C, April 30, 1918 My uear Mr. (Jopeland I read Mrs. Kirchner's letter in last week's NEWS. I was unable tohear ;he band concert, but I agree with her Mat German bandmasters ought to oe suppressed along with the rest o: the tribe. But I think there are some points in the letter vthat must be con tested in a friendly spirit. in the first place, Dr. Muck, direc- tor of the Boston Symphony, did not play "German music under English tle." His intelligent audience would have been amused at that. He play- kerned for that. Beethoven and Brahms have been on th tiro- . I our great orchestras about Muck was interned for activities other than musical. "The peons of our foes" no one wants to hear, but a pean is a song of triumph, and the "Beautiful Blue Danube" does not fall in that class, nor in the class with our "Dixie," since it has no words. It is just a perfect waltz tune, a charming yel low butterfly of a composition, some thing to be" missed from the sunny garden of such music. National airs and hymns are juite different. They are symbols, like Hindenburg's face, of something we have learned to loath and hate be yond the meaning of words. Sym bols of that fierce, repulsive, degen erate egoism we have learned in Ger many. , Patriotism is loyalty to one's coun try, but there are other forms of loy alty that do not conflict with patriot sm, at least in our case, because our :ause is holy. One must be loyal to reat art, one need not discard its dorescence, such as the waltz in luestion. Art transcends, mere na tionalism and becomes a manifesta tion of the presence of our Creator. So many people have felt as Mrs. Kirchner does that even the Metro politan gave up German opera. Bui Jerman operas could not be given iow by our own singers, and the Ger nan singers are spies. In an arti cle I have read about Germany in 'ar time the statement is made that jhakespeare, and other English and Yench : playwrights' have been seen .s usual. To explain this the com ment runs: "At first sight ihii ould appear to argue a more aciuii tate of mind than is manifested in ther beiigerant states where wonci. :nd men win merit by a campaign ven against enemy sonatas.' The ruth appears to be that the wa; osts with such crushing weight upoi. he Central European consciousness s that such a petty, patriotic pose is olt to be utterly out of place.' Very sincerely, LOIS WILCOX. W. s. S. ' NOTICE OF SALE. By virtue of an order of the Clerk )f the Superior Court of Polk county nade in the Special Proceeding en ;itled, "W. J.

Meat Supply Here Considerably En larged Food Administration, However, Warns Against Waste. The allies have made further and Increased demands for breadstuffs, these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage in arrivals from the Argentine. It is, therefore, necessary for the U. S. Food Adminis tration to urge a still further reduction In the consumption of bread, and bread stuffs generally if we are to meet our export' necessities. The Food Admin istration lias issued a statement ex plaining the situation in detail, partic ularly the reasons which lead it, for the purpose of centering effort for the time being upon the cereal situation to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption. Experience shows, this statement says, that the consumption of bread stuffs Is intimately associated with the consumption of meat. Jor various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are consid erably enlarged, and we can supply the allies with all of the meat products which transportation facilities render possible and at the same time some what increase our own consumption. n these circumstance's the Food Ad ministration considers it wise to relax the voluntary restrictions on meat con sumption to some extent with a view to further decreasing bread consump tion. Conservation of food must be ad justed to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor al- ied demands are constant factors, nor can any of these factors be anticipated for long periods in advance in the dis turbed conditions In which we at pres ent live. While the world situation is not one tha warrants any relaxation in the efforts to eliminate waste or to relax economy in food, the Adminis tration desires to secure better adjust ment In food balances. So long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we ask are the beefless and porkless Tuesday. The meatless meal and the porkless Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers of the United States are responding to the national call to increase hoe production. Their In crease, to all appearances, is being at tained more rapidly. Of more imme diate Importance, however, are several complex factors which have effected an immediate increase in meat sup plies. ; The transportation shortage before the government took over the rail roads, the bad weather in January and early in February, the large percent age of innnature corn in the last har vest and the necessity of feeding this corn as rapidly as possible to save it from decay, have not only resulted in backing up the animals particularly hogs on the farms for a longer pe riod of feeding, but have resulted In a great increase in, their average weight and will result, with Improved trans portation conditions, which already ap pear, in larger than normal arrivals at' market for the next . two or three months. The weight of hogs coming to theniarket for the past two weeks indicates an increase in weight of from an average of -203 pounds last year to the almost unprecedented average of 232 pounds, or a net in crease in their meat value of over 15 per cent. This is a. distinct addition to the nation's meat supply. It there fore now seems certain that we have such enlarged supplies for at least some months to come, that we can not only increase our exports to the allies to the full extent of their transporta tion facilities, but at the same time can properly increase our domestic consumption. ' The response of the public to our re quests for reduced consumption of meat during the past few, months has. been most gratifying, and this service alone has enabled the government dur ing this period to provide such sup plies as transportation (to the allies permitted. - I" The Administration also suggests that in those parts of the country where the old fashioned home preser vation of pork is still the custom, this practice should be extended at the 'present time, as it will relieve the bur len upon transportation to and from he packing houses and Is economical ly sound as saving the cost of packing operations .and at the same time will provide home supplies of porkto last over the months of decreased supplies. The Food Administration desires to repeat that it does not want to give ' the impression that these are times when simplicity and moderation of liv ing are notn critically necessary, but that its sole desire is to secure an ad justment . between our different food supplies and meet changing conditions rrom time to time and to keep the pub- lie iuny ana irankly advised of it position with the full confidence nmi reliance tkat whenever It becomes nec essary renewed appeals for saving will met. the same loyal response as in the CEREALS QUAL1T If it is quality you are look ing for in your groceries, we have it. We take pride in the quality of the goods we sell. 1 W1LKINS '''& CO. SuccessoJt cf Swhik-Hudson Co. o w & TL 'Cm. Cl . O stand up when the Q is played.
