Minnesota.
Not a small part of its population

other really ambitious village should
have.
The past tense is used advisedly.
Isle, Mimi, still Is a village, stu

But in no other way can the past and

MUST CUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in Consume.
ton Very Great.
Food Administration Corrects Falae
impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

Observation-Disclosures press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun.
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect of the wheat
situation, both present and prospec-
tive, intensifies the need for the great
est possible limitation in the American
consumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed it would
result in serious want for the people
of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrators estimate
of the position on the first of June in
dicates total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
in country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators. of about 100000 bush
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export if we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 100000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
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.
The harvest will not be generally
available in -four until the middle OF
August or early September, although
in the extreme South it will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts
with its increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the
willing building up Of great national
reserves.

Berne.-The correspondent Of the
Berne Bund sends his paper q de-
scription Of life in Paris, which Is
published under the caption, 'War
Life in France; Paris as It Eats End
Saves" The article says: :
"Who would have thought possible
before the war a world city in exist
ence two days. march behind the bat
tie front? During the first war weeks,
after the governments departure to
Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything
is back. The big hotels never did
better than just now. In the streets
there is a traffic that has never been
beaten. The stranger notices the
many uniforms; he thinks the French

Lately, however, the Partisan e1-

ger under such circumstances.
Practice Economy.
Measures of economy are now taken
up in earnest. Who wants to drink
sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring
his own sugar or be satisfied with the
saccharine tablet the waiter will hand
him. Cakes, pastry and candy are not
made any longer. Confectioners are
put entirely out of business. The tea
houses, too, are in bad fix. No more
sugar or sweetmeats: not even sand
wiches, are to be had. And two francs
for such cup Of tea is pretty good
price.
'The authorities figure everybody
will be sensible enough to see that
saving is the patriotic duty Of every
non-combatant. Clever posters tell the
people transportation of food takes up
cargo space that ought to be used for
American troops and war material. So
every citizen can see he will hasten
the arrival Of American help and thus
support the French poilu by his own
moderation and abstemiOusness."

TRADE BOONS
President Makes Coco
Promise to Editors from
That Country.

President Wilson yesterday gave an
other shock to the German agents
in Mexico. who are trying to en-
broil that country into difficulties

Through Secretary of State Lam
sing he announced a radical modifi-
cation of the. embargo on exports to
benefit Mexico.
Corn for food, agricultural imple-

to be allowed TO go across the bor-
der to meet the needs of the Mexican
population.
I For this favor nothing Is demanded
OF Mexico in return. The hope is
expressed. merely, that the Mexican
government will continue to allow
commodities not imperatively needed
In Mexico to be exported to the
United States and will not permit
the commodities and food received
from the United States nor similar
commodities and food to be exported
to other countries"
In effect, the President was suiting
his actions to his words, and Civ

WAR GARDENS
NUMEROUS IN
STATES WEST
Commission Shows Increase
in South, Also, Over
Last Season.

War gardens in the United
States have increased 40 per cent
since last year. according to figures
being tabulated by the National
War Garden Commission.
THE greatest percentage Of in
crease" the commissions state-
ment adds, was made in the Cen
trail Western States and on the Pa
cific Coast.
"Of the total number of war
gardens in the country, more than
1000, 900 of them are in the Central
West There is a gain of more than
so per cent over the war garden ac-
tivity of last season.
The Eastern States show little
increase over last year. The amount
of food produced on the Atlantic
Coast this year will be slightly, If
any, greater than the previous sea-
son.
Better cultivation in hundreds
of cases make up for the lack in
numbers.
The South has made an excel
lent record. There are 1,246.OOO
war gardens in the Southern States
this year. one-fourth of the num-
ber in the entire United States"
The report states that the early
planting season this year made pos
sible by the favorable weather con-
ditions Is partly responsible for the
excellent crops in prospect.
Taking these early figures into
consideration" said Charles Lathrop
Pack. president of the commission,
I'VE feel safe in saying the 1.500,-
100000 quarts in tin and glass of
canned stun forecast by the depart
ment will be reached"
