AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.

With Military Demands Upon Ocean Shipping Relieved, World Is Able to Return to Normal White Wheat Bread. Since the advent of the latest wheat crop the only limitation upon Ameri- can exports to Europe has been the shortage of shipping. Between July 1: and October 10 we shipped 65,980.305 bushels. Ir this rate should continue until the endoor the fiscal year we will have furnished the Allies with more than 237,500,000 bushels of wheat and dour in terms of wheat. The result of increased production and conservation efforts in United States has been that with the cessation of hostilities we are able to return to a normal wheat diet.

Supplies that have accumulated in Australia. Argentine and other hitherto inaccessible markets may be tapped by ships released from transport service, and European demand for American wheat probably will not exceed our normal, surplus. There is wheat enough available to have a white loa: at the common a table. But last year the tale was different. Only by the greatest possible saving and sacrifice were we able to keep a steady stream of wheat and flour moving across the sea.

We found ourselves at the beginning of the harvest year with an unusually short Even the most optimistic statisticians figured that we had a bare surplus or 20,000,000 bushels. And yet was facing the probability of a breed famine--and in Europe bread is by far the most important article in the diet. All of this surplus had leff the country early in the fall. By thes first of the year we had managed to ship a little more than 50,000,000 bushels by practicing the utmost ecopainy at home--by wheatless days, Wheatless meals, heavy substitution of other cereals and by sacrifice at almost every meal throughout the Country. In January the late Lees Rhondda, then British Food Controller, cabled that only if we sent an additional 000,000 bushels before Only 1 could lie take the responsibilit of assuring his people that they would be fed.

The response of the American peopie was 85,000.000 Moshels safely dellvered overseas between January 1 and July 1. Out of harvest which gave us only 20.000,000 bushels surplus we actually shippel 141,000.000 bushels. Thus did Arterica fulfill her pledge that the Allied bread rations could be maintained, and already the American people are demonstrating that, with an awakened war conscience, last year's tigotes will be bettered. our exports since country entered the war have justified a statement made by the Food Adjoinistration shortly after its conreption, ouflining the principles and policies that would govern the solution of this country's food problems. "The whole foundation of mocracy," declared the Food Administration.

"lies in the individual initiative of its people and their willingness to serve the interests of the nation with plete self effacement in the time of emergency. Democracy can yield to discipline, and we can solve this food problem for our own people and for the Allies in this way. To have done so will trave been a greater service than our iminediate objective, for we have demonstrated the rightfulness of our faith and our ability to defend ourselves without beIng Prussianized." Sending to Europe 141,000,000 bushels of wheat from a surplus of apparently nothing was the outstanding explott of the American food army in the critical year of the war.

THE POWER AND PHILOSOPHY OF FAITH, The sermon last evening at Christian church revival dealt with the question of Faith. Mr. Henshaw told his hearers that although faith was a universal doctrine in Christendom there were many peole who had not a New Testament conception of it.

"Faith is not blind. senseless trust," said he, "but is an intelligent rational and reasonable principle off action that grows out of testimony and evidence. There is not one single record of New Testament conversion in which faith has not grown out of the presentation er evidence testimony, not one. The personality behind faith is the Holy Spirit of God. He it is who brings the sinner to the Son of God.

But he never brought one single sinner to God in the New Testament record independent of the Word of Truth. That is why the inspired explanation says: 'Now faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of The foundation ot faith is the truth of Peter's confes-, sion regarding 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living All New Testament scripture agrees to this." subject, "Repentance."

The fact that people of the United States to reduce boy more than one-hal million tons their July, August, September and October consumption of agar proves conclusively that their war conscience WaS thoroughly awAkened and that the country as a whole stood reads to follow the injunetons of the Government.

Our normal consumption of sugar in the four-morth period beginning with July has beta 400.000 tons per month, a Total of 1,600,000 for the quarter year. In July, when our sugar stringency began to reach its height, consumption was refaced to 260,000 tons. In August ofty 325,000 tons went into distribute and in September only 000 In October the distribution fell a 230,000 tons. If the general public had failed to observe the injunctions of the Food Administration this country would hike been in the throes of a sugar rumine before the end of August. Our Visible supplies were so low as to bring great anxlety to those familiar with the sugar situation.

They feared that it would be absolutely impossible to reduce consumption to a point where sugar would no longer be a mere luxury in the American diet. Few accomplishments of the Food Administration will stand forth so predominantly as this reduced consumpation of sugar. By it we have been able to bridge over the period of stringency until the new beet and Louisiana cane sugar crops were in sight. Now the nation is in a position so that If we choose we may retarn 10 our normal home use of sugar, and Europe, with the release of ships to go far afield, can maintain its recent restricted rations. If.

however, those nations are to increase their use of sugar very considerably it must be by our continned sharing with them through limiting our own consumption. AMERICAN SPIRIT RELIED ON TO WIN.

DISTRICT COURT HAD BUSY DAY MONDAY Numerous Court Cases Disposed Of-Two Divorces Granted An adjourned day of district court was held here yesterday, Judge F. F.

Prigg presiding. It wa3 one of the busiest days in the history of the court and much business was disposed of. A divorce was granted to James H. Tucker from Essie Tucker on the grounds of abandonment. Also a divorce was granted to Bertha H.

White from Dudley, D. White on the same grounds. Arguments on the motion for a new trial in the cases wherein M. W. Dey, Robert Dey and the First National bank are the principals, were presented and the court took the matter under advisement.

Several suits to quiet title were settled and several motions were passed upon on legal points. A decision was rendered for the plaintiff in the Lehman H. I. Co. vs.

C. R. Ramey, to recover on a note. The evidence showed that Ramey had signed a note as security for J. W.

Ramsey in 1915, and when the note became due, he refused to sign a new note, hut Ramsey presented a note to which it was stated he had forged the name of Ramey. The judgment was granted on the original note. Hedwardo Espinza, the Mexican who assaulted Special Officer Thompson some months ago, had promised to plead guilty under promise of pa role and permission to, return to Mexico. But when the interpreter re layed the question to him as to his guilt, he balked and refused to say he was guilty. That means that he will be tried and the evidence is sail to be of such a nature that there is small chance of his escaping a prison term.
