ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL

A general iden Of the quantity OF
food sent TO European allies by the
United States from July /, 1914, TO
January !, 1918 is given by figures
Just announced by the U. S. Food Ad
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,100,033 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro
tein to supply this portion Of the diet
for 22,l9l,570 additional men.
The total export OF wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal niles is
equivalent to about 3S4, 900 900 bushels
Pork exports for the 3h years amount
ed to almost 2,000OO0. 900 pounds. Ex
ports Of fresh beef totaled 43,4S4. .4ON
pounds. The amount Of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso
lated In India. and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored l0o.O00.OO0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there we're no ships.
Then came the new crop with
un exportable surplus of S0,000,.
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1s0,O00,OO0 bush.
els waiting for ships.
india, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export During April
50,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels OF wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
urw crop win add l35,000,OOO to
the lcfi over
1, Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world It is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation OF divid.
mg our stock with the Allies.

RED CEB NURSE HERE

Miss E1Ktine Miller, repre-
senting the American Red
Cross, lectured at the Presby-
terian chuEeh at this place last
the soldiers try to choose works
Monday afternoon to a large
and appreciative audience; She
spoke for two hours, but her
picture of battle-scarred Eu-
rope, and especially of France,
her native country, were so Wv
id that the audience listened at
tentively' throughout the lee
ture.
Miss Miller is just back from
France, where she went from
this country soon after the dec
laration of war, and she has
seen a great deal of service in
the Red Cross hospitals, in
some instances being at first
aid hospitals just behind the
battle lines. ,
The necessity of the Red
Cross was presented in such a
way as will not soon be forgot
ten by those who heard the lee
ture, and her graphic descrip-
ton of the work behind the fir
ing line could only have been
given by one who had been
there and seen much service in
hospital work.
Miss Miller said we must sac
rifice and continue to make sac
rifices in order to meet the ur-
gent demand of the American
and allied soldiers on the firing
line; that no one who had not
been in touch with a modern
battlefield had any conception
of what war is now; that a bat
tie under modern conditions
would have to be fought close
to our doors before we could
form any idea of what modern
war is. She also said that the
American people should prac-
tice economy as never before,
and that they should feel a
pride in saving in order that
the demands of our government
and of the allies be met. In
other words that the job of the
civilian was to support the ar
my in the field, and that they
must not fall down on their
| job.
At the conclusion of her lee
ture, Miss Miller stated that
Arkansas apportionment of
the fund for maintaining the
American Red Cross hospitals
Women's Over Seas Hospitals
two of which are located behind
| the battle lines of France, was
:. 49,. 10000 and that she ex.
pecfed the people of Washing
ton to contribute $4,000 as their
quota. In response a subscrip-
tion of $500 was raised and
those subscribing to the fund
were requested to turn their
amounts over to Miss Exa Olive

The Germans are claiming
big successes in their drive a.
gainst the American lines, but
about the only success they
have had was in sacrificing the
lives of hundreds of their SOL
diers and making no permanent
gains. This may be success
from Emperor Bills point of
view; he said he was prepared
to sacrifice 100000 men on the
western front, and he has GER
tainly succeeded in doing this

their wheat to farmers who
have not wheat for seed purpo-
ses. They must first satisfy
their county food administrator
that such sales are for seed
purposes. We prefer that
small surplus wheat be kept in
the community in which it was
grown and that every induce
ment be made to get largert
wheat crops. In every instance,
however, farmers with wheat
should get in touch with their
county food administrator, who
will assist them in every way
possible.
Farmers who take wheat to
the mill for flour for their own
use should not at any time take
home from the mill more than
a thirty days supply of flour
The mill will have a record of
the wheat ground and the flour
the farmer is entitled to, but he
should limit his amount of
flour from wheat he grew to a
thirty days supply, and at the
end of the month get another
months supply"
