Produce More or Consume Less After all is said, and af.cr wliathas been done, and is trying to be done, the whole problem of reducing high costs fcr everything simmers down to a very simple explanatio 1 of only five words: produce more or consume less. If farmers everywhere should produce twice as much as the world could consume, wheat and flour would soon be a drug on the market; or, If the world should consume for, say, two years, only one-half of the wheat raised, then, too, would bread * * 1 nf storehouses oe cneap, ?.iu jui ^ ~ to contain the surplus, the staff of life would become food for live stock. The same reduction in selling price would be true of corn, potatoes, cattie, rails, overcoats, kid gloves, rubber boots, houses, automobiles, and all the rest With a cold winter ahead and a scarcity of nuts and acorns, the squirrels don't work half time or go on strike. On the contrary they hustle harder than ever. Squirrels know that quitting work neither increases the qauntity of nuts, nor accumulates a reserve stock. And the higher the price of nuts in the squirrel market, the less they stop to chatter about it, and the longer ^nd harder they work. It is part of the price we pay for living outside a strip under theequator that we have to produce by work what we eat, and wear, and use. But 'who wants to live amidst malaria and venomous reptiles in order to wear palm leaves and have breadfruit drop into one's hands? The merchant's shelves of the world are practically bone-bare. One goes to purchase a needed article and is obliged to take something one does not want, or wait an indefinite time for suitable goods, ordered months ago, to arrive.

E, Wyke, U. S. Army Recruiting Offi-1 eer. Savannah. Ga., is issuing to for- j mer soldier of the American Expedi-! tionary Forces an eloquent tribute to the Americans who fought on French ' and German soil in the World War. | It had been intended by the French Government that this memorial should : be presented to the American Expeditionary Forces before they left j France, but it was not ready in time; to be given to all. However, determined that our men who fought overseas should know that the French Govern- j ment appreciated their sacrifices, their heroism and their achievements, it [ has requested that the memorial be presented to them individually. Soldiers and former soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces can obtain a copy of the memorial at The Ameri-1 can Legion, 41 Broad St., Charleston,! S. C., or Army Recruiting Station | 177 Meeting St., Charleston. The French Government regrets that the supply of this pamphlet is so small that it cannot be distributed generally, for it contains abundant Won*-*, as a nation and the PXWA UiaV M. ? ? French as individuals appreciate in full measure the glorious record of ! American arms in the war on Prussianism. The pamphlet is a brief history of what Americans did on the other side. It includes, also, interesting figures as to the devastation I wrought by the invading enemies and of the great financial and commercial j losses inflicted upon the land of La! fayette. I Even though it involves a little trouble, every reader who is entitled to receive one of these pamphlets is urged to obtain one, for as time goes on, solivenirs of the World War become scarcer. This souvenir will go down to prosterity as a mark of your service to the Nation during the World War. o For the second time a Virginia jury failed to agree on a verdict in i the case of Prohibition Inspector w.
