Food Administrator Hoover says that
if the government had allowed com,
mcrce to take its untrammcled course
m wheat flour would be selling at the
mill today for $50 to $50 a barrel, in
stead of $40 to $1,000, because the al.
lies had to have wheat and were pre-,
pared to pay any price for it. The
reason why the allies cannot use corn
and leave us the wheat is because corn
is short-lived and difficult to ship In
the terminating season. The allies
have done their part in reducing &C.
real consumption 80 per cent to pro.
vide America with ships, We are ship

War news as important in its way
as that coming from the front in
France was published Tuesday by the
food administration. An official esti
mate that the spring wheat yield this
year should increase 90 to 80 per cent
over the previous estimates must be
based largely upon acreage, for spring
wheat is not far enough advanced as
yet to justify the confident predic-
tions on any other basis. AS the spring
wheat crop last year aggregated $780,
100000 bushels, it will be seen that
the computation of gain, if correct,
will be from 50,000,000 to S0,000000
bushels. Concerning winter wheat, har-
vesting of which will begin in Texas
in few days, we have more definite
figures. In nearly all districts it came
through the cold in prime condition, and
the estimate that the yield will be at
least 100000 bushels in excess of
all forecast is even more rcassuring.
If these predictions shall be realized, a
wheat crop this year of S00,000,0C0 OF
goo 100000 bushels will be a record
breaker except for the plethoras OF
1914 and 1918. Financing the war t.
large extent and fighting the war will
constantly growing energy, as we must
it is cause for national thanksgiving
that we have promise of create
ability than usual to feed the armies
of peoples that must bear the strain
of conflict.

There is still time for the delinducnts
to get into the ranks of the patriotic
Liberty loan subscribers. The cam
paign closes Saturday night. Because
Vermont has gone above her quota is
no excuse for people who have or can
save the money with which to buy
bonds. The larger the subscription the
more it will count in encouraging our
boys in France and the more depress.
ing will be the report to the Germans
in showing how determined this coun.
try is. The amount of the loan in the
aggregate counts for something but the
greatest effect will come in rolling up
millions of subscribers, Right here is
where the small loans count. If the
news is carried to Germany that co.
100000 Americans subscribed for bonds
the war lords who wish to dominate the
world will be staggering,

Surgical Dressings.

You take Il piece of gau2e, they say,
And make it four by eight,
Keep your selvedge just this way,
Then fold it so; but wait,
You see those threads all lose around
You must not leave them so,
For if they get within the wound,
The "Sam" to heaven might go.
Now find the center, pretty near
And fold it nice and fiat.
Now fold again this way, you hear!
Then take your knife and pat.
Don t leave your corners sticking out,
Or roll the selvcdge o 'er.
Don't lose your patience, neither pout,
Remember what il s for.

Another million men will be called
into the service within a short time
and the United States will have 5000,
600 under arms and large part of
them in France before the end of the
year. Andre Tardieu, the French high
commissioner to this country, in an adj
dress at a Liberty loan rally in New
York Sunday declared that the sol
diers of America by the hundreds of
thousands are now in France and ev-
cry week brings to its shore a new
stream of khalli-clad boys Monsieur
Tardeu did not exactly let the cat out
of the bag by this remark, but he per
mitted us to take a little peek at it.
We can get along very we'll without
knowing the precise number of Ameri-
can soldiers that have been sent across
1t is cheering to learn that they are
already there by the hundreds of thou
sands, and are being constantly aug
mented by new arrivals, for this means
that the help of America is going to
count for something in the stormy
days that are just ahead. 1t is great
satisfaction to know also, that the Ger
man submarines have succeeded in
getting only one of the transport ships
that are being hurried across. Their
immunity cannot be attributed to good
luck. 1t is due to the protection of
conveys and on the Atlantic there is
constantly going on part of the great
epic of this war, though a part that is
taken in silence and obscurity.
