FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
sort OF War by Conserving for
the Benefit of the
Allies.

When figures began TO show def
lately that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
lac UnlIed States Food Admins
tration was told that il was COM
paratively easy To bring about conser-
vation of staple necess. Ties. but that it
woaiG be far more difficult TO accom-
Dish an actual decrease in the use of
Injuries. The doubgers took sugar as
ar example, and declared that it would

entirely dependent for sugar upon
N7rJh American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sGsar to place this country

present short rations in Europe are
got materially Increased. If the Eu-
creased over the present low amount

peoples making it possible by con-
tiuued restriction TO greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
y3fiou allowed the Food Administra-
tion TO build up q reserve, and TO tide
over the period of scarcity. until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
trBtiCn show that in July. August, Sep
tember and October $4,000 tons were
distributed Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows Il definite, concrete saving of
over 100000 tons. These figures APP
ply To sugar consumed on the table. in
tie kitchen and in the various indus
tries. and show concluSively that in
the homes and public eating places of
America, where 20 per cent of all our
sugar IS consumed, the sugar consump-
zion has been reduced by more than
Oue-third.
In the four month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons Of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution In August only 2250o0
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed 279,O0o tons, and
then fell to 23O,O 900 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have

800 WOMEN NEEDED

Commander EvangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeiine Booth, lead
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon TO furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
Is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
Of the SalvatiOnist forces, whom she
sent TO France over q year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops
I'VE will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
Discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and charging
the war relief work OF the seven or
gsnizations, besides the noble Red
funds. Each is n vital cog in vast

Indispensable, serving It's particular
elements in its own way.
THE Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared In privation and
trained TO every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it, Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.

Overshadowing all other accomplish

We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
20,000.000 bushels available fer ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent 14100O,0o0 bushels of wheat
TO Europe The American people had
saved ont OF the.r normal consumption

our armies and the allies 100000
barrels of white fiour-wheat figured

visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the 1st of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 10000 900 bushels had been TAX
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added TO the surplus
already shipped TO the allies. II seem
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 100O00,000
bushels by July l. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda fheu British Food
Controller, cabled that unless we
could send an additional 100000
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending 100000 bush
els of wheat, saved from their home
consumption, between the first OF the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
BY October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,960,305 bushels since July
1. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity Of ocean
tonnage. If exports continue at the
present rate, by Julp l of next year
we will have sent more than 237 500
600 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas

Our Policy Reaffirmed.

The Aberdeen Weekly starts
the new year under suspicious
circumstances. 1t began its ca
reer under the present editorial
management eighteen years ago
and has encountered many viciS-
STUDIES that vex and perplex
country newspapers. 1t has had It's
friends and opposers and has sur
vived every opposition which
has arisen from its moral, politl-
cal or civic support of measures
or policies il conscientiously be-
loved TO have been TO the best
interests of society and govern
ment 1t has supported its views
in the open and will continue
that policy throughout the time
il remains under the present edi
torial management.
To its friends who have stood
by it financially and morally in
its efforts to build a better town,
a better county and better econ
omic conditions, il expresses its
sincere appreciation.
Towards those who have dis
agreed with il in politics. meas
ureS, morals and men, we feel no
resentment. but wish them a
happy and prosperous New Year
along with its friends.
.Fhe paper in the future, as in
the past, will continue its course
m lire support of things that con-
xict it as right and will prudently
condemn things that appear to
it as pernicious TO society and
government.
Ii outlined the above policy
eighteen years ago. and its files
bear evidence that the paper has
lived up TO its pledge. 1t reiter-
ates that policy on the beginning
of this year when all the world
has greater cause to give thanks
than since the birth of Christ.
1t will strive harder 10 please
its readers, support its town,
county, State and government in
all things that are right than ever
before.
1t will advocate the right in all
things as il sees them, and will
not deviate from that course
1t will let its readers know
where il stands on every ques
ton, and while il may err in |
some of its positions, ii will not
be afraid TO let the world know |
what ii advocates and whal il
condemns. The present year |
promises TO be an eventful one
10 the world. the United States
and Mississippi in particular. The |
terms that are expected to bind |
the world in bonds of peace are |
10 be promulgated and accepted |
thi. year. Mississippi is to choose
the men who are TO administer |
the State government.
Every citizen needs a good
local newspaper that will supply |
him with the news and not be |
afraid TO publish the truth.
Such newspaper the Aber-
deem Weekly is and will continue
TO be. If you are not a subscriber
send In your name today. There
will be something doing this year,
1919. You will want to know
about ii. Take the Weekly and
