiber
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
pies Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxurles.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port of War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Allies,

When figures began to show def
initely that the people Of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that it was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton Of staple necessities, but that 1t
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease in the use Of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean tom
mage will be lightened, European ma
lions will be able to go farther af1eld
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased If the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially In
creased over the present low amount
it can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to q greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up reserve, and to TIDE
over the period Of scarcity, until the
the new crops Of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records Of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995,OO0 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows q definite, concrete saving OF
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
DIV to sugar consumed on the table, In
the klICllSll dAO lllC 'oAAooS AANeS
tries, and show conclusively that IN
the homes and public eating places OF
America, where 70 per cent. of all our
sugar Is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third
In the four-month period begin.
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,OOO
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port Of the war.

THE WORK OF THE DRAFT
BOARDS.

It is probable that shortly
after December 9th, the date of
which the draft boards have
been ordered to ceasetheir work,
these bodies themselves will pass
out of existence.
Since the spring of 1917 more
than 1000, 900 men have been in
Quoted into the Army through
the machinery of the draft. The
part the exemption boards play
ed in this process was no easy
one. The mere magnitude of
their task would have made it
difficult; but when there was
added to this the necessity for
intimate and thorough research
into the private affairs of the
registrants, the burden of decid-
ing quickly and fairly the ques-
ton of which men were to go to
war and which to stay, the won
der grows that the task was ac-
complished so efficiently.
The draft boards were aided
of course, by the general willing
ness of the man of draft age to
answer queries and to furnish
information which was of an in
tensely personal character; and
by the fact that it soon became
known that the selective service
principle was going to be admin
istered fairly and uncompromis-
ingly; but there nevertheless re-
NAMED many questions which
had to be settled through the ex-
ercise of personal, and often al
most instantaneous, judgment.
By the time that the original
registration of 10000, 900 men
was thoroughly classified, the 49,
to-45 draft imposed a tremend-
Gus new burden on the draft Of
ficials. Although the ending of
the war put an end to the
necessity of calling these men
for active service, they had to
be classified, and this work con-
tinues. When the process ceases
on December 9 there will be in
the hands of the Government a
complication of information more
exhaustive than anything since
the Heads of Families" Census
of 1890. The men by whom the
most of the work has been done
will shortly resume their official
status, but their volunteer work
and their willingness to subordin-
ate important personal business
to the exacting and somewhat
thankless task to which the Gov
eminent called them entitle them
to the very highest recognition.
