Supply Of Food Reduecd By 4.4 Secretaey Wallace Says Deficiency Requires A Shift In Diet Washington.—Figures made pub lic here indicate the drought has cut the nation’s food supply 4.4 percent, below "average consump tion” levels, a reduction which Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, said would have to be met by "shifts in diet” next winter. This first "nut shell” estimate of the drought’s effect was made possible by the issuance through the Agriculture Department’s Bur eau of Home Economics of an itemized calculation of the nation’s food needs and probable supplies. Based nojp upon a theoretical ideal diet but upon the traditional diet of America as established by actual consumption figures for the last ten years, it indicated that in animal foodstuffs alone—milk, but • ter» eggs> meat and poultry—there will be a shortage o f7.4 per cent., which will have to be offset by in creased consumption of other food stuffs unaffected by the drought. I i ne report was issued shortly j | before the Bureau of Labor Sta | tistics made public its weekly bul j letin on wholesale commodity price trends, the issue of which re gistered marked increase in food prices. The wholesale food price index as of August 11, the bureau reported, stood at 72.2, an increase of 15.2 per cent from this year’s low (January 6) and of 3 5.2 per cent, over the 193 3 low. It also marked an increase of 1.9 per cent, from the level of a month ago, 11 per cent, from the level of a year ago, and 15 per cent, from the level of two years ago. Secretary Wallace’ has said he expects a six to seven per cent, rise this winter in the general cost of living, and that the rise in food prices will exceed the general in- : crease. Agricultural economists i estimate the food price increases amount to about fifteen per cent. The index figure covering all wholesale commodity prices as of August 11, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, showed an increase of 0.4 per cent, for the week, 1.2 per cent, for the month, 8.5 per cent, for two years. This overall increase, however, was due chiefly to increases in the prices of farm products, food, fuel and lighting materials, the report said. Farm products showed a 67 54 per cent, increase from the 1933 low. Roosevelt's Recent Hawaiian Voyage Cost Only $400 Washington.—President Roose velt’s trip to Honolulu and back ' cost him less than $400. Anyone : else, traveling in similar style, 1 would have paid about $15 0,000. ' His ride on the cruiser Houston J from Annapolis to Portland, via 1 Honolulu, didn’t cost anybody any- J thing. ' Salaries of the crew would have continued and the ship would have been steaming somewhere, anway, ' so the navy figures there was no 1 extra cost in going to Honolulu. ' A private citizen couldn’t hire a . battleship for his personal use let J alone two destroyers as convoys. He ’ might, however, charter an ocean ‘ liner and a couple of smaller boats j to go along to Hawaii for $100,000 | or so. If a private citizen had sent as many radiograms as the president did his bill would have been $31, 500. A train awaited President Roose velt at Portland. He rode home in a private car but all he had to pay was $180 for two fares and $ 111 to the Pullman Company for a drawing room. To hire a special train from Portland to Washington , would cost anybody else $11,364.- ] 10. ‘ Mr. Roosevelt slept almost invar- { iably aboard ship or train. His hotel j bills therefore were neglibls. His , meals cost little. ; On most of his stops, he was in vited out to lunch. A generous es timate of the cost of his private , meals is $50. Another $50 would.j take care of his incidental expenses j —cigarettes, toothpaste, etc. The most of his trip in actual cash, therefore, amounted to about j $391. 1, Say, "I Saw It in \ THE WATCHMAN.” < i W^Ewing Galloway i J^ITTLE touched by scientific • progress or changing fashion trends, these Bavarian women are satisfied to stand ankle-deep in a stream and try to beat the dirt out of their family washing with flat wooden pounders. If they have ever heard of modern washing machines >or effective granulated laundry soap, such as Oxydol, which makes clothes clean without rubbing or boiling, It doesn’t seem to have made much difference to them. # The short full skirts and the elab orate hair-dress are part of the per manent fashions of this district.

