' For months the government
through the papers asked the
people to save flour and not
store H away. Pleading did not
avail, and now your Uncle has
had somewhat to say that has
caused us to take notice. We
are still asked to save, especially
wheat, meat and sugar, but if
a tendency to disregard these in
structions is manifested it is on
]y a question < f time until we
shall hove tlu so things dished
out to us in small quantities
only. It is fat better to heed
now ihan to he forrrd later.

And so the fellow who always
thinks so intently upon his own
comfort that all neighborly in
t( rest in his fellowmun is excluded
is row going to bring
back the eight or ten sacks of
flour he has stored away for his
own use. Tie thought there
might not be enough for all tin
til harvest, so he would buy up
a supply and make 'lis own bis
cuit sure, whether others had
bread or not. lie has shown
himself to be very fiioughtless
or selfish, and our Uncle Sam
has found it necessary to teadh
him a little etiquette. Alter Ae

FordTS,W Submarine FightW
era at Detroit
' Washington, Jan. 31.?New
submarine fighters of a powerful
type are about to be turned
out into the United States vfj
large numbers. After testifying
today before the hous^ naval
committee on the naval' a&fo
priation bill Secretary D #els
authorized the statement? #that
contracts for "several Jss" of
the new craft have bred'fjMaced
...ial t? 1 *r ? - /
yvuu me roru lvioicyr Ksmpany
of Detroit. He desfcriKl them
as half way between a/uestroyer
and submarine cbfasaf' 200 feet
long and equipraedJwith latest
discoveries for; tufjnating sub
marines.
All parts of ships except the
engines ate to be fabricated in
Detroit and the parts shipped to
seaboard, where thev will be as
sembled. Changes in the Ford
p!ant to permit the handling ot
the work have progressed so
swiftly, Mr. Daniels said, that
the deliveries during the coming
summor are assured.
The new vessels are expected
to prove far superior to the chasers
now in use. They will
nave steam power wim a greater
radius ol action, will be more
seaworthy and will be able to
carry heavier armament. It has
developed that the latest German
submarines are equipped
with guns which outrange those
of, small chasers and even some
merchant ships.
Henry Ford, . president and
principal owner of the Ford
Company, recently placed before
Secretary Daniels plans
showing the practicability Of
converting a large s part of his
factory into a ship fabricating
plant. Naval constructors had
evolved the latest submarine
chaser and Hear Admiral Dauid
W. Taylor, with two assistants,

raining stations, Plans already
rave been approved for enlargng
the Pelham Pay (N. Y.) and
Norfolk (Va.) stations Five
housand men no v are at Pellam
Bay and 16,000 at Norfolk.
Secretary Daniels said the na/v
now has 95,000 men under
nstruclion and, with the recomnended
increase, will have men
mcugh to supply crews notony
for the entire naval construe
ion program as now contem)l?ted,
but also for the hundreds

jo placed under his supervision.
John Left the Burning Ford |
While John R. Green was
touring gasoline in a Ford by
un'ein light Sunday night the
:as caught fire and for a while
lie section of town south of the
aw road was liglited up just
bout as well as an up-to-date
let trie plant could do the job.
The fire alarm was given by
eighbors who felt sure that Mr.
?. D. Moore's residence, where
lie automobile was standing,
vas on fire. However, when
he tire fighting brigade assemb
ed thev were agreeably disappointed
to learn fiat the only vis
ble damage was a Ford with top
ind seats in a burnt and charred
ondition, which was the extent
>1 the damage, unless Johnnie inured
his wina running when
he gasoline covered his feet and
et fire to that part of his anatoiy
that took him a way from thel
anger with as much speed as if
nest of bumble bees had set
l^n on his person and pushed.
