President Pleads for Food Economy.

The chief part Of the burden Of
finding food supplies for the peoples
associated with Us in war falls for
the present upon the American
people, aRd the drain upon supplies
on such a scale necessarily affects
the prices of our necessaries of life.
Our country, however, IS bless
ed with an abundance of foodstutfs,
and if our people will ecooomize in
their use of food, pgovidently con-
fning themselves to the quantities
required for the maintenance of
health and strength if they will
eliminate waste, and if they will
make use of those commodities OF
which we have a surplus and thus
free for export a larger proportion
of those required BY the world now
dependent upon us, We shall not
only be able to accomplish our OBJ
legations to them, but we shall OBJ
tain and establish reasonable prices
at home.
To provide an adequate supply
of food both for our own soldiers
on the other side of the seas and
for the civil populations and the
armies of the allies is one of our
first and foremost obligations; for
if we are to maintain their con-
stancy in this struggle for the in
dependence Of all nations we must
first maintain their health and
strength.
The solution of our food prob
lens, therefore. is dependent upon
the individual service of every man,
woman and child in the United
States.
The great voluntary effort in this
direction which has been initiated
and organized BY the food admin
istration upon my direction offers
an opportunity of service in the
war which IS open to every indi-
vidual and by which every individ-
nal may serve both his own people
aud the peoples of th- world.
We cannot accomplish our OBJ
jects in this great war without sac
rihces and devotion. and in no di-
rection can that sacrifice and devo-
ton be shown more than by each
home and public eating place in
the country pledging its support to
the food administration and COM
plying with its requests.

Permit to Charge for

NEW YORK. May 16. -- Theodore T.
Shonts, president of the New York Rail-
ways COMPANY has decided to ask the
New York Public Service Commission to
grant the company the right to charge two
cents for every transfer issued on it's lines
Similar action is expected from other To-
cal traction companies with the exception
of the lnterborough. operating the ~" and
subway systems.
The ss"en-cent fare is imperative where
transfer are issued. Mr.. Shonts asserts, if
his company is TO meet It's fixed charges
Mr. Shonts estimates the additional income
to the company under the two-cerN. .ans-
fer charge would approximate 5000. o. This
estimate is based on the assumption that
one-half those who now use two cars on the
downtown trip each morning would walk
part way.
