Pass Along Inspiring Words.

Miss Etta V. Leighton, civic secre-
tary of the National Security league,
has started '"Me and You" lip to lip.
American propaganda. In this the plan
Is that for every Hun lie uttered there
shall be spoken an American truth.
The truths are embodied In slogans
taken from President Wilson's
speeches. General Pershing's messages,
and from literature sent out by the
committee on public information, the
National Security league and other Or
ganizatlons.
Miss Leighton is also advising CLUB
women, teachers. and other groups TO
write the slogans on slips of paper and
to inclose them In all letters sent to
France and Italy, these slogans to be
written in the language of the country
for which they are intended, so that
they can be handed to soldiers ana CIV

kept PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World 10 Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest when;
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between. July
and October 10 we shipped 65,9sO,3O5
bushels If this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 23I5OO,O0O bushels of wheat and
flour In terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts la the United
states has been that with the cessa-
ton of hostilities. we are able to re-
turn 20 normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and -four NOV
Ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
ngured that we had a bare surplus of
100000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
1amine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
OF the year we had managed to ship
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 49,
100000 bushels before July 1 could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was S5,O00,OO0 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January / and
July l. Out of harvest which gave
us only 2O,OOO,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

First Patents for Steamboats,.

By number Of curious condolences
the United States government issued
Its first patents for steamboats, on Au
gust 20. 1871, to Nathan Read, John
Fitch, James Rumsey and John Stew
ems. Some time previous to the issu-
Ing of these patents Read invented
the necessary machinery to adapt
Watts steam engine to boat and land
carriages. In 17S9 he exhibited to a
committee of the American Academy
Of Arts and Sciences model of a
steamboat with paddle wheels, which
he designed to connect with high
pressure engine. Read also invented a
multitubular boiler and still another
form Of boiler on the same principle as
is used at the present day on our loco
motives. The fire passed through
small spiral tubes, and in this way
consuming the smoke and several 9TH
er forms with many apartments to
which the water was to be gradually
admitted as fast as 1t was evaporated.

Wooden shipbuIIdino In Australia.

The lack of shipbuilding and the
pressing need of providing cargo space
for the 100000 tons of wheat and the
large quantities of other products
awaiting shipment in Australia Is caus-
Ing revival Of wooden shipbuilding
which was comparatively important in
the days when wooden sailing ships
were the dominant type Of vessel. Con-
tracts have been let by the common
wealth government for the construc-
tion of 12 wooden vessels Of about
1000 tons each at Sydney and six of
