HOOVER ASKS AMERICA
To SAVE MORE MEAT

Don't make it necessary for us to
reestablish meatless days" is the
plea which comes from Herbert
Hoover to Coloradoans to exert more
vigorous efforts to save meat.
If American and allied soldiers in
the trenches are to be adequately fed,
100000 pounds of meat and meat
products must be shipped overseas an
nually. In spite of this seemingly
large amount, the allies have found 1t
necessary to cut the meat ration to
one and one-half pounds per week per
person. American consumption is
three and one-quarter pounds per
week.
Is it fair?
Think it over when you buy your
meat for dinner.

There is no longer any half

lions who are fighting Germany
and the evil 1t represents. Those
~ar-torn lands have little wheat
Of their own. Without it they
will fail.
In order to meet the demand
the people of the United States
