SPIRIT REMAINS UNBROKEN Stupid Proclamations of German Com manders Cause Much Amusement Among Belgians—Says Stories of Atrocities Are All True. I New York.—Up to the entrance of the United States in the war against Germany, approximately 85.000 Bei- . giau civilians had been shot, taken , into Germany ns prisoners, or fined for « offending the German authorities in I Belgium in various ways, according to ! Hugh Gibson, former secretary of the j American legation at Brussels and at present chief of the division of foreign ! Intelligence of the state department, i "'f 1 " ce , ®, f f nï Vietails 1 the*sufferiugs of'the Belgians and the ! irrepressible anti buoyant spirit of the people, which, lie said, lias not been quenched by the Teuton invaders. The stupid proclamations of the Ger man commandants posted daily and oftencr on tlit* buildings and hoardings of the streets of Belgian cities caused tlie population considerable amuse ment at first, Mr. Gibson said, until It was announced from German head quarters that any one seen laughing arotlhd an official bulletin would be se verely punished. Thereafter persons i reading the bulletins would muffle themselves up in neckcloths that con cealed half their faces and laugh to themselves. All the Belgian newspapers were suppressed, and the population re ceived its news from publications is sued by tlie Germans, which told of their military victories, Mr. Gibson de clared. Papers Published Secretly. "In spite of this fact, tlie Belgians, under tlie very nose of the governor general, published clandestine newspa pers," lie continued. "The governor general would get his copy regularly. ; Sometimes he found it under his plate, 1 sometimes it came into his home with the vegetables, sometimes it was ; mailed to him In an official envelope of tlie German military headquarters Itself, but. in spite of the fact that he offered 100,000 marks for information leading to tlie arrest of those con corned in publishing the paper, it availed him nothing, and when 1 left FRENCH TAKE WHEAT Seven Ounces of Bread Daily Lim it Except to Hard Workers. Sacrifice Accepted by French People Uncomplainingly on Government's Explanation of Necessity. Washington.—Only tlip very poor, and men and women doing tie* hardest kind of manual labor, may have more than seven ounces of war bread a day in France from now on, the United States food administration lias been advised by tlie French government. The entire French wheat crop lias been requisitioned by tlie government. This sacrifice has been accepted by the French people uncomplainingly t>n tlie government's explanation that only by such restriction can American re em'orcements lie transported in ships that otherwise would carry grain for their bread, anrl that, in addition, this grain for French bread can come from America only by virtue of I bo actual caving of tins grain by reduod con w as that In every tin the Belgian se e'l Into a tan rep saw a ropy of one fret neu Spaliers i triiin.'' English ami Dutrh newspapers were smuggled into Belgium. Mr. Gibson continued, though a copy of a London paper sold as high as $30 at a time when tin' German authorities were titl ing their utmost to stop the smug gling. The papers smuggled in were i rented by the hour and tlie* owner would sit on a man's doorstep until i he had finished it. when lie would pa It on to receive another fee from the j next customer.

Agricultural Department Suggests Tu bers Be Given More Prominent Place in Luncheons. eating of more Washington.—The potatoes for supper, or for lunch if the family is accustomed to have nor at night, is a suggestion of the United States department of agricul ture, in order that the tremendous crop of tubors produced in the l nited States this year may tie utilized as fully as possible and spoilage avoided. Such increased use should, at tlie same time, bring about a saving of grain, since one common result of eating more potatoes is the eating of less wheat bread, which is a reasonable sumption of bread by people. "These extremely severe measures," said the French statement, "especially the seven ounces u day, have deeply impressed public opinion. Men who are very poor or who do hard manual labor get about 21 ounces of bread a day; women who are very poor or who are employed on hard work get about 17 ounces a day; every one else gets seven ounces, which is ♦ess than half of a pound loaf, or not more than four <«r five slices. This bread is made of flour compris ing all tin* elements of wheat except bran, with a heavy admixture of flour from other cereal grains, which is obligatory. The price of bread is fixed by vari ous government agencies all along the line between producer and consumer. Baking of pastry or biscuits from floU r that is fit for bread is prohibited. Confectioneries and other suc.i simps are dosed two days a week. Eating pastries in public is forbidden. Good advice is the kind you remem ber too late that you forgot to take. ! j ; j •h Will at t !

Utilization of Alfalfa or Clover Partly Solves Dairyman's Prob lem of Feed. 1 (By G E. WEAVER. University Farm, Allan.) One hundred and seventy-five pounds of good alfalfa or clover hay is worth as mm •Ii :»< liM) pounds of tin * or •dinarv grain f rods, .

This much hay will produce 200 pounds of milk and effect a saving in feed cost, of (50 cents, which is at the rate of 30 cents for each hundred pounds. The utilization of such hay partly ! solves tlie dairyman's problem in these days of high feed cost and milk in vestigations. tle the tors 82 HEIFERS OF GOOD BREEDING, ---— J No Stock More Profitable as They Con sume Less Compared With Growth They Make.
