Drowned RYE "coFFEE."

The high price of coffee at the
present time has caused many people
in the United States, especially in
the rural districts, to adopt a substi-
tute that was popular during the
Civil war. It is that of using
Drowned rye for the beverage that
cheers but does not inebriate." The

UNCLAIMED MONEY IN BRITAIN

The parliament committee on
dormant bank balances after an ex-
haustive inquiry, has uncovered
500, 100000 lying unclaimed in
British banks, of which $12,0O0,000
belongs to untraceable persons and
therefore will be turned into the
government treasury to help pay the
nations debt. A far greater amount
was expected when the inquiry be-
gan. One remarkable fact is that
there is more unclaimed wealth in
Scottish banks than in those of Eng
land, which disproves the reputation
that the Scot has of looking after
the shillings.

SAVED HIS LIFE AND MONEY
Wisely In the Belief His Time
Had Not Come.

When an eighty-year-old mar
fights an armed highwayman be-
cause he was confident that he had
work still to do and that his time
to die had not come, there can be no
doubt that the man was right.
This is what Rev. John Stringer
did the other night. He pushed the
gun away from his. body and strug-
gled with the highwayman for its
possession till the man was fright
ened and escaped in an automobile.
Many younger man would have
said to himself that his hour had
come and would have submitted in
the vain hope that ne might post
pone it. Mr.. Stringer's faith saved
both his life and his money.
But what could the highwayman
have been thinking of in holding up
a minister? Preachers are not sup
posed to have any money. There
would be richer pickings in holding
up some wartime protiteers whose
guilty consciences would weaken
heir arms and destroy their cour- !
sge. We are not suggesting that the

ASKED TO ISSUE FARM LOANS

Judge III. r. Prewitt has wired TO
Congressman Fields, in Washington,
as follows:
"W. j. Fields, M. c., Washington,
D. C.-Hope you will do all you can
to secure passage of joint resolution
to authorize Secretary of Treasury
to issue farm loan bonds"
This action was taken as a result
of the delay in NEGOTIATING Federal
farm loans, which it is feared may
prove harmful to many farmers in
this section of Kentucky, whose APP
plications for loans have been held
up.
Private banking interests have at
tackled the validity of the Federal
Farm Loan Act, which litigation is
now before the United States Su-
preme Court. In recent decision
the Court did not pass upon the
validity of the act itself, and the
case has now been ordered "re-ar-
gued.' Meanwhile it is impossible,
with this cloud ON their validity, to
market farm loan bonds issued by
the Farm Loan Banks. To provide
relief in the emergency joint reso-
luton has been introduced in Con-
gress authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue $lOO,0OO,0OO in
farm loan bonds, as an aid to pro-
duction.

OUR GREAT PROBLEM

Every decrease in the price paid to
farmers for foodstuffs will merely
serve to hasten the day of a food
shortage so acute as to endanger the
safety of our government.
In lessened food supply may be
Matched the egg Of revolution
Every consumer who rejoices in re-
ports of decrease of prices paid the
farmers for grain, cotton, livestock
and dairy products will soon realize
that his JOY viii be turning to mourn
ing. Cheap milk or bread or meats
today will merely mean smaller
supply and famine prices later on.
The questions of the League of
Nations, of soldiers bounty, of Dem
ocratic or Republican supremacy are
mere soap bubbles blown by children,
as compared with the mighty food
supply question. Heavy pay to in
dustrial workers and short hours of
labor are like great magnets draw
ing men and women from the farms
to the cities, decreasing the number
of farm producers and increasing the
number Of food consumers.
Economic forces will eventually
push foodstuffs so high that the
pendulum must swing back and force
people from the cities to the farm to
avoid starvation, but ere the swing
turns that way food scarcity and
the misinformation about it may un-
less we are wise, wreck our govern
ment and our civilization.
This is the nations supreme prob
lem. To its solution the people must
address themselves with a full reali-
cation of it's Observation-Disclosures,
Record.
