APPEAL MADE FOR FOOD PLEDGE SIGNATURES IN
 WEEK BEGINNING OCT 21

The Food Administration has issued the following:
 Most of the big things in our connection with the war have been accomplished by the typically American device of devoting a special week to a particular thing and making National drive for it. We have had Liberty Loan week, Red Cross week, and volun- teer week.
 And now, food pledge week, beginning October 21.
 For seven days the press and every possible organiza- tion in the country will be di- rected to the single end of getting the signatures of ev- cry man, woman, and child in the United States at the bottom of the food pledge. Everybody in the country has heard something about food saving and understands that it is one of the four biggest services necessary to win the war Everybody is more or less kindly disposed toward food saving hopes that the other fellow is carrying out the provisions of the Food Administration, and intends to adopt the wheatless and meatless meal himself before long.
 But now the time has come to sign up and do all these necessary things.
 At the end of food pledge week the membership of the United States Food Admins tration should be 100 per cent. of the people of the Nation.
 Be ready to do your bit" that week. It will be the big est sort of business because it is to help win the war.

Grain Review

Chicago, May 21-Wheat was dis
posed today as the king Of the grain
trade. Instead. the plebian cereal, oats
took first place in the amount of grain
