Three Ways of Increas ing Food Resources Industry' overshadows agricul ture in Allegheny County, Pa., 'where large quantities of ammuni tion and shipbuilding materials are manufactured, but the Allegh eny County farm bureau has found at least three ways of increasing j the county food resources and thus I ! dimhiish'in'g the demand on the reserves of other communities. One result is that members of the Bittsfburgh Field Club now sit on the front veranda of their club house and see 150 sheep grazing on their golf links. Another result is that Pittsburgh garbage is be convertod every day into pork by 400 hogs. The garbage is heat ed in tanks under pressure for 8 or 10 «hours, freeing it from poi and foreign material. mg sonous About 150 bushels of garbage are fed daily, producing perk at an es timated cost of 10 cents a pound live weight. The hogs will be fin ished with corn. A way also has been found of saving farm pro duce which might go to waste. A truck equipped with a complete canning outfit and accompanied by j over a dozen experienced women is sent into the country districts to, can surplus fruits and vegetable». | This work is being done by the Women's Committee of the Coun cil of Nationall Defense, with the aid of the farm bureau.

This proved to be what we row know as the famous Cornwall tin mines, of j Wales, Since then, this cliff has peared, and the miners are today thousands rf feet below the surface and males out under the er. an fer ing bed of the ocean, still mining tin. It is known that tin was used'Wealth, before the Stone Age and in all prehistoric countries implements, and weapons have been i found that contain some fin. cl' utensils a to 14 Until modern times the use of t ; n commercially was very limited, but in the last twenty years its production and use have both in creased tremendously. Tin is found in every quarter of the globe. There are numerous so called tin mines located in our own country, but none of them so far has proved to be of any commerc ial value. The greatest source of supply is in the Straits Settlements. The next most important source of sup ply is Bolivia, then come the Dutch possessions ,in Java. There is also considerable tin mined in Siam and China, Billiton, Nigeria, Aus tralia, Cornwall, British-protected Malay States and the Union of South Africa. All tin that i,s used in this coun try comes from over seas. Former ly all the tin which came to this country from the British posses sions in the Far East, came via London. Since during the war it has been subjected to the sub marine peril, all tin intended for America, coming from the Far East, comes now via the Pacific and overland from the Pacific Coast, thus obviating the subma rine menace. Tin is a mineral that is used in almost every branch of industry conceivable. It has been stated with proof that we could not oper ate a steamer on the ocean, we cculd not build a railroad car, we could not do anything to carry on this war, if we did not have tin. It might be said that the entire in dustry of the United States is de pendent on tin in some form or other. Tin is one of the most essential metals in the whole war program and it will be Impossible to sustain our demands or properly aid the industries of our allies unless an adequate supply be furnished. The actual consumption of x\ r -, g[n tl " 'Zi h * Unite<1 States in 1917 I was 71,25? long tons, or approxt mately 58 per cent, of the world's production. The War Industries Board's es is his timate of supplies of virgin tin for j 1918 from present sources is ap I proximately 75,000 tons, leaving a ! deficit of some 5,000 tons, which must be made good either by de veloping new sources of supply, as for instance in Bolivia, or by ef- j fee tin g further economies in the) use of the metal. Such further, iit will be extremely ( 8 economies difficult to make, as probably 75 j per cent, of the tin used at present! its directly or indirectly for mili- ( tary purposes and the remaining 25 per cent, for the most essential civilian uses. It is highly desir able, therefore, to develop new sources of supply. A [rope: An Afro-American Victory Representative Bland, of Indi ana, brings this back from Eli An American lying wounded in j a wheat field was somewhat taken aback by the spectacle, in slow and to, stately approach, of a German cf | fleer. He was magnificent with medals and he wore a monocle. Every once in a while his impres siveness was spoiled by a nervous turn of the head and the suspicion of a squirm-—just as if some one were tickling him in the rear with a bayonet. Some one was, for loak beyond, the wounded Ameri can saw a p r . e - a t b:g huskv Ameri c;m mgrQ prancir;g along<> , show _ " ing every tooth in his head.

