We must supply abundant food for

We must supply ships by the hun

abundant materials out of our fields

A MESSAGE TO
THE FARMERS
The President of the United States
Appeals to You and to the
Men, Women and Children
on the Farms

My Fellow Countrymen:
The entrance of our own beloved
country into the grim and terrible
war for democracy and human rights
which has shaken the world creates
so many problems of national life
and action which calls for imme-
date consideration and settlement
that l hope you will permit me to
address to you a few words of ear
nest counsel and appeal with regard
to them.
We are rapidly putting our navy
one effective war footing and are
about to create and equip a great
navy, but these are the simplest
parts of the great task to which We
have addressed ourselves. There is
not single selfish element, so far
as l can see, in the cause we are
fighting for. We are fighting for
what we believe and wish to be the
rights of mankind and for the future
peace and sucurity of the world. To
do this great thing worthily and sue
cessfully we must devote ourselves
to the service without regard to pro-
fit or material advantage and with
an energy and intelligence that will
rise to the level of the enterprise
itself. We must realize to the full
how great the task is and how many
things, how many kinds and ele-
ments of capacity and service and
self sacrifice it involves.
These. then, are the things We
must do, and do WELL besides fight

and there shall be no unwarranted
manipulation of the nations food
supply by those who handle it on its
way TO the consumer This is our
opportunity to demonstrate the
efficiency of a great Democracy and
we shall not fall short of it!
To the men who run the rail-
ways of the country, whether they
be managers or operative employ
ees, let me say that the railways are
arteries of the nations life and that
upon them rest the immense re-
sponsibility of seeing to 1t that those
arteries suffer no obstruction of any
kind, no efficiency or slakened
power. To the merchant let me sug
guest the motto, Small profits and
quick service" and to the ship
builder the thought that the life of
the war depends upon him. The
food and the war supplies must be
carried across the seas no matter
how many ships are sent to the bot
tom. The places of those that go
down must be supplied and supplied
at once. To the miner let me say
that he stands where the farmer
does: the work of the world waits
on him If he slakens or fails, ar
mics and statemen are helpless. He
also is enlisted in the great Service
Army. The manufacturer does not
need to be told, hope, that the ma
ton looks to him to speed and per-
feet every process; and l want only
to remind his employees that their
service is absolutely indispensable
and is counted on by every man who
loves the country and its liberties.
Let me suggest, also, that every
one who creates or cultivates gar
den helps, and helps greatly, to solve
the problem of the feeding of the
nations; and that every housewife
who practices strict economy puts
herself in the ranks of those who
serve the nation. This is the time
for America to correct her unpar-
donable fault of wastfullness and
extravaganza. Let every man and
every woman assume the duty or
careful, provident use and expendi-
ture as a public duty, as dictate
of patriotism which no one can now
expect ever to be excused or for
given for ignoring.
In the hope that this statement
of the needs of the nation and or
the world in this hour of supreme
crisis may stimulate those to whom
it comes and remind all who need
reminder of the solemn duties OF a
time such as the world has never
seen before | beg that all editors
and publishers everywhere will give
as prominent publication and as
wide circulation as possible TO TINS
appeal, | venture TO suggest, also,
to all advertising agencies that they
would perhaps render a very sub
stantial and timely service to the
country if they would give 1t wide
spread repetition. And | hope that
clergymen will not think the theme
of it an unworthy or inappropriate
subject of comment and homily from
their pulpits.
THE SUPREME TEST OF THE
NATION HAS COME. WE MUST
ALL SPEAK, ACT, AND SERVE
TOGETHER.

refused to reveal the location OF the
