STARVING NOT THE AIM,


Federal Food Administrator for Mis-
souri,, Dean F. B. Mumford, OF the
College OF Agriculture. In q statement
before the food conference at Jeffer-
: son City, made ciesr some Of the pur-
poses for which the family food en-
rollment campaign Is to be carried out
In Missouri the week of Oct, 2s to
November L
1T is noe true" said Commissioner
Mumford, that we are being asked
to starve ourselves, but the United
States Is calling upon the people Of
Missouri to help in this problem, by
signing this simple pledge which car
ries no compulsion. There is no long.
, er any doubt that there Is a world
scarcity Of the four commodities
wheat, meats, fats and sugar. The
United States is the only source OF
supply at the present time for these
great commodities, so far as the neu-
trails, allies and ourselves are con-
cerned. So there Is no question that
America viii be called upon to export
great quantities of these commodities
We cannot export them unless we con-
serve and use a smaller amount than
We have ever used before.

EvRoPE's FOOD CRISIS.
Americas Saving Can Relieve starva-
tlon and Misery.


Americans. Allies and the neutral
nations Of Europe who look to us for
bread are facing the bitterest disap-
pointment as the figures on the avail
able supply Of wheat become known.
Our crop this year, according to fed
eral estimates, amounts to 65g. g.797. 900
bushels. Our habit Of consuming Ave
pounds Of bread, per individual, each
week, win consume Of this crop, the
enormous figure Of 494,sS0,OOO bush
els. Seed requirements take 87,271, 900
bushels more. That leaves as our
contribution to Europe. only 1886, 900
bushels. Canada viii add 12O.OOo'O0o
more. SO North America has available.
for European consumption, less than
two hundred million bushels.
But that Is only onethird what
Europe would expect In normal times.
Great Britain. France and Italy are
enforcing the strictest food measures.
Even then. she faces shortage OF
400,0o0,000 bushels Of wheat which
means starvation to thousands. and
actual misery to millions.
America can relieve this tremen-
dous shortage at only very little
sacrifice for herself by economizing
and conserving her bread.

Ing for him, 80 Uncle Dan was cap
tured By the boys on short order.
"Say, Uncle Dam" Billie began. I'VE
had q red-hot argument at school yes
terday with Carl Newman. Carl said
that German schools were miles ahead
of our schools and that no one could
come up to the educated German. Well,
Jimmie got hot under the collar and
handed It back to him good and plenty.
Jimmie said II their education taught
them to torpedo Lusitanias, sink hos
pital ships, murder hundreds of wom-
en- and children. make slaves Of
the Belgians, poison wells. destroy fruit
trees and commit OH sorts Of crimes,
then we did not want that kind Of
education here. What do you think
about II, Uncle Dan? I told Jimmie
you spent a lot Of time In Europe and
knew all about schools, SO give rs your
opinion.'
"weil." replied Uncle Dan, deliber-
ately. ''the German schools are very
thorough; they furnish exceedingly val
uable and practical instruction. The
Industrial training given there is prob
ably the best to be found. The schools
as whole, however. In my opinion,
appeal to the head only, and never to
the heart. The aim and trend Is to
make the individual blindly submits

tiny Of Germany to rule the world. and
that to the glory and advance Of Ger
