Grated on the part of the corner loaf

1t is his opinion that at the close
of the war all Europe will be con-
fronted by food shortage that will
send food prices soaring to attitudes
never attained before. 1t is for this
eventuality this nation must prepare.
The whole world is short of food
stuff. Unless we raise this summer
the largest crops which this country
has ever produced present prices of
food stuffs will seem very low as a
yead hence we look back upon the
conditions of today. said Mr.. Ed
monds.
While the European war has nee
essarily tremendously decreased the
production of food in Europe and in
creased the demand in order to feed
the armies, this is by no means
wholly responsible for high prices.
We had last year the most disas-
trous crop failure in the history of
the country. Our total production of
grain and other foodstuffs last year
was 1875, 100000 bushels short OF the
preceding year. This was equal to
an average decrease per capita OF
over thirteen bushels for every man,
woman and child in the United
States.
This shortage was in wheat, corn
oats, potatoes and other food pro
ducts. We can better understand
the extent of this when we remem
her that the average consumption o
wheat per capita in the United
States is about five bushels Thc
total wheat production of the Uni
ted States last year was about 500
100000 bushels short of the produc
tion of the preceding year. Indeed
the crops OF last year were on thu
whole smaller than we have had 70
ten years although during that tim'

the population has increased by
about twenty million.
This crop shortage would have
been bad enough If it had been con
fined to the United States alone. but
in Canada. in Argentine and in
other surplus grain growing coun-
tries crop shortage was almost as
serious as in the United States.
Thus the whole world Is suffering as
il has not in the last fifty years by
reason of worldwide shortage in pro-
duction. Under these conditions il
becomes of supreme Importance to
the welfare of the nation in order to
avoid the danger of an actual food

and by the world conditions.
This section should enormously

part in the production of munitions
of all kinds for war purposes, and /,
should throw into every line OF bus
mess activities the moblllzed
strength of all its brain. physical and
financial potentialities coupled with
the utilization of its unequalled nat
tural advantages. Unless the South
does these things it will fall short
of its responsibility and its oppor-
tunity in this world crisis.
Referring to the suggestion OF a
loan or a gift of billion dollars or
more to France, Mr. Edmonds added:
while il has not been my Thought
at all that the offer of loan would
be an insult to France. ii would be
far more generous and proper
thing for us to offer it as an outright
gift. Another suggestion has been
made to the effect that while we are
preparing to create an army we
should offer to France to bear the
entire financial cost OF maintaining
field, providing the money for every
expense of equipping, feeding and
clothing these million men so that
while France would be furnishing the
men we would be responsible finan-
cially for maintaining them. Ow-

of million people ready for the

the meantime the allies are maintain
ing the struggle for civilization and
for our defense at their own cost
against the greatest fighting machine
and the most barbarous power that
civilization has ever known.
THE least we can do. or that we
should do, Is to put our financial
strength back of the allies to the ut.
most extent that may be needed. and
TO do this not as a loan. but as a free
contribution to our own safety and
70 humanity During the last two
and half years we have enormously
increased our wealth through the
billions which Europe has paid us for
food supplies and war materials. Our
national wealth is increasing at the
rate of over 100000 900 600 a year.
and if we contributed five billion dol

be less than one-half of the gain in

of Europe will be so nearly on the

such a demand for food supplies as
has never been seen.
In this time of worldwide war ac-
tiyiiies the man who increases the
food supply may perchance be doing
as much for the welfare OF the ma
lion as the man who shoulders his
gun to do the actual fighting. Mil
lions of people-men. women and
children who are not available for
fighting purposes-must stand be-
hind the soldier and behind the ma
ton in helping to create the condi-
tions which will make successful war
a possibility.
Men cannot fight on empty stom-
achs. nor can the people engaged in
ell the varied business activities of
the nation prosper. unless the food
supply is sufficient for their needs
This thought should be broadened
out to cover every phase of bust
ness life. While millions of people
will be drawn from their usual pur-
suits of business activities, there must
be no let-up in the volume of trade
and OF manufacturing activities. The
nations wealth must be maintained
by the activities of the people of the
r.,,!on As every man who helps to
increase the food supply is doing a
patriotic service. SO every man who
is helping to carry on the productive
energies of the nation, and who is
creating employment for people, will
be doing a patriotic work and help
ing to sustain the government in the
coming war.
Though England has created an
army OF about five million men, or
more, and has turned million or
more from other pursuits to the max
ing of munitions and kindred opera
tions for making war possible. the
business men of England have so
vigorously pressed their business ac-
tivities that England's export and i'm.
port trade has been well maintained
and her manufactures are still ship
ping their products all over the world
as they did prior to the war. This
country must follow England's eX.

Depreciation in automobile values IS

Most cars look a year old after two or
three months under ordinary treatment.
It is very simple matter to keep the
auto body practically like new for, sew

i.fing in the right way.
