KILLS MORE
THAN THE WAR HAS

COLUMBIA, Mo, Dec. 27.-Deaths
by war have amounted to about five
million; deaths by famine in the same
period have amounted to more than
twenty million, reports to the Missouri
Division of the Food Administration
show. And this twenty million will
be swelled to many more millions IN
less food is sent into the countries that
are now under actual famine condi-
tons.
To prevent the starving of these ad-
ditional millions the Food Administra-
ton is asking that the people of this
country continue to save from their
plenty that they still limit their con-
sumption of food, despite the fact that
the war is over, in order to keep the
wolf away from the door of the world.
Some seven countries of Europe are
now suffering from actual famine.
In Armenia, the land has been given
over to massacre and plumber for al
most four years and there has been
neither sowing or resaping, except by
stealth, while war conditions prevent
ed any food being imported for the
relief of the starving population.
Food relief now is sheer rescue work
for the remnant of the population
which has not been massacred by the
Turks or has not died of starvation
and disease brought on by under
nourishment.

Naming of the public schools in the

"In the large cities, of course, 1t is
practical to erect buildings and arches

as we have such an undertaking prob

financial way.
"But by naming the school districts

will be preserved, but the honor will be

RECORD OF
CAPTAIN MCGREGOR
Husband of Miss Leila Reed of Near
Mexico Has Not Lost a Man
From Company
ALMOST MADE A MAJOR
Orders for His Appointment, Novem-
Der II, Cancelled by Signing of
Armistice.

Captain James McGregor, husband
of Miss Leila Reed of near Mexico
writes from Fance that his Division
the 36th, is one of those chosen TO stay
with the army of occupation, and that
he will not be home before August.
Captain McGregor has an unusual
record for his army service. He fought
in the Spanish-American war, was in
the National Guards at the time OF the
Mexican trouble and enlisted in the
Army again the day after the United
States declared war on Germany.
He was praised while in the States
for his excellent work with his mach
inc gun company. While stationed al
Fort Sill with his troops, he was Sc
successful in hiding his machine guns
that in one sham battle one OF the
guns was never discovered by the ne.
envy.
He has maintained this record, il
France. He has not lost a single CUR
to the enemy. Not a member of his
company has been killed and the only
wounds received by his men were Sc
slight that they were able to dress
them themselves with their First AID
packages.
Captain McGregor only missed the
commission of Major by one day.
Orders had come for the removal of
his Major to another sector, to take
place November IL, and for his ap-
pointment to that position. The sign
ing of the armistice, however, cancel
ed the order.
Captain McGregor is an Oklahoma
City man.

G. A. Roe has received the following
letter from his son, Lee, in France:
Dear ParentS:-
Still in France, Oct. %, 1918.-Re-
ceived three of your letters on the
21st and was sure glad to hear from
you. Also received one from Cora
and Dec.
| expect that you will think that l
have forgotten you all, but l haven't.
| have been up to the front again and
have returned safely and am sure
proud to say it. This is the first time
that | have had a chance to write for
some time. But don't you worry
about a little thing like that. l will
come out o. K. / have seen enough
to do me on this trip. We sure are
cleaning the Dutch, but they are 60
ing so fast that the Doughboys can't
keep in sight of them; but still they
won't give in. Souvenirs are plenti-
full. | don't bother with them any,
more, as l have gotten over that stuff.
If you were here where I am now and
could hear the big guns firing, you
would think they were going to Ber-
lin this morning. l don't think it will
be long until the Dutch will give up.
If the people back home were here
about ten minutes, they would say
peace. at any price" You people
back there don't realize what wal IS,
but wait until the boys get home and
then they will tell you all about it.
Well, Mother, tell all of my girl and
boy friends that I will drop them a few
lines later, as 1 haven't any paper
now. Can't get any. So will wait
until we get back to rest camp.
l have just gotten the paper from
home, dated August 8th. l am send
ing a slip of paper with this letter,
so that you a send me something
for Christmas. AS news is scarce,
will close for this time.
Your son,
LEE ROE.
P. Swell, Mother, I've lied. I
did have a slip, but I've lost it; so l
don't expect to get anything for
Christmas now. l should worry. I've
been unlucky all my life and will con-
tinue so. Luck to you all.

LAWS SHOULD REQUIRE
FARMERS TO MAINTAIN
FERTILITY OF THE SOIL

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 3O.-Al-
thought the right of private ownership
of land is unquestioned, the individual
owner should not be permitted to use
his soil in such a way as to intilct
permanent public loss for temporary
personal gain, it is declared by Her
man W. Danforth, president of the
Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, IN a
paper prepared by him and forwarded
for submission to the Southern Com-
mercial Congress in annual session
here, at the instance of the Program
Committee. "a man who is permitted
to occupy a farm and is protected by
established government in his exclT-
sive possession, nevertheless occupies
a position of public trust and should
be required by law to maintain the
fertility of his soil. Probably the most
colossal economic blunder in our
try's history has been the nations con-
tinued Indifference to the necessity o.
conservation of soil fertility. The
criminal abuse of our rich forest lands
and the wornout farms of the East,
are glaring illustrations of the result
of this policy of neglect" Danforth
says.
Government action in behalf of the
agricultural interests of the nation is
outlined in Mr.. Danforth's paper, and
the handicap suffered by the farmers
because of their individualistic policy
and failure to organize, as have almost
every other line of business e~ndeavor,
is set forth. He points out that the
organization of the Farm Loan Bank
System was the greatest step toward
placing the farmer in a position of in
dependence, enabling him to discharge
his full obligation to the country, to
obtain the greatest possible fruits
from the soil, and at the same time
maintain the fullest measure of its
conservation.
