 Drowned.

2 LBS. PER MONTH FOR EACH PERSON .IS LAST RULING

After making a careful survey of the world sugar shortage situation, the United States Food Administra- tion has asked the American public to use no more than two pounds of sugar per person a month. Americans are requested to make two pounds of sugar per person (half a pound a week) serve for all sugar uses in the household, including cooking and all sugar served at the table.
 Since requesting the American pub lie to confine the consumption of su- gar in the home to two pounds per person per month, the United States Food Administration has been ire quently asked what sort of sugar is in cluded by this two pound regulation.
 All cane and beet sugars are includ- ed-granulated sugar, cube sugar, powdered sugar, and all refined grades. Moreover, this two pound restriction includes all raw sugars, and refiners' soft sugars.
 At the present time maple sugars are not included.
 We must conserve sugar now:
 To equalize more nearly the sup plleS or all WHO Sll dL common la ble-that the people of England may have 2 pounds per person per month, the people of France 1 1-2 pounds per person per month, the people of Italy 1 pound per person per month. To meet the Allied shortage.
 To release ships formerly used in the sugar trade to carry soldiers and supplies to Europe
 T. rnake up the loss of beet sugar lands and factories captured or de- stroyed by the Germans in northern France and Italv.
 Ships which would have kept up the l flow of sugar have been sunk. 1 Twenty-six thousand tons of sugar were lost recently in submarine raids upon our Atlantic coast. Fifty thou sand tons of sugar carrying shipping were transferred to meet the require nIents of Belgian relief

NOT FIGHTING A
 SECRET WARFARE AGAINST GERMANS
Lord Northcliffe Highly Praises Aid Given Allies
 by the Americans.

London, Friday, Aug. 16--American aid in the war was given high praise by Viscount Northcliffe today in well coming representatives of the overseas press and other distinguished guests to a reception at the Times office.
 Lord Northcliffe explained that he dilated on American efforts because through the Times his words would reach Germany and because "I think it wise that they as we'll as ourselves should know what lies in the womb of the future in regard to the United States
 He told of Americas efforts\on sea and land. in transport ship building. manufacture of airplanes, food pro- duction and other things. He esti- mated America would produce 10000 liberty motors monthly and that its ether war efforts are on a similar huge scale.
 America is fighting public war and not a secret war said Lord North cliffe, in discussing the censorship. He added.
 Their government is frank with them about the war and I think that has had deal to do with the &C., celeration of shipbuilding to an ex- tent I had believed almost inpossi- ble''
 Lord Northcliffe complained that the British censorship had kept hid hen the best efforts of the British na- ton and its allies. He contrasted British and American methods with regard to casualties, adding that Brit ish casualties last year in killed, wounded and missing were s00,0
 After announcing the pacif1sts Lord Northcliffe concluded:
 The right place to make peace and where I believe peace will be mad is in Berlin or Potsdam"

It is possible there will be no per- sonal union of the crowns of Poland and Austria, but the King Of Poland is certain to be an Austrian archduke, says the correspondent, who adds that the discussion at German headquar- ters had the following basis:
 "The Germans demanded that Aus tria send to the western front from 10 to Is divisions of picked troops. confning themselves to the defensive on the Italian front.
 Emperor Charles and his advisers made the counter demands that Ger many make further declarations re- garding Belgium, guaranteeing evacu- ation, restoration and an indemnity, make powerful movement in the de- rection Of peace and that the Polish question be solved in a manner favor able to Austrian wishes.
 The advisers of the Austrian Elm peror it is declared, emphasized that the opposition of Austrian military and public opinion of the transfer of troops to the western front was uni versal. This opposition could only be quiet if the government was assured of Polish support, which could be ob- tained by securing from Germany con- sessions on the account of Poland, and if the public could be shown the German government had been infiu- enced in the direction of another strong effort to obtain peace. Short of this, Austria would not send troops to the western front.

By P. G. HOLDEN.

The demand for an increased pro- duction and conservation of food products, that America and her allies may win the war; the fixing of feed prices by the food administrator, and the searching inquiry into the cost of milk production recently made in sev- eral of the large cities. have brought the entire nation to a realization of the importance of agriculture.
 The people understand better than they ever did before that farming is a business; that it is not only a bus mess, but an exact science. They now know, what they never realized be- fore, that the farmer is as certainly a business man as any other producer or manuufacturer that the successful farmer is as much of a scientist as those in charge of the most complete and elaborate laboratory
 No other business man is called upon to solve so great a variety of problems or meet so many or varied conditions as the farmer; no other scientist must be expert in so many different lines of scientific work.
 No other problem confronts the business man that the farmer is not compelled to solve, and there are other conditions which he has to solve every year that no other set of bus mess men are ever called upon to combat
 The farmer has much capital in vested in land, buildings, stock and

 Responsibility of Ownership.
 Whether he owns the land he farms or is only a tenant, the farmer has the same responsibility of ownership as any man engaged in banking or mer- cantile pursuits. And every hour, from the day he puts his seed into the ground until he converts his crop into cash, he faces more risks than any other class of business men.
 During the growing season he is subjected to the whims and uncer- tainties of weather and climate He runs the risk of complete loss through hail, rain and wind, and after the crop is grown and stored, there is still risk in the marketing of the product. whether it is milk, grain, hay, live stock or other products
 It requires more brains to be a good farmer than to conduct any other business The emergency of war has done much to give farming its proper place as the most important of human activities and has demonstrated that l the farmer is entitled to and should receive a just and fair compensation for his thought, care, labor and re- sponsibilfty in growing his crop.

 creating the economic loss to lour fod suply.
 The use of incubator eggs is not as common as it should be. With the
 pest breeding stock and the most care full incubation, some eggs will be in fertile. If these eggs are tested out from the 5th to the 7th day, their food
 value has not been decreased, and they are perfectly wholesome for human
 consumption. If such eggs are not needed in the home. they may be sold on the market at a reasonable price.
 It is, of course necessary that they be carefully candled to meet the mar
 ket requirements.
 The infertile eggs that have broken yolks or are watery, together with the
 blood rings and dead germs may be boiled for twenty minutes and fed to the poultry or hogs. Do not. under any condition, feed raw incubator eggs to poultry.

 is sometimes quite expensive because of the time required. In large com
 mercial hatcheries, a strong electric l light or hashligflt is passed under the I tray to locate the eggs in which a chick is not developing. These eggs
 must, of course, be passed before the 1 candle to grade out those not suitable
 for human consumption. Sunshine is 1 the best light for candling. It may be | used by darkening a room and holding

 Another group of dairymen lost nearly four times this amount. What was the difference in these dairies Surely the man cannot be overlooked, but the fact remains that there were other things. It was not the market. It was not the breed of cows It was not the cost of feed. It was largely
