With the guns In Europe silenced,
we have now to consider a new world
food situation. But there enn be no
hope that the volume of our exports
can be lightened to the slightest de
gree with the cessation of hostilities.
Millions of people liberated from the
Prussian yoke are now depending
upon us for the food which will keep
them from starvation.

It possible for the forces of democ
racy to hold out to victory. To Insure
democracy In the world, we must con
tinue to live simply In order that we
may supply these liberated nations of
Kurope with food. Hunger among a
people Inevitably breeds anarchy.
American food must complete the work
of making the world safe for democ-
cy.
Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons of
food to Europe. For the present year,
with only the European Allies to feed,
w bad originally pledged ourselves to
a program that would have Increased
oar exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now,
to feed the liberated nations, we will
have to export a total of not less than
20,000,000 toas practically the limit
of loading capacity at our ports. Re
viewing the world food situation, we
Hud that some foods will be obtainable
la quantities sufficient to meet all
world needs under a regime of eco

Return to Normal Bread Loaf.
With trtV enlarged wheat crops
which American farmers have grown,
and the supplies of Australia, the Ar
gentina and other markets now acces
sible to shipping, there are bread
grains enough to enable the nations to
return to their normal wheat loaf,
provided we continue to mill flour at
h percentage of extraction and i
maintain economy In eating and the
avoidance of waste.
In fats there will be a heavy short
ageabout 8,000,000,000 pounds In
pork products, dairy products and
vegetable oils. While there will be a
shortage of about three million tons
In rich protein feeds for dairy ani
mals, there will be sufficient supplies
other feedstuff's to allow economical
nsumptlon.
In the matter of beef, the world's
supplies are limited to the capacity of
the available refrigerating ships. The
supplies of beef in Australia, the Ar
gentine and the United States are suf
ficient to load these shlpa There vfl

sugar to allow normal consumption In

While we will be able to change oar
program In many respects, even a
casual survey of the world supplies
In comparison to world demands shows
conclusively that Europe will know
famine unless the American people
bring their home consumption down
to the barest minimum that will main

There are conditions of famine In
Europe that wllj be beyond our power
to remedy. There are 40,000,000 peo
ple In North Ilussla whom there Is
small chance of reaching with food
this winter. Their transportation Is
demoralized In complete anarchy, and
shortly many of their ports will be
frozen, even If Internal transpc l

To Preserve Civilization.
At this moment Germany has not
alone sucked the food and animals
from all those masses of people she
has domlnuted and left starving, but
she has left behind her a totul wreck
age of social Institutions, and this
mass of people Is now confronted with
absolute unarchy.
If we value our own safety and the
'Hut organization of the world, If we
value the preservation of civilization
Itself, we cannot permit growth of this
cancer In the world's vitals.
Famine is the mother of anarchy.
From the Inability of governments to
secure food for their people grows
revolution and chaos. From an ability
to supply their people grows stability
of government and the defeat of an
archy. Did we put it on no higher
plane than our Interests In the pro
tection of our institutions, we must
bestir ourselves in solution of this
problem.

ARO OF THANKS
To the friends who came to us in
our hour of trouble, and contributed
all that human kindness could sug
gest, to help and comfort, we return
most heartfelt thankB, and although
such devoted friendship cannot re
move the sad memories that linger
around our. vacant chair, It brings
into view the brightest side of human
i-ty, and throws the pure light of an
unselfish friendship into darkened
homes. May the day be for distant
when those friends who ftathersd
around us wyi need similar attention
but when the time comes may they
receive the same full measure of en
erous aid and tender sympathy they
brought to our home when death was
an inmate there.

NO ONE SUFFERED HERB.
The marvel of our voluntary food
saving, now that we are 'Vetting rn

suffered any hardship from It; that
wa all are better In healtn and spirit
and better satisfied with ourselves he

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
ods and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly wast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
16,000,000 bushels of 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 bj
reports from 33 grain states to the D.
8. Food Administration. Other states,
although not prepared to furnish defi
nite figures of conservation In the
grain fluids, 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 threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
84 per cent the estimated average
In normal times to the lowest possi
ble" minimum. Country grain thresh
ing committees carried Into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous Instances drivers of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equlp
inaiK and frequently bad order thresh
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of wasta was removed. But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged In gathering the natlon'a grain
crop, cases of compulsion were com
paratively rare. The Food Adminis
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher
man and their crawa Incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "la pocket"
as a result of the grain saved.

We wish you a Merry, Merry
Christmas
These are great days all the world is glad. The
greatest of wars is over. America may now turn
to the greatest gift-giving Christmas in all her
history and to the enjoyment of her prosp
erity, which has come greater than the most
optomistic ever dreamed. For 1919 the American people have guaranteed to ship to curo
pe twenty million tons of food-rin 1920 there will be still an enormous demand, so why
shouldn't we be prosperous and glad?
During 1918 the Forest Lumber Company has enjoyed a splendid patronage a pat
ronage built by a policy of giving a full one hundred cents' value for every dollar and
dealing on the square. The year to come will see no change in this policy. We will strive
ever to serve you better and better. We wish at this time to express our appreciation of
your past patronage and to solicit a continuance of the pleasant relations.
Again we extend to you our wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Prosper
ous New Year.
