NEED MORE WHEAT TO WIN
HOOVER ISSUES APPEAL

TT 10 imperative that all those
stain from wheat in any form until
the next harvest" That Is the key
note Of Mr.. Hoover's appeal issued
from the pulpits on Sunday to the
free American people. There is no
blinking the truth; the call Is clear.
In the past, presentation Of the facts
has been enough to rouse the nation
to meet all necessary requests. To-
day, although the need Is more acute,
there is still NO compilation.
That would be the Prussian-not
the American-way.
The fact lie thus put by Mr.. Hoover:
'If we are to satisfy the minimum
wheat requirements Of our armies and
the Allies and the suffering millions
in the Allied countries. our consump-
ton until the next harvest must be
reduced 70 one-third of normal. For
each Of Us who can personally contri-
butte to the relief Of human suffering
It ID q privilege, not q sacrifice"
The Maryland Food Administration
does not need to plead Mr.. Hoovers
case. It 10 confident that the c1t-
xenry. In face Of a direct and uneQui-
vocal appeal for even greater wheat
thrift, will vouchsafe a response
measuring fully UP to the traditions
and ideals of this State. The phrase,
wheat is the Test" Is no mere catch
word It is a vital truth that should
burn its way into each individual con-
science. ut is uncomfortable that we
should fail in this crisis" declares
Herbert Hoover. ut Is tnconcsfvable,"
adds State Administrator Baet1er,
"that Marylanders, men, women and
children, could be 80 ensiaved to Gus
tom or convenience that they should
make unneeded inroa0s on that scanty
store OF wheat upon which our Allies
and our own fighting flesh and blood
depend not for mere comfort. but for
very existence.
The public eating places have been
urged to practice wheat-saving to an
extent that will satisfy not only the
law Of the land, but also the con-
science of their proprietors. Their re-
Spouse shows a willingness to go the
limit" But 1t is tn the homes that
seven-eighths Of the country's food
stuffs are consumed; and with full
faith in the active loyalty of all true
citizens, the Maryland Food Admin
istration makes appeal for mani
festation Of patriotism to bridge
crisis which will end with this sum-

srock.PoT IN EVERY HOME.

No people is more thrifty than the
French. Indeed, the national wealth
is said to be founded ON the stock-pot
into which go odds and ends which
wasteful housewives are apt to toss
into the garbage can. Moving pictures
have been sent on tour by the National
Food Administration to teach the
American women what splendid soups
can be obtained from scraps and left
overs which are commonly wasted.
One small boy watched the hero
inc" of one OF these films carefully
pare her vegetables and then place
them in her stock-pot- WHATS the

chickens?" he asked. Instead OF that,
she soon produced delicious bouillon
which astonished not only sonny, but

ton against waste: and none OF It's
discoveries Is more simple than the
stook-pot
