SOME FARMER
Mr. L H. Broomfield, generally \
known as Jack, has accumulated him
self a farm of eighty acres near Fort
Calhoun. 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. If we can
wish him more luck than that, let’s
do it.

IN WHO’S CLP?
In whose cup?
Your’s or the so'dier’s?
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?
