FOOD PROBLEM
MOST SERIOUS
WITH ALLIES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The war
demands upon the resources of France
were strikingly illustrated today in
ligurcs of foodstuffs prepared by a
military general for supplying France
and made public by the federal food
administrator.
The production of food, including
cereals, potatoes and beet roots, had
decreased from 350,000,000 hundred
weight in 1913 to 220,000,000 hundred
weight in 1917.
It is estimated that the require
ments for France this year could be
held to 40,000.000 hundredweight of
cereals, but the task of providing this
quantity promises to become most
difficult.

ERROR IN POSTAGE
STAMPS DISCOVERED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. — A mis
take by the United States government
in printing its sheets of 2-cent stamps
has given wide-awake dealers an op
portunity to indulge in the liveliest
speculation in current stamps that
has been known for several years. It
is the first time since the government
began isuing adhesive postage stamps
in 1847 that an actual error in value
has been made.
On one of the plates of the red 2
cent stamps there are three stamps
bearing the numeral “6" on each side
of the word “cents” instead of “2”.
When the error was discovered the
Postoftice Department recalled all the
copies, but a large number of them
got out and the collectors of United
States stamps have been making
great efforts to get them.
The error plate contains four sheets
of 100 stamps each. On one of these
sheets is one error and another sheet
contains two errors. When the mis
take was first discovered and it was
believed a few .sheets had been sold, a
few of the complete sheets, with the
errors, sold for $200 and more apiece.
It is estimated that 50,000 plates were
printed with the errors, making 150,
000 individual 5-cent stamps of the
color of the 2-cent variety.
There has ben a steady fall in price
and recently a dealer sold a few copies
at auction, the first time they have
been offered at public sale. A single
error brought $7.10.
