1T should be firmly and clearly i'm
planted in the public mind that the
work of the Food administration is not
merely national but international, "
declares Thomas B. Stearns, Federal
Food Administrator for Colorado. 1t
Is the largest relief work the world
has ever known. Our first duty ia to
see that the armies fighting the battles
for the world democracy in the trenches
are properly supplied with wholesome
food. Perhaps second in Importance
is the necessity for keeping before
the people of the nations associated
with US in the war assurance that their
food requirements are to be met
in sufficient degree to sustain life SO
there will be no food panics in those
countries based upon fear that this
nation will not live up to the obliga-
tons now placed upon it by destiny.
It is true that food will win the war,
and equally true that lack of food can
bring defeat. This is true that if the
people Of this country could but under
stand how vitality essential is the sue
cess of the food program proposed by
the food administration, much of the
difficulty Of all problems Of food con-
servation would disappear, because the
call Of humanity and patriotism would
lead all Americans to meet the re-
quirements asked of them.

Of National Defense: IAN ranks of

unite in heartfelt thanks to the women
Of America for their love and their
Prayers. The patriotism of our incom-

best wishes for the coming year and
our firm confidence in our final success. -
The latest reports available indicate
that the Xmas Drive for ten millions
new members for the American Red
Cross has resulted in the addition Of
fully sixteen million names to its roll.
This number added to the more than
the six million members before Christ
mas Campaign makes the total present
enrolment fully twenty-five million.
This is a magnificent fact; an express
sion not alone of patriotism. but of
the fine sympathy and idealism of the
whole American people. The Red
Cross War Council congratulates and
welcomes every new member of the
American Red Cross; likewise it con-
graduates the officers and old members
Of the organization who haye given
unstintedly of their time and effort to
make this membership campaign q
success; but the wonderful achieve
ment of enrolling one-fifth of the en-
tire population of the United States az
members of the American Red Cross is
less triumph than it is call to greater
service. The Red Cross is not merely
q humanitarian organization, seperate
and distinct from others, but it is the
mobilized heart and spirit Of the whole
American people. The American Red
Cross is carrying message Of love and
sympathy to the American soldiers and
sailors and to the troops and civilian
population of our allies in all parts of
the world; it is seeking to alleviate the
suffering incident to the war; it is
seeking to shorten the war, and it is
seeking to lay foundation for . more
enduring peace when the war is over.
As we stand on the threshold Of . new
year in this hour of world tragedy,
there can be but one thought in the
members. of the American Red Cross
and that is to serve and sacrifice As
never before"

CATTLE INDUSTRY IS
FloURIsH|NG ON CANAL
Large Areas of Forest Cleared
and 100000 Head Soon viii
Be Grazing.

The policy Of raising cattle for the
use of the employees Of the Panama
canal and the military and naval
forces there has transformed the ap-
pearance of the canal zone.
, Large areas of forest and Jungle
along the railway and the canal have
been cleared off and planted in guinea
grass, and the big herds Of cattle may
be seen browsing in the valleys or on
the slopes Of the many hills. Many
thousands of acres have been cleared
already, and the work is still going on.
A big dairy is also operated, and in
time all the beef, milk and cheese
needed on the isthmus may be pro-
duced there.
The guinea grass originally was an
African plant, but has been establish
ed In the West Indies and parts of the
continent for long time. It is a
heavy, rank grass, often reaching a
height Of ten feet, stooling freely and
roofing deeply. 1t is particularly val.
liable, as it destroys almost any other
vegetation, a quality of great utility
In the tropics. It propagates both from
seed and roots and spreads quite rap.
idly.
The para grass is grown in a limited
extent also in low and wet soils. It Is
not as desirable as guinea grass, but is
eaten by both cattle and horses. Para
grass is the great prevailing plant of
the lower Amazon valley, as it is not
injured by the periodic foundations.
The cattle industry in the canal zone
is especially favored by the fact that
Gatun lake supplies plenty Of water
during the dry season, it's branches
ramifying through the many hills and
mountains and making fresh water
avilable in all the pastures. The zone
may support herd of 100000 head of
cattle without trenching upon the
areas used for agricultural and horti.
cultural purposes.
