SUI [llf|O IHAl
EFFORT IS
NEEDED
TO FILL OUT FLORIDA'S QUOTA
IN UNITED WAR WORK-LET
ALL HANDS LAY HOLD AND
PULL WITH THE LAST OUNCE
OF THEIR STRENGTH.
Especial to the Starr

Jacksonville, Nov. 16.-It will take
q superhuman effort between now and
Monday to put Florida's million over
the top in the United War Work cam
paign, according to the reports re-
ceived at state headquarters last
night.
This state which has gone through
in every previous war campaign is
tagging far behind every other state
in the South, both in the amount of
money raised and the percentage of
quota released. Up to last night the
total reports from all sections of the
state showed almost one hundred
thousand dollars less than the half
million mark, with three-fourths of
the campaign time elapsed.
No district of the state has yet
gone over the top and in some Sec
tions the reports show discouraging
slump. This is in contrast with re-
ports from other states in the South
which have had the flu and all the
other campaigns Florida has had,
which are reporting many districts
over the top already and indications
of entire states going. over the top
today.
Associated Press papers carried
stories this morning that the morale
in the home camps was fast ebbing
away and absent without leave" one
of the black marks against the sol
dier's career, had been very evident
since the armistice announcement. In
an official statement Provost Marshal
Crowder calls attention to the fact
that it will be months before the men
return from the other side and points
out the dire need of the seven agen-
cies in this campaign and critical
work ahead of them.
Florida's total subscription record
ed up to last night was $40, 900. The
districts, including several counties
which are leading in the state, are
Tampa district, $125, 700; Jacksonville
district, 100000; Miami district, $751;
900; Arcadia district, $4,000, and
Pensacola district, SIG, 900. With this
showing it is imperative that every
section and community in the state
redouble it's efforts toward big over
subscription. Now that the boys have
won, the man who stayed at home who
cannot loosen his heart strings and
purse strings is not worth the name
! of citizenship. His attitude is thar
they were willing to die for me and
now that it is over I should worry;
I'm done with them. But that is not
the attitude of Florida and if the
work of raising the fund must be
! doubled and doubled again, the state
headquarters feels confident that the
/ state will come through.

SEA ISLAND COTTON SITUATION
Frank Clark Busy in Behalf Of Ou1
Farmers

Editor Star: AS goodly number
of our citizens have been writing me
lately with reference to the Sea ISL
and cotton situation, and particularly
with refernce to the absence of de-
mand for this cotton and the conse-
quent low price, respectfully ask
space in your columns to submit a
few observations.
This matter has givens me no little
concern because realize that this is
the crop from which our farmers
must get money with which to mket
their obligations, and have there
fore made very thorough investiga-
ton to ascertain the cause or causes
which have produced practically no
demand for our cotton. Of course,
we all know that the war Industries
board permitted the importation of
$4,000 bales of Egyptian cotton,
which while not as good cotton as
our Sea Island, makes very good
substitute for it. vigorously pro-
tested against this action. because I
knew that every pound of this cotton
brought into America was an injus-
tice to our people engaged IN grow
ing Sea Island cotton, but while this
importation could not be prevented
orders have been issued positively
prohibiting the further importation
of this product. The dumping Of this
large amount Of foreign long staple
cotton on our home market, Of course
had the effect of materially reducing
the demand for the home product. In
addition to this practically all the
mills and industries of the country
which use Sea Island cotton in the
manufacture of their product, have
been producing other articles needed
for war purposes. and therefore have
not been purchasing cotton.
/ had an interview on yesterday
with Mr.. Baruch, who is at the head
of the war industries board, and he
advises me that it is their purpose
no VITO raise the ban and allow all
the industries Of the country TO re-
sumo their accustomed work at the
earliest possible day, and this is go-
ing to create a tremendous demand
AOf ouI OSd 4SldIlu COtLUll, dllQ III COu-
sequence the price will rapidly go to
satisfactory figure. 1t is the pur-
pose of the government to rush food
to Germany where there is great
scarcity among the masses and as
soon as this problem is in q measure
solved, it is certainty that their
mills will be started up and of course
this will make tremendous demand
on this country for cotton. Not only
will the German mills need an enor-
nous quantity but all over Europe
there will arise calls for the product.
which added to the demand of home
manufacturing enterprises for our
staple viii send the price soaring. 1t
seems to me that in view of the short
crop and the almost immediate un-
precedented demand for cotton our
farmers, by all means, should devise
some plan whereby they may be able
to hold their cotton long enough to
reap the full advantage of this ex-
pected, and / might say, practically
assured, rise in the price "of the pro-
duct" Respectfully,
Frank Clark
Washington, November IA.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT ;
 v. HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder. standing about the bread program in England. It is true that the English man buys loaf of bread for less than an American can, but it is poorer bread, and the British government is paying $200. 100000 a year toward the cost of 1t.
 All the grain grown in Great Brit ain is taken over by the government at an arbitrary price and the imported wheat purchased on, the markets at the prevailing market price. This Is turned over to the mills by the govern ment at a price that allows the adul- terated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf at 9 cents and the one pound loaf at 5 cents. :
 . In France. under conditions some what similar, but with larger ex- traction, the four pound loaf sells for 16 cents.

