A food map of Europe today shows
not single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only q small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even in the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in different rela-
tion from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
OF Serbia, must be included In this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil. and she

gions, with conditions most serious in
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al.
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are In the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least minimum of 20O00,000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,O00 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
viii be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen We will see In ether parts Of
Europe repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.

THE COUNTY FAIR

How about a county fair for Sedg-
wick county this fall? Are we GO
ing to pass up the fair for this year
or are We going to get blsy and do
something along that line:
1t is rank mistake 70 wait until
few weeks Before and then try to
maize arrangements for the holaing of
.air-if we are going to stage the
event, it is certainly time to g.t susy
and appoint he committees and make
he necessary preliminary arrange
ments.
If we are to .old the fair this fall
meeting should I've called in the near
future-the sooner the better. 1t is
true that we are in the midst of war
times, and we are being called upon 10
lend our money to the Government
and large majority of the citizens
of Sedgwick county have done this to
the best of their ability. But our
government has told US that certain
amount of amusement, recreation and
entertainment is necessary to keep up
the proper spirit of the American peo-
pie. and We know of no more bcnefi-
cial amusement enterprise than the
county fair, where the people of this
and adjoining counties gather to-
gather for few days recreation
Never in the history of Sedgwick
county can it be said the county fair
was detriment, but instead it has
been benefit in number of ways
TEis year we could have the assistance
of the County Agricultural Agent in
securing a splendid display of exhibits

definitely decided whether or not the
far will be held this fail One OF
two persons cannot make the fair a
success; it will take the cooperation
of the majority of the citizens of the

If we are going to have the fair
this year let's wake up and get busy
for the time is short. The question
is as Sedgwick county going tc
have the county fair this fall, or are
we going to pass it by?" Who will
start the bal! to rolling. Perhaps a
public meeting would be the best way
at which meeting the sentiment of the
people could be asccrtained as tc
whether or not it was the wish of the

My dear Mr. Patton-This COM

that very kind and complimentary
message, l stated at the time that II,
instead of recommending that l be a
candidate for reelection, you were
actually rendering me certificate of
election, l would not then be able to
accept it. 1t seemed to me also, as l
then stated. that there existed no rea-
son why an immediate decision was
necessary.
| In view of the fact that the Repub-
lican Judicial Assembly has been call
ed for the afternoon of July II, and
one of the county assemblies has al
ready been held, it now seems that jus
tice to those interested demands that
my position be no longer in doubt.
Hence, | write to say that | am not
now and have not been candidate for
denomination or reelection as judge
of this district. have already ad-
vised Judge Stephenson to this eff

trict who have honored me in the past

men who at all times have supported
and upheld me, irrespective of politi-
cal affiliations, and with best wishes