This one always saves from her very small ration of sugar a lump for her horse, and when the air raids begin, she goes to hi® «stall 'and keeps up his courage. She has to leave on her route at 6.30 each day, often in fog, cold or rain, and her day is 14 hours long. The men, scolding and laughing together, say that they can do nothing with the horses since the girls came on the force; they come right into the offices in search of their feminine, drivers. The Home Front The battle front in Europe i,s not the only American front. There is a home front, and our people at home should be as patriotic as our men in uniform in foreign lands. Every American soldier who has fallen in France, every American sailor who has died for his coun try's cause has given his life for his people. Surely we, their peo ple, oan lend our money to our Nation, their country. The Fourth Liberty Loan is the fighting loan. Its great success will bring comfort an encourage ment and a deep sense of pride to our Army and our Navy, and to our allies; it will bring discour agement to our enemies.

A New Training Camp Sport Cage ball, one of the latest ad ditions to the long list of training I camp sports conducted by the war department commission on train ing camp activities, bids fair to be come one of the most popular ath letic diversions among the soldiers | and sailors. Cage ball 'combines the play Value of several games. It has the rush and drive of football, the ex citing moments of basketball and the rough hustle and tussle of the class rush. The game can be played by a dozen, a hundred or a thousand men-; there is no limit to the num ber of players. Thus the weak and undeveloped may have the same experience, pleasure and profit that is. given to the skilled athlete who plays on a team whose players are limited. And the aggressive fighting spirit, so invaluable on the battlefield, is stimulated. R. T. JONES FUNERAL DIRECTOR Upholstering and Repairing Second Hand Furniture Bought and Sold FARMEHS' PLEUüE ON MILL FEEDS Conservation by Producer ne cessary to Save Lives of I | tion in Children Abroad. extension of the >f the the the Owing drought to shortening a reu, r animal poptihi and tin for feeding stuffs animals, because of shortage in production of try that we the tervation of feeding stuffs next twelve months; yet iwn animal corn crop, the lari Allied the country, demands upon us for their own their own feed gram, it is should exert every nvci in proper com during llie we must maintain our It is necessary that we larger proportion of wheat as compared with Hour during next twelve months than during the last twelve months to tin* Allied countries, because their own shortage «tnil's is such that if they « alive their dairy herds, larger supply of product ion. shit should a the «f feeding keep are t they must have a grain wheat. Already, the milk supply in the Al lied countries lias been limited prac the supply of children and tivally t< other vitally necessary national uses, and any failure on our part t« plv them with necessary for their dairy herd means that we the actual safety of sup feed stuffs cut int •hildren amongst the Allies. On the other hand, both our own popula tion and the Allies are dependent upon our production of animal products, and we do not in any way wish to stifle this production. What we must is the utmost elimination of shall the secure waste by the careful feeding of ani mals and the use of all the roughage available. (tue of the difficult problems is tlte distribution of wheat mill feeds, and tliis is made more difficult by the fact that the Food Administration, in an endeavor to protect the farmer, is maintaining an artificially low price on these feeds. One consequence is that a great deal of mill feeds are now going unnecessarily into work animals or beef production. Every farmer will recognize that the wheat mill feeds are vitally necessary for the dairy cattle, to some extent for the poultry, and for young pigs. Ow ing to the absorption of mill feeds at local points near the mill, consider able sections of the dairy industry are practically without mill feeds and our dairy production is thereby in danger. Tn this view, we are asking every buyer of wheat mill feeds, outside of the acute drought to sign a pledge of honor not to use the wheat mill feeds for any purpose except tlte essential use in dairy, young pig and poultry produc tion, and not to purchase or hold at any one time more titan 60 days sup ply. Unless we can secure this care ful and specialized use of mill feeds, our dairy production in the congested Eastern areas of the United States is hound to fall and to jeopardize the food supply of our people in that sec tion. Otherwise it will lie necessary to release the price restrictions on mill feeds and allow them to take their natural course. With a view operation from tlte farmers all over the country, in the interests of their Industry as a whole, the mills and all dealers in feeils are instructed to secure from the buyer of wheat mill feeds tlie following pledge; "In order to assist the Food Admin istration in th«> distribution of mill T hereby undertake on honor not to use wheat mill feeds for any other purpose titan the feeding of dairy cattle, poultry, young pigs or young calves, or tlte preparation of a weekly bran mash for work animals. I will not feed any more wheat mill feeds than is customarily fed to such animals anil I further agree not to have at any one time more than a 60-day supply of wheat feeds on an mi, to securing tliis co feeds, hand." Tlte Food Administration is also requiring the millers and feed joh to distribute their wheat mill too«]* in such manner that each state receives the same proportion of the mill's or jobber's shipments as it re ceived in tlte same quarter in 1017. bers i PUNISH GROCER Who Sold Sugar to Housewives in 10 Pound Lots.
