EAT LESS, GROW MORE
OR LOSE THE WAR
Hoover, Head of the American Food
Board, Appeals to the People of
America.


Herbert c. Hoover, the great Amer
lean success as chairman of the
American Commission for Relief in
Belgium, did his work SO we'll that the
people say he is more efficient than
the Germans themselves. President
Wilson has called him home to be
head of the American Food Board.
He is still in London, but he sends a
call from there to the American peo-
pie to get ready Off starvation. This
call every patriotic American should
hear--eater, farmer and college stu
dent alike. The man who plants an
other acre Of corn this spring, or the
student who helps him cultivate it, is
surely a patriot meeting our greatest
need.
l London, April 21.-The first and
IAost important duty of the American
people to their allies is to economic
on foodstuffs. This is the appeal of
Herbert G. Hoover. eff we do not do
it,, he declared today to the Associat-
ed Press, 1--WE stand grave chance
OF losing the war, because our allies
can not fight without food. Our enc
mics are calculating that America will
fail in this and our allies will need to
give in. America can upset these
calculations"
Mr.. Hoover's observations were
made after three weeks consultation
with members of the British, French
and Italian cabinets. He also investi-
gated the food and shipping situation
and plans for American cooperation.
The net result he arrived at was that
between now and the next harvest it
would require supreme effort by the
American people.
OF Utmost Gravity"
Il feel it my duty to emphasize,
Mr.. Hoover continued, chat the food
situation is one of the utmost gravity,
which, unless it is solved, maay pos
sibly result in the collapse of every
thing we hold dear in civilization.
The total stock of food today
available in the allied world is simply
not sufficient to last until September
if America continues at its present
rate of consumption. We are now
face to face with the result Of last
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-06-28

/ years poor harvest, the diversion O.
man-power from agriculture ali ovel
the world, the unavailing efforts o.
the European women TO plant avail
able fields fully, the isolation Of Rus
sias the sinking Of food ships, anC
many other causes.
England, France and Italy are re.
ducing consumption by drastic steps
but even with all this reduction they
must have from us during the next
three months more than twice as
much food as we should have export
ed normally or than we can send if
we consume as usual.
The only hone of providing the de-
ticiency is by the elimination Of waste
and actual and rigorous self-sacrifice
on the part OF the American people.
What Allies Must Have
To carry the allies over until the
next harvest we must reduce our
wheat consumption 30 per cent. This
means that every man, woman and
child must forego at least one loaf of
wheat bread per week and eat some
thing else or less generously.
more than 20 per cent. of Ameri-
can homes already are places of thrift,
economy and clean plate. In the re-
naming 80 per cent. no one can deny
that there is profigate extravaganza
and waste. Temperance in entertain
ment, food and drink is likelv to be-
come no longer an ethical question
among this class, but grim IMPOSE
ton of war.
World Will Face Starvation
Eve must also plant everything and
everywhere it viii grow, or next year
this time the food problem will be abb
solutely unsolvable and the world will
face absolute starvation.
Il do not believe there will be any
necessity to rigidly ration the Ameri-
can people, for if democracy is of any,
value as a spiritual and political faith
the personal initiative and willingness
to volunteer self-sacrifice of every
member of the greatest democracy in
the world will be ample to solve the
problem"
The College Student Answers the Call
As an answer to this call the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania is forming its
students into Food Growers Battal-
ions. Columbia University, New
York, is doing the same thing. These
students are sent to farms where
there is land and equipment sufficient
TO make them effective in increasing
acreage. These universities are Civ
ing college credit for this work, which
is the most vital thing in the world
today. There is no danger of low
prices on this crop. Plant more and
write to your nearest college or high
school asking for help to make the
crop. The Department of Agriculture
at Washington has already called on
them to help, as the Universities of
Pennsylvania and Columbia are doing.

the rounds VI the newspapers, was
written at the front in France by Will
liam McLachlan, who is serving with
one of the Scotch Highlander regi-
ments;
There's story now current, tho
strange it may seem,
Of the great Kaiser Bill and his Won
derful dream.
Being tired of the allies, he lay down
in bed,
And amongst other things he dreamt
he was dead,
And in a fine coffin was lying in state,
With a guard of brave Belgians, who
lamented his fate.
He wasn't long dead till he found to
his cost,
That his soul, like his soldiers, had
surely. been lost.
On leaving the earth, he to heaven
went straight
And arriving up there gave knock
at the gate.
But st. Peter looked out and in voice
loud and clear
Said: "Begone, Kaiser Bill, we don't
want you in here.
WELL" said the Kaiser, that's very
uncivil.
! suppose after that / must go to the
devil"
So he turned on his heel and off he
did go
At the top of his speed to the regions
below.
And when he got there he was filled
with dismay
When waiting outside he heard Old
Nick say
To his imps: "Now, look here boys,
give you a warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here in
the morning,
But don't let him in, for to me it's
quite clear,
He's a dangerous man and we don't
want him here.
If once he gets in there'll be no end
Of quarrels,
In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our
good morals"
20, Satan, my dear friend, the Kaiser
then cried,
Excuse me for listening while waiting
outside.
If you don't admit me, where can
| go?
Indeed" said the devil, II really don't
know"
"0h, do let me in, I'm weary and cold",
Said the Kaiser, quite anxious to enter
Nick's fold.
"Let me sit in corner, no matter how
hot"
mol" said the devil, "nost certainly
not.
We don't admit people for riches or
pelf;
Here are matches and sulphur, make
hell for yourself"
Then he kicked Wilhelm out and van
ished in smoke,
And just at that moment the Kaiser
awoke.
He jumped out of bed in shivering
sweat,
And said: well, that dream I shall
never forget.
That ] won't go to heaven, know
very well,
But it's really too bad to be kicked
out of hell"
