National Unity An Issue.
LONDON, June 20. (Via Ottawa )
The necessity for national unii, ea

phasized by Premier Lloyd George ii?
a letter to Mr. Greet, the coalition can
didate for the house of commons in ihe
Clapham division who is being opposed
for the seat.
"The only issue at the present time
is national unity" the premier's letter
reads. "In a resolve to subordinate
everything to winning the war the
Germans are bent on undermining the
morale of the allies by promoting dis
trust behind the lines. We have ?ot to
show that until the attempt of an un
scrupulous military oligarchy to iuv
pose its despotism on the world has
been definitely defeated, nothing can
turn us aside from our goal.
"Only through winning the war can
we realize the ideas of freedom for
which we entered the war."

There have been reports from var
ious sources recently of trouble in
Austria, notably in the capital, be
cause of the bread ration reduction
forced by the virtual exhaustion of the
Austrian grain BUDplies. The bread
allotment to each ' individual in the
city of Vienna is now less ihan 1-2
pound weekly, it was Stated in a dis
patch from Copenhagen on Tuesday
Protests against this rationinc have
been vehement from various quarters
The Vienna citv council on Tuesday
adopted a resolution of protest and the
Labor council in that city emphasizt d
its protest by ihe passage of a demand
renewing its desire for a separate
peace.
Strikes in Vienna and elsewhere is
ane of the outgrowths of the situation,
according to reports from .Switzerland
and fears have been expressed in Aus
trian quarters that what would virtual - ,
ly amount to a general strike was im
minent. In one recent labor demonstration in L
Vienna the police had to be called up
to disperse the rioters, it was said
Austria. It appears, is entering the
new harvest year without an reserve

Germany for such scanty supplies .is

CLEANING VERY DIRTY
HOUSE BROUGHT A
BOYHISTHRIFT
In the recent essay contest held in
the public schools on thrift stamps,
the third prize was awarded to Gor
don Agee. a pupil in the Fifth grade
at the Madison school. The first and
second places were taken by Tom Jen
kins and Melvin Rankin, respectively.
Their essays were published The es
says are particularly apropos at this
time as the big drive for $S48,000 as
the apportionment for this district is
now on and many Ogden youngsters
may get ideas from them for making
thrift stamp money Cordon Agee
wrote the following
"How I Earn Money to Buy Thrift
Stamps "
"In this time of war we should loan
a great deal of our money to the Unit
ed States government.
"One day my father asked me if I
wanted to earn some money for thrift
stamps. I asked him what I could do
He told me he would give me 50 cents
and my chum 50 cents, if we would
clean the inside of a house. He could
not rent it if it was not cleaned v
took our brooms and a bucket of water I
in which to dip our brooms. We each
had three rooms to clean. When I 1
saw that kitchen I changed my mind
about that room. It was so dirtv we
had to use a rake in it. There was a
foot of papers, dust and other debris.
Wo started about 12:30 and ended at
6 at night. When we cot through with
the house we cleaned the yard, which
was no less dirt than the house
When we had finished both house and 1
yard, we went home. My father gave
us our 50 cents and 1 bought thrift 1
stamps with that money
"On Saturday I gi t loads of djrt for 1
my mother's flower garden and she j
gives me 5 cents each load. This sum i
mer I am going to work on a farm dut I
ou Seventh street. Remember, you are 1
not giving your money to your govern-1
ment, but loaning it. Probably every
time you buy lour or five thrift
stamps you are giving a soldier some
comfort, such as a pair of socks or
bandages or something that might
save his lite.'

