PROCLAMATION.

The President Of the United
States having declared that the
supreme test of our nation has
come, and having asked for the
earnest support of our people in
the prosecution Of the war which
is now our war, | deem it my
duty to caution all citizens a.
gainst the waste of food, and to
advise that the utmost economy
be exercised in the consumption
of products of wheat, and of all
other foodstuffs.
The gravity of the situation,
which makes imperative rigid
outstanding OF the worlds food
supply, is set forth in the follow
ing plea cf Herbert C. Hoover,
Chairman of the American Com
mission for Relief in Belgium.
and recently appointed head of
the American Food Board:
"Our Allies cannot fight with
out food. Our enemies are calcu-
lating that America will fail to
supply them, and that they will
need to give in.
The total stock of food to-
day available in the Allied world
is not sufficient to last until
September, if America continues
it's present rate of consumption.
We are now face to face with
the results OF last years poor
harvest, the diversion Of man.
power from agriculture. all lover
the world, the sinking of food
ships and many other causes.
England, France, and Italy
are reducing 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 havel. exported
normally or than we can send if
we consume as usual. The only
hope Of providing thel deficiency
is by the elimination of waste
and actual and rigorous self
sacrifice on thes.part of IL the
American people,
Thus, by the exercise of patri-
otto self-restraint andlasjudicious
selection Of only the..most plent-
iful food for use,.. everys.Ameri-
can man, woman ..and .:child can
do his or her bit to aid America
and its Allies in this hour Of
need.
We are a nation Of 1O2,86O,OO
persons, of upwards of twenty
million families. If each family
will reduce its consumption of
food by but a pound a week
there can be added to the food
supply Of, Europe ten thousand
tons of foodstuffssxassweek or
over one half million tons a year.
Such a saving represents but
q small part of that which may
easily be made by the American
people, and which it will be
necessary for them to make in

Colored people should remem-
Der that the duty of registration
applies to them as we'll as to the
white race. Our readers should
inform them of this fact, and
save them from the severe pen
atty of not registering. Ignor-
ance of the requirements OF the
law will excuse no one.
Remember, you are dealing with
the government now, and your
name and age is known to the
officials in charge, and those who
fail to register on June 5 will be
rounded up as slackers by feder-
al officers and dealt with as de-
Serters.

A man is poor when he has
lost the confidence Of his friends,
when persons who are nearest
to him do not believe in him;
when his character is honey
combed by deceit and punctured
by dishonesty. He is poor when
he makes money at the expense
of his character. To be in the poor
house is not necessary to be
poor. If you have maintained
your integrity, if your character
stands forth square to the world,
if you have never bent the knee
of principle to avarice, you
are not poor, although you may
be compelled to beg bread.

If the country newspaper men
of the United States could have
all the delinquent subscriptions
they now have due them, and
what they have been beaten out
of, they could take almost as
big a slice of that seven billion

take. And this is no joke. The
