ARMOUR PREDICTS
FOOD SHORTAGEI In
THEUNITEDSTATES
Chicago Packer Says Meat
less Days and Rigid Gov
eminent Control Neces-
sary to Prevent Disaster.

Chicago, April 1o.-UnIess i'm
mediate steps are taken for gov
eminent control of food, with one
or two meatless days a week, tho
United States, before the year is
OUT will be as short of provisions
as any of the European nations.
This is the warning voiced today
by J. Ogden Armour, millionaire
packer and one CT the biggest deal
ers in food in the world.
Unless the United States wishes to
walk deliberately into a catastrophe, u
he declared. the best brains of the
country under government supervision
must Immediately devise means of in
creasing and conserving our food sup
ply"
FOOD SHORTAGE WORLDWIDE.
THE food shortage" Ogden said, lis
world wide. The European production
is cut in half. Argentine has suffered
droughts. The question of food supply
is the most pressing and important be-
fore us. We have entered the war
Our first duty Is to see that both ouI
own people and our allies have food
Government control will bring objec-
lions from firms whose profits will be
cut, but the individual must suffer to
benefit the mass.
Food manufacturers can easily
double their output. The people of the
United States are not awake to the
deadly seriousness of the situation they
are facing. We must rouse ourselves
from the lethargy into which we have
fallen"
PATRIOTIC SERVICE.
Armour declared that the man who
raises more food to supply our peo-
pie, our army and our allies" is just
as patriotic as the man who enlists.
Every acre of Armour's big estate al
Lake Forest, he said, will be immed-
lately devoted to raising foodstuffs and
used as grazing lands for cattle and
sheep.

Unless prompt action 10 taken to
store coal and keep the avenues OF
transportation open between the mines,
Idaho is likely to have a worse coal
famine next winter than 1t had in the
winter that has Just closed. A. S.
Sweet, president OF the Standard Coal
company of Salt Lake, calls the atten-
ton of the governor and the public
utilities commission to the seriousness
of the situation. Blame for the fail
ure to get much of the coal needed in
to the state Is placed at the door of
the oregon Short Line railroad, which,
President Sweet alleges, has furnished
certain mines with cars to the exclu-
sion of other mines. He points out that
the interstate commerce commission
has decided to adopt national sys-
tenn" and require all railroads to accept
coal from and furnish cars to every
operating mine.
I'VE assure you," says President
Sweet In his letter to the commission"
that the coal situation is in very seri-
Gus condition. The citizens Of Idaho
and adjoining states are going to be
very short of coal next fall and win
ter. We sincerely believe they will be
worse off than they were last year.
The demand for fuel on the part Of
railroads and industrial enterprises is
doubling and even TRIPPING. The mines
cannot respond on account of the in
ability of the railroads to supply cars.
Some pressure must be brought to
bear on the Oregon Short Line to COM
pei them to perform their duty in
keeping the through routes open and
in operation between the Utah mines
and the consumers of Idaho"
MAY LOCATE DEPoTS.
In his letter TO the governor, Presi-
dent Sweet points out the gravenass OF
the situation and the necessity for
some action being taken that will get
the necessary amount of coal into Ida
no during the coming summer. 1t is
announced that complaint will be
filed with the interstate commerce
commission covering the subject.
The coal famine in Idaho during the
past winter was exceptionally severe
in some sections. 1t was necessary for
some communities to burn fences and
sage brush. In q number of cities coal
was taken from cars in transit to re-
lieve the suffering. There is still a
serious coal shortage in many parts of
the state.
Every effort will be put forth by the
public utilities commission to relieve
the situation and to prepare for next
winter. In a recent communication to
the commission by the state board of
examiners, 1t was asked that precau-
tionary steps be taken. in view of the
