Three counties--Fremont, Custer

The three counties raised s16.s22 SO

You may think that because the

Another ruggestion Is made by

beer making has for years been
largely In the hands Of Germans. Why

The President By a Stroke or His
Pen Can SaUe More Wheat and
Sugar Than Millions of Families
Can SaUe IF He Would Prohibit
The BreUing of Beer

The people of the United States
have been asked to conserve certain
kinds OF foods--inciudine wheat and
sugar.
Candy makers over the country
have been asked to cut their output
in two and to make only half the
amount of candies formerly made in
order TO conserve the sugar supply.
The brewers Of this country are said
to consume 81 .ooo 00o bushels OF grain,
$50 600 900 gallons of molasses and
over 5o.0O0.00o pounds OF sugar a year
in the manufacture of beer.
The president OF the United States
has been given the authority by con
eress to stop the brewing Of beer in
order TO conserve the food supply OF
the nation.
So far the President has not
made move to cut OF nor limit
the use OF food stuffs or sugar In the
manufacture of beer.
Many people think that in justice
TO the whole people who are asked 10
conserve wheat and sugar that the
President should take some action on
the beer question.

brewing OF beer during the war II
would save as much wheat and sugar

fairs, of which he was a close student

broad and his comprehension keen
