Producers U Responded Nobly

CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified In Pork Policy
Which Nov provides Chief Sup
ply to Meet Three Billion
- Pound Fat Shortage.
In line with the general plan of con
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration immediately following
the entrance of th. United states Into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is of particular signin
cance, as It demonstrates the hearty
co-operjitlon accorded the Food Ad
ministration by the maat producers of
the country.
According to reports of the U.' S.
Department of Agriculture, the.re was
an increase In cattle of 10,238,000 head
and-12,441,000 hogs, these figures com
piled to January 1 last. In the same
period there was a decrease of 819,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an Increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial informa
tion indicates an increase In hogs of
not less than eight per cent and not
more .than fifteen per cent, compared
with one year ago, with aa increase In
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,600,000,000 .pounds
more of pork products than were ,
available last year. Without this In
crease, the shipping program arranged
byMr. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been Impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30.
1917, amounted to 903,172,000 pounds,,
while for the same months of 191S the
production was l,277,rS9,000 pounds,
an increase of ova- 37-1,000,000 pounds
for "the qunrier.
During iie sa:nc period -In 1917 In
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1.2Jo.000.000 pounds as
against l,4.i,C00,C00 pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres
sion. Arid at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year his been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it hr.s bro.'ght about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats,
and It is to the United States that Eu
rope must look to supply its deficien
cy. At the same time there will con
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.'
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports of
beef for some time will be limited.
The' United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating tit capacity.
America's Fledge to
the Allies When Their
Lines Were Breaking
America will send the food, what
ever needs for victory. They believed,
they stood fast and with our men they
carried on to victory.
THE TEST NOW FULFILLED.
This government is nothing more
than the expression of the people, and
If we are to win the war it will be only
because every man, woman and child
charges himself daily and hourly with
the test, Does this or that contribute
to win the war? Herbert Hoover,
April 18, 1918.
With the solemn obligation of pro
viding that "margin" of food that
would safeguard against : starvation
our friends in Europe the housewife
and the consumer have learned hither
to ignored and unsuspected things
about food, have absorbed a whole
"college education" in food values,
food handling, buying arid substituting
that they will not want to forget.
Out voluntary food-saving not only
saved the Allies and made vital contri
bution to the winning of the war, but
Bated to ourselves in administration
expenses the outlay out of our own
"pockets that any. effective system of
rationing would have extracted. It
would have cost us about $45,000,000
to' have policed ourselves as against
the 2 cents per capita for eo-operating.
By saving and sharing America kept
the world together during the war cri
sis. By saving and sharing America
Will help to bring the healing of nations.-

Sheriff Shoots a
Sunday afternoon Charlie Mc
Xinley g-ot on a rampage and had
shot several times at a negro
vvoman in East Spencer, the
man having refused to have
anything to do with him. This
was reported to the officers and
Sheriff Krider Deputy Nash and
Officer Williams went after Vc
Kinley. It is .said that Mc-
Kinley had stated that he would
not be taken by an officer as long
aa he had his pistol. He was
located in a shantv-car in the
Spencer yards near the cattle
pen. Sheriff Knder entered the
car and it is said that McKinley
drew his pistol and was pointing
it at the" Sheriff . who was also
prepared and shot first. rJ he
sheriff shot twice and the negro
fell with two holes near his
heart. The remains of McKin
ley were interred at the county
home Monday. '
The other parties in the car
were put under arrest and taken
to jail. The coroner. D L Sides,
empannelled a jurv composed of
the Sheriff's friends and after
examining the winesses separ
ate rendered a verdict about
as follows;
Charlie McKinnley came to
his death by a shot from a pistol
in the hands of Sheriff J H Kri
der while the latter was perform
ing his duty and that he acted
in self defense.
Mr Krider has made a splen
did record as an officer, and
though the effects of flattery
has not made perceptible inroads
on his good judgement, no one
wiJJid.oubt the recessity
of his
hasty action. T ere is no
