THE WORLDS
FOOD SHORTAGE
By Herbert Hoover

Our allies are dependent upon US for
food and for quantities larger than
we have ever before exported. They
are the first line of our defense, and
our money, or ships, or life blood, and,
not least, our food supply, must be of
a common stock. If we cannot main
tain our allies in their necessities, we
cannot expect them to remain con-
slant IN war. If their food fails, we
shall be left alone in the fight, and the
western line will move to the Atlantic
seaboard. 1t is thus a matter of our
own safety and self interest. 1t is
more than this-it is a matter of hu-
mainly that We give of our abundance
that we relieve suffering.
Of no less concern than the dislo-
cationof markets and the losses at sea
is the decrease in production among
the allies. If 100000 men are tax
en- out of productive labor and put
into war and war work, there can only
be one result. and that is diminution
in production of food Further con-
tributing causes to this diminution
are the lessening in the amount of fer
tilizer which is available, thru short
age of shipping and losses at sea, and
the consequent reduction in the pro-
ductivity Of the soil itself. This year
the decrease in production stands out
in more vivid silhouette than ever be-

.USEPRESIDENT'S
War MESSAGE

A majority of the high and graded
schools of Wisconsin having respond
ed to the request of the Wisconsin
Loyalty Legion to use the presidents
War Message" and the pamphlet on
"How the War Came to America" as
a basis in education in war topics, the
Legion is now urging that the work be
extended to the ungraded schools.
The presidents Message" is not
only one of the greatest historical do
cuments this country ha produced; it
is also an example of splendid, simple,
classic English which can be studied
and read with profit in any class in
reading Or composition.
1t has been annotated by some Of
Americas foremost historians, Civ
ing the facts upon which the Presi-
dent bases the statements. A study
of these notes will give the pupil a
better understanding of many phases
f the history of the war than the read

"How the War Came to America"
is the carefully prepared statement
Of the events that inevitably led this
nation to defend itself by war. A
study of it will enable any child or
adult to understand the causes back
Of the war.
With such material available, there
is no excuse for any school not be-
coming center of patriotic education
Parents are interested in this work
The whole nation is interested in it.
If the people do not know the facts
a nation cannot act intelligently. IF
any school is not doing this work it
is not only missing its opportunity and
cheating the children out of the most
important knowledge needed at this
time, but it is also leaving a gap in
the intellectual line of this nation thru
which the falsehoods of our enemies
may come and break our civilian NOR
ale.
The recent State Convention of the
Wisconsin Teachers adopted ringing
loyalty resolution. This work gives
an opportunity to translate that re-
solution into deeds.
The Wisconsin Loyalty Legion as
the representative of the Committee
on Public Information, urges every
citizen to make sure that this work
is being conducted in the schools near
it. 1t is as necessary that the public
school plants be used at this time as
that any other resource of the nation
be kept fully employed.

Man Troubled for Two Years

No one should suffer backache,
rheumatic pains, stiff joints, swollen
sore muscles, when relief can be easily
had. James McCrey, Berrien Center,

years. He used several kinds of medi-
cine without relief, but Foley's Kidney
Pills cured him. Sold everywhere.

LESS Freight
ONHIGH GRADE
FERTILIZERS

With fertilizers high priced and
scarce this year, it is more important
than ever to use high grade rather
than low grade goods. Plantfood al
ways costs the consumer more in low
grade formulate, and now there is an
added argument for high quality-less
freight space is required to move a
given amount of actual plantfood.
Agricultural colleges and fertiliz-
er manufacturers are endeavoring to
educate the consumer to purchase high
grade goods but many farmers still
insist on buying quantity rather than
quality. This is a good year to begin
quality.

Nnen Mdllgnlty ana hatred Ruie'
Lord, have mercy on thy people de-
spite the fact that they are turning
more and more away from thee: that
they are destroying thy monasteries
and cloisters and forgetting thee. A
time will come in Europe when these
people will feel the weight of thy
hand, when malignity and hatred will
rule. 1t will be a time when the pa
pal seat will be vacant, and the
conf1agration will come as the result
of the murder of a prince. Seven ma
lions will rise against the eagle with
one head and the eagle with two heads.
The birds will defend themselves fu-
riously and viciously with their talons,
and their wings will protect their peo-
pies, A prince from their very midst,
sovereign who mounts his horse
from the wrong side, will be encom-
passed by wall of enemies. His
slogan will be Onward with Godr The
Almighty God will lead him from vic
tory to victory and many will meet
their death.
''There will be wagons without
horses, and fiery dragons will fly

The terrible war will last three years

bought, and bread will be carefully
distributed. The seas will be tinged

nevertheless will endure to the end
'"The land to the west will be one
vast desolation, and the land in the
ocean will, with its king, be crushed
and suffer all the pangs of hunger.
The land of the bearded people will
still endure for long time to come,
and following the war the world will
be united in one great brotherhood
"The victors will carry a cross, and
between four small cities and four
steeples Of equal height the decisive
battle will be fought. Between two
linden trees the victor will fall upon
his knees before his army, lift his
hands to heaven and thank God. Fol-
