Hoover Appeals TO the People ol
America.

hpoNsI Appcahs W VIC TWPN VI
America.
Herbert c. Hoover, the great AM
erican success as chairman Of the A.
merican Commission for Relief in Bel
eium, did his work SO we'll that the
people say he is more efficient than
the Germans themselves. President
Wilson has called him home to be
head of the American Food Board. He
is still in London, but he sends a call
from there to the American people TO
get ready for starvation. This call
every patriotic American should hear;
eater, farmer and college student alike.
The man who plants another acre Of
corn this spring, or the student who
helps him cultivate it, is surely pat
riot meeting our greatest need.
London, April 21.--The first and
most important duty Of the American
people to their allies is to economize
on foodstuffs. This is the appeal of
Herbert C. Hoover. "If we do not do
it," he declared today To the Associat-
ed Press, 1--WE stand grave chance of
losing the war, because our allies can
not fight without food. Our enemies
are calculating that America will fail
in this and our allies will need to give
in. America can upset these calcu-
lations."
Mr.. Hoover's observations were
made after three weeks consultation
with members Of the British, French
and Italian cabinets. He also inves-
tigated the food and shipping situa-
tion and plans for American cooper
alton. The net result he arrived at
was that between now and the next
harvest it would require a supreme ef-
fort by the American people.
OF utmost Gravity"
"I feel it my duty to emphasize"
Mr.. Hoover continued, "that the food
situation is one of the utmost gravity,
which, unless it is solved, may possi-
bly, result in the collapse of every
thing we hold dear in civilization.
"The total stock of food today avail
able in the allied world is simply not
sufficient to last till September if A.
merica continues at its present rate of
consumption. We are now face to face
with the result of last years poor har-
vest, the diversion of man-power from
agriculture all over the world, the un-
availing efforts Of the European wom-
en- to plant available fields fully, the
of Russia, the sinking of food
ships and many other causes.
England, France and Italy are re-
duchg consumption by drastic steps,
but even with all this reduction they
must have from us during the next
three months more than twice as much
food as we should have exported nor
mally or than we can send II we con-
sumo as usual.
"The only hope of providing the de-
ficiency is by the elimination of waste
and actual and rigorous self-sacrifce
on the part of the American people.
What Allies Must Have
"To carry the Allies over until the
next harvest we must reduce our
wheat consumption 80 per cent. This
means that every man, woman and
child must forego at least one loaf of
wheat bread per week and eat some
thing else or less generously.
"Morc than 70 per cent of the Am

When Rueeaneers Reisned.

The importance Of the island of St. Thomas arises from the fact that the harbor on the south side of the island, on whose borders tie town of Char lotte Amalie is located, is one of the finest in all tropical America. From the days of the buccaneers it's strate- gic advantage has been realized, for when the Spanish main was the happy hunting ground of the gentlemen of the black flag this harbor was their headquarters. Behind its outer hills the pirate craft found shelter from the open sea and were screened from the sight of passing ships until the mo- ment came 10 bounce upon them. In more recent times it has played the role of the safe harbor for the thou sands of vessels bound from Europe to Panama and surrounding territory, or vice versa. With a free port, where repairs, ships stores and coal might be had. upon which there had been no levy of tariff duties. the shipping world found the harbor of Charlotte Amalie an attractive way station on most of its Caribbean routes.-NatiOnal Geo graphic Magazine.

WHAT SHALL WE CALL IT?

The Director Of the United States Mint in his annual report recom- meuds the passage of a law author zing the coinage os g two-and-one- half cent piece. He states that there is 9 demand for it through out the country.
 There was g time when currency needs between the 1-cent and the SC pieces were taken care of. Don't you remember the big round 2-cent piece of copper that looked as big as a cart-wheel to childish eyes? And the Scent piece of brighter metal much sought after in the days of "all-day suckers" and lolly- pops?
 Nor have all forgotten the "shin- plaster fractional currency of the days after the Civil War. A dollars worth of it would fill pocket and for a fiye-dOllar gold piece you got a bundle of "Dlasters" that would paper a room. This good and legal tender of a generation ago is a museum curiosity now.
 The country can make use of the proposed coin, though we can see need for it in Alaska. It will doubtless fit in very well with our presnet decimal system of money, as CT of a dime and a tenth of a it will be half a michel, a quart quarter of a dollar.
 It may hurt the feelings of those eastern retailers we hear about who have been making many half cents and collecting the additional half cents on articles sold at so-many- and-a-haIf-cents and collecting the additional haI' cen to the next even unit.
 By all means let us have the new coin of copper and michel. But what are we going to call it? - Juneau Dispatch.