Much dam- - age was done to plowed fields, roads j' and bridges. ° _ h BLEEDING Not liable to prove distressing, mless it amounts to hemorrhage. Lemorrhages may endanger life, erious bleeding from an extremity nnounces itself, and the first ef ectual effort should be—to stop he leak as quickly and *itelligently s possible. If one of the family is wounded n an extremity—arm or leg—we nust, above all, remain calm and .eep the judgment cool. Something nust be done before the physician •an be had. It must be done right. If the blood "spurts,” an artery las been wounded. If it flows teadily with dark blood, it is from vein—net very dangerous. For lemorrhage a compress is needed at ince. For the slow hawing from a vein, the compress, a tight roll of i muslin, may be put directly over < the wound, and, a girdling bandage wrapped round the limb, so as to ;xert the most pressure directly ben :ath the compress; bind and give ] pressure till the flow is arrested. ; Have all applications CLEAN . If the wound is dirty, cleanse quickly ; with water that has been toiled. Bleeding from an artery should be i arrested by applying the compress, < say, two inches or more above the t wound, to permit observation. To mask the spurting does not neces- < sarily check the bleeding. I saw a t frightened attendant once, slap a i wad of absorbent cotton over a i slashed artery and tie it cn with a 1 strip of muslin; the aged patient < nearly bled to death before I reached i Says Absentee Ballot Must Go DeLaney Says Sentiment Against Law Strong Over The State Charlotte.—The North Carolina absentee ballot law must be abolish ed, for the good of the Democratic party. Attorney James L. De Laney said. The statement was of more than ordinary significance, for Mr. DeLaney is a member of the Mecklenburg board of elections and a member of the state Demo cratic executive committee. "From all through the state,” he said, "is a wave of sentiment de manding the repeal of the absentee voting law, and the next legislature can do no less than respond to this public demand. "The absentee law was very good in its inception. It gave the soldiers in the world war an oppor tunity to vote in their home boxes. Since the war the law has been kept on the books. The purpose of continuing it was to give invalids and people forced to be away from home opportunity to vote. "But it now seems obvious that the law has been kept on the books too long. Abuses have become too prevalent. Complaint is too wide spread and insistent. "I think the next legislature will perform a real service for the peo ple of the state and for the De mocratic party by abolishing the absentee voting system entirely.” $1.50 AND SIX EGGS Boys and girls will have fun, hard times or not. They’ll have fun some way. A big crowd of club members down in South Carolina determined to have an outing in spite if lean pocketbooks. And t'hey did it, and had a wonderful time, with nothing more than pen nies, nickels and dimes and eggs to pay for it. Anything like the out ing this crowd had would have cost in the old days $5.00 or more. But they took this one for $1.50 and six sggs The stunt was carried out by the :lub folks in Sumter county under the leadership of J. M. Eleazer, :ounty agent and assistants in :harge of club work. There were 137 in the party when r.!l vr;r: tounted and the cr.r.'.vri begrv vhich had as its objective Charles ton and the many sights in that ricinity. It was no easy task to tonvey this great and lively lot of roung folks the 100 miles to Charleston, but it was done by notorbus and auto with a minimum ielay and no accidents. The trip covered three days and he $1.50 and eggs paid for it all. , t was necessary to eat and sleep in amp and this was made possible by ase of the Citadel, the name of a __■ -11_I L__ i_ _. ujvu j iai gc gavu~ Tings. From this headquarters the dub members made trips to points >f interest, one of which was upper nost, old Fort Sumter. A free >oat trip by a local line made this rip possible. Then the crowd visit d the old part of Charleston which s almost like "another world”, the J Sfavy Yard, an ocean liner, im >ortant buildings of Charleston, the nain park and the tomb of Chief Dsceola. A swim in the ocean com- < ilted the thrills. i In camp the time was employed vith programs, especially featuring ecreational and inspirational hours. * )n stunt night 28 different acts i'ere given, including songs, tricks j nd short plays. Every member re urned home refreshed from the fine ellowship, delightful and enriching xperiences. r’FS, YES < Headline: "Husband Leaves in 1 didst of Wife’s Bridge Party; Dis- . ppears.” 1 Just a fugitive from the chin ;ang. . 1 - ‘ j he beside.

At the cabin also, Hudson says, is a redbird. Each morning for the past sev eral days, Hudson saysj he has been awakened by a noise at the front door. It is a slight, fluttering noise; existing momentarily, then fading. Each morning Hudson investi gated and found on his threshold a berry or two picked from the woods and dropped by the door. Hudson watched and, finally, he saw the redbird. The bird would flutter through the trees with a berry, alight on a panel of the door and cock his head to one side. In the glass the bird could see its own reflection. Eor a time it would attempt to obtain some response from the image; then, failing, would drop the berries he carried and flutter away. Hudson says the bird, a male, is making love to its image. The berries are dainty morsels—evident ly tokens of a redbird’s affection. Out of consideration for the bird, Hudson says he plans to re place the glass door with a wood en one—unless the creature finally realizes its daily visits are fruitless. Franklin News Little Joe Nelson Fries celebrated his 7th birthday Friday, 17th by giving his little friends a party at his home.
