Both mother and babe are getting

he were thinking of flying, but his

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.

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

all the world; food conservation
America answered the challenge.
