BETHANY COLLEGE
HELPS SAVE FOOD

Regular courses in food conserva-
tion have been taught In nearly all the
free schools, normal schools and col
leges throughout the state Bethany
College has made a fine report Oh us
work along this line.
~ Last spring in the Home Economies
Department a regular course OF study
outlined by the Food Administrator
was offered as a part Of the regular
college work. All the girls In the
Household Economics Department
took this course. The Department OF
Agriculture OF this school also placed
special emphasis on the food PROB
lens that the Food Administrator
desired to work out, and raised on us
farm as far as possible war crops.
In speaking of the work of the Food
Administration, Mr.. Hoover, Dean OF
Agriculture at Bethany said, I'VE all
feel that the work of the Food Admin
istration throughout the country mas
been of very efficient, inspiring ana
patriotic character. Confronted WIN
one of the most difficult problems OF
the war, it has accomplished its work
without leaving a bad taste on the
public palate"

Governor Cornwell has pardoned
Harry Howard, having been convinced
that he was made victim of conspi'
racy through which he was charged
with murder and arson. On these
charges he was prevailed upon to plead
guilty and was sentenced to the Statd
Penitentiary for life in May, 1907
Governor Hatfield, in 1917, committed
the sentence to 20 years. A few weeks
ago Howard applied to the Governor
for permission to go to Chicago to see
relative whom he had been informed
was very i'll. The Governor directed
that he be permitted to 90, but that
he was to return on certain day, by
way of Charleston, and at 10 o'clock
on the day appointed come to see him.
Howard lived up to every condition OF
his leave of absence.

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

To the voluntary service and sacr1-
nce of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
niles and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rtfce 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-
You'd 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 II, $780,
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-
sible for them to maintain their de-
Tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy. Is a success ano that in time Of
need It 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 Of democracy
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
food problem on 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 anxiously 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 di.
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 trust
hat 1ot In,
racy has not been misplaced.

Remarkable lung operations have re-
Gently been performed by Col. Pierre
Duval of the French Reserve Medical
Corps, according to the January Popular
Mechanics Magazine. In describing
some of his work to American army med
ical officers at one OF the southern camps
a short time ago, he explained that he
enters the chest Cavity by making six
inch opening through the ribs. With the
aid OF forceps he then lifts the lung through
the aperture and lays it on the chest
wall. The bleeding blood vessels are
tied. the outer surface of the organ clean
ed and the tracts swabbed out with gauze
Torn pieces of the organ have been ex-
cised and the wound sutured. After this
the lung has been replaced in its normal
position and the aperture closed. Two
thirds OF the patients who have subjected
to operations OF this kind have fully
covered.

NO LIMIT ON SALE OF
CHRISTMAS CANDY

The sale Of Christmas candy Will not
be restricted by the Food Administra
ton. In fact the administration has
never fixed any limit on the amount
Of candy the dealers could sell, but
the dealers themselves In carrying
out the conservation plan Of the Food
Administration and by resolutions, foc
some months past, limited the sale
Of candy to one pound per person.
Since the sugar crop is coming In.
ard the sugar supply Is getting better.
there will be no request from the
Food Administration this year to the
dealers to limit the sale Of candy dur

THIRTY DAYS SUGAR LIMIT

While the Food Administration has
Withdrawn the plan Of issuing sugar
certificates to dealers, and leaving II
up to the dealers and individual con-
sumers Of sugar to limit their pur
chases of sugar to a supply for thirty
days, in no case will boarding be per-
mitted. Any dealer found by the In
spectors for the Administration with
more than thirty days sugar stock on
hand will run the risk Of losing his
privilege to handle sugar.

HURRICANE SERVICE EXTENDED

The Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
arranging to install at Fort Myers, on
the southwest coast OF Florida, about
$50 miles suoth OF Tampa, a special
meteorological station to aid In the
detection OF the tropical storms that
appear at intervals from June to Nov.
The new station ais expected to be In
operation about June /. The weather
Bureau already has operation in the
caribbean Sea region about Is stat
ions, most or them located on island
under the sovereignty OF foreign gov
ernments. These stations furnish
the hurricane service which gives
warning of dangerous wheather dis
turbances In the Caribbean Sea and
the Gulf Of Mexico. Through the OBJ
servations cabled or sent by wireless
to the Weather Bureau at Washing

are identified while in the germ stage

Dances have developed into the hurri-
canes that spell danger to shipping
and to life on shore. When a storm

sent throughout endangered regions
by every possible means, and rec
ords show that much life and prop
erty have been saved through the

RECORD NUMBER OF BREEDING

Even greater than the record nu-

the United States a year ago, the
number on April this year reach

s7e. 900. according to the Bureau OF
Crop Estimates. United States De-
partment OF Agriculture. While the
average gain for the whole country
over last year is only, 0.3 per cent,
there were gains greater than this
in most of the States and as high as
is ercent In California. Diminished
numbers in the great swine States of
Iowa, Missouria, Nebraska, Louisiana
and Oaklahoma are sufficient to
leave barley gain to the United
States as a whole.
Under the pressure of the necess-
tiles Of the war the breeding sows
on farms April /, 1918, had been
raised r95 per cent over 1917, a re

power of swine numbers in practical
farming operations; and that this
extraordinary increase in one year

age on areas they occupy is reduced
IS to 60 per cent. In a l2-acre field
OF barley examined in Colfax county,
~ NJ, last summer these rodents had
taken the crop completely from six
acres, representing damage of over
$50. These are ample reasons why.
when an appeal went out for maxi

stock to meet the conditions imposed
by the war, the New Mexico Coun-
ell of Defense appropriated $4,000
in CONJUNCTION with an equal amount
from the Federal war emergency
fund, to be used against prairie dogs,
why the extension forces of the Fed
eral department, together with the

of destroying prairie dogs and 1890
O7s acres OF dog infested land in the
