U. s. DOES MUCH
 BY THE SAVING
 OF THE GRAINS

LONDON, July 10.--Sir William Goode, of the British food ministry, has given the people of the United States great praise. He declares that they have kept the allied na- tions of Europe supplied with wheat products and that it has come about through voluntary sacrifice of the American people. Eighty millions of bushels of wheat extra were called for and were sent to Europe, and of the eighty million bushels it is estimated that at least fifty million were saved by the self-imposed food restrictions of the United States. The fifty million bushels added very greatly to the maintaining of the food supplies when the surplus was exceedingly small.

THE CONTRACTS
 ARE TO CLOSE
 AT THE PLANTS

PHILADELPHIA, July 1O.-The emergency fleet corporation has or dered that in the future all ship contracts be closed directly at the shipbuilding plants. In the past there has been great wasting of precious time by bids being sent in from the Pacific coast, and the num- erous delays as to building facilities and correspondence concerning the plans as carried on. It is believed that the construction can be much hastened by having the contracts closed at the plants. There is a big effort on foot to do away with all red tape in connection with ship building, and everything is being sac rificed for the sake of speed in

TAXES
 MAY BE BIGGER

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1O.- The luxury tax suggestions which have been submitted by the treas ury department are being very seri- ously considered by the ways and means committee of the house. A very close study of all conditions is being made.
 The suggestions which have been made include a doubling of the taxes on tobacco, liquors, soft drinks, mems and women's wearing apparel, auto mobiles and gasoline. Many other commodities have been mentioned, but are not so seriously considered.
 The consideration of these sugges- tions has given rise to storm of protest throughout the country. The opposition of many is very apparent.

BULGARIA GETS
 TIRED OF WARS
 IN MACEDONIA

LONDON, July 1O-The French headquarters in Macedonia report that the Bulgarian assertions in Macedonia are increasing greatly Hundreds of men have approached the French lines both singly and in parties, and have even asked to join the French colors. In many in stances the patrol parties have found numbers waiting for capture. There has been very close questioning of these deserters, and in all cases they agree that they have lost all hope of ultimate victory and are looking for the easiest way out of the struggle. Information concern ing the activities on the western front and in Italy is kept away from the Bulgarian soldier, but the atti- tude of the officers together with what little information they get from outside sources and from the French is enough to let them know tlfe true situation.

ND MORE COAL
 FOR BREWERIES

. WASHINGTON. D. C., July 10.- Fuel Administrator Garfield has noti- fled the brewers that they could not count on any more coal. They will be allowed enough to finish the manufacturing of the materials already in the process, out after the finishing of the present lot of material they must close down.
 MT. Garfield said that the action has to be taken because of the pres ent shortage of transportation and mining facilities. Many of the min CTS are taking up other work. and there is an increased demand in the industries which are necessary for the carrying on of the war. All that possibly can be done to relieve the car shortage is being done by the railroad head, but there is a shortage of cars which cannot be remedied.

There could scarcely be a worse time for it, as there would be tying up of all tugs and ship ping along the coast from Washing ton to Alaska The salmon run is on and there is great need for the transportation of Sitka spruce. which is used for airplane construction. A great number of fishermen are at work catching salmon and a great loss would follow any such strike.

 FOR SOLDIERS
 ABOUT PANAMA

PANAMA, July 10.-Government orders have been issued to better the conditions at Panama and Colon where the American soldiers are sta toned.

 In serving out their sentences the prisoners were put to work digging ditch back of the town for sani. tary purposes, draining off many of the small lakes there, to which has been attributed much of the sick ness prevalent in the town. Since the stagnant water has been drained off the general health of the camp has improved.

SICKNESS
 BEEN REPORTED

In rendering his monthly report from the district in which he is stationed Deputy Mcclure of Fort Yukon states that there has been much sickness there during the past few weeks owing to the stagnant water surrounding the town. About half of the native population has been down with colds and about the same proportion of the whites from the same cause. Commissioner White was confined to his home for a week.
 Two deaths were reported among the natives; Black River Charley died on June 16 from stomach trou- ble and Chas. Sandia from tuber- culosis.
 The fur catch there was exceed ingly slim, he reports, and the fur that came in for marketing was of little value, the trappers being hard ly able to command prices good enough to secure another outfit with. About half of the fur offered was from the Chandler and was nearly all poisoned skins. Black and silver grey fox belts were offered as low as $25 and no buyers. so poor was the quality of the catch.
 The main reason assigned for the poor quality of the fur was that of the action of the white trappers using poison for the taking of wolf and fox, the poison being scattered throughout the trapping grounds. with the result that the entire coun- try has been depleted of it's most valuable fur-bearing animals.
