BALANCE SHEET or
FOO0 OF THE WORLD
Wg America Must Save in
Order to Save Allies
From Want.

In support of its policy to keep
farmers of the United States fully in
formed of world food conditions and
probable needs for certain cOmmOdi-
ties, the U. S. Food Administration
has completed a summary of unusual
importance to producers.
The world balance sheet of food
products, shows a shortage of three
billion pounds of fats and three mil
lion tons of high protein feeds. Among
fats are included pork products, dairy
products and vegetable oils.
Commodities of which there are suf-
ficient supplies, if used with economy,
are wheat, rye, beans, peas, rice, and
feeds other than those high in pro-
tein Sufficient beef is in sight to
load all refrigerating ships capacity.
There is enough sugar for OUr nor
NAL consumption if other nations re-
tain their present short ratiOns If
they increase their rations, there will
be Il shortage. Coffee is the only
common food commodity of which
there is a world surplus. With the
possible exception of high protein
feeds, the United States has sufficient
| food and feed for its own people, but
to fulfill its pledge of 20,0000O0 tons
to Europe by July l, 1919, there must
! be continued conservation and avoid
ance of waste.
The world shortage of fats is eX-
planned by Mr.. Hoover as due pri-
mariy to the fact that Europe has
been steadily underfeeding its dairy
herd, has made steady inroads into
its herd of hogs during the war, and
to the facts that there has been n
great degeneration in the production
of vegetable oils in certain regions
owing to the inability to secure ship
ping"
According to Food Administration
calculations, even with all our sup
plies and best efforts, the world will
be far deficient in its normal amounts
Of fats for two or three years al
least The future of the American
producer who is equipped for genera
farming seems to lie in liberal crops
of meat products and homegrown
feeds with which to grow livestock
economically.

PACK A BASKET FOR EUROPE

You are planning it now, that first
dinner when your boy comes home.
There will be chicken, and hot biscuit
and chocolate cake. And that first
breakfast; how your eyes will watch
him as he devours buckwheat cakes
and sausage Not a word will be need
ed, for you have placed before him
the best you can cook, and you know
he will understand this common Ian
guage of all mothers.
This is the first instinct Of women
to minister to the needs of others.
Where is there Il woman in America

can Army as it advances to the

things that this good hOuSekeeper has
not seen for four long years. You
have no French nor she English. but
you two wOmCe would understand.

language of women the world over
the language of niniS.ratiOn.
But that dear son has not come
home He is perhaps with the Army
Of Occupation on the Rhine He and
other boys are distributing tons of
food in those little towns swept bare
by the retreating Germans. They,
too, need no interpreter for they are
speaking this universal language.
Wherever they 90, even across the
border, they find the Stars and Stripes
flying, for they carry their welcome
with them.
SO that bushel basket of yours is
going along 1t is not packed as YOU
would pack it, but food is being dis
trihuted, and your boy is doing the
best he can with what he has. and in
his boyiSh way he speaks your wO

Spending the Public Money.

81 do not know any element of economy that
can be discovered in a single department of
the government with 10,000-power magnify:ng
there as it is here"
1t is Senator Thomas of Colorado, addressing
his colleagues and rebuking them and the entire
democratic administration for the wanton ex-
travagance that prevails at Washington. He
is democrat, and can not therefore be accused
of partisan opposition to the president. The
senator says in another part of his speech:
From the cradle to the grave, from the
beginning OF the teething process until man
pays the debt of nature, we are now coming
to the government of the United States for
financial aid. Our initiative, our independ-
ence, our enterprise-those qualities which
made the Anglo-Saxon the ruler of the world,
and by which men of independence every
where in the past were able to get along
are either dormant or disappearing. If any
thing happens now let us run to the govern
ment. Only make the appropriation big
enough; let it cover enough territory, and
there is no question whatever about what
congress will do.
How long will the taxpayers endure it?
concede that they are more patient and long
suffering than | supposed possible. Suppose
they do not resist, how long will they be able
to endure it as matter of fact? In other
words, how long will the government remain
solvent? l do not know. Perhaps l ought
not to care; l have not very much more time
to spend upon this earth, and the problem is
one for others rather than myself
Before Senator Thomas had finished he was
reminded by Senator Smoot that the estimated
expenditures for 1920 will be $1O00O,00O,000,
not $5OOO000,0O0. Il though it expedient to
give the situation to the country in homeopathic
doses" said the Colorado statesman.
And the riot of extravaganza continues at
Washington.
