In:the April 23 edition of the Lov- don$Pally Mail, which is before us, ‘mbaceie #iven to the food situ- ation’ » Britain than to any othe: . The Mail is one of the dely circulatec and most inf newspapers in England. Unless: this newspaper is deliberatery deceiving its readers for some reason that we’ cannot imagine, the scarcity of food in Gréat ‘Britain has reached int where,.it constitutes one of the gravest of,the many dangers that confront us and our allies in the war against Germany. The leading news article in the Mail Rthe headline: “Bread Econ- g.” This article states puch shorter than the of” and that “margerine ig now as scarce as wheaten flour and potatoes; butter, among other things, soon will be.” On May 1, says the Mail, the food controller was to take over all the flour mills in the nation, so as'to con- tro) the quality and quantity of flour manufactured and thus “protect the people against themselves.” The Mail quotes one of the food cop- trol officials for this startling state- ment: “We are conguming 60 per cent more wheat than the total in sight tin the next "HAWdbe!!! Held! ‘are thousands of thoughtless,4gnorapt and incredulous people who do not yealize that if the present over-con- sumption and waste continue we shall be at the end of our most essential food in less than three -months. Starvation, and not the Hun, is the foe that we have to fear.” The food controller, according te the Mail, may find it necessary te follow up control of the flour’ mills ‘by taking over the bakehouses, the dairies, the slaughterhouses and even the kitchens where food ir “adapted for sale.” The leading editorial in this issue of the Mail commends the government for taking the most drastic action te compel food economy and exhorts the People of Great Britain to “realize their danger.” ‘Let it be clearly understood,” say? this editorial, “that by no device of man, except a great reduction of con- sumption, can the scarcity of food- stuffs be overcome. It is not pecu- liar to this country, tnough here tt is aggravated and complicated by the very grave menace of the submarine war. It is general throughout the world and even in that land of plenty, the United States, the hour when fix- ed rations will be imposed fs in sight. It is as much the duty of the people at, home to save food ana to sacrifice all they can to do this as it is the duty of the man at the front to risk his life for his country. They have 0 long enjoyed an immense and ap- parently unlimited supply of cheap food that they find it difficult to be- lieve that it can be interfered with. “But it can be, and there will be a grim awakening if they do not real- ize the fact.” All of which is of the utmost 1m- portance to the people of the United States, upon whom devolves the vital task of supplying a large part of the’ food for their allies.

Western newspapers have deen poking a good deal of fun at the east on the score of the figures of volun- teering for the army and navy: In that matter, we easterners must hon- estly admit that the joke is on us. The west, in proportion to population, has furnished many more recruits than has this part of the country. But it is not only fun that the press of the middle west is poking at the east. William Allen White jests at us, but others put a note of indigna- tion into their comments, For exam- 5 bad an article, under the suggestive caption, “Headline Patriotism,” ask-, ing “what is the matter with the referred to the “lusty clamor for war” which the east ‘had set up for nearly three years; and then it pointed scornfully at the figures of the east ern recruiting offices. And it added: “The west made no effort to goad the government into war. Its temper was pacific even under enormous provocation. But now that the war is upon us, the west is giving its sons to their country’s cause, while the east is gnawing bloody bones at ban- quets, and in newspaper offices, and sending swarms of, lobbyists to Wash- fugton to protest against taxation.” * This may not be very pretty or brotherly, but it must be conceded that there is some force in it. The particularly crushing thing for the east is the revelation to it of its own blindness about the west. It had be- come customary hereabouts to speak of the western states as far behind us in vigilant and vivid patriotism. They were comparatively cold about dential election, they voted for Wil- son—proof enough of decayed fiber! It was a region of America over which- eastern patriots shook their heads sadly. We even had to send them missionaries to preach the doc- trines of the true army gospel. But it looks now as if the west would have to send missionaries east, as the converts there put to shame tie preachers here. ‘Anyhow, it is safe to say that we shall not hear so much in these parts about the sordid and besotted west.

OF GREATEST PRODUCTION OF COR Bonus System Results in 600 Pounds Daily Exess—Fibres Still Going Up With the bonus system in full op- eration, the North Dakota prison twine plant has just completed the most successful standard twine “campaign” in the history of the institution. For the last month the daily production has averaged 600 pounds over the 13,- 000 pound daily maximum, adding each day $4.50 to the collective pay~ check of the 75 men employed, or six cents for each individual. The men like the bonus system, and it is re- sulting in much greater production at only a slightly increased cost. The manufacture of standard sisal twine has been completed for the sea- son,, with a production of 2,200,000 pounds. The plant is now turning out Manila twine. Fibres are stjll going up. Manila has advanced three cents in the last two weeks, and now is selling at eighteen “to twenty-eight cents. ‘Sisal remains at seventeen cents, but the Mexican government, ef- fective May 15, established a new sys- tem of inspection and grading which probably will mean an advance in price for the better Classes of fibre. The prison prices for twine have been fixed for the year at 14 cents for standard and 16 cents for Manila. Needless to say, at these prices, the plant {s sold out. “There have been inquiries for three times as much twine as we could supply,” said War- den Talcott today. |AANDARL AND LITTLE BO TO WASHINGTON T0 PROTEST RATE BOOST Chajrman of Rail Board Says Pro- posed Increase Would Cost State $4,000,000 S.J.
