SCOUTS AIDING HOOVER

A Scout who eats corn pone for
| breakfast instead of a slice of wheat
bread may have no idea of performing
patriotic duty, but upon just such
small choices depends the success of
the United States in the present strug-
gle.
The president long ago recognized
the necessity of producing the maxi
mum Of food, utilizing all of it to the
best advantage and preventing waste.
For this purpose he appointed Mr..
Herbert Hoover as American food adj
ministrator.
The housewife holds the key to the
situation. If each saves a pound Of
bread week for each person in the
family, we shall have 1OO,OOO,OOO BUSH
els more of wheat this year for our
allies. A saving of two cents on each
meal every day for each person will
save to the nation for war purposes
$4,000, 100000 a year. Every Scout
will be glad to help his mother and the
other women who are bearing their
share Of the burden of war. Even
though he prefers toasted wheat bread,
he will eat his corn gladly and have
the wheat for the allies.
Even though he likes meat, he will
eat his reduced portion cheerfully, re-
membering that beyond the seas are
Scouts who have not tasted meat for
months.
He will apply the butter more thin
ly, and also learn to relish food which
contains the minimum of shortening.
He will ask for vegetables and fruits
grown in the home town, for these the
railroads do not have to carry.
He will put on his plate only that
which he is sure he can eat, and then
clean the plate.
He will help with the canning and
preserving, as well as the harvesting.
With his troop he will cooperate
with the local womens organizations
which are promoting the plans of the
food administration.
Mr.. Hoover has sent this letter to
Chief Scout Executive James e. West ::
II particularly hope that the Boy
Scouts of America will take a keen in
terest in the work of the food admin

From many quarters come protests
against the name Sammy" as applied
to our soldiers at the front The pro-
test is mostly on account of the SISSY
sound of the name it is claimed, and
there is much blood sweating in eff

But when you come to think of it, is
there any special reason for a nick
name at all? Why not Americans
