An entire train load of these men
have just been sent TO one of the

Paris, Aug. 2S.-Lieutenant Schwie-

sailor seized his arm. He refused to
answer questions, but an examination

Food Administration Bulletin.

Any producer of wheat who is salts
fed that he is not receiving fair price
for his wheat is authorized to send a
two-pound sample to the Food Admin
istration Grain Corporation, Frank L
Carey, second vice president, Mime
apolis, MINI. Mr.. Carey will grade
the wheat and make returns to the
producer, also stating the price the
mill or elevator should pay for same
If the producer has not been paid a
fair price, the buyer will be requested
by the U. s. food administration to pay
the difference to the producer.
No corn starch shall be sold for
human consumption or for mixing as
an ingredient of human food if it con-
tains more than $1,000 of one per cent
of sulphur dioxide. It is also agreed
that food starch shall be so branded

Reports that the Canadian govern
ment is placing no restrictions on the
use of sugar are denied by the U. s.
food administration. Canada has rules
similar to our own and asks her peo-
pie to use only a pound and half
where Ne are requested to limit our
selves to two pounds.
Seventy-five per cent OF the sugar
used in this country has to be brought
here in ships. Every possible ship is
needed for the transportation of
troops and supplies to the other side.
The rich people of Belgium are
spending their capital, the people of
the middle clas are completely ruined,
and the laboring class, the majority of
whom are unemployed, are on the
verge Of starvation and entirely de-
pendent on relief from outside. What
food supplies are raised in the occu-
pied areas of Belgium and France are
used by Germany to feed her troops
as shown by her official reports. For
instance, they say: "In 1917, 100000
hundredweight of jam were made"
(This was from supplies raised in oc-
cupied regions.)
In withdrawing the restriction on
the beef ration the desire Of the food
administration is not primarily to in
crease the consumption of beef as a
whole, but to induce preference in
favor Of the lighter weight cattle, of
which we have an abnormal surplus.
This would bring about a conserva-
ton of the heavier cattle needed for
our soldiers and for export to our
allies. At the same time it will afford
a measure of protection through in
creased outlet for cattle raisers in the
drouth afflicted areas.
The extreme drouth of the great
cattle producing sections is endanger-
ing the meat herds and as result the
presnt cattle runs are so per cent
heavier than in the corresponding
period of last year. The larger part
of this stock is below the most de-
sirable market weights and would
normally remain on the ranges until
it had attained larger growth. So
far as is practicable, these cattle are
being moved to sections where condi.
lions Of gras. grain and water are
more favorable. The surplus must
however, be handled. Restrictions or
beef consumption in this country have
been removed therefore, but the people
are asked to eat the lighter cuts OF
beef to let the heavier go to our SOL
.diers in the trenches.

After the lecture short time will be

OF India,
The lecture Of Richard Kennedy con-
corning the life and folklore OF the
American Indians deserves a second
mention. Mr., Kennedy is man OF wide
experience as public speaker. His
legends and narratives are a wonder.
full presentation OF Indian life, and his
lectures are OF such intense and grip

please or satisfy the most exacting.
That the Chautauqua management
has been doing its utmost to make its
message to the people and its contri-
button to the nation in the war against
Germany as effective as possible is evil
denced by the fact that two unusually
strong lecturers upon war subjects have
been secured.
The first OF these is Ex-Gov Chester
A, Aldrich, OF Nebraska, who is one of
the most prominent patriotic workers
in the Middle West, Prior to the open
ing OF the Chautauqua season Mr., AL
drich will go to Washington to attend
special conferences on food and on the
work of the American Red Cross and
on the conservation of youth, and on
the general problems of labor and in
dustry and commerce brought on by
the war, so that he will be able to give
the correct Interpretation, in the light
OF the most authentic governmental in
formation, of the various problems
which confront the nation.
The second is Hon Harry G.. Settler,
American ex-Consul of Breslau Mr..
Settler went to Germany in 1914 just
at the outbreak of the great war, and
remained there, except for a short fur
Tough, until diplomatic relations were
severed with the United States. He was
member of Ambassador Gerard's
party upon leaving Germany. His lee
ture describes wildly internal condi-
tons in Germany, the high-handed ar
rogance of the Kaiser, the merciful acti-
vites of the American Red Cross in the
Breslau district, and many other facts
which are of especial interest in view
of the unprecedented show of power
which Germany is making this spring.
Mr.. Settlers lecture promises to be one
of unusual strength and interest.
All in all great treat is in store for
everybody. 1t is planned to put the
season tickets on sale at least a month
in advance, and it will greatly assist
the local committee if everyone will
plan to get their tickets early.