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

American stock breeders are being asked to conserve their flocks and herds in order to meet Europe's tre mendous demands for meats during the war and probably for many years afterward.
 The United States food admins tration reports that American stock ralsers 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 oth- CT 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 1,SOO,OOO head-were driven behind the German lines.
 But in England-where 2,4OO,OOO acres of pasture lands have been turn ed into grain flelds-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, $17.76 per 100 pounds; October SIPS; i; November and December, $16OS; Jan lary, $144O. The effect of these prices was to drive beef animals on the mar ket as soon as possible. "
 In France the number of cattle as we'll as the quality have shown an enormous decline during the war. Where France had 14,8O7 ,OOO head of cattle in 1913, she now has, only s12,- 841, 300, a decrease of 18.8 per cent And France is today producing only one: gallon of milk compared. M 1.-two and one.half gallons before tie war
 Denmark and Holland have been forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beet because of the lack of necessary feed;
 Close study of the European meat situation has convinced the Food Adj mtnistration that the future problem of America lies largely in the producr tion of meat producing animals and dairy products rather than in the pro;s duction of cereals for export when the war will have ceased. s't

MAKING MEATLESs
 DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is fer tile field for developing new and nour- ishiny dishes. according to B. H. 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 1t worth while to develop menus of grain, vegetables and Ash 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 a fla voring for other food In making ap meatless menus this author fiads our American Creole and southern cuisine q broad field for investigation.

NEED Z WRAPPERS FOR
 LITTLE SOLDIERS

The following letter was received by Mrs. Jack Bernhardt who had charge of the shipping of several Christmas boxes to soldiers in Camp Pike and Camp Beauregard. Surely, some of the Pine Bluff women who are knitting for the soldiers, might make one sweater just a wee bit smaller for these two soldier boys. After having such severe spell of weather in our city, and we in our comfortable homes are not succeeding in keeping "Jack Frost" away from the doors. Any one who will volunteer to do this little bit for your country's fighting men, please phone Mrs. Benhardt at 1455.
 Camp Beauregard, La. Dear Mrs. Bernhardt:-
 I hate to be asking you for favor, after 1 received such good Christmas box from you. But the fact is, there are two boys in my company, who are a little smaller than the regular sol- dier, and are in need of sweaters to help keep out some of this Arctic weather. All the sweaters that came in the Red Cross shipment are too large. If some good ladies in your city could find the time to knit them sweaters, the act would be greatly ap- preciated by
 Your friend,

MORE STOCKING TWEEN
 SKIRT HEM AND SHOES
Charley Leverenz, Back from Shoe Mems Convention, Says Tops
 to be Lower.

In the effort to reduct the cost of shoes, manufacturers will appeal tc the government to adopt regulations providing that tops of ladies' shoes shall not be more than 8 1-2 inches high. This was decided upon at the nation convention of shoe manufactu- rers and dealers at Chicago last week, according to Charles E. Leverenz, who returned from the convention several days ago.
 "1t was unanimous opinion that something must be done to hold down the price of shoes" said MT. Lever eng. "There is only one thing to do, with leather as it is: make the tops of shoes lower. The shoe men will ask government aid, because tH only way to bring about general observance of the plan to make shoes-ladies' shoes especially-lower in price is to use less leather in their manufacture"
