PATRIOTISM SHOULD OUTWEIGH
SELFISH INTEREST

Reports come from the West of farmers
feeding their wheat to stock rather than
sell it at the government price OF S2.2O
bushe 1t is not probable that any great
quantity of wheat is being used in man
r1er so irreconcilable to the food conserva-
ton program But if it is being done, even
on the smallest scale, those responsible
surely cannot realize their wanton dis
loyalty.
1t is quite natural for the producer to
be displeased when the government places
a lower selling price on his product than
he believes he should get. But every
American must know that it is his duty
to support the government and not to do
that duty closely approaches treachery.
With the government pleading with the
people to save wheat, the example of
farmers feeding it to stock is not savory
one Better would it be to sell it at the
cid price of 81 90 bushel-whicf the aver
age housewife thinks is all it should bring
than to put it to base use in a spirit Of
pique against the government which at
least must be given credit for doing it's best
to fix a price equally fair to producer and
ultimate consumer.
Most farmers will look at the matter in
that light and will feel that even though
they are not getting all that their wheat
might bring, by selling at the So 20 price
they are doing much toward helping Amer
lea win the war And that in itself out
weighs any money profit in the mind of the
true patriot.

DOCTORS CAN PROMOTE CON-
SCRANTON.

Doctors OF the country are being urged
to place the nation on a war time ration
basis, as an important factor in the food
conservation program and as a step toward
improving the national health.
Charles O'Brien, of New York, fore
most authority on food subjects, has COM
piled some interesting statistics which
show that before the war the death rate
among German men reached 1872 per thou
sand, largely because the people of Ger
many had become the heaviest meat eaters
in the world. Figures recently sent out
from Germany show that the civilian death
rate has dropped to - per thousand since
that country was placed on limited diet.
Food experts agree that if America
would eat intelligentlv we would require
less than we now consume and many of the
common diseases of civilization would be
all but eliminated
While system of rationing such as has
Eeen applied in Germany could not be in
troduced IN America, it is believed that con-
certed action on the part of the doctors
would accomplish results. We are used TO
having our doctors prescribe diets when
we are Ill and it is quite probable that the
great majority would follow the advice of
our physicians as what we should eat
in war time
Many who are very willing to aid in
food conservation simply don't know how
to start. They believe it must be good for
the nation and good for the individual. but
they don't understand exactly what they
should do. 1t will only take a recomn1en-
dation from their physicians to start the
great majority on the way to practical con-
servation and better health.

WHAT SOME OF THE WAR APPRO-
PRIATIONS MEAN.


Doubtless the reader, when he picks up
his newspaper and sees the war department
l.: asking for hundreds of millions of dol
lars, wonders what it is all about. He can
understand the cost of raising and equip
ping armies, the cost of transporting them,
and the cost of giving them rifles, big guns
and ammunition. But he is not apt to
think how much more is necessary, espec-
tally when an army is fighting on foreign
soil 5000 miles away from America
Here is what some of these appropria-
tons mean: In sending our armies to
France, we are trying to put Just as little
burden upon the French people as possible
This means that every pound of food. every
gun, every shell, every cartridge, will, if
possible, be sent "over there" from our
American supply depots.
Somewhere in France at the port of en-
Try designated for the American army, this
country will have to build big piers to &C
comrnodate our ships. 1t will have to
erect tremendous warehouses in which the
goods unloaded from the ships will be
stored.
From this port up to the part of the
trenches American troops are ultimately to
occupy, the United States engineer regi-
ments will build network of railways to
carry supplies and men back and forth. We
can't afford to cripple the efficiency of the
French armies by using French railroads.
Those must be left clear for French needs.
1t will be the same thing with automo-
bile roads. We will build our own
At various points we will have supply
depots near the firing line. We will have
big base hospitals There will be vast ma
chine shops in which to repair railroad en-
gines, artillery of all kinds auto trucks of
every description, armored cars, hospital
ambulances, airplane motors
An army of men will be working behind
the lines, and they will have to be housed.
They will be the men who will handle the
supplies and who will work in those i'm
;nerse repair shops.
American industrial cities, created solely
1or the duration of the war, will spring up
at various points in France. And the big
ger part we play in finally smashing the
Germans, the vaster will be the American
railways, roads, shops and warehouses.
These things are as vital to the war as
the men in khaki themselves. Without all
these preparations behind the lines, the
srrnv could not exist for three weeks.
This big building program has already
been started Regiments of American
army engineers are busy behind the lines
at present.
Once all is secure and in ship-shape order
in the rear, once food and supplies and the
other necessaries can be sent forward in
steady stream, the men in olive drab will
be ready to step into the trenches and take
up the battle for democracy.