FARMERS DOING
PART JN CRISIS
Increasing American Food
Stocks an Additional Guar
anty of War Outcome.
HOUSTON OPTIMISTIC
Farmers Have Responded
Nobly to Call for Their
Best Efforts.
DUBUQUE, la.. .lunn 20. American
food stocks, increasing because of the
effort of Farmers, were classed as an
additional guaranty of tin- successful
outcome of the war by Secretary of
Agriculture Houston in an address to
day before the low a Bankers' associa
tion. Along with his presentation of
figures summarising agricultural ac-'
complishment, he called upon the res
idents of cities and towns to see that
bountiful harvests promised do not
waste because of labor shortage
Of the war itself he said:
"There is no way out of this grim
business, except through It.
"This war will not be ended bv a
miracle or b enchantment," he add
ed 'There can be no turning back,
no faltering, no hesitation. We are
determined to teach the lesson that
law must rule among nations as among
individuals and to establish guarantees
for future peace and the prevention
of a recurrence of such a calamity as
this."
American Farmers Respond
As to the agricultural effort during,
lrtin, Secretary Houston said the Am
erican farmers had responded heartily
to the call of the Allied populations
for food
"Farmers planted 23.000,000 acres
more in leading food crops in 1917
than in 1916." he said. "They greatly
increased the numbers of livestock in
spite of exportations They increased
the number of milch cows by .190,000,
of other cattle by nearly two million,
the number of shee"p for the rst time
in a generation and a half by 1,300.000
and ol swine by nearly four million.
In spite of exportations of hOTses and
mules, they increased the number by
454.000. The indications are that they
will do better even this year.
"We cannot fail to win the war be
cause of food shortage, and I need
not point out to bankers the large
bearing ot this enormous production
ion the toundations and machinery of
finance and credit
Difficulties of Harvesting
"These statements mean anoiher
thing. They mean difficulties of har
vesting It is a matter of patriotism
and business for you to omit no ef
fort to help in the matter of labor sup
ply. This duty Is of the most urgent
and impelling character in this crisis.
'i am convinced, ' he said, "that the
people of the nation are willing to pay
1 the necessary taxes."
Secretary Houston said that "taxa
tion especially on consumption, more
particularly on luxuries and also on
excessive profits, not onl tends to,
I check investment in non-essential di
rections but also to keep down the
general level of prices and to lessen
the financial obligations of the nation.
Sound Finance Necessary
"I am convinced," he said, "that th
people of the nation are willing to pay
the necessary taxes and that the fin
anciers of the nation recognize the
necessity of sound finance.
"We fight a nation that knows no i
law, except its own law of necessity,!
made in Prussia, exclusively interpret
ed by her and to be changed by her
at will," he said in summing up causes
of the world conflii 1
1 rom this source the orders came'
to us in February in 1917 What an
swer was there except one? Lie is
precious, but not at the sacrifice of
everything that makes it worth while.
National peace is desirable; but not
at the cost of everything that makes a
nation worth saving. We have discov-1
ered the truth in Jefferson's assertion
that the "Tree of liberty" is a tender!,
plant and that, as it grows from morel,
to more it has to he watered by the
blood of patriot- We shall not ail ,
We are aligned with the free forces of ,
the world, and have back of us the
conscience of civilization." ,

Both Houses Hear Review of
Necessary Changes in Con
duct of Home Affairs.
LONDON". Wednesday .lune 19
Chancellor P.onar Law, in the house 0
ommons, and Earl Curzon in the
house of lords, today gave explana
tions of a leport that another cabinet
for home affairs was to be created.
Mr Bonar Law said it was simply
intended to appoint a committee to
deal with definite sets of question:- .unl
the ultimate authority would be the
war cabinet.
Earl Curzon was more explicit. He!
said a committee on home affairs
would be appointed Ii would consist of !
members Connected with the principal '
home departments and would met 1
under the presidency of the home 1 1
retary at easl once a week.
All domestic questions requiring the
co-operation 01 more than one depart- ;
ment would be referred to the com - j
mil tee whic h would be empowered to
reach decisions on behalf of the cabi I
net. But the larger questions of pol
icy, he added, would be referred, at ,
the chairman's direction to the war
cabinet.
During the course of the debate m
the house of commons several mem-!
bers criticized the extravagance of the
;overument finance and the needless
multiplying of official bodies.
The chancellor, in reply, contended;
that in such n tremendous affaw as
ihe war some extravagance was in -
vitable but, he said, the government'
w as doing everything possible to check I
he expenditures and taking control of!
LOmmodities had saved the country I
many millions.
