MUST GUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in Consump
tion Very Great.
Food Administration Correct* False
Impression Given ty Recent
News Dispatches.
Washington.—Recent press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun
try have given the wholly false Impres
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de
clares that every aspect of the wheat
situation, both present and prospec
tive, intensifies the need for the great
est possible limitation in the American
consumption of wheat awl wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
In the slightest degree relaxed It would
result in sejious want for the people
of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administration's estimate
of the poAtloQ on the first of June in
dicates a total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms.
In country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 56,000.000 bush
els. Of this 30.000,000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat Is avail
able for export if we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
abou 26.000.000 bushels for domestic
consumption fur the next two months.
Normal American consumption Is
something over 40.00,000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con
sumption at home would be only one
third of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available In rtour until the middle of
August or early September, although
In the extreme South It will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with its Increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the
willing building up of great national
reserves.

LAKE YIELDS TONS OF SALT
i
iNatural Phenomenon in South Austra
lia Constant Source of Revenue
to Its Owner.
On Yorka peninsula, la South Aus
tralia, says a writer In the Wide World,
Is a wonderful lake of pure salt. It
Is a huge depression In the earth which
fills up In the winter months. In the
hot summer sun the water quickly
evaporates, leaving a thick deposit of
almost pure salt. Seen from a dis
tance the surface of the lake has all
the appearance of being covered with
a sheet of Ice. That salt crust Is so
thick and strong that men and even
carts and plows can traverse It with
perfect safety. Yet below the crust
there Is a considerable body of slug
gish water.
After the rays of the summer sun
have played their part, the salt Is
gathered. It Is Just raked Into heaps,
and these pyramids of salt are a strik
ing feature of the landscape. The salt
Is now shoveled Into carts and con
veyed to various t works on the sea
board, to undergo the process of re
fining. Gathering the salt Is trying
work on account of the great heat and
the dazzling reflection. Often It Is
necessary for the men to wear colored
glasses to protect the eyes. After the
loose salt has been collected from the
surface a special kind of plow Is run
over It, when another harvest of the
valuable material can be reaped. The
yield of salt from this strange lake
amounts to several thousand tons a
year, and It Is among the finest ob
tainable. The lake Is several square
miles In area and Is naturally a very
valuable property.
WILL SPLIT BIGGEST ROCKS
Seemingly Nothing in Nature Is Able
to Withstand Expansive Force of
Tree's Roots.
This might very well be considered
a nature puzzle. Why should any sen
sible tree apparently select a dry rock
for a home when there is plently of
good soil all about In which to grow?
As a matter of fact there Is so little
rainfall where one tree grows. In New
Mexico, that it Is something of a won
der to an eastern traveler how «ny
tree, even with Its roots spreading
through the soil In every direction, can
stand the long drought of months' dur
ation. When a cedar tree, however, is
seen to be growing out of a crack in
a rock in an almost desert region the
matter becomes a veritable mystery.
Even under such adverse conditions,
trees will split the hardest of'rock. No
rock can withstand the expansive
force of a growing tree. Sometimes
the rock is cracked off In pieces gradu
ally, but oftentimes a big rock Is split
fairly In two, the tree roots relentless
ly forcing their way downward. Time
Is no consideration to the tree and
every spring It returns to the attack,
as the new sap Invigorates its roots
and trunk, never giving a fraction of
an Inch of what It has once gained.
The light is a slow but entirely one
sided affajr.

I will bring you beautiful things in

Before the frost hag <x>me and the

A day of gentleness, mellow and*

Whea the wind is at rest from his
rioting, romping career.

On t^is Indian Summer day in tis

I will give you a field all gleaned
and homey and bare
Save <or those Indina wigwams, the
shocks of corn,
Haunted and rustling and1 stiff in
th«* radiant air.
And ,'arther back where the flight
of the crow is borne,
I will jrive you a wonderful woods
whose trees would adorn
Many a tale of knights and of gob

And of quaint littl owls on their
stiff little twigs forlorn.

When the cold is sharp, and the

•. History of the 8wor<L
The sword came from ancient Egypt
and was used through Palestine, 8yrla
and Asia Minor, India and throughout
the western world. It was In Egypt
that the three shapes of the sword
blade originated, these being the
straight, the curved and the half
curved. The Roman sword was larger
than that of the Greeks and In the
days of the empire many of the sheaths
were so covered with precious stones
as to be veritable art treasures. Among
the Moslems the Jiighest title given to
a warrior of renown Is "the sword of
Allah." The Chinese made swords of
iron as early as 1879 B. 0.
