Total Value of 1918 Food • Crop in France Falls Below Amount Produced Last Year. Despite an Increase of 25 per cent 'in wheat production, the total value of the 1918 crop of cereals, beans and potatoes In France la lesa than that of last year. This has been disclosed by M. Boret, the French food controller of the chamber of deputies, In an ad dress. "It should be stated clearly," said M. Boret, "that the total nutrition value of the 1918 crop of cereals as well as beans and potatoes In France, la below the total nutrition value of these products for last year. The wheat crop fortunately la larger and of better quality, but the maize, bar ter oats, beana and potato crops are considerably smaller. . "The potato situation Is particularly grave, for whereas the average for the last ten years la 12,000,000 long tons, | this year the potato crop will not ex ceed 7,000,000 long tons. Despite this shortage, we must supply the allied troops lighting In our land. We can not possibly refuse this Indispensable food to English and American troops who are constantly Increasing in num bers." For Sale! A Forma-Truck—Pord—ln A 1 con dition. T. C.

Blythe In Saturday Evening Post. It la the generic term for all men In the aerr-| Ice, op to those who wear the gold on their sleeves; and even so, the aall ors often speak of the austere com manding officer as the main gob. Tho 'use of it primarily la to show the sall ora' detestation for the usual desig nation of them—Jackles. Nothing rouses the Ire of a sailor so quickly' as to call him a Jackie. He doesn't like It, and will not have- It. No di minutive, as expressed by the Se," for him. It doesn't fit either his ?\vn as sumption of his manliness or with tho fact of that manliness. He Is a big, broad-chested, browned, hairy, two-fisted person, and this speaking of him ns a Jackie with its Implication of small boyishness Is anathema to him. He Is rough, tough stuff In a rough, tough game; a fight ing mao, a man who goes to sea In any thing that comes along, from n dread naught to a motor,launch no bigger than a whale 6oat, withstands the perils of It, does the Incalculable lu bor of It, has the clear-eyed courage of It, Is ready to fight over, on top or un der water, and does so fight, and ho feels Insulted to be called Jacklo as If he were a fair-haired, red-cheeked little fellow sailing a toy boat In a pond. Jackie? Forget that Jackie stuff. Where do you get It, anfhowT Gob, dod gast you—g-o-b! It Is the same With the soldiers. Their resentment of the attempt to tack the' Sammees on them is acrid and universal. They won't have It. And I don't blame them, having, as it happens, an acute personal Interest In the matter. Now Samuel Is a good sonorous filbllcal name, and Sam Is the virile contrac tion thereof, but this Sammee business gets on one's -nerves. Hence our soldiers, scorning the Sammee appel lation, call themselves Yanks, which is a good, masculine, soldierly term; thus the men in our navy call them selves gobs. | FOR A LAUGH f Wanted a Square Deal.

Dr. Frank Crane. . It I want to' redeem the *orld I can come nearer my object and do less harm by being Just toward my self and Just' toward nobody else, than by "doing good" to people. The only untainted charity is Jus tice. Often our ostensibly chari ties serve but to obscure and pal liate great evils. Conventional char ity arops pennies in the beggar B cup, arrfes bread to the starving, distributes clothing to the naked. Real chprity, Which is Justice, sets about removing the conditions that make beggary, starvation and na kedness. Conventional charity plays Lady Bountiful; Justice tries to es tablish such laws as shall give em ployment to all, so that they neeJ no bounty. .Charity makes the Old Man of the Sea feed sugar plums to the poor devil he is riding and choking; Justice would make him? get off his victim's back. Conven tional charity piously accepts things as they are and hepis the unfortunate; Justice goes to the legislature and changes things. Charity swats the fly; Jus.ice takes away the dung heaps that breja flies. Charity gives quinine in ma larial areas; justicfe drains the swamps. Charity sends surjeons and abulances and trained nurses to the war; justice struggles to se cure the internationalism that w.'ll prevent war. Cttarity works among the slum arecksl Justice dreams and plans that there be no more slums. Charity scrapes the soil surface; Justice subsoils. Charity is affected by symptoms; Justice 6y causes. Charity assumes evil in stitutions and cusOms to be a part of J)ivine Providence, and tear fully works away'at taking care o.' the wreckage; Justice regards in justice everywhere, custom-but tressed and respectable or not, as the work of the devil and vigor ously attacks it. Chirity is tim id and always is passing the col lection box ; justice is unafraid ana asks no alms, no patrons, beneveo lent support. The best part of the hunvin race does not want help, nor favor, nor charity; it Wants a fair chance ana a square deal. Charity is man s kindness. Justice is Ood's. Memorial to President Graham Plan- Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Hill, Dec. 21. —Tentative plans to erect on the campus of the University of North Carolini a permanent memoiisl to the late Prest. E. K. Graham in the form of a Student Activities Buildinj have jjust been announced. In accord ance with the sentiment widely prevailing among the alumni, fac ulty and trustees of the Universi ty, such a memori il was proponed by a Joint committee of trustees und faculty at a meeting held in Kaleigh recently. The cost of the structure will be around .1101000. According to the proposed plans such a building would contain V. M. C. A. and meeting rooms ana offices for various campus organi zations, such as the dramatic club, orchestra, glee club, student cojn cil, band, {publication boards, the North Carolina Club and the like. An auditorium ade juate ti provide for public performances of thlMe or ganizations are a part of the plan. The two literary societies, the Phi and Di, will probably occupy the right and left wings of the struct ure, respectively. A reception room or meeting place for alumni, stu dents and friends and relatives 01 students visiting w.ll be provided, in brief, such a monument to tie memory and honor of the f.ite Ed ucator would do much toward en couraging and stimulating all nor mal, healthy college activities. It is well known that President Graham in looking to the further enrichment of the studenl .C.e on the campus was greatly Interes-.ed in Just /this s irt :»f u l,j|ld ng. Prom the beginning of his prei.- dency he looked forward to the- day when such a structure would be placed on the campus. funds necessary for the erection of the building will be ra.se I by a special intensive sibscr.ption cam paign among the alumiii and stu dents. A special volume of Prest. (Ini liam's and audresse.4 will be pub lished during the spring. It will be put on sale at t1.50, and every alumnus desiring a copy will 11. out and return the curd being s;>iu him.
