Hoover Says America Must Pro- . vide Suppliés. ~ NOW AT THE WORST PHASE Shipping Conditions Are Not Satisfac- tory on Account of Strikes in Many' Countries, and, as Result, There Is No'Question That the Entire Ameri- emy Countries. and Neutrals Must '8 Pay Cash. Jn the harvest year from August, 1918, to August, 1919, Europe must im- port 29,000,000 tons of foodstuffs from overseas,' and to meet this there is avallable a total of about 35,000,000 tons, Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the food section of the supreme eco- nomie council said in Paris. Shipping conditlons are not satisfac- on account of strikes in many countries and, as a result, there is no question that the entire American sur- plus will be absorbed, “We are at the worst phase of the Ewropean famine that was inevitable after this world war,” Mr. Hoover said. The economic food council is on top fn the fight against famine.and food distribution is organized to supply the affected arcas in Europe ‘outside of Russin, Mr. Hoover said., The Ameri- can relief administration has organ- ized the systematic feeding of the un- dernpurished, children, numbering be- tween 500,000 and 1,000,000. Y & The United gmtr\s will supply:-to Bu- rope foodstuffs valued roughly at $2,500,000,000. Eflem_v countries and peutrals will pay cash for what they receive. 2 Will Not Raise Wheat Price. The relief authorities are doing thelr best to control the effect of the large demands on the American market. Mr. | Hoover said that a statement by him i the possible price of wheat had 3 been misinterpreted. He had sald that | in view of the demands of the ! world for food, the removal of price | control with regard to wheat, sugar, pork products and cotton seed prod- 1 £ ucts would be dangerous to the Amer:- can consumer. The control of the pork was removed, and, Mr. Hoover said, had proved to be a disadvantage. to the consumer. Mr. Hoover sald he wished to empha- #ize that the control of the price of wheat would be maintained to-the full extent of existing authority and tpat g the Americap. consumer need not be alarmed that there will be a material rise in the price of that food essential. ‘America will sell more wheat than she has, but the exports are being reg- ulated to reserve a sufficiency for do- mestic needs. Purchases Army Supplies. The Amerifcan army stocks of pork j5u produets in France, more than 60,000, 000 pounds, had been purchased by .the rellef councll and should furnish a suf- figient supply of fats until harvest for berated countries. Germany is being supplied with fats without competing in the American market for pork, and the European draft on the American pork is limited to the neutral and allied countries. The administration is purchasing in the United States only wheat, rye, flour, beans, some rice, and vegetable ofl products, and in addition, condensed milk and some other speclal foods for crildren.

Of course she would have to see him and he would find out her deception. What would he think of her? How could e bear that he should look at her? It had all begun at the girls' Red Cross meeting. “Iet’s pin our names gnd addresses on the inside of these socks we are knitting,” suggested May Bond. “Perhaps the soldiers who get them will write to us.” “Good!” .cried - the other girls. “Wouldn't it be fun to get a letter from a soldier?” Each girl as she finished a pair of socks pinned her name on the inside and they were sent out. After a time letters began to arrive from the boys at the front, telling of war experi- ences and of army life. The girls read them aloud with many comments n‘d much interest. - A Nita, in a spirit of fun, had pretend- ed in her letter that she was some- body’s maiden aunt, and wrote in a motherly strain. She had bardly ex- pected her soldier to write more than omce, but he did. Her letters were filled with good advice and suggestions for his health and comfort, and he seemed to like them. “There won’t be any romance for me out of these letters”” Nita laughed. “He thinks I'm an old maid. I don't ) ~Belleve he'll want to see me when he comes home, apd I'm sure I wonldn't want him to. I wonder if he wishes I were a girl,” she added to herself. “I'm glad he doesn’t know.” Now the war was over and the boys were coming home.

The soy bean can be utilized to ad- re as pasture for all kinds of stock, the most profitable method, per- haps, being to pasture with hogs, sup- plementing the corn ration. This is 1y desirable when the harvest- i lack of labor, or other. causes, and when the crop is grown, for soil i provement, In this way the crop is profitable not only from the stand- point of feediug:value, but also in the ) increase of soil fertility due o the, manure aud refuse vines.

He knew she had a kind, motherly heart and SYIpa- | thetic eyes—were they blue?—a dear | mouth that smiled and helpful hands, He had s0 much enjoyed the socks and swenters she had sent. They were just what his mother would have sent him had she been living. He was really longing to see her. Was her hair done in white puffs over her forehead? He loved to think of it so. He lived in Norton, not very many miles from her own honfe, and he should come to see her often. He hoped she would still be glad to “mother him” and to admonish him if he needed it. | Nita was frightened when she read that letter. She could not escape meeting him, for he had her address. What would he think of her? If she could only run away and hide! And yet she did want to see hiin., She had Bright and assuming. Do you thiuk any malden sunt could write such let- ters s you have been writing to me? I've had your image hefore me all the tinie, and T've learned to worship it. | I knew your eyes were full of laugh- | ter, that your halr was soft und flufty, that your lps siniled with the tiniest dimples. T could just see the mlschief lurking in the corner of your eye us you wrote those letters. ©h, how you've helped to cheer those loug, toilsome months. How the thought of you has given me help and courage. for I knew you were a brave girl, doing your part at home.” They were sitting very close to- gether in the cozy sitting room. Nita's heart throbbed. and yet she tried to draw her hand away from hiwm. “Oh.” she faltered, “what must you think of me?” “l think you are the dearest girl in learned to like her soldier boy. She had pictured him in her mind, and she wanted-—oh, how much she wanted to see him—if only she could herself be invisible. She almost wished now that she had not played her foolish joke. He would despise her for her deceit and think her very silly. With a beating heart Nita watched the returning regiment march_through the streets.. Which one was' her sol- dier boy? He was with them, she knew. They were o straight, ‘with strong, brave faces, and the hsppy light of victory in their eyes. She was provd of them all and cheered with the rest. When the doorbell rang Nita stepped lightly to answer it, quite unsuspect- Ing. She had not thought that he would come to see her so soon. There were others to greet him—yet there he stood. She knew him at the first glance and wanted to hide. What could she say? How explain? She stared snd said nothing. He put out his hand with & boyish smile and 8 twinkle in his eye.. “Is this Miss Spence?" he asked, “I'm——I'm—Nita Spence—" came the fimid answer.. Perhaps he would think the one who wrote the letters was her aunt. If he wounld only go away. “My malden auni, my mentor,” he langhed merrily. “You iook just as 1 Hnagined you would.” She gasped. “But-—why—how could you—" “Dou’t you suppoxe 1 saw through raur little gam His smile wsas S —— all the world.” he told her, drawing her hands from her burning face. *I need mothering and advice and all that sort of thing now more than ever be- fore. 1've come to ask you to take the job for life-—will you do it?” He was gazing at her with earnest eyes, full of love. £ ' She looked up at him, trewbling, vet with mischief in her eyex as she an- swered, “Yes, if you think you can nd a malden aunt’'s scolding.” And he was quite satisfied.
