To Save Food For Allies, Not to Save Money
Duty Of American Homes; Winning War Not Picnic

India and Australia to Europe as it is
from America or Canada to Europe.
The urgent need is for wheat.
1t is our war, our institutions are at
stake and we must sacrifice something
in order to supply that wheat. An
economic problem is an entirely diff
ferent one. This is a war measure
and the worlds armies must be fed.
1t doesn't make any difference whether
the substituted potatoes, the substi-
tuted corn meal or the substituted
rice costs more or less. Wise men
and patriotic men, who see the worlds
situation, are pleading with the Amer
ican people to conserve wheat, and our
patriotic duty demands that that
wheat be saved regardless of our poe
textbooks.
NOT A PICNIC.
Does anybody suppose that the boys
who suffered with Washington at Val
ley Forge were there for a picnic?
The same spirit which made heroes of
our forefathers must animate the
house wives of America and prompt
them to use vegetable oils in cooking
in the place of animal fats.
The time has come for us to eat
chicken and rabbits in place of beef,
because we cannot ship rabbits and
cannot ship poultry abroad. We can
ship beef and pork and mutton.
THE SACK or CANDY.
The little child who spends his
nickel for a little sack of candy has
a perfect right to squander the nickel
if he wants to, and if his father will
permit him to do so, but the useless
consumption of that little sack of sugar
is contributing to the actual suffering,
not only of some soldier, but undoubt
edly of some child in France where
the ration of sugar for two years has
been less than one ounce day for
every man, woman and child in that
country. / am not pleading for our
people to have their children save their
nickels to swell the savings bank ac-
counts or increase the community
wealth That would be an economic
plea.
The war necessity demands that
they save the little sack of sugar.
Put the sugar that you must have
into the preservation of your fruit so
that our people can live on the fruit
which we cannot ship abroad but alb
solutely abolish the unnecessary con-
sumption of all sweets, because you
want to do something to help to pre-
serve the institutions of democracy
and of freedom and of liberty toward
which the world has been slowly ad-
vancing for 200 years; and which are
today confronted by the gravest peril
which has ever threatened them.

"a message to the people of New
Mexico by Ralph C. Ely, State Food
Administrator for New Mexico.)
AS a rule our newspapers have been
exceedingly generous in the space al
lotted to the Food Conservation Move
ment No one realizes more fully than
| do at what a cost of time and labor
our patriotic editors are doing their
bit in this cause.
BY letters, by personal inquiry and
now and then through editorials the
question is presented on every hand,
why are housewives told to use corn
meal, or potato flour in their bread
to put up the fruit that otherwise might
waste: contribute to the Red Cross,
either in money or in labor to give
and conserve on every hand but al
ways at an increased cost to her purse?
Why should not conservation work
both ways?'
Those questions are good and they
deserve reply.
Conservation is not economy, it is
substitution and the elimination of
waste, NOT so that our people may
grow rich, but for the sole purpose of
sustaining our boys at the front and
the armies of our allies on the firing
line that they may protect our institu-
tions-
Conservation is not necessarily price
regulation Il is d war measure, pure
and simple, because the great conflict
threatening the very existence of
democratic institutions in the world
is to be won by famine and not by
fighting. That famine takes the form
of an acute hunger for sugar, fats,
meats and wheat flour. We cannot
supply it by the shipment of bulky
potatoes or corn, for instance, because
potatoes are more than 80 per cent
water and the destruction of the ship
ping has made bulky shipments i'm
possible We cannot ship corn because
there are no mills in France or in
England for the making of corn meal
and If the meal were made in this
country it would deteriorate in quality
before il could reach the ovens of
Europe in the first place, and in the
second place because the bakers of
France know nothing about the max
ing of corn bread, and il they did make
it in their community bakeries, the
bread would deteriorate and crumble
before it could be consumed They
must have wheat flour They cannot
get the wheat from Russia; they can
not get it from Roumania or Bulgaria;
they have had no crop in Argentina
and the worlds shipping cannot be
taken away from the courses between
the United States and Europe to make
three times as long a journey from
Sierra County advocate., 1917-10-19

1t is not our province, who are
teaching the conservation of food, to
preach the gospel of saving or of thrift.
We are pointing out the great world
need for certain foods. You people Of
New Mexico must still work out your
destinies because you live in coun
try where individuaIism and liberty
prevail. We can only save those in
sttutons by helping our allies in
every way that we can to prevail in
this war, and every question that has
to do with personal gain or personal
profit, or personal enrichment, or per-
sonaI advantage is of trivial import
ance to every one of us compared to
the one great question of the preserv-
alton of the institutions upon which
our happiness absolutely depends.
That is the answer to those questions.
We have heard in New Mexico for the
last ten years that there is no place
for dealism. | want to say to you
that the world is fighting today as 1t
never fought before for the preserva-
tion of an ideal and that ideal Is the
right of individuals to live and to en-
joy liberty and to pursue happiness. If
our common enemy prevails, the in
dvidual will be lost because he will
be absorbed In the one idea OF nation
alsm.
We must win this war.
To that end we must conserve our
wheat, our meat and our sugar regard
less of the personal cost.

