SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.

Overshad0wing all other accomplish
ments Of the American people under
the leadership of Food Administration
is the history of wheat exports in the
past sixteen months. Our wheat ex-
port program proved concluslvely TO
the world that America was In this
war from start TO finish and willing TO
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight of
our war
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
is eased by the stopping of large move
ments of troops to Europe, we may re-
lax our efforts TO save wheat. The ac-
cumulated surplus in Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available. and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country
We In America and The nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the common table of the peo-
pies Of democracy
We entered the past crop year with
whc.d supply which gave us only
20,000,000 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent Ill 100000 bushels of wheat
To Europe. Tie American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
121 100000 bushels.
A survey OF export figures shows
that the conservation Of flour brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution In our kitchens
and bakeries, feAabled us TO send to
our armies and the allies $4,000, 900
barrels of white flour-wheat figured
rs flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, We would have been
able 10 ship less than 100000 barrels
Before the 1st Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 36000,000 bushels had been tax
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added TO the surplus
already shipped to the allies. 1t seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 100,000000
bushels by July l. But In January the
late Lord Rhondda. then British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,000,000
bushels he could not take responsi-
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending S5,000,000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first OF the
year and the advent OF the new crop.
BY October 10, 1918 we had already
shipped 65,960,305 bushels since July
l. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by July | OF next year
we will have sent more than 237 ,500,-
600 bushels TO Europe.
Thus are we making good America s
pledge that the bread rations Of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.

Home Is Where the Boy Is In

and while we ate talked of the boy who is
over there.
Il wonder if he is cold tonight" the mother
said, 81 wonder if he has place TO warm him.
self and dry his clothes; and something good TO
eat"
What wouldn't give to be with him." she
said and we were silent, knowing her heart.
But | thought of the Soldiers of Friendliness
who that very night would crawl out across No
Mans Land TO take chocolate and hot coffee TO
that boy.
OF the huts with their warm fires burning; of
the great lecturers and preachers and actors and
motion pictures that arc over there.
And thought to myself; There is diff
ference between this and every other war For
when the boys have marched away before, the
influence of their homes has stopped at the front
gate and could go no farther.
But in this war it follows the flag, across the
ocean, over the she'll torn battle land, straight
up TO the front line trenches.
Home is where the boy is in this war From
every town and village tie lines of helpfulness
run out.
And no boy leaves his home behind him:
step by step it travels with him, financed BY the
folks behind hin.-a token of their love.

skins run from 10 cents each for the
white ones to rs cents each for the
pure black. This will give us H.
900, 900 skins year, to sell ct an av-
erage of 80 cents each, making our
revenues about $4,000 day gross.
A man can skin five CATS per day
for $500. 1t will take about a hun
dred men to operate the ranch and
therefore the net profit will be about
$4,000 a day.
We will feed the cats on rats. In
order to do this it will be necessary to
start Rat Ranch next to The Cat
Ranch. The rats multiply four times
as fast as the cats. If we start with
900, O0O rats, we will lave four rats
per day for each cat, which is plenty.
Now, then, we will feed The rats on
the carcasses of the cats from which
the skins have been taken, giving
each rat fourth of cat.
1t will thus be seen that the Dusi-
ness will be self-acting ard automatic
all the way through. The cats will
eat the rats, and the rats will eat the
cats, and we will get the skins.
