NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Ever
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their fiocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendOuS demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterWard.
The United States food admins
tratiOn reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition TO
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-Where 100000
acres of pasture lands have heen turn
ed into grain felds-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly One of the
| reasons apparently is the declining
| maximum price scale adopted by the
! English as follows: For September,
| $17.T6 per 100 pounds October, SIPS +;
November and December, $1608; jan
! larry, Sl440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
| ket rs soon as possible
! In France the number of cattle as
! well as the quality have shown an
! enormous decline during the war
| Where France had 14,807 600 head Of
| cattle in 1913, she now has only H.
81 900, a decrease of 1865 per cent.
! And France is today producing only
| one gallon of milk compared to two
and One-half gallons before the war
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
| because OF the lack of necessary feed
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
| ministratiOn that the future problem
| Of America lies largely in the produc
| ton of meat producing animals and
| dairy products rather than in the pro-
| duction of cereals for export when
| the war will have ceased.

OYSTERS: THE
FOOD THAT
HAS NOT
"GONEUP''

An animal food which practically
has not increased in cost for Is years,
and the production Of which has kept
pace with the growth of population,
is a present-day anomaly worthy of
public attention.; especially when it's
price brings it within the reach of all
and its excellence leaves little to be
desired. This is the case of the oys-
ter, probably the only food animal
which has not shared in the general
increase in the cost of commodities.
1t is not possible to compare retail
prices with accuracy; but between 1900
and 1915 the wholesale quotations of
canned and fresh oysters in New York
were either practically stationary or
in the extreme did not increase over
10 per cent, and recently the oyster
man and the oyster grower have re-
ceiyed actually slightly lower price
than they did rs years ago. This oc-
Cured notwithstanding that the av-
erage quality of oysters has improved
during that time as result Of oyster
culture and in the face of a great in
crease in the cost of the clancy" oys-
ters, listed by name on menus and con-
sumed by the luxurious few. The oys-
ter Of the multitude is better than ever
and about as cheap. Compare these
facts with the Is to rs per cent in
crease in the cost of eggs, poultry
and meats.
The above article will explain it.
self, but with such reliable informa-
ton coming from the department of
commerce Washington, D. c., we can
not understand why the price of oys-
ters in Grand Rapids, Wisconsin is
just exactly double what it was two
years ago. We can recall the select
oysters in cans at forty cents and bulk
oysters at thirty-fiva cents a quart,
retail in our local markets. The
wholesale price of oysters, we are in
formed by the above article, in New
York city has been about the same for
the past twenty-five years and this
winter has been a little bit lower than
usual Why should the retail price
in Grand Rapids be double what it was
two years ago? Where is the mig
ger?"

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT,

In the meatlesS menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nour-
iShing dishes, according TO Z. II. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage Of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years. thus making it worth while TO
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
voring for other food. In making up

FOOD WINS THE WAR
 DON'T WASTE IT
REscuING THE REAL GERMANY

From the KuicAerbocker Press,
 The position ot the loyal Ameri- can of German descent Is generally recognized as most difficult, calling for sympathy and comprehension on Ire part oI those who haye uo such trouble. A strong word, and one or prc.ound common sense, Aas been spoken for these individuals by Hans Ziussev. professor Oc bacter- iologv iu t5e Columbia university school of medicine. Dr. ZinSSer, writing ia the Columbia University Quarterly, reminds h.s fellow Am- ericaus that only those among them of Sermau stock are deprived in this war oi Ihe satisfaction oL fighting shoulder to shoulder with mn Of their own race, and of ren- derlng service alike 10 the country 0t their birth and the country of their fathers.
 Of Americans of German blood. Dr. Ziusser remarks further that there are those among them who have been brought up iu what they considered the best German tradi- lions. They have been taught 1T m childhood her literature and >er music. They have studied in her universities and her laboratories and have taken grateful pride in the memories ot their immediate foretathers. But al this has been swamped and plowed under by the policy oP merciless and matertalistic efficiency with which harsh and bureaucratic government has sue ceeded iu hypnotiziug q whole peo- pie. Under these circumstances, who can have more reason for re sentiment or 8 stronger desire to see the German military power de fealed than We who had pride in the attributes which We considered the true characteristics of the best German blood?
 This is our '76. Perhaps We feel sbOut it much as the colonjsts felt when they gathered about the ar senal iu Concord or when they threw the tea into Boston harbor. They were English far more than we are German. Yet they fought be- cause their inherent sense of liberty had been violated. In the same way theIe are men and women of Gsrman lineage in this country who resent the policy of the present German ruling group much more acutcly than this is possible for Americans of pure Auglo-SaNOn blood. We are in this war with our hearts and our souls, not only be- cause our country has declared war, not only because of Beglium, Of Sertia, of the Lusitania, of the U- boass, of the Mexican plOts-suf- ficient reasons in themselyes-but in addition to all this because we believe that il is for us to redeem as far as we may the blot which has been stamped upon the mem ories of our fathers by a gov egDmeRI tagE Ws consider at the
