DEAR FOLKS:

active, intelligent. happy and

why2 I'll tell you.
Up to three years ago, this
watchman looked upon himself
as a mere machine He felt that
he occupied a menial position
because be was treated as a
menial Nobody apparently
thought him worth while. Every
day was the same to him.
Nothing happened between sum
rise and sunset to relieve the
monotony of his life. He was
discouraged as most workers
are who do not get kind words
or attention.

and it was all brought abou,

to many of the workers. all of
whom respect him. He dresses in

with as much pride as the Com

on the bridge of his ship. This is
the sort of spirit that makes a
business prosper.
Another worker-this one a young

 During the week an invitation was received from the D.H.S. Club of the Island requesting the pres ence of the members of the Senior High School at a dance to be given Friday evening. Owing to the fact that the "social season" of the High School has been closed for the time being, Mrs. Cragg sent the regrets But she announced that if any individuals were able to see their way clear to attend they might go.

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al

Denial at Homo Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest whea
crop the only limitation upon Ameri
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped SO, 9S0,3o5
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat and
-four in terms Of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the eessa-
ton of hostilities we are able to re
turn to normal wheat diet Supplies
that have accumulated In Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto lnacces-
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 lis wheat enough avail

steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvesi
year with an unusually short crop
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
20,000,000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-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 a
little more than 100000 900 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 cabIed
that only II we sent an additional TO-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility Of assuring his
people that they would be fed
The response of the American peo-
pie was sc, 1000 bushels safely deliy-
cred overseas between January ] and
July l. Out of harvest which gave
az enly 20,O00, 600 bushels Surplus we
actually shipped 141 zoe, 600 bushels
Thus did Amsrica fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, lasi
years figures will be bettered.

Spain Is Buying Pianos.

The American government is buying
mules and blankets IN Spain and pay
Ing for them with pianos made in the
United States, according to George W.
Pound, manager of the National Pis 40
Manufacturers association, in calliAg
attention to one of the striking devel-
opments at the present time in this
country's export trade.
"As is the case with neutrals gen.
orally" Mr. Pound said "much Of
SPANS population has profited largely
by the war, and the demand for pianos
has persisted in spite of the fact that
the prices of all musical Instruments
in Spain have doubled and trebled
since the war began
Mr.. Pound said that the American
manufacturers were thereby offered an
unusual opportunity to help the gov
ernment pay the war bills as well as to
meet the foreign demand for our goods.
In this connection, Mr.. Pound said, pi-
ano manufacturers can only export
their pianos through government IL
cense.
