ENGLISH HELD MANY FEASTs
Oyster Festival, White Bait Dinner
Flsh Pie and sausage Repasts,
Among Former Celebrations.

There Is scarcely an old city or vil
lage In England that formerly did no:
have an annual banquet of some sort
designed to advertise the particuhr
products for which the place Is fun
GUS. observes a correspondent. Col
chester had its annual oyster feast
which was given every October, usu
ally at the beginning of the month
But that was a comparatively moderI,
festival. Much more ancient was tn
yearly white bait dinner at Greenwich
which at one time was almost as great
a social event as the dinner given by
the lord mayor Of London.
The fish pie dinner ut Gorlestop
near Yarmouth, had as Its guests eacl
year 85 fishermen, with the vicar o
the head Of the table. The number a
the table was strictly limited to B5
except the vicar, and was never NOR,
or less. At Yarmouth, the home o.
the fnr-famed Yarmouth bloater. thu
annual herring dinner was quite a.
event. The menu consisted entirely Q.
herring of oil ages from infant sprate
to grandfather herring, prepared IN
many differen. ways. Peterborough.
sausage dinner was given every yen
by the mayor and corporation Of tht
town, and every variety Of sausage
known was served to the guests. An
other famous "fced" was the venisol
dinner given at Farnham by the bishoi
of Winchester.

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHiNG
Farmers, Urged by Food Adminlstra-
tion, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

BY adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
cd, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels Lf wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person In
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats, rye and other grains, Is shown by
reports from 33 grain states to the u.
s. Food Administration. Other states.
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures Of conservation In the
grain fields, report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermcn
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent.-the estimated average
in normal times-to the lowest pOssl-
bic minimum. Country grain thresh-
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
TIE results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh-
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop. cases of compulslon were com
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tratiou freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
trlotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. Incidentally
grain growers Of the United States art
many millions Of dollars "in pocket"
as q result of the grain saved.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart. Of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit Of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate In the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude Of which Is almost be-
yOnd comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation Of nations freed from
German oppression. our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead Of IL 1,S2O,-
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons Of food to Europe In the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, It would have been impos-
sibie for them to maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy Is q success ano that in time Of
need 1t will rise to Its own defense.
II there were no other accomplish
ment to Its credit the very fact that 1t
has shown the strength ofdemocracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas 9
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
.Many thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover. "and the whole world
have been watching an1iously the last
four months In the fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that It could not be
done. Contrary proof Is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many dl.
rections and upon the mere word OF
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances. '
The history Of the Food Administra.
ton has clearly shown that the trus,
Of those who put their faith In democ.
racy has not been misplaced.

GOOD MANNERS

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be SO is the question. Many
a good girl and boy feel as though
they do not behave to suit themselves
in company. They feel timid, bash
full, and f-distrustful, the moment
they are addressed by stranger or
appear in company. There is but
one way to get over this feeling,
and acquire easy and graceful man
nehs; that is, to do the best they
can at home, as well as abroad.
Good manners are not learned by
teaching so much as an acquired hab-
it. They grow upon US by use. We
must be courteous, kind, civil, gen.
tlemanly and womanly at home, and
then it will become a kind of sec
ond nature to be SO elsewhere. A
course, rough manner at home sug-
course rough manner at home begets
a bit of roughness which we cannot
lay off when we go among strangers.
The most agreeable people we have
ever kown in company are those who
are perfectly agreeable at home.
Home is the school for all good
things, especially for good maners.

County Uses Electric Corn Testers.
Farmers of Grant County, S. D.,
had enough good seed corn last
spring largely because they brought
in $50 bushels from outside the coun-
ty and also because the county a.
gent established electric testers with
a total capacity of 1900 samples.
The agent installed in the farm bu-
reau office an electric tester with
capacity of 5000 ears, and % small
testers holding 100 ears each. Two
testing substantations were estab-
'lished. A summary of the work
shows that $1,000 ears were tested,
composite tests were made of 1000
bushels, and 3o8 farmers became
sufficiently interested to test their
own seed.

Show How to Gull Poultry.

Vermont county agents conducted
131 poultry culling demonstrations
with q total attendance of 2,655
people during the fall of 1918. The
'hocks culled numbered 62,62o birds
being handled by the demonstration
and people in attendance. Of this
number 1881 birds, or II yer cent.
were discarded as "boarders." AS
result of the campaign work Sc
farmers went through their focks,
aggregating 7,454 birds, and culled
1885, or 39.1 per cent. This result
indicates the influence and immediate
and definite Benefits Of such demon
