Brown on Tuesday evening Nov. 26th, 1918. Both mother and babe are getting along nicely and Daddy Bill walks as on nettles1 as lightly as though he were thinking of flying, but his smile shows he is as happy as the happiest. The parents have con gratulations of" their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Steele received a sad message from the Adjunt General stating that their son who is with the forces in France has not been heard of since Oct. 5. This is something over six weeks. Of course it is hard to tell where he is or what has happenod. We can only conjecture. This is hard for the parents and necessarily they feel great apprehension, but all that can be done is to hope for the best and that he may turn up safe at last.

The marvel of our voluntary food saving, now that we are "getting re sults," la that no one ever actually suffered any hardship from It; that we all are better In healtn and spirit and better satisfied with ourselves ba cause of our friendly sclf-dcniaL Food control In America held the price of breadstuffs steady, prevented' vicious speculation and extortion uiid preserved tranquillity at houae. In no other nation Is there so wllllrg a sense of voluntary self-sacrifice cs In America that was shown in the abstinence from wbeat. Find more wheat. It came; more pork, it came; save sugar, it was done. So Americans answered the challenge of German starvation. Good will rules the new world as fear governed the old world. Through sharing food America helps make the whole world kta. Food control made sufficiency from shortage, kept the rein on food prices, gave the nation's full stiength exer cise. Starvation by Germany challenged all the world; food conservation America answered the challenge.
