Douglas Seward was an engineer,
and applied to Terence Craver;, a
contractor and builder of public
works, for a job on one Of his big
propositions in South America. Cra-
yer had one failing, and that was
his mania for the pursuit and pos
session Of beautiful women. Among
other things, he told Seward that he
would not employ any except a
married man for this job. "Ill give
you till the l4th to decide. Bring
your wife in then, and I'll have a
talk with her" And with that he
dismissed Seward. Now Douglas had
been too busy to marry, and the
proposition looked pretty hopeless
until one night he ran into Eileen
orion. Then things commenced to
happen at rate best shown in THE

1918 CANNING SEASON
IS VITAL TO VICTORY

Never before in the history of Amer
lea. has the canning season played
such an important part as ii does this
year House wives must can for vic
tory and can as much as possible.
Strawberries have come and are 60
ing-for another year unless wise
housekeepers pop them into cans and
store them in cool dark fruit closets
for winter. Berries of other sorts are
appearing, and from now on. practical
ly every week viii bring some new
fruit or vegetable upon the market
which should be stored away for win
ter food by the women of America who
understand TO how great an extent
their canning now means to the food
supply of the future.
Because the food administration rec
ogni1ed the tremendous assistance
American women would render by
canning and preserving the 25-pound
sugar arrangement was made. Any
one can. upon the signing OF a certifi-
cate stating that the sugar obtained is
10 be used for canning and preserving
purposes only. get as often as is nee
essary. rs pounds OF sugar at one
time. The certificates are held by the
retail grocer and are sent in to the
state food headquarters where they
are checked and filed.

HOOVER GIVES REASON
Low SUGAR SUPPLIES

"A number of causes have cumulat-
ed to make our sugar position more
difficult than We could have anticipat-
ed at the beginning OF the year" says
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover in communication
received by Federal Food Administra-
tor Thomas B. Stearns. The In
creased shipping needed by our grow
ing army in France has necessitated
the curtailment of sugar transporta-
tion, particularly from the longer voy-
age. and has thus reduced supplies
both to the allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some of the accessi-
BILE sugar producing areas have proved
a less yield than was anticipated such
as certain OF the West Indian Islands.
The domestic beet and Louisiana crops
have fallen below anticipation. There
has been some destruction OF beet su-
gar factories in the battle area of
France and Italy. We have lost sugar
by submarines.
AS close an estimate as we can
make indicates reasonable expecta-
tion from all sources of about 1000. 900
tons OF sugar for the United States
consumption during the last half Of
the present year. This is based upon
the maintenance of the present mea-
gre allied ration. An Improvement In
shipping conditions would of course
relieve this situation as quantities of
sugar are in unavailable markets. We
must. however. base the distribution of
sugar during the next six months. up
on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop will be
available.
This supply OF 100000 tons neces-
states a considerable reduction in our
consumption. To provide three pounds
OF sugar per person per month for
household use, to take care OF our
army and navy and TO provide for the
necessary preservation OF fruit, milk,
etc. will require about | 100000 tons
OF sugar for the six months.-Herbert
Hoover.

As the wind swerves from the west

the allies. is for meat
