Just what Jack thinks he can do with a faim is a matter of pro found speculation, but the interesting part of the performance is what the farm is going to do to Jack. There are no hvo ways about ’t. it is some farm. If Jack makes as good a farm er as he does a farm chooser, he’ll be president of an agricultural col lege before he has to shake the mitt of old St. 1‘etfr. We congratulate him upon this great ucqu sition and in dulge in the pleasant h- pc that he may yet nut our teeth in on e of hi; corn, smack our ips c r some o the apples from his orchard ami juggl •, a drumst'ck that belonged to one of his yellow-legged Shanghais.

Are you going to save sugar or are you going to waste it? Are you going to use the smallest amount of sugar possible, or are you going to continue to use sugar as >ou did in the days before the war? Saving sugar here means sugar over there, and ships to carry it, from here to there. You probably have heard that there i is no shortage of sugar, ^tnd that the raw sugar output is as big, if not bigger than ever, and someone has told you that there is no need of sav ing sngar. This is the most insidious sort of German propaganda because it is partly true and partly false. The shortage in sugar in this coun try is not due to any shortage in sugar crop, but to a shortage of ships. Seventy-five per cent of the sugar used in this country has to be car ried here on ships. These same ships are needed to transport our troops, our munitions, and the food for the allies ard our soldiers and sailois to France. Part of these sugar carrying ships have been transferred to more important carrier sendee. This has resulted in a largely lessened import tonnage of sugar here. Our soldiers and sailors and the allies must be supplied with sugar. That supply must come out of our limited supply here. No law has been asked to compel the individual to apportion his supply of sugar in a sensible, logical and unselfish manner. The food administration merely asks you to save. What are you going to do about it? , South Side Notes i. Mr. P.. L. Woodward returned home Friday night from Excelsior Springs, Mo., where he spent a fortnight recu perating. Rev. J. H.
