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."

A fob Is a tailor, a man of the Amer

In Saturday Evening Post. It la the

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,

speaking of him ns a Jackie with its
Implication of small boyishness Is
anathema to him. He Is rough, tough

With the soldiers. Their resentment
of the attempt to tack the' Sammees

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

is a good, masculine, soldierly term;
thus the men in our navy call them
selves gobs.

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
