Will Hunger Come?

We may put it down as a self
evident fact that if the people of
this country persist, during the
coming year, in living on the same
eXtravagant scale of former years,
we as a nation will strike the rocks.
Experts in the agricultural de
partment have estimated that the
actual waste OF food in the United
States is 100000, 600 annually.
This is i'll addition to the enormous
consumption III excess of what is
really needed to support life com
fortably.
The international Institute of
Agriculture sends this solemn warn
ing from Rome: The worlds
food crop is deficient and the situ-
alton is becoming alarming.
Now we are doing much talking
as to the duty of raising bumper
crops, of increasing our production
in every way possible, which is per
fectly right. But more than this is
needed. We must act as well as
talk.
Heretofore the United States has
always had a safe surplus OF food
stuffs from one harvest when the
next was garnered This very fact,
possibly, has had more to do with
fostering our extravaganza than
anything else. We have felt that
our resources were boundiess and
that we could never come to want.
Nov, however, that surplus has
vanished, and in IFS place we have
only gold, the most useless COM
modify in the world unless it can
be exchanged for that which we
need. And at last we must wake
up and face the fact that we are up
against a food shortage, and gold
can not buy food where no food
exists.
! he solution of the food problem
is up to every man, woman and
child in the country. 1t is useless
to minCe words for fear of hurting
some ones feelings s-eXtravagance
and waste must cease. 1t Is useless
to undertake. to solace ourselves
with the prospect OF a large increase
in production. That OF itself wl'j
not relieve the situation if extrava
gance continues. All must exert
themselves to produce, and all must
exert themselves to save
You. our farmer friend, because
you have plenty and are raising
plenty more, have no right to waste
that plenty or to throw it away i'll
needless extravaganza Others will
need it, and it is their right that
they should be able TO get it.
You, Mr.. Rich Man, just because

feat of the Bray bill by a vote of ~
to - effectively forecloscs the
threats of tampcring with the pri-
mary election law at this session.
-Four bills intended TO change the
primary election law have already
been defeated in the house. One of

The Bray bill was more cou-cr-

tended that il was not a sufficient
modification Of the present primary
law to necessitate a referendum to
the people as suggested by Cover

to all thought Of any modification

BRAZILIAN NEWSPAPER
 DECLARES -FOUR PLACE
 IS AT SIDE OF U. S."

RIO JANIERO, Feb. 13.-In a lead ing editorial on Pan-Americanism the Corriere De Manhu says;
 'President Wilson has intervened in the European war and thereby broken down the narrow limits of the Monroe doctrine. But there is nothing in this act which is inconsistent with the tra- ditional policy of America. The war has a new phase, in which no nation will be able to remain isolated.
 Tn this grouping of powers our place is at the side of the United States. Our destiny lies with the great republic of the North. It is to be expected that the troubled times to come will result in realization of the Pan-American ideal"
