 The people are in a sense silent, but

 So long as we live we eat and the rrovision of the nations food is at all fines the greatest and the most com rlov of our industries. But now it will be greater than ever, for the pro- duction of food must become Amerl- ea's chief business. The people of the world must be fed. We are in this war and must play our part. Secre- tary Houston realizes that there must be exercised strong governmental con- trol in the distribution of food sup plies.
 The waste or slackness or hit and miss methods which to great extent have been a fault of our business methods of the past must be done away with if we are to accomplish our great purpose.
 And first of all we should know where We stand, and find out just what our resources are. This applies to food in storage and everything that goes to food production from the packing house to the plow.-Commer- cial Appeal.
