OF FOOD

gram received here by Slate Food Ad-.
ministrator lIcrried Herbert Hoover.
national food administrator appeals To
South Dakota TO aid in winning the war
through food conserwations. MIR.
Hoover says:
THE worlds ship tonnage has been
all thc available shipping must be
concentrated upon the shortest lane, in
order to carry the necessary supplies
of fuel and foodstulrs to France, italy
and England. Because of this shortage
OF shipping the large surplus of Ger
eals in Australia and India is beyond
the reach of The allies. The situation
in France is very grave, for while the
army will get what il needs, the civil
sluffs this winter because of the SER
lous crop shortage. In italy the situa-
ton is much the same.
Look to Us for Help
These countries look to lis as the
nearest resource 10 double last years
export of cereals. BotI1 France and
Italy are practically out of sugar. Our
problem is: 10 increase the export or
wheat by at least two hundred mil
lion, bushels: to double the export of
pork and pork products and beef; 10
increase our output of wool, by not
eating lamb or mutton: by going with
out animal fat as much as we can and
SavinS from our home consumption
the last possible ounce of sugar. This
years crops. are harvested; therefore,
IN order 10 live up to the respectfully
consciance into patriotism. For
wheat, we must rigidly substitute corn,
barley, rye. oats and rice: for pork
and pork products and beef and NUT
ton, we must substitute fish, poultry
anu eggs; for animal fats, we must use
vegetable oils such as cptlonseed, CO.
cnanut, peanut, and corn and olive
oil; for sugar, we must use syrup,
molasses a by-prOduct of sugar, and
honey.
Food the Determining Factor
The issue is critical: upon the Unit
cd States rests Tile Responsibility of
winning the war. and food will prove
determining factor. Our country
must he thoroughly aroused. Every
man, woman and child must Join the
army OF food-savers. 1t is for this
holds of the country 1t is the house
wives Of America who finally dispose
of ninety per cent of our food-stuffs
on Whom we must rely to relieve the
civilian population Of our allies. on
tile women OF this country, we depend
TO carry ont The purposes of The food
administration. We look to the men
and women ilyevery community to see

ilutely live up 10 The necessary regula-
lions. The women of America, tho

some way may be found of passing the
bill. l trust it may be drafted in some
way to be satisfactory to all.
Il believe that if Germany persists
in her policy of taking American lives

"If the issue comes that American
ships are sunk when they are known
to be american ships, America shall
fight if she is entitled to place on the

country will rise up as one man. There
will be no north, no south, no east, no
west-but all America"

and specifying that the bill is directed

",There are senator's" Cummins said.
who believe we should have instantly
made war when the Lusitania was
sunk. However monstrous Germany's
offense was, I am not one who be-
lieves we should imperil the lives of
our millions for such an act.
However, if congress feels we
should declare war, / want to vote on
a resolution of war in this body. We
should, If we want war, declare it so
the world will know our stand.
But we should not. in direct and
evasive manner, turn over to the presi-
dent the powers of taking steps which
may we'll lead to war.

This is not because l distrust Wood
row Wilson.
Il would as soon trust him as any
man whoever sat in the chair but il
is cowardly for congress to shirk the
duty of deciding this question"
Cummins said the slogan should be
stand by the government-not stand
by the president"
He said there have been more Amer
lean ships sunk by British mines than
by German submarines.
However" he said, although Brit
ain has violated all International law
/ agree that that does not mitigate
