No Fear of Food Overproduction,
It is folly to taik of the overproduc-
tion of foodstuffs this year. To suggest
tis mischievous, Auything that tends
to discourage farmers from planting
every acre possible or chill the zeal of
home gardeners will reduce the sup-
ply next winter and make certain
higher prices,
The country has been aroused by
the knowledge of world-wide shortage,
and this condition would not be
changed if peace were declared to-
morrow.
In the existing emergency, one of
the tasks set the United States is to
provision Earope us well as itself and
insure both against famine and ru-
inous prices. The wheat, corn sud
potatoes and other staplcs prodticed in
this country will be ne:ded to make
good the abnormal deficiency in Eu-
rope 8s well a3 replenish the reserves
here, now seriously depleted. The
general yield of foodstuffs cannot be'too
large. Bafety requires the raising of a
surplus that will help to restore the
balance after a year of lean crops and
excessive waste aud consumption.
The alarmist who raises the cry of
overproduction in the face of the ac-
tual situation is brother to the agitator
for a food embargo, disloys! to this Na-
tion and its allies in the war,

tain lion that has been killing cattle
and hogs for the past two weeks, cov-
ering the distance from the Long

have been slaughtered, to say nothing
of hogs and a colt or two
The lion 1s a big one, according to
the reports of a few who have caught
a glimpse of fit It is believed, too,
that it is an old fellow.
Two trained hunters and twelve
dogs are in pursuit. The dogs treed
the lion on Buckeye mountain, but it
escaped before the hunters could get
a shot at It
More than two thousand dollars’
worth of stock has been killed by the
lion In two weeks. 80 Trinity county
stockmen clubbed together and made
up a purse of $570 as a reward for its
head. The state fish and game com-
mission always pays $20 bounty for a
mountain lion. 8o the hunter who
slays this particular lion will receive
a reward of almost ix hundred dollars
The lion does not devour the
of the animals slain, being content to

Aluminum Now Plentiful,
Although aluminum was almost un
known a few years ago, it is now de-
clared by the United States geological
survey to be the most abundant of
metals. In the form of its oxide it
constitutes about 15 por cent of the
earth's crust. Within a generation it
has been so extensively exploited and
developed that its price has fallen
from $14 or $15 a pound to 20 cents.
There are further opportunities in the
perfection of a process whereby it may
be commercially extracted from the
unlimited deposits In the clays and
rocks whick are to be found in all
parts of the world.
