NATURE REVOLTS AT MAR'S WORKS Paints Ugly Wounds in Somme Fields With White Brush ‘With the British Army in Frane¢e via London, Jan. 14.—This has been one of the strangest days in the strange world war. It has been a wonderfully white day a day of snow, while fog., white fields and strange white trees glistening in magical mantles of clear white frost. Even the brown, gripping, remorseless mud of the Somme, the mud that has been almost the master of the war for these past two months, has hid- den its treacherous depth, for the time at least, beneath the sofe fleecy flakes that came during the night to spread a Sabbath vestment of purity over the wretched, squalid and som- bre battlegrounds of northern France. In most of the front line trenches there was the mystic quiet that comes with snow. No Man's Land has been lifted fr the moment out of its ab- ject state of melancholic desolation and placed on a picturesquely white equality with the untrammeled lands that lie without the fighting zones. The torturous barriers of barbed wire in front of the enemy positions had been transferred to tangled and graceful strands of crystal ice and clinging snow. The war that stretches out over the years is a war that necessarily resolves itself into & routine of much the same thing over and over again. Today, however, in all its whiteness, it seemed just a wee bit different. SPEED UP FOOD PRODUCTION. War Economy Board in Each Prov- ince of Prussia. Amsterdam via London, Jam. 15.— The Berlin Vossiche Zeitung says that in order to safeguard the food supply the Prussian ministry has created a war economy board in each province.

The boards have no power, however, to requisition goods for dis- tribution or as aids to production. STOVALIL BECOMES MANAGER.

RECEIPTS SHOW $28,186.20 GAIN Uncle Sam’s Coffers Greatly En- riched During Year 1916 figures at the post office compiled by Assistant Postmaster Ed- ward J. Mungon for the show a gain of $28,186.25 lation the figures show a steady e month by month from the time Postmaster Delaney introduced The total receipts for the past year amounted to $181,652.31, in n with $153,466.06 in 1915.
