CHANGE in WIND
CHECKS FIRE
Blaze Is Under Control Due to veer
in Breeze and BaekGring.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July q
With the exception of two districts
the forest fires which swept portions
of Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac
counties yesterday, menacing
number of small villages were report
ed under control tonight.
From Brimly and Race, fire war
dens report the flames are still be-
ing driven before lively breeze but,
by backfring last night when the
wind veered, they say the towns were
probably saved from destruction.
The greatest property loss in that
section was caused by the burning
of large number of lumber camps.
Railroads traversing the district
are holding trains in readiness at
nearly every town to remove resi-.
dents if the fires again assume threat
ening proportions.

BOY BLUE
By ELlzAsErH eRovEsrEIN.

When Jerry Stanton was very lit
tie fellow he had been called Little
Boy Blue" by his fond parents. Now
the tenn as applied to him had big
ger and broader meaning. for the only
son of the proud Mr.. Stanton was a
sailor boy in blue.
Indeed, Jerry was a lad to be proud
Of, one who would be able to do his
bit for Uncle Sam. But he had one
grievous fault which threatened to be
his DOWNFALL Jerry was conceited.
very, very conceited. Why, it did not
seem to surprise him in the least when
he learned that the sweetest little girl
In the whole wide world had fallen In
love with him. However, the entire
blame should not be placed on Jerry's
shoulders. He was doubtless the spoil
ed pet of an overIndulgent mother.
Now, to be sure, Louise Gray was
deeply In love with the handsome Stan
ton boy, but she knew he thought too
much Of himself. and 1t troubled her.
Time and again she would pucker up
hes pretty lips, frown and try to think
Of some plan to make her lover see
himself as others saw him.
One warm and lovely summer eve
ming the sailor had come bounding up
the steps of the Gray homestead. He
rang the bell, knocked at the door and
called "her" name. Useless No
sound reached his ear, and all was
darkness within. Slowly he retraced
his steps and began to walk around
the house. As he reached the side
porch he heard voices, and yes, he
recognized his sweetheart's ringing
laughter. With angry steps and beat
ing heart he drew nearer. His at
tempt to play eavesdropper was re-
warded when these words reached his
ears. TON, you're just a dear and l
love you" These few words, without
any doubt, gave Boy Blue the "blues."
Jerry gave one last hopeless glance
ut the porch above him and then made
his way toward the pond. He thought
hc would jump In, but plans for re-
venge caused him to turn around
sharply and start for home. Just then
his foot stumbled over something. |
Jerry fell to the ~ With bang
pitiful little "me~ was heard, and
somewhere out of lie darkness came
the cry, Tom, where are your"
Then the lovers came face to face |
and both seemed bewildered. Jerry |
rubbed his head and Louise picked up |
the abused cat. At last Jerry was
humbled He blurted out something
about being fool, and asked Louise
to please forgive him. By the mis-
chievous twinkle in her eyes and the
rOguish smile on her lips, she told him
all was well again.

All Sailors superstitlous

All sailors are superstitious, but
none is so completely under this In
fuence as the old deep-sea fisherman.
He puts the deepest faith in "signsn
and omens of all kinds. Nothing would
induce a skipper of the old school to
sail on a Friday. One intrepid unbe-
lever who dared to leave the docks at
GrimsbyS England, on a Good Friday
was hooted through the lcck gates by
the scandalized populace. In spite OF
thus challenging tho fates. however, he
returned safely with ship and crew.

His Preference.

Alvine had always longed for a dog.
One day the nurse announced that If
he would pray for 1t, God might send
him a brother or sister very soon.
That night the nurse overheard him
saying his prayers. He ended with:
''Dear God, I would like brother or a
sister, hut if it's just the same to you,
I'd lots rather have a dog"

TO Send BREAD
American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Sell
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 wheat
crop the only Limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July I
and October 10 W. shipped 65,0S0,3OJ
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 cessa-
ton of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to Il 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
IN a. Nv WHY wv hbl' W httD u
steady stream Of wheat and -four NOV.
ing across he sea. We found our
selves mt the beginning Of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured hat we had a bare surplus of
2c,00o.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 w had managed to ship a
little more than 5%0,000,000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatiess
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 75,-
100000 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peO-
pie was 8 100000 bushels safely dellv-
cred overseas between January ! and
July /. Out Of q harvest which gave
us only 20,00O,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped III 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread ratlons could be
maintained. and already the American
people are demonstrating that. with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

hogs and fat steers must later on be
marketed at the same time-tO the
disadvantage of all concerned.
But-why grow soft corn, when a
crop of hard corn costs less per
buShel?
Corn is planted when the soil Is still
cold, and just after the soil has been
ieached by the winters rains. Avail
able plant food in the soil is lacking.
The reserves in the seed are Don ex-
hausted, and then the plant "hangs
ire"-makes no growth, remains small,
! spindling, and sickly-until such time
as the weather warns up and soil
plant food begins to become available.
Available plant food, especially avail
able phosphoric acid and ammonia,
when applied in fertilizer have won
7erful effect in saving time-in getting
growth started early in the eason
Later on in the summer poorly fer
tilted corn once again "hangs fire."
1t waits, and waits. and Is eternally
slow in ripening its seed. Too often
such a crop is caught, still immature,
by the first killing frosts of the season.
A high available phOsphoric acid fer
tilizer applied at time of planting Is
a tremendous aid in. ripening UP the
corn quickly and surely.

LABOR SHORTAGE THREATENS
PRODUCTION
The Fertilizer Industry Hard Hit b.
the war.

The supply of fertilizer for 1919
spring sown crops is threatened by
shortage of labsr in the fertilizer fac
tories. This fact is of particularly Sc
rious import to The potato farmers of
The country, for the great potato Sec
lions are coming more and more to de-
pend on fertilizer for the economical
production of this crop. Thus it hap
pens that the very factor which pre-
vents factories running to full capac-
lty also has effect in preventing farm
ars from using their Own depleted farm
labor supply to best advantage. Labor
cannot be used to advantage on those
fields which can give but half a crop.
The fertilizer industry is normally
a seasonal industry. Abou' the first
Of February the factories are normally
In full blast, producing fertilizer for
use on spring crops. Then they Idle
down" again for a period of several
months in late spring and early sum-
mer. This requires a large floating
supply of labor, a supply which has
largely been eaten up by demands of
the shipyards and munition factories.
Transferring the industry from a
seasonal basis to a full II months op-
Grating basis will certainly be econom-
Ical of labor. The factories can then
FORK at somewhat diminished daily
capacity for more weeks in the year,
and in this way get out the necessary
tonnage. 1t can't be done at once,
however, because factories do not have
storage space enough to allow of this.
Goods must be shipped out almost as
fast as they are made-sO that the
greatest possible output by the re-
stricted supply of labor may be as
sured.
If fertilizer users the country over
will order early, through accustomed
channels, and agree to take the goods
from the car on arrival, much may be
done to help insure Il sufficient supply
for next springs business. Early or.
dering, however, means NOW.