State Food Administrator.

NO INTENTION
OF REDUCTION IN
PRICE OF HOGS

The following telegram has been re-
ceived by the state food administra-
tion from National Administrator Her
bert Hoover:
"The statement has appeared in
Chicago papers that we intend to re-
duce hog prices to ten dollars. The
Chicago advices are absolutely untrue
and do not represent the opinion or
proposed action of the food admins
tration, which will take up steps to
jeopardize the livestock producers in
terest. All our powers will be used
to keep the prices at which Allied and
governmental purchases are made on
a plane that gives an assured return
of cost and profit to producers of meat
animals. In our opinion the best
market obtainable for the present corn
crop of the country will be through
livestock We need increased produc-
tion of beef and pork and the only way
to secure this increase will be by
profit on production.

G0MPERS, WED 50 YEARS, IS
 LAb0R'S GUEST

New York, Jan. 29-Samue1 Comp CTS, president of the American Fed erat1on of Labor, received one of the greatest ovations of his career when he arose to speak early today at the close of a testimonial dinner attend ed by more than 1,900 labor leaders from all parts of the country. MT. Gompers urged organized workmen to think about peace, to work for peace and to pray for peace
 Labor stands with it's shoulders suared,' he said, mot defiant but de- termined. The protest against condi- tions that work hardships must not be diverted for a moment"
 The labor, leader cecrared that while he could leave his children no fortune, he would leave better labor conditions under which they would not find it so hard to live as he had found it when he first entered the in- dustrial field. After every great time of strife and destruction, he said, there was a corresponding reaction which affected the mass of the peo- pie.
 The dinneI marked the 67th an- niversary of MT. Gompers' birth, the completion of 50 years of service in the cause of union labor and his golden wedding anniversary Presi- dent Wilson sent a letter of greeting and congratulation. In expressing re- gret for his inability to attend the dinner the president said:
 "Unhappily,t have been obliged to deny myself every pleasure of this kind because of imperative duties which fall upon me every day while the congress is in session."
 The speakers included James Dun can, vice president Of the American Federation of Labor; Hugh Frayne, general organizer; Frank Morrison, secretary; Warren. S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of LQcomo- tive Engineers; John Mitchell, chair man of the New York State Indus trial Commission; Newton B. Parker and others. It was nearly 3 o'clock when MT. Gompers made the con- cluding remarks.

LINER IN CANADIAN TRADE;
 HELD UP STEAMSHIP CHINA

The Laurentic was a triple screw liner owned by the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. CWhite Star Line). Before she was taken by the British Admiralty and converted into an aux Hilary cruiser, she was in the Canadian
 service from Liverpool.
 During the first two years of the war, she was engaged in patrol duty in the Far East but last fall she was returned to England. While in the Pacific she held up the American steamship China on Feb. 19, last year, and seized 38 Austrian and German subjects.-The China was bound from Shanghai to San Francisco. The State Department in Washington finally gained the release of those seized.
 It was the launching of the Lau- rentie at Belfast in 1908 that marked the entry of the White Star Line in the Canadian trade, in conjunction with the Dominion Line, also a part of the Internathonal Mercantile Ma rine. The was the first transatlantic liner to be fitted with combination of recipro eating engines. with low pressure turbine.
 She was 55Q4 feet long, with a beam of 674 feet. In addition to accommo- dations for 150 first class, 430 second class and $50 third class passengers. she was equipped with six cargo holds with large refrigerating chambers.

 The building stood in the center of the wholesale drygoods section. Mar row alleys separated it from other buildings, several of which caught fire and were slightly damaged Hot air explosions blew out the windows, re- sulting in a burst of flame which made it impossible to raise ladders against the building and the firemen were placed chiefly on nearby struc- lures. The fire was not brought under control for several hours.

 Russia Faces Famine

London, Jan. 29-Russia is experi- encing famine in the midst of plenty; according to an undated article in the Times from a correspondent in that country. The article refers chiefly Dut not exclusively to Petrograd and Moscow. The writer believes there IS enough food in Russia to supply the entire population for two years, bur owing to the inadequacy of the rail. roads, the lack of organization and coordination in distribution, the peo- pie in some districts find it difficult and even impossible to get supplies.
 The people of Petrograd have to stand for many hours in line to ob- tain meat, milk and bread. The ther- mometer in the capital is sometimes 20 below zero.
