TRUTH TRIUMPHED IN
RENA MOONEY CASE

After the verdict in the Rena
Mooney trial, Attorney Mckenzie, of
counsel for defense, said:
"The simple truth triumphed over
perjury, corruption, bias and intoler-
ance. The acquitaal of Mrs. Mooney
morally is a conviction of Witness
Oxman and Prosecutor Fickert. The
trial of Mrs. Mooney has been the
most disgraceful trial ever had in
an American court room. There was
no evidence, nothing but corruption
and prejudice. Had she been con-
victed under such circumstances the
consequences to the American people
would have been far greater than the
loss of war.
"San Francisco jurors can no longer
be used by corporations to hang
working men and working women
whose legitimate efforts for better
ment arouse the enmity of employ
ers. The Shiny trial of the per-
jurer was plainly visible throughout
the entire case. When Assistant
Prosecutor Cunha said to Reporter
Fitch of the Survey Magazine, IF
knew that every single witness
who testified against Tom Mooney
perjured himself in his testimony, l
would not lift finger to get him
new trial., Cunha expressed better
than we can the attitude of those
officials of San Francisco who owe
their positions to corrupt public SER
vice corporations. No more dread
full indictment can be drawn against
officials than to quote Mr.. Cunha
statement"

FOOD CONSERVATION STRONGEST
CLEANEST AND SIMPLEST JOB

The government through the Food
Administration does not want any
American man, woman or child to go
poorly nourished. 1t needs to keep
its people strong, and healthy.
This can be done and wheat can
be saved simply by using less wheat
flour and more wheat flour substi-
tutes. Use rye bread, oatmeal
bread, barley bread. Mix a small
quantity of wheat flour with larger
quantity of corn meal of which there
is a great abundance-and make a
thoroughly nourishing and satisfying
wheat bread substitute.
A baked potato eaten in place of
a slice of all-wheat bread is another
way by which we can cut down our
usual consumption of wheat.
None of these substitute inflicts
any hardships or discomforts. They
taste just as good, are just as easily
digested and do not reduce the energy
supply needed for hard work.
What is more they cost less and
provide ready home solution of the
high cost of living.
Uncle Sam is making a great eff
fort to increase the crop of wheat
next year.
If we have little good weather,
and a little good luck to back up the
splendid organization of farmers in
some of the western wheat states, we
may raise more than a billion bushels
next year.
But even then it will be necessary
to economic because the worlds sup
plus Of food has been exhausted, and
it may take several years to build
up this surplus when peace returns.
